#i watched infinity war and i got sad so here | Explore Tumblr posts and blogs

Note

Hello! I’ve liked your fics for a long time, and was wondering if you would write something with fem- presenting Loki? There are some gender-fluid Loki fics on ao3, but I Need More To Live. I would write one, but I wouldn’t ever finish it.

I really want Loki to join the avengers in 2012 so that the other stuff doesn’t happen. sometimes I want Loki and Natasha to make fun of the rest of the avengers.

Idk I just really like the idea that Loki and Natasha would be friends. Or Loki and Wanda. (Except for all of the aforementioned characters got done so dirty by MCU. Isn’t that like a trope? Kill off the girl so the guy has a motivation to defeat the bad guy? Like from Green Lantern or something?

And Loki and Wanda got rewritten.). Whatever. I’m PERFECTLY OKAY! *eye twitches*

That kind of turned into a rant. Sorry.

Here are more of my headcanons, because I’d rather dm someone on tumblr instead of actually making a post on my blog. I’m weird.

-Loki was friends with Tchaikovsky and Mozart and Shakespeare. Maybe even Paganini, or like Ada Lovelace. Or Albert Einstein. Basically a lot of historical figures and also musicians from the 1980s.

-Loki is an honorary gay, because he’s an alien and aliens don’t have human concepts of gender and sexuality. But also you saw that 🏳️‍🌈hand flip🏳️‍🌈 he did in the 1602 episode. I mean, he was just being so gay in that 1602 episode. It was beautiful.

-Loki is a sad little boi. 🥺🥺

-Loki is a good little boi who got did dirty by MCU and Odin. (🥺🥺)

-Loki isn’t always a boy.🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️(unfortunately no gender-fluid flag emojis so 💕🤍💜🖤💙)

-Loki knows all the languages.

-Loki would watch anime and Kdramas if HE WASN’T DEAD.

-Loki is a theater kid.

-Loki is cat

-Loki knows how to play ALL the instruments. He likes cello the best though. Also he has perfect pitch.

-Loki needs therapy. Like two blue whales worth of therapy.

-If Tony and Loki ever had a long conversation, they would figure out how to solve world hunger and climate change and overpopulation AND THEIR MOTHERS. (It doesn’t make sense but just roll with it)

-Loki is a Major Fucking Nerd About Everything.

-Loki likes calculus as a hobby.

-Loki is, (un?)fortunately, a British stereotype.

-Loki ships appledash and narusasu.

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk. Bye, and thanks for letting me dump headcanons on you.

Hi! Thank you so much for sharing all of these with me, it's so fun to see other people's headcanons about Loki and their excitement about his character. I love discussing this blorbo and cracking him open like an onion to peal away layers of trauma and reveal the nerd beneath.

Lol, the amount of times I've thought about doing an MCU rewrite post a1 to fix everything is insane. If I did do this, I'd actually probably start at civil war, because personally, I feel like everything was (generally) actually okay and enjoyable until infinity war. Civil war is just a good place to kick around the fix-its because everything is such a mess.

As far as your request goes, it might surprise you, but you're actually NOT the first person to approach me about a genderfluid, fem-presenting Loki. More like the....4th? or maybe 5th? Idk. I've definitely been approached by multiple people over the years about this. Firstly, thank you for trusting me with your idea and your headcanons, I'm humbled and honored that you would approach me about this because you believed I would be able to write the story in a way that you would find meaningful and enjoyable <3

Second - I really just don't know. My first inclination is to say no, not because I'm not interested or don't care, but mostly because I'm so busy right now I really don't know when I'll be able to get to the story. Plus, I'm really not sure how to go about this. I'd need to figure out what direction I wanted to take the story, because Loki being genderfluid wouldn't change that much except their outward appearance. Loki + genderfluid + Natasha friendship is an amazing concept, but it's not a...plot, if that makes sense? "Fixing" a1 could be 50,000,000 separate things, and if it goes out as a fix-it for mcu, that would be an enormous project. Easily 200k-400k+, which would take me like...uh 1-3 years to write.

Loki being genderfluid IS something I've thought about just adding to my fics in general now (i'm really not sure, because I love cis male Loki, and I know it's canon that he's genderfluid, but I kind of disregard most things from the series anyway?) but Idk?

+ and this is just a personal one for me, but I don't know how to include Loki being genderfluid as a major part of the plot/story right now. Like, for example, I've been in the process of dumping all of my religious lgbtq+ trauma on peter parker in a (massive) one-shot that revolves around Peter learning to accept himself as being gay, but the point of the story is that Peter doesn't accept himself at first and the conclusion is when he does. (I don't know if I'm ever going to share or finish that fic by the way, so don't look for it) I don't know how to take the concept of this story, turn it into a fix-it for Avengers 1 with Natasha, and have a meaningful story about being genderfluid at the same time?

Like to me there's two different ways to go about lgbtq+ stories: a story about being gay that is intended to talk about lgbtq+ experiences and focus heavily on that, vs a story where the character is lgbtq+ and it's just part of their character and not something we spend a lot of time talking about because we don't need to. The story isn't about them being lgbtq+ specifically, it's about the character. Recently, a lot more media has started doing the latter, which is really, really nice because I don't feel like being lgbtq+ has to be justified every 20 lines.

The story I'm writing about Peter Parker is the former. It's about being gay. The entire story revolves around it. What I can tell from what you're saying is that you want something where Loki just IS genderfluid, but it's not something we spend a whole lot of time discussing because the story isn't ABOUT being genderfluid, it's about fixing mcu with genderfluid Loki as the main character, if I'm understanding this correctly? Which is fine and I absolutely support it because there is nothing wrong with writing genderfluid Loki and I wholeheartedly support those authors.

So i guess to shorten this - because this isn't just like a ~5-15k one-shot (which are about the only length of requests I can successfully complete right now), as respectfully as I can, I'm going to have to lovingly turn you down. I'm not saying no, I'll never write about genderfluid Loki, because I'm like 90% sure I will eventually, but I just don't know about a fix-it for MCU from the first Avengers. One suggestion I have is maybe, if you really really need to see this come to fruition, is to just write a bunch of one-shots that are interconnected based on each of your headcanons and then publish it as an interconnected series, not so much a full length novel like I would write. I can easily see this being a really enjoyable series. Best of luck

~galaxy <3

#loki #fic request #lgbtq #galaxy's writing #i'm so sorry really #i can tell that you have SO MUCH passion for this 'verse and I wish that I had the energy to bring this to life for you #but I'm just so busy and so mentally ill and I just wish I could pick this out of my brain and gift it to you instead #but i just...#ghusdghsd #i'm sorry #:/#i'm so burned out with writing right now #i think rewriting my og novel 4 times and the second book twice on top of all the fic projects I've been doing #kind of left me a very burnt out husk

Distraction | Echo MCU | Henry ‘Black Crow’ Lopez

Chapter : Avenging

Pairing: Henry ‘Black Crow’ Lopez x Erika ‘Vixen’ Montes

Infinity War - Thanos: Snap Year 2018

After Thor killing Thanos with Nat, Bruce, Steve, Carol, Rhodey, Steve, Nebula and Rocket. How much she couldn't handle it all. Steve check up on her. "We did everything we could Erika." Knowing that Thanos Destroyed the Stones.

Tears running down her face. "We lost people in our lives. It was such a big lost. Steve, I don't even know how I can move past this. You know after Killing Thanos, will we ever get them back? " Even the most powerful came together couldn't stop Thanos. It didn't made her feel better at all.Erika was in Battle along with other heroes, Her mother died in battle. Her Sister Stacey, Cousin Ned Leeds even his best friend Peter Parker in space, Kuya Denny were snapped. Her Father left the montes sisters at a young age. She stayed at her Lola's house during the five years at New York. Ned's Lola is her mother's aunt. She felt so alone. Lola knew her granddaughters were gifted and heroes. "Na miss na kita. Neng you can stay here as long as you want." (I miss you so much, Baby or young girl.) She couldn't have been more proud of her. Welcoming Erika into her home . Lola was confused and couldn't believe it that Ned and Stacey were snapped and Erika had to remind her Lola and answer her questions. "Lola they are all gone, we did everything we could to stop yung malaking purple na lalaki." As Erika tears going down her face. Lola comforts her. "Alam kung babalik sila sa atin." (I just know that they will come back to us.) As Lola caress her face and gently wipes her face. Within those five years the two have grown closer than ever.

"Thanks Lola. But I have to go back to San Francisco soon."

Avengers: Endgame

During the five years there was many emotions Erika felt. Grieve, Anger, Depression, Sadness, Regret. That was the first time she felt she couldn't handle everyones emotions. She usually can block them. But she got to move forward and live her life. She have met many heroes in her life.

Tears running down her face. "We lost people in our lives. It was such a big lost. Steve, I don't even know how I can move past this. Killing Thanos wasn't the solution now is it, will we ever get them back? " Even the most powerful came together couldn't stop Thanos. It didn't made her feel better.

