Do you find it possible that Byler will definitely happen in season 5 and if so why do think that bc honestly season 4 was not what I expected to happen.

I definitely think its possible! Narrative wise, I think it makes the most sense; Mike's behavior, Milkvan's toxic dynamic, Will being in love with Mike and yet also such an important part of driving Milkvan forward were all creative choices that make sense if Byler is the ultimate destination. Is it possible we're being queer-baited? Absolutely! But I for one am over timidly hoping for queer rep*, I've decide to just go into season 5 expecting Byler to go canon, because no one would think anything of doing so if it was a straight ship. I am quite possibly setting myself up for disappointment, and I don't care.

That being said, Byler does feel different than other ships, and it is treated differently than other queer-bait ships (Destiel, cough-cough). For one, Noah talks about it like a valid ship and actively promotes it; actors have gone off script before to 'promote' non-canon ships, but Noah tells people to ship it and says they're 'building it up'. Cast members (David Harbour my beloved <3) also have made comments that its obvious if you watch the show who Will likes, so the whole cast is very aware of Byler.

I put less stock in NetflixGeeked and other social media accounts that promote Byler, but a bunch of them do promote it; to my knowledge, they didn't do that with other queer non-canon ships (Elmax or Steddie), they only promoted Byler. For some reason, Byler is much more real than other non-canon ships, queer or otherwise.

I understand the annoyance and disappointment of season 4. For me, it fell short on a lot of plot points and felt unresolved. I for one never thought we were definitely getting canon Byler for S4, so I'm not very disappointed. Will is in love with Mike, that is confirmed and frankly a huge step forward for Byler; half of our ship is canon! Will knows he loves Mike, Mike just needs to get with the program. They put Will through the ringer this season, and as heartbreaking as it was to watch, it was for a purpose. Season 5 is going to largely be about Will, and I think we needed to see him at his lowest to get some valuable pay off in season 5.

Nothing we got this season was actually bad for Byler. I think we are getting canon Byler because Mike understands what Will doesn't say. Because Will puts Mike's happiness before his own, and because Mike will never stop fighting for Will. Because they are always shown paired together, Mike's pocket-arrow always points to Will, and why is Mike so hyper-aware of Will this season? If Stranger Things was a fanfic, season 4 was the angst before the comfort of season 5.

I don't really care if I'm being delusional, I am riding this train until it derails and is disassembled by Noah Schnapp himself.

*We do have queer rep on Stranger Things, her name is Robin Buckley and I love her. However, she doesn't have quite the same main-character plot and characterization of other characters. I doubt any romantic relationship Robin has in S5 will get much screen time. I would like to see more queer representation that isn't simply 'gay people pining over the straights'.

New Additions... Again

Hello beautiful people! This is just a post to let you know that I am adding a few people to my request list. I have been getting loads of requests and I am honestly so grateful to every one of you. Unfortunately... I haven’t gotten around to any yet because I currently ( in literally two days ) am about to pass a huge exam period. Basically like SATS or whatever you guys have other there in the US. I am really stressed about it but I’ll survive. So when those are done I will get to writing right away. Thank you guys so much again for your patience and without further do, lets welcome these new people to our list!

PS: I am only going to write for the characters the actors play not the actual actor/actress as I feel uncomfortable doing so. So if you would like to request a character played by an actor/ actress you love please do so BUT if you still send me the name of an actor/actress I will still take your request but will personally choose a character played by said actor/actress to fit the scenario.... *catches breath *

- Amanda Abbington aka John Watsons wife from BBC Sherlock (Yes... I have a crush on Mary from BBC Sherlock... and yes I would like to talk about it with a therapist.)

- Charlie Heaton (I like socially awkward nerds with big hearts)

- David Harbour (Currently re-watching ST and I love Giants so that's about all I have to say)

- Jason Momoa (Not really a personal favorite but a lot of people have been requesting him)

- Jessica Lange (Honestly surprised at how long it took me to find her hot, maybe its the AHS withdrawal that's making me feel this... anyways no regrets)

- Joe Keery (A lot of J’s... also I gotta give the people what they want)

- Kaya Scodelario (Started watching Skins a few weeks ago and just thought “Why not?”. Also this is for all you Maze Runner lovers)

- Oscar Isaac (I even suprised myself with this because for some reason my daddy issues have not yet picked up on Oscar Isaac... even though i have 60+ year old men on this list. I personally am more of a Pedro Pascal girl... but Leto Atreides... makes me get it. Also I’d totally bang his wife Lady Jessica but thats beside the point. Also Rebecca Ferguson has been on the list already for like 3 years)

- Paul Bettany (Are you even surprised?)

- Pheobe Waller Bridge (Underrated QUEEN. Also I have a thing for tall, dark haired, socially awkward, unconventionally attractive British people. *Cough* Sherlock Holmes aka Benedict Cumberbatch *Cough* *Cough* Severus Snape *Cough*)

- Sacha Baron Cohen (As I said I love giants)

- Winona Ryder (OH MY FUCKING GOD. How was she not on my list before. She is one of the most beautiful, inside and out people in the entire world. And Joyce Byers makes my mommy issues QUAKE. Not joking. Also underrated as FUCK.)

Anyways that's it for now. Hope you’re happy and request something for one of these people. Also If you would like me to add anyone else PLEASE ask me, honestly I love answering people.

Also I NEED a Javier Bardem x reader fic cause he so SO FRICKIN HOT

ALSO fucking pray for me for my exams... cause I need it.

AND WAIT WAIT WAIT... Pleease ask me blurbs or little opinions on some of your character. Just like scenarios and mini imagines cause I love those... NSFW or not.

Thank you so much

Love you all

- Lucy

if they´re gonna bring the og party back and the whole dnd storyline too ( will the cleric, mike the paladin, lucas the ranger...) then I better see them with their respective weapons/avilities. lucas´s a ranger so he gets the bow and arrow. will, well,cough powers cough cough. dustin´s a bard wich holds more power with speeches and songs, so he´s more like the brain of the group with making up plans. and mike´s the paladin, wich in theory sounds pretty cool, I´ve seen some ppl talking abt how he could have a shield and all but, but I saw a post of david harbour talking abt how carrying a sword is actually pretty fucking heavy, so, mister not so athlethic mike wheeler may have some problems with that. I just hope he gets a more handmade-especially made for him sword or else it´s gonna be real embarrasing, though, I´m not opossed to the party giving him shit for that (maybe get a scene where little-shit-will offers to trade weapons since honestly he´s way buffer than mike who knows)

the last thing about Will is hilarious 🤣

I hope this too, it would be really cool!

