#no one said brie you’re fake cause you never talk to anyone

[leejihoonownsmyheart]

My mutuals as my favorite OTV and friends streamers:

@rubyreduji: sykkuno… this is a coincidence because you are both gemini…. I LOVE SYKKUNO BECAUSE HE IS SO UNAFRAID TO BE HIMSELF ON STREAM he may be shy but he just feels so authentic to me. You’re both so authentic and you want to engage with others in your own specific personal ways. One of my favorite things about sykk is how he has these little jokes that would mean nothing outside of a watchful eye like his gag where we will purposely pronounce words wrong just to see how people would react AND you and sykkuno are also similiar in the way that you hardly ever take a BREAK sykkuno streams like every day a week, and JJ pops out fanfics like crazy. You two…. Uncanny similarities… ALSO i have a weird familiarity with both of you. Even when we’re not talking everyday i’m just like… JJ… my little bro </3 and i talk about sykkuno too like we’ve been friends for years. Sigh.

@toruro : this is a coincidence but not really one but Valkyrae. The coincidence being that you both are in fact capricorns. HERE ME OUT ON THIS ONE. Valkyrae is so great but you two’s biggest thing is that you DO NOT fuck with chat. Rae will stop her stream to lecture her chat on if something that said was appropriate or not, and you Mika you never put up with any shit from any anons coming on your blog. You take a stance, you hold true to your rules. And yet also you two are just huge energy balls. Don’t quote me but I’m pretty sure that rae went through a bitting phase. Rae is really good at network socializing. She’s the one in the roomies who is always having people over. Mika i see you on caratumblr being that. You are such a big hub for other big blogs. Which is crazy… you and rae are so iconic. ALSO you’re both super pretty- don’t look at me like that.

JJ and Mika partially got sykkuno and valkyrae because name me a more iconic streamer friendship… that’s right you literally can’t. The best era of syk and rae was their friendship/living in the same house era. ALWAYS playing games together, and even when they weren’t they were peaking into each other’s rooms. I will never forget the stream where rae screamed on stream in her room and sykkuno WENT AND CHECKED ON HER that shit was so fucking cute. Looking for the best among us games? Any where sykkuno and rae are imposters in proximity? Iconic and you can’t tell me that JJ and Mika do not give this kind of energy off. JJ and Mika, and Sykkuno and Vallyrae are the dream team. Babushka…

@hoeforcheol : Kkatamina. I love miyoung streams cause she’s very… chill. I never used to watch her but then when Fuslie, Rae, and her were supposed to do the 48 hour stream she was the only one who REALLY did it and i ended up watching it in almost its entirety live and fell in love with her. Miyoung gives me the quietest of the roomies vibes and even in like the irl streams i see her do she just heavily gravitates towards what she knows while also being under the eye of all her friends. I just. She’s very mom friend for the others, along with easy going friend who will go on a random adventure with you if you want to, and also just wants to stay home all day and spend quality time while playing video games. That just gives me Salem vibes. Mom friend, down to do whatever all the time… i love you salem <3

@multiland : Mr. DisguisedToast himself. When I think of you… I don’t know I just remember our very chill conversations and the ideas you always had. You always have such good ideas for fics and you are so easy to talk to. Toast is like that you know? Easy to talk to. Good friend. Funny. Full of ideas.

@kaespas : Fuslie. I live breath die leslie because why is she the most interesting person alive? Fuslie stories remind me of you just because you are so interesting. You both have such a interesting way of talking in general. Leslie tells a story and it’s all over the place but you are so enthralled either way. My favorite leslie story that makes me think of you is the one where at coachella she loses her phone and so she has to go get a new one. I don’t remember who she was with but they let her borrow their car to take it there and see, Leslie drives a tesla, right? Basically when she gets to the store leslie just GETS OUT of a moving vehicle, only for her to later realize that she really she had just misplaced her phone in her bag. Leslie is beautiful and sweet and so effortlessly funny. A perfect storyteller. An enthusiastic friend. Her reactions to joking accusations are always so big and dramatized too.. she’s so iconic fr. It just gives me very big kaespas vibes

@itsbeeble : Lilypichu, little bit of convincing but hear me out. Lily is very quiet but when she’s talking to stream she is so fun and talkative. She is literally so funny too, and (personal opinion) the most creative of the bunch. Your stories are so creative, and you just…. Give me dreamy night vibes okay? Do i know you well enough to really say that? Probably not BUT I DID ANYWAY OKAY.

@veethefreeelf : FOOLISH. Because no. Because foolish vee. I “met” foolish for the first time during miyoung’s 48 hour stream and he just like…. Did it for fun and everytime i heard his voice in those 48 hours it was like i was filled with energy. He’s funny, he’s nice, absolute life of the party. Whenever it’s like 2am and I’m about to sleep and i get a message from you? Guaranteed up for another hour. Immediate energy recharge. I don’t watch Foolish on my own but every single time I see that he is playing with one of my usuals I get excited because like COME ON it’s FOOLISH Vee you are so funny and so fun to talk to and the perfect support just like foolish AND THATS WHY I THINK YOU’RE HIM

@/lovelyhan : poki. i know we aren’t mutuals and i ran scared once cause mika can see my every move BUT regardless. You both give me the vibes of someone who gets along with everyone and is just… poki gives me friends with chat more than others vibes. Like everyone wants to be friends with poki but only select few people get to…. Poki is so cool… and she just does things and i’m like holy shit??? She can do that. I feel i can’t explain this well but kai they… they just give me those vibes. Like amazing and untouchable but really down to earth and friendly. And so nice, Poki is literally such a nice and honest person.

Summary: It’s you and Bucky’s one year anniversary, and Bucky has some doubts about your feelings. Based on the song Happiness is a Butterfly by Lana Del Rey.

Author’s Note: I didn’t have time to edit this because I wanted to get it out to you guys, so sorry if there are any errors.

Do you want me, or do you not?

