I can't believe infinity war didn't make it onto the poll along with endgame
apparently most people seem to like Infinity War more than Endgame and consider Endgame the bigger crime against the MCU and I'm so ??? Infinity War's grown on me, I will admit, but it's not nearly as entertaining as Endgame imo it just drags on so long that by the time the big battle happens I barely remembered that they started the movie by killing off Loki to pRoVe tO tHe AuDiEnCe ThAt ThAnOs iS a VeRy BaD dUdE (I assume was the point at least; proving that the movie does have high stakes and that Thanos is someone to be wary of) but that was like two whole hours before the final fight began and ugh Marvel's worst crime is making Infinity War so goddamn long

Don / Timeline Mobius' kids are coded as Lokis.
This does NOT mean Mobius = father figure.
More so that Mobius' previous wife was probably a mischievous scamp, and... jet-skis also relate to Mobius' true passions.
What will HE want?
Let me explain :)
Tumblr media
First: look at the kids.
Kevin = Sylvie.
Tumblr media
That's a minute man ^
Just like Sylvie burnt in season 1, episode 1 – and everything she used (the lamp and the reset charges) was stolen, just like Kevin's matches.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And the other kid?
Sean = Loki.
"Don" gets him to help in the same way Mobius got Loki to help catch Sylvie in season 1.
This tactic...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
...is the same as this tactic.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The exact same method, on full display! Very amusing to me personally.
Aside from the fact that his kids are, hilariously, little hellions and perhaps take after their wayward mother (who maybe ran away in typical Loki fashion, if she wasn't snapped by Thanos? 👀)… and that that gave Mobius the unique ability to know how to "handle" Lokis, even subconsciously…
We see towards the end of the episode that "Don" cares about his kids, yes; of COURSE he cares about them! They need him!
But.
Being a parent reallyyyy isn't his passion. The work (in this case, jet-skis) is his ACTUAL passion.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
He drops everything kid-related to talk about jet-skis... and also drops everything kid-related to talk to Loki.
These 2 things explicitly criss-cross. Deliberately in the context of Don trying to get Loki to fill the role of his new romantic partner.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Plus, y'know, there's the fact that Don immediately flirts with Loki at the store by telling him his entire schedule and announcing to him that he's single. Which is fucking amazing.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yeah, that's the actual dialogue.
So, I'll spell it all out:
Don's kids are mischievous scamps, and his wife probably is/was too.
Loki is Mobius' ideal partner (which we already knew, but this is another fun detail to enjoy!) – and Loki will actually STAY. He'll REMAIN, if you will.
Mobius' ideal life involves focusing on work that he's passionate about, not being a parent. And it's OKAY for him to want that! Especially in the context of his TVA life. He has purpose-driven work; he's not "abandoning" his kids. And he's helping others.
Loki's conversation with Sylvie is a whole other post to unpack, but: what's wrong with wanting something?
Tumblr media
Or: what's wrong with wanting SOMEONE?
It's about "who."
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
If you're very lucky... the where/when/why AND "who" align.
At the TVA, for Mobius, they do and they will.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh, that's lovely.
Yeah.
------
I write lots of Loki meta on Twitter, whoops! I haven't crossposted all of my ep5 meta yet because I'm offline this weekend, but you can find my tweets collected here.
My stuff on tumblr is under the tag "chars loki posts."

I just want to reflect how much the Loki show ruined Loki as a character for me and how much disheartened I was with it.
I had always wanted a spinoff on him, which explored him more. And the Loki show did anything but that.
Do you guys remember how Loki was in Infinity War for like 5 minutes, yet Tom Hiddleston was at almost every media interaction the cast had? The same thing happened in the show as well. They used him to market the show, then sidelined him in his own show. I think that was unacceptable, because they used Loki as a bait to promote a character that I held no emotions for.
Sylvie.
The argument that one does not like Sylvie because they “hate a strong female character/a character with complex arcs” is so pathetic. I don’t think I would’ve liked Sylvie even if she had the most elaborate arc in the MCU (which she doesn’t) because it just wasn’t meant to be about her.
I wanted to see Loki’s story, his journey, and if you take this moment to interject with the statement that “she’s Loki too, just different”, then I say that I wanted to see our Loki, the one who was broken when he found out that he was the monster parents told their children about at night, the one who had plethora of iconic dialogues while fighting the avengers, who was killed only for us to realize that he wasn’t.
Everytime I said that we needed a Loki spinoff before it was announced was not because I wanted new characters, it was because I wanted to see more of the character that was already there, very much beloved by the fans. I wanted them to explore his character in a deeper sense and maybe dip a little into mythology as well.
I think Loki was one of those characters that neither needed a love interest nor was ready for one. I don’t ship him with either Sylvie or Mobius, because it feels like neither of them genuinely like Loki for who he is.
Loki had far more compelling things they could have explored like his jotun heritage, his trauma from the time with Thanos and his magic that is the only memory he has of Frigga instead of his love life.
The whole show felt like it was written by someone who wasn’t the least bit interested in Loki and barely looked into him before creating his female counterpart.
It feels like a disrespect for the fans who were connected to Loki on an emotional level.
Why am I saying this now, after like 2 years since the show came out?
I don’t know, after hearing the news about season 2 releasing in October, I just feel so upset. Tired. I hate this show much because it made Loki so irrelevant to me. A sidepiece in his own show. He went around in ugly costumes and all the regal vibes I had from him just disappeared.
I still remember a time when Loki was on the top of my favorite characters, and I loved him so much. I still do, but I’m not sure if I’ll watch the 2nd season and my 13 y/o self would hate me for this.
I’ve gotten detached from his character and I hate myself for it because Loki was someone whom I adored more than anything else in the fandom world.
Loki is that one character who is loved by the fanon but absolutely despised by the canon.

i know i've talked so much about it today, but i seriously cannot get loki season 2 out of my head. everything i have learned about it has been against my will
it's genuinely messed up that so much of the dialogue in the loki series is spent talking about how loki is a bad person and a murderer and etc. when the loki show itself is the one that cut his redemption arc short.
a redemption arc, btw, which was for things he was likely either forced or manipulated into doing— and don't come to me saying the thanos torture is a headcanon. rewatch Avengers 1. he is harmed and threatened on screen. thanos canonically tortures his own daughters. and him harming LOKI is a stretch? come on, now.
"itS nOt CAnOn" shut up. curse of allspeak:

Shattered Memories • Chapter V: The Do-Over • {Peter Parker x Stark!Reader}
Tumblr media
Chapter Genre: Comical Angst, Comical Fluff Chapter Warnings: Very dialogue-heavy Masterlist
Tumblr media
↪ divider by firefly-graphics
“FRIDAY,” you sighed. “When is a riddle, not a riddle?”
You were at the Avengers Compound in your lab with information about none other than Peter Parker displayed on every holographic screen. You questioned yourself many times when you did this, and you felt like the character in those movies who obsesses over something because they definitely know something but everyone else around thinks they’re crazy or something. You considered stopping and going on living your life but you, your dad in heaven, and everyone around you know that once you set your mind on something, you cannot stop until you fully understand it or are satisfied with the facts that you have. You needed to know this for your own mental and physical health and you just about had it with not having the answers.
“When you have all the answers,” FRIDAY responded.
“And when is a puzzle, not a puzzle?”
“When there is nothing to take apart and put back together.”
“So, whoever Peter Parker is, is both a riddle and a puzzle,” you began with frustration in your voice. “I don’t have all of the answers nor do I have all the pieces. FRIDAY, I think I’m going insane.”
You rubbed your hands down your face slowly to try and calm yourself down. You had another dream last night. A wet dream. A wet dream about the Faceless Boy. 
You couldn't get it out of your mind how…sweet he was. The way he touched you, kissed you, caressed you…he was so sweet and gentle and caring. He made you feel like you were the most precious thing in the world. Though you couldn't see his face, he kept eye contact with you. 
But of course, you woke up once again in a sweat and with a migraine. 
You were at your limit. 
“Incorrect," stated the AI. “You are just showing signs of obsession.”
Your face twisted. I’m not obsessed. I’m just tired. “Way to make me sound like a loser,”
“Also incorrect, you just need to know everything about everything before you are satisfied.”
You deadpanned and took a deep, annoyed breath as you leaned your head in your hands again. You wanted to throw and break something. 
“Trouble in paradise?” You heard a deep voice ask.
You look over to see Sam and Bucky in the doorway. Bucky was holding a brown paper bag that said sweet greens across it and Sam was leaning in the doorway.
It would have to be a fun time to be paradise, you thought.
"Sergeant Barnes. Captain Wilson." You responded. 
“Should we be concerned?” Sam asked, looking at all the Peter Parker content surrounding you. “Because this is not looking good on your part.”
Bucky and Sam were two of the only Avengers that were left after the big battle with Thanos. Since the whole ordeal, they’ve been like big brothers to you since then. You were thankful to have them in your life still because they’ve been nothing but supportive through everything that you have been through and you have done your best to give the same support to them. 
You rolled your eyes softly. “Is that my salad?” You asked.
“Yeah,” Bucky confirmed, walking over and setting the bag next to you on the table you were currently sitting on top of.
“Thank you,” you opened the bag took out the food, and immediately began eating it hoping to get some dopamine and serotonin pumping in your system. 
“How can you eat that stuff all the time?” Bucky asked. “Isn’t too much of something unhealthy?” He looked up at the screens and then back at you.