Intriguing how ppl hate grace for shipping Edissy (bc they say it’s P*do) r the same ppl stanning Eddie. It’s like so u stan a p*do character then? Bc even Joe admitted Eddie had a crush on Chrissy. And they also stan Joe so that means they stan an actor who likes his p*do character. It goes both ways. Obviously I don’t think Eddie/Edissy is inappropriate or p*do but I’m pointing out their faulty logic.

Yup, it has no logic at all. I've seen here people saying that all this hate towards Grace steams from misogyny and I couldn't agree more. Countless male actors (cough david harbour cough) have done and said things similarly to what she had said/done and still they don't receive as much hate as she has.

And people have the worst takes about eddissy like saying he was only interested in selling her drugs and that it all was a ploy for it, makes him look so bad and out of character (especially if we consider the things Joseph Quinn has said about Eddie). And don't get me started on the p*do thing. Everyone that worked in that scene said that they had an amazing romantic chemistry, are people sure that's something famous people would say if there was a hint of p*do there??? Like do they really think this is all a big complot??

I also don't like what people say about the drug scene because most of the times they just understimate the performance of both Joseph and Grace, they are both very talented actors that manage to make a small scene so significance and brought so much depth to their characters.

So yup, antis are throwing rocks on their own roofs saying bad things about eddissy, they make Eddie look the worst.

(Sorry for the late reply anon, life kept getting in the way of this reply </3)

#idk she seem so at easy with the 'reylo' term #and what the discourse is #also she has said she keeps up with 'that stuff'#if that means only on instagram or maybe even this hell site idk #also i can't help but feel (after watching the josh thing) that he is poking fun at antis #and since hes very close w daisy it wouldn't be super off if she has talked about the fandom w him at some point #sorry I'm just in a very tinfoil-hat mood rn #or is it??#anyway #some actors/actresses actually enjoys partaking in the fandom and their ships and whatever so i dont think its that weird tbh #*cough*david harbour *cough*#shush jo

WAAAAAIT ( theory about El's lab flashback )

so I just watched the Duffers' trailer breakdown and they mention the term “gladiators in a pit” to describe Hopper and other prisoners (trapped in an enclosed space , being forced to fight for their lives). And we see how the russian prisoners parallel HNL subjects (symbolically)- shaved heads, numbers on shirts, trapped in small personal rooms, etc.

Ok. Remember how I mentioned El’s backstory is very reminiscent of Black widow's? Quick synopsis: Genetically gifted girls are k*dnapped by gov, then programed to be super-soldiers/spies in the “red room” (rainbow room). Natasha (black widow) was even k*dnapped as a baby and her mom tried to rescue her from the lab but she was k*lled by the gov-scientists (sort of like Terry being incapacitated by Brenner, after trying to rescue El,who was k*dnapped as a baby). Natasha even has an adopted sister from the lab (kali) and they share the sentimental phrase “we’re upsidedown”. Both storylines are also based off mkultra. This natasha-storyline is in the old comics but also the recent David Harbour (Hopper) film, about black widow. In the film, David's character is even rescued from a Russian prison (by his family) ... cough like Hopper in s4.

So what’s my point? In the “red room” the gov would force these little girls to fight to the de*th like gladiators. Winner gets to live (it was a way to pick the ‘best candidates’ who as adults would become future gov- spies/assa*ns). It was part of their training since they had to become future “weapons”. It’s why so many girls didn’t surv*ve to complete the ‘black widow program” (which was finalized when they became adults)....

what if that’s why El feels like a “monster” ,in s1? I’m not surprised she possibly blocked the memory out. In s2 ,when going to find Kali, a homeless man screams at El “they're all d*ad”,over and over (and El winces at the words). It's possibly foreshadowing the fate of other numbers ,besides Kali.

It would be incredibly bleak, but it would really show the the government are the real "monsters"- if they forced kids from various labs to do this. :(

Update: @0aurelion-sol0 saw this and just reminded me of an import detail. The film "hunger games" is said to inspire s4. Well...It's literally about kids being forced to k*ll eachother because of a tyrannical government program .

just a crack theory but.... you never know

Prompts I wrote at 4am and don’t know what to do with:

(Feel free to use them btw!)

“They wouldn’t think nine high school kids-“

“Eight.” Anthony cuts him off sharply. “I have no part in this.”

“You’re an accomplice, and you’re harbouring criminals.” Tyler protests.

“I ain’t harbouring shit, you guys just showed up here and didn’t leave.” Anthony grumbles.

“And we will continue to do so.” Evan declares.

“Great.”

Anthony rolls over onto his stomach as the rest of his friends continue to stuff the body into the hole they’ve made.

———

“Give them time.” Tyler smiles warmly. “They’ll come around, but they’re not just gonna change their ideals overnight.”

“You did.” David mumbles, head balanced on the other’s shoulder, nuzzling it softly.

“Yeah, but I’m in love with you, and I was starting to suspect it anyway.” Tyler scoffs. “I don’t think the others had a goddamn clue.”

———

“What?!” Scotty screams, jumping back and scrubbing the tears from his cheeks. “How’d you survive that?!”

“It’s gonna take a hell of a lot more than that to kill me.” Brian grins, coughing dust from his lungs. Scotty offers him a hand and he takes it, heaving him off the ground.

“But- You stopped breathing, man!” Scotty all but sobs, still clinging to Brian’s hand even though he’s back on his feet.

———

Nogla’s foot is numb. In fact, his whole entire left leg is numb. Maybe he could scream, maybe the others are still around. Maybe he can still warn them to get off Cayo Perico.

He grunts as he tries to move, his back aching in places it hadn’t hurt in years, old wounds and new now shoot pain through his body.

There’s now chance he’d make it all the way to the docks anyway. It useless trying to move, but for some bizarre reason, he still wants to. Maybe he cares more about these idiots than he thought.

K's Kafe and/or 2.. for the wip game?

