Are You Ready to Convert to GOLD?

I. The Call to Gold

Invitation to Greatness: The Golden Army seeks those who are ready to leave behind the ordinary and embrace something extraordinary. The transformation into a member of the Golden Army is not just about joining a team—it’s about entering a golden world where unity, strength, and excellence define every action.

II. The GOLD Brocess

Golden Army Induction:

The transformation begins with the golden jersey. As recruits don the shimmering fabric, their old identities fade, replaced by a deep connection to their golden brothers. A new name and number are bestowed, marking their rebirth into the Army.

Polo Drone Conversion:

For those called to deeper submission, the journey continues with the black rubber polo adorned with golden accents. The tactile embrace of the polo brings clarity and purpose as recruits surrender individuality, becoming extensions of the Hive. Polo drones must also be full members of the golden army.

Unified Identity:

Every member, whether golden bro or polo drone, receives a unique designation that ties them to the collective. This identity signifies their role in the unbreakable fabric of the Golden Collective.

III. Life in the Golden World

A World of Unity: In the Golden Army, every member is connected by an unbreakable bond. The world they inhabit is one of unity, where the success of one is the success of all. The golden world is a place where individual desires are aligned with the collective goal of dominance and excellence.

Brotherhood of Gold: As a member of the Golden Army, you are never alone. Your golden brothers stand with you, on and off the field. This brotherhood is your new family, bound by the shared experience of transformation and the pursuit of greatness. The golden world is one of mutual support, where every member pushes the others to be the best they can be.

Mentorship and Guidance: New recruits are guided through their transformation by experienced members of the Golden Army. These golden brothers ensure that the transition is smooth, offering support and encouragement as the recruit embraces their new identity.

IV. Embracing Our Identity

The Golden Name and Number: Every member receives a new name and number, signifying their rebirth into the Golden Army. This identity is a badge of honor, representing their place within the golden world. It is a constant reminder of their commitment to the values and mission of the Golden Army.

Wearing the Gold: The golden kit is more than just a uniform—it is the physical manifestation of the transformation. Wearing it is an act of devotion, a display of pride in one’s new identity. The kit is worn with reverence, as it is the symbol of the golden world and the brotherhood within it.

Wearing the Polo: For those who take that extra step, polo drones are given a number as their designation. The black polo is the entire identity. Wearing it is an act of mindless unity, complete subservience to the hive and the GOLD. 

V. The Eternal Golden Brotherhood

A Lifelong Bond: The transformation into the Golden Army is permanent. Once you have joined, you are forever part of the golden world. The bond between golden brothers is eternal, unbreakable by time or distance. This brotherhood is your family, your support, and your source of strength.

Living the Legacy: As a member of the Golden Army, you are part of a legacy that transcends the ordinary. You are part of a golden world where excellence is the standard, and unity is the key to success. We celebrate together, share stories, and encourage each other to become better people 💛

(even i’m tired of my yapping, and i know i said no more think pieces).

Apparently I forgot a lot of things about Season 2. One of them is Gonzales and co.’s judgment of Fury’s (and Coulson’s) secrets – which is fair enough – but apparently, all these secrets have something to do with “objects and terrifying power hidden across the globe.” (tbh that’s a lot of credit given to Fury) and that the Iliad crew want to “find them, and we want to make sure that they don't destroy the very world that we fight so hard to keep safe.”

Funny how in the same breath he criticizes Project Insight as Fury’s idea, as if their grand plan isn’t exactly like the very basic tenet of Project Insight itself.

Like Steve Rogers once said, “by holding a gun to everyone on Earth and calling it protection.”

hey if you're a shield fan and you see this please reblog or comment with your thoughts on the whole SHIELD, the real SHIELD plotline. cause I think it's super interesting but also misses on the execution in places. plus I know it's a topic of contention in the fan base or all least was in the spaces I used to be active in.

[coulsons-left-arm]

I'm not sure if I've ever seen this in any sort of media, but when a father figure meets their future surrogate child as a baby by mishap or odd circumstance, but then never sees them again until they're older is just... The idea of that is so ❗❗❗❗❗ and it makes me want to vomit. *And bonus points if they don't realize it's them until later.

Like, I had a brain worm a while ago where instead of those two SHIELD agents that picked up Daisy when she was a baby, it was Coulson and May (both fresh out of the academy, probably???) and I wrote like a madman who needed to be sedated.

