MARIA HILL IN WHAT IF HAPPY HOGAN SAVES CHRISTMAS WHAT IF .. S2 (mostly) SLAYS!!
spoilers for What If Happy Hogan Saves Christmas
Tumblr media
Die Hard-esque ✅ 
Snowman pin ✅ 
Snark about Stark ✅ 
HAMMER MEETS HILL!! ✅ 
A little Hill action (before she gets sidelined female character treatment) ✅ 
DARCY AND HILL ✅  (we could have more of them if Marvel wasn't the worst)
Maria Hill goes from broken leg to walking on it just fine ✅ (I assume she pulled the glass out of her leg herself??)
I know Maria had to get hurt for Happy to save Christmas but could she have had a little more action please? PLEASE? EVEN IN THE CARTOON CAN SHE NOT BE SIDELINED and be more useful / helpful? It was still probably the most of her we ever got to see doing something
Anyways a HIll/Hammer run in is something I have always wanted tbh I was not disappointed just wish there was more! My favorite line of the whole show came from their interaction and you will know it when you hear it it was A+ Hill level snark.
it was silly and funny and wild and Natasha is in a ballet costume so ya know what just expect it to be fun and it won't disappoint in that way but it will be a little sad when Hill is like "my leg is broken" and is then like walking around helping Happy and Darcy with JARVIS lol or maybe she has the highest pain tolerance in the world.
Pretty sure MCU saw that fan freak out/rage after they killed her off and were like okay maybe we should give her more to do like people have been asking for for twelve years!

my favorite parts of She Hulk ep 1:
"captain america was a virgin" *car crash*
girls at the bar willing to kill for Jennifer despite not knowing her at all
reference to Natasha
Tony and Bruce being best buddies ;)
Bruce and Jennifer having a pretty realistic familial relationship, not just "I love you, cousin :)"
Titania's character design

So I watched the Haunted Mansion trailer and
Tumblr media
Just like I feared. The ghosts are evil and murderous instead of just scaring for fun and forever resting in peace with parties every night and must be cast away and fought as if they were there for a curse because it is the EASY way too attract a mainstream kind of audience instead of counting on the fans, their (THEIR) mansion must be freed for dumb humans to live there because it's ONCE AGAIN an estate plot, the humans we don't give a shit about are the main focus and appear more than the ghosts in the trailer despite how we have oh I don't know 999 potential characters to have as main characters instead, and again Disney wants us to forget Emily ever existed and just wants to impose Constance everywhere and tries to have her be the MAIIN EEEEVUUUL instead of just one ghost whose gimmick is to be the ghost of a wedding-themed black widow
The ONE good thing is how Hattie looks. I had my fears, but he looks cool and faithful to his ride self. I hope Jared Leto won't ruin the role, but since the ghosts are apparently the villains he will unfortunately probably be too
Tumblr media
God fucking dammit Disney why don't you know your own ride
WHY DID YOU LET US DOWN GUILLERMO DEL TORO

BLACK WINDOW SPOILERS
I feel like that's wrong?
Tumblr media

Just saw Thor: Love and Thunder and I LOVED it, but:
SPOILERS BELOW
I came out of the cinema feeling really annoyed by Jane’s death and seeing another female character fridged. Then the more I thought about it the more I realised this is a constant plot device in the MCU.
What is ‘fridging’?
“Trope whereby female characters are affected by injury, raped, killed, or depowered (an event colloquially known as fridging), sometimes to stimulate "protective" traits, and often as a plot device intended to move a male character's story arc forward.” (Wikipedia, Women in Refrigerators.)
Who has the MCU fridged?
1. Frigga (Thor’s mother, Thor: the Dark World).
2. Maria Stark (Tony Stark’s Mother, Captain America: Civil War) *note: Tony’s father is also killed.
3. The Ancient One (Doctor Strange’s mentor, Doctor Strange).
4. Gamora (Peter Quill’s love interest, Avengers: Infinity War).
5. Natasha Romanoff (Avengers team member, Avengers: End Game).
6. Ajak (Eternals team member, The Eternals).
7. May Parker (Peter Parker’s aunt, Spider Man: No Way Home).
8. Hope Van Dyme (Scott Lang’s love interest, Ant Man and the Wasp). *note a male coworker is also killed too but Scott Lang’s character is affected by the female death (as seen in endgame).
9. Maya Hansen (Tony Stark’s ex, Iron Man 3).
10. Meredith Quill (Peter Quill’s mother, Guardians of the Galaxy).
11. Laura Barton (Hawkeye’s wife, Avengers: Endgame).
12. Peggy Carter (Captain America’s love interest, Captain America: Civil War).
13. Wanda Maximoff (Avengers Team Member turned Enemy, Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness).
14. Jane Foster (Thor’s love interest, Thor: Love and Thunder).
Notable Exception:
1. Hela (Thor’s sister, Thor: Ragnorak). Her death isn’t an example of fridging as she is a villain who happens to be female, like all other villains in the MCU her purpose is to be defeated by the hero.
I’d just really like to see the MCU use a different plot device for a change. This one is predictable and annoying.

So my little sister has finally begun getting me to watch all the MCU stuff that's come out since Endgame. I was always there at every release before, but this never ending Panini sapped a lot of my strength and desire :(
Now not all is lost, I've finally begun my journey (technically started on the 4th) and have watched all listed:
Wandavision: I kinda liked it, even though I'm not one for sitcoms I absolutely l o v e d how they used it to help tell Wanda's story. I'm still not the biggest fan of their pairing, but it's a tale of grief that was done extremely well and it's a good 8/10
The Falcon and the Winter Solider: I unfortunately didn't find this one as good as Wandavision :(
I liked it don't get me wrong, and I absolutely loved how they showed Bucky and his now freedom from the next fight/brainwashing over the last 70 years. Sam was absolutely crushing it, and his outfit at the end???