Over the years Nat have checked on everybody.

Erika was originally from San Francisco, California. She went back to her hometown. That's when she came across Scott. "You're that superhero kid that can stop bullets with her eyes! Wow! How long has it been? How long I was gone?" He recognized her.

Squinting her eyes from a far. "Oh... My... God... Scott? I thought you were snapped away." She smiled. Recognizing him. Then Scott wanted her to meet his daughter Cassie.

Erika Immediately taking him to Avengers head quarters. "Steve! Nat! Look who I brought. " Erika smiling and yelling she now patting Scotts back seeing the camera is now on. Motioning that the camera is on... "Oh, Hi, Hi! Uh is anyone home?"

"Yes, someones there I know Natasha and Steve should be in the headquarters. I just told you the camera is on." Erika says sassily.

Scott continues to talk to the camera. "This is, uh Scott Lang. We met at the Airport... In Germany. I was the guy who got really big. I had a mask on. You wouldn't recognize me. Ant-Man. I know you know that." Then Scott, points at her, still not knowing that Nat and Steve can see him. "She knows! She's Vixen! Who woulda known she was also from San Francisco. I really need to talk to you guys." Steve thinking it was an old message. Then Scott explains to Nat, Steve and Erika Quantum Physics.

With Time Travel we finally got Tony he made up with Steve, Bruce and Rocket got Thor back and Natasha and Erika got Clint together.

Everyones taking notes on the stones.

It was hard to watch Thor explain the Aether Stone/ The Reality Stone. Erika was going to explain the Stone through his Memories. "I'm awake. No I got it. I'll do the story telling. No need to look into my Memories."

Erika couldn't help but love animals and Rocket even though he got a mouth. Tony did call him a Build a Bear. Her Lola use to send her Build a Bears when she was little. Rocket said that while talking about The Power Stone. Peter Quill stole The Power Stone from Morag the planet. Scott ask, "Like a planet, in outer space."

Rocket patting his head. "Oh, It's like a little puppy. Do you wanna go to space. Do you wanna go to space puppy? I take ya to space." Teasing him. While everyone having Chinese take out. Then Rocket looks over to Erika. "Can't believe this little girl is strong and full of happiness."

Nebula explaining the Soul Stone. "Vormir is Domination of Death at the very center of celestial existence. It's where Thanos murdered my sister." Then, Scott awkwardly says, "Not it."

Bruce and Erika explain the Time Stone. She has encountered Dr. Strange through her Mother, was an Ally of Strange and Wong. Thanos thought the Time stone was with Diane as she was one of the Time Stone protectors. While everyone’s tired and lying down.

Nat, "That Time Stone guy."

Bruce, "Doctor Strange."

Nat, "Yeah, what kind of Doctor was he?"

Erika, "A Neurosurgeon."

Tony, " Ear Nose Throat meets Rabbit from hat."

Nat, "Wait, He lives in New York."

Erika, Just releasing along with Natasha she quickly sat up facing Nat. "Yeah, he does. We have some stones here in New York." Gasps out of excitement.

Bruce and Tony talks over Nat and Erika, "Blecker and Sullivan Street."

Tony, "Have you been listening to anything."

Nat adds "Guys, If you pick the right year. there are three stones in New York." That causes Hulk to get up saying, "Shut the front door."

There are Six Stones, Three Teams and One shot. Space, Mind, Reality, Power, Time, and Soul.

Steve, Bruce, Tony, and Scott got the Space, Time, Power Stone

Thor and Rocket got the Reality Stone.

Nebula, Rhodey, Nat, Clint, and Erika got the Soul Stone and Power Stone. While they Spilt into two Rhodey and Nebula team up together while Nat, Clint, and Erika team up together at Vormir.

2014 Thanos knows about the future. Nebula tried to warn Nat, Clint, and Erika.

Nat, "Bet the Raccoon didn't have to climb a mountain. It's so easy for her she could levitate and fly." Motions at Erika.

Clint, "Technically he's not a Raccoon you know."

Erika, "He actually is, he was experimented on though. That's how he can talk." Nat gave both Clint and Erika a look.

Nat, "Oh, whatever. He eats garbage." Erika rolls her eyes playfully and giggles.

The Red Skull welcomes the three. "Welcome." The three goes on their fighting stances. Nat points her gun, Clint got his Ronin Sword and Erika got her magic and her bladed red fans ready in a fighting stance.

"Natasha daughter of Ivan, Erika Daughter of Diane, Clint of Edith."

Nat still pointing a Gun to the gun, "Who are you?"

2014 Red Skull, "Consider me a guide. To you, and to all who seek the Soul Stone."

Nat, "Oh, good. You tell us where it is. Then we'll be on our way.

"Ah, liebchen– If only it were that easy." Red Skull leads the three to the cliff. "-What you seek lies in front of you... as does what you fear."

Nat, "The stone is down there."

Red Skull, "For one of you. For the other... In order to take the stone, you must lose that which you love. An everlasting exchange. A soul, for a soul." Natasha sitting on a log while Clint watches the Stonekeeper. As Erika saw a vision of Gamora being pushed by Thanos to get the Soul Stone five years ago also a vision of Natasha taking the fall off the cliff.

Natasha and Erika talk to each other telepathically.

Nat, 'Let him figure it out on his own. I know you can communicate with me and hear my thoughts.'

Erika, 'Nat, please don't do this. You have Yelena.'

Nat,'You have Stacey, a big family who's looking forward to see you. When they get back. You don't want to let your grandma down do you?'

Clint checks on Erika, She spaced out a bit while Nat sits this one for a bit..., "How's it going? Erika, You saw something didn't you." He chuckles a bit. "-Jesus...Maybe he's making this shit up... Erika please tell me he is lying." As Clint walking around back and forth a bit.

Erika calmly says, "Someone have to make a sacrifice. I saw that Thanos pushed Gamora off the cliff to get that stone."

Nat adds, "No. I don't think so."

Clint "Why, cause he knows your Daddy's name?"

Nat, "Erika's right... I didn't... Thanos left here with the stone without his daughter. It's not a coincidence."

Clint, "Yeah."

Nat, "Whatever it takes."

Clint, "Whatever it takes." Natasha stands up.

Nat, "If we don't get that stone, billions of people stay dead."

Clint, "Then I guess we both know who it's gotta be."

Nat, "I guess we do." Erika knew it would be Nat going to make the Sacrifice. It wasn't her part to tell Clint. Nat hugs Erika then after. Clint holds Natasha's hand and she reciprocates and they look at each other.

Clint, "I'm starting to think– we mean different people here, Natasha."

Nat, "For the last five years I've been trying to do one thing, Get to right here. That's all it's been about. Bringing everybody back."

Clint, "Oh, don't you get all decent on me now."

Nat, "What, you think I wanna do it? I'm trying to save your life, you idiot." Erika staying out the two conversation.

Clint, "Erika's got a sister and once her sister is back she's have nothing. Yeah, well, I don't want you to, because I– Natasha, you know what I've done. You know what I've become. Erika also deserves to live as much as you do."

Erika just have to ask, "What about Yelena?" Nat, Looking down not facing her.

Nat, "I don't judge people on their worst mistakes. Neither does Erika. She's got so much life ahead of hers. She's got a family. "

Clint, "Maybe you should."

Nat, "You didn't."

Clint, "You're a pain in my ass, you know that?"

Both Clint and Natasha lean their heads against each other. Then Nat places a hand on Erika. and they both smile at each other. Nat communicates Erika, "Tell Yelena, I love her."

Clint, "Okay. You win." Clint smiles and knocks Natasha to the ground.

Clint, "Tell my family I love them." Natasha returns the favor by tackling Clint to the ground.

Nat, "You tell them yourself." Natasha electrocutes Clint and she runs towards the cliff. Clint gets up and shoots an explosive arrow knocking her down. Clint then runs towards the cliff and jumps. Erika catches up to Clint, Natasha jumps after him and hooks him up to a grappling hook. Erika Levitating into the air.

Clint, "Damn you!"

Nat, "Let me go."

Erika, "Nat. " Whispers sadly as Erika and Clint.

Clint, "No. Please, no."

Nat, "It's okay." then she faces Erika, "Tell Yelena I love her."

Clint, "Please-" Natasha kicks the wall, falls off the rope, and plummets to the ground. "NO!!!" Erika tries to lift her up. with her powers. But it was rare that it wasn't working. and on time. Natasha's body on the ground, dead. A boom in the sky sends Clint and Erika in a pool of water. Then the Soul Stone in Clint's hand. He hits the ground out of sadness. Erika crying. Erika don't know whether to hug Clint or not. But he really needed that hug. He wanted to be angry at Erika. Clint let her hug him. That Erika knew Nat would sacrifice herself to save billions of people. Erika's and Clint's Quantum Suits activates and they both shrink back to the present day, soon joined by the others returning from their journeys. At the Avengers Head Quarters and the Quantum platform everyone looks around to see all the recovered stones.

