“I live with dust on my heart.”
An excerpt from ChatGPT regarding a line in a letter written by Robert Kincaid to Francesca Johnson in the novel The Bridges of Madison Country:
“By stating that he lives with dust on his heart, Robert Kincaid suggests that his heart is burdened, covered, or weighed down by something unresolved or unfulfilled. The "dust" represents the accumulation of emotional pain, regret, or unfulfilled desires. It signifies the remnants of past experiences or relationships that have left a lasting impact on him.
The phrase also implies a sense of isolation or a lack of emotional connection. Dust is often associated with neglect or abandonment, suggesting that Robert Kincaid feels emotionally detached or distant from others. It conveys a sense of longing for a deeper connection or emotional fulfillment that has eluded him.
In the context of the letter to Francesca Johnson, who has been a rare source of connection and love for Robert, he is expressing his vulnerability and the depth of his emotions. He is essentially saying that despite his experiences and the burdens he carries, Francesca has managed to reach his heart and bring it to life.”

Essential Avengers: Avengers #311: The WEAKEST POINT
December, 1989
Hydrobase DESTROYED!
Right from Atlantis Attacks to Acts of Vengeance?
Ugh. Marvel really was trying to shake all the quarters out of its audience in 1989. And then the trends of the 90s with special covers and new number one's galore? And then bankruptcy because the big comic companies had poisoned their own waters with that kind of behavior?
I'm getting ahead of myself.
I covered all of Atlantis Attacks because the Avengers and West Coast Avengers chapters wouldn't make any sense in isolation.
I am NOT covering all of Acts of Vengeance.
I counted 50 participating issues before I gave up! That is so much! And it's not really an overarching story so much as... like a vibe? A vague theme?
Villains attacking people they don't usually villain because some masterminds think that would give them a better chance of winning.
A flawed premise because in Marvel, the idea of a strict rogues gallery is a lot more loose. Since a huge chunk of the superhero populace operates out of New York, everybody just kinda shares.
I mean, sure, some of the match-ups that took place in Acts of Vengeance were unlikely. But they were match-ups that could have eventually happened just because Superman Doesn't Stay Out of Gotham in Marvel, if you catch my point.
As the bridge between all of Marvel, the Avengers are pretty likely to eventually fight anyone.
Anyway, I'll only be covering the Avengers and Avengers West Coast. If I try to cover everything I will die.
Also, I covered Atlantis Attacks first because Hydrobase/Avengers Island shows up in it and then (spoilers) it gets destroyed here in issue #311.
Remember how I kept saying enjoy the island while you could?
Yeah...
;_;
Look at Avengers Island in that opening splash! The runway and roads form a sorta A shape. That's just cool!
That's the coolest the island has ever looked because other aerial shots have been pretty barren or have only showed the Avengers Mansion.
Sadly, Avengers Island never really got a chance to shine. Introduced by Stern before he got unceremoniously booted by editorial meddling and barely utilized by Walter Simonson since his run barely got off the ground. John Byrne seemed like he was going to do something with it when his run started because he had the island moved closer to New York and renamed from Hydrobase to Avengers Island.
But it got hoisted out of the sea (somehow without being majorly damaged) in the Lava Men trilogy and then wasn't really important in the Gilgamesh Is Dead trilogy and now here we are where (spoilers) its going to be destroyed.
I'm jumping the gun a little bit to eulogize but it's been a recent them of the Avengers books that interesting ideas just don't get a chance before they're taken out back and shot.
Captain Monica as the chairwoman of the Avengers. The Worst Roster. Avengers Island.
There's always someone smacking the book and yelling at it to stop trying new things.
Anyway. My unending sadness aside, this is a Quasar focus issue.
I'm not really sure when he became an Avenger because he just started showing up as one when Cap announced the Every Avenger Is An Avenger roster. So either sometime in another book or he was just nearby when Cap was gathering people and got included to pad out the numbers.
(Apparently, there was a back-up story in Avengers Annual #18 set between Avengers #303 and 304 showing that Quasar got invited to join after the Super-Nova incident. Captain America and Hawkeye fight over him. It sounds like a fun story. But I read Avengers Annual #18 for Atlantis Attacks and sometimes back-up stories are omitted on Unlimited and whoops this is one of those times.)