I heard one thing, now I'm hearing another

Today was the day. You and Bucky had officially been dating for a year. One year of happiness, despite many setbacks. You're not going to lie, Bucky's line of work scared the hell out of you. You were afraid of the Winter Soldier, but then you realized he wasn't the Winter Soldier. He was Bucky Barnes. 

Bucky was afraid of this relationship. Afraid of the weight it held in his life. He never said it out loud, only in his eyes. When he said he loved you there was fear written across his features. Not because he didn't mean it, but for fear that you wouldn't say it back.

At one point you thought that Bucky didn't want to be in a relationship with you, that he just wanted to love you. But then you came back to your senses and realized one very important thing: that just because something was hard for a person it didn't mean they didn't want it. 

Happiness is a butterfly

Try to catch it like every night

You were in your Volkswagen beetle, singing loudly to a song from the 30s with Bucky next to you. One hand on the steering wheel, the other outside the window. You belted out another verse as you look across to see Bucky singing his heart out, which causes you to burst out into a fit of giggles.

"What?" He asks, hearing the noise and turning around to face you. 

"Nothing, you were just singing loudly." You say through another chuckle. Bucky leans and presses a kiss to your temple, and you wondered why you had ever doubted that he wanted to be in this relationship.

You were driving to a field, in the middle of nowhere. It was pretty funny, you were driving past hundreds of fields, all to get to one field. Trespassing laws are messing with your head. 

It took another 15 minutes to reach your destination, and once you did... Well, it was less than you imagined. There was trash all over the ground, and it smelled of urine and alcohol. Your best guess was that some teenagers threw a party, as there was a long since abandoned grey truck with a keg shoved behind the steering wheel.

"Fuck." You mutter under your breath, kicking an empty beer bottle with your footing. After you kicked it, your realize you stubbed your toe, and let out another "fuck."

"You okay doll?" Bucky asks, walking over to you.

"This place is literal garbage." Bucky walks over to you, setting down the picnic basket and engulfing you in his large frame. 

"It might not be all garbage. It's probably not all garbage..." He looks over his shoulder, squinting to see something. "Half a mile."

Bucky entwines his hand in yours and begins to walk towards the direction he pointed. The sun was beating down, so you pulled out a sun-hat from the bag you were carrying that was full of blankets.

"Do you have one of those for me?" Bucky asks with a chuckle. You take off the hat and plop it onto Bucky's head.

I just wanna dance with you

Another ten or so minutes of walking left you in the middle of a field, no garbage in sight, sitting by a tree. Bucky set down the basket and reached his hands above his head, letting his back crack. You set down your bag and pull out the blankets, laying them down under the shade of the tree. 

"This is a nice spot, don't you think?" Bucky asks as he looks up into the sun.

"Yeah, not as good as the keg truck, but still pretty nice."

Bucky laughs and sets the basket down on the ground. He gently tackles, carefully making sure you land softly on the blanket, and that he doesn't put his full weight on your body. "You're amazing." He says as he presses a kiss to your nose.

"And your okay." You exclaim as you kiss his forehead. Bucky has a confused and hurt look on his face when he sits up. "I'm just kidding." You sit up to face Bucky. "You are the best person I've ever met." You through your arms around his neck and press a sloppy kiss onto Bucky's lips.

Bucky leans towards you, putting a hand on the ground behind you to stabilize the two of you. He deepens the kiss and slips his tongue into your mouth. You giggle and return the favor. You make out for another minute or two before pulling away uttering the words: "I'm hungry."

You sit up and Bucky opens the basket, handing you a sandwich. You take it out of the plastic bag and sink your teeth into it, wondering how a simple grilled cheese could be this delicious. "Mm, this is good." 

"Is it?" He asks, biting into the sandwich. "It is!" 

"Now aren't you happy I made them with brie?" You respond through a mouthful. 

"Definitely." You shift your weight onto your left hand as you lean back. You look back over to Bucky, seeing him with his legs in front of him hunched over his lunch.

Rays of sun were filtering their way through the branches of the trees, casting a glowing light onto Bucky. When you thought that everything was perfect, Bucky starts staring into the distance, a detached gaze in his eyes.

Looking into his eyes, I think he's already hurt

He's already hurt

"You okay baby?" You ask, placing your hand on his jawbone.

Bucky's head quickly snapped up to face you, and a smile promptly returned to his face. "Yeah, I'm fine."

You put on a fake smile and try to pretend that you're not concerned. Even though you are. You always are.

The sun dipped lower into the sky, the time went from twelve to one, to two, and then eventually to four. You were laying on you back, one hand in Buckys and the other on attempting to block your eyes from the sun's rays, which were carefully weaving themselves through the branches of the trees to hit your face.

"It's a really pretty day." Bucky rolls over to face you and you do the same.

"Not as pretty as you." He says as he leans in and kisses your nose. You giggle and put your hand on Bucky's cheek, as he grins.

"You kind of checked out a bit earlier is everything okay." Your tone sounds nonchalant, but Bucky can see the worry in your eyes.

"I don't want to talk about it." Bucky pulls away from your grasp and sits up, staring dead straight in front of him and avoiding your gaze.

"Well, I do." You say, sitting up as well to be eye-level with him. "And I think we should."

Bucky's body language shows that he doesn't want to talk. His back hunches and he hangs his head down, something he always does when he's uncomfortable. It almost makes you cry every time you see it because it conveys that Bucky is ashamed of something, even though he's done nothing wrong.

"You didn't do anything bad, I'm just concerned about you." You move your hand to Bucky's back, rubbing it gently. Your breath catches in your throat when he flinches upon your touch. "You don't have to talk about it, but I think it would help."

You pause, hoping to hear some kind of sign that he's okay, but none come. "I just want to help." Bucky turns towards you, and you see a look of turmoil on his face. "Because I love you." 

Bucky's eyes look down, trying to avoid your gaze. "You do know I love you..." You pause your brow furrowing from the fear of an answer to the question you are about to ask. "Right?"