Bruce asking, Erika and Clint, "Where's Nat?" The silence from Clint and Erika tells them all they need to know. The mission was completed but at a dire cost. Sadness overtakes everyone. Bruce falls to his knees and pounds the floor in grief.

Outside the Head Quarters at the Lakeside Erika, Tony, Steve, Thor, Clint, and Bruce are mourning their fallen teammate and friend.

Tony, "Do we know if she had family?"

Steve, "Yeah. Us."

Thor, Confused, "What?"

Tony, "Huh? I just asked him a question–"

Erika, tries to calm Thor down, before this gets heated. "I know, we're processing all of this."

Thor, "Yeah, you're acting like she's dead. Why are we acting like she's dead? We have the stones, right? As long as we have the stones, Cap, we can bring her back, isn't that right?" He growls angrily at Tony. "-So stop this shit. We're the Avengers, get it together."

Erika, "Thor, my powers wouldn't work to prevent what happened at Vormir. Even if I use my magic to heal her and bring her back. We couldn't. It's a true sacrifice." Thor couldn't yell at Erika.

Clint adds "We can't get her back."

Thor, " Wha– what?" Looking at Clint and Erika at disbelief.

Clint, "It can't be undone. It can't." Thor dryly laughs.

Thor, "I'm sorry. No offense, but you're a very earthly being. Okay? We're talking about space magic. And "can't" seems very definitive don't you think?"

Erika, "Any magic we can't use. She can't come back."

Clint, to Thor "Yeah, look, I know that I'm way outside my pay grade here. But she still isn't here, is she?"

Thor, "No, that's my point–"

Clint, "It can't– be undone. Erika did everything she could! Or that's at least what the red floating guy had to say. Maybe you wanna go talk to him, okay? GO GRAB YOUR HAMMER, AND YOU GO FLY AND TALK TO HIM!" Clint's anger is quickly replaced with grief.

Erika having tears falling down due to guilt. Didn't want to go into this conversation. Because, she can sense that Clint blames her. Clint, "It was supposed to be me. She sacrificed her life for that goddamn stone. She bet her life on it. Erika had a vision and she knew this whole time." In a burst of anger, Bruce grabs a bench and hurls it clear across the lake. His anger spent, he turns to the others with a resigned look on his face.

Bruce, she's not coming back. We have to make it worth it. We have to.

Steve, "We will."

Bruce used the Infinity Stones to bring everyone back.

Clint got a call from his wife Laura. Then Erika got a phone call from Stacey.

"Ate! Kuya Denny! (Older Sister, Erika calls Denny older brother this for respect and that he's older) You're back." Erika Smiling hugged Stacey and Denny when they came back. During another Battle with Thanos. Wong, and Doctor Strange created many portals to bring more heroes that have fallen to fight Thanos for the second time.

Peter Parker was so glad to see Erika. "Peter, that means Neds back. I am so glad you're back." They hugged. Peter was shocked though she aged a bit within the five years knowing that they're both around the same age.

Clint gives the Gauntlet to T'Challa, and he runs towards the van while fighting Thanos' army. Eventually he is stopped by the double edged sword, boomeranged by Thanos. When it gets back to him, he charges T'Challa, but is stopped by Wanda, who is filled with anger for the loss of Vision.

Wanda, "You took everything from me."

Erika joins Wanda and the two teams up, Erika yells. "You took my Mother away from me!!!" This was the time she expresses her anger. Then Stacey Joins.

Thanos says he doesn't know the three telekinesis women.

Wanda, "You will." With her powers, Wanda picks up some debris on the ground and tries to crush Thanos with it. then Stacey Blasting her fire powers all over him.

Peter Parker grabs the Gauntlet with his webshooters and is surrounded by Chitauri.

The spaceship cannons appear and start to fire at the heroes. It flings the three telekinetic women away. Wong makes a shield and holds it up. The others do the same. Suddenly one of the cannons hit a dam. Water starts to flood into the battlefield. Pepper is the first to notice.

Peter is still battling the Chitauri. Peter Parker, "I got this. I got this! Okay, I don't got this. Help! Somebody, help!" Still have the gauntlet.

Steve, "Hey, Queens, heads up."

Steve throws Mjolnir, and Peter shoots a web and glides along, then Pepper Potts catches him. Pepper Potts "Hang on. I got you, kid." She drops him on Valkyrie's Pegasus

Peter Parker, "Hey! Nice to meet you– OH, MY GOD!"

The cannons knock Peter Parker off the Pegasus, then they turn to face something in the sky as all the cannons start shooting at something.

Carol Danvers landing near Peter, who is on the ground, weirdly hugging the gauntlet with his body.

Peter, "Hi. I'm– Peter Parker."

Carol "Hey, Peter Parker. You got something for me?"

Erika helps Peter up, Peter Parker gets up and passes Carol the gauntlet, "I don't know how you're gonna get it through all that."

Wanda arrives, Valkyrie flying on her Pegasus as she arrives. Wanda says, "Don't worry."

Okoye, "She's got help." Erika, Stacey, then Pepper lands next to Okoye, followed by Mantis, Shuri, the Wasp, 2014 Gamora and Nebula.

After The Second Thanos Battle

At the cottage. Pepper carries a wreath out of the house to an audience waiting outside for the intimate funeral. She lays the wreath on the lake. On top of the wreath is Tony's first arc reactor which Pepper had framed with the words "Proof That Tony Stark Has a Heart" back in 2008. Pepper, Morgan, Happy Hogan, & Rhodey, all being joined by Steve Rogers, Peter Parker, May Parker, Erika Montes, Stacey Montes, Denny, Thor, Bruce Banner, Doctor Strange, Wong, Scott Lang, Hope Van Dyne, Janet Van Dyne, Hank Pym, Peter Quill, Nebula, Rocket, Teenage Groot, Drax, Mantis, T'Challa, Okoye, Shuri, Clint Barton & his family, Wanda Maximoff, Bucky Barnes, Sam Wilson, Harley Keener, Secretary Ross, Maria Hill, Carol Danvers, and Nick Fury, silently watching the wreath float away.

Erika, Clint and Wanda, standing by the riverside shortly afterwards. Clint, Looking over to Erika and Wanda. "You know, I wish there was a way– that I could let her know. That we won... We did it."

Wanda, "She knows– They all do." Talking about Vision, Nat, and Diane Erika's mother.

Clint in the middle of Erika and gives the two a side hug, Wanda and Erika. reciprocates.

Denny had to say good bye to Steve. It's the best time he lost a close friend, He's glad he got Sam and Bucky along his side.

We have lost some and brought back some. From Tony and Bruce using the Stones. It was the hard for both to transition for those who have gotten resurrected back from the snap. The last thing that Stacey saw was her Mother dying and her sister almost dying during the Thanos battle.

Erika and Stacey got reunited with Ned and their Lola.

Author’s Note: The first few chapters will be about Erika as a Hero, Friend, Family. We’re getting to know her during the time of Infinity War and Endgame. But these events would process and talked about more in future chapters.

Note

Something I've been thinking about is what we aren't shown in vol 3 when it comes to Gamora's emotions. There have been a lot of justified criticisms of her role and of how the mcu has treated parts of her story. I really hope they continue because it's an important conversation to have. But for now I want to come at this from a different angle and dig deeper on what we didn't get. I can only imagine how much anger Gamora must have at knowing she helped create a beautiful family and then Thanos killed her and now she will never be able to experience it in that same way. It has to hurt. Now she's here and she's doing the best she can with what she's got and it probably doesn't feel like enough. Especially when being compared to things she didn't get to experience. So when we get to the end of the movie and we have Peter moving forward enough in his grief to see Gamora for who she is in the moment and where she is at right now in her life and essentially tell her that she's enough, it's really beautiful and poignant and you can see it makes her happy. So happy that she finds the strength to be vulnerable and return the sentiment by finally saying she is at her core the woman he loved. It's such a powerful and loving moment.

True it's not her "I love you more than anything" but you know what that moment in Infinity War was the result of healing she was robbed of and hasn't found again yet. "I bet we were fun" was a huge step in the direction of finding that healing again. So people shouldn't didmiss it. And just to be clear I'm not speaking about people critiquing the fact that vol 3 dropped the ball on so much of Gamora's role and how she deserved so much better after Infinity War. I'm speaking about people who thought the exchange meant nothing and showed no emotional connection or that it was somehow shutting down that Gamora had any sort of feelings for Peter.