You paused knowing what he was insinuating and sighed. “Brain food,” you replied. “You should try it sometime.”
He smiled in response and crossed his arms. “Alright smartass, wanna tell us why you're investigating this kid?”
“Not investigating him.”
“So then you're stalking him,” Sam asked.
“I’m not stalking him.”
“Well, you’re either investigating or stalking him. You gotta choose one.” Bucky replied again.
You looked at both men hard. “I’m studying him, thank you very much.”
They look at each other with looks of concern, confusion, and playfulness. 
“Stalking?” Sam asked.
“Stalking,” Bucky repeated but as a statement.
Sam turned his gaze back to you. “Sounds like stalking to me.”
“Yep, I agree.” 
“I’m not stalking him!” you exclaimed in frustration. “I’m trying to figure out who he is. You guys, wanna help? Help me figure out who he is and I can stop obsessing over it and move on with my life and run a company and be a normal fucking human being for once in half a decade, alright? If not, just leave me the hell alone to go insane.”
“Like I said, obsessive behavior,” FRIDAY added.
“Not in the mood, FRIDAY,” you responded as you put your food down harshly and rubbed your temples from the headache that had been forming since you woke up that morning from your dream about the Faceless Boy.
“Hey, kid,” Bucky spoke with a concerned tone. “Are you alright?”
Of course, you weren’t alright. After everything that you have gone through this month alone was making you sick. You had so much on your plate and so much to deal with that you had no idea how anyone made it through this before you. You may be being a tad bit dramatic, but you really didn’t care. Anybody in your position would most likely react the same way. You just wanted to figure this all out and move on with your life. 
“No.” You replied. “On so many levels, no.”
“What’s wrong?” Sam crossed his arms over his chest and leaned back on the table next to you as you sat on top of it. Bucky did the same on the other side. You sighed. How were you supposed to explain this entire situation to them without sounding like what you are appearing to be?  
“Promise me you won’t laugh.”
“Oh god,” Sam replied with a cringed wince.
“I’m serious,” you said sternly, looking at him hard. “I need you to promise me you won't laugh. Because if you laugh I swear to god,” you turned to Bucky. “I don’t care if you’re a super soldier,” You turned back to Sam. “And that your Captain America. I will kick both of your asses and web-cocoon you to the ceiling.”
Bucky snorted.
“Alright, little tough shit, calm down.” Sam smiled. “Promise.”
You looked to Bucky, who also promised. 
You take a deep breath to prepare yourself for what you’re about to say. “I’ve been having these…dreams...about a boy. But they’re more than dreams…they’re like...visions, vivid memories. But the thing is this boy doesn’t have a face and this has been going on for a while now. So when going through the Avengers files this came up.” You pull over the holo screen of Peter Parker’s file.
“So this is the infamous Peter Parker you asked us about.” 
“Famous actually,” You took another bite of your salad. “He’s an Avenger.”
Both of their faces twisted in confusion as they looked from you to the screen to each other searching for answers. 
“I’ve never seen him before,” Bucky stated.
“Me either,” Sam said with obvious confusion in his voice.
“Yeah and me three-ther.” You said as you click on a tab on his file and it pulls up information on Spiderman.
“He’s Spiderman?” Bucky asked but it came out more like a statement.
“Yeah,” You confirmed. “You guys don't recognize him and neither do I.”
They look at you with even more confusion and concern.
“Wait, you don’t?” Sam asked with doubt in his tone. “But y’all were partners in justice. Thick as thieves. The Iron Spider Duo. You two had inside jokes for days and were always with each other. How could you not recognize him or know his identity?”
“How can any of us not recognize him or know his identity?” you crossed your arms over your chest in thought.
“Well, we just figured he only showed you his true identity,” Bucky added. “We just thought he was shy or something.”
“Nah,” you shook your head. “He would trust you guys. He would trust all of us… unless…”
“Unless what?”
“Unless he did something wrong…or worse.”
“Okay, Like what?”
“I dunno, Bucky.” You replied and pointed your fork at his head. “What did I tell you about Brain Food?”
He deadpanned. 
“So you think that Spidey Parker is the boy with no face in your dreams?” Sam asked and you nodded. “But you can’t remember him.”
“Yes. I’m eighty percent sure that it’s him but I can’t remember that it’s him. So I’m unsure if it’s him. But my gut tells me that it’s him. So whenever I get too close to knowing, my head feels like it’s splitting in half and I end up with a migraine all day.”
“Do you have any clue how this all happened?”
“I have some hypotheses. One, if it is him and he did something bad and if we can't remember him, he somehow did it to cover his tracks. Two, if it is him and he didn’t do something bad and we can't remember him, someone did it to him to ruin his life. Three, Somehow too many people, or all people found out his identity and for his safety and the safety of others, he or someone else somehow made it so everyone doesn't remember him. Four, one of the big three is involved with some other unexplainable shit.”
“So you’re researching him,” Bucky said to no one in particular.
“Those are some good theories,” Sam responded. 
“But.” you started.  “There’s a question I've been brewing in my mind.” You put the bowl of greens down again. “If we can’t remember him are there others we can’t remember as well? Like a memory blip?”
A moment of silence fell between you guys. It was a thought that terrified all three of you. If one person can be forgotten by the world, who can say there aren't others? Who’s to say it’s not a villainous person? The more you thought about it, the more it struck fear in you. Anybody could just be forgotten and go on with their lives doing something. Or someone good in life has to start all over and be lonely.
Suddenly you felt bad for your other arachno-half.
“Have you tried talking to him?” Sam asked, breaking the silence.
You let out a deep sigh as you remember the entire event clearly. “Yeah…”
“And?”
“And, he won’t tell me anything, which is why I formed my hypotheses. But I get the vibe that he’s harmless.”
“How are you so sure?”
“We got bit by the same spider, I can sense his intentions.”
Another silence fell over you all for a moment. 
“We have to go on a mission for a few days,” Bucky stated. When we get back, we can help you figure all of this out.”
You nodded. “Thank you.”
“In the meantime,” Sam added. “Don’t do anything you would do.”
You scoffed and smirked. “Alright, I’ll just do what my dad would do.”
“Nah, you stay put, alright?” Sam chuckled. “Focus on being one of the 1% who actually give a damn about something.”
You smiled at that. “Be safe.”
Bucky put a comforting hand on your shoulder with a smile, “Be good.”
And with that both of your big bro figures leave and you sighed as you looked up at the screens. You thought about the possibilities of your hypotheses, the conversation you had with MJ, and the discussion you just had with Sam and Bucky. You mentally laid everything out and tried to decipher the missing pieces that you didn’t have. 
Then it hit you. A light bulb went off in your mind. 
“FRIDAY, pull up my dream logs and the information about Me and Peter Parker that we have and put them in timeline order to the best of your ability.”
“On it,” The AI replied back and instantly went to work. “This may take a while.”
“Trust me,” you replied. “I’ve got time.”
Tumblr media
It’s been a week since you walked back into Peter’s life and he hasn’t heard from you since. He knew why though. You were very busy, especially when you had an entire company to run and a family to attend to. Peter was pretty busy too so he had no idea that the days had come and gone so quickly. 
But he did have you on his mind the entire time. 
He was thinking about all the memories that you two had together that you didn’t have. Or maybe you did and his face just wasn’t there in any of them. He thought about you during class, during work, and patrols. His mind was just filled with you, you, you…
He didn’t mind. In fact, he was wondering how he could contact you again.
After classes ended, Peter met up with Gwen, Miles, and Harry again, He usually walked to the train station with Gwen and Miles to take the train home together. Cindy and Pav lived in the dorms so they would usually just go there after classes and relax for a bit before studying and doing homework.
Miles had his arm around Gwen’s shoulders and she had her arm around his waist. Peter thought the high school sweethearts were a cute pair but it only made him miss you more. He was both happy for them and also jealous of them and he felt very juvenile for it. 
“What are your plans for your day off of work, Peter?” Gwen asked.
Peter adjusted his backpack on his shoulder and shrugged. “Probably just gonna take it easy at home.”
“You’re not gonna just sit there and watch Star Wars again are you?” Harry asked with a playful groan in his tone. “I swear you can quote the script of every movie forward and backward.”
Peter laughed. “You say it like it’s a bad thing.” 
They walked out of the doors and down the steps of the historic building. The campus was filled with students going to and coming from classes in the New York City sun as they walked down the sidewalk. 
“So how are things with you and your girl going?” Miles asked. 
“Uhm…I haven’t spoken to her…in like….a week?” Peter said as he rubbed the back of his head.
“Dude?!” Gwen exclaimed and punched his arm slightly. “A week?! Really?!”
“She’s a busy person!” He defended.
“We’re all busy people!”
Peter turned and started walking backward on the sidewalk to face his friends as he addressed them. “Listen, I just don’t want to come off too strong too fast. I want things to go smoothly.”
That was only half true. In reality, he didn’t have your new number and he was terrified to call your office number at the Avengers Building and Nika answered the phone. 
“Yeah but a week?” Miles asked raising an eyebrow. “You could at least ask her how she’s doing and stuff like that.”
Peter chewed his lip as he stopped walking and his friends followed suit. “I mean…you’re right but…I don’t want to be overbearing and overwhelm her or anything. Especially considering everything happening with her, you know?”
“Yeah, totally,” Gwen replied not looking at him.
Peter noticed that they were looking right past him at something behind him and he followed their view. His face softened when he noticed a figure he wasn’t expecting to see.
