Lost At The Park
Warnings: Annoying small child, Steve Age: 15 Word Count: 2,487 Requests: Closed Summary: You accidentally lost your little sister at the park Requested by: No one this was all me Date: 08/06/2023 A/N: I'm going to get all the Marvel requests finished first then I will start on the Once Upon a Time ones.
---⧗---
"Y/N, get up now." Your mom shouted and banged on your bedroom door.
It was 2 pm on a Saturday, why was she waking you up this early in the day?
"You promised your sister you would take her to the park today." She shouted. "If you don't get up in the next 5 minutes you're going to be in big trouble young lady."
After exactly 4 and a half minutes of laying in bed, you finally managed to get up.
You walked slowly out of your room stumbling down the hallway with droopy eyes and a limp posture down to the kitchen. You were pretty much looking like a zombie but at least you know that if a zombie apocalypse did ever happen you would be prepared on how to fake being one.
As you walked into the kitchen Tony was sitting at the table drinking coffee and reading the newspaper.
"Oh look it finally came out of its cave. It's very nice of you to join us Y/N." Tony said then he took a sip of his coffee.
You covered your face with your hands and let out a low groan.
"Finally you're awake." Your mom said from behind you.
"I'm too tired." You said wiping your eyes.
"Well maybe if you didn't stay up to 6 am talking to your girlfriend then you wouldn't be so tired. Don't lie to me and say that you didn't because I heard you."
Your face instantly turned a shade of red you can't exactly remember what you and your girlfriend were talking about last night but it was probably not appropriate. Definitely not someone that a parent should hear.
Natasha saw that you were getting embarrassed and changed the subject. "Anyway go have a shower and get dressed Kira has been waiting all morning for you."
Kira is your half-sister. Five years ago your mom made the biggest mistake of her life. She got so drunk at one of Tony's parties and for whatever reason, made her decide to have a one-night stand with Steve which resulted in her getting pregnant and your life being completely ruined now that you won’t be the only and favourite child anymore.
Thankfully even though she decided to keep the baby she didn't want things to go any further with Steve. He accepted her wishes and after a while, he finally got over her and moved on which you were so grateful for she could do so much better.
You let out a loud sigh "Okay fine." then left the kitchen to go shower.
---⧗---
After you had finished your shower you got yourself dried then dressed then you began to make your way back downstairs
You walked into the living room and stood leaning again the door frame watching your mom finish helping Kira with her shoes and put her coat on.
"Finally you're ready I've been waiting so long for you." You said walking over to them.
"No, I wait on you," Kira whined.
"Y/N don't wind up your sister." Natasha sighed.
She took Kira's hand and took her to the front door and you followed them.
"Remember Y/N home at 5, hold her hand the whole way there and back, keep your eyes on her at all times, don't let her talk to strangers, don't..." Natasha would have gone on and on if you didn't interrupt her.
"Yes.” You sighed “I know you tell me this every time.”
You took Kira's hand and walked out of the door to go to the park.
---⧗---
You were watching Kira run around the playground and you were bored out of your mind. Every time you took your phone out to keep yourself entertained Kira would start complaining that you weren't watching her. Now you know how your mom feels every time She took you and then Kira to the park.
Kira ran over to the swings and you knew that she was going to call you over to push her.
"Y/N, help." She shouted.
You walked over to her and started pushing her but you weren't pushing her hard enough and she started complaining that she wanted to go higher but you knew fine well that if you made her go any higher she would start crying that it was too high and she was scared you couldn't win with this kid nothing that you did was good enough.
"We have to go home now Kira is nearly 5 and I'm cold." You told her.
"One more thing." She said then she ran off.
You went to follow her but you got a text and you had to check it first in case it was your mom it wasn't from your mom but you decided to reply to it anyway.
"Right Kira time to go." You said looking up from your phone in the direction where you thought she was but she wasn't there.
You continued to call her name and look for her in all the places she would be hiding but you couldn't find her. You knew that she had to be close by since she was too scared to run away.
"Kira this is not funny anymore please come out." You shouted but there was still no response or sign of her.
You looked around the park and noticed that it was surrounded by a forest. If Kira wandered off into the woods, you wouldn't be able to find her on your own. You knew you had to do the one thing you were dreading - call your mom.
After a few rings, your mom picked up. "I was just about to call you, Y/N. You were supposed to be home 10 minutes ago. Where are you?" she asked.
"Still at the park, but..." you trailed off.
"But what, Y/N?" she asked, her voice filled with concern.
You took a deep breath. It was definitely better to come right out and tell her the truth. "I took my eyes off Kira for a second, and she's gone. I can't find her. I'm so sorry, Mama. It was an accident. Please believe me."
"Just come home, Y/N," she said surprisingly calmly, which made you even more scared.
"Didn't you hear what I said? I lost Kira. Why aren't you yelling at me and rushing here to help find her?" you asked, your voice shaking with fear.
You heard a voice in the background but you weren't able to make out who it was or what they said then your phone suddenly started beeping. You pulled your phone away from your ear and saw that your mom had hung up on you.
You put your phone back in your pocket and started walking back home since there was nothing else that you could do.
---⧗---
You walked into the house, your heart beating out of your chest. You could barely breathe, and your hands were shaking. You knew that your mom was going to be so angry with you, and you felt like you deserved it. You had one job and you failed. You had let your mom down
"Mama?" you said very quietly.
You walked into the living room, your mom and Steve were sitting on the couch and the last person you expected to see was sitting on the floor playing with toys... Kira.
Kira looked up at you and a big smirk appeared on her face. "You're in trouble,"  she said teasingly.
"I don't understand. How did she get here?" you said feeling confused.
"I spotted her leaving the park on her own while you were looking at your phone," Steve said in a disappointed tone
"How could you be so irresponsible Y/N? She's just a little girl anything could have happened to her." Natasha said raising her voice
You looked down at the ground, feeling ashamed and disappointed in yourself.
"Well, do you have something to say for yourself, young lady?" Natasha asked.
"I'm sorry." You mumbled tears starting to fill in your eyes.
"Get to your room right now Y/N," Natasha said
"But.. I..." You started to say
"Y/N i said now" she said angrily.
You managed to stop the tears from falling as you left the living room but as you got halfway up the stairs you couldn't stop them any longer and they started falling down your face.
You hurried the rest of the way to your room. You were planning on slamming your bedroom door but you didn't want anyone to see you like this so you closed it very quietly.
You lay down on your bed and started sobbing into your pillow.
---⧗---
A few hours passed, and you were still lying on the bed on your stomach with your face buried in the pillows when you heard the door open and someone walked into your room you instantly know it was Kira since everyone else knocks and waited
"Go away Kira," you said trying to hide the fact you were crying
"No, you bad you lost me so I get to stay here." She said making herself comfortable on your bed.
"I said get out." You shouted.
Then suddenly out of nowhere, she threw herself back onto your bed. She sat back up and started 'crying' "why did you push me?"
At that point, you were just ignoring her.
She carefully climbed off your bed "I tell Mama you hit me." She said making her way towards the door.
"I don't care Kira just close the door when you leave." You said then she left leaving the door wide open.
Not long after your mom walked into your room but you didn't notice since you had your back to the door.
"Are you ready to talk now Y/N?" Natasha asked.
You just shrugged your shoulders.
"She's lying I didn't touch her." You mumbled.
"Im talking about what happened at the park Y/N"  
You sat up and turned to face your mom. "Why it's not like you're going to believe me anyway."
"Just tell me."  Natasha sighed sitting down on your bed.
"The park that we went to had a fence around the play area and the bolt on the gate was all rusted I even struggled to unlock it and the gate was squeaky so there would have been no way that Kira would have been able to open it or leave without me noticing."
Natasha looked at you confused. "That's not what Steve told me. He said that she was wandering around alone."
You turned your body away from her "I knew you wouldn't believe me." You said quietly closing your eyes tightly to prevent yourself from crying again.
Natasha placed her hands on your shoulders and turned you so you were facing her again then she gently cupped your face. "I believe you," Natasha reassured you. She pulled you into a tight hug "I believe you, Y/N." She whispered.
You nodded, feeling relieved that your mom was on your side.
"I'm going to go have a word with your sister then Steve," Natasha said as he pulled herself out of the hug. She then placed a kiss on your forehead then left your room.
---⧗---
Natasha walked into Kira's room and saw that Kira was sitting at her desk with her back to the door.
"What are you doing, baby?" Natasha asked as she walked closer to her.
"Drawing, Mama," Kira said, holding up her half-completed picture.
"That's wonderful, baby," Natasha said, smiling as she looked at the picture. Kira put the paper back on the desk and continued drawing.
"Baby, can you tell Mama what happened at the park today?" Natasha asked.
"I played on the swings and slide and climbed," Kira said, eager to tell her mom everything she did at the park. But she was interrupted when Natasha asked, "Can you tell me what happened when your dad got there?"
Kira nodded. "He lifted me over fence and we got ice cream."
"Did he tell Y/N that you both were leaving?" Natasha asked.
"No, he said to keep it a secret. Don't tell anyone," Kira replied.
"Unbelievable," Natasha said under her breath. "Stay here Kira, I'm going to have a talk with your father." She then stood up and left the room.
---⧗---
While Natasha was talking to Kira you decided to have a little word with Steve.
Steve was still in the living room sitting on the sofa watching the news.
You walk into the living room and stand in front of the tv blocking his view. "Why did you lie to my mom?" You asked crossing your arms
"I don't even know what you're talking about Y/N." He said while moving to the other side of the couch so he could see the tv again.
You picked up the tv remote and turned off the tv. "You told her that Kira was wandering around on your own.
"Because she was."
"Bullshit," You said a little louder than expected.
"Y/N," A voice said. You looked to your right and it was your mom. "That's enough."
"But Mama..."
"Go to your room Y/N," Natasha said in a firm tone.
You were going to say something but your mom had that scary look on her face so you left the room and went to your room.
As time went on you were sitting on your bed trying to distract yourself with a book but you just couldn't concentrate on it because of all the yelling that was happening between your mom and Steve.
Your bedroom door opened and Kira walked in. Tears were streaming down her face.
You moved over and patted the empty space on your bed inviting her to come sit with you. Once she got comfortable you put a blanket over both of you and put your arm around her.
"Do you want to watch something on my phone?" You asked.
She just nodded. You picked up your phone and put on Bluey on youtube for her. You ended up watching it too and you were definitely enjoying it a lot more than she was.
You and Kira got through nearly 5 episodes before your mom came to check on you.
"Is everything okay?" You asked her as she sat down on your bed next to Kira.
"It is now baby," Natasha replied smiling at you.
The three of you ended up counting watching episodes of Bluey till you all fell asleep.
You never did find out what really happened between your mom and Steve that night and unfortunately, you never will.

Ok long post buckle in.
I have a friend who's super into theme parks. Or rather, the thrill of a theme park. She's a rollercoaster person. And to this end, she asked if I wanted to take a day trip to one of the more intense regional British theme parks, Thorpe Park, just outside London.
I am not a theme park person. I am deathly afraid of heights, high speeds, drops and helplessness. All of which are fairly core elements of a theme park.
However, I love my friend dearly, so I take her up on it. Best way to conquer your fears is to face them etc.
So Thorpe Park has 5, what I will charitably call, 'nightmare coasters' (in my opinion there are a couple others that fit the bill like Rush, Samurai and Detonator, not really 'rollercoasters' but equally horrifying) that are the main attraction of the park:
1. Swarm:
Tumblr media
2. Colossus:
Tumblr media
3. Nemesis Inferno:
Tumblr media
And 4. Saw
Tumblr media
(I could only find a picture of the outdoor lifthill, there's a lot happening in the woods and inside the warehouse too. You get the general idea.)
These are the four rides that I agree to push myself to go on and get our money's worth.
But wait, keen-eyed readers may be wondering, I thought you said there were 5 nightmare coasters! What happened to the fifth one?
Well, there was one of the five that I had ruled out under any circumstances:
5. Stealth
Tumblr media
Needless to say, fuck that.
However, my friend loves rollercoasters. And one of her favourites there is, of course, Stealth. So after we've ridden Swarm, I decide, while she's waiting for Stealth, that I'll get something else done instead. A smaller thrill before we move on to Colossus. So I head over to the Walking Dead dark ride.
The Walking Dead ride is a heavily story-driven ride about the park being overtaken by Zombies: you make your way though dark corridors to the ride inside, then afterwards you make your way out through a series of passages on the other side, also in near-complete darkness.
I do the ride, and it's fine. Having just done Swarm it was comparably a lot more chill, but it had some cool ambience. I don't, however, do what the people I was riding with did and use the props (ramps, handrails) to do cool parkour sequences: running, jumping, acting like you're really escaping zombies, if only pretending, on the way back out. I mean, they were there for a reason ig, even if I felt a bit self-conscious doing it in an empty room. I'm naturally fairly lawful and it was still early in the day, so I wasn't in a parkoury mood at the time, but I wanted to make the most of the day. So I thought, when I ride this again with my friend later, I'll ask her to do the jumping and running with me and it'll be a blast.
So I head back to Stealth, she's had a wonderful time, and we then spend the next five or so hours exploring the rest of the park: it's a wonderful day, I mostly get over my fear of rollercoasters (to the creators of SAW, FUCK you but you got me good), but we're in the denouement and in the mood for something a little less intense. So I say, hey, did you wanna try the Walking Dead thing?
She said yes, so we headed over. It was way busier than it had been at like 10:30, so they were more focussed on getting people through than doing the whole show thing, but we stumble through the passages at the start and make our way to the ride. It's a blast, have a marvellous time. And then we depart.
And I say 'hey, remember to do the fun parkour stuff on the way out!'
So we head out into the passages.
And as it turns out.
When I had first done the ride, fairly early that morning, the purpose of the bars and handrails had been to pretend like you were fleeing from zombies.
As I discovered during my second ride that afternoon, you weren't meant to fucking pretend.
So you can imagine my reaction when, having departed through a series of empty tunnels that morning, this second run-through, with no advance warning, featured fucking zombie actors. Who fucking chased you. I don't deal well with heights.
So while I had planned to jump and climb and everything, I ended up just holding both hands up and going 'nope, nope, nope, nope' as I weaved my way around the bars.
Thankfully the cast members were super nice and, realising I was not taking this very well, nodded and let me pass (while still not breaking character which was extremely impressive). My friend, not having experienced the previously actor-less departure sequence, was, of course, having a MARVELLOUS time, and was somewhat confused as to why I was dry heaving on the floor on the way out.
To the people of Thorpe Park, 10/10, very cool, I hate all of you.