I can totally understand why Gamora would be hesitant to come back to this family that her alternate self created, even though I know she was curious and still craved to find that sort of thing (doesn’t she ask nebula about the guardians and alternate gamora in endgame? I haven’t watched the movie in actual years). I bet she was feeling a lot of pressure over it, like they would expect things of her that she was not able or willing to give to what were basically strangers to her, and decided the best thing for herself was to cut it off at the knees and leave it fully aside and make no attempts to get to know anyone. I think it’s pretty obvious though that she clearly still wanted something like that, and that’s why she kept in contact with Nebula and still calls her, her sister, and why she found the Ravagers and carved out a new home for herself there. But I do want to think that maybe she IS a little sad that there are things that were taken from her by Thanos. I don’t think she regrets her new family or her decision to keep the guardians at arms length, but yeah, I’m sure she’s contemplated what that would be like. Her “I bet we were fun” feels like proof that she’s thought about it, at least a little.

And you’re right, him acknowledging her as her own separate person DOES make her extremely happy! I think him saying that to her was really important for her, enough to start planting the seeds for this idea that, no, she will never be this other Gamora that they (and especially Peter) loved, but she is still worthy of love now and it can be totally separate. She doesn’t have to live in this other Gamora’s gigantic shadow. I think that was a big concern for her, and having him acknowledge that he liked her for who she was now was very relieving to her, and it allowed her to admit to him that she’d been thinking about them and what they must have been like. It’s a really big and important step for both of them and I’m tired of seeing people dismiss it as an end for them. It truly wasn’t!

#callie.txt #answered #anonymous #this is a few days old but I’ve been thinking abt it the whole time and I still don’t think I answered with all of my thoughts but #it’s good enough for now #I’ll never be done talking about these two #vol 3 questions #vol 3 spoilers

Ramblings: Tom Holland's career

I'm going to do a couple of other posts about Insomniac's Spider-Man 2, I played it the week it came out and I've just been watching clips and videos and I loved it. But anyway, this is about Tom Holland.

So, I've been of the opinion that while Tom is a fantastic actor, he keeps choosing projects (or his agent is) that he's either too good for, or the writing for them is less than stellar.

So here is a list of his films that I've seen. I haven't seen The Crowded Room but I heard it wasn't good but that Tom was good in it, which isn't surprising, story of his life I think.

The Impossible Lucas Bennett - First live action film, he's fantastic in this, should have been nominated. Made me cry.

How I Live Now Isaac - Weird little movie but he's good in it. Also made me tear up.

In the Heart of the Sea Thomas Nickerson - I forget about this one but he's fine it, the movie is fine.

Captain America: Civil War Peter Parker / Spider-Man - His Spider-Man debut and though he has a small part, he's great. Great debut.

The Lost City of Z Jack Fawcett - He plays the older version of the son and it's sad what's implied that happens to them but he's fine in this. His little mustache though had me cackling.

Pilgrimage The Novice / Brother Diarmuid - This movie is interesting and good and he's very good in it. Apparently while filming this, he and Jon Bernthal were sending in their tapes for Spider-Man and The Punisher lol.

Spider-Man: Homecoming Peter Parker / Spider-Man - Great solo film, felt like a John Hughes movie wrapped in comic book pajamas. I really love his suit, I guess we call it the "Stark Suit" since in the games, that's what it's called.

The Current War Samuel Insull - I don't remember him in this movie at all.

Avengers: Infinity War - Loved him in this, still wish he got to interact with Steve more than he did. I don't like the Iron Spider suit that much, but his scene with the snap was great, they knew who they had and capitalized on it.

Avengers: Endgame - Not in this one as much as IW, but I liked the scene where he has the gauntlet and he says "Hi, I'm Peter Parker" and Carol is like "Hey Peter Parker..."

Spider-Man: Far From Home - I feel like people are really hard on this movie, I love it. It was my fave Spidey movie for a while. I really loved the whole Mysterio thing. There are some things I might have wanted done differently but I overall loved it. I also love his Upgraded Suit and I liked how he used his intelligence to fight at the end.

Spies in Disguise Walter Beckett - I thought this was cute, it was fun and he does a great job with voice acting.

Dolittle Jip - the movie was not good and his role is small, but the voice acting was fine.

Onward Ian Lightfoot - Cute movie, made me tear up, the voice acting was really good. Love the brother relationship in this.

The Devil All the Time Arvin Russell - This should have been a mini series but he's good in it.

Cherry Cherry - Not a good movie but he's fine. He does despair very well lol.

Chaos Walking Todd Hewitt - Not a good movie, lots of potential, might have worked better as a tv series since it's a book series. Also, should have been made in the boom of YA dystopian movies or maybe now thanks to The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes coming out. But he's fine it.

Spider-Man: No Way Home - Great movie, really fun, the emotional aspects of this movie he does so well. Yes it sucks that none of the villains in this movie are HIS villains but it just goes to show that he needs to have his own Green Goblin, can you imagine the PTSD that would come from that?

Uncharted Nathan Drake - I actually very much like this movie, I watch it often on Netflix lol. It's probably a movie I've put on repeat. It's not great but it's not as bad as people were saying. I've only played maybe 2 hours of the first game so I'm not nostalgic lol. I think he's good in it, and it's the first time I looked at him and was like "oh... he's an adult" and was attracted to him lol. I think he's handsome but he always just skewed young to me but after this, I was like... oh that's a man.

A lot of his career is Spider-Man and maybe he doesn't like that anymore, maybe he feels like he's being stuck since his Non Spider-Man movies haven't been well received, but I don't think that's the case. I feel like he isn't stuck, he just needs to take this break he said he wanted to take, and reevaluate his choices.

And when he's ready, he needs to be in a Romantic Comedy (Rom-Com), like a pure Rom-Com. Also, let him keep his own accent, I know this man is British lol but I haven't seen him use his own accent in a movie in a while. He can be a college student, or a young adult just trying to find love. Put him and Zendaya in a rom-com together, capitalize more on their chemistry lol. But not really, I'm just kidding, I just couldn't think of anyone but Saoirse Ronan would be good!

Let him do a road trip brother movie with Jamie Bell, since they look so much alike. Or let him do an action drama with Jamie Bell lol. Or some kind of family drama movie with Jamie Bell. Do something with Jamie Bell.

I know he's going to be playing Fred Astaire soon, which that will be interesting. He'll be dancing, which we know he can do, and singing, which can he still do well? Not that Fred Astaire could sing so it doesn't really matter. But do a musical for fun, something light.

If he wants to do something gritty, then that's okay, oooooo he should do a horror film. That'd be interesting to see.

I think he needs to not worry about doing franchise things right now. Just let Spider-Man be the franchise, because Chaos Walking and Uncharted didn't turn out the way I guess they were hoping though I think Uncharted could get a sequel. Shoot for 2026 because then Tom will be 31 or so and people can stop complaining that he's too young.

But I just feel like, he's too talented to not act anymore. I want to see him in more things, I want to see him win. I think he wins as Peter Parker/Spider-Man even with his detractors, I like him a lot.

As for Spider-Man, after finishing Spider-Man 2 and how they handled the symbiote (which I have plenty to say about that too), I really want to see Tom Holland's Spidey tackle that storyline. They already set it up by Tom Hardy's Venom leaving behind a piece of the symbiote in Tom's world. Plus, with where we left him, he's pretty vulnerable I'd say. I think he would do it so well, I'm not sure how much more of Spider-Man he has in him, but I need at least one more trilogy from him *cries*. If the MCU and Sony were smart, which in some aspects, they're clearly not lol, they would give Tom another trilogy, or at least 4 or 5 more movies and in one of them, introduce Miles and then bam, a clear out for Tom to leave (they could even have another Peter from another universe appear who isn't Tom if they want to keep a Peter) and have Miles for a while.

But anyway, I wish the best for Tom Holland's career, he's too talented and he deserves some movie wins, that aren't Spider-Man. Rom Com I feel like is the best course corrector to do. Even if it just ends up on Hulu... like have ya'll seen Rye Lane?

But just some ramblings that I've had on my mind for a while.

#Tom Holland #Zendaya #Spider-Man #Spider-Man 2 #insomniac spider man #Miles Morales #Peter Parker #Tom Holland movies #tom holland spiderman #Marvel #MCU #movies #romantic comedy

Okay so you said you haven’t gotten asks in years and I’m here to change that :)

How did you get into Star Wars? And, more specifically, Rexsoka?

��you are so kind omg.

Okay, well it’s super weird actually. I loved the video game Disney Infinity and they were introducing Star Wars in the third edition of the game, so I didn’t want to not know what was going on and therefore binged all of the material available in like 2014. I fell in LOVE with tcw and with Ahsoka’s character. It makes me sad that I didn’t grow up with Star Wars! I was always told stuff like it was considered “boys movies”. So now I literally love all the “boy movies” I never got to watch when I was little, like Harry Potter or lord of the rings.

Anyway lol. As for rexsoka, tumblr happened! The same time I got into Star Wars, the force awakens was coming out so this blog actually started out as a reylo account 🤣 but I found myself more and more wrapped up in tcw material after I made my account. So it was probably fan art or a fic that I happened across and just fell in love with the ship and started writing fic in like 2016! The rest is history so here I am 9 years later!!