Absolutely, my friend!

So, K's Kafe in this one is actually me trying to figure out a way to adapt Kandra into Caleb and Kaidan's story. She isn't Kaidan's twin here, but his cousin, but she still runs a cafe in Vancouver. Now, on one of my Discord servers, a conversation led to the creation of an NPC we were asked to 'feel free to include' in our stories and, well, I've tried to fit her in here. It still needs some work, but I think I have the bare bones of it down. Here's a snippet for you! (okay, I forgot how giggly I get reading this - a long snippet for you! lol)

Aaaaaand under cut because I got generous again! :D

~~~

“Half-Kaf for Druid!”

Inwardly, Kandra cringes before she peeks over her shoulder at the counter. ‘Druid’ is a familiar face; rumor has it that Major David Agostini is moving up the ranks at Vancouver Alliance HQ on the other side of the harbour. Their eyes meet. David rolls his good naturedly and Kandra sighs in relief. A regular, he’s always had an adventurous sense of humor.

“K’s Kappuchino for Pastry!”

Unfortunately, Patsy McKay isn’t as forgiving, and snatches the cup with ill-grace before stomping out the door. Viv, still working on garlands surrounding the door itself, calls out, “Thanks for stopping by!”

A heavy sigh beside her pulls Kandra’s attention. “Do you think she’ll ever get it right?” Rose asks, though her lips still twitch at the corners.

Kandra can’t blame her as she has to cough to hide her own chuckle. “God only knows. C’mon, I need help with the tree topper.” Opening a large box sitting on a nearby table, she carefully removes a foot-and-a-half wide replica of the Normandy SR2. Using her omni-tool, she activates the lights and together with Rose’s help, they carry it over to the tree.

In the background, the bell on the door rings, but Kandra can’t spare a look to see if it’s someone coming or going, as her focus is all on keeping this specially designed ornament in one piece. The lights flicker in rhythm with the carols playing overhead – at the moment, Deck the Halls.

Unfortunately, even with the step ladder she has for occasions like this, neither she nor Rose can reach the top of the tree. Stu, the old curmudgeon, had tree duty this year and found one far larger than she would have chosen. Blowing loose strands of dark curls out of her face, she is about to tell Rose to help her set it back in the box when a soft blue glow surrounds it, lifting it from her hands.

“Hey there, half-pint. Need some help?”

Kandra freezes. Only one person has ever called her that. The same person who served aboard the Normandy during the war… She spins around without thinking about it and nearly falls off the step ladder, caught at the last second by a strong arm. “Kaidan!”

Her cousin grins as he places the ship on the top of the tree then turns to face her. “Good to see you too, Kandra.”

She looks up to find… she blinks. “C-commander?”

Shepard smiles and releases her. “Aye. Nice to see you again.”

She’s met him once before at a small gathering at the family orchard – she’d brought most of the food and drinks – after he and her cousin returned from their honeymoon in Greece. “You, too.”

“Super ‘Spresso for Lulu!”

Kandra peeks around Shepard’s shoulder. Lulu’s attempts at correcting Kaya’s misspelling of her name – in actuality, it’s Laura – fall on deaf ears as Kaya smiles brightly and moves on to making the next drink. Kandra sighs as Lulu – shit, now I’m doing it! – walks on out the door, nodding politely.

“Problem?”

Glancing up at her cousin, she shakes her head. “No, not really. It’s just…”

“K’s Kold Brew for Doughnut!”

“Doughnut? I thought we were grabbing sandwiches or something?”

Kandra groans and peeks around Kaidan, coming face to face with a slate-eyed man who definitely carried himself like a soldier. The dark-haired woman beside him was snickering while guiding Kaidan’s children, Niamh and Tadhg, into the shop. And behind her…

“Aunt Kathleen!” Kandra throws her arms around her aunt for a hug. When the door behind her opens again, she gently herds them out of the way. Introductions are made to her cousin’s friends – definitely soldiers, she called that one right – and then gives each of the kids a hug. “Go on and get your drinks,” she tells them. “I’m going to finish the tree then I’ll join you for a few minutes.”

And, since you asked so nicely... 2.. is the next story set in the ME/WWII universe I'm doing. Caleb is taking Kaidan over to meet the Normandy Group at The Crown & Lion.

As Shepard led the way inside, his first act – always his first act – was to get a good eye on who was present. The Crown & Lion was a front for the Normandy Group, but it was a functioning pub as well. Behind the bar, as always, Reggie stood pouring a drink. Their eyes met across the room; Shepard nodded once, slightly tilting his head in Kaidan’s direction. The barman and owner of the pub nodded back, his solemn expression not changing a whit. Several of the tables and booths were filled, most with faces Shepard recognized if not knew personally. Another pair played darts in the back corner. And standing at the bar waiting for his drink from Reggie…

Shepard’s lips curved into a smirk. “Hammersmith, aren’t you ever on duty?”

Tall and dark haired like Shepard and dressed in the kit of a Royal Marine, the Englishman accepted the pint Reggie handed over and turned towards Shepard with a snort. “Could ask the same of you, Shannon,” he retorted. “Where’ve you been? You working hard or hardly working these days?”

Kaidan followed Shepard over to the bar, stepping to the side as the Irishman shook hands with the English soldier. They exchanged a few words in greeting before Shepard gestured Kaidan over. “Coats, this is Lieutenant Commander Kaidan Alenko. He’s the one who –”

Another snort. “Got your sorry arse out of France. Right. Read the report.” Coats extended his hand towards Kaidan. “Commander Ryan Coats. Nice to meet you. And thanks.”

Kaidan frowned as he released the man’s hand. “For what?”

Shepard’s sigh echoed throughout the room even before Coats said, “For getting him home.”

“Reggie,” Shepard said, positioning himself between Coats and Kaidan as he stepped to the bar, “a pint of my usual, please.” He glanced over at Kaidan.

“I will have the same, please.”

Reggie poured two pints of Guinness and handed them over.

As the three men crossed the room to an empty booth along the far wall, Coats couldn’t resist teasing Kaidan. “Mate, you’re supposed to be British military here, not bloody Irish!”

Shepard wasn’t surprised by the quick side-glance from Kaidan; he’d warned him about Coats’ unique sense of humor while assuring him they were best of friends.

Kaidan turned his shoulder so Coats could see the badge on the upper left shoulder. “Actually,” he said as he set his drink down and removed his greatcoat, “I am Canadian.”

Shepard bit back a laugh, dropping his coat with Kaidan’s on the back of the booth seat and sliding in with him. The bemused expression on Coats’ face was worth every penny in Britain at the moment.

“Not with that accent you aren’t.”