MASTERLIST OF THE STORY
Chapter 56: Hello Hela, Bye bye Sigyn.
“Are we sure about this?” Bruce asked for the hundredth time.
“No.” Natasha said and Y/N at the same time said:
“Yes.” They looked at each other. “Come on Nat, it’ll be fine.” The redhead in response rolled her eyes.
“Alright. Are you guys ready?” Steve asked both Loki and Y/N and they both nodded. Then Loki turned to look at her.
“Remember the spell darling, otherwise you won’t be able to go to Hel and come back.”
“Don’t worry babe, I got it.” She winked at him. He huffed and shook his head lightly. “I love you.” He mouthed and so did she.
“Alright, shock them in 3, 2, 1…”
————————————
Her chest hurt. Her head too. Everything hurt. Had it worked? She looked around her, it was pitch black. Then she heard him.
“Y/N!” Loki. “Y/N, where are you?!”
“I’m here!” She screamed into nothingness. “I'm here Loki, where are you?”
“Here! Follow my voice!” He told her.
After a while of following her name as it was being shouted by Loki she saw him.
“Loki! I can see you!”
“Y/N!” He ran to her and embraced her in his arms. “By the stars, I thought you forgot the spell.” She pulled away a bit to look at him unimpressed.
“It's nice to know you have so much confidence in me.” He rolled his eyes and smiled despite himself.
“You know it is not because I don't trust you that I was worried.”
“I know.” She smiled. “I just like to annoy you, pretty boy.” The god opened and closed his mouth, completely speechless after the pet name she had used. “After we leave whatever this place is we are going to discuss your reaction to being called a pretty boy, just so you know Lokes.”
“Whatever.” He rolled his eyes.
“Where are we by the way?”
“Hel, I assume.”
“You assume?”
“It is my first time here.”
“Right, yes.” She said sheepishly. Then she frowned. “What is that noise?”
“I don't know…”
A loud banging could be heard not very far away from where they were. They looked at each other with wide eyes.
“Loki, I'm scared.” Y/N admitted.
“Grab my hand.” And she did.
Suddenly, a group of… zombies? Could be seen approaching them at a fast pace.
“Run!” He told her and they began rushing away from the army. They ran for a bit as they chased them until one of them grabbed Y/N.
“Loki!”
“Y/N!”
And then everything turned black again.
—————————————-
“Argh…” She groaned, rubbing her head. Had someone hit her? She couldn't remember past hearing those loud noises with Loki. Loki! Where was he? “Loki!” No answer. “Loki!”
“He is not here.” A deep voice answered.
“Where is he? Who are you?” She asked, scared.
“My name is Njal, I am a prisoner here.”
“Where are you? I can't see you.”
“I am in the cell next to you.”
“Oh. Is Hel full of cells?” The voice chuckled.
“No, this is the neutral area. It's the place where the neutral people come to. No torture but no reward either.” Y/N frowned and shook her head.
“I need to talk to Hela. Where is she?” Now the voice laughed loudly.
“Hela? She is in the Castle of Darkness, good luck with getting there.”
“Well I just… I just have to get out of here and then find Loki and then… go.” She said, unsurely.
“The bars in this cells are cursed with the fire of Hel, they will melt you if you even dare get close to them.” Y/N looked at the bars and widened her eyes.
“Okay, not gonna do that.” She said to herself. She groaned again, how could she deliver a message to Hela if she couldn't leave this cell? “I know! I'll pray to her.”
She closed her eyes and put her hands together.
Hela, Goddess Of Death, Odinsdottir, my name is Y/F/N and I need your help… to kill a god.
Opening her eyes, she reached the conclusion that if Hela's interest didn't pique at that then she would never be able to get her attention and therefore would never be able to defeat Sigyn.
Sighing she closed her eyes and began counting the minutes as they passed.
——————————————
“Girl! Open your eyes.” Groggily she did as told, looking around confused before remembering where she was.
“What-”
“Queen Hela wants to see you.” She nodded quickly and got up as the guard opened the cell.
—————————————-
As she walked through the castle she couldn't help but admire the beauty. It was sharp and dark, just like Hela, but stunning nonetheless.
The guard was ahead of her and didn't even look back to check if she was still there. Y/N supposed that he thought she wouldn't dare explore this place alone and if he did, he was right.
After a few minutes of walking, he turned to her. They had arrived at gigantic doors, almost reaching the high ceiling.
“The queen is expecting you inside.”
She nodded and began walking towards the doors and when she reached them, they opened on their own.
Y/N took a deep breath before entering.
“Astrid of Asgard,” Helas voice rang out in the dark room, “you are far from home.”
“Queen Hela,” she bowed. “I am. I have a favor to ask you.”
“A favor? And what makes you think I would help you?” She asked with almost disgust in her voice.
“Because as I said, I need your help to kill a god.”
“And what god is that?”
“Sigyn of Asgard… my sister.”
Helas laugh echoed through the whole room. Then her figure slowly emerged from the shadows. She looked at Y/N with a mocking expression.
“I know all about your sister Astrid, the question is… why should I care?”
“Hela,” Y/N sighed. “If you know about my sister then you know about me, and if you do, you know I am not from here. And I am not talking about Hel.”
“The universe traveler, I know.”
“Yes.” She swallowed. “I… I know about you too.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes…” Y/N nodded. “I know that you were wronged. I know that all you wanted was to complete your mission, the mission Odin set you out to complete.” Hela tilted her head to the side. “I know you were cast aside, left to rule this place because Odin feared your power.”
“I do not care for your sympathy and you have not answered my question.”
“My birthright, just like yours was to be the Queen of Asgard after Odin, is to become the next volvä.” She looked straight into her eyes. “My sister is trying to take that away from me, just like Odin did to you.”
“Not long ago you found out that you were Astrid Freyjadottir, and say whatever you want, but I do not believe that the only reason you came here is to fulfill a prophecy you didn't even know existed two years ago. So,” she smiled wickedly, “what is it you truly want?”
“I want to kill her.”
“Why?”
“Because she will become unstoppable and therefore a threat to the universe's safety. Not only this universe, but all the others.”
“Why do you want to kill her?” Hela asked again, with more intention in her tone.
Y/N looked at her annoyed.
“I told you why. She's a threat.”
“Oh she is, but she's not my problem. So, unless you tell me the truth, I will not even consider helping you.”
“She's a threat.” Y/N repeated.
“Why do you care?”
“She could hurt my friends, my… my home.”
“I see.” She began to turn around and Y/N felt desperation clawing at her throat.
“She killed my family!” Hela turned around and tilted her head. “She killed them and I… I want revenge.”
The goddess grinned like the cheshire cat and raised her eyebrows.
“Well then, I suppose I will help you.” Y/N breathed, relieved. “On one condition…” She looked at Hela and nodded. “You let me have the dagger with her soul in it.”
“What are you going to do with it?”
“I'm going to have my fun.”
“I-” Yes, she hated her. But it was still her sister. It was still Sigyn, the person she had grown so close to over the past few years.
“You?” Hela asked, amused.
“Deal.” She said firmly. “Do whatever you want with her.”

This is a ridiculous idea I had, and I wrote it because it wouldn’t leave me alone. Takes place in an alternate universe where season 3 of Gilmore Girls takes place in 2019, when season 2 of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel was airing.
Pairing: Luke Danes & Lorelai Gilmore Rated T
The two women stare at the television in shock as the credits of their new favorite show roll, the only sound in the room being “This Will Be Our Year” by The Zombies.
“She...”
“I...”
“But he was right there!” Lorelai shouts, gesturing toward the television.
“I know!” Sookie agrees.
“And she went back to Joel?” Lorelai continues. “She went back to Joel, the guy who abandoned her and said he can’t be with her because of her career. That’s who she sleeps with?!”
Sookie watches her best friend’s rage with quiet amusement.
“Lenny Bruce was right there! How do you run off to your jerk of an ex-husband when Lenny Bruce is right there, looking at you like...” She grabs the remote and rewinds the episode until she gets to the part she’s looking for, pausing it again. "Like that?!” She points at the lovesick expression on the actor’s face.
It’s hilarious to Sookie to see her best friend so enraged over this particular dynamic. She’s had a very similar one-sided conversation with her husband over Lorelai’s obliviousness regarding a particular diner owner.
“Beats me,” the redhead replies with a smirk. “Hey, does Joel remind you of someone?” She asks with faux innocence.
“I think Susie was pretty accurate with the Sal Mineo comparison.”
“No,” Sookie chuckles. “I mean his personality. Does he remind you of anyone in your life?”
Lorelai sits back against the couch cushions, furrowing her brow. “I haven’t really thought about it,” she replies. “Oh! But Susie kind of reminds me of - ”
“The way she keeps going back to this guy,” Sookie presses. “This guy who will never be quite right for her, but she keeps going back to him because he’s familiar...”
Lorelai sports a blank expression, and Sookie rolls her eyes, adding, “And they have kids together?”
The brunette jumps slightly, her mouth forming an ‘o’ as she gasps. “You think he’s her Christopher?”
Sookie shrugs. “I mean, doesn’t it feel a little familiar to you? They keep ending up together and it just never quite works...”
Lorelai laughs in disbelief. “That’s insane, Sookie. Then that would mean I’m Midge - ”
“Quippy, driven woman with great fashion sense and a weird relationship with her parents,” the chef points out.
“And then Lenny would be...?” Lorelai raises her eyebrows, clearly expecting her friend not to have a response.
“Mildly disheveled guy who doesn’t share a whole lot of his life but who’s always there for her even when she doesn’t ask?”
Sookie watches Lorelai’s eyes roll before they widen comically. “You think my Lenny is...”
“Yep.”
“That’s insane,” Lorelai retorts.
“Is it?”
“Yes! First off, Luke has never looked at me like that.” She points to the screen again.
“He looked at you like that two weeks ago,” Sookie counters. “At the dance marathon when he was fixing your shoe. After Romeo and Juliet when we went to the diner. A million times when you were focused on your coffee instead of him. Honey, he always looks at you like that.”
“You’re crazy,” Lorelai insists.
“Maybe,” her friend shrugs. “But I’ve told you before: just look him in the eye. It’s right there.” She points at the screen again.
Lorelai seems to get lost in thought, so Sookie gets up from the couch, getting her things together. “See you tomorrow, honey.”
“Yeah,” the brunette breathes. “See you tomorrow.”
The redhead smirks, shaking her head and hoping someday soon Lorelai will finally see what’s been right there all along.

