This quote thread was a collaboration with @bitrashteddy (we each wrote about half). The first three lines were from @incorectmarvelquotes. (oh and I don't know what happened on April Fools, Valentines Day or the Kitchen Incident unfortunately. that's still under investigation.)

Wade: I wish i had acid

Peter: Wade you shouldn't do drugs :(

Wade: not that kind of acid, i really need to get rid of a body

Peter: oh well in that case, I know where to get some

Natasha: if you raid Tony's stash again I'm telling him.

Peter: again? What do you-

Natasha: Don't think i've forgotten about April Fools'.

Wade, Peter’s #1 fan: What happened april fools?

Peter: I vowed to never speak of it

Wade: wait... how many of the pranks that were blamed on me were actually you?

Peter: 😈

Natasha: I personally lost count after 20... last year

Morgan: fifty thwee.

Peter: where did you come from?

Peter: firstly: traitor, secondly: very bold coming from someone who blamed Wade for the kitchen incident

Natasha: the kitchen- wait. Peter, that was YOU?

Peter: Hey- I was simply an accomplice, it was all Morgans idea

Morgan, putting on her I'm an innocent five year old face: auntie Nat, do you weally think I'd be smart enough to pull something that genius off?

Natasha: At this point I'm ready to believe anything.

Wade, losing his mind: Can we go back to the part where you framed me for the incident AND stole acid?

Peter: Morgan is the one who showed me where the acid was!

Wade: so you're blaming everything on Morgan now?

Peter: ...yes. yes, I am.

Morgan: B- but I didn't do anything!

Peter: Morgan we all know you're not as innocent as you claim to be

Morgan: But- in my defense he asked weally nicely

Natasha: *sighs* Morgan do you want me to teach you karate?

Tony: Nat, I have no context at all for this but you're not teaching my daughter martial arts.

Peter: Is now a good time to confess Wade and I have been teaching her Kickboxing?

Never occurred to him to like... Call the university. Like gifted kids being idiots yes please ❤️❤️

Victoria Molina

gif credit: @gifsociety​

Fandom:  MCU (Captain America: Civil War - Spiderman: No Way Home)

Face claim: Jenna Ortega

Nicknames: Tori, Tony Stark 2.0, Vicky (she’ll hate you tho), Teen Genius

Age: 14 - 18 (Blipped)

Birthday: September 17, 2001

Pronouns: She/Her

Sexuality: Straight, Bi-curious

Occupation: Student, “Sidekick”

Affiliation: Academic Decathlon Team, Robotics Club

Abilities: Genius intellect; engineering, robotics; light hand-to-hand combat

Friends: Michelle Jones, Ned Leeds & Peter Parker (acquaintances), Flash Thompson (frenemy)

Family: Héctor (father), Maia Molina (mother), Jesús “Zeus” Molina (older brother), Diego Molina (older brother), Minerva “Minnie” Molina (twin sister), Elena Rivera (maternal aunt, deceased)

Intro:  Turns out that her brother nearly dying in an explosion was the best thing that ever happened to Victoria Molina. What should have killed him, miraculously ended up giving him superpowers. Of course, he was completely hopeless on his own. Diego said he only confided in her about his superpowers because she was the only one he trusted, but she knew the truth. If he had any chance of being a successful superhero, he needed her help.

Thanks to her, her brother’s superhero persona Hercules went viral all over the internet. Queens loved him, all of New York loved him, the whole damn world loved him! Tori, though? She much rather stay in her place behind the scenes, never wanting fame for herself. She was the brains of their whole operation and that was enough for her.

That’s where she and her brother differed. Diego had always dreamed of greatness, of being able to get anything with a snap of his fingers, of being the next Tony Stark. Tori rather be more like the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, operating in the background but just as intelligent, maybe even more so, than the superheroes in the spotlight. It’s why she got along so well with fellow wallflower, Michelle Jones. Though MJ would say she didn’t really have any friends (probably to seem cool and mysterious), she secretly enjoyed Tori’s company and even sometimes looked forward to when they’d silently sit beside each other again.

Similar to Diego before his sudden personality change, Tori was constantly overlooked. Despite clearly being the smartest of her siblings, she just didn’t stand out as much as them. Her twin Minerva may not have been as smart, but she was far more ambitious than Tori and got a lot more attention because of it. While Minnie’s side of their room was lined with academic trophies and ribbons, Tori kept her side of the room fairly plain, except for the ridiculous amount of computer junk cluttering every available surface. Even her oldest brother, who was probably the dumbest person she’d ever met, got more attention than her, being a big wrestling star that everyone adored. She may not have wanted to be in the spotlight, but she can’t help but feel a little jealous of her siblings. She didn’t need the whole world to have its eyes on her, but it would be nice if her parents paid her attention every now and then.