There you were leaning up against a black convertible with a red interior. You were wearing your usual leather jacket with a black tee shirt tucked into a pair of fitted jeans and those Ghostface Doc Martens again. Peter concluded that this was your staple look. It was far from your oversized flannels, crop top tees, mom jeans, and Converse that you used to wear most days when you were seventeen. You wore a dark pair of sunglasses while scrolling through your phone. One of your legs was bent as your foot was flat against the door of the car. 
“Hey Parker, your girlfriend’s here.” Harry teased. 
“She’s not-...I mean she is-...I mean-” Peter didn’t even really know what to call you. “She’s not…my girlfriend…right now.”
“Oh? ‘Right now’?” Gwen also teased. “Maybe if you stopped fucking around she would be already.” 
Peter rolled his eyes at Gwen with a small grin. He turned to you and watched you for a moment. Man, you’re so pretty. And he wished that at this moment things were very different.
He wanted it to be that you came to pick him up after class and he would run up to you and pick you up spinning you in a circle and you would squeal and laugh happily. Then you would grab his face and kiss him deeply and show the world that you were his and he was yours. 
“Hey,” Harry elbowed him softly knocking him out of his daydream. “Staring at her like a creep won’t do anything but freak her out. Go talk to her.”
“R-right” Peter stuttered before taking a nervous breath. “Come on, Peter,” He said to himself, “you got this.”  
He started walking towards you and the more he did the more his senses began to pull towards you. You felt it too because you perked up and looked at him. The shaded lenses of your glasses faded to clear lenses and he saw your beautiful (e/c) eyes meet his. He stopped walking when you noticed him. 
“Parker!” You chimed. “Fancy seeing you here.”
He smiled as he stepped closer to you. “I should be saying that to you.”
“I was meeting with the admins about the gala. I plan on doing scholarships for incoming freshmen and offering financial aid to upperclassmen who are running out of money from the government. Same With MIT and the Ivy Leagues,” you explained. “But I thought I might catch you out here, so I stayed to say hello and to give you these.” You pulled a pair of glasses that were identical to yours and held them out to him. “They’re Stark Specs. Dad had blueprints made for them, one for me and one for you, so I decided to bring them to life. I connected EDITH and Karen to them and you can speak to them interchangeably. Don’t use them to cheat on your tests or anything, but I don’t control your life so do what you want.”
Peter chuckled and smiled. “Thanks (Y/N).”
“Don’t mention it,” You reply with a wave of your hand. “Try them on.”
Peter put them on and the glasses automatically began their work of data scan to identify him. Littler blue circles and squares showed up around the lens as they scanned his eyes to identify who he was. Beeping and other computer noises sounded as they worked and loaded information. His eyes darted from each thing that popped up on the screen out of curiosity. Once it finished five seconds later, there was a green bar that flashed in the corner of the screen that said “access granted” and “complete.”
“Hello, Peter,” EDITH Chimed. “Welcome to your new Stark Specs.”
“Uh, thank you…!” Peter replied. 
“Friend detected,” the AI said as it narrowed in on you and your glasses. “Hello FRIDAY.” 
“Hello EDITH,” Peter heard through his glasses.
“Whoa!” Peter replied with wide eyes as he looked at you. “Whoa…”
All of a sudden hearts start forming around your head through his lens. Peter blushed knowing that EDITH knows how he feels about you and with the Bestie Feature, she was messing with him probably just as much as Gwen or MJ would. He noticed that your smile was sheepish and he assumed FRIDAY was doing the same to you. 
“Pretty cool right?” You asked. 
“Yeah,” He smiled softly with hearts in his own eyes as he looked at you. 
“They also will detect whenever you are by any Stark Tech. It will help you on your…y’know.” You said referring to his hero duties.
“Oh yeah for sure,” He nodded understanding as he put his hands in his back pockets.
You smiled and looked behind him. “Friends of yours?”
Peter followed your gaze to his three friends who were looking at both of you eagerly before turning away to look at different things pretending they weren’t just eavesdropping on your conversation. Peter let out a breath of amusement nearly snorting at them before he looked back at you and nodded. 
Oh, those losers?” he responded in a playful tone. “Nah, they’re just whatever.”
“Huh?!” Gwen exclaimed hearing him.
You laughed softly at her outburst as she walked over and wrapped her arm around his neck.
“Hello,” Gwen smiled. “You must be the girl Parker can’t stop gushing about.”
Peter looked at Gwen with wide eyes as Harry walked over and put his arm around Peter’s neck as well with his arm resting over hers. Peter looked at Harry also with wide eyes and an unsure expression on his face. He got the feeling he was about to be tag-teamed by his friends. When Gwen starts some shenanigans, Harry soon follows suit, and vice versa. It’s something Peter had to get used to with them because once they start they don’t stop until they’re satisfied with themselves. It was like they shared a singular brain cell. Usually, Peter just laughs it off, but at the moment he really hoped that he wasn’t about to be the ass end of their lighthearted bullying.
Not in front of you anyways. He wasn’t sure if he was ready for that kind of embarrassment as a makeshift first (really second or third depending on how one looks at it) impression.
“Hey Stark,” Harry smiled. 
“Osborn,” You smiled back. “I thought I might run into you here too but I had no idea you were friends with Parker.”
“Oh, this loser?” Harry replied in the same tone as Peter a few moments ago. “Nah, he’s whatever.”
You and Harry had known each other since middle school and spent your freshman year of High school together at Horizon High before you transferred to Midtown Tech your sophomore year. Peter remembered when you told him that you transferred because you didn’t want to go to a genius school when you just wanted to have a normal high school experience. You also couldn’t stand how stuck up a lot of the students were there. He was always thankful that you transferred otherwise your relationship would probably have been very different. 
You hummed in amusement and Peter blushed. He was definitely about the be the ass of the joke here. 
Peter cleared his throat and swallowed hard as Miles joined in by putting his arm around Gwen with a teasing smile on his face. He had a very different vision of how he thought this moment would go. 
“(Y/N),” Peter started before any of the others could attempt anything. “This is Gwen, Miles and…well you already know Harry. Guys, this is (Y/N).”
“Hello, (Y/N),” Gwen chimed. “It’s nice to meet the girl that has Peter so enamored.”
“Th-that’s a bit-”
“Yeah, it’s nice to meet you,” Miles also smiled. “He talks about you like nonstop, always daydreaming in class. Good thing he’s a genius or he would have been falling behind in class with how much he’s a million miles away.”
No not you too, Miles.
“Oh yeah, for sure,” Harry added. “He even doodles your name in his notebook when he should be taking notes. It’s kind of adorable.”
Peter pulled out of his rather annoying friend's grip and looked at them with a face of disbelief and shock. 
“Guys!” He whisper-yelled.
“Uh oh, we’re in trouble,” Harry sang as Gwen and Miles snickered. 
Peter wanted to run. He wanted to escape. He wanted to not be here at this very moment. He glanced at you to see you looking at him with an endearing smile. 
“Aw, you like me, Parker?” you asked.
“No,” he answered as a reflex. “I mean yes, but…I mean…I…”
Harry pat his back. “That’s our cue, guys.”
Gwen and Miles nodded and said little goodbyes before scurrying away with Harry and snickering at their antics to tease Peter to no end. He glanced at them as they left before turning back to you with a blush dancing across his cheeks, nose, and ears. 
“They seem nice,” you smile genuinely. 
“When they want to be,” Peter responded and rubbed the back of his neck embarrassed. “Sorry about them.”
“Nah, it’s fine really.” you chuckled. “They remind me of my friends.”
Peter smiled thinking about Celina, Ned, and MJ and sighed softly at how much he missed them. He loved his friends now but nothing compared to the history he had with all of you. 
“Are you busy?” You asked. “I promise I won’t corner and interrogate you again.”
“I have time,” Peter responded a little too eagerly for his liking. He mentally scolded himself.
“Great,” You smiled and shoved your hands into the pockets of your jacket. “Wanna go for a ride?”
“Sure!” There goes that high-pitched voice again, he noted.
You giggled as you opened the car door. “You’re cute, Parker.” 
Peter blushed and made his way to the other side of the car. He’s pretty sure if you knew how he was last weekend at a party you wouldn’t find it so cute. He was thankful that his friends didn’t bring that up. He didn’t even wanna think about how humiliating that would’ve been if you knew he had a meltdown because his senses were crazy and craving you so badly. He just missed you so much and reacted in a not-so-healthy way. He wanted to put that all behind him and follow his friend’s advice about starting over with you. He got into the car and put his seatbelt on. 
“Are you hungry?”
“I could eat.”
“Where do you wanna go?” You asked as you put your phone on a dock that was connected to the dashboard. “It’s on me.”
“No, it’s okay! “I-I can pay for myself, it's fine.”
“Consider it an apology for disrupting your day last week.” you grinned as you turned the car on.
“You could never disrupt my day,” Peter mumbled, not realizing that he didn't keep that thought in his head.
“You're sweet,” you smiled in response. “But I’m still paying. So where do you wanna go?”
Peter smiled knowing how stubborn you can be and looked up in thought for a moment. “I can go for a good sandwich right now,”
“Okay,” You nodded. “I know a place.”
You backed the car out of the parking space and drove off. Peter took the time to notice how customized your car was on the inside with various Stark Tech and a fiery red interior and yet the exterior was of a classic sixties Mustang. Peter figured it was your way of being discrete. 