#sorry this is so long I got excited #asks #rexsoka #about me

I agree with you about Peter and Mantis. Their siblings reveal honestly felt superfluous. I don't hate it or anything, but it doesn't feel like a plot point with real investment or progression. I think I'm in the minority though where there are few things about vol 3 that feel like they're there just to be there while there are genuine leftover plots from Endgame and Infinity War that got ignored. Even buying Knowhere. I'm not against it and know it's connection to the comics but it doesn't feel like a fully explored addition to the story.

The whole 2018/14 Gamora situation is similar to me. I love Gamora and I'm definitely not unhappy about her being in the vol 3, but I can't help feel her poor character has just been needlessly jerked around. She had her life disrupted in childhood, adulthood and then adulthood again. They kinda dragged her to the future for nothing imo. She didn't get to explore her feelings about being permanently free from Thanos. She never got to form a relationship of her own with the guardians. She was thrown into the deep end when she got to the future and had to sink or swim before having to deal with the guardians in an intense situation where, like someone else said, it mostly seemed to be about Peter. I just feel like she could have been allowed to live out her life in the past and meet the guardians as intended. They could've had 2018 Nebula in the past get a sneak attack on Thanos and take him out and then head back to the future leaving the past happily continuing. I understand that's a little much but I guess mostly I feel like Gamora's entire abuse survivor journey became an easily dismissed casualty in this wider story. They didn't treat anyone else's life in quite this way and I still don't think it was necessary.

Also superficially I'm sad Gamora of all people never got to wear the official guardians uniform.

The way I agree with you on everything here!! Honestly I’d completely forgotten abt the gotg buying knowhere when I first watched vol 3 cuz I’d only watched the holiday special once—back when it came out in like November 😭—so I was like oops hope that wasn’t important to remember all the details of! I think part of why it’s kind of jarring is bc the gotg spent 4 years living on ships and seeming fine so it was kinda like…when did they decide they wanted to “settle down” in a sense and basically run their own society? Like I’m down for it but it would’ve been nice to see more of how/when the gotg realized that was something they wanted to do

Funnily, Peter and Mantis being biological siblings had actually become one of those things I sort of forgot wasn’t canon until it actually came up in canon to be made canon, bc it was suuuuch a popular headcanon since vol 2 😭😭😭 And I think that also makes the lack of development for Peter and Mantis’ sibling relationship almost more apparent, bc since it became so common in fanworks, a lot of us had ideas of what it could look like if it were canon, only for canon to just…not rly do anything with it at all. Not that I think canon needed to use our specific ideas or headcanons blah blah blah but just doing literally anything with them being siblings would’ve added more to their characters and their relationship!

You’re so 100% right on everything you said regarding Gamora too—also I am with you in the superficial camp bc I also have been VERY SAD we didn’t get Gamora in a guardians uniform 😭 like I think abt it every time I see that group pic of everyone 😭 like we even got the raccoon in the damn thing but we couldn’t get our literal founder in one???

All I Have Left (Steve Rogers x Reader)

Summary: In which you struggle to cope two years after the snap.

Warnings: Post-Infinity War/Snap, this wasn’t the original idea I was going for but I changed it on a whim oops, mentions of depression & survivor’s guilt, Prosopagnosia (face blindness)

No idea why I wrote this wtf.

Word Count: 1.5k

No one could’ve imagined Thanos being this unstoppable.

His gauntlet glowed with the power of the five Infinity Stones. Your mission was to stop him from getting to Vision – from taking the final stone and destroying life as you know it.

But one by one, your friends were defeated. You were thrown out of his way, landing into the dirt with a thud – your head smacking against a rock, rendering you unconscious. Steve had been able to catch his gloved hand only to meet the Titan’s free fist. Wanda had been successful at destroying the Mind Stone and her lover with it, but with the Time Stone, Thanos was able to bring Vision back and steal the stone, ripping it from the android’s skull.

When hope was lost, it was Thor who came out the skies, lodging his axe into Thanos’s chest. He taunted Thanos, who took the life of his brother just when they were finally getting along. But in Thor’s blind vengeance, he didn’t account for Thanos to say, “you should’ve gone for the head,” and snap.

Your friends started to disappear. Bucky, T��Challa, Groot, Wanda, then Sam along with half the universe. They all disintegrated and left dust in their wake.

In your blurry haze due to the head injury, you stood up on wobbly legs. “Steve?” You called out for your husband. Your vision was unfocused. “Steve!”

He was in front of you immediately. Your hands grasped his tightly, afraid he’d disappear, too. His hold on you was just as tight with the same fear. “I’m here,” Steve muttered. “I’m here.” The both of you crashed down to the floor next to Vision’s colorless, lifeless body. “Oh, god.”

That was two years ago and you hated to admit, but life moved on.

You initially planned to stick by Natasha’s side. She had opted to stay at the compound and be the head of operations for the heroes that stationed themselves in various areas of the galaxy. But you couldn’t do it. You didn’t think you deserved to be on the Avengers – or what was left of it – after losing a battle that killed trillions.

So, you and Steve opted for the quiet life in the city. He led a support group while you volunteered your time in foodbanks and shelters. You were both lucky to still have each other. You had the luxury of coming home to someone who loved you.

But you were plagued by the memories. In your dreams, you could still hear Wanda’s laugh or Sam and Bucky bicker. However, because of the traumatic head injury you endured while fighting Thanos, you couldn’t picture their faces. You couldn’t remember what they looked like.

-=+=-

In the shelter you volunteered in, a new face appeared. A young boy was brought in. He must’ve been 4 or 5. Any time a volunteer came up to talk to him, his arm would tighten around the teddy bear in his hands and refuse to talk. One of the volunteers, Melissa, came up to you and asked for your help.

“Hi there, pal,” you smiled at him as you crouched down to his height. “What’s your name?” He didn’t respond. He refused to return your gaze, keeping his eyes on his feet as he picked at the fur of his teddy. “My name is (Y/N) Rogers.”

“Like Steve Rogers?” He muttered. “Like… Captain America?”

“Yeah,” you nodded.

“Are you related?” He frowned, still looking at his shoes.

“Oh, no… he’s my husband,” you laughed a little and flashed the ring on your finger.

“Wow!” He said, finally looking at you. His voice rose an octave in excitement. “I love Captain America! He’s my favorite Avenger!”

“Really? He’s mine, too!” You beamed. “What’s this guy’s name?” You asked, gesturing to the bear in his hands.

“His name is Bucky like Captain America’s best friend… he’s my best friend, too.” Your chest tightened at his name. The blurry faced image of your husband’s best friend raced through your mind. The only thing you could clearly make out was the titanium arm.

“What’s your name, then, buddy?” You managed to say.

“Daniel.” He said. “Named after my dad.”

“That’s a lovely name, Daniel… Where’s your daddy, now?” The excitement in his eyes slowly faded with his smile as your face fell in realization. “Oh…” You whispered with a frown and slowly nodded, regretting that you asked. Tears pricked in your eyes, but you couldn’t cry. Not in front of the child who lost his father. “Well, sweetheart, let’s get some food in ya.”

-=+=-

When Steve came home that night, he found you in the living room with various photo albums scattered around you. He bit his lip as he approached you, knowing exactly what you were doing.

“Hon?” he said, softly, taking a seat on the floor with you. The heavy aroma of his cologne filled the room the closer he got to you and you looked up at him, recognizing the scent, knowing it was Steve, the one face you recognized the most.

“I hate this,” you whimpered. You were helpless as you stared at the photos.

“It’s not your fault,” Steve said.

“That’s you,” you pointed. “Tony. Nat. Rhodey. Pepper.” You stopped. Steve tilted his head to look at the face you were desperately trying to remember.

“Sam.” He answered for you.

“I can’t even remember my friends.” You frowned, closing the album and tossing it aside.

“It’s not your fault.” He repeated. He looked over your face. There was a faint scar from your injury two years ago. It had healed, but you didn’t. “Hon…”

“Why did we survive?” You frowned. “Why did this bastard think the world would allow their loved ones to disappear?” Your face contorted to show your disgust – your hatred – for the titan you could no longer picture.

“We’re still standing.” Steve muttered. “We owe it to those we lost to keep living – to move on.”

“I’m not one of the people in your support group, Steve.” You snapped. “I know better than anyone else that you don’t believe the words you preach.” He took a deep breath and decided to remain silent. You were angry. You were hurt. You were lashing out. He knew you weren’t angry at him. You were angry at the situation. It was understandable. “I met a boy who lost his father today and I swear… I swear if I could take my life just to bring back someone’s parent, I would… I really would.”

“Don’t say that.”

“It’s the truth.”

“This happened for a reason.”

You scoffed. “You don’t believe that, do you?” He just stared at you. “So, you don’t think about our friends who died? So, you don’t wake up in the middle night because you dreamt of when Bucky got dusted right in front of you?”