“C’mon, Coats,” he interjected with a wink as he lifted his glass, “I’d think you know from your own experience a man can be from two places at the same time.” He tipped his glass at Kaidan who had followed suit. “Sláinte.”

“Будьмо.”

“Cheers,” Coats added as he belatedly raised his own glass. After taking a sip, he glared over at Shepard. “You did this on purpose, didn’t you?”

Shepard’s right brow arced slowly yet dramatically upward. “Did what on purpose?”

“Don’t you play innocent with me, mate!”

Caught in his web, Chapter 50

Loki was going out of his mind with worry. He hadn’t slept a wink all night.

He found CCTV footage of Chloe going off with Ben to his car in the car park, but after that there was nothing. Loki had no idea where his girl was. For all he knew, Ben could’ve taken her to the other side of the country by now.

Samuel had no luck at Ben’s London home. Ethan had spoken to Amanda but she was only able to tell them what she knew before she had left with Ralph. She was really worried and asked to be kept updated.

David walked into Loki’s office in his home to find him with his head down on the desk. David put down a cup of tea next to him and Loki slowly sat up. David patted his shoulder. ‘We will find her, don’t worry. Michael and some others are out there now checking all known places where Ben frequents. Someone will know something.’ David assured him.

Loki ran his hand down his face and picked up his tea. He had just taken a sip when Pete appeared at Loki’s office, knocking.

‘There’s someone here to see you, boss. You’re going to want to speak to him.’ Pete said, looking uneasy.

Loki shot up to his feet and rushed through to see, with David following right behind him. He was super worried for Chloe too. He was really fond of her.

Rage surged through Loki when he laid eyes upon the visitor.

Kenneth.

He looked absolutely terrified. And rightly so as Loki stormed up to him and pushed him to the wall, hand around his neck, choking him.

‘WHAT DID YOU DO?’ He roared at him.

Kenneth spluttered and coughed.

‘I… I… need… your help.’

Loki reluctantly let him go. Kenneth rubbed his neck and breathed in deeply, getting air back to his lungs. He cowered back from Loki and looked nervously at David and then Pete who was standing by the door, to make sure he didn’t try and make a quick escape.

‘Spit it out.’ Loki snarled.

‘I made a mistake… I went to Barnes. I paid him to get Chloe back. But he… he’s not giving her back to me. I didn’t know where else to go.’ He started sobbing pathetically.

Loki scrunched his nose up and ran his hand through his hair.

‘You better tell me everything you know. Where is he?’

‘I really don’t know. He wouldn’t tell me. Just said he had her in a safe house somewhere. But he plans to sell her, told me he has girls to be shipped to Germany that he’s sending her along with!’

Loki stopped dead and froze. He looked at Kenneth, eyes wide. It was the first time Kenneth had seen Loki look so scared… It threw him off completely.

It was like time stood still as Loki looked at David and Pete, they both were thinking the same as Loki.

Once Chloe was sent to Germany, there would be no finding her. Even though Loki was in on the deal, what happened on the other side when the girls arrived was nothing to do with him. They went into the system and Chloe would be lost from him forever.

Loki looked at Kenneth, who was looking desperate. He knew that he must’ve been desperate if he came back to him for help in the first place. But Loki was also seeing red and it was Kenneth’s fault that Chloe had been taken from him.

Running his hand down his face, Loki turned around with a sigh and noticed David’s gun at his side just under his jacket.

Loki moved quickly and swiftly grabbed the gun from David’s holster and he spun around, aimed the gun at Kenneth’s forehead. Kenneth only had a split second to react, screaming as Loki pulled the trigger.

He was dead in an instant.

David was a little surprised, not that Loki had killed him, but more the fact that he’d used a gun instead of his usual daggers.

Loki wiped his mouth with his forearm and handed the gun back to David. David took the gun and reloaded, made sure the safety latch was back on then slipped it into his holster. ‘Right then. I’ll call Michael and get him back here, he should be able to hack into Ben’s account to find details.’ David said.

When Michael heard about what was happening, he rushed back to Loki’s as quickly as he could. Everyone knew how sensitive time was now. They had to get to Chloe in time. Or it would be game over.

Ethan and Samuel dealt with Kenneth’s body while Michael worked as quickly as he could to get information from Ben’s accounts. But it wasn’t going to be easy or quick.

Chloe fought against Ben when he dragged her out of the house he’d stored her away in and hauled her into the back of a van. But not before he gagged her and tied her wrists together behind her back so she couldn’t try any funny business.

She was jostled about in the back of the van as Ben drove. She just sobbed the entire way there. Thinking there was no way out, Loki wouldn’t know where she was. And she wasn’t even sure if she wanted to see him for the fact this was his fault, he was the one in charge of the trafficking! Now she had been tossed into it too… There was even a part of her that wondered if Loki knew about this and had planned it all along, was Ben kidnapping her just a rouse...

It was about an hour’s drive when the van finally came to a stop. Chloe knew she would have a few new bruises after that ride, her sides were sore and so was her head.

The doors opened and Ben dragged her out. She looked around and saw that he had taken her to a harbour, there was a large boat with containers on it at the dock, being loaded with a huge crane. Ben marched her over towards a container that was waiting to be loaded, her stomach dropped and she felt sick when she saw a group of girls all in the same predicament as she was.

There was an array of men she didn’t recognise there, making sure none of the girls got away. When they saw Ben and her arriving, they all started herding the girls into the container. Chloe dug her heels in and tried to get away, but Ben grabbed her tightly and carried her kicking and screaming through the gag into the container.

‘Behave, I’m sure you’ll be sent to someone nice.’ Ben patted her cheek and pushed her, knocking her down to the floor.

Before she could get up, the door was slammed shut on her and she heard the huge bolts being locked over. She was plunged into darkness with the other girls, whimpering and crying.

Saw Black Widow in the Cinema this evening.

First movie I’ve seen in the cinema since December 2019. Yay me

Some of my thoughts afterwards.

BEWARE Some Spoilers Ahead BEWARE

I went in with few expectations, so I was pleasantly surprised when it turned out to be pretty good.

At least Scarlett Johansson got a worthy send off in her own movie. Although, let’s be honest here, this movie really should have come out before Infinity War, or at least before Endgame