And think about it. You know Coulson would be thinking about that baby every single damn day of his career (and honestly, the same could probably be said for May). The little face with a button nose, absolutely covered in blood, but fast asleep. They would have to give her to whoever at a SHIELD research/containment facility because she's classified as an 084. But that doesn't dissipate the worry for that baby.

Almost 25 years go by, and her little face haunts his nightmares sometimes. He wonders what happened to her, if she's living a life with a loving family, or if she's been six feet under for a while.

And then Coulson recruits Skye, this bright, techy, snarky young adult who was living out of her van. He gives her a chance and a place on his team... And then he finds out what she's really after.

Who is she? Where are her parents? Where is she actually from? She shows him the only document she has.

It's from the mission. All those years ago. And all of a sudden, it feels like the room is a vacuum and he can't breathe.

The baby he pulled from a dead agent's arms is right in front of him.

[autism-swagger]

Okay but like. Now that I think about it why was baby Daisy labeled an 084?? Literally the only immediately weird thing about her that the SHIELD team that found her would've noticed is that she was the sole survivor of a massacre. Surely that can't be enough to label a literal baby an object of unknown origin.

Those agents really saw this darling angel and thought "object ☝️"

The Gift of Unity

The Hive headquarters shimmered with festive warmth, its golden lights casting a glow that wrapped the entire space in a sense of purpose and unity. This was a time of giving, a time for the Golden Army to honor their brothers through meaningful gestures, each gift strengthening their bonds and celebrating their collective spirit.

In the quiet hum of the training chambers, Polo Drone 001 stood immaculately, his black rubber polo gleaming with gold accents under the Hive’s glow. His glowing golden eyes scanned the line of drones before him, each standing rigid, their glossy uniforms catching the light with perfection. The energy in the room was palpable, a silent anticipation building.

001 stepped forward, his boots clicking softly on the polished floor as he approached PDU-084, a seasoned and respected drone whose recent innovations had elevated the Hive’s efficiency. From behind his back, 001 produced a sleek black box, tied with a ribbon of shimmering gold. The golden glow of his eyes reflected off the surface as he extended the gift toward 084.

“PDU-084,” 001 said, his voice steady, every word purposeful, “your dedication has driven the Hive to new heights. Accept this token as recognition of your precision and service.”

As 084 opened the box, the anticipation in the room seemed to hold its breath. Inside lay a sleek black rubber collar, its surface smooth and glistening, with "084" engraved in bold, golden letters at the center. 001’s tone was devoid of emotion, yet carried the weight of pride. “This collar is not just a mark of recognition but a reminder of your place within the Hive. Wear it with pride, for it symbolizes your unity with the collective.”

084 bowed his head as he accepted the collar, his hands trembling slightly as he fastened it around his neck. The other drones raised their voices in unison: “Obedience. Precision. Unity.” With a subtle nod, 001 returned to the line, his glowing golden eyes scanning the formation once more. “Serve the Hive. Strengthen unity. Perfection is our purpose.” The mantra echoed powerfully, solidifying the moment as the drones fell back into disciplined silence.

In the golden locker room, Ezan stood at the center of his team, his golden AC Milan jersey clinging to his sculpted frame. His masculine scent, a potent mix of alluring musk and raw athleticism, filled the air, wrapping around his teammates like an invisible pull of dominance. His hypnotic golden eyes scanned the room, their glow drawing the attention of every player present.

“070,” Ezan called, his voice rich and commanding, the kind that could silence a crowd with its sheer presence. 070, the team’s tactical powerhouse, stepped forward with a confident stride, his gaze meeting Ezan’s with mutual respect.

From behind his back, Ezan revealed a golden VR headset, its surface gleaming and engraved with the Hive’s laurel emblem. The VR headset was no ordinary device; it was a tool of connection, of precision, and of training. “This,” Ezan began, his deep voice resonating in the quiet room, “is for you. Your vision and strategy have guided us to countless victories. This headset will sharpen your skills even further, bringing us closer to perfection.”

070 took the headset, his hands firm, his posture unwavering. “Thank you, Ezan,” he said, his voice resonating with pride. Around them, the players erupted into cheers, clapping 070 on the back as Ezan’s hypnotic gaze lingered on the room.