I just wanna hold you tight down the avenue

I just wanna dance with you

Bucky doesn't say anything and just continues to avoid your gaze. "I love you so much. I don't help you when you have a nightmare, or stick with you even when you go on missions that last weeks because I feel obligated. I do that because I love you."

Bucky looks like he's holding back tears, he purses his lips and has a wild and anxious look in his eyes. "I want to believe you. I do I- I just can't trust anyone, I wish I could doll. God, you have no idea how much I wish I could." 

You lean in and press a kiss to his head, trying to do anything to make him believe you. A tear trickles down your face, hitting Bucky's hair and making him flinch when it reached his skin. "I don't know what I could do to convince you. Please tell me, honey, please."

"I don't know," Bucky says, a single tear trickling down his face as he does so. "I wish I knew."

You pull away and start walking in the opposite direction. "Wh- where are you going?" Bucky asks, bolting to his feet as he walks towards you.

You quicken your pace and quickly wipe away some tears using the back of your hand. You can't deal with it. How could the love of your life not know you love him? How could he do that to you?

"Doll, wait!" Bucky exclaims as he starts to catch up to you.

You start running, it's not the direction you came from, and you have no idea where it leads. Bucky runs after you, and you keep on going faster until your full-on sprinting. 

Bucky catches up to you (damn that super-soldier endurance) and catches your wrist, trying to pull you back towards him. "Don't you fucking touch me!"

Bucky pulls away, shock and fear spread across his face. Your mouth moves to form an apology, and then you realize that you shouldn't give him one. "I love you. How do you not know that? How can you not trust me?" You exclaim through your wretched sobs.

"It's not my fault doll," Bucky says, trying to place the blame on anyone besides himself- and he was right.

"I know, it's just-" You pause and take in a deep breath. "It just hurts to know that the person who you love more than anything doesn't think you do.

"This past year has been the best of my entire life. And hearing you say that you don't think it's real hurts me Bucky. I said I love your first. If you said it first I would understand you being skeptical, but I said it. I love you, James Buchanan Barnes. And dear god I hope you know that.

"And if you don't then I'll of wasted a year of my life on nothing." You pause, letting more tears slide past your cheeks. Bucky is standing in silence, a look of shame on his face. "If you asked me to marry you I would, if broke up with me I'd protest. I'm not with you for any other reason other than I love you."

Baby, I just wanna dance 

With you 

Bucky looks like he's about to speak, but you cut him off. "And I know you can't control who you trust, but can you at least try?" You pause, a daunting realization floating to the surface of your brain. "Do- do you not love me? Is that what this is about?"

Bucky takes your hands in his and then begins to speak. "I love you, I love you so much. I'm just afraid that you'll leave me, like- like Steve did."

"I'm never going to leave you." You're breathing heavily. "Can I tell you something I didn't tell you before?"

A look of fear dawns in Bucky's eyes. "When I first saw you, you were tearing a man out of a car, and you shot him between the eyes." Bucky pulls his hands away, whispering no to himself a thousand times.

"When I met you again I had no idea who you were," You pause, pursing your lips as you cried. "And when you told me I was terrified. I was terrified of the Winter Soldier." You take a deep breath and shakily look up to face Bucky. 

"But you aren't the Winter Soldier. I didn't fall in love with the man I saw killing someone, I fell in love with you." You step towards Bucky and you grabbed one of his hands in both of yours. "Even then I still was apprehensive. I couldn't get the image of- of the Winter Soldier shooting someone in the head."

You pause to take a long and shaky breath, looking up to see Bucky's panic-filled eyes filled to the brim with tears. "I couldn't walk away though. I loved you too much, and there is no one I'd rather spend time with. If that's not reason enough to make you believe I love you, then nothing is."

If he's as bad as they say, then I guess I'm cursed

Looking into his eyes, I think he's already hurt

Bucky wraps his arms around you and lets tears spill out onto your shoulder. "I'm sorry doll, I'm so sorry." You lean your head against the side of his and let your tears overwhelm you. "I believe you. I believe you."

You smile and laugh slightly, so happy that Bucky can open his heart and trust you. 

"I'm looking forward to spending forever with you, my love." Bucky leans towards you and kisses your lips passionately.

You smile against the kiss, and Bucky does the same. His tongue sneaks inside your mouth, and your tongues battle for dominance- a fight that Bucky quickly wins.

You feel his arms wrap around your hips, and suddenly he's picking you up. You wrap your legs around his torso, trusting him completely. One hand is wrapped around your waist, and the other at the top at the section where your back meets your neck.

You put both hands behind his head and lean in closer to deepen the kiss. You stand with Bucky for at least five minutes, the only thing on each of your minds in loving each other.

Every day is a lullaby

Try to catch it like lightning

"Baby." You breathlessly exclaim as you pull away from Bucky.

"What is it doll?" He says as he moves onto kissing your neck.

"I think we should head back." You say, realizing how late it's getting and how you definitely shouldn't stay out here much longer. 

Bucky glances down at his watch and promptly says: "Oh fuck, we should definitely head back."

You and Bucky walk hand in hand for the first half of the trip back, then Bucky eventually picks you up and starts to carry you on his back. You were kind of shocked by how far you'd gone in you're desperate attempt to flee from Bucky. At least three-quarters of a mile, if not more.

As Bucky shifts from one foot to the other as he walks (even though it's not as much as you'd think, years of training had left him with a very even walk), you have a conversation. You're hands rest in Bucky's long hair, twisting and curling every strand. 

"I'm sorry I didn't believe you. But I do know. I hope you know that."

You twist one of your fingers around another one of Bucky's locks. "It's okay, we're all good now baby. I'm glad that we have all of those secrets behind us now."

"So... We're going to have a very lengthy conversation about it when we get home?" Bucky asks, chuckling lightly as he does so.

"Oh yeah, definitely." You exclaim in a similar tone. 

The two of you continue in silence, comfortable with each other's companionship. 

While you're looking ahead of you, you see a tree in the distance. "Babe, I think I see our picnic spot."