Fucking 👏 awesome 👏
It kind of lost steam in the middle, and the climax kind of felt a little overachieving for me, if that makes sense. Did love the dialogue between the two and Artem, absolutely hilarious and I like that even he gets a sort of arc/is able to explain his side of what he did to them. 7.5/10, will definitely watch it again without fireworks interrupting me lol.
Loki: 👀🤌👀🤌👀🤌
Definitely my favorite one so far 😍
If you know me that is 0% surprising, but I've missed my little shit of a Norse god so much and to see him again??? 🤌
The chewing of the scenery, the smarmy attitude, the way he grows after finding out what would have happened to him, and how he finally admits he wants to help people, I l o v e it so much.
I cannot wait to see season 2, I was 100% invested and that ending had me practically screaming at the screen AAAAAAAAAA
I will say, my only issue is the whole Sylvie thing, I am.....not sure what to think <:/
Overall 9.5/10, bring me more Gator!Loki 👏
Black Widow: Oh my girl needs a hug :(
This movie really needed to be shown before Endgame, the fact you see her find one family and go to fix her other one is just 🤌
I dont have much to really say, I liked it and the comedy is kind of what I want in MCU movies, there but not way the hell overwhelming like Ragnorok
Overall 9/10 🫂
What If?: I liked it :D
Not much to say, I liked most of the episodes despite some being dark as hell, and I laughed at Frat boy Thor more than I probably should have 🤣
Can't wait to see, or at least I think I will, see Strange Supreme, and Peggy was 🤌
9/10 :)
I'll go more in detail with each once I watch them a few times over, but so far I'm liking them all and can't wait to see Shang-Chi (?) next time :)

It’s 3am and I’m bored so here’s a random (mostly Marvel)
✨Movie Ratings✨
I don’t think I’ll be spoiling anything but idk so read with caution.
Let’s start with the Marvel movies, shall we?
Tumblr media
Black Widow
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5 stars)
I honestly can’t think of anything I don’t like about this movie. Literally nothing. I just wish it came out before she… you know…
Tumblr media
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5 stars)
Loved this movie so much. The only complaint I can think of is that the actress who played Xialing could have delivered the lines better, but that’s honestly just a nitpick and a me problem.
Tumblr media
Spider-Man: No Way Home
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5 stars)
Again, loved this movie. Absolutely no complaints. Perfection.
Tumblr media
Eternals
⭐️⭐️ (2 stars)
Okay listen. It’s not the worst movie I’ve ever seen, and there were some good things, so let’s talk about those things first.
I loved the costumes, they were beautiful and added to the characters very well.
Acting was perfectly fine, no complaints there.
CGI and basically all visual details were great as always. A little too dark in some scenes, but that might just be me.
Those were all pretty good things, however, the pacing, character development, and overall storytelling were not great imo. Flashbacks felt out of place, I didn’t relate or feel connected to any of the characters, and I really didn’t think the comedic relief stuff about a documentary was funny. I also didn’t like how quickly it was revealed to Sersi about the eternals true origins.
I was very excited for this movie too after watching Black Widow and Shang-Chi, but I sat in the theater for 2 hours bored and confused.
Tumblr media
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4 starts)
Honestly it’s more like 4.5, but idk how to do that with emoji’s so… anyways
Loved this movie, and as much I hated seeing Wanda as the villain, god did she do it well. She can do no wrong and she deserves the world, whatever world she wants, let her have it.
My only complaints are that I could tell some scenes had to be cut down or cut out, it felt like they wanted to make this movie longer than it was, and they honestly should have because I think everyone would have enjoyed it. And I felt like America could of had better character development.
Alright, that’s it for Marvel, let’s move on.
Tumblr media
Everything Everywhere All at Once
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5 stars)
Oh. My. God. This movie was fantastic. This is the best movie I’ve seen in a while. It was hilarious and truly mind blowing. Not overrated at all, it deserves all the praise it’s been getting.
Tumblr media
Belle
⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3 stars)
Best part about this movie was the music, which I think is what really brought this rating to 3 stars, but that’s all I can give it. Of course visually it’s beautiful as well, but I just think the story had too much going on, and it didn’t develop the online world as much as I would have liked it too.
This isn’t a rewrite, but I think this movie would have been better if they got rid of the drama in the real world, and focused on how the main character uses the online world as a way to sing again after her trama, which I think would have blended into the Beauty and the Beast story much better. Get rid of everything else.
I also wish that there was a romance plot between Belle and the Beast, instead of the Beast ending up being a kid. Which was weird cause I definitely felt like there was still something between them.
Overall, not bad but I probably won’t be watching this movie again.
Tumblr media
That was honestly kinda fun, should I do this with more movies? Maybe the Marvel shows? Let me know…

WARNING ⚠️ 2: SPOILERS AHEAD(MAKE SURE YOU ARE UP TO DATE WITH ALL THE RECENT PROJECTS).
I really do not like the fact that so many people are pretending that She-Hulk ended on a good note. It started off good and fun and interesting with its own unique aesthetic and then the writers gave us the finger by not trying anymore at "the end". Then they played the "not trying hard enough because of budget" as writing humor to excuse themselves for not giving a fuck. It's just so funny how all the budget suddenly goes away when it's about super heroines. Like there's always an excuse for not giving it their all when it comes to Marvel heroines. Or something always goes wrong in the Marvelverse/fandom when it comes to Marvel heroines.
Like with the She-hulk show it's just that they(the writers/producers)gave up towards the end. But also, why did they make her say "oh yeah I'm not into dating" just to have her mope about not being able to land a good one during the rest of the show. Like why??(Good for her that she landed Daredevil but I could care less about them. Personally, I don't think he's gonna stay there for long so this seemed like an awful choice for her either way). Regardless, it's mostly the reliance of satire and humor that pissed me off.
Peggy continuously gets embarrassed in her own show even though the writers have power over this. And she got so brutally killed in an alternative universe. Like WHY was THAT necessary? Couldn't even let her last as long a Captain America. No, because I bet that if it was Captain America in that fight it would have been longer, regardless of the fact that it was Steve vs Chaos Magic. The most important she's ever been in the MCU is as a LOVE interest. Like that's how her legacy focused on in the legacy clip from Disney plus. And it ended with her dancing with Steve! -_- I am not amused.
