I want to talk about these pages from the cates hulk run

Because despite my hatred of the cates run, a feeling I’m sure a lot of hulk favs share, these pages are REALLY good. And it does something I wish more hulk storye’s would do which is to flesh out who Rebecca banner was when she was alive.

Even immortal hulk as much as I loved it didn’t do much with Rebecca, like Batman’s parents or uncle Ben I know Rebecca exists to die. But both with uncle Ben and Batman’s parents it’s usually shown how they influenced their respective hero’s outside of just their deaths. But still the only times we ever really see Rebecca is when she’s getting beaten.

Aside from this scene and her temporary revival in the Chaos king storyline. We never see who Rebecca is when she isn’t getting beaten or dying.

I want more scenes like this of Rebecca when she was alive, the good times she had with Bruce that make her death at Brian’s hands more tragic. Make her a bit more of a person in her own right rather then just a prop.

And the fact that a moment this good came out of the fuckin cates run is even more astounding to me.

Fancast for Bruce Banner’s family that we haven’t seen.

This is just a fancast. Yes, there’s a Rebecca in She-Hulk, but we have no clue who she is to Bruce.

Rebecca Banner (flashback) - Idina Menzel or Emmy Rossum

Brian Banner (flashback) - James Marsters

Susan Banner - Patti LuPone

If anyone should be allowed to play two different roles in the MCU, it’s the queen of Broadway.

hulk sketches from today

I don’t think I’ve shared my faceclaims for Bruce’s parents, Rebecca and Brian: Susan Sarandon and Jeremy Irons.

[goodoldfashionedengineer]

I am watching Daisy Jones & the Six rn, a fictional band which was really popular in the 70s but had a fallout and no one answered why, until 20 years later when they interview the band members and people involved with them, a documentary of sorts.

And I love that sort of thing.

So, idea: Bruce was a brilliant scientist and one day, he disappeared from the face of the earth (on the day of the gamma bomb test). They make a documentary about Bruce Banner in the 80s/90s.

None of his still living family members wanted to participate.

They pull in some other people.

Elementary school teacher: "He was gifted from a young age. Always on top of his class. Could read before he was four years old. But he wasn't really sociable. He didn't have any friends, no. The other kids quickly saw him as a target and ganged up on him."

"It was usually his mom who picked him up. Brian Banner, his father, was known to... Not be a pleasant person. A very angry and also insecure man.”

Former neighbor, “The neighborhood wasn't really a community. Except for church services, maybe. But yeah, you could hear screams from the Banner house very often. Mr and Mrs Banner went out a lot and the boy stayed with the Nanny. Highly unpleasant person as well. You didn't see her often but you knew that you just didn't want to talk with her.”

Bartender, “Brian Banner was a regular. Nobody liked him because he got really aggressive when drunk. And loud. He would often complain about his son, making claims about him being a monster. It was at these moments I was glad he was at the bar instead of at home.”

Former neighbor: “Rebecca did sport a black eye every now and then, no amount of make-uo was going to conceal that. Plus she wore long-sleeved shirts even in summer. She was a good woman. She didn't deserve what happened to her. But yes, the clues that something like this could happen were there.”

Reporter: “What happened?”

Police Officer #1: “We got a call. An accident with one person dead. We arrived at the scene and we all knew that this was no accident.”

Police Officer #2: “He was still kneeling beside her bleeding body. His hands, his face, his clothes, they were all covered in blood. I gave him a blanket, guided him away to our car. He didn't show any signs of emotions. But tears were running down his face. Suddenly, he said ‘She didn’t slip. "He killed her’.”

Police Officer #3: “I remember him. I couldn't ever forget that case. I was with him at the station while we waited for his aunt. He was sitting there all alone, wrapped in a blanket so I decided to get him a hot chocolate. You could see that he had it tough in life. There were bruises on his arms, some handshapped. I brought the hot chocolate over to him and he was holding out his arm. Was muttering something along the lines of ‘I can't find it’. I never understood it.”

Reporter: “You were his middle school teacher?”

Teacher #1: “Yes, I was.”

Reporter: “What do you remember about him?”

Teacher #1: “He was a real troublemaker. Not because of his grades, but he would cause scenes because he only ever wanted to work alone, which backfired multiple times. And his constant mumbling!”

Reporter: “Mumbling?”

Teacher: “Yes! He would talk to himself so often, even during class! And then he had the audacity to not even pay attention to the lesson!”

Schoolmate #1: “I was in the same class as him.”

“Ohh, yes, he mumbled to himself so often! Not even himself, his imaginary friend. Imaginary friend! We were teenagers and the guy still had an imaginary friend. Probably because no one else would willingly spend time with him.”

“Hulk. He always called him Hulk, yeah. Even wrote that name down in his notebook he always carried around.”

“He had this notebook and he would write in it whenever he could. Even during class.”

“I don't know what he wrote in it anymore. Some sort of equations.”

Carla, schoolmate: “He stepped in when Ken, the school bully, harrassed me. He didn't have to do that, but he did anyway.”

“Well, they… they beat him up. He had to go to the hospital. Broken ribs. But once he came back, he asked me if I was okay!”

“What I said? Erm, stuff I regret saying. I don't want to talk about it. We were teenagers and I had a lot to deal with already. I had my own insecurities and your reputation was really important back in school. It wasn't fair, yes, but I was just a girl.”

“He was a good person. Sure, he was weird, but he did not deserve to be bullied. Nobody does.”

Reporter: “How do you know Bruce Banner?”

Former college student #1: “We were roommates during college.”

Reporter: “What was he like?”