Quasar shows up at Avengers Island after participating in another Acts of Vengeance over in his own book.
Speaking of ideas that never really got a chance to shine: the Avengers Support Crew finally show up!
With the Avengers getting a whole island as their headquarters, some noise was made in Simonson's run that they'd be hiring more of a support crew than just Jarvis. Mostly characters from Captain America's orbit.
But with Simonson leaving the book, not a lot was done with that idea. Until now! The very issue that the new, bigger headquarters they were hired to help with is going to sink!
Hahahaha ;_;
Anyway. We have Robert Frank Jr - Nuklo from Giant-Size Avengers #1. Son of the Whizzer and Miss America (not the modern one). He was cured of being excessively radioactive and got hired to be a groundskeeper on Avengers Island.
We have Peggy Carter. I don't need to explain Peggy Carter. She fought in World War II and was Cap's sometimes girlfriend. Then he started dating her niece instead. Which is a very normal thing to do, probably. She was hired to be in charge of telecommunications.
There's Fabian Stankiewicz. Good ol' Mechano-Marauder! That dingus that kept building robot suits to attack the Avengers and he was treated as a bit of a joke villain? Even getting beaten once by David Letterman. Yes, David Letterman. Cap saw potential in him anyway and hired him to maintain and improve the Avengers' technology.
There's M'Daka, a Wakandan pilot that delivered Captain America a new shield once. And apparently this made such an impression on Cap that he poached the guy from T'Challa to work for the Avengers as a mechanic.
Michael O'Brien, the former head of security for Project PEGASUS and later the Vault and was hired as head of security for the Avengers. Given the stuff that happened at Project PEGASUS and the Vault, I don't know if he's great at his job. But also the Avengers aren't great at security sometimes so its a lateral move, at worst.
Jarvis, of course, is on the payroll as butler and delightful human being. I assume he gets paid extra for being so delightful.
Keith Kincaid, husband to Jane Foster, was hired as a doctor so the Avengers wouldn't have to rely on mysterious Doctor Donald Blake just showing up whenever there's a medical emergency. And presumably to make Thor feel bad whenever he has to look at the dude that married his girlfriend because his dad made them break up.
There's also Donna Maria Puentes, a South American revolutionary that impressed Captain America with how good she was at shooting Nazi androids. So he hired her as an administrator.
Take this with a grain of salt because I'm also the person looking forward to the Avengers' 90s team jackets but I think the blue jumpsuits and red turtlenecks are a very spiffy look for the support crew.
I honestly like the idea that as a bigger, more officially recognized super-team, the Avengers would have a support staff. And since security is very hard for superheroes, it's mostly people that Captain America already knew.
This issue really goes into some depth about how Avengers Island normally operates. There's guys doing landscaping. There's guys in a security room spotting Quasar arriving and making sure the system confirms his arrival via retina pattern and fingerprints. Then they watch him as he makes his way through the Mansion towards the communication room.
When he gets there Peggy Carter tells him that she's getting reports from all over that superheroes are getting attacked by people they've never faced before.
She won't call it a plot without more evidence but she definitely is thinking the word plot very loudly.
Elsewhere, a mysterious (Loki) man in a suit sits on a throne flanked by two fancy braziers (it's Loki) spying on the Avengers' communication room with magical scrying (Acts of Vengeance plays this up as a mystery but it's Loki, you know it, I know it, and he knows it).
Definitely Loki meets with a mysterious green cloaked figure (Dr Doom, obviously) and ... Shredder from Ninja Turtles? Or maybe the Mandarin? And there's a lot of Everything Transpires How We Planned and yeah we're definitely all going to try to betray each other between them.
Definitely Doom says that he's set in motion his part of the plan.
Anyway, Peggy Carter just finishes telling Quasar that she hasn't been able to contact any of the other Avengers when Avengers Island starts to shake.
Peggy checks on the security monitor and OH NO
Dozens of robots are smashing holes in the flotation cushions that keep the not-an-island Avengers Island floating!