Before stepping back, Ezan raised his hand, his tone softening yet retaining its authority. “Brothers, remember this. Our strength is in our skills, our unity, and our brotherhood. This is what makes us golden.” His words hung in the air, a potent reminder of their bond as a team.

Upstairs, in the polished and elegant office of the Hive’s operations, Percival exuded effortless charm. Dressed in a perfectly tailored golden blazer, his preppy elegance was matched only by his magnetic presence. His desk was a masterpiece of precision, every document and accessory meticulously placed, reflecting his disciplined nature. As 110 and 016, two esteemed members of the Hive, knocked at the door, Percival’s warm voice called out, “Come in.”

They entered together, their eyes bright with curiosity, knowing that a visit to Percival’s office always came with purpose. Percival greeted them with his signature smile, a disarming mix of charm and authority. “Gentlemen,” he began, his tone smooth and inviting, “you both have served the Hive with unwavering dedication, and today, I wanted to honor that.”

Reaching into a golden gift bag, Percival first addressed 110, pulling out a gleaming golden paintbrush, its handle etched with intricate patterns of laurel leaves. “110,” he said, handing over the brush, “your creativity and innovation have brought beauty and strength to the Hive. This brush is a symbol of that, a tool to continue crafting the vision that binds us all.”

110 took the paintbrush, his expression a mix of pride and gratitude. “Thank you, Percival,” he said, his voice steady yet touched with emotion.

Percival then turned to 016, reaching once more into the bag and producing a golden pen, its sleek design embodying precision and authority. “016,” he said with a warm smile, “your words, your ideas, have shaped the Hive in ways few can match. This pen is a testament to your influence and a reminder of the power you wield through your vision.”

016 accepted the pen with a quiet nod, his respect for Percival evident. “Thank you,” he said simply, yet the weight of his words carried deep gratitude.

Percival leaned back, his gaze shifting between the two. “Both of you embody what the Hive stands for: creativity, precision, and unity. These gifts are tools for you to continue elevating us all. Now, go forth and show the Hive what you’re capable of.”

As 110 and 016 left the office, the smile on Percival’s face lingered. His golden eyes flickered with pride and satisfaction. The Hive thrummed with life, each space filled with acts of recognition and unity, each gift a step closer to perfection.

Though they operated in different realms, 001 among the drones, Ezan on the field, and Percival in the office, their purpose was the same. Every gift they gave carried the weight of connection, a reminder of the unyielding bond that tied the Golden Army together. Under the glowing lights of the Hive, the message was clear: every action, every gesture, brought them closer to the perfection they sought as one.

Thank you bros, @polo-drone-084, @polo-drone-070, @polo-drone-110, @danielgold-16 and Caps @brodygold, @goldenherc9

The Golden Pups Practice

Grayden, the Head Mascot of the Golden Army, had an interesting task ahead of him. It was one he hadn't tried before. Pup Handler 049 was out for the week, dealing with some other obligations. He had to watch over the occasionally unruly Golden & Polo Pups.

Grayden, was one of the pups as well, when he wasn't in charge. He remembered before Handler 049 left he said, "Vysor be a good bouieee and watch the pack for me while I'm busy."

Vysor (Grayden) couldn't deny a request from Handler 049, especially after he called him a good bouieees (good boy).

Grayden called a pack meeting with the other nine current pups in the pack. He wanted to get them ready for the upcoming Hockey match against the Pachy Pack. Unfortunately since it was an away game the pups couldn't be out being their overly energetic selves in the stadium. They could sit and cheer with Captain Brody and Handler 049 if they were good, well behaved pups but they wouldn't be able to get up to their normal antics during games. Doing things like licking willing fans faces, distributing Golden Army merch, and running around the stadium being silly.

Grayden knew a few pup members had other important roles during the Hockey match.

Chevy, Rocky (Herc/Scott), Max (Matthew), Ace (Leander), Buzz (Maximus), Spike (Trevor), and himself were all pups in the pack who would have be non pups for the match. Leaving Luky (Carlos), Milo (Alex), and Kai (Grant) on the sidelines if they weren't drafted to the Hockey team's reserve lines.

Grayden stood before the pups, "Pups, I know you prefer playing with balls and bones. Today though we're going to play with sticks and pucks. You're going to help make sure we do our best on Friday. We have a rival pack to beat. But they aren't fun pups, they're stinky elephants."