Captain Marvel hype was reduced because of misogynistic angry men and her movie was review bombed. And now Brie Larson herself is unsure if she's going to keep the role because of all the ANGRY man babies that have been harassing her and Marvel to fire her(the fact that's she's unsure means Marvel is considering firing her because of miso boys and I really wanna fuck them up for this).
Valkyrie was introduced as a drunk slaver. Does no one else feel uncomfortable that they chose to go this route and then not address it at all? Especially given the history of this country? She was also not given more background screentime on her FEMALE lover, like?? They also gave her masculine traits in the latest Thor Movie because for some reason you're not a boss bitch if you don't have "masculine traits"(*inserts sarcasm*)
Lady Thor was- Oh yeah, sorry. MIGHTY Thor. Because there's just something sooo awful about being a LADY(girl,)*sarcasm*. Anyways, she was ALSO a love interest and her ascension was handled in the wackiest most comical way possible. I'm not even going to get into how "Thor: Dark World" could have been the perfect movie to foreshadow her worthiness giving that she LITERALLY consumed a fucking INFINITY STONE. But, oh yeah. They were NEVER going to do THAT because the world was EVEN more sexist back then and women couldn't be heroes. That's why they had to make it All Thor's doing that she gets her powers. Oh and she's ALSO NOW dead. (Regardless of the fact that this happens in the comics they had the power to go a different route just like they have always done).
Natasha(first MCU heroine)was killed right after she was used as a fanservice boob trampoline for male characters (and fans) for a man. Girly didn't even get no funeral in the movie she died in. They just threw a bench and moved on. It wasn't JUST Iron Man that saved the world. She also gave her life for the universe.
In "Ant Man and the Wasp" Scott Lang(the man) still had WAY more screen time. This movie was supposed to be about them BOTH. Yet somehow the screentime was not equally divided AT ALL.
Gamora was used as Thanos(her literal genocidal-groomer/abuser) bait and her death was glamorized into a "feeling for Thanos" moment within the universe and in the fandom.
Mantis was reduced to a joke during the entire franchise despite her power. Also sad the the first Asian superheroine cast in the MCU was presented as, they made her call herself (or they called her), "a bug/pet". Because like WTF? They also made Drac say that she was ugly and disgusting. AGAIN, WHY was THAT necessary??!!
Kate Bishop was reduced to only being a fan girl. And her darker aspects weren't as highlighted. (They were highlighted but not as much as I would have liked. Most of time her character came off a bit satirical. They were trying to turn her into Yelena; but for some reason it just didn't work with Kate).
Ms Marvel was fun but was given an unnecessary male harem. Because why? I'm glad it wasn't the drive; but at the same time it lacked more. This show had so much potential and it also focused on the most satirical aspects of it. (Don't be get me wrong I still like it but it had potential to be SOO much more).
I know y'all are already over America Chavez cause of the actress and all(she's cute and nice and whatever);but can we please not stop addressing the fact that this role belonged to an afro-latina and NOT an indigenous latina?
Photon could've gotten her own series or movie but they chose to give her powers by making her receive them from a white women's magic. Like isn't she suppose to be as strong as Captain Marvel? Space magic/extra dimensional energy. It was exposure to space chemicals/magic. Why couldn't the next step for her be having a solo project or her learning to use her powers and NOT be a supporting character for another white female project? Why!?
Wanda got the most basic villain origin story they could possibly give a women. "She was mother". Couldn't they do something more iconic like "Oh no! The mind stone gave her dark/chaos magic a mind of its own and now her powers are overtaking her in a time of grieving". But nope. Marvel went like: "When women are grieving and they have power, they become emotional chaotic monsters." Someone's been watching game of thrones *rolls eyes and grieves for Daenerys*. Now we don't even know if they will redeem her.
Iron heart is cool by why not wait to present her? There's been so many Iron Man now and there's more to come. Because of this, the concept of the iron suit is starting to become boring and overused. But I honestly feel like they knew this and THUS why they chose to go this route. It seemed like a lazy compensation for white washing America Chavez.
Shuri was honestly the most badass; but now she's(Letitia) also getting hate mobbed by the same sickos that hate mobbed Brie Larson. JUST because they didn't recast Tchalla and they gave the Black Panther mantle to a women. We don't even know how long she's going to be BP because that role will be taken from her(little Tchalla age up) just as they took away the fact that she was presented as a character smarter than Tony Stark. Now they had her say she learned everything from a man, and they made a man king to not piss off the males that were angry about Letitia taking the throne and black panther mantle(that they are also going to take away BTW).
I'm sorry; but I am pissed and been pissed at all these decisions Marvel has been making when it comes to the heroines. I AM hopeful for the future(and this is only because of the Christmas special when they gave Mantis a little bit more relevance and personality. And well there's also the future upcoming projects);
BUT just--it's been one hell of a wacky ride. I will try to remain positive given the upcoming projects; but it has been really frustrating to me how the fandom doesn't address the misogyny (and misogynoir). Not addressing it is only going to leave things as they are and we will not see Improvements. I'm just tired. I love my marvel heroines and I don't want them to be treated a jokes, to be treated with subtle racism, to have their projects not taken seriously, and to just be mistreated in general by the creators and male fanbase. We need to address when they fuck up. I know many people are scared and pretend to like some projects because they think negative feedback is going to make them say "FINE! No more heroines it is"!. Ladies(and good People), I promise you, Disney is too greedy to lose their female audience. So THAT will never happen; but you know what will keep happening? Disrespect. That will only keep happening if you gas up the writers and creators for doing the BARE minimum as they keep disrespecting our girls. And I am NOT for THAT.

Spoilers for the new movie!!!