No… Steve thought. I dream that it’s my wife that disappears and that terrifies me.

“I meant that … I meant that there’s a reason that we both didn’t get dusted – like how Tony and Pepper didn’t disappear, either.”

“That doesn’t change the fact that kids in the world – and throughout the universe – lost their parents. People lost the love of their life… And those who are left behind remember who they lost. I can’t. I can’t remember if what Wanda looked like. I can’t remember what Sam’s smile looks like or if Bucky had blue or green, or were they mixed. So, yeah, if I could, die to bring back one person to bring comfort for someone who needs it.”

“Then what about me?” Steve asked. His tone dropped as he became frustrated. “I’m nobody, right? Just your husband of five years. It’s not like I get comfort from waking up next to my wife. Not like I’m not comforted from the idea that I was lucky enough to have her wake up next to me.”

You sighed. He was right. You were lucky. You both were.

“I can’t bring back the memories. I can’t bring back the faces. I’m sorry. If I could, I’d share my brain with you so that you could remember, but I can’t and I’m sorry.” Steve voice broke. He put up a good front in front of the men and women in his group – in front of Natasha who was barely hanging onto hope. But he was just as broken and helpless, too. “But please don’t say that you’d happily die and leave me to help someone else. I’m sorry if that’s selfish, but I can’t lose you. I love you too much.”

“I’m sorry for saying that,” you whispered. You shuffled over and laid yourself on his lap. His arms wrapped around your waist. “I shouldn’t have said it. I’m sorry.”

Steve buried his face into your hair, pulling you closer to him as if he were afraid that a second wave would hit and you’d disappear in seconds. “I can’t lose you, too, (Y/N). You’re all I have left.”

Hi! I love the stuff you write and I have an idea that I hope you like. Tom and the reader play lovers in the MCU. When they're filming the scene of Peter and herself dusting away, the reader gets emotional (her character does anyway but she goes slightly over the top) and Tom comforts her after filming saying that he's always gonna be there for her. RDJ is with them as well.

Hope you like it!

Dust to comfort

Pairing - Tom Holland x Reader (Actor)

Summary - You and Tom are lovers on and off screen, playing Tony Stark’s daughter! One particular scene makes you overwhelmed, Tom and Robert JR is there to comfort you.

Warnings - Sadness

A/N - Thank you for requesting, I’m glad that you like my writing and I hope you enjoy! I Appreciate all the love and support towards my content! 🥰

Your finally filming the scene in the marvel movie, infinity War where C/N and Peter dust away from Tony Stark. It is the last scene of the day, your really excited about recording it.

You stand leaning on Tom, who plays Peter Parker, yourself playing Tony Stark’s daughter and Peter’s girlfriend before getting position to start the scene.

“TAKE 2, S/N, ACTION!” The Director said as someone uses the clapper-board to start the scene.

“Mr.Stark,” Tom says in his American accent, turning around nervously holding his breath to seem breathless, “I don’t feel so good,” He stumbles, just before he saw you, “Y/C/N,” he trembles as he sees you.

You was running In between the other superhero’s and creatures, trying to find your dad and Peter, your boyfriend.

“Peter,” You gasped, running towards him, “I found you,” you seemed to got lost between all the mayhem that was happening between Thanos, “I don’t know what’s happening!” Peter rapidly, threw himself into your arms.

Tony just standing there watching, he couldn’t do anything as Peter and his daughter cry’s for each other, it’s quite painful seeing his family being split.

“Dad! What is he on about?” You performed tears into your eyes to see your boyfriend lying limp into arms as you hold him tighter, Tony didn’t have time to answer as Peter trembled out words with tears in his eyes.

“I don’t want to go, I don’t want, want to go, I love you Y/C/N!” You burst out crying, “No, no Peter pls don’t go! I love you too,” Before he dusked away, By this point you are crying on the ground, “What happened!” You shouted at Tony, your dad.

“Sweetheart, I’m glad I found you again,” Tony hugged you, “Dad, it hurts,” You breathed heavily, “It hurts, what is happening?” You feel yourself drifting away into small little pieces, tears in your eyes as you say your finally words, “I love you dad,” Tony hugged you tighter, “Love you too, sweetheart, I’m so sorry,”

Just like that Tony had nothing left, no Peter, No daughter.. barely any family left.

“AND CUT,” The director shouts, “That was good guys, don’t think we need another scene!”

You nodded, getting off set to see Tom standing behind the curtain, talking with Robert Downey Jr, “Hey, Darling, Are you ok?” Tom questions concerned as you still had tears in your eyes, “Yh, I’m.. I’m good,” You sniffled.

“Well, your clearly not kid,” Robert spoke up, “But hope you feel better, Holland you better cheer her up,” He pretends to be in overprotective dad mode, “Yh, thanks Robert,” You give him a weak smile as he walks off, “Will do,” Tom smiles.

“Come here, Sweetheart,” Tom hugs you tightly, “Do you want to go back to my trailer? We can get comfy,” Tom suggests, you nod as he takes your hand leading to a more cozy room.

“What’s wrong, love?” Tom questions as he shuts his trailer door, you lay down into his bed under the covers with Tom following you, “The scene just made me emotional, it hit hard,” You whisper, letting tears fall down your face.

“Oh, love, it’s ok! I’m here, no one is going to leave you,” Tom reassures wiping your tears and stroking your head as you snuggle into his chest, “I’m always going to be here for you, Darling,” he kisses your forehead.

“I know,” You smile, relaxing to Tom’s touch, “See, there’s that beautiful smile,” Tom smiles wider, you peck his lips, giggling.

Tom flickers his eyes from your eyes to your lips, leaning into to see kiss you passionately. “I know you was upset, we all do! It’s nothing to be ashamed of,” he speaks sense to you, always.

“Thanks Tom, for always making me smile!” You kiss his cheek, “You make me smile more,” He winks, playfully, kissing your cheek.

“Your warm!” You sigh, lying back down on his chest, “Aren’t I always?” Tom says confused, “Yep,” you laugh.

“You know, it’s quite fun playing lovers on screen and then actually being lovers in real life!” You giggle, “It’s like our own movie,” Tom gives you a look, “I hope not, movies have endings!” Acting devastated, “You what I mean!” You pout.

Tom laughs, “Of course, love,” kisses your forehead again, “I like that,” You hum, “What? Me kissing your forehead,” He questions, smiling.

You nod as you look at him, your hands fall to his soft, brown locks. “I’ll it again, shall I?” Tom smirks, kissing your forehead again, “That’s nice,” You softly trace your fingers over his hands, “I like your hands too,”

“How come?”

“They are soft and bigger than mine,” You giggle, “See,” Matching your hand to his.

“Lovely, Darling,” Tom pulls you closer into his embrace, “You always find weird, things to talk about!”

“Says you,” You tease, “Mr. Holland!”

“I can say because I’ve got..” You cut Tom off from being a smart ass by kissing him.

Tom kisses you deeper, taking your jaw into his hands as he slips his tongue into your mouth.

“You are beautifully, breath taking, Sweetheart,” Tom breathes out, kissing your temple.

“And you are handsome,” You smirk, tracing your finger over his jaw line, “have I said I Love you so much today?” Tom asks, Smiling.

“Don’t believe, you have Mr.Holland,”

“Well, I love you so much, Darling,” Tom presses his lips to yours, “Mm, Love you so much too, Tommy,” you smile into the kiss.

It’s weird how people treat Bucky as the mysterious and secretive one within Sambucky when you can look at him for like two seconds and deduce everything you need to know about him. Sad boi, traumatic past, doesn’t like talking about it, quiet, frustrated, you better don’t interact with him unless he lets you.

Sam Wilson on the other hand? I have no clue what’s going on in his head most of the time. (I mean... I kind of do, as a viewer. But I’m not sure the characters he encounters are just as informed.) He seems like a pretty positive, optimistic person, but there are so many moments when he just looks desperate and on the verge of tears. Like he’s not sure anything will ever work in his favour. He doesn’t talk much about his emotions or his past unless it’s very relevant - and he does that mainly to connect with other people through shared experience. That’s why he mentioned Riley’s death. Or his aunt... who also died.

Karli called him a hopeless optimist. But is he an optimist? I wouldn’t say so. He likes joking and smiles... relatively often... but that’s it. For me he seems more like a realist who knows when he can get the job done to fix a problem. And he fixes a lot of problems. It seems like he helps other people all the time, so you might think he’s just selfless. But his desperate attempts to keep the family boat against Sarah’s protests were pretty selfish. (Objectively. I’m not judging him here.) Giving the shield away was not exatly selfish (he had every right to do so), but he still didn’t listen to anyone telling him to take up the mantle, because he didn’t want to, end of discussion.