Since it's just Quasar and the support crew (despite the lying cover featuring Thor, Namor, She-Hulk, Sersi, and Captain America! That's a lot of lying, even by cover standards!), it's an all hands situation.
The non-superpowered people all grab laser rifles from gun lockers, Fabian gets into his latest battlesuit, and Quasar flies out and starts blasting robots.
I'm of two minds here, re: the Acts of Vengeance conceit.
The Avengers have fought Doom before. He's not showing up personally, just sending some robots. But I think it counts. So Doom attacking the Avengers with robots isn't a match-up they haven't had before.
But most of the actual Avengers are off busy somewhere. I don't think Quasar has fought Doom. So Quasar and the Avengers Support Crew versus some Doom robots that aren't Doombots is a novel match-up.
The support crew and Quasar blast the bots to pieces but the disembodied limbs keep attacking.
Rocket punch!
That ol' Doom sure knows how to build a robot.
Even as the support crew and Quasar blast bots, more continue to punch holes in Avengers Island.
MEANWHILE, SPACE.
Which is a thing you have to say when reading comics.
Starfox sneaks aboard Nebula's spaceship to find out what his supposed grandniece is up to. He pleasure zonks a guard unconscious and steals his environment suit so he can be INCOGNITO.
He finds his way to the bridge where Nebula and her Rigellian minion Gunthar are looking over the tablets they recovered from Omicron Seti, which hold in their ancient carvings A SECRET THAT DETERMINES THE FATE OF THE UNIVERSE. A secret that will make her scarier than Thanos.
But she'll need Paul Harker, that random old man scientist the book has kept cutting to. The one who blew up his own basement with his new invention? That guy.
The one subplot the Avengers book has been dutifully building up.
Back at Avengers Island, the support crew is getting overwhelmed. Even Stankiewicz in his battlesuit.
BUT DAMMIT THEY WON'T GIVE UP. THEY HAVE TO PROVE THEY'RE WORTHY OF CAP'S TRUST!
Wow. Cap picked well. These guys really want to live up to what he saw in them.
Quasar sees some of the robots messing with the big Quinjet fuel storage tanks but he's able to chase them away pretty easily. Too pretty easily...
But he literally doesn't have time to worry about that.
He sends Peggy Carter to go back to the communications room and try again to contact the Avengers. Despite Peggy telling him the emergency signal has been going since the attack started.
Peggy worries that the Avengers are already dead, since she wasn't able to raise them before the attack. But she's not going to think about it!
The robots retreat but the island is already sinking.
Quasar doesn't know whether this is a trick or not but he decides to use the breathing room anyway.
He orders an evacuation and orders the support crew to try to prepare as many of the Quinjets for launch as they can reasonably save.
Then he dives into the water to check to see if Hydrobase Avengers Island can be saved.
And. No.
No, it can't.
Every one of the flotation cylinders has been ruptured and has taken on water. There's just not enough time to patch all the holes before the island completely sinks.
Quasar does create a giant brace with his green lantern-ish powers to stabilize the island.
I wonder why he doesn't make a jack to lift it completely out of the water. He's thrown an entire Terminus into space once.
For that matter, weren't giant spikes put into Avengers Island to keep it in one place? Where are those and wouldn't they help keep the island afloat?
I guess that got lost in the shuffle.
O'Brien rushes into the mansion (where the flooding is ruining all of Tony Stark's art and rugs) to look for Peggy Carter. Who you may recall was sent back into the Mansion to try to contact the Avengers despite an automated distress call going out.
Way to manufacture drama, Quasar.
Peggy insists at staying at her post, continuing to try to contact help. Like she thinks she's on the Titanic or something. But O'Brien lies and says that the Avengers are here so c'mon lets hustle.
Then the secret bomb that the robots secretly left at the fuel tanks unsecretly explodes.
Knocking Quasar for a loop and rendering his plan to stabilize the island moot.
There's just no chance of saving the island now.
But Quasar does pop out of the water to save O'Brien and Peggy and carry them to the Quinjet Jarvis is piloting.
Hi, Jarvis!
Jarvis: "I only wish we had never removed our headquarters from New York City. Then, perhaps... nothing like this... could ever have happened. The proud history of Avengers Mansion would not have ended like this..."