You turned on the music in the car and to Peter’s surprise, it started playing a song that pulled at his heartstrings. 
It’s our love song.
One of the ways you and Peter communicated your feelings to each other in your relationship was through music. He sent this very song when he first said those famous three words and eight letters to you and gave you the necklace that he still keeps close to him. He decided that when you two got closer, he would give the necklace back to you. 
“Oh my god,” you smiled big. “I love this song.” You started singing the lyrics and glanced over at Peter a few times as you sang the first verse. 
Hey, hey, hey, lover
You don't have to be a star
Hey, hey, hey, lover 
I love you just the way you are
For love is just the same
Without fortune or fame
Just give me
True love and understanding
True love and understanding
Peter watched you and smiled as tears brimmed his eyes behind his shaded stark specs. He was so thankful that they automatically shaded themselves earlier. 
“Come on, Parker,” you giggled. “I know you know this song. Sing with me!”
Peter laughs and wipes his eyes as he begins to sing. 
Hey, hey, hey, lover
You don't have to be a queen
Hey, hey, hey, lover
You don't have to have a thing
For I'll be satisfied
Long as you are my bride
Just give me
True love and understanding
True love and understanding
For the rest of my days
You smile listening to him sing before join in to sing the rest of the chorus together. 
No, you shouldn't have to worry
Love's no problem in my hands
Just know I really, really, love you
And in your heart, I'd be a big man
Hey, lover, won't you treat me right
And be with me tonight?
Just give me
True love and understanding
True love and understanding
For the rest of my days
You both laughed as the song continued to play. Peter looked down at his hands contemplating his next words carefully.
“I…uh…showed you this song,” he said sheepishly and rubbed the back of his head. 
“Did you?” you asked. “So I have you to thank for this being in my playlist. Well, you have good taste in music.”
Peter smiled as you hummed the rest of the song to yourself. In this moment, he was truly the happiest he has been in a while and couldn’t wait to create new memories with you. Even if you couldn’t remember the history you had together, at least you were back in his life to create new beginnings.

inb4 nicer post than my last one:
I saw Chicken Run 2. It's pretty cute. Definitely not as big a letdown or wasted like a Pixar sequel is.
Keep in mind I think I'm one of the few people in existence who's never itching to get sequels and continuations of my fandoms. I never wanted a Finding Nemo sequel and Finding Dory broke my heart in the worst way; by having unlimited potential and squandering it and the characters I love.
Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget doesn't do that, happy to say. Mostly it's just underwhelming.
It's weird. I'm definitely not a better writer than these professional writers, I just find myself going "why didn't you have the characters do/say THIS instead? It would still be cinematic and in character". I'd have to rewatch to give you a play-by-play of exactly what I mean. Overall I'd call that a nitpick. Bigger criticisms, especially when this is a sequel to a 20 y old film with fans who've seen in hundreds of times and know the details:
Hated how they retconed the chicks at the end of the original. You Thanos snapped Bunty and Fowler and possibly some of Rocky and Ginger's children. Also, those little 100% chicks were adorable. I'm okay with Molly being Ginger's only chick, but she'd look adorable as one of these:
Tumblr media
Another distracting continuity thing: Rocky gets upset that he can't crow anymore. Even though...he was never a crower. That was Fowler's job. I remember. I get that he's a rooster but my point is that was never a thing Rocky did in the original and that should be been better established as what he does now on the island. Put it among the lines that I think could have very easily been slipped in to make it more digestible; you could have had Rocky say to Ginger, "you gotta let me crow! That's, like, my thing now", implying that he's turned to being the island's crow-er to cope with abandoning his lone-free-ranger lifestyle. See? Small changes of dialogue that can imply so much and give you an idea of all the things you need to know in this newer story.
Even though Fowler did technically do something in the end most of the movie felt annoyed and just there. Really would have liked it if he and Babs were back up and helpful some other way while it was mostly Mac, Bunty, and the rats who went in to save Molly and Rocky. Idk. Maybe it's hard to be the absolute banger of a convenience that is the green aliens and ' the claaaaaw' in Toy Story 3-- needed to utilize him better for the gag and the story is what I'm trying to get at.
Rocky and Ginger's voices were distracting. It's odd because Rocky's is definitely the more noticeably different one that you have to get used to, but I am 100% replacing him considering who was his og voice. I'm mostly mad that in order to free Rocky of the curse they had to take the part away from Julia Sawalha.
This is probably going to controversial here but, um, I really wish Mrs. Tweedy wasn't the Mrs. Tweedy in this. I think it'd be a funnier, more of a "here we go again" gag that they actually find some way to contrive the villain of this movie to be Mrs. Tweedy's relative that just happens to look the same, sound the same AND have the same bloodlust for chickens. Like, the gag is that all of Mrs. Tweedy's family is Officer Jenny/Nurse Joy who are all identical to one another but they're also the Cruella of birds and all have a bumbling husband. Even though it's explained how she got here, it just kind of takes the teeth out of her original defeat and even her one in this film.
I kind of wish Ginger had stayed "colarred" for a longer stretch of time and the rest of the crew had to save her. I feel like Molly being placed in her mother's shoes would have been more dramatic and made the situation all the more dire and dependent on the other characters to think up a plan. Ginger being unable to do anything or "broken" would change it up a bit, provided she still makes the final save in the end.
That pop song during the 'Molly-growing-up' montage was bad and didn't suit the time period and vibe of the movie. It really took me out. Just play that in the end credits.
Mr. Fry never appeared again in his creepy chicken man suit and I kind of really liked the idea of this creeeeeepy farmer basically wanting to be friends with the chickens while dressing as one because he thinks he's more connected to them that way. But no that's just for one scene.
I was also expecting Mr. Fry to turn on Mrs. Tweedy as he noticed her obviously flirting with Reginald. Having the ending twist be that he assists the chickens in their escape or lives among them in a horrific chicken suit with the chickens taking advantage of this would have been right at home.
that's all I got.

Hiii! Hope you'll have a great new year! :) I had this dialogue idea for a prompt stuck in my head: “I’m keeping my eye on you.” - “I’m flattered.” It's perfect for IronStrange :)
I did have a good new year, thank you! Honestly, things have been getting steadily better in my life the last month or so thanks to a change I made that I unfortunately can’t go into detail about online. I hope you are also doing well! I agree, this is an excellent IronStrange prompt.  😀
This is a no-Thanos AU, because it felt more fun. 😀
-
Tony’s first encounter with Doctor Strange—not that he knows his name at the time—is when he’s chasing a strictly C-list low life and the guy runs flat out into a glowing orange wall and bounces right back into Tony’s gauntlets. FRIDAY quickly directs his attention to a man in blue and red robes who waves, smirks, and disappears through a portal.
He does it again, except with a crimson lasso type thing, two weeks later. The third time, he turns the tide in a three on one fight and disappears through a portal immediately afterward. “I don’t need your help, you know!” Tony shouts after him. He gets a jaunty wave in return.
FRIDAY identifies him on the third encounter, which only puts Tony’s hackles up more. What the hell is a neurosurgeon doing throwing around glowing walls and portals?
Strange doesn’t only show himself around Tony. FRIDAY’s tracking him now, and he pops up all over the place, although, for some reason, FRIDAY usually only catches the ends of his battles.
The first time they talk, Tony and Rhodey are chasing a guy in a frankly insultingly shitty knock off Iron Man suit through Manhattan airspace when he’s surrounded by an orange flash of light and starts falling like a rock. They have to dive to catch up and when the three of them finally settle into a hover to catch their breath, Strange is there with them. He’s infuriatingly elegant floating there, his cape flaring in the wind. 
Tony glares. “What the hell, Strange! You could have killed him!” 
“And here I was expecting a thank you,” Strange says dryly. His voice is deeper than Tony expected. “Relax. If you hadn’t caught him, I would have.”
“So why didn’t you catch him in the first place?”
“Considering the—” Strange waves at the shitty armor “—infringement, I thought you might want to be able to tell people you caught him yourself.”
“I did catch him,” Tony snaps. “Magic or no magic.”
“You see?” Strange waves at him. “It was important to you!”
Tony grinds his teeth. “I’m keeping my eye on you.”
“Why, Mr. Stark,” Strange just about flutters his eyelashes. “I’m flattered.”
“Because I don’t trust you!” Tony sputters.
“Whatever excuse you need to enjoy the show!” Strange says, and gives him a little wave as he disappears through one of his portals.
Tony is still fuming when Rhodey chuckles. “What?!”
“It’s kind of fun to see you get a taste of your own medicine,” Rhodey says. 
Oh, that is not okay. “He is an asshole who is driving me crazy.”
“Sure he is,” Rhodey says, still laughing. “All kinds of crazy.”
“You are not my friend anymore,” Tony announces, which only makes Rhodey laugh harder as they descend from the sky. Tony scowls. There is only one kind of crazy going on here, he promises himself.

Back to Where We Started
Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Reader
Summary: After the blip, you fell off the grid. One random day Bucky Barnes shows up at your door and you two have a lot more than just aliens to talk about.
Warnings: lonely reader, talks about the blip in general, kissing, Bucky calling you sweetheart, a little too much dialogue, idk you might hate it you might like it. Angst??
A/N: howdy! I’m too lazy to proofread so be warned.
After the battle against Thanos, you kinda fell off the grid. You didn't talk to Bucky or Sam, nobody. Trying to understand being blipped and how you jumped into a battle you had just lost, it took a tole mentally.