Buck squints to see where you're looking. "Yeah, I see it; you sure did run a long way." He exclaims, chuckling slightly at how far you ran.

"I'm pretty fast." He shimmies you off of his back, much to your shock. "Bucky!"

"Let's see who's faster!" Bucky exclaims as he starts sprinting.

You giggle as you take off after him, and it becomes vividly clear that he is much, much faster than you.

Bucky keeps on running until he is almost to your picnic spot and then comes to a screeching halt. He's more than 10 yards ahead of you, and you can't see what he's looking at.

I just wanna hold you tight down the avenue

I just wanna dance with you

You look in front of Bucky when you catch up to him, and see the glorious sight to behold. 

There were butterflies. Everywhere. At least three hundred butterflies were flying everywhere you could see. They were in the tree, on the ground, in your basket, everywhere.

"Oh my god, Bucky. Are you seeing this?" You say as you walk up to him and take your hand in his. 

He squeezes your hand and responds with: "Yeah, yeah I'm seeing this."

You turn to face him and watch as several tears leak out of his eyes. At first, you're concerned, but your face quickly softens when you realize that they're happy tears.

Bucky turns to you and wraps his arm around your waist and you put yours over his shoulder. "I love you." He whispers, pressing a kiss to your head.

"I love you too." 

You put out your hand in hopes that a butterfly will land on it. One does. You slowly move your hand towards Bucky's face, putting the finger with the butterfly on it on his nose. Just as you expected, the butterfly moves from your finger onto Bucky.

Bucky smiles as the butterfly rests on his nose, and you can tell that Bucky is going to be alright. Because Bucky can finally be happy.