Quotes:

“It’s such a burden to constantly be the smartest person in the room.”

“You’d be dead by now if it weren’t for me. And do I get so much as a thanks? Nope.”

“The sexual tension between you and Spider-Man is out of this world. I kinda ship it, to be honest.”

totally stealing @honeybabydichotomy‘s meme-adaptation concept re: i have a handful of things that could be described WIPs and nearly all of them i already can’t shut my mouth about, but here is a trip through the GOOGLE DOCS GRAVEYARD of abandoned fandoms past (mcu, trc, something too embarrassing to list above the cut so you’ll just have to CLICK and find out)

first up, the last fic i never actually wrote for, lmao, american idol season 8 RPF fandom, back in 2010... this was going to be a bigbang fic but in keeping with my terrible track record re: challenges etc. i did not finish it, although in my defense that had at least something to do with spilling coffee all over my laptop right around the time i started a very hours-intensive job with a huge commute. when i look at this now i’m like, this sure was me writing ten years ago, but i still love the emotional architecture of any story in which one deliberately shut-off and long-repressed individual is uncomfortably thawed by the miracle of someone else’s open-hearted joie de vivre; it’s the oldest story here but arguably the closest to an actual WIP in that the ghost of that idea is the seed for the divorced quentin AU i harbor hopes of one day writing; you can definitely see the Relevant Vibes in this exchange, i think, although i feel the need to clarify that adam lambert enjoying twilight is a thing he said on national television, i wouldn’t do that to someone on my own:

Veselka is crowded, but despite the bitter February cold, Kris doesn't mind waiting outside for twenty minutes, leaning against the glass display case of the expensive toy store next door, separated from Adam by little more than an inch. "So - okay, this is kind of terrible. Like, worse than the Twilight thing. But I feel like you should know who you're dealing with, so."

"It can't be that bad."

Adam just smiles knowingly. "Oh, can't it?"

"Hit me with your best shot," Kris says. Something twitches in his stomach as Adam raises his eyebrow to that.

Adam leans down to whisper in Kris's ear, sending inexplicable sparks down Kris's neck. "Sometimes, when I'm standing in the street or on the subway or something, I like to watch people go by and try to guess what they're like in bed."

Kris blushes. "Very mature," he says with a nervous laugh, embarrassed about his own embarrassment.

Adam holds up his hands in a gesture of innocence. "Hey. We're all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars," he intones. "Oscar Wilde."

"Do you think that's true?"

"I think it is. At least - " Adam tilts his chin up, a mischievous glint in his eyes " - I identify with it."

Kris searches for something to say that won't make him seem hopelessly square. "What's the view like from down there?"

Adam gazes at the night sky, where Manhattan's perpetual glow blots out all but the brightest lights. "I like it. You see more of them this way."

Kris thinks he's spent six years priding himself himself on keeping his gaze fixed straight ahead, avoiding the pull of the horizon or the distraction of the sun. "So. Mr. Gutter." He points to a thirty-something man getting out of a parked Ford across the street. "What's he like?"

next up: an unpublished MCU snippet! this was a peggy character study set at howard’s funeral, also an excuse for me to have feelings about tony stark; idiotically, i actually have a complete draft of this, and got a really brilliant beta job from @nimmieamee, but then never went back and revised it and also could not bring myself to post it when despite being passable as done i could tell in my bones it was simply Not Working, even though parts of it i really liked:

Howard had not taken to aging with grace. It, too, offended him: the body betraying the dream of perfectibility. Dodging it had taken up an increasing percentage of his time. He took up jogging, early among the public, too late in his life: a few months in and a busted knee earned him doctor's orders to abandon that pursuit. His bones were already too brittle to benefit. Howard himself had become brittle long ago. You could blame the war; but that was what happened to people with no give to them. They were like the driest branches waiting for a storm, only unlike branches they recognized on some level the precariousness of their structure, and consequently dedicated themselves to forgetting it.

Howard was undeterred. (Being deterred also went against his every principle.) He had swimming pools installed, outdoors in Los Angeles, adorned with artificial rocks arranged just so to give the impression of a hot spring, and indoors in West Hampton, heated, lit underwater with a yellow-green glow throwing tendrils of light on smooth white walls. Fitness gurus and nutrition consultants were put on retainer, a bicoastal platoon to prevent malfunctions; physical therapists were brought in to recalibrate around malfunctions. They quit with increasing frequency, as his temper frayed along with his body. He gave up, in sequence, smoking, alcohol, red meat, all meat, alcohol, sugar, processed grains, alcohol, salt, and direct sunlight--although by the time of this last pronouncement, it produced little noticeable effect.