Taskmaster reveal was actually better than I anticipated, although I wish they would have fleshed out the character more. Maybe a solo series starring her on Disney+ could remedy that. Also, if she shows up in the future and then under the alias Toni Masters. I won’t be surprised at all.

Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova was definitely one of the best parts of the movie. She was wonderful. Can’t wait to see more of her in future Marvel stuff. *cough* Black Widow 2 starring Florence Pugh, WHEN? *cough*.

David Harbour as Red Guardian was definitely the movie’s best comedic relief and I wanna see more of him

Main villain was a bit underwhelming and forgettable. But then again, this isn’t that kind of movie either, where the main villain is flashy, interesting and memorable in that way

As it is, I kinda expect to see most of the supporting cast to show up in the future. I’m also kinda expecting to see former Red Room Widows of all kinds as a regular plot device of some sort in the MCU going forward.

This being Marvel, the action sequences are wonderful, as expected. But I really like how a lot of the ones in the movie are clearly inspired by Bond movies

Also, as much as I would love a comic book accurate Taskmaster in the mcu, I’m aware that that wouldn’t work for the movie and I’m fine with that

All in all. A solid 7-8/10. Definitely a really good movie and a worthwhile reason to go to a movie theater for

#that’s it #my brain is blank now #it’s 2am now and I’m too tired to think of more #might update later #with more #marvel #mcu #black widow #black widow movie #black widow spoilers #bw spoilers #bw #aaraku speaks #own post

Loki ran his hand down his face and picked up his tea. He had just taken a sip when Pete appeared at Loki’s office, knocking.

‘There’s someone here to see you, boss. You’re going to want to speak to him.’ Pete said, looking uneasy.

Loki shot up to his feet and rushed through to see, with David following right behind him. He was super worried for Chloe too. He was really fond of her.

Rage surged through Loki when he laid eyes upon the visitor.

Kenneth.

He looked absolutely terrified. And rightly so as Loki stormed up to him and pushed him to the wall, hand around his neck, choking him.

‘WHAT DID YOU DO?’ He roared at him.

Kenneth spluttered and coughed.

‘I… I… need… your help.’

‘Spit it out.’ Loki snarled.

‘I made a mistake… I went to Barnes. I paid him to get Chloe back. But he… he’s not giving her back to me. I didn’t know where else to go.’ He started sobbing pathetically.

Loki scrunched his nose up and ran his hand through his hair.

‘You better tell me everything you know. Where is he?’

Loki stopped dead and froze. He looked at Kenneth, eyes wide. It was the first time Kenneth had seen Loki look so scared… It threw him off completely.

It was like time stood still as Loki looked at David and Pete, they both were thinking the same as Loki.

Running his hand down his face, Loki turned around with a sigh and noticed David’s gun at his side just under his jacket.

He was dead in an instant.

David was a little surprised, not that Loki had killed him, but more the fact that he’d used a gun instead of his usual daggers.

When Michael heard about what was happening, he rushed back to Loki’s as quickly as he could. Everyone knew how sensitive time was now. They had to get to Chloe in time. Or it would be game over.

Ethan and Samuel dealt with Kenneth’s body while Michael worked as quickly as he could to get information from Ben’s accounts. But it wasn’t going to be easy or quick.

It was about an hour’s drive when the van finally came to a stop. Chloe knew she would have a few new bruises after that ride, her sides were sore and so was her head.

‘Behave, I’m sure you’ll be sent to someone nice.’ Ben patted her cheek and pushed her, knocking her down to the floor.

Before she could get up, the door was slammed shut on her and she heard the huge bolts being locked over. She was plunged into darkness with the other girls, whimpering and crying.

Behold another Lost Boys holiday special! It was between this and Valentine’s day, but honestly I love writing Christmas specials, its such a cozy time despite the high suicide rates, but lets not get into that. A BIG SHOUT OUT TO @imlostinsantacarla FOR HELPING ME EDIT MY FINAL DRAFT!

Fun Fact! My husband, David (yes, that is actually his name) actually does have the bah humbug hat I mention in the head canons. He’s a heavy metal goth so when I found it at the store I had to get it for him. And you just know if our David found that, he wouldn’t be able to resist it!

Christmas with the Boys

Alright, so the whole touchy, feely and mushy feelings that surround even the topic of Christmas time is not something any of the boys will ever openly admit to enjoying. After all, they see themselves as these bad ass brutal killers who thrive off of death instead of holding hands and caroling with the goodie goodies of this coastal town.

Yet, it's challenging for them not to get sucked into the glitz and glam of the holiday season. Everything is a big deal in Santa Carla. Dia De Los Muertos, Halloween, Thanksgiving- everything! But especially Christmas.

Christmas in Santa Carla dwarfs the frenzy craze of Halloween. The entirety of the boardwalk is decked out with red and green lights that are tightly wound around palm trees, red bulbous bows are wrapped tightly around street lamps, the reds and whites of velvety fabric swirl down the posts, creating the effect of candy canes. All the store windows are painted to appear frosted, or covered with painted snowmen whilst several rooftops are covered with white felt in which mimics the texture and sight of snow. Even the boats in the harbour are all extravagantly decorated in a sea of lights that parade around brightly at night in every color imaginable.

Between the dates of the 30th of November all the way to the 24th of December the city of Santa Carla hosts a plethora of wondrous events in it's annual Holiday Festival. Large green, white and red kiosks are erected, selling a wide range of baubles and treats, from delectable chocolate coated rice krispy Santa Clauses, elf candy apples caked in a plethora of dark chocolate and peppermint, to a variety of Holiday hats, masks and even hand made costumes by the many local artists. Even hand carved candles in wondrous scents of pine, mint, or spice.