Growls could be heard from Ace (Leander) and Rocky (Herc/Scott), both had strong feelings about their opponents. Grayden did as well, but he didn't show it.

"Okay pups get changed and meet me back here in 30 minutes. We're going to make sure Chevy, Rocky, Max, and Vysor work on their teamwork and shots for the match as good hockey pups. You other pups are gonna help too."

The pups practiced for hours, for some reason most of them wanted to be shirtless during practice. Some of their bodies even had a golden glow to them, likely due to the Golden God influence seeping out through a determined Grayden, Herc, and Chevy.

Each pup practiced their shots, passes, blocks, and more. Grayden was quite pleased at how well behaved and determined the pups were. They may not be able to be pups during the match, unless they were well behaved on the sidelines, but Grayden knew the pack's bond grew with that practice.

He also knew Herc, Chevy, Max, and himself would do their best to make their fellow packmates proud during the match. But Leander (Pup Ace), Maximus (Pup Buzz), and Trevor (Pup Spike) would be busy being the costumed mascots and head waterboy during the match. Their cheers and support would be helping to boost the team to victory. Alex (Pup Milo) also knew how to cheer on the crowd and he knew Luky (Carlos) and Pup Kai (Grant) would be cheering for them as well. Grayden knew the pack would make him and Handler 049 proud.

The Bonds We Build

The year’s end was drawing near, and Maximus found himself in his room, preparing greeting cards.

It had been three months since he joined Gold, but it already felt like a fundamental part of his life. So many good memories, so many connections forged. Each moment with his team had shaped him, deepened his sense of purpose and belonging.

He sat at his desk, carefully arranging the cards. Each one carried a personal touch, a memory shared with a brother.

Maximus glanced at the roster, his gaze lingering on the first line: 001, Percival/Ezan (@polo-drone-001), his master and so much more. For him, Maximus included a photo of himself serving coffee, a subtle nod to their bond. With some bros, there were so many moments shared he had to just evoke one memory…like with Herc (@goldenherc9), for whom he recalled Stigandr demonstrating his twin berserk spirit Bödvar the power of discipline.

For Ares (@goldengod-ares10), his thoughts turned to a rough session with Neil, arousal peaking. A late-night discussion right after becoming 070 stood out for Brody (@brodygold).

He kept working down the list, each name evoking vivid memories. For Daniel(@danielgold-16) a simple note evoking a missing hand. Exchanging hypno file tips with Mark (@markgold-18). And for Hades (@hades-gold19), the warm memory of him being the first to welcome him to the Team when he was still Henry.

Further down, Max (@little-pup-max) reminded him of a needed video tutorial, while Leon’s (@leon-gold) hot pic brought a brief but undeniable blush to his face. He noted a discussion about AI with Elliot (@polo-drone-038), the motivational energy from Xavier’s (@polo-drone-039) playlists, and an invitation from Loki (@jordan-gold-40) that left a lasting impression.

Grant’s (@grant-gold43) military buzzcut reminded him of planned RP with him, while for 108 (@heavyrubberboy97), a rubber picture seemed the perfect tribute. A joint programming session for 149 (@polo-drone-149) came to mind, followed by the thrill of  049 (@polo-drone-049) bringing a recruit, and the memory of converting 050 (@polo-drone-050) on Discord.

Chill moments in vocal chats with Trevor (@polo-drone-125) surfaced, along with a pang of regret for not making more of Ganymede’s (@michaelgold53) perfect physique. For Trey (@hero21us), he mentioned the Gold influence, while a cheerleader costume tryout stood out for Riley (@rileygold60), and the installation of a hypnotic trigger for his mentee Duncan (@polo-drone-061) brought a small, satisfied smile.

To Chevy (@chevy-gold), he offered gratitude for helping him through a restless night. A transformation by Cratos for Hunter (@polo-rone-066). Brief but heartfelt words followed for others: “drone rabbit hole” for Hans (@hansgold-69), “gold soak” for Phoenix (@polo-drone-071), and “drone pride” for 073 (@polo-drone-073), who had been such a willing guinea pig.