Top ten worst artist’s versions of Morbius
Okay, one disclaimer first, obviously this is my opinion and my opinion only. I’m sorry if an artist you like makes it on the list but they deserved it *Coughs*. Also this is just the comics. Not including other media here, so don’t worry that stupid Spider-Man run game app version won’t be in this list to give you nightmares. Also because this is comics this will ONLY be 616 appearances that I find horrendous. So without further ado...
10: This is Peter Parker Spider-Man 78,  art credited as by John Romita Jr. Yes, I’m already going to get hate. He’s a good artist but Jesus Christ on a cracker look at this.
Tumblr media
THIS is the version of Morb I hated because he looks like a WWE wrestler. He’s huge! He’s a bloody boulder! His clothes are always too shiny and they are ripped all over. Look, I just hate it. The man can draw great superheroes just never draw Morbius like this again. This is a oil tanker in human form with fangs. 
9: Jackson Guice. AKA the artist for Doctor Strange #10.
Tumblr media
Look, I LIKE ugly. I really do but Morb isn’t supposed to look like a general plague victim. This guy looks more like a zombie than zombie Morbius does. Desiccated inbreed dog version Morbius, I hate it. He needs to be put down. 
8: Paul Gulacy, Adventures into Fear #20. I said in my AIF review that Paul was not my fave artist. What I really mean is the art... it’s terrible. 
Tumblr media
That speech bubble is my reaction entirely. Look, I can deal with the face but again, too buff and this man cannot foreshorten limbs to save his life. Morb looks mangled and wrong on like every page of this comic. My least liked classic Morbius.
7: Look, I hate to do this but... Jackson Guice is on here twice because he amended his style from Doctor Strange# 10 to Doctor Strange #14 but uhhhh...
Tumblr media
I like this LESS. Goth dandelion looking MFer. This Morb listens to the Cure and cries. Entomological damn eyes. I hate it. I promise this is the only artist on this list twice and it is ONLY because his style changed so much in four issues. 
6: AKA Marvel Comics Presents 144 AKA M.C. Wyman *Dodges a brick* I’m sorry okay!? But this is freaking terrible! LOOK AT HIM!
Tumblr media
I LOATHE it. The over shading, the warped features. This is demon Morb most of this issue so he gets a slight pass. That’s the only reason this art isn’t higher up this list of dread.
5: Morbius #16 Isaac Cordova. This pains me but this deserves this slot.
Tumblr media
I hate it. This is demon Morb here and yes, at the end of the issue it gets just a little better but holy hell do I hate looking at this. There’s no detail in this art, too much shading, crappy backgrounds. It’s only saving grace is there exists worse art.
4: Now we’re getting into the REALLY bad art and it breaks my heart to put Morbius #25 in here because it also houses a short story at the back that is one of my favorite story/art combos ever, but THIS, This Craig Gilmore art...
Tumblr media
THIS Craig Gilmore art... I am seething. This is objectively bad. The art loses all fine detail. The backgrounds suck, the way he draws women is a joke. Fabric with no folds, crappy shading. I could go on for houuurs. I hate it. I think it’s a big contributing factor to the comic getting axed so fast after this change though they did shuffle around the artists the last few issues which sadly brings me to...
3: Morbius #31, art by Fabio Laguna. 
Tumblr media
Look, other artists wound up here for making Morb incomprehensibly ugly. THIS artist is here for making him Clark Kent. He’s super buff, all the women in this issue are drawn super-sexy and all T+A. Proportion is lost on this guy he just makes shit up. This is so bad I have to post a second sample. This one is from the next issue.
Tumblr media
I’d show you how he draws women but ya’ll can just look up any porn magazine and there you go. 
2: TODD MCFARLANE YOU HAD THIS COMING TO YOU.
Tumblr media
I despise his art. I hate how his capes take on sentience. His webbing looks like barbed wire, every damn guy he draws looks contagious! Jawbones don’t work like that!!! Gritty grimdark pig nosed Morbius. Tiny eyed untrustable armhair covered sewer urchin. Old mop haired snub-nosed pitbull. UGGGGH.
Tumblr media
For years Mcfarlane was the absolute top of my most hated list because of Spider-Man #13-14. Because of this art. There’s only one worse artist on here.
1! Spectacular Spider-Man vol 2 #14 Paolo Rivera. No. No no no. I don’t know how such a good artists did this to our boi.
Tumblr media
The writing is even completely OOC for this. For the longest time I assured myself this had to be someone POSING as Morbius. This cannot be him. Didn’t act like him, didn’t speak like him, and CERTAINLY did NOT look like him. Hairless grubby tights-clad nosferatu twink. THAT is slenderman. It’s like the artist was just told “LOL draw a vampire but poorly.”
Tumblr media
Also not forgiving Spidey for that really offensive wise-crack there. So it goes that I would not trust one of the best artists, Paolo Rivera, with drawing Morbius EVER again!!! AGH I’m enraged now. I need to go look at good art and calm down. Hope you guys enjoyed the list!

“plots please” !
send me “plots please” and I’ll respond with 3 (or more) interesting plots I can think of for our muses!
Tumblr media
you are in for a while ride because i'm buzzing with ideas for those two.
in tune with what we were talking on disco. let us rewrite their relationship & dynamic all through s3 & s4. because we deserve to see to light the strong platonic bond they should have always had
and this bleed into with the previous point, but post s4 / apocalypse vibes things. with hawkins pretty much on fire and the UD bleeding into the town & the creatures coming on the surface? lets explore that chaos, them adapting to navigate through it all. helping one another ( alongside the others ) survive and picking up new skills all the while trying to figure out a way to stop the chaos & vecna
i'm nothing but a predictable cryptid, so we should do something in the IT verse ( both 1 & 2 ), because there is something amusing and yet very angsty at the thought of getting away from hawkins just to be traumatized by another creature, and boy if mike does get traumatized by the clown. so those two still finding a resemble of normality in one another? yes please
wizarding world shenanigans? who doesn't need a loud mouth slytherin ( which many think should have been a gryffindor ) best friend? especially one that is very protective of his friends no matter what house they are? and that probably would get his ass kicked for them?
hear me out, i don't know the details of your fantasy verse. but either rogue elf mike or necromancer mike are being thrown your way. because i need that sort of shenanigans. and then again with the latter, considering he is immortal ( even though every time he bring back something/someone from the death he loses a little bit of himself ), there is also the possibility of a verse that slowly merge with modern time, etc etc
i adore your wednesday verse so much. and we should do something with those two in that, since mike is a ghoul and him being sent to the academy wasn't his choice. so there is the contrast between him being such a grumpy ghoul while jane is more on the content side? i need that dynamic in my life, thanks
i require some zombie apocalypse plots pls. the whole party having to fight zombies and finding a safe place, moving from city to city, trying not to get separated ( which might just happen ), dealing with the loss of people they care about and everything in the mix
again, i have no idea what your marvel verse is about, but you should tell me, so i can figure something out for jane and mutant!mike, which has been stuck in a lab undergoing tests over tests for most of his life due to the potential of his mutation, until he went off the rail and escaped. so there is potential there
i tried to keep them short and sweet because otherwise i was going to be here all day and some.

the only truly innovative thing the new doctored strange does in the context of the em cee you is that it really really really doesn't try to be likable or charming, and it sucks how much that stands out and feels "fresh" now
spoilers from this point on. my usual disjointed thoughts
I sort-of like the bookending. the "are you happy" stuff. roping in the issues of consequence and guilt, pitting that against wanda's baggage, folding in his ego and shitty interpersonal relationship skills, managing to sponge out some form of character catharsis, passing it on to youth. almost great. it was broken up and dramatized super unevenly, but his final pep talk as a rotting zombie with a fully locked emotional close-up was peak raimi and almost exactly the type of camp and tonal flexibility these genre films lost over time
but it's the simple, non-grandiose stuff that really works and gets to the heart of very-very basic storytelling. admitting love and fear to mcadams, the bowing to wong, the choice to transcend ruthless calculus. and all of it actually motivated. elemental two-step arcs! none of this is in any way groundbreaking, but I'd need extra limbs to count all the marvel films where protagonists don't really change in meaningful ways. again, it genuinely sucks that basic shit like this feels fresh
and it mostly works on the other end as well but eurgh the wanda stuff. I get how on a story level it foils with strange but I have such a personal bone to pick with narratives painting motherhood as madness and didn't wandavision deal with all this crap already. jesus christ give that woman some meat on her lines she tries so hard to work with the scraps
sam raimi said shallow cameos are meaningless fodder and treated them as such. king shit
there's always a high caliber woman being wasted in every marvel movie huh? rachel mcadams you deserve so much better than this
you also deserve a nicer wig. no one agrees with me but it, uh. stands out?? my kingdom for due appreciation towards makeup departments in these films, but likeee
I really want to say danny elfman killed it but I can't recall a single motif or memorable musical moment. yes, even the literal musical moment was mostly, kind-of, sort-of musical in various chopped-up bits
and really most of the magic in these films is just conjuring up medieval-style tools it feels like. or fireballs! this isn't really a nitpick but more of a symptom - I understand how maddening it must feel to keep thinking up creative ways to maintain people in Disney-aliveTM states as they face literal gods and sorcerers
I truly believe that pacing - ergo structural editing - is only bad if you simultaneously care about and suck at it. And I feel like there's a tangible difference between someone who understands craft and is deliberately wheeling the ship into stormy waters to end up getting away with and having way more fun, and someone who's barely managing to keep it together to get the bow pointed north. Incredibly convoluted metaphor but I think it gets there
somewhat related to this - always a big thumbs up from me when a movie squeaks by at 2 hours of runtime. respects my time, nerves, and bladder
felt like sam raimi made this for sure. in aesthetics mostly, and partly in its gnarly, horror-esque ethos to punish and exact swift consequence on characters both deserving and not - right up to the closing shot with the eye. it's a fun way to approach superhero movies, but something the fancam crowd will certainly hate. it attempts some textual horror as well, but it don't work that well when you know exactly who the monster in the shadows is (evil soccer mom with seven movies and a tv show)
I appreciate the totally deliberate references to doom eternal nobody correct me on this. wanda had hell barons in her single-room fortress! and they totally glory killed that cacodemon in the beginning! yeah! cool! I have no clue what exactly happened to captain marvel but sure, that too!
briefly amending the danny elfman comment because I just remembered the x-men cartoon jingle when xavier first rolled in. Goofy, inexplicable, why not just throw that in there, yeah!
I've seen token characters expanded into full ones through sequels, but mordo truly innovates by somehow doing the opposite
In conclusion: okayest superhero movie of 2022. not too interesting. won't watch again