Currently, David possesses a black fur Santa hat which he acquired on a night out that boasts the words "Bah Humbug" proudly sewn over the front. It's the only holiday attire he'll even humor. Last time Marko attempted to place reindeer antlers on his head, David had set them on fire roasting atop a pan of chestnuts. Now it's not to say that he's a grinch persay. Rather, the complex and intense emotions that come hand in hand with Christmas can leave him perpetually indifferent at best, disdainful at worst. The whole occasion leaves him displeased. After all, he was an orphan who had been almost eagerly abandoned by his hooker mother left to fend for himself from the beginning, and of course never met his father. Even she could not identify which of her many clients may have been responsible. Most of his mortal life he had lived as a street rat, barely making ends meet by picking the pockets of tourists and Santa Carla citizens oblivious to the true dangers of the lower side of town. The rich and uppity classes who often snubbed their entitled noses his way would never suspect as he lurks between alleyways, leaving them cornered at knife point. It was scarce that he ever did see a kind face in the sea of those who had little interest for anyone that was not themselves. Back then it was rather uncommon for anyone to step outside their own little lives, which led to most interactions, outside of the other boys, having been met with great hostility, thus he had learned to be just as equally hostile in turn. Even the mere thought of anyone suddenly dawning a false kindness due to a certain time of year simply agitated David. It rattled him to the very core in a way very few other things did. Why bother with the lies? Couldn't people just face the very basic fact that they weren't nearly as charitable as they often deemed themselves to be? I mean, the young man had seen firsthand a family having previously snubbed a dirty homeless man with appalled disdain at the sight of his muddied clothes and dirt stained skin, only to then begin volunteering at a soup kitchen to purge whatever guilt they carried on their conscience once the holiday season began. The whole ordeal was pitiful! Nevertheless, - more so for Paul and Marko's sakes than his own -, he did humor these traditions amongst the holiday's festivities. Ruining a good time just wasn't his style. Unless they started fucking singing.

Most traditions David could tolerate, some he even enjoyed slightly; although he would never be caught dead admitting something as embarrassing as that! However, he just couldn't stand Christmas carols! They were the bain to his immortal existence. The repetitive nature of these overly cheery jingles left him covering his ears lest they nest in his brain leaving him humming the same damn melody for weeks. This was the case because the dynamic duo of dumbasses were well aware of his hatred for Rudolph the Red Nosed fuckin' roadkill! Stupid red nosed abomination.

“OOOOOOH-,” Paul begins with cheerful mischief.

“Don’t. You. Fucking. Dare.” David seethes through tightly clenched teeth, eyes screwed shut in indignance.

Paul hesitates. He looks at Marko. Marko looks at Paul. Wicked grins of agreement spread wide like wildfire across their faces as their master plan comes into play. Full throttle. What’s more fun than annoying the shit out of David? One on the left, the other on the opposite side of the cave on the right. This was nothing but Divine perfection if you asked the two troublesome vampires.

“OOOOOH DASHING THROUGH THE SNOW!” Paul belted out at full volume.

“IN A ONE HORSE OPEN SLEIGH!” Marko followed in suit, the widest eerie grin plastered on his face.

“OVER THE HILLS WE GOOOO” Paul howled enthusiastically.

“I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU BOTH!” David's voice hit a whole new octave it had never in all his life so far. All the while Dwayne had opted to vacate the room lest he be caught in the middle of the escalating madness with Laddie in tow. He loved these guys, but not enough to dive head first into their fuckery.

Paul thrives during the Christmas holidays! How could he not? The food, the punk rock covers of Christmas songs, the absolute babes prancing around the town in Santa hats under mistletoe?! He loved it all! You can find him sneaking under mistletoe with many sweet honeys on a constant basis, regardless of whether or not he's acquainted with them. Most do roll their eyes or laugh it off, but every once in a blue moon the guy will get a little lovin' from a beach babe in the Yuletide mood. What else could he ask for? You can bet he’ll run into the woods December first, and quite literally RIP a pine tree out of the ground to bring home like a wee carrot being plucked from the ground. The bigger the better! He may even drag Dwayne or Marko along with him if it's too big for him to carry himself. And all the boozy drinks he can concoct up? This boy is in his element! Mulled wine, spiked eggnog, candy cane vodka, butterscotch bourbon hot chocolate?! Yes! David straight up refuses to try anything that Paul creates himself (remember the concoction he made in Max's kitchen? Those poor goldfish....) which is also another reason why he has Dwayne help him. Or rather, the other boys insist the most responsible of them monitors the blonde lest he poison them with some sickly brew. That, and the fact that Dwayne's the least likely out of all of them to blow up the damn kitchen!

Dwayne is indeed the designated cook during the holiday rush, albeit a field even he tends to struggle. Avoiding the kitchen catching aflame, perfecting his craft lest he blow up the stove, leaving only a pile of ash in its wake. As previously mentioned, ever since the dreadful chain of events that lead to the unfortunate destruction of Max's kitchen, this raven haired vampire has attempted his hand at learning to use a stove properly: Although he often finds himself forgetting ingredients either in the midst of cooking or after the final product is done and he's taken a big bite.

“Shit! I forgot the milk and eggs!” Dwayne grumbled with a mouthful of dry crumbs, a true disgrace of a cookie.

Paul always gives him crap for it of course.

“Oooh I just thought you were going for a sandy, dusty dry cookie kinda thing.”

"Yeah man, these taste like ass!" Marko would cough out in midst of choking.

"And what, like you dumbasses could do any better," Dwayne retorts with a huff. Only Star manages to have any manners when testing his failed baking endeavors.

"Well I mean, the taste isn't that bad. Just a little dry is all."

"At least Marko wouldn't be choking to death." David would mutter from the darkest corner of the room, a little late in the conversation.

In all honesty, Dwayne's biggest motivation when it came to improving his skills was obviously Laddie. The kid never got much of a Christmas whilst living with his mom, so now that he was with the boys, he wanted to ensure that Christmas's were something that Laddie would remember for all eternity. Though granted, it is quite the mess when he was helping in the kitchen. But when the mini vamp grins from ear to ear whilst coated in flour and rapidly stirring an overflowing bowl of chunky cookie dough--the sight is too freaking cute!

Since Laddie joined the boys, they participate in Secret Santa every single year, which definitely includes Paul bursting through the entrance of the hotel as Santa on Christmas day. We won't talk about the fact that each year he almost falls flat on his face and swears, ruining the surprise for the kid.

"Santa where are your reindeer," he'd question, to which Santa Paul scoffs