Lately he had become obsessed with the idea of cryogenic freezing: the fantasy of going to sleep and waking up in a time when his intellectual heirs had figured out how to repair and replace his rusted pieces. Skin firmed and thickened; knees stitched back to mint condition; a whole new heart, perhaps, grown in a jar or assembled from compounds yet to be constructed. "Wouldn't you take the chance, if you had it?" he had murmured, eyes going dreamy as they did when he talked of his latest missiles.

Peggy pictured Steve in the Arctic, his hyperactive cells stilled by the indifferent cold. She shivered, like a child hearing a ghost story, and said no, she wouldn't.

finally, two stories from a fandom i actually never published any stories with, or engaged with in any meaningful way: the fuckin raven cycle. the dumbest books on god’s green earth. the first was a ronan story where gansey actually dies and stays the fuck dead, and ronan handles it by being a huge asshole, and then, unlike in these hideous godforsaken books, actually decides on purpose to be a better person.... i’m realizing revisiting this now that some of the itch of this story i’ve finally gotten out of my system via damage control, but the GENIUS IDEA of ronan giving matthew an actual soul by giving up the dream power and thus becoming an actual human, sadly, does not really transfer, even though it’s the best concept i’ve ever thought of in my life. anyway, whatever, i have a type:

He opened the door. Adam and Blue were looking at him with expressions he couldn't decipher. Noah was looking at the floor.

"Are you—" Adam started. Ronan watched the word okay die of its own irrelevance in Adam's mouth.

"None of you were invited," Ronan said.

Blue started, "We just—"

"Sorry," he said, loud enough to drown her out. "But this is a very exclusive party. That means no rednecks"—he pointed at Adam—"no bitches"—Blue—"and no pussies"—Noah. "So I'm going to need you all to leave."

He focused his eyes on Blue. She looked like she wanted to slap him. This was familiar. He wanted to go back to the time when his only interactions with Blue Sergeant involved saying something and watching her look at him like she wanted to slap him. Things had gotten complicated after that. Then Gansey had died. Ronan couldn't articulate the connection, but he felt strongly that it was there.

"Maybe I wasn't clear," he said. "What I mean is: get the fuck out of my house."

and last but not least, another TRC story, motivated initially by dreaminess and then sporadically continued after TRK came out (seriously like ever 18 months i dig this one out and write another 500 words and give up again) out of spite - a story where, because fuck stief, adam parrish gets a cell phone, ronan lynch gets a job, and no one assumes that finally having sex means you’re basically married forever without even talking about if you’re boyfriends. this one is like, so close to being “done” in that it almost goes beginning to end and has a lot of individual lines i actually like, but has always been very difficult to pull together because of the reality that maggie stiefvater wrote a series such that ronan lynch acting like a decent boyfriend or experiencing character growth or talking about his emotions is literally out of character, which makes it hard to write a dreamy summer hook-up story; i was actually thinking earlier this year of picking it back up YET AGAIN, but then damage control ate my brain... one day, perhaps, for the satisfaction of having finished... or i might just listen to “cruel summer” by taylor swift while meditating on it for a couple million more hours:

“Did you call me over just to give me the fucking silent treatment in person?” Ronan said. It sounded less vicious than it should have. Like he had been aiming for a growl and somehow landed on a mumble.

I didn’t call you over, Adam wanted to say, but it wasn’t actually true. He had. That seemed wrong, though. Ronan Lynch wasn’t someone to be called over. He was too wild and spiteful for that. Even Gansey couldn’t manage it. The rest of Ronan’s world had given up trying long ago.

But when Adam had called, Ronan had come.

He felt like he might throw up.

“I’m not giving you the silent treatment,” he said instead. “I’m just—“ But he didn’t know what he was doing. So he switched tacks. “You just—“ But he didn’t know that, either. And asking Ronan what the fuck are you doing had never yielded helpful results.

So Adam stuck to the truest thing, what he had worked his whole life to make true. “I’m leaving in three months.”

“What the fuck does that have to do with anything,” Ronan spat. This time he was closer to the expected intensity, but there was still something strange under his voice. Maybe not. Maybe Adam was just having a nervous breakdown.

Let's! Hear! That! Rant!