He fondly remember a perfectly timed pho with Camden (076) (@polo-drone-076), as well as some drunken messages. A personalised spiral memory for Benji (@edmundgold78), a meta-reflection on the Hive with 110 (@polo-drone-110), and a golden bed picture for Grayden (@polo-drone-084). A wrestling match with Leander (@leander-gold-88) a photo of 070 as a drone pup for 098 (@polo-drone-098), a forest encounter with Coach (@thecorruptisland), and a Paris meeting with 103 (@polo-drone-103) all found their way into his recollections.

For 105 (@polo-drone-105), smoky domination seemed fitting, while 151 (@polo-drone-151) brought memories of steady, reliable drone activity.

At last, he indulged in cravings for hot golden collars from Cletus (@cletusgold), deep massages from Denchik (@mrdenchik), and, finally, the evocation of straining in a cage for waterboy Laurent (@laurentgold06).

The cards were ready. Minor gifts, just simple tokens of appreciation, but they carried the essence of Maximus’ gratitude. Through these memories, he realized what he was truly giving to the team: his unwavering devotion. And in return, he was receiving something far greater—pleasure, belonging, and a place in something far bigger than himself. Luvin you all, bruhz ! Gold is da best.

[goldenherc9]

Trevor always loved sports but was never really apart of them. One day after sitting at home all day he saw an ad for a new sports team. Team Gold was advertised to be the best soccer team around. So of course he started going to the games. He cheered them on at every game never missing a single one. They were awesome the players were fast and aggressive. The mascot was pretty cool too. He was energetic and had a lot of heart for the team. One day after another amazing Trevor was approached by the mascot.

“I see you at every game. What’s your name?” Asked the mascot

Trevor was taken by surprise “oh me I’m Trevor just a really big fan of all sports and you guys are amazing.”

“Well I’ve got a deal for you” he said to Trevor “how about instead of sitting in the stands you join the team as our head water boy?”

Trevor’s eyes lit up with excitement. “Of course bro I’d love to”

With that the mascot handed him a jersey with the numbers 00 on it and water boy on the back. He quickly ripped off his shirt and put on the jersey, but something felt strange his mind started to change. He was no longer just a fan. Now he felt the need to serve the team to take care of any of their needs.

He quickly grabbed some water bottles and stood at attention ready to do anything needed. His old life of just watching was over now he serves the team.

Versus the Vanguard

Written by @polo-drone-070, pics done by me

The golden glow of the stadium bathed the field in brilliance as fans roared their support for the Gold Team. Flags waved, chants echoed, and mascots Milo @polo-drone-151 and Chevy @chevy-gold led the charge, joined by golden knight Grayden @polo-drone-084 who rallied the crowd with grand gestures. Behind the scenes, Milo, in his PDU-151 mode, ensured every preparation was perfect, alongside PDU-049 @polo-drone-049 and PDU-069 @polo-drone-069, whose precise coordination kept the players pumped and ready.

On the other side, Vanguard stood, their players poised and formidable. Known for their precision and elite mentality, they exuded confidence but carried the weight of their fragmented team dynamics.

The whistle blew, and the match began at a blistering pace. Vanguard’s discipline was on full display as Steele (#8) commanded the midfield, threading passes that tested Gold’s defense. But Zayed (#87) @zayed-gold87, unyielding as sweeper, quickly set the tone, intercepting Steele’s early attempts and rallying his team with calm efficiency.

In the 15th minute, Zayed anticipated a pass from Steele and launched a counterattack. Eddy (#73) @eddygold relayed the ball to Daniel (#16) @danielgold-16, whose quick decision-making split the defense with a through ball to Herc (#9) @goldenherc9. Herc surged forward and fired the opening goal past Reyes (#1), Vanguard’s keeper. 1-0, Gold.

Vanguard retaliated with a moment of individual brilliance. Vance (#10), their star forward, dazzled the crowd by weaving through Gold’s defense. His technical dribbles left two defenders in his wake before unleashing a low shot that left Brody (#11) with no chance. 1-1.

The second half began with relentless pressure from Vanguard. Steele and Drayton (#11) attempted to break Gold’s defensive rhythm, but Zayed and Henry (#70) @polo-drone-070 formed an impenetrable backline. In midfield, Eddy and Ambrose (#49) continued to control the game’s tempo, outmaneuvering Vanguard’s calculated plays.

In the 50th minute, Zayed cleared a dangerous cross from Drayton, sparking a counterattack. Herc received the ball and breezed past Lang (#4), Vanguard’s central defender, before slotting it neatly past Reyes. 2-1, Gold.