Tumblr media
You died.. I'm sorry I couldn't save you
Miles Morales (1610) x male reader
Miles Morales(42) x male reader
✧☆✧☆✧☆✧☆✧☆✧☆✧☆✧☆✧☆✧☆✧☆✧☆✧
2 people come down from the pillar both still in the dark making their figures hard to see the only visible thing from them is a silhouette and the purple and white outlines of something that's supposed to be eyes and a mask? The one with the purple mask is obviously a bit taller than the one with..spiderman like eyes both of them walk closer you can see the symbols on both of their chests a symbol seemingly so familiar yet so hard to explain the one with a purple one is hard to explain but the one with white spiderman eyes symbol is easy to explain well at least for anyone who knows spiderman.. the man with a purple mask speaks, because of the voice changer it's hard to understand then the one with the spiderman eyes and a half gas mask repeats what he said also not understandable because of a voice changer "what?" Miles asks not understanding the more he looks at the mask the more he sees the Prowler's eyes, his mask, the one his uncle wore.. "Your father" he spoke up the one in a half gas mask and spider man eyes keep quiet the news on the tv cannot be heard as well as uncle Aaron "What?" Miles asked again "Your father,you said he's still alive" he said saying it cold but with a small hit of.. no one can really explain it.. "Yeah.." Miles answers back now understanding the question "Huh." "Who are you?" His robotic mask falls away gracefully and in the dark the one still in the dark steps up closer to the gas mask slips off and the spiderman goggles he puts away to rest on his head and it's him?! "I’m Miles Morales. But you... you can call me the Prowler." His own version introduces himself and then Y/n.. the one who died in his universe.. "And I'm Y/n but, you call me Black Widow. " His spider senses goes off at Y/n's reveal and he panics(not knowing Y/n's spider senses came off at the same time as his as well) "I need to be home. Our dad is going to die-" " Your dad." He's cut off by himself or well the Prowler "Not his dad, your dad." His dead boyfriend corrects him as well "please.. you have to let me go.." he says but not in a please or begging tone but in an dominant yet small tone "Why would I do that?" His counterpart answers a stare off that happens between the both of them and then Y/n kicks the bag causing him to swing both of the Miles not expecting it
"Y/n what was that?" Y/n turns around to Miles(1610) and whispers to him " don't let him see the hands, make him watch the mouth. " He puts on the goggles again and gas mask before jumping out the window.
He wants to think of anything right now but he can only wonder.. if he wasn't spiderman could you have been alive with him .. if he wasn't spiderman would you have stayed and wouldn't have failed saving you cause you wouldn't need to be saved.. if he wasn't spiderman would you be alive.. his hands glow a bit as he holds on to the chain
___
I don't know if I made his understandable but Y/n saw what miles was doing

Hey! I just saw the new spiderman movie (across the spider verse) and had an epiphany. (First of all, did you see the movie? I don't want to give you spoilers or something like that, if not, you can ignore my request)
A spider-woman reader who gets lost in the multiverse and somehow makes it to RoR's, maybe platonic yandere reactions because of how young she is and what she has to go through? (because of the canon and all that)
Maybe a bonus of Miguel O'hara going to look for her so as not to alter her canon and seeing a group of supreme beings on the way? (God that man is wild)
With the gods being Odin, Hades and Poseidon and on the human side Adam, Qin Shi Huang and Tesla.
-You wandered around, curious as to where you were, after your watch malfunctioned when you were trying to run from Miguel. You were trying to help Miles who just wanted to save his dad.
-You remember when your own dad was killed, something Miguel said was a ‘canon event’, but you felt like you could have prevented it, you could have saved your dad, and now you were giving another fellow teenager a chance to save his own dad.
-Those who defended Miles were ordered to be captured to be grounded to prevent any more canon events from happening according to plan, to prevent the multi-verse from being destroyed.
-You were one teenager verses an army of other spider heroes, so of course you ran, scared, and when you tried to go back to your own dimension, someone managed to take a swipe at you, making your watch malfunction and you wound up here and your watch broke right afterwards.
-There were so many weird people around, people that didn’t look human, so you thought that you didn’t stand out much, wearing your own spider suit, a black bodysuit with red web designs, and a red pleated mini skirt with an oversized bow tied to the back of it and a black widow symbol on your chest and your back.
-Brunnhilde ran to find you after reports came to find you and found you with Shiva who instantly like you as you were sparkly eyed- or sparkly masked, “You’re so cool Mr. Shiva!” you had never met anyone with four arms before and he was instantly taken by you, easily able to tell that you were a teenager.
-Brunnhilde brough you before the other gods and powerful warriors from history, you only recognized a few names, like Adam and Nikola Tesla as far as humans went, but you knew a lot of gods, as you were a history buff.
-You unmasked, pulling it off and jaws dropped, seeing you really were just a teenager and you told them about what led you to being here, something Odin was able to tell was the truth, as well as the broken watch.
-Your eyes were huge; meeting Nikola Tesla himself, and he was thrown off by your elation before you started to ask him questions about his inventions, and he instantly beamed and the two of you hit it off quickly. He had never met someone so into science that wasn’t a scientist, and after you told them about your own powers, showing them by shooting webs and able to scale walls after being bitten by a radioactive black widow spider, he was elated, wanting to know as much as possible!!
-Nikola pulled your watch apart, trying to figure out how it worked but it was very advanced.
-Adam was instantly your parent in this new world, as he was furious that you were out fighting crime and putting yourself in danger, furious that a child was being forced to do this, after you told them about canon events, as most of the different Spider-Men gained their powers as teenagers.
-You found yourself quickly adopted by many different people in this new world, getting a massive family almost instantly, which was nice, since you only ever had your dad, and since he died, you lived mainly at HQ and only going to your dimension for school and to fight the bad guys in your dimension.
-Since you couldn’t leave, you were welcomed into this world, and since there were no villains, you got to live as a normal teenager, learning about figures of history directly as well as learning from gods.
-Poseidon was one that took a little longer to warm up to you, as he didn’t really want to bother with you, until Hades brought you over and your eyes were huge and sparkly, wanting to know more about the oceans as humans weren’t going very fast with their exploration of it.
