Finally got around to watching Thor Love and Thunder.

I gotta say I kinda hate the new direction they are going with Thor now. When they first added humor to his character it was great! Except now they are painting him as some man who can’t rub two brain cells together.

Like the way he demolishes that world sacred temple without any consideration or remorse after like. Is he stupid now? Is that all he is? He can’t be serious at all now?

Also Jane coming back was weird and sort of pointless. Like she came back for what? To clear up why she left?? Also the whole montage of them dating was weiiird. It’s like all of it was tying so hard to be funny that it just turned bad.

I liked the possibility of him having a kid, but again, not if it’s going to be done as a shit joke. Like him taking her into full on war at age what 6? 10? Not here for it.

And now what we've got Zeus and Hercules to go up against??? Would have been more fun to see other Norse gods but okay. Feels like it’s reaching for a reason to keep going.

All in all the best part was Matt Damon coming back haha

🥳 and ✨ pleasee

🥳 Why did you start writing fanfic?

I think I started writing fanfic in my senior year in college. I was in the midst of a very traumatic breakup and something about jumping into a different reality was very appealing at the time. I'd always loved to write, and been unhealthily obsessed with HP, and so it flowed from there. Now I just really enjoy it as a hobby, though there's always a bit of escapism in it, I think.

I think my fanfic reading gateway might've been TLAT? I read that and was like omg, people are posting these masterpieces for FREE?? Still feel that way tbh.

✨️ Out of the comments you’ve received on your fics, what are two or three of your favorites?

Oh wow I love this question, diving into my AO3 inbox is such a joy. It is my greatest shame that I am NOTORIOUSLY bad at responding to comments, so if you've ever left me a comment please know it was read and so very appreciated.

From @whatthefawkes, who has left so many lovely comments, this one in particular on Come Stay for the Summer makes me really happy:

This will sound absolutely silly, but whenever I need a pick me up, I come to reread this (spoiler alert: I've lost count of how many times I reread it). This fanfic is, for sure, my favorite Harry/Ginny AU of all time. I adore how you describe every single of the characters, their friendship, how they fall in love, and everything. Really, everything. I don't have enough words to say how amazing this is and how thankful I'm that you shared it.

The idea that people would return to something I've written for a pick-me-up brings me so much joy - it makes me think of all the ways we affect one another without even knowing it, and all the times that other people have made me feel better with their writing.

From @the-dream-team, who also has graced my inbox with SO MANY LOVELY AMAZING WORDS, but this one in particular on She Did:

Okay, you’re making it way too hard to choose a favorite chapter now!! What the heck!!! I think I might have died and gone to heaven reading this one!!! If I were to copy and paste every incredible line that I fell head over heels in love with, you’d just be rereading this entire chapter in the comment section xD But I’ll try!!! “I’m right here,” James pointed out with a smirk. “I’m meant to be champagne, aren’t I?” Ahavgxsjambdhdus STOP THAT OMG “She could feel his smile spread out beneath her fingers and she wondered if she could pocket it for later.” Shut the heck up this is a perfect line, I’m obsessed. “She wanted his bubbly champagne sunshine, so that she might bask in his warmth, like a needy little plant in his garden.” This is so beautiful and is such a lovely visual and perfectly shows her desperation to find some light in all the darkness around her oooof it hurts my heart but James IS champaign!! He really is and it’s amazing seeing these two get to this place together <3 The piggy back rides had me absolutely feral ohmyfuckinggod. These kids are too much!! My heart is bursting with love for them!! They’ve been on such a journey!! And it’s so lovely seeing them end up where they belong :’)

You know when you tinker over a few lines to try to get them just right, to try to capture the exact feeling you want to portray? And then you secretly love those few lines, and hope that they affect people the way you wanted them to? And then some queen goes and hand picks those exact lines to tell you how much they loved them? Inject that feeling into my veins.

Okay so like, idk if I’ve spoken about it but my mcu rewrite will have a whole different phase 4 and a saga between ‘infinity’ and ‘multiverse’. And that’s time. Because I’m able to tie it to both and I want more build up before the multiverse is explored.

I’ve not smoothed out all of the wrinkles, but I know how it’s gonna start and end.

Warning: this contains small spoilers for Wakanda forever and other Phase four movies and shows, be mindful as you read and avoid mentions of anything you don’t want spoilers for

Wandavision, and most of the other series we got, will still apply, and hopefully I will be able to use them to show the after affects of the Blip a little, because Ahh that shits spooky. Loki has changes, including with how it deals with the idea of ‘why was the avengers time travelling okay?’.