You sat in your apartment floor, sorting though five years worth of mail that was packed in a large sack. You'd smile at the few birthday cards or Christmas cards. Then you'd cry after seeing cards and letters that made you remember all the time you missed.
You were about half way through the mess when a loud knock appeared at your door. "Give me a minute," you called struggling to step over the many empty envelopes.
You didn't care to peek through the peephole, thinking it was some religious order, you unlocked the door and swung it open.
"Bucky," you said in complete shock.
He looked good and more put together than he had ever appeared. His chestnut brown hair was short and he wore a nice black coat that fit like a good jacket should. His eyes were full of worry like a thousand thoughts were filling his brain the moment he laid eyes on you.
You forgot how nice it was too see a familiar face. You and Bucky had always been close. At one point you thought of him as your best friend, and crush. Right on the battle, you told him you loved him. You really did love him. You still do.
So the minute you saw him, all you could do was embrace him. Your arms wrapped around him and his quickly did the same. Before you could notice, a few tears had fallen on his jacket from your cheeks.
Finally you pulled away simultaneously wiping the tears from your cheeks. "Sorry, I'm just really happy to see you James."
"No ones heard from you, I just needed to know you were alive. I was really worried about you."
"I know, I know, I'm sorry. Why don't you come in," you motioned. "Don't mind the pile of mail."
"I had some too. Luckily it all went to the compound so Steve took care of it."
"You cut your hair," you mumbled awkwardly as he stepped over your pile of mail.
"I did. I remembered how much you begged me to cut it, so I just went for it."
"To be clear, I was right,” you smirked while feeling your cheeks getting red by the second. “It really frames your face perfectly."
"So how's the team?” You leaned against your kitchen countertop as you asked. “Did Steve take the stones back?"
Bucky's face immediately dropped. "Steve he dropped off the stones and then um.. he stayed in the past. He's 102 now. Wrinkles and all."
"Oh." The lull of silence filled the room soon followed by a "yea," by Bucky.
"Well, how are you? Are you still at the compound."
"I moved back to Brooklynn, and under my pardon I'm seeing a therapist."
"Is she a good therapist?"
One hum out of Bucky and a uncertain facial expression gave you all the answer you needed.
"What happened Y/N?"
"After the battle, I was just done. I was trying to piece together the blip and then we won a battle we had just lost. I just fell off the grid and went back to the one place I knew and that was here. Luckily it hadn't been touched, but I know that's not the case for many people."
"You could've called me, you could've called any of us."
"Everyone is going through the same thing Buck, why bother someone if the problem isn't that special."
"Sweetheart, are you saying you're not special?"
Your eyes glanced up and he could see the tears starting to line them. He took your shaky hands in his to get a better look at you and immediately wrapped his arms around you and pulled you closer.
"You are nothing but special Y/N. Don't ever feel you're not worthy of help," Bucky's chest buzzed while he spoke while the top of your head stayed tucked under his chin.
"What happened to us Buck?" Sometime after you mumbled your question into his chest, Bucky pulled away but still left his hands resting on your back.
"Loaded question there," he looked down at you with his usual comedic smile. Although, it faded quickly when he saw the serious expression written in your face.
"Sorry, kind of coping with humor at the moment," just as he went to his cheesy self, he was back to the awkward Bucky you knew all too well. "Do you remember the moments right before we all, ya know, dusted?"
"Like it was yesterday," you answered quietly. It broke Bucky's heart as you stared at your hands shyly.
Everyone watched in terror as Sam dusted into a grey flaky material. You ran up to Bucky hoping he wouldn't succumb the same future.
"Bucky, I need to tell you something."
"Hm?" He asked in shock
"I love you," you said trying not to cry, but soon his hand started turning to flakes like Sam
"Y/N," he muttered before his body fell to the ground turning to dust.
What felt like a few seconds later, you could see your hands turning dusty and all you saw was white.
Bucky’s hand cupped your face lightly, taking you out of your daydream state. His eyes were soft as he looked at you, like he could read every thought that was going through your brain.
"Y/N," he said in an almost whisper. His thumb now tracing back and forth lightly against your cheek.
"I love you too. I always have."
A warm smile spread to your face as he said the words you had hoped to hear all that time ago. All you wanted to do in that moment was take a photograph of Bucky’s grin as looked down at you.
“Can I kiss you now?” His tone was close to an excited high schooler. All you did was nod and there was little time before your lips met in a soft sweet kiss. Bucky’s arms pulled your closer by your waist as your hands snaked up towards his shoulders.
"I missed you Buck,” you muttered in between kisses.
Bucky stopped for a second to look you right in your eyes and whispered, "I missed you too sweetheart,” before kissing you once more.

Mischief has received a tag!
@soliloquent-stark Tagged me to do this thing!
rules: list the first line(s) of your last 10 (or however many you have) posted fics and see if there’s a pattern!
1. May: Part 5 of Frost & Forge-Fire: A Year of OTP 2023 Frostiron 12 Month Anthology of a Relationship
The first time Loki sent Tony flowers, he was off on a mission with Steve, Thor, and Natasha while the inventor stayed behind with the others to worry about their significant others.
2. A place where sinners fall in love
Loki stared at the wreckage around the entrance hall of the palace, vases and other statues overturned and shattered across the once clean and shining marble floor.
(Note: That is not the exact first line, but it's the first line that's not just Loki's inner thoughts.)
3. Dancing in my storm
“Is this something the Avengers can and, more importantly, will help us with?”
4. To be in love with the masterpiece
“Loki! Where’re you headed? The studio’s back that way,” Steve called out when he saw one of his friends booking it away from the art building. He was on his way to the art studio from the parking lot and caught the swish of a short black ponytail bouncing in the opposite direction.
(Note: Okay, you got me. It's more than just one line.)
5. Eden revives in the first kiss of love
When Logan woke up, it was to the caress of sunlight on his eyelids and the warm breath of a kiss on his lips.
6. Under blue moon, I saw you
“Oh sweet fucking Norns,” Loki exclaimed.
7. You are the ghost behind my eyes
Steve had returned all of the Infinity stones as per his last mission as Captain America.
8. Heartache to heartache, we stand
Thanos’ army arrived like a swarm, decimated the compound, and left the sky black as if they’d put out the sun.
9. Take me back to the night we met
Tony bent over his scratched and dented Iron Man helmet.
10. Half past four and shifting gear
“You hear about Loki?”
Holy crap! I have patterns! Ones that my college creative writing profs would be so proud of me for. At least in these 10 fics (and very likely the ones following those), I start my fics either with immediate action or dialogue (speaking = action). I do remember when I started writing back in the Middle Stone Ages that I thought I needed to always "set the scene," especially with long rolling descriptions so anyone reading could 'see' where they were. I think I still sometimes try to set the scene, but it was 'gently' recommended by two of the profs I admire the most to start with action, dialogue, and one of them especially loved starting a story In medias res, and with "Under blue moon, I saw you," that was the start I gave it.
Who'da thunk that at almost 51, I'd finally grasp all those things my favorite writing profs kept encouraging? Go me!
Anyone else pick up patterns I haven't mentioned (or noticed)?
Tagging: @scottxlogan @mcfiddlestan @endlesstwanted @kleenexwoman @kedreeva @mistressofmuses @song-witch @stormxpadme @securitybreach @loni4ever @chaoticgardenbread @holistic-alcoholic @renlybaratheon-tyrell and anyone else who wants to play!

Word Count: 4004
Tumblr media
“I’ve been practicing magic for years, teaching you everything I know, and here we are.” I chuckle a little as Stephen sighs at your every comment.
“I asked Wong to cast the maintenance spell, he’s not the best listener.”
“Well Wong has more important duties as the sorcerer supreme.”
“He wouldn’t be the sorcerer supreme if I hadn’t blipped for 5 years.” The coffee machine made a bubbling sound as it filled the rest of his cup and he walked towards you. “I don’t really understand why they didn’t make you the sorcerer supreme.” He takes a sip of his coffee as he stares down at you,
“Because she tries escaping the sanctum. We all know she has very powerful powers, that she can’t quite control yet and we need to keep her here until we know we can trust her.” Wong walks out of the kitchen, casting a portal and walking into it. “While I’m gone, you get babysitting duties.” You scoff, you know how to control your powers, you just choose not to listen to them.
“I don’t think she needs babysitting Wong.”
“Even if she doesn’t need it, she already follows you around like a puppy already anyways.”
“Yea I’ve noticed that…” He turns to look at you with his head tilted. “You have been clinging onto me like your life depends on it haven't you? Always by my side.” He smiles a little. You were surprised he’s only just now realizing it.
I only shrug.
“Well it’s cold down here, while you’re going back and forth between portals, Y/N and I are going upstairs where it's a little warmer.” He opens a portal to the upstairs, not wanting you to slip on the stairs… again…
“Alright. You keep an eye on that girl, she’s trouble.” Wong waves a finger and you smirk so he knows you’re already up to something as you all go through a portal. 
“We are all in shock at this news today!” The lady on the TV talks and talks about everything boring as Stephen goes through some papers of research. “After this video was released from the now deceased Quentin Beck, also known as ‘Mysterio’ the entire world is shocked to see a teenage face under the famous ‘spiderman’ mask, a 17 year old Midtown high student named Peter Parker.” That’s not good.
“Oh boy.” You hear Stephen mumble behind you.
