hc that Tony had to quit his high school robotics club because, even as a child, his designs were being stolen by SIs competitors.

And then tony hearing that Peter quit Band in order to be Spider-Man, and feeling the burden of history folding inward

since they didn’t show the tony/pepper wedding on-screen all theories could be canon, including the one with pepper wearing a fancy wedding dress and tony showing up in a suit which he rips off mid-vow to reveal an even fancier wedding dress

Everyone @ Steve: When are you going to stop picking fights you have almost no chance of winning?

Steve, his armor missing, no weapons, rushing at Thanos with his bare hands: Bold of you to assume I’ll EVER stop.

The nuns at Steve Rogers elementary school: Little Stevie is so much trouble in class, but he’s so small and sickly. We can’t just smack his knuckles with a ruler like we normally would, right?

Steve: *Draws dicks in his bible during morning prayer and tries to throw down with the biggest kid in class because he pulled a girl’s pigtails*

Nuns: *Sighing* well we really have no choice, now do we?

unfortunately the awful little freak everyone hates has saved the world so now we all have to try to be nice

I think there's a lot of factors that has led to the overall downfall of the mcu, from consumer fatigue to the shoddy cgi ununionized vfx workers were forced to grind out to incohesive plotlines, but the one that I think alienated the fans the most was the writing -- specifically by people who genuinely disliked the source material characters and stories they were writing about. how many times can you watch yet another one of your favorites be ruined? do something so wildly out of character it hurts? there was a shift post infinity war. to put fan servicing ahead of good writing. to stuff everything with cameos. make gif & memeable scenes. to treat characters like playing dolls -- where nothing felt like them except their face. sad tbh

following the theory that loki intentionally banded the avengers together so he could sicc them on thanos later, after he took the throne in T:TDW, i think he'd be so angry at the events of civil war like:

loki as odin: hello heimdall, how do earth's mightiest heroes fare as of late?

heimdall: they have disagreed on many subjects and split up two days ago

loki:

heimdall:

loki: they haVE WHAT?

cue loki coming down to earth and bonking everyone's heads together until they all get along again

stark: how the heck are you alive???

loki: skills. listen here, i did not pour my blood, sweat and tears to form this team for you idiots to throw all my hard work out the window!

loki, grabbing rhodes and stark by the wrists: now, we are going to get your little friends out of prison, understood?

like an exasperated kindergarten teacher, y'know?

Loki, hitting Steve over the head with a newspaper: he's your friend, of course he's upset you lied to him about something like this

Tony: hah!

Loki, giving Tony a death glare: did you have to fight each other about it

Question: If the Avengers ever went to Asgard, which one of them would be the first to try to choke Odin: Tony or Steve?

Loki: ah the avengers must be a little wary of me now, though they know not only the truth about the invasion but all my crimes entailed before

The Avengers, standing outside his door with blankets and pillows: Natasha said you wouldn't stop us having a sleepover at your place if we behaved properly

#nat loki friendship where she makes everyone else invade his life and steal his ice cream #that’s not a metaphor he has a small freezer for ice cream for himself #natasha evaluating an annoyed loki that’s banished to earth as punishment and deciding he’s chill #and since he’s chill she can start blatantly propagandising his stunning personality #natasha like trust me on this he’s nice and works well in a team #you just gotta treat him nice in return. observe >:} #this may or may not be directly based off not just a quote by @qing-er-gege that was about mdzs but also the aro knife pals fic #not my tags

A list of things Steve Rogers would historically be unfamiliar with:

I fell down a rabbit hole of research about inventions circa the 40s and was surprised by a bunch of things that have been around way longer than I thought and some that are strangely reccent, and compiled them into a list. Aka, a resource for fic writers.

Bananas (or rather, the ones we have today. The ones he’d be accustomed to, the Gros Michel, a sweeter, creamier species, went extinct in the 50s and was replaced with the bland Cavendish banana.)

High-fives (the low-five was actually invented first, around WW2, and he may have been familiar with that)

Buffalo Wings (invented in the 60s)

CPR (not really used until the late 40s, not widely known until the 50s)

Tiramisu (invented in the 80s)

Big Macs & McNuggets (while McDonald’s was founded in 1940, the former wasn’t introduced until the 60s, and the latter, the 80s)

Seat belts (the first car to have one was in the late 40s, and only became mandatory to wear them in the 80s. holy shit.) 