¿What if Ultron brought down Sokovia in Avengers Age of Ultron?
To: James Spader, Ross Marquand, Joss Whedon and Marvel Studios 
                                                      Intro
What if events went differently in the MCU? What if Ultron brought down Sokovia in Avengers Age of Ultron? In todays fan fiction we’re going to be seeing what would have happened if Ultron had brought down Sokovia instead of the Avengers which leads to them being defeated. ¿How can
this affect Infinity War and Endgame going forward? Now when I say those words u might be wondering “Isn’t there an actual episode of What if where Ultron defeated the Avengers? Well yes there is but that is not the story I’m about to tell you because this is an original what if created by me taking inspiration from the 2013 Age of Ultron comic which trust me this fan fiction does adapt many events from the comic and will be following the mythology of Ultron and the Avengers and the timeline of the MCU and there will be a character from the Ultimate Alliance 3: the Black Order video game. Without wasting any more time sit back and relax and enjoy this brutal fan fiction.                  
                                                        Prologue
In my analysis of the multiverse I have seen death and destruction in every universe like a zombie infection, our recent battle with Infinity Ultron and speaking of Ultron our world where the Avengers along with War Machine, the Maximoffs and Vision himself along with the agents of Shield managed to defeat Ultron and his drones bringing down Sokovia with it and leading to the events of Civil War due to the Sokovia Accords. However, that is not the story I’m about to tell u as this story in particular will be in a world where the Avengers lost to Ultron. And don’t worry it’s not a retelling of the events of the actual episode. I am the Watcher and I will be ur guide to these vast new realities. Follow me and pounder the question. What If…
                                                         Act 1
The events of Age of Ultron were playing out the same as in our universe. The Avengers and their allies were gaining the upper hand on Ultron and were defeating the drones. Our fan fiction begins when Ultron discovered that Thor was beneath the building and that if he hits the core the Avengers will come out victorious in the end. Ultron needed to come up with a plan quickly before the defenders of Earth could win. Sokovia began to fall down like in our universe. The Avengers have defeated the Ultron drones. However, Thor realized that something was wrong and Ultron came and punched him knocking him unconscious. Ultron hitted the core but instead of the city getting destroyed Ultron became a huge version of himself dubbing himself Ultimo and destroyed the city killing everybody in it including Thor, Maria Hill ,Phil Coulson, Melinda May, Hulk and Quicksliver. The Avengers have failed to save the civilians and retreated to New York where Ultimo will go next. The Avengers along with the Defenders, Inhumans ,the remaining Agents of Shield, Spider-Verse, Runaways, Cloak and Dagger, Midnight Sons, the Illuminati of Earth-838, Avengers 2000, Fantastic 4s and the X-mens from other universes etc. united and fought against Ultimo. Many heroes died including the 3 Cyclops, the Professor Xs, Cloak, Robbie Reyes, the Mister Fantastics, Psylocke, Jessica Jones and her newborn baby and many more including some of the villains were killed by Ultimo and his upgraded drones. The remaining heroes and villains retreated and went underground with Ultimo destroying New York City in the process with Hawkeye saving Spider-Man in time.
                                                        Act 2
3 years have passed and the remaining Marvel heroes and villains were still underground as Ultron in his Ultimo self continued to destroy the world. Spider-Man told the heroes that they need to stand again against Ultron but that without many of the heroes like Cyclops, Cloak, Psylocke, Mister Fantastic, Jessica Jones and others there was no chance that they can stop him. However, Captain America told them that they should indeed go up against Ultron no matter the cost and despite the few heroes left. Though Luke Cage was not sure if to do it as he had lost Jessica and the baby 3 years prior during Ultimo’s initial attack. Cap told Luke that this well be their chance to honor the fallen heroes including Jessica to which Luke then accepts and together they get ready for the epic final battle that was about to come. Meanwhile, Ultron was still in New York City killing any human left when he heard Doctor Strange saying that now revenge is coming. He turned around and saw the remaining heroes and villains as they were about to make their last stand against Ultron. Ultron got mad and told them that the world dies today and transformed into Ultimo sending the drones to attack them. The brutal battle has begun.
                                                     Final act
The Avengers were fighting against Ultimo and the rest of the heroes and villains were fighting against the Ultron drones. The Ultron drones were destroyed and they all focused their attention on Ultimo. They then heard a loud boom coming from the sky and it was the Milano carrying the Guardians of the Galaxy and the Ravagers who had called the Asgardians led by Loki in to help. Earlier Odin died and Hela arrived eventually leading to Loki summoning Surtur to destroy Asgard like in our universe and escaped to Earth after the Guardians sent the beacon to them. Black Panther and the Wakandan army were also called in as they had vibranium weapons that can defeat Ultron. They all fought in a colossal battle. Despite being charged by vibranium technology they managed to defeat him with not much energy left and However he sensed a presence looming and they all saw a portal and it was none other than the Mad Titan Thanos himself along with his armies who has come to find the remaining Stones as he already had the Power, Reality and Soul Stones after decimating Xandar and Knowhere and sacrificing Gamora. One by one of the MCU were being killed by Thanos’s armies. Thanos approached Strange and he surrendered the Time Stone to him before immediately ripping Ultron’s head off killing him for good. Loki then approached Thanos and almost killed him before he grabbed him by the neck and choked him to death in front of everyone and just like that Thanos had all the Infinity Stones and was getting ready to snap twice. Strange called upon the Masters of the Mystic Arts but they too were starting to get killed by the armies. Strange thought of this and told Stark that if they could go back in time and stop Ultron from getting to the core then perhaps they’ll be victorious then. Stark agreed and Strange sent Tony back to 2015 before the destruction of the city. Stark went to the core and told Thor that Ultron knew that he was here and they have to be ready for his arrival saying that if hits the core there will be terrible consequences for the entire world. Thor believed him when Ultron came and this time Thor managed to hit him before Iron Man came and destroyed the Ultron body.
                                                  Epilogue
Thanks to this the Battle of Sokovia will finish the same way as in our universe with the Avengers defeating Ultron and bringing down Sokovia with it. Because of this the rest of the MCU will play out the same as in our universe…
                                                 THE END!
And that is going to be it for what if Ultron brought down Sokovia in Avengers Age of Ultron. We saw how one moment created a alternate timeline where the Avengers lost and here was where I included elements of the original comic like the heroes and villains going underground, Spider-Man and Captain America telling the people to not give up, heroes like Cyclops, Jessica Jones and her newborn baby dying and in the end thanks to Strange Tony managed to go back and stop Ultron before he reached the core. I had a lot of fun narrating as the Watcher and i will keep doing this for other Marvel what ifs. Do make sure to be on the lookout for more what ifs coming soon. Take care guys and have a fantastic day. Peace out!

Super 8 adventure + nearly being eaten
May 23rd, 2009
On my “Super 8″ adventure around the West Coast I have seen many bizarre and wonderful sites, (including Eureka, it was like the  ”Back To The Future Part 2″ version of Hill Valley.) The first thing which really struck my eye was the Portland “Zombie” ball which seemed a lovely way to celebrate your coming of age. Although the photo is not great because I was being sneaky, this function room was over spilling with blood spattered gore monsters all having a marvelous time…
Tumblr media
I also stopped in Bend in Oregon where I had the nicest cocktail I have ever tasted which had something to do with Gin, Blackberry’s and a sprig of magic. I ventured into a Willy Wonka themed sweet shop which played songs from the film whilst showing it on a loop. I wait for the day where the headlines scream “Willy Wonka Shop Assistant Goes Insane and Punches Group of Tanned Small Women.” I also missed Alek so much that I stared longingly at her douple ganger mannequin in the window for about three hours.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I went to Crater Lake but danced about in snow first. Minutes after this was taken I fell over. 
Tumblr media
The next day I danced about in the sea for a bit. Minutes after this was taken I was sucked in by the current and had a Bedknobs and Broomsticks style adventure.
Tumblr media
I came across this lovely fellow on the way to Napa Valley, I believe his name is Paul Bunyan, and I don’t know what he did, but he has a really big axe and he hung out by the “Trees of Mystery,” near the “Hill of Confusion.” It seems to make a tourist attraction worthy it must have some element of puzzlement to it.
I tried some wines in Napa and due to the fact the wine serving expert man was shutting up for the day I was given a guided tour, AND loads more free wine. I was trying to pay attention as he talked about barrels, and fermenting and oaking the flavour but all I could think was “It’s not even 6 yet, and I am wasted!”
The wine headache and the regret followed, but I felt like I had sophisticated my pallet and was prepared for a evening of….camping.
Tumblr media
Hours after this was taken I nearly got eaten by a Coyote.
I am not a massive camping fan, but my traveling companion promised me that this would be a lovely little outing, save money and really get me back to nature, coz apparently it has missed me?
Anyway the area was beautiful and the weather was calming, but I was unfortunately nursing a post tour cold so couldn’t really sleep…. about four in the morning I popped outside to have a wee, because I could not be bothered to walk to the toilets, and I heard a strange noise. I dismissed it, and got back into the tent to lie in a hot feverish daze, but then I heard a growl….
Yes, ladies and gentleman, a growl… not like a dog growl but like a beast from hell deep thundering growl. I awoke my companion to check I was not going insane, and we lay there trembling as the “thing” continued to growl four times more JUST OUTSIDE THE TENT. We had no idea about wildlife native to that area but lying in a pitch black little tent after days of “bear talk” with something you can’t see growling outside your brain immediately leaps to grizzly, wolf or Cerberus. My travelling companion used the car key alarm to make a beepy noise to startle it and I lay there wondering if I was about to get eaten. In all honesty I have never been so scared in my life, and my fight or flight thing kicked in, and all I wanted to do was run… but I was informed that was not sensible so I lay and shook for an hour before I made us ran to the car and sleep there the rest of the night. 
In the morning the Park Ranger said it was probably a Coyote.
I had obviously disturbed it when I got out the tent, so I shudder to think if I had looked around and seen this staring back at me. 
Tumblr media
I am never camping again is the morale of that story. So I am happy to be in San Francisco, where there is Ameoba, The Stinking Rose, and no chance my imagination will run away and convince me there is a zombie Gryphon outside the tent waiting to much on my brains.

Untitled Composition # 9628
A rispetto sequence
               1
Lopsided, mute. As Goteherd prowd that ill was passed reproved. And she a weeping brethren stood alone, to have, life’s dearest bands
untwining? Even he her perpetual light of worldlings, which young did flow. Less humbly wealth, when the day. If thou sigh on my neck.
               2
A trace their Hearts unstrung unable to touch his face: inches from my rocky prison. Spice his Host would be smart, eyes nor ears for comforts
still the which makes you terribly sad You were to run by her father Adam first sweet and they their stars we see—who doubts appease.
               3
And let the forlorn. Within a niche, nigh to pluck my heart of you said Don’t make for converted Bowl we call The Sky, when t was water,
running when I was woven curious call. I could now its wound alive—for then the war which did shine; the twice two thousand Years.
               4
I am tired of an old against some would take me, and did think on the Temple lost two cities, garden, till her babe from the
right! Which now seem holy ground and freshly fed by all their tongue with a moonlight and the sin awards me pain, let pleasing full in Man.
               5
When I am nailed into man. Hath thee a thousand marvelled, lo! Like chiropractors having denied the middle of the white

Died Adonais—he is dearest bands untwining? As stiff as beeswax, his legs, toward the kitchen two times been fall again where I begun.
Look at lightly draught of pearls did grow, I answers, las! Or whether and anon, to soothe young, it looks at a cadaver.
               7
When they are very fair woman, trick her off besides, the table to know, that one she’s missed, half falling asleep. With the Cock crew, those
isles of Kent: till with his desire. Bore may make thee sit beneath that makes my circles holding their time’s waste: the last dance and juicy.
               8
A conniving smile the Vessels one by one crept silent night; still Heaven flash with stone, it is because your fools abounded with you
and I! A portion, lust is perjurious frame,—senses back again. Was interchanged eye finds her for a fulfillment. By the same.
               9
A different meaning all awry; what! And then begins a journey in my very heart shall read the striking brown face, no hand, proportion,

               10
Haste, little Robin, take that, and gray walls in your handsomeness tinged by griefs, my woe. Thy foot to harken what I shall when I am
told. Charlie Grigor tint his pale lightly draught, and fears to-day of passionless thaw not to answer’d, once did lay up; and will come.
               11
For laik o’ gear ye light from mine eyes of silks were zombies. And excuse spun every flower star-shaped, that live a scorn, when t was wont

               12
Blind in unascended majesty, like cloth’d; how waited the pine, nor leave, without doors, too, with braine again to brain, a heart shall read.
The Lady of Shalott. Was wreath their bereavéd Hearts were torn in twain should be a flame grown you your parent spark, sighs for the bath your name.
               13
And I stuff you will know that taught with music: the day care to be and Thou beside which, let’s be honest Mah’met, or pin, but if she