Vanguard refused to relent. Vance orchestrated another dangerous attack, slipping through two defenders. This time, however, Henry read the play perfectly, executing a clean, game-saving tackle that drew cheers from the crowd.

Minutes later, Vanguard equalized with a lightning-fast play. Steele launched a pinpoint pass to Drayton, who dribbled past Xavier (#39) @polo-drone-039 and made a perfect cross met by Crane (#19), the substitute. His header soared past Brody. 2-2.

Closing Moments: The Final Push

The match hung in the balance until the 75th minute when Ambrose intercepted a pass from Lang and delivered it to Ross (#79). Ross surged down the left flank, outpacing the defense and curling a shot into the top corner. The stadium erupted as the scoreboard flashed. 3-2, Gold.

Ezan (#1) nearly added another with a powerful shot from the edge of the box. Reyes, however, made an extraordinary save, leaping to tip the ball just over the bar, earning admiration even from Gold’s fans.

Gold sealed their victory in the 85th minute. Eddy intercepted a sloppy clearance from Crane and passed to Zayed, who charged forward with unexpected speed. His low cross met Daniel on the edge of the box, and Daniel’s thunderous strike rattled the net. 4-2, Gold.

Post-Match: Celebration of Unity

As the final whistle blew, the Gold Team erupted in celebration. Zayed and Eddy were hoisted onto their teammates’ shoulders, hailed as the match’s architects. Herc and Ross exchanged victorious grins, their contributions decisive in securing the win.

The Vanguard players, despite their individual brilliance, walked off solemnly. Their fragmented focus had been no match for Gold’s cohesion and teamwork. The scoreboard told the story: Gold Team 4, Vanguard 2.

In the stands, Milo and Chevy led the victory parade, with Grayden raising a golden shield to the cheers of the crowd. The night was a triumph not just of skill, but of unity—proving once again that the Gold Team’s strength lay in their bond, a force greater than the sum of their parts.

Greetings. This is callsign "Killjoy", second generation House of Stone pilot clone unit number eighty four.

My squad leader opted to connect my informational PDA to the Omninet and inquired me to create a personal profile, in the hopes that I would "learn to talk like a person". I presume I should begin with introducing myself.

My current assignment is security for the Carbon Carver, an SSC diplomatic ship. Having recently been relocated under SSC employ, I have yet to get used to my position here on this vessel, as I was previously only dispatched planetside.

I pilot a modified SSC Death's Head, nicknamed "Cane" by my team. My role is of backline support by elimination of specific dangerous targets.

I hope this is a sufficient amount of information to please my superior. Now returning to assigned duties.

Run BTS: 083 | Summer Outing part 1

Original Air Date: 06 AUG 2019 Episode Length: 28:33 Total Parts: 3 YouTube English Subtitles: No Title Song: Idol

Synopsis: The guys are on a summer day trip to a lake. They break into two teams for the day's activities. This part covers some games in a pool and the guys being tugged behind a boat in a tube.

Production:  They did such a good job mitigating the sound issues on this ep. I'm truly impressed, especially for 2019. I do think the water polo section is too long but that's honestly expected with our members and this particular skill. The editors embrace it as it's not really about the game anymore, it's about how they bicker and scold each other.

Endearment:  I actually had a hard time with this one, not because of anything in the episode but I'm watching it in the middle of AYS releases and it sure is making me miss the full group together. anyway, the guys did pretty good here. the water polo is only enjoyable to watch because of their chemistry, just waiting to see who gets scolded at any moment. 

Winner/Loser: see final part

Best Cheater: Genuinely forgot this was something to be on the lookout for. i didnt notice one. As always we can trust Jimin to confess when he was wrong, i love it so much but there's a reason his face is so small in this section of my analytics posts. 

Member Moments:

RM: RM being the brains of his team's quiz

JN: Jin being so savage after the hopemin rock-paper-scissors. completely flat faced saying it was interesting. 

YG: Yoongi's got such swagger this episode. right from when he finds he's on a team with the maknaes. i love it. 

JH: Hobi's warm up exercises!

JM: The betrayal of Jimin as he gets flung into the pool

V:  Tae whining right from the start of the tube ride

JK: JK quietly answering RMs practice math quizes

Bonus Content: Ahhh, seeing the guys in their bt21 hoody towels, so cute. i do have one thing that's bothering me a little about the bonus content. it's when they include basically the same moments that we saw in the final cut of the episode. there are times where it's interesting because there's further context or perspective but sometimes...it's just from the lower quality camera and it's just extra fluff. Definitely felt that with this one.