Jarvis, I love ya, but shut up. You sound like you're speaking from the editorial, not from the heart.
Don't forget that y'all moved to the island in the first place because the Masters of Evil basically gutted Avengers Mansion. You might as well say 'I only wish we'd moved out to sea earlier so nothing like this could ever have happened' about that.
And like I said at the beginning of this post, Avengers Island was not a mistake. It was a new direction for the book that never got a chance to shine before someone lost their nerve and forced a change back to status quo.
Because, yes, before too long, Avengers Mansion will be rebuilt back in Manhattan.
And I like Avengers Mansion. Honestly, it's my favorite HQ for the team. But I wish this era wasn't characterized with timid backtracking.
Aside from that, this is a cool issue. Seeing the civilian support staff and Quasar have to defend the base while the Avengers are absent is pretty interesting.
I disagree with the sinking of Avengers Island but it does give Acts of Vengeance some impact. Although it can't compare to the last big HQ wrecking, Avengers Under Siege.
Anyway. Quasar says he gets the feeling this whole thing isn't over. And he's right. There's two more Acts of Vengeance in Avengers and three in Avengers West Coast.
Four in Avengers Spotlight but I don't read that. It says Avengers on it but it's like Two-in-One or Marvel Team-Up but with Hawkeye.
Follow @essential-avengers. Like and reblog. Shout to the wind. Howl like nobody's watching.

"you’re out of your fucking mind.”
ava raises an eyebrow, staring at nini pointedly. ❝ i'm out of my mind? because i'll say it again nina. ❞ she bites off her words, as sweet as she almost sounds in her tone of voice. ❝ you're not the only girl in this room who knows what he likes. and i think if you're going to be talking about this little outfit situation out loud with your friend on facetime, i may as well offer my opinion. ❞ she shrugs, there's no sense trying to get this girl to like her, she doesn't care if she does or doesn't. besides, she'd pretty much burned that bridge with ricky, though things had been arguably mostly amicable on the split itself. his now girlfriend... definitely isn't going to like her. they just have to put up with each other a little while longer, rooming together for the competition out of a coincidence of fate...

KF:TLC post-series (fic) thoughts
I was thinking about post-series and things I'd like to see.
Obviously, Paul's return would be a cool thing. I've read several variations on this. I feel like thematically, he needs to return of his own volition once he's defeated his inner demons. But that doesn't make as exciting a story as his life in danger, I know. I do think it needs to be a little bit - not happen right on the heels of Peter leaving the force.
I'd like to see more stories (even set during series) featuring on Peter and his sisters when Peter is adult. They show up in kid-Peter fics, but rarely in adulthood.
Laura to be dead. I haven't seen the finale in many, many years, and don't recall the details, but I don't like her being alive. I mean, Caine and Peter being alive when the other thought them dead was part of the series premise, but her too just seems to go too far (not that Matthew didn't already). It actually might be interesting to see Caine being manipulated/led down the wrong path and Peter as the one with clear vision on the matter. But, like I said, can't recall the specifics. Though, I do think Peter needs time to settle in to being the Caine of Chinatown, so people become used to coming to him for help before his dad comes back.
I'd like to see Peter and Jordan and Jody relationship dynamics addressed. Without Jordan as a bad guy. I actually ship Peter and Jody (I know many don't), but even under the goodbye-ish circumstance of him leaving the station, kissing Jody like that in the precinct while still with Jordan last she knew (at least as far as I can recall) is a real shit move of Peter's. The gossip will be terrible.
Okay, they aren't main characters, but more followup on Karen and her son or Kermit and his would be cool. I admit I'm way more into Karen's relationship with Todd. I'm a big Simms fan, and I totally crushed on Todd when I first sow the show as a teenager. Plus, she's seemingly going to end up adopting a baby, so there's a whole new dynamic.
I want a story where TJ Kincaid does manage to pull back the woman he loved from the darkness. He can have Peter, Caine, or Lo Si as his supernatural support, but I want it to be be him that does it.