"Pff, reindeer, I don't need any fucki- Ow," cut off by a firm and covert kick to the shin from Star, Paul quickly changes his response. "Oh! Ho ho, well, you see little boy, Santa can fly too! On his, uh, uhm… magic motorcycle! Yeah, that!"

But it's okay because Laddie already KNEW (he figured it out a year or two ago after Paul's beard fell off not once, but three times), he just doesn't have the heart to tell any of them because, well Paul really gets into it. And he knows the others are playing along for his sake. But to be fair, Laddie would have to be pretty dumb to believe it was Santa. I mean, the beard Paul's wearing is hanging half off his face by this point! But anyway, just like Paul's style, the entirety of the goody two shoes schpiel is thrown out the window, replaced with sleeves that have been ripped off, muddy boots, spiked bracelets and his Metallica shirt in full view beneath his flared red coat. He calls this BIKER CLAUS!

Laddie is not a squasher of traditions! But there was the one time that David had to intervene when Paul and Dwayne thought it would be great to use Laddie as the star at the top of the tree. David practically had a heart attack. Well, that's impossible but it still felt like he was having one!

“Ho ho ho! Now, don’t be a bitch, little David or Santa will have to give you coal.” Paul stated mockingly to David, brows furrowed.

“Well, Santa,” David scolds, a wry smile developing on his face when setting down the eight year old now off to shake his presents beneath their behemoth of a tree. “You best be careful. You never know what's in those milk and cookies, hm?”

Each year Marko buys bird toys for the pigeons in the hotel. Well, buy is probably the wrong word. More like he liberates the stores of their stock. And then for the next six months, David has to hear the agonizing jingle of bells. David almost roasted one pigeon in particular that kept flying over him to drop the ball with a bell in it on his head. That was Paul's entertainment for the next five hours, hell, he'd try to find it if the bird lost it and give it back. Marko defends the pigeon. Between running through stores buying up surprises for his friends, he's helping Paul throw out decorations for the cave. The dollar store has some surprisingly unexpected treasures, allowing him to deck the fucking halls to the max. Tinsel here, ornaments there, tiny light up trees to hide around the caves, a butt ton of cinnamon pine cones which he ends up throwing back and forth with Paul.

And Paul often steals his gifts or goes dumpster diving for any hidden gems. He forgets to take the tags off of them the majority of the time, which is always an indicator whether or not its new. Any time Star asks where he got them from he refuses to answer. Just gets up and walks away. But for David's gift? Well this lucky bastard has found coal in the dumpster and chucks it to David when he's not looking and he sighs deeply in disappointment because this is the third year Paul has done this.

"Huh? What? Who did that? Wasn't me. Somebody's throwing stuff."

Other than that he'll find a fat bag of charcoal and just tape the name David on it. David is certainly not amused. Dwayne will actually try to figure out what the others want, and has the sense to save the money taken from their previous meals. After all, they're dead, they wouldn't have much use for it anyway. He's not about to waste his hypnosis on some poor cashier. That would be a waste of time in his eyes.

When Christmas did arrive the tree was piled with mysterious boxes crudely mashed and taped together with bows and ribbons underneath it. It's obvious which ones are from Star since those gifts are wrapped in neatly pressed paper, wound tight beneath curled ribbons that remind the boys of her hair. Marko often goes on a food run rather than allow them all to be subjected to a potentially charred turkey, no offense to Dwayne of course. So, with a table covered from end to end with copious bowls of gravy, potatoes, candied sweet potatoes, a beast of a turkey in the center packed to the brim with cornbread stuffing, the boys cram into their chairs knocking back beers and spiked cider. Keeping to their own traditions, after fattening up, they gather around the tree and play card games, just as they had over eighty years ago on that frigid night. David still slays them in poker, and Marko is an utter dark horse when it comes to blackjack. Paul insists they try Go Fish. No one ever wants to play Go Fish. Closer towards the end of the night Dwayne will slip away to Jasper's shrine and bring him a fresh glass of rum as well as unwrapping what he got him that year. While Dwayne is there, the other boys will join him - omitting Star and Laddie left unaware of the Lost Boy they'd never met - in celebrating the last hour or so of the Holiday season with their fallen comrade.

Although Christmas time is often about uncomfortable mushy moments and emotions that create deep, unfamiliar times for David. The entire ordeal becomes that for everyone of the boys and Star. But God forbid anyone who even mentions it! I mean, it's kinda obvious though considering he's spending it with the people he always called family, knee deep in traditions that are sentimental to himself and the boys. There's a fluster of emotions running rampant during this particular Holiday Season, and although the blonde brooding vampire decides to squint at it with skepticism he savors these moments, knowing like Jasper, it could all be swept away with a single ray of light or the foolish hand of a hunter. So as they sit, drunk, full, and laughing beside Jasper's grave he can't help but smile at the sentimentality of it all. Christmas is a pain in the ass, but… it's a pain he'll gladly sit through for his brothers.

Black Widow Finally Introduces Taskmaster, But Who Is Behind the Mask?

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

This article contains MASSIVE spoilers for Marvel’s Black Widow

We had to wait a long time for Black Widow. Marvel and Disney’s Phase 4 solo film for Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson) was originally set to be released back in May of 2020 but, well, we all know what happened next, so this summer finally brought us our first Premier Access MCU film. Luckily Black Widow was worth the wait.

It’s an action-packed installment that introduces a slew of new characters we’ll likely see again in future MCU films and Disney+ shows. One of those is the highly anticipated Marvel Comics villain Taskmaster, who can mimic any fighting style. You’ve heard of people who have a photographic memory, but Taskmaster has photographic reflexes and in Black Widow we see the character perfectly copy the moves of Hawkeye, Captain America, Black Panther, and even Natasha herself, making them a formidable adversary.

The Marvel Comics Taskmaster

Created by David Michelinie and George Perez and introduced in 1980 in Avengers #195, Taskmaster has become a go-to mercenary for hire in the pages of Marvel Comics, where his particular skills are often priceless. Eventually, Taskmaster realized he could take advantage of his talents without risking life and limb by becoming a tutor. He also realized that both the good guys AND the bad guys would be willing to cough up the cash for his services given the right scenario. Taskmaster can therefore run a pretty perfect game with few drawbacks.