Baby, I just wanna dance

With you

With you

They really don't say anything to Scarlett Johansson. She may be the star of "Black Widow", but that doesn't mean that she has any idea when the movie trailer will be released. You may remember that we had a first surprise glimpse of "Black Widow" earlier this week. And when we say early, we mean early. Tuesday, our story was published just before 2 a.m. The trailer fell late Monday without fanfare or advance warning, and Johansson told Stephen Colbert Thursday evening that even she didn't know it was going to happen. "I woke up and received a text from Chris Evans saying," The trailer is superb. "I don't know what he was doing at 5 a.m. It's another story. Yeah, getting up, of course," she said, responding to Colbert's joke. haven't said it! They hide everything from me. " Also read: 'Black Widow': Natasha Romanoff has a family reunion and kicks ass in the first trailer for Marvel Prequel (Video) Johansson was on "The Late Show" to promote "Marriage Story", which she performed with Adam Driver, aka Kylo Ren from the "Star Wars" trilogy. So Colbert asked if she had any idea who would win a fight between Kylo and Natasha. She didn't have a lot of response, nor about the details she was allowed to say about "Black Widow", other than the fact that it was between "Captain America: Civil War" and "Avengers: Infinity War ". Johansson says the film is a "homecoming" in which Natasha must now face some of her guilt over the things she did before becoming revenge. However, fans wondered why a solo film, Black Widow is not an origin story that goes back to its training beginnings in Russia, and she explained why this story was better. "I could never have made this film 10 years ago when we had just started our journey with Marvel. It’s a film that speaks so much… the character informed this film. My trip with Natasha informed this film. She’s a character who’s a fully recognized woman. It has a complexity that it is delicious, "said Johansson. "Not to say it would have been something else or totally entertaining in 10 years, but we can do things that are good." Also read: Review of the film 'Marriage Story': Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver split up in the devastating drama of Noah Baumbach Colbert also had another theory to direct by her: that it was Johansson's last go-around as "Black Widow". Here is why: it is his eighth appearance because the character and the spiders have eight legs. Can't it be a coincidence? Of course, Stephen. Check out Johansson's appearance on CBS "The Late Show" above. All 23 Marvel Cinematic Universe movies ranked, from worst to best (Photos) No one on the Internet wants to talk about the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but it's something we simply can't continue to ignore. But seriously: even if this seemingly unstoppable franchise has rabid fans around the world, nobody can agree on those they prefer (or at least, for that matter). TheWrap film editor-in-chief Alonso Duralde gets into the subject - and no, he's not paid by anyone at Disney to love (or hate, for that matter) any of these films. wonder 23. "The Incredible Hulk" (2008) Released just five years after Ang Lee's "Hulk", this second attempt to make a man a leader in the great green creature radiated by Gamma proved just as disappointing. If we've learned anything from the Avengers movies, it's that Bruce Banner works best when he's a supporting character (and when he's played by Mark Ruffalo). wonder 22. "Ant-Man" (2015) Although this film deserves to be rewarded for not having put the fate of humanity at stake - the stakes are more than the size of a child's train - the stabs to the humor of the film seem to be overestimated , and little natural charm from Paul Rudd comes to the fore in what should be a breezy caper. We can only wonder what the original version of Edgar Wright might have looked like. Disney / Marvel 21. "Thor" (2011) Director Kenneth Branagh tackles the the-and-thou of Asgard's segments, but the little town where the pinnacle is played out has been one of the most cheesy fake towns on the screen since the terrible movie "Supergirl" in years 80. On the positive side, actor Chris Hemsworth shows a scintillating spirit in this adventure of the god of thunder, coupled with an impressive musculature. wonder 20. "Iron Man 2" (2010) The best MCU movies do a good job of distracting you from all the setup of future franchise entries; this one offers so much empire building that it might as well have a "Pardon Our Dust" sign on it. Still, Scarlett Johansson's first appearance as Black Widow, dispatching opponents down the hall, made an unforgettable impression. Disney / Marvel 19. "Captain America: the first avenger" (2011) Just like he did in "The Rocketeer", director Joe Johnston excels at portraying the brilliance of the 1940s, although the characters are not as vivid as the USO sparrow. But fear not, true believers - the screen adventures of Cap have improved a lot in his later solo and team movies. wonder 18. "Thor: The Dark World" (2013) Firmly average, yes, but an improvement over its predecessor and a good time, skillfully balancing superheroes, second bananas, entertaining villains and the occasional killer one-liner. In no way a cornerstone of the MCU, but this one, mainly, works. Disney / Marvel 17. "Iron Man 3" (2013) Director and co-writer Shane Black doesn't always have the narrowest understanding of history - what is the infamous Extremis still doing, and why? - but he shows his skill in witty jokes (which Robert Downey, Jr. can make within an inch of his life) and breathtaking action (a flight rescue of a dozen passengers who have just fallen from Air Force One). Disney / Marvel 16. "The Avengers: Age of Ultron" (2015) It's always fun when the group comes together, but it's also hard to rediscover the magic of this first time. This sequel offers a lot of excitement and banter scripted by Joss Whedon, but it's also a bit overloaded with characters and support setups for the next MCU movie series. Both fans and enemies of superhero movies can find arguments for their arguments here. Disney / Marvel 15. "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" (2017) The group is back together, and they are as hilarious as when they first came out, but overall, this sequel gives the impression that it is only vamping (entertaining) until the next major change of the intrigue in the MCU. Kurt Russell appears as Ego the Living Planet, who claims to be the long-lost father of Peter Quill / Star-Lord (Chris Pratt), and although the film is more concerned with character and emotion than intrigue , not all the movement the moments ring true. Disney / Marvel 14. Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018) This sequel has a better idea of ​​his own stupidity than his predecessor, as Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) and The Wasp (Evangeline Lilly) flee the Feds, fight the phased-in ghost (Hannah John-Kamen) and thwart plans of a gangster (Walton Goggins), while planning a rescue of the mother of The Wasp (Michelle Pfeiffer) from another dimension. Feels more Disney - in the sense of Kurt-Russell-as-Dexter-Riley - than Marvel, but still fun. Disney / Marvel 13. Captain Marvel (2019) Both the personal development and the retro of the 1990s are played with a fairly heavy hand, but it's a lot of fun to have here, Brie Larson's heroine, both bubbling and haunted - nothing like amnesia to spice up another story of origin - to one of the biggest feline bananas in the history of cinema. 12. "Avengers: Infinity War" (2018) It's a little difficult to judge this one on its own merits, because it is clearly a half-film; we will not really know how this film will materialize until we have the sequel. But in the meantime, he does a pretty impressive job of juggling some 25 major MCU characters and keeping his sense of humor even in the face of mass destruction (and intense scenes involving torture and genocide). Disney / Marvel 11. "Avengers: Endgame" (2019) You get all the T-crossing and I-dotting required at this point in the game, but the capper for the first piece of the MCU saga is a mostly satisfying season finale that offers rare moments of catharsis among moments of entertaining characters. which will cause laughter and maybe even a few tears. Disney / Marvel 10. "Spider-Man: Far From Home" (2019) This second outing from director Jon Watts and leader Tom Holland maintains the lark tone and focus on the characters that make these films feel like such a unique corner of the MCU. This time, the post-snap (or "blip", as the film says) Peter Parker and his friends are heading to Europe in a film that looks like a road comedy that sometimes blows up some superheroes. Disney / Marvel 9. "Thor: Ragnarok" (2017) Director Taika Waititi ("Hunt for the Wilderpeople") strikes a delicate balance between breathless action and the fate of the universe on the one hand and ironic stupidity and catchy jokes on the other. Fortunately, he has Chris Hemsworth, who excels in both, surrounded by spirit like Tom Hiddleston, Mark Ruffalo and franchise beginners Tessa Thompson, Jeff Goldblum and a glorious Cate Blanchett. Disney / Marvel 8. "Captain America: Civil War" (2016) The plot and the pace aren't as tight as in "Winter Soldier", but if you're looking for somber human conflict and exciting superhero-on-superhero action, this movie does a lot of good as "Batman v. Superman : Dawn of Justice "did wrong. Disney / Marvel 7. "Iron Man" (2008) It all starts here - a story of superhero origins for literalists who cannot hide behind explosive planets or radioactive spiders. Jon Favreau, then most famous for directing "Elf" and writing and co-starring in "Swingers", seemed a strange choice for the material, but he knows how to give us the two characters (played by Downey and Gwyneth Paltrow with plume) and ka-blam. wonder 6. "Black Panther" (2018) While the titular African superhero king of Chadwick Boseman takes something from a back seat to a troika of fascinating female characters - played by Lupita Nyong'o, Danai Gurira and Letitia Wright - the film nevertheless overflows with excitement and of a rich history. (And Michael B. Jordan's Killmonger ranks among the franchise's biggest villains.) Disney / Marvel 5. "Spider-Man: Homecoming" (2017) Less motivated by guilt and haunted than previous versions of the character (on the page or screen), Tom Holland's Spider-Man has enough on his plate to manage his superhero growing pains. Hungry to join The Avengers but still struggling with everything he has to learn - he's only 15 years old after all - our hero faces the evil blue collar The Vulture (well Michael Keaton, Birdman) in a funny adventure all by presenting real challenges, formidable characterizations and a wonderfully detailed cast. (You must love a teen movie that works for Zendaya, Tony Revolori, Abraham Attah and Josie Totah, as well as scene-robber newcomer Jacob Batalon.) Sony / Marvel 4. "Doctor Strange" (2016) It would be too easy to ridicule the master of the mystical arts on the big screen, but director Scott Derrickson and his team somehow gave us a version of the surgeon-turned-magician, Dr. Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), who seems at ease in the real world, rubbing shoulders with the Avengers and crossing tripping and dazzling dimensions where no one else could go. 3. "Guardians of the Galaxy" (2014) Pleasant, casual and steeped in the super hits of the 70s, this comic adventure is something of an outlier - both tonal and geographic - in the Marvel universe. Yet whether Rocket Raccoon and Black Widow intersect or not, this saga that covers the stars reminded us that there is more than one way to tell a story about superheroes. Disney / Marvel 2. "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" (2014) Aggressive patriotism meets anti-government paranoia in this fascinating tale that pits the captain against labyrinthine plots. It also turns out that Steve Rogers is much more interesting in time travel in the 2000s than firmly at home in the 1940s. And you will believe that the Falcon can fly. Disney / Marvel 1. "The Avengers" (2012) Still the gold standard of the MCU, this film reveals that Joss Whedon gets comics in their DNA, in the same way that Steven Spielberg and George Lucas were fluent in the language of serials in the "Indiana Jones" movies. Putting all of these heroes in one room (or helicopter, anyway) has produced tremendous results, although the success of the film has led to the all-superhero-all-time ethos of contemporary Hollywood. Disney / Marvel Previous slide Next slide TheWrap reviewer Alonso Duralde orders the MCU, including "Spider-Man: Far From Home" No one on the Internet wants to talk about the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but it's something we simply can't continue to ignore. But seriously: even if this seemingly unstoppable franchise has rabid fans around the world, nobody can agree on those they prefer (or at least, for that matter). TheWrap film editor-in-chief Alonso Duralde gets into the subject - and no, he's not paid by anyone at Disney to love (or hate, for that matter) any of these films. https://oltnews.com/even-scarlett-johansson-didnt-know-black-widow-trailer-was-falling-video-thewrap?_unique_id=5ea1a7409999e