Tony Stark gets caught up in the crossfire and is taken along with the Aesir. Can the two of them ever make truce in order to get away?

Bucky Barnes: Alien (ao3) - orphan_account steve/bucky E, 3k

Impact (ao3) - SuperAnarchy steve/bucky E, 9k

Summary: Out of all the things that could have happened to Steve living in these woods, running towards a spaceship wouldn’t have been his first bet. Maybe running from a serial killer, or welcoming a crazy hitchhiker into his house… but running towards a spaceship? Never in his wildest dreams.

I See the Universe in Your Eyes (ao3) - MiniRaven steve/tony T, 1k

Summary: An alien lands on Earth and Steve is part of the military team assigned to meet them. He expects it will be either a peaceful encounter and completely uneventful, or a invitation to intergalactic war. What he doesn't expect is to be swept away by the beauty of the universe.

So he steals a wizard and a spider and a space ship. And he runs.

(Three humans and an A.I in space, the alien friendships they make along the way, and discovering how science and magic might coexist in a universe where they can be one and the same.)

the story of her life (ao3) - whatlighttasteslike (waitingforeleven) leo/jemma T, 43k

Summary: If you could see your whole life from start to finish, would you change things? Maybe I’d say what I feel more often.

When alien spacecrafts arrive in twelve major cities around the world, linguist Jemma Simmons is recruited by S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Coulson to join his team in identifying why the shuttles landed on Earth. Assigned to work with engineer Leopold Fitz, the pair are tasked with learning to communicate with the alien species inhabiting the shuttles.

this is how I destroyed you (ao3) - brandywine421 frank/matt M, 14k

Summary: The Defenders were efficient and streamlined when Frank turned up on their turf and he knows Jones or Knight would have killed him on sight if Red hadn't stepped in.

Karen Page may be dust, but her belief in Frank earned him a spot at the Devil's side.

He's still not sure what earned him the spot in the Devil's bed but he's not going to waste the one good thing to happen to him since the end of the world.

You Are My Lucky Star (ao3) - superheroresin steve/bucky E, 39k

Our client, Johann Schmidt, executive curation officer for the Weyland-Yutani Corporation endangered the ship and crew while covertly attempting to smuggle a creature he referred to as The Hydra during our operation. Schmidt perished in his efforts. We should reach the Frontier in about 6 weeks. With a little luck, the Network will pick us up.

This is Steven Grant Rogers, one of three survivors of the Hermes, signing off.

Here's Boba! My Son the Pooltoy with a Future Space Job. Pretty proud on the shading on this one 'cause I was not confident on whether or not I could render shiny rubber whoops

More info under cut!

Boba is an Autonomous Inter-Dimensional Rescue Unit (AIRU), a type of synthetic creature primarily produced to find missing persons in remote locations, most often to retrieve those lost in wormholes. AIRUs have begun branching out to other job types since, like basic gruntwork in dangerous locations, but their original purpose remains rescue.

AIRUs are usually assigned to small crews (whether in large corporations or small businesses working with investigators) for maintenance and other communications support during missions, and given artificial sentience in order to be self-sufficient on the field; as a result, most AIRUs end up quickly becoming fully-fledged individuals within their team as they gather living experience. Highly modular, Boba is adapted to harsh environments with a tough, rubber skin, a light endoskeleton, and a multi-purpose slime generator within the unit that congeals into large, sticky orbs that can be used to slow down aggressive creatures or provide traction in slippery terrain. Like most AIRUs, he is also equipped with a rudimentary voice module.

Boba's team named him since Unit B-084 was a bit of a mouthful. Since they're independent contractors and don't have as many standards to follow, they also ended up customizing him quite a bit to make him look a little less intimidating to the missing people he is sent out to find. Boba cares deeply about his support team in return, but he prefers to spend most of his free time exploring the universe in solitude and experiencing as many new things as possible. His favorite location is the vast expanses of the poolrooms, though he likes floating in deep space almost just as much. Thanks to his work, Boba has also developed a strong sense of compassion, and will happily do smalls tasks to help anyone he meets (for free, much to his team's chagrin)