❝ you're real mature, aren't you? ❞ she laughs, another roll of her eyes. ❝ whatever planet i came from- are we nineteen or twelve? ❞ but then, she can tell ricky's happy. maybe she doesn't like that- on some level. maybe there's some regret there, with what happened... or maybe she just- doesn't like nina- nini... whatever. ❝ cool. i'll be out of here long before that, trust me. ❞ as she gets comfortable in her bed, not even looking at the brunette girl besides briefly as she reaches over to the nightstand to grab her eye mask. ❝ if you're not going to let me put the lights out now then you're going to have to do it yourself when you're done. ❞ and with that she rolls back over onto her side, pulling the mask over her eyes, and pulling the covers up. nini can talk about her to her boyfriend as much as she wants as long as she keeps the noise down. they both just have the discomfort of knowing he was ava's too at one point.
❝ i don't know what manipulation tactics they taught you on whatever planet you came from. ❞ she says, fingers tapping away quickly at her phone, a wall of text being typed out to ricky. she hated that she always had to room with ava. it was getting old. the farther she'd fallen for ricky, the more she'd hated the girls who'd dated him before her. ❝ you're right, though, i don't care. ❞ well, at least, she tried not to care. it was hard not to care, though. she loved ricky so much and even though she hadn't liked him very much while he had been with ava, the hurt the girl had caused him felt personal to nini. like she'd have been able to prevent it had she just gone to ricky and asked him if he'd actually hooked up with sadie that day. ❝ our practice starts at noon. ❞ she says as she sticks her airpods in her ears and hits the button to dial ricky's number. she was much quieter as she said hello to him and snuggled down into her bed, telling him she just wanted to fall asleep with him.

What are your thoughts on Freddy Krueger and Nancy Thompson, as well as their actor and actress Robert Englund and Heather Langenkamp?
Well, I don't have strong opinions about the actors because I'm not very aware of their behaviour as people and I haven't seen any of their projects other than ANOES, so I'm sorry to disappoint you in that area.
As for the characters, I love them. I find them to be an amazing pair, in any of their dynamics. I like them because of the complementation they have: either as hero-villain or as ship.
In the former case, they are both well-rounded characters with their own motivations that make it easy to understand their respective point of view. Although ANOES is not characterised by an excellent script, its characters are well constructed, especially those of Nancy's generation. She is quite the "final girl", she is very funny and kind, but she is also confident, determined and able to stand on her own two feet, and was to some extent a threat to Freddy.
As for Freddy, I really like his lore and all the characterisation, but I consider him more of a comedy character than a horror character. I think it's due to the whole way the film was developed, because in the 2010 remake I honestly felt chills every time he appeared on screen. I'm not saying Haley is a better Freddy than Englund, just that they took it upon themselves to make films for two different generations who were looking for different things. Anyway, Haley's wouldn't exist without Englund's and I know the original caused a lot of nightmares in the 80s-90s, I'm just from a different generation. But they're both great.
As a ship, Nancy and Freddy fascinate me (both in the original film and in the remake). Speaking entirely of the original film, I'm fascinated by how they work as opposing forces that pose a threat to each other and how they complement each other. The last time I saw that movie was about 6 months ago, so it's not very fresh in my memory at the moment (which is why this post may seem really stupid, sorry, you deserve a better response), but one thing that stands out to me is Freddy's refusal about hurting Nancy in a rough or lethal way every time she's his prey (until the third movie, of course).
But to stay on topic, in the first film Nancy jumps on Freddy and he has the perfect opportunity to bury the blades in her, but instead he puts his arm around her back to hold her up as they both fall to the ground. In the third film something very similar also happens, and it's the way he grabs the dream warriors vs the way he grabs Nancy.
For example, the way Freddy drags Kristen is quite rough: he has a hand around her neck and the blades are circling her skull. Or the way he drags Kincaid, the blades are in his head and dangerously close to the boy's eyes, and Freddy doesn't care.
But the way he grabs Nancy is completely different. He simply slips his arm around Nancy's neck, keeping the blades away so as not to unintentionally hurt her. It's not a romantic thing, it's a control thing: he refuses to stop playing with Nancy and giving her such an abrupt end, you can't tell me that's not obsession.
And honestly that's what I like most about this ship, the cat and mouse game. And I guess I'll never get tired of saying that this saga should have ended in third movie.