-Hades sent him a small glare when Poseidon tried to wave you off and spoke rudely at first, but seeing your drive to learn more made him realize that not all humans were bad, a few, like you and Kojiro were proof of that.
-Hades adored you, as you dropped in, literally, wanting to ask him all sorts of questions from the lore you learned in school and he was happy to get away from his paperwork and was able to tell you all about the truths being many of the legends, some were true, and some had more embellishments added in.
-Odin was the god you spent the most time with, as you lived in the Norse pantheon with the valkyries, so you got to see him, Loki, and Thor all the time, although Odin learned quickly that Loki was a bad influence on you, as he would encourage you to get up to mischief with him but seeing you happy was nice here and there.
-When you first met Qin Shi Huang, your eyes nearly popped out of your head, realizing that he was a bona-fide emperor!! You asked him so many questions, a lot like a curious child and he was quick to realize how smart you were, and he loved watching you use your abilities, even taking him flying with you once, showing the strength in your webs. It was his turn to be sparkly-eyed when you showed him your fangs, your upper canines that grew just a bit when you were first bitten, and you told him that you could paralyze your enemies for about four hours with the poison in your fangs, but you don’t like biting others, to you it’s kind of gross.
-When a portal opened and Miguel stepped out along with several other members of HQ and he immediately glared, “There you are!!” you let out a terrified squeak and instantly ducked under a table but when nothing happened, you peeked out, seeing your new parents, those who had adopted you, were standing between Miguel and you.
-Miguel remained calm, explaining the canon events, and that the multi-verse was at threat of falling apart if you didn’t return to your own world and continue with your duties, this time with a babysitter since you were one of the ones who tried to help Miles.
-Miguel tried to yell at you once you came around, peeking out around Adam, who held your hand when he felt your hand looking for his, “Miles needs to understand that this needs to happen! Miles, you, and those other idiots who helped him are all so selfish!”
-You immediately snapped back, “He’s a teenager- I’m a teenager, we’re kids! What do you expect when you tell us that we have to let our loved ones die?!”
-He glared and Odin, showing his intimidating aura, spoke, “That is enough!” Jessica tried to reason with you, but you didn’t want to, you refused to believe that this was the only way.
-Zeus then laughed warmly, “My-my~ you humans always seem to make such a fuss out of things. As gods, we have the power to remove the instability of these multi-verses, so things can play out according to how you all want them to.”
-Jaws dropped all around as you gawked at him, completely stunned before the gods combined their powers to just that, giving Miles the opportunity to save his dad with no repercussions, there were no longer a need for canon events!!
-Miguel was stunned before he sighed softly, admitting defeat and sent out the message to everyone, letting them know what had happened and that Miles and those who were being hunted were no longer in trouble.
-You cheered loudly, celebrating and Jessica couldn’t help but ruffle your hair lightly before she gave you a new watch, as she knew yours had been destroyed, giving you the opportunity to come back to HQ whenever you wanted.
-You beamed, leaping and hugging Poseidon who caught your embrace, as you now had the freedom you always wanted to do what you want with your powers, and you could come and go to Valhalla as you pleased.

As Hunter puts the work in to recover and heal, looking back on Belos's 'kindness' in offering him a staff, taking him in, and providing the opportunity to be special as the Golden Guard...will be confusing and will involve seemingly conflicting emotions.
Having that treatment from his 'uncle' was the only reference point of feeling loved, while experiencing terror deeper down. This lasted for years before he met Luz and co.
He has overall spent less time in the new framework of healthy found family, than the years in the Castle.
I was looking at scenes from a couple of movies - the Black Widow movie and also Blade Runner 2049 (spoilers for both movies ahead, obviously) - as psychology references to see how two other fictional characters recalled their confusing but significant memories.
These examples carry some big concepts, one of which is that we "recall with our feelings". Not with pure impersonal logic that neatly trims away false info and discards it. If only it were that easy to dust our hands clean this way when healing from trauma.
In Black Widow, Yelena is the character who wears her heart on her sleeve the most, like Hunter naturally does. When confronted with the revelation that her happy childhood was staged, naturally Yelena feels betrayed:
Tumblr media
(the GIF file for above was too big so lol I just screencapped a still frame from it)
But she quickly makes a conscious decision on how she wants to view those good memories, when hearing her sister Natasha saying it was all fake. This is perhaps her most important line in the movie:
Tumblr media
She still chose to believe it had all been real. She is actively claiming the meaning that her good childhood had provided for her. Choosing what kind of lens she'd like to view those memories through. Defending that good meaning. Because her life fell apart after that good childhood came to an end. She could choose to say it was all fake, if she wanted to see it as fake.
She confronts Melina, her (staged) maternal figure who obviously isn't her biological or even a proper adoptive mother, and says: "You are my mother. You were my real mother, the closest thing I ever had to one."
When it comes to Hunter, he wouldn't find it as straightforward to acknowledge that the times when Belos was nice to him "felt real". Would he ever want to view the late Emperor as his uncle? Not via any conscious decision, I'm sure...since he's the opposite of Yelena here. Hunter's safe haven was after he escaped the Emperor's Coven, but Yelena's haven was at the start of her life, which she wished had been permanent.
Those months of summer when Hunter spent time away from Belos in the human realm must've been so special for him. But when faced with inevitable confusing flashbacks especially after Belos's death (that involve the subconscious, not conscious, part of his mind), he's still going to feel that the Emperor was a close family member whom he had an attachment with. Belos was the closest thing he ever had to family for so long.
In the Black Widow example, Yelena felt that Melina was her mother, from an early age. Around two decades later in her young adulthood, she still feels that this is the case, and consciously still wishes for that. She was lucky to be able to reconcile with Melina in the movie.
Hunter isn't as lucky. While he recovers, I don't think he can simply dismiss what it felt like to be told that he is part of a family (even if it was a lie) in such fragile formative years:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
As an example, if I had first been told at age 5 by a parent that they promised to protect me, only to find out a decade later that they actually wouldn't have ever cared if I died...I would be hella confused.