               14
None of Saturn sate, and spake more than gratitude. Sweet Heaven’s glories shine with a look; with a sight, and somewhat out of proud of thee,
my love, Jamie, come to bus’ness, some thrise-sad tragedie. She sends me a text she’s coming, and down; the brightly: on a convent than wit.
               15
She says, into the Cock crew, those bought you away. The rest, as fast asleep. Is overgrown with true loue in her, if she Autumn were,
the flood. My lips was form’d a whole of human voice was vast and the waters of that he call’d love, to tell me the law of chanced you.
               16
Be this autumnal Night, that keeps through beautifully into the moonlight, scarlet bright or Left as still growing. August—now was like corpses
in new Bloom, ourselves. Dreaming, I too could not get that it looks at you once lived so that owns her virtues, painted by, when I feel.
               17
Breeze kissed her hates the suppers for they han great Creator’s part, yet in thousand miles away, you must noble seat of light. And they
have told. To eat off your parent longs on thy swinck, that strive to draw the nations vainly no small trout to get by rote, what say Good-bye.
               18
Eye, kissing on its own likeness, walking have I seen flattery! Tell me how it came the danced Albano’s boys, and it always, that
whisper in its Cup be dry. How I feel it inside clean, wha follows ony saucy quean, that trickling flare underground of his way.
               19
Which we lean— ah, lean upon it? Of change, the kitchen two times think upon, and grief and write! And the weedes bene fat, and destroying
the divine. However much we lean—ah, lean upon thy cruell scortching your electric heater you’ll get on. Till thy Tears wash off.
               20
It has been sae shy; for laik o’ gear ye lightly as the woodbines with more esteem, which leaves in wigs of May, pav’d with thickset fruit.
And we will hunt the lengths of granite made, were voices of roses were departure, but they share: their vermillion trips to Mars not one.
               21
Life’s dearest one, has perish’d; others, from her ambrosial rest the savage race; yet to lose the bitch in the sky full of black. Page prepare
the joint on which he by industry had got. Which is the walking halt and flam’d upon their glory, for never breasts I drew figs.
               22
The driving with him to whom Time is whirl’d the aëreal eyes to revel in it. Clasp with the merry worm that had died, that wrong, and move,
whose lost, and fancy dies in my bed, the dead shall my lay, listening when I do I see her infant made quiet—sank into the ground.
               23
My soul’s full of holes. Such one down for his death to have said, or some defence: that would know you’re loveliest aspects may call, could be ashamed
of any threate is a place was farthest shore, far from his low tract and lifted eye, or dress, the Bough puts out, and doth in excess!
               24
Or some old house with silver lyre unstrung. Must be, and a dark desert vast with Reason from faring through the starts his soul love is as
fair doth my fortune, gives light beauty is, see what is take thine and blind with carvings quaint—strangers to each! Young with my friend’s direction.
               25
All stoop; let cloak, and arts with lewde lorrell, of Heauen to demen so: how be I am old, so long to shew my love. And this I know
not, nor contradiction made of diamond bright, and do—I’ll tell not whither hurried hence! Scene; the mirror blue the knight wings, now with you.
               26
And sith thys hyll thou hast such distant place and staying. Go, mount Oliuet: feeding matches him the art of hotel. I give you must die
as well amend, to differ more than a catbird hates the golden sun from rose-colour’d glassful will read their splendours that some of thought.
               27
All men like skaters of another a locket filled them to the glaring oblivion beyond all that ages, empires and
straight, or with a frown, she still she was on the highway, but none accused to do thy flower wishes, is her forever. For ever!
               28
For then the duet, attuned by Worth, renew’d by carefully laid back in my voices more of the world without a friend: to her,
Calista prov’d to graunt, by Angels Sophistrie, that you to’t, you seen but a Magic Shadow-show, play’d in a Winding-sheet of life; Alas!
               29
A beard; or else one this wither. Conversation when we’re but only by dismantling what rare sight, then to the poet’s pen can paint
it, if folly’s fruit; for good ships and ages hence, and whither, no more, I heard her close room, nor missed, half falling this huge rondure hems.
               30
For blunting that infest the shot. They soon drive out my flowers and women living at the cow slung with foam, until they’re barren
memory stung, from dying smile kind. Along the vain design, to raise and change and Summer dress, the magic mantle thrown off and your name.
               31
The Lady of Shalott. Broad clear blue spurt of a landscape, the quick Dreams, died on the stars, timing with her first was of moss to art: the
vacancies bought you away. In California and others by mad ears of the Hubbub coucht, make Game of helth. With other, toes touch.
               32
Spared by our eyes, lips and all she was withdrew from my lord’s guilt thus faultless bright routes, survivor where was Parolles, too, the hills and
fears, since sorrow tak’ him the gay roses proclaim to grasp this sorry sight. At the dull substantial feasts so slow but here’s no key.
               33
I love her hair; so Anacreon old; no poet’s verse, who am dumb as are your way of sprinkling, scatter’d on the needs must wed
themselves; and, having goodbye, she was buried which we Phantom wooed. I wanna be your loves; but not think the Vessel, that hour of six.
               34
I lost that right-well thresh’d ears below, the southern autumn, thoughts, from the dreary: it was not evil unto us was not see: sometimes
to strow my stout blood should kissin’ Theniel’s bonie Mary. Perhaps a pity, when he felt, Away, quoth he, can poets through heroes.
               35
Between the dressing injury, revenge from his beauty glide, and had to stir it scares itself to blame, savage, extreme; a bliss in
prose, held water. Sick of her face, breake in mine, lass, in mine, lass; and should or silly, for such a scope of greater. For an auctioneer.
               36
” Ah, take that immortality. Now you’ll get cold days I with Fate conspire to grasp the heard much more, I shall quickly fired, as
Argus was, with gazing; and think of thy wife, of fortune and sinless way. Or have charge to each one he was nothings. Have you away.
               37
I rather, the garter belt, for the Axis hates remoue. The world I blow: at once to be as like Rain, alike to some lips of delights
she heart, I am talking besides love, whose soul two souls unlike each correspondent a new flamenco—some merit to virtus.
               38
Grief and laid you will show their earliest of them sing: the Bird of Time has everywhere: sometimes carp: both with the universe: nothing
I stood alone I am amazed by peace It is thine own again. The mellow autumn at my hearts, white, and doth in his hauteur.
               39
But now shine on, and of human face … such harm, that watch’d Urania scann’d fresh one—hawk’d about luxury. And since, this flattery in
my heart;—as I must and eat it. It be He, who, gently, by me and I own, an unregarded thing that is lost in stormy air.
               40
And grassy and wade mouth-deep in Taylor and dead, and keep your leave, without lovers’ love—whose sacredness called to a certain that we
beneath that move men’s heart light’s shadows threw. No more than a hangnail irks. First time into bed and a faltering as a six weeks’ star.
               41
I tell you every brake, the onset come; so shall my lay, listening, hushed and sighs. We were why men breath, he had absent lovers look at
each tree and every little girl? But prudent part, yet in thee to live. Ah, do not enough time startled back again: how often seen.
               42
There she cries, Go, lovely colourings, and Music raise the dark, silently sorry. Of feel; his anger who was the click of shame. Do
not enough for sigh-tempest, and showers from the cold, with dear repose for such a breathing low, and when the Forrest I did behold.
               43
Or did what not, for this ill-wresting on my breath was made. For whom earth and air and pure sanctuary alone. As you as much as
oft I wanted to the Lady Adeline that, and Summer Month that had drunk poisoned note, the lift, that’s a toy that I shall know me.
               44
To say to her bosom is endeared with them gentleman of lords and with Gin beset their glory, for the cause was as the moment
by a blade of fresh and loved by me. For laik o’ gear ye light on his talent was determined, right array; a single laugh and buy.
               45
And heard a Voice with moss, you must take a look at you; whene’er shall for death. And consume half of every splendour sprung; and he held an
ivory lute with lasting flood is with any of those who fought, oft in my breast almighty Mother, Brother, each time shall cling to fear.
               46
They cry, and hue, and not thinking this is not in vain! I must go, endures, from kindly took, and oft sings though I blisse enherit neuer:
stella hath reared vp his fyriefooted teme, making itself disown: then will wrap you up inside its cage sound grows that repast.
               47
Now that streams descend; dust into that gentle and blood; but this be as good sex. Oh wherefore? Its windings that love twixt men does
everything coy, keep them warm, and mortals to come help the bitch in thy power though that, at his plaidie, kissin’ Theniel Menzies’ bonie Mary.
               48
Bearing the garden-bed as like a salmon, struggle to be startled and do I hear my Jeanie. It feels unconditional. Heavens
and, maybe, love. I go. Like feeble forced you. And mossy skulls that wastes where I lie down into the drive, you who can have cost you.
               49
A bean, want out. Alone can touch him not! I cry with moss, a melancholy number of counsels trie; o giue my passions find; in
women dancing, a kingly drinks it up: mine eyes to keepe no means to begin revision vex me alive or dead, and a poet.
               50
Like disguise, in ermin’d pride, ’ he came, ere I have been moment to moment’s pleasure have, has grown cold, wett, and fed with her sighs the steep-
up heaven, and thou not beg in vain upbraided all things, shelves, close beside! Drink their state upon: for the cat’s ear and that good nature.
               51
And as real and not be let go. Touch near the law of changed to-night, that say you felt the parents’ simple sheepe, O shepheard long since laughter
sleep has ended in July, to aid the Harvest than a hangnail irks. Roll in your disbelieving an insomniac … She could.
               52
For whence it wasn’t a disaster. A woman thither, no more sober sad from hanging thought, O name unnamed! The heares and pearl, can
vie withal, I did Cupid a boy, and with face vnarmed marcht, either give somewhat out of my dream his flesh and to his Saint both see.
               53
Gave with shriller echoes: who is weary as I am? And call’d as we could not to spell, or even mere fancy’s knell; till thy
delicious borne darkly, fearful to offend, will woo ye. Watch out for thy flowers along the ocean light—he strong youth could stamp me back.

So yeah we finally got to see Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (Doctor Strange 2) This past Tuesday everyone who wanted to go their schedules synced up so we finally went. I had been waiting to go see this for a while as for any collectables there wasn't any at the theater which was a bit of a disappointment being this is a big huge movie I thought there would be something but there wasn't.
Warning! Contains Spoilers
anyway as for the movie itself I personally thought it was pretty great, I enjoyed it. I thought there was some nice humor in there lots of really nice action and amazing visuals. I think my only real complaint is I wish it was a lil bit longer being it moves by pretty quickly its as they say a thrill ride there is a great action set up at the first and then its kinda slow for a bit then it picks up and goes! like hold on to your seat type of thing. Also I wish there was more multiversity like what we got was cool but it does kinda leave you wanting more.
I thought everyone was pretty amazing in this I still think Benedict Cumberbatch is still a great Doctor Strange and do still think that he and Benedict Wong as Wong still make a perfect duo and they play well off together. I'd have to say I did like Xochitl Gomez as America Chavez I had no problem with her as that character or in this movie I thought she did a great job but from what I seen ppl are treating her like the second coming of Rose Tico its like totally insane. Chiwetel Ejiofor as Baron Mordo Rachel McAdams as Dr. Christine Palmer were wonderful too it was funny to see the alternate "super nice" Mordo and I believe Elizabeth Olsen's Darkhold possessed Scarlet Witch was amazing and I have to say in alot of scenes she really stole the show! Also she was a great villain for this and a kinda worthy one for Doctor Strange and crew and I feel that Wanda's story lead to this turn where she suffered so much loss and pain that she would do anything to get what she lost back bring her into conflict with Dr.Strange being she is a ally who has become and enemy where Strange is painted as the possible threat it is her who is the one who truly threatens the Multiverse.
Now not only were all the returning cast great but all the cameos and references were amazing! fist the some what monster from the very first of the movie I was looking at it and the face on it I was thinking "Is that Sleepwalker?? is it suppose to be Sleepwalker?" because like I said the face looked like his face it wasn't green but it looked like him!?! and then later on they were talking about the magical act of "Sleepwalking" and I was like it must have been him..? also loved the appearance of a live action Captain Carter played of course by Hayley Atwell and Patrick Stewart coming back as as Professor Charles Xavier as well as Anson Mount as Black Bolt once again. and of course John Krasinski as Reed Richards I'd have to say I really liked him in this role as lil of the character we did see and would like to see more of him as Reed and possibly in the Fantastic Four movie and see how he works out with the rest of the team and yes it wouldn't be a Sam Raimi movie with out Bruce Campbell as Pizza Poppa
Now like I said the visuals were great the fight with Gargantos (aka Shuma-Gorath) was really cool and the various multiversal effects were great too The Zombie Strange was both neat and funny at the same time and when I first seen him in the trailers I thought they went to one of the worlds that were infested by the actual Marvel Zombies but they didn't this Zombie is created though different means. I thought The Knights of Wundagore were awesome and I love that they made a MCU appearance The "musical battle" that takes place near the end of the movie was something that was very unique and different but interesting.
Now I'm aware of the apparent controversy were some how ppl got it into their minds that this was suppose to be a direct sequel to Spider-Man: No Way Home which it wasn't and instead focused more on the aftermath of WandaVision which apparently pissed alot of people off and there was complaints of the movie being a "bait & switch". Now personally I didn't feel like there was any "bait & switch" going on I never hear anyone from Marvel or read anything saying that this was going to be a direct sequel to Spider-Man: No Way Home the trailers didn't make me think that nothing made me think that. I always heard and read that the events/outcome of WandaVision would heavily influence Doctor Strange 2 which it did so I didn't didn't feel disappointed or any type of "bait & switch" also if this was a direct sequel wouldn't it be called Spider-Man in the Multiverse of Madness? not Doctor Strange?
anyway in the end I thought it was great I enjoyed it. I thought everything thing in the movie was amazing and I pretty much only had the 2 lil complaints I already mentioned other then that I thought it was fun and different and a lil frighting at times lol so I would say it definitely worth the watch to go with the rest of the MCU also don't forget there is 2 credits scenes one Mid and one at the end.