With that, the idea was that it wasn’t okay, it wasn’t meant to happen, it was something that He Who Remains didn’t predict and found amusing, he wanted to see how that story played out (despite knowing the risks of what it could cause), and he allowed the timeline to continue running to see where it went. The TVA agents wanted to do something about it, but they couldn’t, so they lie to themselves and claim it as part of his ‘big plan’. They try to do damage control with Loki and such to make up for it

The show ends with the freedom of the timelines, and they run rampant, the repercussions of which creates the Kang timeline, and allows him to have full reign over wherever, and whenever he wants to go. Big big issue, though thankfully he ends up stuck in the quantum realm trying to timeline hop, but that’s a temporary issue.

Ideally Black Widow will be a film that I do much earlier in my rewrite and it shall not be part of this phase/saga.

Wakanda Forever still deals with the concept of time whilst not directly contributing to the timeline mess. I have decided to have it follow T’Challa (all respect to Chadwick Boseman and his passing, I’m thankful the mcu changed route with it as there is no one that would be able to replace what he did with the character), and the idea of lost time with his son, and trying to make up for it throughout the course of the film. A big struggle would be trying to deal with Namor whilst also fighting to spend every last moment with his son, and knowing it’s best to send him away where he won’t be impacted by the fighting.

Thor:Love and Thunder probably won’t have anything to do with the timeline stuff, but will be introducing Gaia as his birth mother. Because Timeline saga? Pfft, nah, parental trauma saga. Frigga is still respected as his mother, as she raised him and was his mother in every aspect aside from birth, but Gaia is there to explain why, despite the fact that Thor should’ve logically lost his power with the destruction of Asgard (as Hela did), he didn’t. Because he’s as tied to earth as he is tied to his home. And, for anyone wondering about this change, it’s comic accurate (technically *was*, as they changed his mother to FireHair in the comics but there are many writers that ignore this and so I have the balls to ignore it too, because Gaia being his mother was not only a really cool concept but also funny for me because… well the family tree gets a little complicated and also means he’s technically related to multiple avengers (comics-wise)

More on TLAT, I’m changing up the whole ‘storm breaker used to open the thing to eternity’ because it’s way too specific, it’ll be that the power of an elder god must be channelled, and Gaia will have blessed Thor earlier on in the film with some of her power, and Storm Breaker draws it’s power from Thor, so technicalities make it work. I have a lot of thoughts about TLAT and the inclusion of Elder Gods in the MCU as a whole. Especially when taking MOM and WV into consideration in the Elder God conversation, as both of those films explore both directly and indirectly an elder god and the creator of them (Cthon- Wanda draws power from, The Demiurge- Created America’s planet pre-retcon, both are somehow involved in both WV and MOM).

And talking about MOM, Ahhh… so much shall be changed, but important thing, it’s not about the multiverse anymore, and won’t include America. I’m leaving her until later on, when I can get more wriggle room to do the Demiurge thing. Also because the fact that she doesn’t recognise the Minimoffs when she sees them was a scam and I will remove her entirely if needed. Instead, I’m replacing it with an entirely different film.

Wanda is getting hunted by demons, who force her out of hiding after WestView. Strange intends on taking justice against her originally, but when he realises how much danger she is in, and will bring to any facility that tries to hold her because of her being hunted, he decides to save her a little bit first, but makes sure she knows she will be punished accordingly once all is done. Throughout the film Wanda would try and meddle with Steven’s love life, pushing him to ask out Christine and the likes because she won’t be alive forever, something will get her eventually, and she doesn’t have the protection against Illness, age and violence that Steven does. He shuts her advice down every time. They bond, and Strange begins to try and adjust the punishments she may get. She did bad things, she deserves punishment, but she already knows she did something wrong, and she needs major help, so whilst she will get punishment, it’ll be more suited to ensuring she doesn’t do it again, and getting her to give to the world in kindness what she’s given in rage. And then they realise why the demons were being sent to her at all, and Wanda almost accepts her fate. Strange doesn’t think death suitable for her, and I’m trying to stop the demons, gets hurt. And, again, they’ve bonded, and trying to protect her friend, Wanda accidentally draws from Cthon a little too much to decimate the man that summoned the demons to begin with. She flees, fearing what she’s done, and the film ends with Strange going back to Wong in attempts to get him to help him find where Wanda ran off to.

I spent a long time on MOM… wow. Anyways.

I don’t have much to say for the Eternals or for Shang Chi. I will need to rewatch them both. Same for most of the series, actually.