Quoting a guest lecturer from my first year of therapist training, the part of our brains responsible for reasoning and logic - the prefrontal cortex - does not begin to seriously mature until our late teen years. Which is why early childhood memories can't just be viewed by our adult selves and easily trimmed away and viewed in black-or-white as truth-or-lie. Those early years are sensitive for us all, in how they shape us later in life. That inner child is still in each of us.
Blade Runner 2049's protagonist, K, has an arc that takes a different direction: he had actual false memories implanted that were not even his own, but the theme that is consistent for this post is those memories still felt real to him, and thus affected him emotionally. He felt unfulfilled and wanted something new, to feel like he had a soul, which led him on this risky quest. Sadly, he easily believed in a lie because it matched the truth he wished for. Thus, even false memories could feel real to him because he was desperate for meaning in life.
This movie has a cyberpunk dystopian setting, so it's of course more bleak. K was made to believe so strongly in those memories because he was ultimately used as just smokescreen, to keep the real person (who had those memories) well-hidden. Below, he speaks to the memory maker who formed his false memories. She is a very skilled deceiver, and successfully engineers experiences that didn't actually happen because she inserts fragments of truth here and there.
And she makes some good points about how she succeeds at implanting false memories:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Especially the last two lines, "We recall with our feelings. Anything real should be a mess."
Linking back to Hunter, it would be a tough process to learn how to make peace with his childhood with Belos. Because anything that felt real would be a mess.
And K has a similar line as Yelena did:
Tumblr media
The running theme I spotted is the realness of confusing memories for these characters, because their inner conflicts involve questioning themselves: whether or not they were just imagining the good feelings they felt.
While we never got confirmation whether Belos used false memories or not, I'm inclined to think he didn't...in order to work more subtly and over a long period of time on Hunter as his latest grimwalker project. The deadlier lies are the ones with many bits of truth scattered throughout their intricate webs, like what the memory maker in Blade Runner 2049 could pull off.
Belos's treatment would've felt kind to Hunter at the time. As they say, how we feel about any experience we have is "what we make of it". Or how we choose to view the experience.
Tumblr media
I think Hunter needed to believe his uncle really was kind, while maintaining his own image, in order to keep going and survive.
This tragically meant he had to believe he wasn't doing enough.
It is always scarier for an abused child to see that their parent in fact isn't loving after all/isn't a good person, compared to imposing shame upon themselves and believing they aren't good enough.
Of course, all this would've changed by the time we get to here and beyond:
Tumblr media
Memory is subjective and our minds are so powerful that they find evidence to seemingly confirm any kind of beliefs that we form.
All three characters in this post were cogs in a machine, reduced to being pawns in a scheme...until they later had the space to decide things for themselves.
As seen in Hunter's efforts in his Golden Guard days to be good enough in the role, Yelena taking a stand to preserve the purity of an untainted childhood (even if it was staged and not organic), K defying authority to cross a line in his duties and get answers about who he was....this is how much we as humans will clamber to grasp onto a sense of personhood, to give our lives meaning and survive the best we can.
Yelena wanted to preserve the memories of her childhood as good, as a haven or a warm fuzzy bubble to look back on, because it got torn apart before she reunited with her family many years later.
Obviously Hunter can't do exactly the same i.e. preserving the entirety of his time in the Castle as "good", since he has now been able to see that Belos was a constant threat upon his life. However, he could still look back on smaller pockets of his childhood as pleasant, by isolating those specific memories.
We have two examples in canon: the way he grins when remembering the experience of being left on top of the mountain and climbing back down. And him saying that "weekends were nice" since he tasted partial freedom by being outdoors going on missions.
In fact, he would likely start out wanting to erase his childhood, view it as entirely bad and terrible to revisit, and try to force himself to forget its significance and start afresh. But this would only worsen the unpleasant emotions associated with this time of his life that he'd rather wish had not existed.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mental health recovery is counter-intuitive: avoiding or denying emotions tend to make them grow bigger and scarier, while letting them feel seen and heard can help them along to shrink and positively transform over time. Hunter's therapist would have to provide him with psychoeducation on this so that he doesn't feel like he's grieving wrongly. It would bring him more peace if he can acknowledge both of these seemingly conflicting truths:
Factually, Belos did lie to him and betray him.
(Here's the important part) Emotionally, if the 'kindness/love' offered by Belos felt real at the time, received by Hunter's very legit need for attachment and meaning, then yes, it was real.
Both these points can coexist. Belos's love was untrue in the factual sense (we in the audience can easily see this), yet true in the emotional sense for a young child like who Hunter was. Which is what makes it hard.
Someone would ask Hunter, "Do you think he loved you?" and the answer isn't simple. Maybe it'd be something like "He didn't, but I felt like he really did." And the second half of that sentence ("but I felt like he really did") honestly doesn't need to be changed or removed, and the grief in those words should be honoured. Belos only cared about meeting Hunter's emotional needs as a means to an end, and as strange as it sounds to say this...it did help Hunter survive long enough, however mistreated he was. Because he still clung on to meaning and a purpose in his life.
The love wasn't there in the technical sense: instead it was a twisted version of Philip's love for Caleb, not any love extended towards Hunter. But this love still felt mostly real to Hunter before he fled the coven.
And I bet that even if it was for a split-second, Belos's gaslighting of "Why are you hurting me? I only wanted to help you" felt real and true to the poor kid here:

before Hunter expressed that he knew who Belos truly was as a person: a liar.

Sisterhood.
Pairing: Namor/K’ul’ku’kan x reader
Summary: When your sisters, well fake sisters, Nastash and Yelena ask for your help to destroy the man and place that took everything from you before your life began, you happily agree to join but your husband, didn't know why and didn't care. He forbid you to go, you don't take orders well.
Warning: Aust, Fluff, Arguments, Black widow spoilers, Grabic fighting, Dark past, Making up, Near death experience.