For people like Walker he seems like a sidekick and a “wingman”. Someone who followed Steve around. But he didn’t. Sam made all the decisions himself - in ca:tws Steve even discouraged him from joining the fight. He went and fought anyway. Even Bucky, who knew Sam way longer than Walker, just assumed that he went against the Accords, because Steve did. But Sam formed his opinion first - it just happened to align with Steve’s. And how can he be a sidekick who just follows other people when during just his second conversation with Steve he said he likes working at the VA, because there’s no one above him giving him orders and that’s nice?

“Sam is the rational one!” - says the fandom. ...Sam kicked a fucking helicopter mid-flight. And jumped into one almost falling into the rotor.

“Sam is stubborn and will hold a grudge for a long time” - says the fandom (or at least the part of it who clearly dislikes the guy). ... Meanwhile, Sam helped Tony find Steve right after he was shot by him in the face for an accident that was not Sam’s fault. And he helped Vision in Infinity War even thought he was part of said accident. He still talks with Rhodey like they’re okay and nothing happened. And he tried to become friends with Barnes after he almost killed him three times. (As the Winter Soldier, but still.)

Zemo didn’t expect Sam to not hesitate about rejecting the serum.

Karli was surprised by Sam’s character. Later she was suprised again and disappointed that he (of all people) decided to become the new Captain. Isaiah didn’t expect him to take the shield either. But he did take it and Isaiah had to admit he was wrong about Sam after he heard his speech.

“I never said pilot ;)” ... Yeah, I know. You never did, Sam. Because you say so little about yourself. And it’s so vague and carefully selected.

“He speaks Arabic...” Yeah, Torres. I was surprised too.

--- ----- ---

This whole show (and Sam’s entire story in the MCU) seems like it’s just a person after a person, after a person making assumptions about Sam and then realizing that... Actually they were wrong the whole time. Either partially or complitely.

Sam is so secretive about his own thoughts and feelings that he tricked everyone around him into thinking he’s an open book, so no one bothers to even ask any questions. Because they feel like they know him, but... Do they really?

And I can just imagine that the longer Sam and Bucky work and live together the more Bucky sees how other people misjudge his partner... all the damn time. (Just as he himself used to do.) They just assume Sam will let them do anything they want and he doesn’t. Or they assume they can give him orders and he’s like: “Subtle? Got it!” - and does whatever he planned, following only his own rules.

It must be pretty amusing to watch. And it probably feels like some kind of honour to actually get a chance to know the real Sam Wilson.

Hello! I believe I can answer this question (more or less). The Architect verse is a fictional collaborative setting revolving around an entity known as the Architect. The setting involves multiple universes that were all created by the Architect and every webseries usually takes place in its own universe. It was originally just a spinoff of the Fear mythos (which is already a spinoff of the Slender mythos) but it eventually separated off into its own thing after creative differences arose between the creators of the differing mythoi.

The Architect verse's creation is credited to Owen Parker, Gabe Gazic, and Tom Scott but it mainly got its start with crossovers between three different horror webseries. The North Woods Project/AlexHenderson100 (created by Owen Parker and Jeffrey Taylor), Sirensinthenight (created by Izzie Drizzle), and ~Jeff Woods~ (created by Gabe Gazic).

TNWP/AH100 originally revolved around the Fears from the Fear mythos (in particular The Archangel), ~Jeff Woods~ was a loose video adaptation of the 2011 Jeff the Killer story (with some additions such as Slender Man and Jane the Killer), and Sirensinthenight had a completely original cast of characters and story to my understanding. While the three had minor crossovers here and there, it wouldn't be until the video "The Architect" was published on all three channels that the Architect verse was fully realized. The video was a sort of Avengers: Infinity War type crossover, where the main protagonists from each series banded together to defeat the Architect, a god-like being who created the universe. After the Architect is temporarily defeated, Sirensinthenight and ~Jeff Woods~ basically went back to the usual, while TMWP/AH100 started shifting away from being Fear mythos and started being solely about The Architect and his worshipers. There were other series that crossed over with them, but these channels could be considered "The Big Three" of the Architect Verse and are pivotal to understand the entire thing.

Unfortunately nowadays basically every architect verse series has been deleted off of YouTube and can only be watched on the Web Archive. I think it has something to do with drama among the creators but I don't have enough information to conclusively say anything on this subject. The only one that's left is ~Jeff Woods~ which was rebooted a couple months ago that, while no longer being Architect verse related, is actually pretty good. Despite the low quality of the entire franchise, it is kind of sad to see it gone, it had a type of charm that I can't really describe.

Right now there's not really a good way to experience the series, the aforementioned Infinity War type crossover would spoil the death of a major character from one or two series depending on which series you watch first and watching them as the videos came out is impossible due to them being deleted. That being said, if you intend to check any of the web series out, I suggest starting with TNWP/AH100 as it explains and sets up the Architect better than any of the other series. The Web Archive videos are usually hard to find, so here's a link to the Architect verse category.

Also the Architect verse is technically a part of the slender verse; the Architect verse crossed over with The Mayhem Theory, which is connected in some way with acryfromwinter, which crossed over with Stan Frederick of Slenderverse fame. I think that's neat.

what the fuck is architectverse and why it's related to slenderverse and creepypasta at the same time

the way we were / the way we are - masterlist

you met Bucky between the bookshelves. he stole your heart beneath starry skies. it was a match made in heaven, but fate had other plans.

(Bucky Barnes x reader fic; this story follows the general timeline of the MCU - with some obvious differences. I'm horrible at writing summaries, but essentially this encompasses all the versions of Bucky we all know from the movies and show: the all-American military man, The Winter Soldier, the semi-stable 100-year-old man, the White Wolf, and beyond. Reader becomes a variation of the super-soldier)

A/N: this fic is posted in full (incomplete right now) on ao3! link is here! I haven’t worked on it in a while but I am determined to finish it eventually. it was the first fic I ever posted online and what got me back into fanfiction and eventually lead me back to tumblr lol so be gentle! this is a fix-it fic (of sorts - I didn’t change everything)

warnings/notices: smut, fluff, falling in love, some chapters deal with Bucky’s PTSD/mental illness after being the Winter Soldier. all violence depicted is canon-typical for the most part, chapters will have warnings but if you can handle the MCU, you should be okay here!

there is use of y/n - it was all the rage when I started writing this LOL I might phase it out in future chapters but it’s sticking for the time being (if that’s not your jam, all my other fics/oneshots do NOT use y/n so check those out if you like!)

chapter titles are song lyrics - the updated spotify playlist is here.

*chapters w/ smut are marked w/ a “*”!!

chapters (chronologically by movie):

the first avenger:

1 - the first time ever I saw your face

2 - take this heart of gold and melt it down*

3 - I got soul but I’m not a soldier

4 - if I should go before you

5 - tell me where your heart is

6 - is there somebody who can watch you

7 - when you hear my voice, when you say my name*

8 - these days are numbered

the avengers:

9 - this world is not my home

the winter soldier:

10 - back in my body

11 - how many times can I break till I shatter

12 - what am I here for

age of ultron:

13 - when the night is over

14 - nothing left for you

civil war:

15 - way down we go

16 - judgement day*

17 - you can never break the chain

18 - nobody teaches you to hurt like this

19 - sad, beautiful, tragic

20 - whatever helps you sleep at night

infinity war:

21 - I could use somebody

22 - when it feels like this

23 - make this go on forever

24 - if we had five more minutes

25 - do you want to die together?

endgame:

26 - but I’m forever missing him (and you caused it)

27 - are you really gonna love me when I’m gone?

28 - okay, fine, maybe I’m just a little nostalgic

29 - every night I’m dancing with your ghost

30 - taking care of soulfight

31 - soldier, poet, king

32 - home is wherever I’m with you

33 - you’re the one who breaks my heart right

the falcon and the winter soldier:

34 - I think I’ve seen this film before and I didn’t like the ending

35 - give me a minute to hold my girl

36 - it’s not easy to be me

37 - I try to be happy but it’s hard sometimes

38 - it wasn’t easy to be happy for you

39 - try not to abuse your power

40 - let’s fall in love for the night

41 - need the sun to break

42 - not ready to make nice

43 - too much is never enough

44 - the man who can’t be moved

45 - nothing fucks with my baby

46 - I was far too scared to hit him…

47 - …but I would hit him in a heartbeat now

48 - that funny feeling

49 - easy on me

@crisis-response-specialist tagged me in a "Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love ♥️"

so here goes:

"Nothing Burns like the Cold" is my absolute favorite fic that I've ever written. It's only about 45k long, but the journey of figuring out all the historical things for a fic which had a setting of "Hawkeye goes to Greeland with the Sirius Patrol to find Captain America" was such an incredible one. I love this fic so much too because the friendship between Steve Rogers and Clint Barton got really cemented in my head here. It's just such a wonderful, down to earth, fic and I wish I could make an actual comic book based on it because the illustrations of Greenland in my mind... *chef's kiss*

"Swallow Your Soul" is my second favourite fic I've written, and it's also the longest thing I've ever spit out, bonging out at 114k. I still have no idea how the hell that monster of a fic became so big as it was, I only remember thinking that I needed to write something set between Age of Ultron and Civil War with Ronin as a focus. One of my favorite characters in this story is actually Buck Chisholm, whom I pictured in the likeness of Woody Harrelson as I was writing, and Barney, of course.