One change in particular for She-Hulk, have it a mostly lawyer show, a little longer, disregard the weird ‘people trying to get her blood’ thing since the conclusion was quite literally scrapped anyways. And have her visit a psychologist after she shows off that she’s She-Hulk (because the Sokovia/Transia Accords - I’m swapping Sokovia for Transia for comic accuracy - are still in place and dictate that anyone with registered abilities must attend regular therapy sessions for the first six months of their power developing/being registered to ensure emotional and mental stability.). And Jen’s psychologist will be one Rebecca Kaplan, because if I’m building up to the Young Avengers, I’m putting my whole ass into it.

No way home will also be pushed to a later date simply because…. That’s multiverse shit, not touching it yet. (Will still make sure it happens at an appropriate time)

I’ll get to talking about the saga as a whole layer, and all, but these are my Phase Four plans so far :)

i literally couldn't take a single second of thor 4 seriously coz any time gorr appeared on screen i remembered "atheist bale" and started cry laughing coz of this fucking meme

[the-maidofmischief]

sapphics found dead in the theatre

[osthejukeboxgod]

List of things from Thor: love and thunder that drive me insane:

1)giving Zeus an Italian accent.

3) korg and Dwayne.

4)giving Zeus an Italian accent.

3) it's not lady Thor!!!!! ITS THE MIGHTY THOR!!!!!

King Valkyrie 👑 just became a catalyst to the Greek lady’s bisexual awakening 😌

[woulddieforwandamaximoff]

I can’t stop thinking about the fight scene in the Shadow Realm. That scene ate so much up. 

The black and white only ever briefly interrupted by the lightning from Stormbreaker, Mjolnir, and Thunderbolt. Gorr using EVERY BIT OF HIS POWER to fight three of the greatest warriors in the universe. His prior monologue which had me on the edge of my seat, terrified. THOR ODINSON. KING VALKYRIE.

DOCTOR JANE FUCKING FOSTER. 

MY GOSH DO I LOVE THAT SCENE

Thor becoming a malewife wasn't on my 2022 bingo card but here we are I guess

i’m usually not a fan of the “love conquers all”trope ngl. i think it can be really corny, and writers frequently take it as an easy way out when they’ve written the good guy into an otherwise inescapable corner. but i really, really loved the way it was executed in thor: love and thunder. because “love” wasn’t some mystical and otherworldly force that vanquished the evil whether the villain liked it or not. love conquered all in the end because everyone chose love. thor chose his love for jane over what would have been a futile attempt to save his own life. gorr chose his love for his daughter over his hatred of the gods. jane and thor chose to love gorr’s daughter rather than hate her for who she descended from. love is a choice, not an unstoppable force, and yet it’s genuinely more powerful that way

[the-martyrfication-of-the-matron]

I’m not sure how long my ‘time travel saga’ would be but it would start with a phase of just like.. street-level stuff. The defenders, maybe some spiderman if I can find an excuse for it, TFaTWS, She-Hulk but it’s just a funky lawyer show bar the daredevil episode. Mostly bc I just want to tone things down after end game and start at a slow pace to introduce the saga slowly. I’m 50/50 on Hawkeye being in it bc that means I need to figure out how to make it possible for Kate to be in that yet young enough for when the YA pop up (which will either be the final project of the time travel saga or the first of the next saga) but it’s likely to find some of itself in there at the least.

Also considering not having TLAT and eternals in this saga because I think they would fit better in a saga focused around gods and cosmic entities. I will also actually explore the eternals not involving themselves in the Thanos (and subsequently also Kang) fights, and why this was, as there were a lot of complaints about that when the film came out.

Overall I’m jumbling things up a little.

Spoiler for AMATW:Quantumania:

Also Scott (and maybe Hope) will get stuck in the Quantum realm indefinitely. Needed for Young Avengers set up. And it’ll occur later on in the Saga, as I don’t want them to have very long to prepare for Kang, and maybe I’ll even kill Scott to later use ‘time funky’ logic to bring him back from the moments just before his death to rejoin the Avengers and warn them about Kang (unintentionally inspiring the actions of a Young Avenger in a later film).

[dawnquafam]

The way it healed me in a way I didn’t even know I needed healing to know that Heimdall has a son and Thor adopted a daughter... like this movie really said Heimdall and Loki live on in the love they left behind and I am sobbing

I'll tell you what. Korg participating in the kronan version of gay sex on screen is the best gay rep we got from Marvel. Forget the gay kiss in eternals this is straight up baby making sex.