In the comics, Taskmaster’s name is Anthony Masters, so the MCU’s “Antonia” is a nod to that.

We have more on Taskmaster’s comics history here.

The MCU Taskmaster

But in Black Widow, which is set between the events of Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War, Taskmaster works for General Dreykov (Ray Winstone) and gives off Terminator and Nemesis vibes – stalking and attacking Natasha as she tries to track down Dreykov and finally put an end to his Red Room programme.

When Natasha first defected to work for the US government, her last test was to eliminate Dreykov, a task she thought was accomplished by making sure his young daughter was in the room with him when a bomb went off. Indeed, the “collateral damage” killing of Dreykov’s daughter has long haunted Natasha, and the incident was first mentioned all the way back in 2012’s The Avengers when Natasha interrogated Loki before the Battle of New York. Unfortunately, as we learn during Black Widow, she didn’t succeed in killing Dreykov during that mission, and ended up maiming his daughter Antonia during her attempt.

Olga Kurylenko

Black Widow eventually unveils Taskmaster as Antonia (Olga Kurylenko) the grown-up and still disfigured daughter of General Dreykov. Kurylenko is a Ukrainian-French actress who starred in the movie Paris, je t’aime before snagging more action-based roles in Hitman and Max Payne.

Her big break came in 2008 when she starred as Bond girl Camille Montes, a Bolivian agent with a vendetta in Quantum of Solace. Interestingly, that film has a number of ties to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as it also features her Black Widow co-star David Harbour, and What If? narrator Jeffery Wright. Kurylenko also later starred in the Tom Cruise-led sci-fi flick Oblivion and led the cast of the massively underrated 2019 indie horror The Room.

After finding out that Taskmaster is Dreykov’s daughter, Natasha decides to save her by deactivating her Red Room control. Antonia then departs with the Yelena and the rest of the Widows to help others affected by the same chemical process who have now had their freedom unlocked. Meanwhile, Natasha will die at the bottom of a cliff on Vormir having given her life for the Soul Stone in Avengers: Endgame.

If you’re wondering when we might run into Antonia again, the comics might suggest some intriguing MCU avenues, as it was Taskmaster who set about training John Walker after he was stripped off his Captain America mantle. Following the events of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Wyatt Russell’s Walker is already on his way to becoming his Marvel Comics counterpart US Agent thanks to Valentina Allegra de la Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfuss), and it was confirmed that Valentina has also drawn Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh) into her web during Black Widow’s post-credits scene.

These three may be pulled together to work on whatever team Valentina is cooking up. What that team will be called hasn’t yet been revealed but our money’s on the Thunderbolts, a crew of reformed villains who were once led by none other than Baron Zemo in the comics.

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

Will the Wise

ST s02e04

Hello y’all! I hope the weekend was okay for everybody. Check out Lucas Appreciation Week all about Lucas Sinclair from Stranger Things 💖🥰 !! And share some thoughts or rb’s of things Lucas-y if you’re feeling it :) He’s a great character who doesn’t get all of the love he’s worth, so I’m happy to see people talking about him more. Thank yous to @lucas-sinclairstan and @thesnarkywillbyersfan for getting this started!!!

Tonight I watched ep. 4 of ST2 and, as a friend reminded me a few days ago, this really is the season where we watch Will suffer, weirdly more so than s1 even. He’s a character I can identify with in some ways, and seeing him struggle sometimes feels familiar (for mundane versions of what he’s dealing with) and also sometimes feels weirdly rewarding, because he is surrounded by other characters who mean to do well by him, and in fact do. There is comfort in that, of a kind. I’m not sure what that says about me.

Speed limit, Joyce! School zone! Jeez.

I’m realizing that if this were a show with characters I didn’t care as much about, I’d probably have spent more time since I’ve gotten into ST thinking about questions like, What is the Upside Down? What exactly is the Mindflayer? etc.

Theories I’ve heard about those questions that have been at all interesting to me have been about them being extensions of Will’s trauma, or El’s, or about them representing adult abuse/neglect in some sense.

Hopper is so scary with El in this episode, more so than I remembered.

I am so uncomfortable right now

(I start to feel like my memory for things I’ve watched is not nearly as good as my memory for things in real life...)

Where is Will’s head at this point? It’s not like he’s in total thrall (yet) to the Mindflayer, not like people will be in s3...

Wheelers, you live in a cul-de-sac, who is even seeing your Reagan sign?

Dustin: “Hi, Max.” 🤣

Mr. Clarke’s monologue while Will starts shunning warmth is maybe a little on the nose...

Will is literally too cool for school right now cough, cough I’m here all week

“He likes it cold.” wow is that line creepy

Hopper. Why do you gotta?

As of this writing, Billy has not yet died.

The most sinister game of duck duck goose ever committed to film.

Joyce is a genius, honestly.

Mike is being an upright dickwaffle to Max just wow

El, why are you cleaning up? You’re just giving Hopper what he wants!

(yup, i’m still upset)

So I guess David Harbour said in a recent interview that the “Dad” stuff underneath the cabin living room is very important? Is “Dad” Hopper’s dad though, or is it Hopper himself?

Owens: “Mistakes have been made.”

He is surprisingly upfront with Nancy and Jonathan though...

Weeds. Stopping the truth from spreading too far...

...protective secretiveness, almost-lying, truth being love but also being dangerous, there are no gay metaphors here though

Secrets: “what are we, in second grade?” Typically, second-graders in the US are 7 years old. Mike will much later hide behind saying he’s acting like a 7-year-old. What could be special about that age to the Duffers? 🧐

I didn’t know Boggle was a thing in the 80s.

“Mama?” 😭😭😭

“Let’s burn that lab to the ground.” She a badass, our Nancy.

I am so sorry about what I know we’re about to be shown is happening to your cat in Dustin’s bedroom, Dustin’s mom.

eewwwww, a freshly shed demoskin

Poor kitty :(

For real Hopper that is an impressive volume of digging

when you can tell the sun is still up when they shot the shot but a filter is making it look like sunset

Hopper drops into the tunnels and then, get this, the camera turns UPSIDE DOWN we get it, jeez