“How do you think he’s feeling about all of it” I stand up from the couch and walk towards Stephen who’s now looking at the TV as a clip from the video Mysterio recorded plays behind me.
“Well I’m sure he’s gonna find a way to make things worse. He’s on his way here right now actually.” He reaches to his right and his cape flies onto his back.
“How would you know that?”
“Y/N sweetie, I know everything.” He whispers softly into my ear, sending small butterflies through my belly as he walks past me and begins down the stairs. As I always do, I begin to follow behind him.
At the bottom of the stairs you hear a high pitched voice and Wong speaking back, and you see Stephen speaking as well. As you get halfway down the stairs, you see Peter Parker.
“The most famous person in the world, I know.” Wong enters through a portal, setting down several suitcases. “Wong.” He introduces himself quickly. “Try not to slip, we don’t have liability insurance.”
“Is all this for a holiday party?” You see Peter take a few steps forward, examining the sanctorum filled with snow and ice.
“No, one of the Rotunda gateways connects to Siberia. A blizzard blasted through.” Stephen leaves your side at the center of the staircase and floats down the steps with a coffee mug in his hands, slipping a little when he lands.
“Because someone forgot to cast the monthly maintenance spell to keep the seals tight.” He speaks as he reaches the last step.
“That’s right, he did, because he forgot I now have higher duties-”
“Higher duties?”
“The sorcerer supreme has higher duties, yes.”
“Wait, I thought you were the Sorcerer Supreme-” Peter breaks their conversation and Stephen looks back at him.
“No, he got it on a technicality cause I blipped for five years.”
“Oh.” He looks at Wong. “Well, congratulations.”
Stephen starts back up. “If I’d been here, then I would have-”
“Burned the whole place down.” Wong walks in front of Stephen. “You two! No one said ‘stop shoveling’”
“So, Peter. To what do I owe the pleasure?” Stephen begins to walk to the fireplace.
“Right umm… I’m really sorry to bother you, sir, but-”
“Please, we saved half the universe together, I think we’re beyond you calling me sir.” You started to walk down the stairs to them, smiling softly at Wong as he helped the two people shovel snow.
When you enter the room, you see Stephen lighting the fireplace with some magic.
“Okay, uh, Stephen-”
“That feels weird. But I’ll allow it.”
“Uh, when, um… when Mysterio revealed my identity, my entire life got screwed up.” You stood at the entrance, staring at the fireplace with Peters back to you as he spoke. “And, I was wondering… I mean, I don’t really know if this would actually work, but I was wondering if… maybe you could go back in time and make it so that he never did?”
“Peter, we tampered with the stability of spacetime to resurrect countless lives. You want to do it again now just cause yours got messy?”
“This isn’t- It’s not about me. I mean, this is really hurting a lot of people. My uh… my Aunt May. Happy. My best friend, my girlfriend… their futures are ruined. Just because they know me and they’ve… done… nothing… wrong…?” Peter pauses randomly as he finishes his sentence, you assume his spider sense is catching onto something so you use your own magic to summon some knives.
Suddenly, he quickly turns around and a string of white liquid shoots out at your left hand, sticking it to the table next to you.
“Y/N?!” Peter walks towards you when he realizes who it is. “Oh my God, I thought you were dead!” He gets closer and wraps his arms around you, pulling you into a tight hug.
“Yea, hey Pete.” He hugs you tighter and you use your free hand so gently hug him back.
“Have you been here the whole time?” He finally pulls away from you, both of his hands gently rest on your shoulders. “Sorry I shot a web at your hand, I guess my spider sense still recognizes you as Martyr.” You took a deep breath when he said that name. You haven’t been Martyr for a long time. Just as Bucky hasn’t been The Winter Soldier for a long time, but yet you both still have to be locked up in separate places.
“Well that’s unfortunate isn’t it Peter?” I mumble and Peter lets go of me, easily ripping the web fluid off my hand. “Good thing I’m not anymore, or I swear I wouldn’t be stuck in the sanctum right now.” Peter looks down at you confused. Then he looks up at Stephen.
“Why isn’t she allowed to leave?”
“Because she’s not completely safe yet. Last time we tried bringing her to the store so she could get something for her drawings, she lashed out on a random civilian because they accidentally ran into her backside with their shopping cart.” He sighs and looks at you. You were smiling, clearly proud of yourself. “You should’ve seen the look of fear on that poor womans face as Y/n-”
“Okay, I think you and Peter were talking about something more important before he almost attacked me, Strange.” I cut him off, not wanting to relive the embarrassing memory.
“Right, I am so sorry Peter, but even if I wanted to… I don’t have the Time Stone Anymore.” Strange drops the subject quickly and refocuses on Peter.
“That’s right.” He groans a little. “I’m really sorry if I wasted your time.”
“No, you didn’t-”
“Forget about it.” Behind you, Wong picks up his suitcases and joins the conversation again.
“Oh, he will. He’s very good at forgetting things.”
There's a pause.
“Wong, you've actually generated a good idea…”
“What?”
“The Runes of Kof-Kol?” Peter looked at Strange questionably.
“The Runes of Kof-Kol?”
“Oh, it’s just a standard spell of forgetting. It won’t turn back time, but at least people will forget that you were ever Spider-Man.”
“Seriously? That would be-” Your heart beated quickly when Peter's interest rose in Kof-Kol. You and Wong both spoke at the same time.
“No, not seriously!” Wong turns from you to Strange. “That spell travels the dark borders between known and unknown reality. It’s too dangerous.”
“We’ve used it for a lot less. Do you remember the full moon party at Kamar-Taj?”
“No…?”
“Exactly.” Strange waits for a moment before speaking again. He doesn’t even bother addressing you since you weren’t anywhere near being allowed to tell him no. “Come on. Wong… hasn’t he been through enough?”
You watch as Wong's face softens, behind him, another portal opens to Kamar-Taj. “Just leave me out of this.”
“Fine.”
“Fine.” Wong enters the portal and it closes quickly behind him. Then Strange turns to Peter and has a friendly grin on his face.
The scene in the ancient chamber plays. Strange attempts to cast the spell, Peter keeps changing it mid spell, Strange gets mad at Peter.
Upstairs, everything starts shaking and you look over as a relic falls apart when one of the apprentices tries to hold onto it for support. You quickly make your way down to make sure everything is alright.
“Did it work?” Your voice shook as you looked around and saw Strange visibly angered.
“No. He changed my spell six times-”
“Five times.” You both looked over at Peter who now looked nervous again.
“You changed my spell! You don’t do that! I told you-” He looks at the trapped spell in the centre of the room. “And that is why!” You all look towards the orb with the tiny spell inside. “That spell was completely out of control. If I hadn’t shut it down, something catastrophic could have happened!”
“Stephen, listen, I am so sorry-” "Peters voice shakes.
“Call me sir”
Everything is quiet for a moment as you watch the exchange, already developing a way to talk to Strange who you felt was being way too hard on Peter.
“Sorry, sir…” Peter mumbled.
“You know, after everything we’ve been through together, somehow I always forget you’re… you’re just a kid.” You watch as Peter looks down, clearly feeling ashamed of himself. “Look, Parker.” His tone softens. “The problem is not Mysterio. It’s you.” You shoot Strange a daring look, he knows he’s already pressing too far on Peter. “Trying to live two different lives, and the longer you do that the more dangerous it becomes, believe me.” He pauses for a moment. “I’m so sorry about you and your friends not getting into college. But if they rejected you, and you tried to convince them to reconsider, there’s nothing else you can do.” We all stand in silence for a moment and we watch as Peter's face changes slightly.
“When you say “Convince them” you mean like I could have called them?”
“Yea.”
“I can do that?”
“You haven’t called the-”
“Well I mean, I got their letter and I assumed that that was-” You finally cut in.
“I’m sorry, are you telling us that you didn’t think to call and plead your case with them first before you asked Strange to brainwash the entire world?” I asked him more calmly than Strange would have.
“Well, I mean, when you put it like that, then-.”
_____
“I can’t believe that kid. He’s fought a giant purple goblin, and he can’t think of calling a college and talking to them for reconsideration?” He speaks angrily and you follow him into his room.
“You know, I think I might be able to get into the college if I applied.” You watch as he sits on the edge of his bed. “I mean, I’m basically also twenty-three just like Peter, just a bit more complicated.”
“Complicated because you've been a runaway since you were 8, then blipped at 17?”
“Yea complicated because of that.” You put your knees on his bed and make your way behind him. “But you’re way too hard on him, you’re hard on me too.”
“Not as hard on you as I am on him though, I could never yell at you.” You sit up on your knees and place both of your hands on his shoulders, starting to gently massage his muscles.
“You’ve yelled at me plenty of times before Mr. Strange.” I whisper close to his ear and continue to massage him.
“Yes but that was before we all fought a giant grape.” He sighs a little and tilts his head slightly to the side, taking a deep breath as your hands begin to relax his muscles. “And if I can remember clearly, you used your powers to heal Stark. And you also used your powers to find Thanos.” He leans back a little against your front. “Tell me, if it wasn’t your dad who used the glove, if it was someone else like Clint or Scott, would you still have used your powers to save them?”
“Why wouldn’t I?”
“Well because when you use your Saint, you're taking the pain out of their body and putting it into your own body, and you also move their wounds from theirs to yours.”
“Well, I still would’ve Sainted them. Maybe not you though.” You giggle a little as he turns around and grabs you by the waist.