Okay let’s go.

So, latine characters mostly fall into gross lil categories such ass:

1. Sexy/flirtatious/exotique

2. Comic Relief/Border  Joke/Haha! Accent!

3. Dumb

4. Bad News Violent

5. Drug Cartel/Criminal

Those are the ones I grew up seeing (which wasn’t v good for me as a latine person) and those are probably the ones everyone’s seen. I don’t mean to pick on childhood shows but… I’m gonna use some as examples.

Lance McClain falls into 3/5 of these which is absolutely disgusting, he’s literally 2 stereotypes away from being a Perfect Caricature and that’s… Ew AF. Let’s go to the 1st one. 1. Flirtatious/Feminine Sexy Boy: In the first or second season Lance flirts with an alien girl that steals his shit, he is shown to have jeopardized everything because of a pretty girl, in his first scene with Allura what he does after unfreezing some poor girl is flirting with her right off the bat in a fashion that allows her to show us she’s bad ass but also show’s “This Lance guy??? Thinks with his dick.” When he goes to the water planet? Flirt Flirt Flirt. Now, if they would have maybe shown this to be some kinda coping mechanism some kind of “I know flirting will keep people away and I’m insecure” then fine, it could have even been a form of trope subversion, but instead it stays as a stale “This Cuban boy flirts so much!! Haha!” Lance gets 0 development past his stereotype descriptors and sharp shootings. This reminds me a bit of that Danny Phantom character. She’s brown, she has an accent, and she’s a Sexy McHottie with the Jock BF. Though they aren’t very similar at first glance they both fall into the “Flirtatious Dumb Latine” stereotype pretty spot on. Now please think, why does this side character that was often the villain have the same depth as the hero and one of the mains from a supposedly more nuanced show? The most Lance gets is being in love with Allura. Wow! His face routine and femininity is also shows as something comical, instead of a “he’s feminine and its normal and even good for boys to be feminine!” it’s a joke. Lances flirtatiousness is shown to be funny and so is his femininity in a perfect case of a latino stereotype which takes me to

2. Comic relief: Now, there’s never a border joke, or an accent joke, but Lance is made fun of… a lot. In the opening scene of s6 lance is injured, hit, and this is seen as HILARIOUS, no one is concerned for Lance, no one gives a FUCK, it’s LOL and then move on. Lance is hurt throughout the series and the time he is given worry is in the beginning of the show, before he was confirmed Latinx (huh.) and after that him getting hurt is.. Eh not so big who cares? Lance is the laughing stock, he’s the jester, the funny one. And not in a “He makes good jokes way.” It’s at his expense. Now, the other cartoon latino that falls to this is Jimmy neutrons BFF who’s Latino, he’s Funny To Laugh At! Haha! The dif is pretty big though as Sheen gets more fucking development and from my memories isn’t as injured as much for the LOLS and imma use this as a bad way to go to

3. Stupit: Sheen is shown as not The Brightest, but he does make a few smart questions in the series, Lance doesn’t get this. Lance is coined in season 8 (by gifs I saw cause I’m not watching the shit show season 8 from Fucktron) as The Dumbest Paladin, fucking beautiful. He’s made fun of for his stupidity, throughout the show being made fun of for having dumb paranoia and just not having great ideas! His “smartest moments” are roasting Lotor, which is easy cause that boy is gross and reminds me of MCU Loki in avengers 2012 a bit, he’s constantly shown as Not The brightest. I mean… A whole alien game show with the paladins… And He’s The Stupid One. Now, stupid characters can exist but like.. Um… if he’s so dumb… Why the HELL did he have classes with the geniuses that are Hunk and Pidge. Why was he in the garrison if he’s so stupid??? For the Laff? I mean, it’s gross and disheartening. I’m not saying make him a genius, but maybe don’t make him so dumb.

On top of this… He’s made fun of for talking so much, falling into the comic relief thing but still. he show’s to be barely cared about, he’s just…The Sharpshooter it seems. The way he’s written is basic and lacking, it’s racist and gross. A lot of those stereotypes affect people. Literally if his family were drug-lords and he had an uncle in jail then he’d be The Stereotype. How gross is that? Lance McClain has the potential to be a great character, it’s there, but instead of developing it he’s 3 stereotypes and the ability to aim really well in a human form, and that’s disgusting.

Voltron writers are disgusting for what they did to Adam, but they’re also disgusting for what they did to Lance McClain, and I’m not gonna forget that ever as a latine.

(btw sorry if it’s not as neat as I think it is I’m kinda just Ramblin’)