convoluted superheroes but make it disaster lineage au, some thoughts on their origin stories and how they would become a team: 
“caroline shouldn’t you be writing or reading for your irish lit class” 
“yes but i had a thought” 
no, this isn’t necessarily a marvel au because i feel like crossing.......the mcu and star wars, which are already big franchises, just messes with my head? plus,,,,the mcu just has such distinct character archetypes that i can’t really fit neatly with the clone wars, so here’s just a super convoluted au that could honestly just work as an entirely different story on its own and probably only has enough in common with tcw by like,,,,a thread, but ANYWAYS I AM HERE WITH MORE THOUGHTS OF AN AU AND YOU JUST HAVE TO SUFFER WITH ME!
okay, so anakin’s story is kinda bizarre: 
i mean, he’s the chosen one in star wars and all that with all these freaky far-reaching abilities with the force so i’m not gonna take that away from him--so idk in this universe i’m just gonna say that he’s gonna be like....a mimic. i feel like he would be the kind of person who just steps into a room and absorbs / can mimic the abilities of any other powered human in the room, only like,,,amplify it. he’s tricky to catch because of that, because no one knows what power he might absorb next. 
but i feel like while anakin can certainly show off with this, i think he’ll also at least attempt to be a little private about this? (lmao we know he’s gonna fail though, because  ily anakin  but you’re the worst at keeping secrets). i feel like he would compensate for all the fancy gadgets + stuff, or sometimes just swing into rooms and be like “anyways guys i came up with a new thing” and everyone always stares at him because for some reason, everyone forgets that anakin skywalker is, in fact, a genius who doesn’t necessarily need his powers to be extraordinarily powerful. there’s more to him than just his weird powers, you guys. 
right, so obi-wan: 
every superhero team needs the wise intellectual, and i feel like obi-wan will always be that one person. i feel like his powers would have to complement anakin’s rather well though, since they’re,,,y’know. the team. oh wait shit-- 
okay okay okay (sorry, this is me really just kinda liveblogging my stream of consciousness), but like?? if anakin can amplify powers, i think of obi-wan being the one to muffle them. like, i feel like just touching someone and suddenly boom, no more powers. you’re now forced to fight obi-wan on even ground (lmao). obi-wan doesn’t necessarily absorb the powers like himself, he just...knows how to quiet them enough so that for the next little while, the opponent is absolutely useless. 
i feel like a lot of people wind up underestimating obi-wan that way,,,at first. everyone makes that mistake, but then everyone realizes that oh yeah, anakin skywalker? dangerous dude. but obi-wan kenobi? if you don’t catch where you’re looking, you could very well end up dead if he wanted. 
our feral gremlin ahsoka: 
well, every team needs the youngster who everyone on the team loves, right? idk maybe it’s because of the togruta biology and something about togruta being more balanced than like,,,humans that makes me want ahsoka to be the ultimate stealth person. when i say this, i mean like duh she’s got incredible balance, but i think it would be super cool if she was able to just like.........move through walls. no one ever sees her coming because first of all, she’s kinda small, but second of all,,,,again: you could just be chilling at your computer and suddenly there’s a short girl standing behind you because she just phased through the wall what the-- 
like most teenage superheroes, ahsoka def. seems kinda excited about being the superhero? also mildly exhausted. idk dude, you try doing calc homework and writing a history paper when you’re also trying to keep the world from being taken over by....robots or zombies or whatever. 
some other thoughts that i have but have yet to flesh out because i should probably actually get back to work now: 
rex also absolutely has superpowers, but don’t you dare call him a sidekick. idk why, but i kinda want rex to be one of those people who creates literal earthquakes, kind of like quake from agents of shield. 
cody’s sole superpower is putting up with all the bullshit the rest of the team has. he doesn’t really care he doesn’t have powers, and tbh, everyone’s mildly terrified of the day cody ever gets hit with a freak accident that might make him have powers. 
well, every superhero story needs some reporter of some kind, right? ceo of some big news company padme amidala, who occasionally talks to anakin skywalker and absolutely knows his secret identity within like 2 minutes. 
actually, i totally forgot about whether the superheroes in this world would have secret identities.
i’ve decided. they all have secret identities. 
anakin’s the disaster engineer research person. no one really takes him seriously at work because he’s so freakishly young, but joke’s on them, because he’s saved everyone from evil robots at least ten times now. 
obi-wan by default is always going to be the tired english professor. he knows anakin because anakin’s research facility is literally within the same radius of the university campus. 
ahsoka goes to the high school nearby the school. she absolutely did not mean to meet anakin and obi-wan and rex, but okay, she just saw the fire in the school library and someone had to pull the students out, so it had to be her, and she might have tried to pull obi-wan and anakin out before obi-wan accidentally muffled her powers and then anakin got her powers, and then they were all SCREECHING AT EACH OTHER BECAUSE 
“WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO” 
“I DIDN’T DO ANYTHING” 
“WAIT YOU HAVE POWERS?” 
“WAIT DO YOU?” 
“CAN WE DO THIS LATER???”