[andersonunleashed]

I usually don’t get too upset watching @wwe but they took me to a level tonight that has my blood boiling. I’m far from the biggest Bella Twins fan as far as wrestling is concerned (I like them better out of the ring) but I hope Nikki rips R*ndas spine out her ass and feeds it to her. Let’s break this bullshit monologue of hers down.

It all started with the “yes chant,” which I mean come on guys WHO ARE YOU CHANTING FOR!?

Then R*nda screws up her face cause she’s obviously constipated and can’t remember her lines.

R*nda: I tried my best to be respectful.

Well your presence alone is disrespectful but continue.

R*nda: Everything that the divas era stood for made me sick to my stomach.

Hold up, wait a minute! You’ve been here two seconds and you think you changed something? Do you think your showing up magically changed things? Every single girl that has stepped foot in that locker room has worked their ass off to get the womens division where it is today’s from Mae Young to Chyna to Lita to the Bellas to Little Miss Bliss and all the women in between. Even Summer Rae and Eva deserve a shot more than you. I would have been less upset if they said Renee Young was going to be the next champion to not see you’d destroy all the moment you stepped into the arena with your shitty appropriated hairstyle and “tough guy” act. (Seriously, can someone please stop making her look like a stitched up football?) The divas era was about women’s empowerment and trying to get to the main stage to be on top and equal to the men. Without the divas division you’d still be nursing your pride at home after the two second KO—oh are we supposed to pretend that didn’t happen?

R*nda: I try my best to give you the benefit of the doubt that you were just doing the best you could with what you had. And so when you guys came running up to me after wrestlemania—-

I’m gonna stop you right there. They don’t need your benefit of anything. They don’t need your approval. They’ve earned their stripes. You’ve broken two arms and injured at least 3 people and still haven’t actually wrestled in less than a year but somehow are the “champion” it’s you who are a disgrace and it is you who people have tried to give the benefit of the doubt. They literally had NO chances. They MADE their opportunities. These women took and still take risks that will get them fired just to get a shot. You’re right tho they are a disgrace after seriously injuring one person in 12 years compared to your 3 in less than 12 months. As far as then running up to you, you should have seen that coming not just because this is fake but the moment you showed up the girls were trashing your overhyped ass showing up and it was not just the Bellas!

R*nda: I thought how cool are these ladies.

I would just like to point out that you’re sad cause you’re a fan girl and they don’t like you IRL or in the ring. And let’s be real nobody likes a transphobic racist so I don’t blame them.

R*nda: I thought we could be like sister soldiers and persue the same goal that we could be driving forces in the woman’s evolution together.

Sorry, but I need to check my notes. Didn’t you just say, “everything that the divas era stood for made me sick to my stomach.” Now call me crazy but if I hate something you stand for I’m not going to team up with you.

Id like to also note that when Nikki runs her tongue along her teeth like that she’s usually heated and trying not to hit below the jugular which tells me she’s not faking being pissed at this point. She has the shorter temper of the two and scripted or not she’s currently being told everything that she’s been fighting for years by someone who doesn’t deserve to be in the building right now.

R*nda: You guys are the embodiment of a stereotype, DNB.

Bitch, now my wig done flew off my head. You’re gonna tell me that two women who have fought from poverty to where they are now do nothing? First of all, let me direct you to Nikki’s Instagram where you can find just how much of “nothing they do.” And don’t forget everything they do they STILL credit the WWE from their clothing line to their wine collection, they include the WWE. Tell me again, how often do you promote the companies you’ve worked for previously and/or currently. They genuinely love everything about wrestling and show up even if they are told to just sit in the stands and pretend they give a fuck about the trash can that’s taking the spot they and others like them deserve. Let’s get one thing straight, you’re only here as a publicity stunt and as soon ass they can’t make money off of you anymore you’ll be written off or show up less than Lesnar.

R*nda: You weren’t there to support me, you were there cause there was a camera point at me.l and never in my life have I seen such desperation for attention.

That may true it may not be true, but the camera was pointed at them before you were in the ring so it worked didn’t it? But we all know the truth, Vince told them to be there to start the plot line and also promote Total Divas return which is still a hit and Nikki still produces. Unfortunately like RAW you’re ruining that too as we watch the girls being forced to pretend they like you being here. Now if this was pointed only at Nikki then I mean I’d be less annoyed but you’re talking about Brie too. Brie, who would rather be playing with Birdie in her garden than worrying about showing up to something extra just for a camera. Brie, who cried over not breastfeeding because of work. You really think she cares if the cameras stop rolling?

R*nda: blah blah blah minimum amount of talent...