Former college student #1: “Smart. Passionate. Awkward. He was great at what he did, a real favorite amongst teachers. He studied with Stoddard, another gamma scientist. Stoddard was always jealous of Banner, because he worked much harder but Banner was the one who got all the praise.”

“It wasn't that Banner was lazy, he was just a genius who just instantly understood everything it seemed. When he had a problem, he would immediately try to solve it.”

Reporter: “How do you know Bruce Banner?”

“We were friends during college.”

“We had a study group in college and we would spend the weekends together too sometimes.”

“We were all nerds, which is why it was so easy to talk together. The rest? They didn't understand us. But we understood each other.”

Former college student #3: “We had fun sharing our interests, sharing knowledge, getting into rambles, going into hypothetical scenarios.”

Former college student #2: *rubbing the back of his neck* “What we would do in our free time together? Ehh.”

Former college student #3: “Drugs.”

Former college student #2: “It was the 70s and burnt out college students. I’m sure that’s all that you need.”

Former college student #1: “Once, I hadn't seen him for three days. I didn't think much of it until he came back. He looked really shaken up and spaced-out. Told me he was at a cafe three towns over. Apparently he had no idea how he got there and just walked back.”

“If he went to parties? Usually not. Except when he did. See, most of the time he was really timid. He was sure of himself, but still introverted. But when he did go out? The guy went all the way. Would even ask me if I wanted to come with him, which I declined. He was like a completely different person.”

Former college student #2: “We had a great time together. Parties were so fun! He really knew how to charm the ladies. It was like Clark Kent and Superman, one second an unassuming guy, the next, he knew how to read the room and what to say to people to get what he wants as if he could read their minds.”

Former college student #3: “Sometimes we would drive to a casino, he would make some money and afterwards we would get something to eat.”

Former college student #2: “And sometimes… Sometimes it seemed more like possession than a superpower. I remember one time we were in the car, mentally not 100% present and he asked really panicked ‘Where am I? How did I get here?’. And that whole confident demeanor? It was gone.”

Former college student #1: “Yes, this was not the only occurrence. Sometimes he would become… childish? He would talk in a few word sentences. I blamed it on sleep deprivation but when I asked him about it, he told me he didn't remember.”

Journalist: “What happened after Dr. Banner’s college time is mostly speculation. What we do know is that he tried to get funding for his research but was declined. As to what his idea consisted of, we have no idea. Eventually he would join the government and this was the last officially known thing about him. His contact with friends and family members became less and less. Of course, he had co-workers that would probably know more, but even the ones working with him are mostly classified and the ones we do know of were unable to be contacted. Eventually a missing person report was filed - and immediately closed. Did he die? Is he held captive? Did he see something he was not supposed to see? As of now, we don't have the answers. But there is hope that we one day will.”

[gammacousin]

Alexei Shostakov: “Tell us what to leave in Will.”

Rebecca Banner Jr.: “Whatever you want to leave me is fine.”

Melina Vostokoff: “No. You should have what you want. Put post-it note on items.”

Natasha Romanoff: “Okay, you two have reached a new level of weird.”

Melina Vostokoff: “You can pick too. With your sister.”

Natasha Romanoff: “Oh good, now its way less creepy.”

Melina Vostokoff: “You hear her, Alexei? We are creepy.”

Alexei Shostakov: “Ha!”

Rebecca Banner Jr: “Errr, this is interesting.”

Natasha Romanoff: “The creepy vase? But where would we put it?”

Melina Vostokoff: “This one?”

Natasha Romanoff: “Yeah. But don’t touch it, we want to put a Post-it on it so keep it nice.”

Melina Vostokoff: “…Is it exhausting to be you?”

Natasha Romanoff: “If you only knew.”

May 2034, Jamie Tartt's farewell to football and A.F.C. Richmond

"So, you know, I hope I've given half as much as I got. And we can never really know what the future will bring, can we, but there's one thing I know for certain..."

A breath in, a breath out into the trembling air, as the stadium waited in silence that felt too close to reverence. Jamie bent his head slightly, and lifted his shirt to meet his lips.

"I'm Richmond till I die."

And he kissed the badge.

A New Background 🌅

[yeyayeya]

This is hours late but-

When I saw this my mind instantly went to Alm and Faye and thought we were getting the Ram Village kids, but looking at it closer it doesn’t seem to be the case

Faye’s hair doesn’t match on who the girl is one the right, and the boy’s hair also does not match Alm at all, and even the sword which I assume is a rapier doesn’t seem to be something Alm would have

My mind went to Eli and if that’s the case and if we get FE7 kiddos I’m gonna die

God I should start writing that endgame what if/fix it fic I started writing in 2019 where Bruce's character isn't shit or Prof

[soupsandstars]

Cool down sketch that sort of snowballed

[neonshrike]

Okay, so one of my biggest Bruce headcanons is that he likes to cook. It all started with helping his mother in the kitchen (maybe as a way to get him away from his father) and it’s something that’s therapeutic to him.

Then I thought of something very similar and for some reason I like thinking of other characters when I listen to musicals. Waitress is one of my absolute favorites:

Even as the walls come tumbling down

Even as I can't stop remembering how

Every door we ever made, we never once walked out

Jenna is singing about baking as a way to cope with her problems, and her mother taught her everything. And it’s revealed that her father abused them and her mother died as a result.

[gammacousin]

Elaine Walters: “Great film. Great choice, Sue. I'll definitely be able to sleep tonight.”

Rebecca Banner: *horrified* “What kind of movie is this?!”

Susan Drake: *to the screen* “RIP HIS THROAT OUT!”

Elaine Walters: “It’s a musical, Becca.”