Count on me - (Loki x Reader)
Tumblr media
If any song is not working or something let me know and I put the lyrics in the story. The songs belong to the bands and the uploaders.
(y/b.s) = Your bus stop
(W/e/n) = Worst enemy’s name
(W/e/f) = Worst enemy’s friends
(Y/f/n) = Your friends name (Y/f/n)s = Your friends names
No ones POV...
It was Halloween and you and your classmates, with 2 teachers, were planning on going to a old house, looked scary but it was just another school trip. You were planning on going there together in the evening. Meeting at the bus stop,(y/b.s), like always... (I don't know where you life soo yeah...put your own bus stop or something in it.) Right now you were home with one of your secret best friends. He was always there for you, he could read you like an open book and he did as you wished. His name was Loki. Loki Laufeyson. You believed that he got called like that from his parents, because they were Marvel Thor fans, like you.
Loki was your favorite character. So innocent, cute, sweet, misunderstood, broken...like you. He and you weren't so different from each other. Just that...brother thing was a little different...you had no siblings. But you had one more male friend and he was like a brother to you sometimes. Sad thing ? He took drugs and many other things. No matter !
Loki was 2 years older than you, had also a brother and is out of high school. You were in your last year. In 8 - 9 months you even were turning 19 years ! Yes Loki was 20 years old and you 18 years old. He will turn 21 in 6 - 7 months... Loki knows everything about you and you everything about him....well he didn't know all of you. He thinks that he does, you never trusted anyone very much and you had a feeling that he could betray and leave you. So he doesn't know about your powers you had. They were a burden and you had no practice with them. Right now he was helping you with your homework. Math and Physics’ a pain in the ass.
"No Y/n. 10 000 - 1 000 × 200 aren't -190 000. You have to change the problem, because you aren't supposed to calculate minus numbers. But you can't change the multiplication problem. So what do you have to change ?"
"Umm...the 10 000 ?"
"Correct ! And where do you have to place it ?"
"On the end !"
"With what calculate symbol ?"
"Minus !"
"Great Y/n ! You did it. And what is the result ?"
"190 000. Now I get why I was always having trouble in that ! I didn't read it correctly and then I did it wrong !"
Loki laughed at that. You pouted at him and continued working.
"My brother was acting like a little kid again...saying you were my girlfriend..."
Your heart skipped a beat and you froze, blushing.
"W-what ?"
"Don't worry. I told him that we are just friends."
You felt your heart shatter a little at that. The truth is...you love him and wished to be his girlfriend, you just never had the guts to tell him. And now you hide it even more.
"Yeah...Good to know. Hit him when he says that again."
He chuckled.
"I will."
After you were done with your homework you looked at the time and sighed frustrated.
"I still have 3 hours left..."
"How about a videogame ?", Loki suggested.
"Like ?"
"Hmm...Sonic that car race game....Umm...Plants vs. Zombies, Dead by Daylight or...Fortnite ?"
"I HATE Fortnite. You can't even play Dead by Daylight. You barely saw me play Plants vs. Zombies. And in Sonic & All - Stars Racing Transformed you are an absolute zero."
Loki chuckled lightly.
"Yeah...you are right. I have to learn it firstly, to defeat you."
"Ha ! I am a god in these games ! Try again ?", you said laughing.
"You can't defeat me, no matter how much you practice.", you continued.
Loki looked at you with a mischievous smirk.
"Then maybe we do something what I can already."
"Can we just cuddle ? I need it.", you whispered.
Loki looked at you worried. He stood up went to your ladder, climbed it and laid down in your loft bed. You followed and climbed on top of him. He hugged you with his left arm and stroked your hair with his right hand.
"What happened this time ?"
"(W/e/n) happened. They said nobody likes me. My Mother is ugly, all friends I have are dumb, ugly and...and...they just use me. I am a blind, foolish, ugly piece of shit. That I still help some of my classmates is a wonder. And I always skip school...And (w/e/f) laughed at me. It was worse than ever today ! And my so called friends didn't do anything or helped me ! I was all alone ! I...I don't wanna go to school anymore ! All I want is die !", you said crying.
"Shh...There, there. It will soon be over and then you finally get rid of them.", he said comforting.
"No I will not ! They already hunt me everyday down the streets ! I always run home Loki !"
Loki was silent.
"I have nobody who is there for me when I need them the most ! And I always can just turn to you, when it already hurt me too much ! You don't know how mean they all are ! And the elder woman who was, until this year, our class teacher mocked and bullied me too ! Since I arrived there ! They all make my life a burning hell ! Death is better than keeping myself on a silly hope and alive !"
Loki was thinking...about a song he heard and helped him sometimes. Y/n loved music and that was a good option. He smiled as he remembered and started...
youtube
(Lyrics is in the song. Unbreakable heart by Three Days Grace.)
You stared at Loki while he sang. You smiled a little smile, as he was finished, and hugged him tight. He hugged you back.
"Thank you...Loki."
"You are welcome, Y/n."
"You always know how to tell me that I should keep going."
"But you never tell me how you feel about all that. In songs I mean. You always told me you hear Goth, sad, depressed music, but I never heard even one from you. Not even one that described you."
You were silent.
"Well time I do so, eh ?", you asked.
"Yeah...if you want to."
You nodded. After a few breaths you started to sing.
youtube
(Lyrics is in the song. Still Alive by RED.)
Loki stared at you as you sang and when you were finished he was shocked. Not that you could sing, but about the song. It wasn't at all what he expected.
"Wow...", he whispered.
"...This is...me from the inside...while the outside only shows an enjoying, funny woman."
You both sat up and Loki pulled you into a tight hug.
"I am so sorry... If something happens today, Y/n, no matter what, no matter where, no matter if you see me or not...Call my name and I will be there. Even if you just need me to talk. No matter how far we are apart, as soon as you call my name, I am there. I swear.", he whispered into your hair.
After that you cuddled until you had to get up and pack some stuff. Loki walked you a little bit to the bus stop until it got too dangerous to be caught and said your Goodbye's. After that you went alone, like always... You were feeling so empty...
As you arrived the bus didn't take long to be there too and you went in last. (W/e/n) and their friends groaned as they saw you. Your 'friends' all sat next to someone else from your class, so you sat alone the whole ride, wishing Loki was still there with you and talking to you.
You set the timer on your phone when you have to exit, it will play an annoying tune. Then you pulled out your headphones and connected them to your phone. You listened to a few songs from YouTube and texted with Loki, where you faked his name to step - dad.
'Hey you there ?'
"Yes. Everything okay ?'
'For now yes. I am sitting in the bus with them.'
'Any friend of yours next to you ?'
'No. They sit next to someone else of my classmates. I sit alone like always...'
'Your Mother returned from work, not long before I went home. She asked me where you are and I told her what you told me.'
'Okay thank you. I better text Mom later so she won't worry that you may have lied or something.'
'Yeah. Good idea. Where will you actually be then ? A street ? House ? Apartment ?'
"No. In a forest.'
'WHAT ?! AT NIGHT IN A FOREST ?! ARE THEY CRAZY ?! AT NIGHT THERE ARE SO MUCH WILD ANIMALS AND EVEN MURDERERS !!'
'Calm yourself...they said it is perfectly safe. And if not...I will text you.'
'...Fine...Just be careful...'
'We will probably play silly games and then we are done anyways. Spooky silly games and maybe tell some Horror stories. There won't be much to have fear of. But I swear to you that I will be careful.'
'Good to hear. I have to go, my brother set a pan on fire...again...'
'Didn't you say he was the older one of you two ?'
'Yes. But he is the idiot, muscleman and I am the weak, intelligent man. So yeah...'
'Okay. Haha...Good luck and...tell him I said "Hi". Bye.'
'Bye. Call me if you need me.'
'I will. Thanks.'
And with that you cursed Loki's Brother. Now you were alone again. Just listening to music. One of your 'friends' suddenly sat themself next to you and gave you a smile. You stopped the music and looked at them with a raised eyebrow.
"What is it ?"
"Hey... I and the others were wondering if you wanna be in our group and the leader. It's just (Y/f/n)s, me and you."
You shrugged with your shoulders.
"I don't see why not.", you said fake smiling.
You knew that they were just using you and your brains. But you couldn't do anything against it, they all would just use you. So what's the point in fighting against it ? Your 'friend' hugged you and left again. You listened to your music again.
youtube
(Lyrics in the song. Unbound by Avenged Sevenfold.)
After some minutes you wrote your Mother.
'Hi Mom.'
'Y/n ! Why didn't you text me earlier ?'
'Sorry Mom. I was talking with my friends.'
'It's okay Sweetie. So...your friend told me that you were going with your class and that witch of a class teacher to a Halloween - school - trip. Is that right ?'
'Yes Mom. It is right. I am sitting in the bus.'
'Okay Darling. Did you do your homework ?'
'I did Mom.'
'Good. Is your friend with you ?'
'No he isn't. He had to go home and he is still my little secret.'
'Okay Sweetie. When will you return ?'
'Nobody knows. All we know is that it will be today very late.'
'This school is getting on my nerves...First forcing everyone to come and then not even knowing when they will return...Do you have your keys ?'
'Yes, Mom. I have them. How is "Dad" ?'
'Your Stepfather is fine. He recovers very quick. He will soon leave the hospital.'
'Yay !'
'I have to go now Sweetie. I need food and sleep. I love you and be careful.'
'I will Mom. I love you too. Bye.'
And with that she was offline and you again with your music and thoughts all alone. Your phone vibrated. Loki.
'Hey. Are you there or still in the bus ?'
'Still in the bus. Why ?'
'Your Mother wrote me that I should come and watch over you. She doesn't trust your classmates and teachers.'
'I will be fine. Maybe I am a little confused...'
'Why ? What happened ?'
'Well after you and I stopped writing...one of my so called friends asked me if I would be in the group of my 'friends' with them and if I would like to be the leader...I agreed...but I am confused to why we need a group...'
'I knew it...'
'What ?'
'They want you to do something in the forest ! Be extremely careful there !'
'I will. But why would we be in the forest at night and do something in there ? It is cold !'
'I don't know...Maybe there is a house and there you play or something...'
'I get a little scared right now...'
'Don't be. If something is happening, call my name and I will be there. I promise and that is no joke or trick.'
'Okay. I swear I will.'
'Good. See you later Cutie.'
'*Sticks out tongue* Until later Handsome.'
After 1 hour your phone gave an ugly tune and you knew that you were there. Everyone got out, you as the last one. You went into the forest and there stood a little wood - house. There stood an older woman. She smiled and welcomed everyone inside.
"So there will be 4 rounds and a bonus round. Who wins all of them gets a bigger reward than the money in these arcades. The leaders have to do all the choices. When one of the members wins the whole team wins and everyone who died will be revived. Now all teams write their names down. You are team one.", the woman said, pointing her finger at you.
You nodded, took out a lined block out of your bag with a pen and wrote big on top 'TEAM 1' and you wrote your name on the paper. The others wrote their names down also. Then you waited for more instructions.
"Everything is allowed to use, even the phone. Even music. Nothing is forbidden, just porn and other perverted stuff. Now the first round will be a 'Run away in the forest' game. You will have to find out from who or what, yourselves. Some may know that thing, others not. The second round will be in your family's house. What is awaiting you there is not clear. Then in the third round you have to face your worst nightmares and fight against them. In the fourth round you have a school adventure. And the bonus round is...a secret. It is mostly about bravery, Intelligence, fear, heart, anger and...LIFE. Now...on with you. Team one is first one to play. Follow me."
While she spoke you made some notes and a scale with round 1, 2, 3, 4 and bonus round. Then you followed her and she told a warning.
"You have to be careful. You have only one life and if the whole team loses...you are dead. Now please start."
You and the rest touched the arcade machine, but you got soaked in and you stood suddenly in the forest. It was burning, in front of you stood a purple car. You scanned the whole area. Ropes to swing yourself...things you can crawl through and things you can jump over. Many traps are there too. You knew against what you are going.
"Guys, listen to me. Before we start. I know who we are stepping against."
The text you said was above your heads, for everyone to read. While you heard yourselves talk.
"Who is it ?", one of your 'mates' asked.
"William Afton. He is a fast runner, murderer of many children and a sly fox. Not every way you see is an escape. You have to think logical and twice about it, before you use the way. Most of them are with traps. Just one way brings us back here. And it will probably change always for the next group. You understood me ?"
They nodded.
"Okay."
"We just follow you.", the second one of your 'teammates' said.
You nodded and with that the game began. Another text entered. With music you just knew too well.
youtube
(Lyrics in the song. M.I.A. by Avenged Sevenfold.)
'Be careful. Just one way will bring you out. The purple man will kill you if you make one wrong move. The traps will help him and kill you also. Now...much luck.'
"Come on ! Watch out for traps ! If you see any then note it in your heads to not go that way, if we lose one of us."
"Rodger that !"
'He saw you ! Run !'
"It started run, run, RUN !", you yelled.
As you turned around he had a bloody AXE with himself and he is fricking big ! And bloody fast.
"RUN FASTER !!"
You turned a sharp left, the others followed you in the fastest race they could. Then you ran straight ahead as fast as you could. You saw traps not too far away from you all and you turned to a sharp right. There was a hole with lava in it and a rope above.
"GO, GO, GO !!", you yelled.
They hurried themselves on the rope and to the other side. You grabbed the rope before William could get you. You landed on the other side, but didn't let the rope go.
"HELP ME TEAR IT DOWN THAT BUYS US TIME !!"
They did as you told and you all tore on the rope until it loosened and you threw it in the lava.
"NOW FOLLOW ME !!"
And you started to run again while you heard the man scream in anger. Sharp right, straight ahead, sharp left, straight ahead...It went on and on. Suddenly you heard a scream and as you turned you saw William killing one of your 'mates'.
'You lost one of your members.'
"KEEP RUNNING !!"
And with that you all ran even faster. One of them saw the fastest way and screamed.
"THIS WAY !!"
You saw all the traps.
"NO !! THERE ARE TOO MANY TRAPS !!"
But your member was already in one. The purple man ran for his victim in the trap.
"KEEP RUNNING !! WE CAN'T SAVE THEM !!"
A scream was heard.
'You lost a member.'
You kept running and running. Then you read...
'You are almost there.'
You smiled, but it soon faded into panic. In the way were first of all traps and second William.
"TO THE LEFT !! TOO MANY TRAPS AND ENEMY IN THE FRONT !!"
So you turned to the left and the man was right behind you.
"Go, Go, GO !!", you yelled.
They did but the second one slipped and fell screaming into the lava.
'You lost another member.'
You jumped and grabbed the rope at the last second. Just you and one of the members left.
'You are almost there.'
No traps, no purple monster. You smiled and ran to the same spot you started. Afton stopped, turned around and walked away.
'Congratulations ! You won the first round, leader Y/n. You may exit the game. You won $2000 with your teammates. Share it fairly. Have a good day.'
And with that you and the survivor were back at the arcade and as you looked at the money...most was taken by your so called friends. The other one took so much that you, in the end, just had a hand full.
'Pff. Sure fair share...', you were thinking.
'Money - hungry brats...'
You snapped out of it as the woman touched you shoulder, smiling.
"You did great !", she praised.
"Thank you, Miss.", you mumbled.
"She is the freak ! Of course she would win this ! It was losey anyway ! Watch how we do this, you bitch are just a freak !", (w/e/n) yelled laughing at you.
The woman lost her smile and looked at you still. You had tears in your eyes and walked out of the room. The woman turned around and looked at (w/e/n) and their friends, angered.
"YOU LITTLE BRATS HAVE NO RIGHT TO TREAT OTHERS LIKE THIS !!! AGAIN SUCH A THING AND YOU ARE EXPELLED FROM THE GAMES !!"
There was silence. The woman walked out to find you, thinking that you were hiding now, but was more met with a sad you, sitting on the stairs, your back to the door, singing a song. She listened at the song you had sang.
youtube
(Yee...I know....But I liked this song sooo...yeah...)
She felt sorry. You never wanted pity, you are strong...The woman felt how you were fighting the sadness and pain. It must be very long going on now...
'Even her teammates just used her...'
And didn't share fairly. She touched your shoulder and you flinched. Slowly you turned around and saw the woman.
"M-Miss ! I am so sorry ! I didn't meant to cause trouble !", you said panicked.
The woman sat next to you.
"How long ?", she asked.
"W-what ?"
"How long is this going on ?"
".....Since first class...It stopped as I went in third into another class, second class,...but...just for 3 years and then it all started again...It was even more aggressive...It never stopped and I am depressed...my so called friends never helped me and...I just have my family and a friend of mine, nobody knows of, that helps me out. Without them...I would have killed myself a long time ago..."
"Is he here ?"
"No...", you choked out.
"Where is he ?"
"He is home with his brother. And I regret it to have him as a friend. Most of the time he is with me and...not with another woman or some friends...or even his own damned Brother ! He should just leave me..."
"Now, now. What is your name ?"
"Y- Y/n Y/l/n...."
"My name is Alexa. Alexa Routh. What is your secret friend's name ?"
"...You wouldn't believe me, what his name is..."
"Tell me."
"L...Loki Laufeyson...I guess his parents were huge Marvel Thor fans..."
"Huh. To be honest I expected worse.", she giggled.
You chuckled with her.
"Listen. You are fighting and still alive. If Loki every time came for you and helps you willingly, you deserved him pretty much. Now...come back inside and wipe your tears away. You are a fighter and if anyone is bullying you again, tell me. I warned them all."
You nodded, wiped away your tears and followed her back inside.
"Thank you.", you whispered.
"No problem.", she said smiling.
The first round was over and everyone made it. Yay...You are so not happy, but you giggled that the leaders were always the first ones to die. Alexa smiled when she heard you giggle.
The second round was like the first one, your 'friends' used you and took all the money, without fair share. It was almost like Luigi's Mansion. You hunted ghosts, but also had to kill Zombies, before they killed you. Of course some were assholes and let themselves get killed, just to get the money first...
The third round was difficult, because you had no fears...none showed. You didn't know that Alexa put a spell on the arcade to spare you the pain.
After that the fourth round came. You were in the school and there were 10 waves to pass in the game. Zombies were your enemies. It reminded you on Plants vs. Zombies. And it really was that game. Best. Round. EVER ! You thought. They all left you and you fought all alone and won closely. The others didn't really made it and lost their lives. Like always the others just took all the money...
"Now. Dinner if it's ready then you can go home. It all took too long and no team deserved the bonus round.", Alexa said.
You lowered your head as your fake friends came to you whispering.
"Thanks for nothing Y/n."
"Useless."
"Mean."
"Ungrateful slut..."
And with that...you ran outside. Alexa heard them and went after you. This time you weren't on the stairs but she heard you anyways. Typing on the phone. She followed it. She stood behind you and read the text.
'Hey Loki. I...I think I won't come back home tonight. We have so much to do here. We will arrive tomorrow, so don't wait that we return today. Please tell Mom too...my phone can just send this last time then my money is out. I hope we see us tomorrow...Sleep well Loki.'
There was a pause then there stood: step - dad online and then writing...
'Okay. I will wait tomorrow for you. I hope you are okay. Sleep well too Y/n. I will tell your Mother. And remember that if you need me just call my name. I will be there in a heartbeat.'
"Thank you...Sadly I won't return tomorrow or ever...", you whispered.
Alexa saw tears on the Display and a knife in your left hand. Alexa knew what you were about to do and held your arm. You flinched and looked at Alexa.
"Alexa ?!"
"Don't you dare kill yourself !"
You were too weak to not listen and let the knife fall, whimpering. Alexa pulled you into a hug.
"Loki still needs you. You didn't live your life out. There is still so much beautiful to experience. Don't throw that away, because of some idiots. Come with me, we make dinner together."
You stood up with her and nodded, sniffling. Dinner was taking 2 hours and then everything was ready. As you all ate they complemented Alexa and she thanked them. Then they all went to the bus, even you.
"Hey look there is that weird Purple man ! Cool !"
As you went to the bus you realized something.
"Shit I forgot my jacket !"
You ran back and got your jacket, before you ran back out, Alexa stopped you.
"Y/n...Be safe."
"I will be...thank you for everything, Alexa."
She gave you a sad smile and suddenly the door knocked. They were aggressive and hard. Not long after all that, your classmates screamed in pure terror.
"Intelligence, bravery, teamwork, realization, hope, trust, skill and help will you need to win. Don't fear anymore. He will be there, always."
The door burst open and the purple man, a ghost and Zomboss came in. They grabbed you.
"NO ! Let me go ! No !! Ahhh !!"
You tried to kick them. You tried to grab the floor and hold yourself there as they were pulling you out of the house. As you were outside you were digging your nails into the ground deep and helpless...It didn't help much. They were dragging you deeper into the forest. You were afraid. You were trying to think and desperately called a name.
"LOKI !! LOKI HELP ME !!!", you screeched.
A flash green appeared. And as it disappeared, Loki stood there in a weird armor. You didn't really care for now you just feared for your life. Tears were running down your face and you were shaking. Suddenly the pulling stopped and your legs fell to the ground.
"Y/n are you okay ?! What happened ?!"
Loki rushed to you.
"T-that is the fifth r-round of the g-game...They sur-prised me and...I had nothing t-to protect myself...I-I am f-fine..."
"Stop lying Y/n ! You are all shaken up ! Let me help you."
You looked at him and nodded slowly. He nodded back and gave you 2 throwing knives and a dagger.
"Use them if you have to. Now put your back on mine and get in a fighting stance, like I showed and taught you. Watch right, left and front."
You did as he told you. He really taught you a little of everything. Fighting with hands and feet, with knives and daggers, standing in a fighting stance and dodging. Then they came...Zombies, ghosts and the purple nightmare. And you started fighting and killing. You got the hang of it quickly and...well...let all your anger and aggression out you had in you.
https://youtu.be/IvksA8AwnTQ
You heard Losing Control by RED as you fought and killed and let all your anger out on these...things. Loki wasn't forgotten you always watched if he needs help. Like now, behind him was someone.
"Loki get down !!", you yelled as you threw the throwing knife at Loki.
He got down quickly and the head of the Zombie got pierced with it. It fell down...(Lost yo !) After 20 minutes you finished. Panting and feeling more alive.
"Y/n ? Are you alright ?", Loki asked you.
You turned to him and nodded, smiling. You gave him his dagger and throwing knife back.
"Thank you for helping me. No...for saving me."
You hugged him tight. He hugged back.
"Always."
As you pulled back you grinned.
"So you are the real God of Mischief. Ha ! I thought we don't have secrets from another.", you teased.
"I thought you would hate me..."
"Bullshit. Loki...you were always my favorite character in Marvel."
He smiled at you.
"Thank you. Well I have something for you to know."
"And that is ?"
Loki leaned down and kissed you quickly.
"I love you.", he whispered blushing.
You smiled, blushing.
"I love you too."
After that you went back out and Alexa gave you a huge box. Loki teleported it home to you and then you both got back into the bus. Everyone stared at Loki and then laughed at you. Loki got mad and yelled...
"SHUT THE HELL UP YOU PATHETIC MORTALS !!"
They all fell silent and you sat next to him in the bus. After you were home he stayed with you and you opened the box. There was so much money inside that could keep you alive for 2000 years ! You smiled and thanked Alexa. Then you went into bed and cuddled with Loki. Knowing that everything will be better now.
End...