I would like for you to see one of the baddest female power finishers in the business the Rack Attack and Rack Attack 2.0. Bitch, you couldn’t even execute a Samoan drop properly and have yet to prove that you can do anything other than an arm bar (even in mma you barely won with skill).

R*nda: You leached off of the names of your men.

Again with the “yes” chant guys .. who the fuck are you supporting? The bitch who shows up every week to talk or the girls who only ended up with their men through plot lines when they were either both still new or both huge. There was never a big power dynamic with the exception of Cena being a man so he made more money. Also notice both girls wrestled even when their men weren’t on the show either cause of injury or filming. You see they didn’t need a man to get them their jobs. They didn’t need a man to open their doors. They kicked the doors down and then allowed men to join them. They found success in spite of their men. When they were told no, they didn’t accept it and screamed “yes.” (This audience really needs to learn when to chant .. now is the time for the “yes” chant people!)

R*nda: You plagiarize and dilute their move sets.

Now, I know the Bellas aren’t the most intelligent, in fact they probably had to ask Daniel later what you meant. But sincerely from the bottom our hearts R*nda,

DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT A MOVESET IS OR IS VINCE FEEDING YOU LINES LIKE HE DID LIO RUSH? Cause let me tell you something bitch, the crowd chants “yes” for Brie more than Daniel. And last I checked Nikki is single and still on top without the help of anyone else.

R*nda: You’re not pioneers, you’re callous. You’re relics of the past waiting to be eviscerated like small pox.

Oh sweetie, they didn’t catch any of that. To be honest, you sound like me when I’m practicing my word of the day on the mornings I remember to learn them. This line should have been eradicated from the script.

(Honestly the best scene in this was Nikki looking confused as fuck when she heard and Brie looking for help from the audience.)

R*nda: (nonsense) I can rip your arms off and beat you with them.

A one trick pony’s gotta do what it’s gotta do. If you think anyone is actually scared of you, you have a rude awakening coming your way.

R*nda: *stutters* stoping me is going to be the referee and everyone knows their not very good at holding me back.

You’re right their fake attempts to “hold you back” are about as good as your tongue is at not getting in the way when you speak each week. (Seriously, is there a compilation somewhere?)

R*nda: But you know, I am much more than a pretty face with a deadly body.

Giiiiiiiiiiirl, you didn’t have to tell us those aren’t your best attributes. And don’t get me wrong, you’re not hideous until you open your mouth and release all that hate speech you like to throw out. Your attitude makes you look like the troll in HP: The Sorceres Stone.

R*nda: I will ruin you. Regardless of how much money is poured into marketing you.

None, the answer is none. The only woman who’s getting marketing money is you. You’d know that if you’d been here thought this entire revolution. And not just the tale end of it. Bitch, do you not see that they aren’t even spending money to market Evolution?

R*nda: I will make the name Bella into a four letter word—

BITCH!!!! I REWOUND THAT FOUR TIMES!

R*nda: blah blah blah societal sore (🙄) blah blah ..

Brie: honestly I’m so distracted by the yes chants AGAIN that I have no clue what she said and can’t be bothered to go back because I’m in BIAS MODE (lol I crack myself up, that was punny). Is R*nda gonna cry?

I did catch Brie reinforce that she’s only talking about R*ndas career here .. Brie, you’re a heel. Heels don’t say nice things sandwiched into mean things. You just stop at career. She doesn’t get credit from you for past things, cause you’re a heel babygirl.

Nikki spits some truth even to those of you who hate her. Honestly, like her or not they did the damn thing and opened doors. Let’s not discredit their work.

R*nda: My entire career I been knocking down doors. (Names irrelevant companies) here at the WWE..

Nobody said you didn’t, just that you haven’t in the WWE. And because Brie is so nice (😒) she has already reminded you that we aren’t discrediting your entire career. But imma stop you right there bitch you’ve done NOTHING for the WWE.

R*nda: The only door you ever knocked down was the door to John Cenas bedroom .. and he eventually threw you out of that exact same door.

Sit down girls, let mama fix this.

First off bitch, you better buckle the fuck up for this truth I’m about to shit down your throat. You have the audacity to discredit a six year relationship AND slut shame right before a WOMANS EVOLUTION. Sit the fuck back and think about what you just did. Let’s set aside the fact that I wanna take you to the back yardso you can choose your switch for a moment. You claim to be the face of the evolution and yet you stand up here and degrade a woman below the belt ON TELEVISION about her PERSONAL life. Let’s say she did fake the relationship. Wtf does that have to do with the price of tea in China? Don’t sit up here with a holier than thou attitude only to try and make a woman insecure about herself and her relationship.

“Oh but it’s just for show.” NO THE FUCK IT ISN’T. SLUT SHAMING IS NOT EVER JUST FOR SHOW.

“But the twins started it,” SHOW ME WHERE AND I’LL TELL THEM OFF TOO! don’t come at me with some heel turn bullshit either.

“But Nikki broke up with John,” FACT BUT IT DOESN’T MAKE THE HEARTBREAK LESS! And honestly that’s a whole other diatribe for me.

“But they ran away,” they got laid a lot of money to runaway and hold off on beating her ass.

There is never an acceptable time for women to talk to other women like R*nda did tonight but adding that it’s so close to Evolution and with all the shit already has so many of us ready to walk away, this was disgusting. I didn’t actually care who won the championship cause I want Bliss to come back and have a real fight for it win or lose but now...Fuck you R*nda, I hope Nikki destroys you and you never come back to the ring.

Let’s just take a second to say, FUCK YOU @wwe for making me side with Corey douchebag Graves.

Mom’s Theory

So, Mom’s got this theory. She says that she thinks, or she knows, that everyone is bisexual. Everyone, in some capacity, is bisexual. Now, I know what you’re thinking, you’re thinking that’s insane. That’s insane because you’re probably not bisexual. Or you might be but know a straight friend or family member. You know that person’s not bisexual, one hundred percent.