Walmart (invented in 1962. Or really, the large-scale supermarkets as we know them today really)

Yellow tennis balls (prior to the 70s they were usually black or white)

Panadol (first sold in the US in the 50s)

The smiley face aka :) (popularised in the 60s)

Now alternatively, here’s a list of things Steve WOULD (or possibly would) be familiar with:

I’m not sure why some of these surprised me.

Modern Sunglasses (have been around a lot longer than I thought, and were mass produced in the 20s)

Nokia (was first founded in 1865. I’m not kidding. They began as a pulp mill and moved into making rubber respirators for military from the 30s onwards)

Nintendo (been around since 1889 as a toy company, during the 40s they made playing cards. Wouldn’t be implausible that he knew about Nintendo, perhaps from Morita)

Krispy Kreme (opened in 1937, didn’t spread widely until the 50s however)

Kool-Aid (introduced in the 30s)

Oreos (introduced in 1912)

Printed/graphic tees (didn’t become a trend until the 60s-70s, but they certainly existed in the 40s)

Hoodies (originated in the 30s, worn by workers in cold New York warehouses. Meaning, it’s entirely plausible Bucky could’ve been wearing hoodies in the 40s)

Malls (they weren’t called that back then, but they certainly had shopping centres or plazas since the 1800s)

Converse sneakers (invented in 1908 and have barely changed since!)

Look I’m just saying that if Stephen strange had been Asian American it would have made the story so much better. Like instead of the tired and racist “white man goes to an Asian country, masters their magic system way faster than they did, and is some sort of super prodigy chosen one” nonsense, it could have been an Asian American and/or desi boy who had achieved the “American dream” and been super Americanized (prodigal son of immigrants becomes a doctors in America, struggles with balancing two cultures, the dreams of his parents to see him be successful in the new country, while also struggling with how that contrasts with trying to keep up with the culture and tradition of the homeland, which would then deepen and add to the agonizing cognitive dissonance Stephen felt in the original plot) rediscovering his heritage in tandem with the plot.

Also! You could still have salty!Wong except instead of the frankly justified annoyance at “this (white) upstart comes in and becomes the sorcerer supreme in a few months when I’ve been doing this for most of my life”, you could have the much funnier and objectively better and funnier “grumpy traditional Uncle is annoyed with this young Americanized Youth who is annoyingly good at shit” dynamic.

Anyway, besides not being racist (and the “white prodigy” trope IS racist), this would add so much depth and heart to the story without detracting from the original plot in any meaningful way.

when the avengers announce that they’re going to have a youtube channel, everyone’s really excited to see tony stark talk about technology, see captain america talk about morals and values, hawkeye and black widow doing their ninja fighting, hulk and thor being incredible and outlandish

the first video they post is recorded by bruce, who’s failing to conceal his laughter as tony, steve, thor, and clint play mario kart. steve wins by a landslide. thor congratulates him, clint whines, and tony falls off of the couch while screaming. theres a video made by clint and natasha where they pull pranks on the others, an enlightening video of steve scowling as a fox news reporter talks about how captain america is against the gays, a montage of dum-e fucking with tony in the shop. none of these videos are educational or formal in any way. fury tells the avengers that they have a reputation to uphold, that they’re superheroes, and they respond by choreographing and dancing to the entirety of bohemian rhapsody while they all use their powers. natasha backflips off of tony and lands on the hulk’s shoulders. steve throws clint as clint shoots arrows at moving targets. thor accidentally knocks a hole through a wall. the public is in complete support of them

Mommy issues

Aaand we’re back to shitty gradient backgrounds xD

HEAR ME OUT OK  Loki is definetely younger than Hela in this universe, so fatherhood is out of the question but WHAT IF Taika flipped the script and made her his mother instead?? WHAT IF LAUFEY DID THAT? WHAT IF? GUYS! GUYYSSS!!! THAT WOULD BE A FUCKING PLOT TWIST IF I’VE EVER SEEN ONE!

I mean, why is she so mad at Asgard? Perhaps they took her baby away xD

Writer’s Guilt 📙

[lowkeysambucky]

Concept: Some jackass shows Bucky how to make a blog and it becomes really popular. Not because it’s the blog of James Buchanan Barnes, American Legend, War Hero, Infamous Assassin, Alleged Terrorist. Nobody even knows it’s his blog. It gets really popular because people think it’s a really great shitpost generator or something. Because Bucky is just a Weird Fucking Person and everything he posts on his fucking personal blog comes off as somewhere between dril and Jaden Smith and people are like “this is some quality garbage right here” and thus Accidental Memelord Bucky is born.