“Oh really?” You reach down to try pulling his hands off of your waist, laying back as he presses forward on top of you.
“No of course not really.” You laugh as he lays on top of you with one of his knees between your thighs. “You should consider telling Fury that it’s safe for me to leave. I know how to control my powers…”
“Yea, you do, but the second you leave the Sanctum I won’t be able to find you again unless you come to find me for something.” He moves until he's stradling your legs, one of his hands is pressed onto your lower abdomen, and his other hand rests on his thigh as he sits back on his heels.
“Well yea, I like to have my freedom.” You sigh a little as he leans down slowly and presses a gentle kiss to your forehead, making you smile softly.
“You have your freedom as long as you’re by my side.” He gently moves his hand down to the end of your shirt and slowly glides his hand carefully over your stomach. “You know.” His voice drops to a whisper as he pauses for a moment and runs his hand over your smooth skin. “You were 17 during the blip… does that make it still wrong for me to touch you? Or will you consider yourself to be twenty-two for me?” He grins as he leans down again, his lips gently brushing against your cheek and gently trailing along your jaw and neck.
“I can be twenty-two for now… If you want.” You feel your body heating up and you’re sure he could smell you.
“You smell so sweet…” He mumbles as he leans back to press kisses to your stomach and thighs.
Thanks to your powers and the way you were built, when you're turned on, people can smell your arousal no matter how heightened their senses are. One of the reasons you feel awkward around Steve and Barnes.
You could feel his tongue slowly trail wet licks between your thighs. His large hands caressing your thighs and gently moving up to grab your hips.
“You look so beautiful…” He lays one more kiss to your stomach as he leans back up and connects his lips to yours in a long kiss. You reach up to wrap your arms around the back of his neck, keeping him close as he wraps one of his arms around the back of your waist to lift your body against his.
“You know you’re really pretty too…?” You whisper softly with a quiet laugh as he chuckles and lays more kisses to your neck, making you involuntarily arch your back up to get closer to him. Now you could really feel your body heating up. Your lips part slightly as you start to breathe more heavily, and he admired your breasts move slightly as your chest moved up and down. You blush when you see him lick his bottom lip like a starved lion and you were his prey.
“Are you feeling any better? Or do I still have to wait…” You look down a little as you watch him run his hand down to where you were stabbed while fighting Thanos.
“I think I’ll be fine, just be careful if you grab my waist.” With that, he wraps both arms behind my back and moves me until we’re both lying on the bed.
“Remind me of our safeword, my rose…” He speaks softly as he begins to unbutton your blouse and skirt.
“Jumanji.”
“We really need to work on your safeword…” As soon as he finishes speaking, you feel something wrap around your wrists and you look up to see a string of his orange magic attach both of your wrists to the bed.
Fuck
He admired how you looked. Strapped down on his bed as he towered over you.
“You are so fucking perfect you know that?” He growls a little as he grinds against your thigh, his hard length making you whimper a little. 
“You don’t have to sweet talk me to turn me on you know…”
“I’m just speaking the truth.”
“That’s not the truth.” He reaches up and grabs onto your chin almost painfully and forces you to look into his eyes.
“Y/N.” His voice was daring. “You’re beautiful and if you ever start to think otherwise, I swear I’ll fuck you until you can’t even comprehend what the word ugly even means. I’ll have you screaming my name and telling me how beautiful you are then when you finally believe I’ll bend you over until you apologise for ever believing you’re not.” He stares into your eyes a moment longer before pressing a rough kiss to your lips.
You kissed for what felt like hours, and honestly you wished it had never stopped.
When he felt your legs open from under him, he couldn’t resist touching you. His hand slid down until he could feel your sensitive skin. “Fuck” He mumbled as he began to rub over your clit with his fingers, making your hips buck up in response.
“Please…” you breathe quietly as his fingers spread you lips, playing with your clit as you continue to buck against his hand, a quiet moan escaping your lips as he leans down, removes your panties, and roughly brings his tongue down to lick you from your opening to your clit. Repeating the movement two more times before diving his tongue into you, tasting your sweet hole.
“You always taste so fucking good…” He begins to lean back up your body, rubbing the bulge in his pants against your thigh before running his hand down and rubbing your clit again, teasing your entrance with one of his fingers before pushing two of his fingers into your hole. “Fucking perfect…” He curls his fingers to perfectly hit that spot inside of you that drives you wild while his thumb runs rough circles over your clit.
He began to plunge his two fingers in and out of you, causing you to moan in pleasure.
You began to moan more wildly as his movements became more urgent and you felt a familiar heat rise inside of your lower stomach.
The more you moved, the more he struggled to keep you still. He leans up a little, placing his free hand on your hip to hold you down as he adds a finger to your tight hole. “Cum for me little rose… cum on my fingers like a good girl…” His voice makes your head go foggy and your eyes flutter. You throbbed as you felt the pleasure course through you, rushing through you like a waterfall, and you whined at the feeling of his fingers leaving your hole. Making you lay there in breathy moans.
You watch as he brings his finger up to his lips and licks your arousal off his fingers, then he leans his face over yours, pressing a gently kiss to your temple, then pulling back and resting his hand over your throat before pressing down with his weight onto your throat, making you gasp. “Open.” He demands.
As you open your mouth, he leans down and presses a gentle kiss to your bottom lip, then leans back to spit into your mouth, moving a little with one of his hands still circling your throat and his other hand gently resting on your waist. “Swallow.”
And you did.
As much as you hated it when people saw you as vulnerable and weak, you swallow his spit. “Good girl..” He growls as he finally positions himself between your legs and you whine as you feel the tip of his cock against your hole, before slowly pushing himself inside of you. Stay quiet, he doesn’t like it when you’re loud during the day.
“Stay quiet…” He growls quietly into your ear before beginning to slowly move inside of you, easily brushing himself against your G-spot everytime he moves, making you arch your back off the bed, begging for more movement as you moan quietly.
“Shhh… M’not goin n’y faster n’til I know y’can take me slow…” He mumbles, continuing to move slowly inside of you, being careful not to grip your waist where you had been hurt.
After you stayed quiet for a few moments, he began to move more quickly, pulling out before slamming back into you.
“Fuck you’re so perfect…” He gently grabbed onto your hip with one hand, and squeezed your throat tighten with his other hand, making your moans become more desperate.
Suddenly you feel warm, and your body starts to shake as you feel yourself come close to another orgasm.
“Fuck, rosey, you feel so good… cum on my cock…” He squeezes your throat tighter, making you gasp a little for air. “Fuck, please tell me you’re still on birth control…” He leans up a little, releasing your throat and pressing both of his hands flat onto your waist, causing a wave of pain to shoot through your body as he accidentally presses his palm onto your wound, but it quickly numbs as it’s mixed with the next orgasm that tears through your body and you feel a warm liquid fill my hole as he carefully pulls out.
“Fuck I’m sorry if that hurt…” He gently runs his hand over the large bandage covering your wound.
“M’ okay…” You mumble. “M’ okay…”
“Okay.” He leans forward and presses a gentle kiss to your forehead, then he stands up off the bed and walks into the bathroom, coming back out with a warm towel.
With the wave of his hand, the magic that was restraining your wrists disappears and he kneels next to you on the bed, gently cleaning both of your liquids off your thighs.
“You know, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to let you go Y/N” He finishes cleaning the mess and watches as you sit up.
“I don’t mind never leaving…” You mumble. He leans forward and presses a gentle kiss on your lips, you smile and kiss him back.
“I love you, rose bud…”
“Love you too…”

Thoughts on Batman and Robin 1997 (with Rifftrax) after all these years
It's a comedy, I'll get that out of the way so that I don't sound like an angry fan raging against puns on principle. Good? Good.
1966 Batman puts this in a bit more context, since that's the clear model. But Batman 66, at least in it's best episodes, did have funny jokes! This really doesn't!
I want to say the problem is that they're trying to combine Batman 66 and the Animated Series and that doesn't work, but another work did pull it off perfectly- Batman the Brave and the Bold, one of my favorite cartoons ever. I guess it helped that they had Paul Dini, the heart of the Animated Series.
Joel Schumacher has deservedly become a bit of a punchline, but he did make some good movies- The Lost Boys is one of my all time favorites. This did not have to be so bad.
I have to imagine this finished product did not look like anybody's goal. It feels like so many independent bad ideas alongside each other.
They probably cast Arnold to play Freeze because the guy in Batman 66 had a German accent. Still, I keep thinking "Why isn't he Bane?" because that would have been the obvious cast- not necessarily good, but obvious. Did someone leave all Bane's lines on the cutting room floor and they had to give their big star the role with dialogue?
Poor Uma, doing a self-conscious Mae West impression. I bet she could have been a perfectly fine Poison Ivy.
Even for a comedy, I really don't get why Poison Ivy wants to blanket the world in ice. Won't that kill all the plants? And if her ultimate plan is to repopulate the earth with flesh eating plants, what the hell flesh will there be for them to eat? That's some Thanos-level environmental planning.
They're clearly trying to replicate Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman with Poison Ivy, going from a nerd to a bad girl. While that part of Batman Returns is a bit 90s pop feminism- why would getting thrown off a building make you a sexy jewel thief, and why would she be snooty towards mugging victims?- I genuinely believed that anger had been in her all along. Ivy has one scene as a nerd and then a totally new personality.