A/n: I never did anything like this so be gentle with me lol, I hope it comes out alright. It took a while because I had to watch the movie step by step as I had things going on so I hope it was worth the wait so im sorry if it sucks
Tumblr media
" I need to go! It's a family emergency!" you argued as you stuffed clothes into the backpack, growing annoyed as your newly wedded husband; Namor took some out "No. you never told me much about your family and I don't trust those surface dwellers." you stopped and glared at him "I'm a "surface dweller" mind you." you air quoted what he said "I forbid you to go." he declared "Forbid me?" you questioned in disbelief "You forbid me?!" You repeated outraged.
Everything in you desired to yell and shout at him but you had to play this smart, you couldn't waste more time. Taking a breath "Fine. Let's just go to bed yeah?" you spoke in a defended tone, giving him the puppy eyes he couldn't resist, Namor just laid his forehead against yours "I love you Luciérnaga. (firefly)" he kissed you, you kissed back already feeling guilty but your sisters need you "I love you too" you smiled and began to get ready for bed. You opened your eyes and looked at your dead sleep husband, you quietly snatched your old suit, a few clothes and walked into your walk-in pantry, pulling down a fake cereal box, your closet of weapons showed, you grabbed your two pistols and throwing knives, and keys to the car and stuffing them in the large backpack. You left a note saying that you would be back and not to worry although you knew that was pointless he would worry but worth a shot, you signed your name, and a I love you and left.
You stared at your GPS 'Well she said to meet her here' you got out of the vehicle and into the ever-going meadow, after a good 20-minute walk, you see a man with two women one with red hair and the other blonde standing in front of a helicopter, you recognized them almost immediately with tears in your eyes "Natasha! Yelena!" you called out, their heads snapped to your direction as you run closer, you could see a smile on Natasha's face and shock and disbelief on Yelenas. See their faces brought up the only few good memories of your childhood. The fake holiday photos, the whistling that you shared, playing with other kids, lessons you learn as a normal kid would, Melina and Alexel, your mother and father, Natasha and Yelena, your older and younger sisters. When you made it to them, you hugged Yelena, and she stood there before she hugged you back "Sister." she whispered, you almost couldn't hear her "Сестра, я скучал по тебе. (sister, I have missed you)" you whispered and rubbed her back. "What about me?" Natasha joked "Not so much. You were too busy playing hero." you teased back, letting go of Yelena "So, who's ass we're gonna kick?" you questioned looking between your sisters "Actually we're broking Alexei out of prison." Natasha corrected you.
You got ready in the white combat suit that Natasha give you, as you were fastening the belt you catch a glance of the ring that bounded you to namor and you placed a kiss on it before putting your wedding ring into your pocket for safekeeping. Taking a deep breath, you grabbed a rope on the other side of the helicopter, both you and Natasha swung down while she landed in a pose, 'God, such a poser' you rolled your eyes and kicked one of the guards off the narrow walkway before landing on your feet. Another guard rushed to you to avenge his fallen coworker just as your feet hit the walkway, quickly you delivered an around-house kick to his side, slamming him into the railing, and the two other guards on your side ran to you, fists and guns raised when you heard a "Duck!" coming from behind you, and you dropped to your knees, to see a rope with a big metal clip bang into their heads, knocking them out. Four Guards ran out the door to you, the first wheeled his arm back and swung his fist forward, you leaned back avoiding the punch, and grabbed his arm moving him to the side which gave you an opening, you kicked him three times in the left side of his torso and then to the stomach sending him flying into his coworker behind him, they tumbled like bowling pins.
The two left blocked both sides and you smirked, you could already see the fear resonating inside them, you almost felt bad. Almost.
Not wasting a second you ran to the one on your right, and as he readied himself for your attack, you slide underneath his legs and used one of your knives to slash his ankle you, threw your knife into his back, and his face hit the metal walkway, the other jolted his foot out coming towards your face, he missed. You rolled away and lifted yourself on your knees, and just as he tried to kick you again you swapped his feet from below him as he fell to his knees you punched him in the face, his head banged into the railing hard and he collapsed cold. You went to get up but you immediately squatted down as the helicopter lowered almost hitting you and Nat, who began to yell at Yelena, to which your younger sister just did a thumbs up.
You and your older sister continue to fight the seaming endless prison guards waiting for Alexei to get to your level. You punched your final guy three times In the face and pushed him over the rail, who was honestly your best friend in this prison broke, you stop dead in your tracks at the sound of a rocket launcher being shot and ice breaking, you didn't even look to the mountains to confirm your suspicion. You turn to Natasha "Nat! We have to go now! Or else we'll be buried alive!" you shouted over panicked screams, Natasha kicked a guard in the face before turning to you "Go! I'll get Alexei!" She shouted back "Are you sure?!" she nodded. You grabbed your rope, climbed up, and into the helicopter, you took a sharp inhale as you sat beside Yelena and put on the headgear anxiety gripping your heart for your sister and father as you watched as snow began to flow down to the Russian prison.
Natasha quickly grabbed the rope and secured herself to it as Yelena turned around and flew the copter to the walkway level, you sighed in relief as both you and your sister looked down, Natasha was able to get Alexei as the copter flew upwards, Yelena laughed and smiled, you giggled as you high fived each other. Natasha and Alexel climbed into the helicopter. Nat stood up and walked towards you, putting on headgear as Alexei cursed the prison Russian before closing the door of the old copter, "oh, I'm so proud of you girls." he spoke after catching his breath standing beside Natasha, though neither of you replied, "Oh, you can't hear me, huh?" he said loudly, laughing he grabbed a headset for his own "Wow" he started but didn't get to finish as Yelena backhanded him the face.
"Okay," he groaned"Why the aggression, huh?" he looked at Yelena "is it your time of the mouth?" God, you hated that fucking question "We don't get periods fuckface. We don't have uteruses." you answered for her, your blood boiling with anger but your voice was calm despite this "Or ovaries." Natasha added, Alexei looked between you three "Yeah, That's what happens when the Red room gives you an involuntary hysterectomy. They kind of just go in and they rip out all of your reproductive organs." Yelena turned around and gestured with her hands "They just get right in there and they chop them all away. Everything out, so you can't have babies." "Okay, Okay, Okay! Okay!" Alexei cut her off not bothering to hide his disgust.