"Five Times Clint Barton Spoke with Steve Rogers about Growing Old and the One Time He Didn't" is my third favourite thing I've ever written, and it's one of those short 6k fics I've written punctually. The reason why this fic means so damn much to me is because older Steve Rogers in the story is based so much on my own grandfather. I loved that man so very much, and his life was so full of anecdotes and experience, and I wrote this fic in May of 2019. My grandfather passed at the age of 93 in August of 2019, and even though I miss him every single day, whenever I read this fic again, I am reminded of how kind he was and how I apparently managed to transform some of my fondest memories of my grandfather into old man Steve Rogers.

"'til the skies bleed ashes" is my 2019 NaNoWriMo, which came out at a grand total of 84k words. It's what I imagined would have canonically happened after Infinity War, before Endgame came out and surprised all of it. I remember the kicker being "what if Clint became Director of SHIELD after Fury got dusted?" and then sprinkling some Ronin on top of that, and trying to make things work out. One of my absolute favourite scenes I've ever written is from this fic, and it's the one where Thor is given the heart-shaped herb from Ramonda and T'Challa and goes to his home in Bilskirnir and sees his family together before being brought back to the battlefield atop Sleipnir, flanked by Valkyrie on her Pegasus, Hela on Fenris and Carol Danvers glowing in the sky. Sending the personification of death from the MCU after Thanos made the most sense to me, since that's what he went after in the comics.

"a mausoleum fit for me" is my only non-Marvel fic on this list, but it is my second longest fic ever, at 104k. I remember watching The Old Guard in 2020 and being absolutely mesmerized by this sad, depressed French immortal, and thinking "I have to dissect how he came to be" and originally, the story was going to follow him throughout his life. Eventually, I decided to make a cut by (spoiler alert) Booker's first death in Russia and then continue the rest of the story post-immortality in another fic, which is how this monster of a fic happened. I had my entire living room plastered with post-its and dates and events and someone once told me that "they learned more about the French Revolution through this fic than they did at school" and that's about the greatest compliment anyone could ever give me.

I'm going to send some asks around, but if you feel like self-reccing based on this, consider yourselves tagged <3

Now that I have seen vol 3 I quite enjoyed it. Gamora's ending was optimistic and for that I'm grateful. I do think it has the problem of being so heavily influenced by what happened in Infinity War and that bothers me because it singles Gamora out as the one character who never fully gets to be out from under her abusers influence or past. I'm also a little sad that she didn't get to have a better relationship with the guardians. If this trilogy hadn't been all about the importance of all the characters getting to be a family I would care less. But it is all about the characters being a family and even if they don't all stay in one place they will always have that history and bond. I still need to think over aspects of the movie but while it was good Gamora's arc isn't settling as well for me as the other character arcs.

Spoilers

Yeahhh,,, you’re not wrong, and it bothers me too. I do my best to be hopeful for her but it fucking stings. I really don’t know how I’m expected to just be happy despite knowing that Thanos just got to do that to her and that’s just the end for that Gamora. Seems so fucked up and I wish the movie had taken even a moment to acknowledge that. Like sure they talk about how hard it’s been for quill, but that’s it. Feels like they had an opportunity to draw some parallels with Rocket and Gamora (and Nebula) about their abusers since Rocket’s abuser was front and center here but they didn’t really do anything like that. The closest thing we get really is [MASSIVE SPOILERS] everyone getting to fuck up Rocket’s abuser together as a team, and Gamora being the one to stab him and take off his mask. Ofc I don’t wanna take away any importance from Rocket’s story, but given how Gamora was literally killed by her abuser, I just feel like that fact at least deserved a footnote in a movie like this.

As for the fact that she didn’t get to have a super great relationship with any of them, yeah :( it makes me sad too. Even seeing the movie a second time, I couldn’t really watch the end without crying. I’m happy she and Peter see eye to eye and I’m glad she can understand Groot but I know what she lost, and while she seems very happy with what she has, it still hurts. I wish there could have been a way for her to find her way back to them but I’ll try to respect her decision to disengage

So this is the ask I was talking about I just think it’s a sweet idea

🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

Everyone Gets Overwhelmed- Chris Evans xreader fan fic request

Summary: Chris was working on infinity War with reader and their co worker Elizabeth and reader doesn’t have the greatest home life and during filming and in between Chris and Elizabeth help take care of reader

Warnings: angst, mentions of rough home life, mentions of anxiety and overthinking and feeling small, fluff, mentions of feeling overwhelmed, soft Chris, let me know if I missed anything

———Chris’s POV——-

We started filming Avengers Infinity War a few weeks ago and I noticed Y/N has been having a hard time recently and she confided in me sometimes mentioning about things at home so I helped make sure she rested in between filming fight scenes.

Y/N just finished her scene with Elizabeth Olsen and she came to sit by me and I said “hey hun how are ya feeling?” Y/N gave me a small smile and said “hey Chris, I’m ok just tired but the scenes are going really well so far.” Y/N would ask for hugs sometimes but today she didn’t and I didn’t wanna overwhelm her with everything else going on.

Lizzie came over and said “hey Chris, Y/N you ready for the next section?” Y/N nodded and said “yep let’s go, see you in a bit Chris.” I waved to her and worried something else was going on and I know she’s not my kid but I care about her a lot. After Y/N and Lizzie finished with the others it was time for my scenes and I walked over to Lizzie and said “hey could you do me a favor and keep an eye on Y/N for me until I’m done filming? I don’t want her to be alone..” Lizzie smiled at me and said “of course Evans no problem she’s in good hands.”

———Y/N’s POV——

I took a break after shooting my scenes and I was hungry but didn’t wanna eat and I loved being around the marvel crew they always made sure I was ok or always included me in everything outside of filming it gave me a reprieve from my life outside of it. I wanted to talk to Chris about how I felt but I didn’t wanna burden him but I know he cares and he’s so gentle I love that about him.

Chris came over to me still dressed as nomad Steve and I gotta say I loved that look on him. Chris knelt down by me and put his hand on my knee and said “hey you, you ok? Have you eaten??” I said “hey Chris I’m ok just a lot on my mind and no I don’t feel like eating right now.” Chris gave me a sad smile with a nod and said “ok here I have a deal for you, if you eat a bit of something for me we can go watch a movie for a bit to wind down after I get out of my Steve wardrobe deal?” I smiled and shyly said “ok yea deal, I’ll wait here for you.”

A few minutes later Chris came out and saw me on my phone and held out his hand and smiled at me and said “ready to go eat Y/N?” I looked at his hand and had a flashback and a tear roll down my face and Chris got worried about me and knelt down close to me and said “hey hey doll what’s wrong talk to me?” I started feeling small and I said “no.. it’s nothing sorry just overwhelmed.” Chris hugged me and helped me sit on his lap and said “aww that’s ok sweetheart everyone has those moments but hey I promise you, you’re safe bub I got you now this is a safe place ok? when was the last time you slept?” I moved hair away from my face to look at Chris and I shrugged my shoulders and I said “hmm I don’t know maybe.. a few nights ago but I feel a bit light headed and my stomach is upset..”

Chris grabbed my water bottle and handed it to me and softly smiled at me said “drink up Y/N you need it.” I took the water from him and took a few sips and I smiled after feeling how cold it was and started to relax. I looked at Chris and said “thank you for taking care of me Chris, I’m sorry you had to see me this way.” Chris shook his head and said “no sweet girl you have nothing to apologize for, we all have these days even me too and I’m glad you trust me to help ya, can we go and eat something? I promise you don’t have eat a lot just at least something.” I smiled at him and said “yea let’s go, I’ll eat a bit.”

Lizzie saw Chris walking with me and she saw the state I was in and rushed over and said “hey sweetie are you ok? Did something happen??” Chris said “she’s just a bit overwhelmed but she’s ok.” I hugged Lizzie and said “I’m ok thanks Lizzie just need to eat.” She said “ok Y/N but let me know if you need anything ok?” I nodded and Chris had us stop at the sandwich place near set and we both had a sandwich and Chris smiled at me watching me eat and said “I’m proud of you bub, you feeling any better?” I said “a bit yea.” Chris said “how about I stay with you tonight and help take care of you so you are alone would you like that?” I smiled and hugged Chris and said “yes thank you so much.”

———-time skip——-

We got to my trailer and Chris saw me fall asleep on the couch by him and noticed I was fighting it but said “you’re safe Y/N you need sleep close your eyes I’m here I’m not going anywhere I promise.”

For the first time in a while I didn’t feel overwhelmed and I was very grateful to Chris & the others for looking after me and being there for me I never felt alone again.

Here ya go luv hope you like it 😊💙💙xx I did my best