If Batman didn't have a girlfriend I wouldn't think anything of it, but him having one who only shows up for one public scene and one private one where he ignores her makes her look like a professional beard.
I remember when Hush was coming out and we were all super excited to find out Ivy's pheremones also worked on women. In retrospect, it's nuts that was ever in question. Why wouldn't all those beauty queens in the auction scene also go nuts over her?
Doesn't the guy who makes her Poison Ivy end up in the New Guardians and fight Snowflame? It feels like that should be in this particular movie.
The nipples on the Batsuit are, in fact, incredibly distracting.
Grant Morrison pointed out how weird it is that Alfred would have designed and made a form-fitting leather and rubber suit for his own niece and yeah, that is weird.
God bless Alfred, the only person trying to act.
To be continued...

Tumblr media
You moved uncomfortably; you knew that everything Steve was saying on TV was a lie, but after fixing all the chaos that Thanos had caused, he changed. Or maybe not, and he had always been like that; he just knew very well how to act. After so many years, he knew how to pretend he was a victim.
" 'Cause that shit's embarrassing," Steve said in the interview.
"Maybe you shouldn't watch that; I don't want you to be sad," he said as he turned off the TV and put the cupcake on the coffee table.
"It's okay; I'm fine, really," you assured him, looking him in the eyes.
"Y/N."
It had been several months since you had thought about him, and now you were happy.
"When I'm away from you, Steve, I'm happier than ever", you thought. Last week, you enjoyed activities you hadn't done for a long time.
Nevertheless, you began to think about what had happened while you were with Steve as you picked up the cupcake to eat it.
Tumblr media
Steve was not answering the communicator; you were worried that maybe something had happened to him and he needed reinforcements, or maybe...
You shook your head to get rid of those ideas. A few seconds later, Steve appeared. He wasn't hurt, although he looked very upset.
"You scared me to death," you said, approaching. Steve didn't even look at you; he just continued on his way.
Tumblr media
"I trust you. I just don't trust them," Steve said when you informed him that you would have a mission with friends who also worked in the Organization.
In the end, you asked to change teams; you had argued with Steve about it.
Tumblr media
"Are you all right? "he asked.
"Yes, I was just thinking," you answered.
"You can tell me anything; you know that.
"I wish I could explain it better," even though you had already told him what happened plus what was obvious that most people had seen.
"Take your time; you can say anything you want."
"I wish it wasn't true and that it had never happened, that it was all a dream. Every day was horrible, and I'd end up more afraid."
You went on talking for a couple of hours.
Tumblr media
Finally, you had decided on your old apartment: you were going to rent it. You had only gone to get some things you had forgotten. You were startled when you heard the front door close. No one but you had the keys, but suddenly you remembered that Steve had never given them back to you.
You peeked out, and Steve was standing there; maybe he had been spying on you all this time, and that's why you had had that strange feeling during the week.
"Y/N, long time no see," Steve greeted you, and you swallowed saliva.
"Steve, what are you doing here?" You said, trying not to be obvious, that you were looking for your cell phone.
"Are you looking for this?" Steve showed you the cell phone.
"What do you want?" You replied.
"Talk; I never knew why you left the house," he replied. "Don't say it isn't fair."
"You clearly weren't aware that you made me miserable."
"Please, I'm the best thing that ever happened to you in your whole life; you didn't appreciate it."
"And all that you did was make me fucking sad."
"Come on, Y/N, stop playing the victim; I think I at least need an explanation."
"I always said you were misunderstood just because of who you were before the serum, but that doesn't mean you're really a good person."
"Oh, come on, are you serious? You'd do the opposite of what you said you'd do."
"So, if you really wanna know the reasons why I left you, you should reflect on everything that happened and what you did."
"Are you saying it was my fault you ran off with who knows who?" Steve said.
"No, what I'm saying is that it was a long time ago that I didn't love you anymore because of the way you treated me. 'Cause I'd never treat me this way, you know, I deserve a hell of a lot better," you replied.
"No, Y/N, you have to admit that it wasn't my fault that we broke up; it was your friends', 'cause you only listen to your fucking friends."
"That's a lie, Steve; you were the one who was trying to keep me away from everyone, but I'm wasting my breath."
"You're lying; besides, I doubt anyone would want to go out with you; everyone believes me and knows who you are and everything you did."
"I never told anyone anything bad about you; I just told the truth to those who asked me," "you said.
"Stop lying; you always liked to draw attention to yourself."
"And I don't talk shit about you!" You ruined everything. There were so many things I loved to do, and you made me hate them. "You were having a hard time staying calm, and again, the fear of him was coming back". You were my everything."
"I still am, but you don't want to accept it; come on, Y/N, if you behave yourself, everything will be as it should be."
"And don't try to make me feel bad."
"I'm just saying you should consider things," Steve said with a smirk on his face.
"You made all my moments your own; you know the plans always worked; I was the one making the plans, and you took all the credit; why do you think your last few missions have failed?"
"You need me."
"So don't waste the time I don't have; please go away," you asked. "I don't relate to you."
Steve laughed. "Why do you keep playing the victim? You're the one who left me."
"Just fucking leave me alone."
"Rogers, you better leave; Y/N has been very clear; she doesn't love you, and she doesn't want to be with you." You heard a male voice behind Steve, and you smiled when you saw him.
"Don't get in the way, Rumlow," Steve replied.
"What are you going to do? Are you going to threaten me? Because it's not going to work with me, you'd better leave. Anyway, I'll inform S.H.I.E.L.D. what happened," Brock threatened firmly.
Steve gave him a hateful look before leaving the apartment.
"Are you all right? I think I arrived in time. "
"Better than ever, I finally got to tell him everything I wanted to. I don't love Steve Rogers anymore; he may still think he's the best person in the world, but one day the truth will come out."
"Do you still want to go to the movies?"
"Sure, I've been waiting for months for the movie to come out; I wouldn't miss it for the world."
You took the car keys, and after the movie, you would tell Brock that if you had agreed to both of them being transferred to another S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters in another country, you would start over from scratch and start a new life together. Now you're happy.

Fast X is................ surprisingly not terrible
I watched Fast X this weekend, with a lot of apprehension. I am a fan of this franchise overall, having enjoyed almost all the movies to some extent or another, be it as a B movie guilty pleasure, point break rip off, or balls to walls bananas action movie. From Fast Five to Furious 7 is where the series peaked in my opinion. I think they managed to blend action, humor, and surprising amounts of heart. Since Paul Walker's demise though, the series has lot some of that heart. I think tilting far too much into Dom as a messiah of sorts who can pull of ridiculous superheroics. The Fate of the Furious was meh, but still had Johnson and Statham who provided a lot of the movie's best scenes. F9 is where the series came off the rails for me. I couldn't even enjoy it on a guilty pleasure level. So I was apprehensive about this film, but it turned out to be....... not bad.
Lets be clear, this isn't a good film. It isn't even really a complete film. Its either half a story or a third of a story, depending on whether this becomes a trilogy or not. But it tones down the action from jump the shark stuff of F9 to more palatable bonkers stuff from the previous 4 films. There is ridiculous mayhem in this movie, but not unpalatably so. The thing is that it is only part of a story. It isn't like Infinity War, which felt like a conclusive end to Thanos' mission. I genuinely feels abruptly cut on a big cliffhanger. There are like 4 separate story tracks that are happening simultaneously and there are cameos thrown in left, right, and center. Statham shows up for an abrupt action scene and then leaves, Helen Mirren shows up for one scene, Brie Larson has like 4 scenes total, Charlize Theron has like 3-4 scenes total. On top of that we have Alan Ritchson who joins the mix, with a returning cameo from Scott Eastwood. Jordana Brewster has like 1-2 scenes, and we also have Elena's sister inexplicably. So it is overwhelming and exhausting to keep track of all these characters, with the main cast also getting reduced screen time as a result. But the action sequences are great. I never got bored of the movie, which did happen with F9. And on top of that is Jason Momoa, who is the lifeblood of this film. He clearly knows the film he's in and he's playing to the gallery completely and he adds an additional boost of energy to the film. Thankfully, he has a fair amount of screen time and also has some genuine menace, beneath the theatrics. I'll be honest, at this point, Dom is probably my least favorite character. Vin Diesel plays him a bit too self-seriously and mumbles through his dialogue. He's better here than he was in the last 2 films, but he also has less screen time comparatively, due to the split focus. John Cena is surprisingly good here, this time wisely playing to his strengths. He is much more palatable as uncle goofball, who is a badass, then as the vengeful villain he was in the previous movie. The scenes with him and little B are pretty fun. They seemingly kill him off, but I hope he is alive. Given how Han and Giselle are inexplicably alive, I wouldn't it past Mr. Nobody to come out of nowhere and having saved him. The track with Han, Roman, Tej, and Ramsey kind of flounders around a bit because it literally only consists of them bickering and trying to get to a location. The stuff with Letty and Cipher is fairly fun. The fight scene between the two of them is a highlight of the movie.
Anyways, the performances are all on par. All the returning cast members know their individual roles quite well. Jason Momoa is a clear standout in the cast. Seeing Charlize Theron kick some ass in her brief role is pretty great. I do think this film overall raised my enthusiasm for the next film, but it is an overwhelming watch. It is definitely not going to convert anyone to a fan, but if anyone likes these movies, they will continue to enjoy this one. The mid credit scene, signaling Hobbs' return is pretty cool. Louis Letterier does a solid job with the action. A 6/10.