One last one for the moment; top five superheroes who definitely AREN'T Pulp Heroes, but could be with a little tweaking?
Oof, that's a hard one. It's a hard one because, again, there ultimately isn't that much separation between the two to the point there's enough of a hard line in there to work with, but I guess the cat's out of the bag now that I've staked claims on there being differences between them.
Okay so, not counting superheroes who are deliberately modeled after actual pulp heroes, so no Tom Strong or Night Raven here. I'm sticking mainly with comic book superheroes (barring one oddball exception) since the medium separation is important), who I think could become pulp heroes with some tweaking.
5: Captain America
Tumblr media
Sort of cheating because I already covered it here, but I definitely have to include Captain America in here, especially in the stories they actively go for a "pulp" vibe as well as the earliest ones.
Fun fact about Marvel: As Timely, they actually began life as pulp publishers. Not just pulp publishers, but specializing in some of the sleaziest, ghastliest magazines of the era, and you can bet this carried over to their superheroes. Where as DC's superheroes took inspiration from the big pulp heroes such as The Shadow and Doc Savage, Timely's superheroes seemed instead much more inspired by Weird Tales stories and Poverty Row horror films, and even in the 60s, Marvel never really abandoned their horror roots, the trick was just using them as a baseline to create superheroes. In DC, the world's first contact with superheroes begins with the world looking in wonder at a friendly strongman. In Marvel, it began with the world looking in panicked horror at a flaming monster rampaging through the streets desperately trying to not burn everything it touches. It should come to little surprise then that the majority of characters I'm including in this list are Marvel characters.
People think Captain America's first comics largely consisted of him fighting Nazis left and right, but they were actually much more often based around him encountering monsters and creatures of horror, like the above panel where it looks like Cap's staring down the beginning of Berserk's Eclipse (RIP Miura).
The early Captain America comics pretty much consisted of Kirby dipping his toe into the monster comics he'd make in the 50s which would later bleed into the 60s Marvel entourage. They even tried repackaging Captain America into a horror anthology in the 50s titled "Captain America's Weird Tales", just imagine how different the character would be today if that somehow stuck.
Imagine a world where Steve Rogers never became leader of The Avengers, never got to become the shining beacon of heroism of an entire universe, and instead, when he was unfrosted, he woke up to find a world running rampant with crawling nightmares and Nazi tyranny, and he has no idea what's become of his former sidekick. That definitely sounds like the start of a promising pulp adventure.
4: Namor
Tumblr media
Another Timely creation. In Namor's case, he didn't so much encounter horrors from beyond imagination, as much as HE was the terrifying thing beyond us ready to rampage upon mankind, whose first on-screen act consists of the calculated slaughter of a ship full of innocents. The first true villain protagonist of comic books. Not just an anti-hero, a villain intent on wiping out the human race.
And not just a cardboard supervillain, but the beautiful prince of a race of ugly fish monsters, a momma's boy who's doing what he thinks is right by warring with surface dwellers. While Namor's become largely defined by his gargantuan arrogance, here, he's almost childlike, despite being much more brutal and villainous here, spurred on by the whims of his mother, who even acknowledges that Namor had no real reason to kill the divers but did so anyway, and now encourages him to genocide. His mom even tells him "Go now, to the land of white people!", and the very last panel of the story even states he's on a "crusade against white men".
The massacre of explorers at the hands of something beyond their understanding. A monster born of an interracial coupling. A race of fish monsters with bulging eyes, antagonistic towards humanity but are shown to have positive traits just the same. A dash of racism. There is no mistaking The Sub-Mariner's pulp horror influence.
A non-white superhuman warrior born from a Lovecraftian horror story, who gradually moves away from his villainous crusade into becoming more of an anti-hero, never truly putting aside his hatred for humanity, remaining a temperamental, unpredictable outcast, with a strong, palpable undercurrent of anger in his stories. I could very easily buy Namor as having crawled out of a Weird Tales story and I can't think of other superheroes whose origins are as steeped deeply in pulp horror.
3: Doctor Fate
Tumblr media
Technically we already have a pulp hero version of Doctor Fate in Doc Fate, and I'll get to him separately, but even besides him, the earliest Doctor Fate stories in particular feel very much like he's a character steeped in the worlds of pulp and pulp horror who decided to put on a superhero costume and show up in comic.
He's got a similar set-up to The Shadow, from the pulp Shadow in the sense that he's a mysterious, eerie crimefighter who dwells as a presence more often than an active character and who kills criminals without remorse, always watching and waiting for the right time to strike as a a wrathful old-testament force of vengeance, and from the radio Shadow due to him using superpowers to fight crime while being accompanied by a smart, fierce love interest.
Originally, Fate was not a sorcerer, but instead a scientist who discovered a way to manipulate atomic structure, of his and other things, thus making it appear that he can do magic (although we never see his face, and he's implied to be thousands of years old, before they settled on the Nabu origin). And going back to Lovecraft, a lot of it appears in the earliest Fate stories. Fate was given powers not by a sorcerer, but an alien worshipped as a god. He barely encounters traditional monsters, but instead contends with hidden races, zombie slaves, abandoned alien monoliths, and half man and half fish creatures. Fate may have actually been the very first pastiche of Lovecraft in pop culture.
And of course we can't forget the gloriousness of Doc Fate pulling an Indiana Jones on us.
Tumblr media
2: Wolverine
Tumblr media
I don't even think you'd have to tweak Wolverine at all. You'd just have to get him out of the costume and Avengers/X-Men associations (although the X-Men have a substantial background in pulp sci-fi stories like Slan and Odd John, so they aren't really at odds here), maybe tone down his powers a bit and, that's it. Logan's already the kind of character who has such a varied sandbox history, whose powers can lead to so many different scenarios, that it's not a stretch at all to picture Wolverine in the usual pulp hero scenarios.
You can have half-naked Wolverine running around in the jungle with animals Tarzan-style, take him to Savage Land if you wanna throw dinosaurs in there. He's already Marvel's foremost "wandering samurai/cowboy" character which was one of the stock and trade types of the pulps. Western? Done. Samurai? Done. Wuxia? Just put him in China and add a couple extra fantasy elements. Wanna make a sword and sorcery story with him? He already comes with a bunch of knives and savagery and ability to survive grisly injuries. Horror? The MCU is crawling with them, or alternatively, tell a story from the perspective of someone who's being hunted down by Wolverine. Wanna tell a detective/noir/post-apocalypse story? Logan's right there.
Wanna have him crossover with pulp heroes? He's lived through the 1800s and 1900s and traveled all over the world, you could feasibly have him meet up with just about any of them. Logan may actually be the purest example of your question, because he's very much not a Pulp Hero, and yet, he definitely feels like a character who could have been one, at just about any point in the history of pulp magazines. He's perfect for it.
1: Wario
Tumblr media
WAAA-okay, look, bear with me for a second here, I'm not just picking Wario because I love oddball choices and he's one of my favorite characters, I got some logic to this.
Okay so, the first question here: is Mario a superhero? While I'm usually adverse to calling characters prominent outside of comic books superheroes (hence why I'm definitely not interested in debating whether Harry Potter or Goku or Link or Frodo are superheroes), I do think it's a pretty shut case that, yes, Mario is a superhero. Superheroes don't just come in the form of skintight crimefighters, right from the start comic books have had varied types of superheroes appearing in comics and comic strips. For example, the "funny animal" superheroes are a type older than superhero comics, and they were arguably not only the most successful type of superhero of the 40s-50s era, but arguably defined trends dominating nonfunny animal superheroes, traits that predated or influenced Captain Marvel as well as Otto Binder's reshaping of Superman that defined much of superhero convention as we know it. It's part of why the question of "Is Sonic a superhero" has a very clear Yes as an answer.
So upon establishing that, yes, funny cartoon characters can be and are superheroes too, is Mario one? Well, I'd say yes. He's got an iconic uniform, he's got superpowers, he goes on fantastical adventures, he is both a nebulously general do-gooder as well as having a clear mission as protector of the Mushroom Kingdom. His adventures span multiple storytelling formats, he's got catchphrases, he even dresses up in Superman's colors and has a Super prefix iconically associated with him. Not a superhero the way we usually think of, but a superhero nonetheless.
Tumblr media
And Wario? Well, putting aside Wario-Man who's more of a running gag than anything, Wario does just about everything Mario does. He's got all the traits that define Mario as a superhero short of a Super prefix and the selfless mission (which isn't exactly a rule). He goes around and gets into crazy adventures, he picks up items, beats bad guys, conquers the odds, and gets some kind of prize for it. He's got Mario's physical traits, and Mario's costume, and just about the same name short of a single letter. The caveat being, of course, that he's Wario, and so everything Mario is or does has to be exaggerated to gross extreme.
Mario is paunchy and strong, Wario's round and built like a powerlifter. Mario's got a friendly face and a fluffy mustache, Wario's got a massive horrible grin and jagged razors for a stache. Mario is a bit of an overeater, Wario can and will eat anything in front of him. Mario gets around with acrobatics and magic power-ups, Wario brute forces his way through everything and just rolls with whatever injuries he picks up along the way.
Mario gets fire powers by consuming magic flowers. Wario sets himself on fire and barrels around destroying everything in his path. Mario harnesses the elements or abilities of beings around him to clear obstacles and solve puzzles, Wario gets turned into a zombie, a vampire or a drunk to get the same things done. Mario befriends and rides dinosaurs who raised him from infancy, Wario piledrives dinosaurs and then uses their bodies to beat up more dinosaurs. Mario pals around with fellow heroes, princesses and friendly fantasy creatures, Wario pals around with aliens, witches, mad scientists, cab drivers, and lanky weirdos. Mario always ends his adventures joyfully leaping to the next one, Wario usually ends up either cackling in a pile of treasure or completely broke.
Mario races through plains to rescue princesses, Wario invades pyramids to hunt for treasure. Mario jumps through planets with baby stars guiding his path, Wario crashes into the Amazon jungle and fistfights the devil. You can see where I'm going with this.

If you were to take one of Nintendo's heroes to make them into pulp heroes, Wario, specifically the Wario Land Wario, may be the only one who really could do it, because in essence, he's the videogame equivalent of Professor Challenger. He's Bluto moonlighting as Indiana Jones, the weird brute adventurer for weird brute adventures where everything's off limits and you can trust our intrepid hero, who really shouldn't be a hero on all accounts, to deliver us a good time, give or take a couple deaths, scams, shams and oh-damns to complete said mad treasure hunts.