But see, in Mom’s eyes, that person is bisexual. We’re all bisexual. At least, that’s what Mom thinks. It’s just, some people are more bisexual than others. Like on a scale of one to one hundred, one hundred being a cock mongering cross-dresser and one being some jock that’s embarrassed at the slightest appreciation on another man’s six-pack. She thinks both of these people, though on completely different sides of the spectrum, are both bisexual.

Same goes for the opposite side of sex. Say you have a complete slag over at one hundred and a so-called butch dyke over at one. Given the opportunity, both could have sexual relationships with a woman or a man. Depending on their circumstance, everyone in the world would go “gay” or “straight”, depending on their circumstances.

Mom always used to give an example, she’d say, “take the Playboy, put him with the so-called queer on a desert island. The atomic bombs have gone off and there’s only one living hole around. You don’t think that after a couple months, that so-called queer’s not looking good to Mr. Playboy?”

Mom thinks that because we’re all bisexual we could, under certain circumstances, have sex with anyone, no matter what your sexual orientation is. It’s all about preference, in Mom’s eyes. If you prefer Dr. Pepper, it doesn’t mean that you won’t drink Sprite on occasion.

Another example Mom uses when she’s had a little bit too much Merlot, and she’s spewing out her theory in almost incomprehensible fashion, the other example is me. She tells the poor sod who’s stuck listening or arguing that her son is a perfect example. See, Mom always thought I was on the side of the spectrum that liked boys more than girls. She was convinced that I was the sort of guy who would only have sex with a woman only after the atomic bombs went off and I and the woman were stranded on a deserted island.

For the record, I would have sex with that woman. Does this prove her theory? No, it doesn’t because, contrary to what Mom thought, I have always been a man on the side of the spectrum that like women. I was just a late bloomer. I was shy. I didn’t bring home girls like the bisexual Playboy would.

High school, it just never happened for me. I mean, I kissed them sure but nothing sexual, just my friends and I goofing off. I kissed boys too. One time Mom walked in on me and Jeremy pecking. But it was just friendly. It’s what kids do. They experiment. It doesn’t mean I’m gay or bisexual or anything. It means I’m normal if anything.

But, still, I was categorized. I was put in a box by my own mother. What really solidified my place in the boy-on-boy side of the spectrum was my choice to go to college in San Francisco. Now, this was the pre-technology takeover. This was the San Francisco of late night parties and Bay-to-Breakers. This was the San Francisco that welcomed all walks of life: Homeless crack whores to rich Castro daddies. It was the West Coast’s New York, America’s Europe. Anything could happen.

So anyway, I go to school up there and I start to have some fun. I lose my virginity to a lovely young woman named Karen in the bathroom of a party in the Sunset district. I got a fake ID, I made friends, I hallucinated on Haight Street, I did everything. I go home for Thanksgiving determined to prove my mother wrong. I had sex with a woman. I wasn’t gay or bisexual. I was straight. Mom has all of her intellectual friends over and they sit there eating brie on crackers and sipping merlot. I can’t wait for Mom to begin her bisexual theory rants so I can once and for all prove her wrong. She would start with the desert island example, us the soda metaphor and end with pointing at me and telling them that even though I like boys, under the right circumstances, I could have sex with a girl because we’re all bisexual.

I’m waiting and waiting and waiting and it never comes. She doesn’t bring it up. She talks about her recent trip to Costa Rica, her love escapades with an Italian man named Xavier and the problem with socialism. But nothing even remotely close to her theory on sexual orientation. It’s like she knew what I was up to and avoided it because she feared to be wrong. She had always feared that I would cause some uproar in her intellectual gatherings. She always wanted me to sit quietly and drink my Dr. Pepper. But not that night. No, she wasn’t going to win. I was going to debunk her stupid theory with the sex I had with Karen.

Mom ends a conversation with an anecdote from some poem she had just read on the internet, she said it was from the famous poet B.S. Elliot. She gets up to get more wine and I tell her that I did some research into one of her theories while away at college. Dan, a man with a big beard in Mom’s intellectual circle, asks if I was enjoying the hills which momentarily threw me off. I said I liked the city and culture, that the hills added something to the city that I couldn’t put my finger on. Satisfied, Dan nodded and said something about the De Young museum. I smiled, nodded and turned my attention back to Mom. She poured a healthy glass of wine and spun around, disappointed that I spoke up while her intellectual friends were still there. She motioned for me to go ahead and speak but her body language said not for very long. I told her that I had sex with a girl named Karen. There was an awkward silence, like when someone says “bomb” on an airplane. Mom walked back to the couch and sat down. She took a sip of her Merlot and said something about how I am the perfect example of her theory about sexual orientation. She starts to explain it to her intellectual friends in their intellectual circle. Dan is most intrigued.

See, that is not how I had planned it. I planned Mom to drop her glass and stain the carpet. But no, Mom reiterates that I am on the side of the spectrum where boys like boys. She goes on to describe that I have had sex with a girl named Karen in college, probably out of peer pressure. She says that I like boys and girls and that under the right circumstances, I would have sexual intercourse with any of them.

I blurted out that no, my sex with Karen disproves Mom’s theory that I am at the side of the spectrum that likes boy on boy action. I reiterated that I had sex with a woman named Karen and I enjoyed it very much. And without Mom having to explain, something hit me. I got it. I realized that night, drinking my Sprite sitting next to Dan, that I was in fact bisexual. This whole time I’ve liked both penis and vagina.

Another awkward silence and Mom said you my son, are in the middle. You like both boys and girls equal. Then she explained to everyone that I kissed boys and girls and that she has caught me with Jeremy smooching when we were young.

After Thanksgiving break, I went back to school and went to a party. This time, I met a boy named Kevin and we went upstairs until the sun rose. I loved every second of it. I loved it just as much as I loved being with Karen.

So, Mom was right. She’s always right. We’re all bisexual. Some are on the opposite sides of the spectrum and some are right in the middle. But, no matter who you are, in the right circumstances, you could flip, just like that. Just like me.