"You don't have to get so clinical and nasty." he spoke sitting down on the chair closest to you "Oh, well, I was about to talk about fallopian tubes but okay." She replies, you smiled and shook your head, looking out the window finding this conversation amusing. "It means so much to me that you came back for me." "No. No. You're gonna tell us how to get to the Red Room." Natasha spoke up "Whoa, look at you, huh? All business." Alexei looked at Natasha "Trust me, this isn't pleasure." she rolled her eyes "Little Natasha, all indoctrinated into the Western agenda." he looked at you three again before his focus went onto your older sister "I chose to go west to become an Avenger, 'cause they treated me like family." She defended herself, refusing to look at her 'Father' "Really? Family? Well, where are they now." Alexei asked, knowing full well what happened. You pursed your lips and continued to look out the window with a glare as Yelena quietly looked at your sister "Where is that family now?" his eyes bored into her "Tell me where the red room is." She fired, her hand gripping the wall behind the driver's seat.
"I have no idea." you and Yelena just scoffed, Natasha finally looked at him, took off the headset, ripped Alexei's off, and sat across from him, "Come on. You and Dreykov we're like..." "Dreykov? General Dreykov, my friend, huh? Gives me glory...Soviet union's first and only super soldier. I could have been more famous than Captain America. Then he buries me in Ohio on that stupid mission" He looked at you and Yelena as you both looked back at him "Three years! So tedious, boring me to tears." You looked straightforward with your fist tightened, fighting the urge to go back there and punch him in the face "No offense, huh?" you rolled your eyes 'yeah like that would make it better' Yelena just shook her head "Then puts me in prison for the rest of my life. Why huh? Why? Why would he put me in...You know why? 'Cause, maybe I want to talk about the withering of the state. Or maybe I don't like his hair or something and I say something casually about that. Maybe you know, I want the Party to feel actually like a party instead of this sourpuss organization. But instead, no. He puts me in prison for the rest of my life. He just runs off and hides, huh?" he finished his 'sad' sob story kicking the toolbox close to him like a child "I'm not even the who, uh, you know..." he quickly pointed at Natasha "I'm not the one who killed his daughter." he said "Can we throw him out the fucking window now?" you asked, already done with his bullshit, "I think we should wait till we get to a higher altitude." Nat answered, "All right." Yelena nodded "Почему бы не спросить Мелину, где он? (Why not ask Melinda where it is?)" Alexei suggested snarkily speaking over your younger sister "Wait, Mom Melina?" Yelena looked back at him, with shock "We thought she was dead." You and Natasha looked at him to which he scoffed "You cannot kill a fox that swift." he smirked.
"Ew." you whispered under your breath "She was the scientist, the strategist I was the muscle. She worked directly for Dreykov far more than I ever did." he informed you "She is working for the Red Room present day?" Natasha asked and leaned forward to see if he was telling the truth "She works remotely outside St. Petersburg." Alexei confirmed. "I don't think we have enough fuel for St. Petersburg." Yelena doubted "No. We're good we'll make it." just like Yelena said the copter fall to the ground, and she was to get it down safely. You sighed as you pushed the heavy door out your way, Natasha, Yelena, and Alexei following you out fields of purple flowers, grass, and trees were all you could see "You should've brought the Avengers superjet." Alexei told Natasha, you glared at him before walking away with your sisters, you swear if he said one more thing you were gonna kick him where the sun don't shine, and then in the face "I swear, if you I hear one more word from him, I will kick him in the face." She spat, thinking the same as you unknowingly "He's the worst." you chuckled "Natasha." Alexei called out "Natasha. Natasha. Come here, I want to ask you something" he beckoned her, you walked farther ahead you didn't want to hear his stupid voice.
Yelena and you stopped and turned around as Natasha's voice raised in volume "What is with this tension?" Alexei questioned, sounding like a kicked puppy "Did I do something wrong?" he really was so stupid and an ignorant, selfish prick "Is that a serious question?" You asked, "I only ever loved you, girls. I did my best to make sure you would succeed. To achieve your fullest and everything worked out." Alexei spoke up like a disappointed father "Everything worked out?" Natasha asked sarcastically "Yes. For you, yes. We accomplished our mission in Ohio. (Y/n) you went on to become the deadliest and most ruthless black widow in the world. Yelena, you went on to become one of the greatest child assassin, and Natasha, not just a spy not just toppling regimes and destroying Empires from within but an Avenger. You three have killed so many people. Your ledgers must be dripping, just gushing red." he pulled you three into a group hug " I couldn't be more proud of you." you pushed him off you, and walked off Natasha didn't hesitate to do the same, Yelena let him hug her a bit more before stalking off to her bigger sisters.
After an hour of walking, you made it to a barged gated sanctuary where your mom stood with a sniper rifle, she took a minute to look between all four of you "Honey, we're home." Alexei smiled, silently she made it to her house Alexei began to follow her "Come on, girls." you and your sisters followed them "Welcome to my humble boat." Melina opened the door and walked through "Make yourself at home." you nodded at looked around the cozy house "Let's have a drink." She sighed as she put away the rifle. You and Yelena sat down beside each other at the dining table, Natasha and Melina sat down not too long ago as you hear Alexei grunting in the bathroom, you wished you could be anywhere besides here right now. you rather be dick down than sit in this awkward atmosphere "Let's drink." your mother suggested grabbing the bottle of alcohol. The sound of a bathroom door opening and Alexei clearing his throat brought your attention to him, you wish you hadn't "Still fits." Melina wolf-whistled and clapped officially traumatizing you "I never washed it once" she admitted, "Come drink." he sat down "Family. Back together again." he smiled looking at his 'family' through Melina corrected him, that they shouldn't use that term anymore "Agreed so here's what's going to happen..." "Okay. A reunion then, huh?" Your dad cut off Natasha reaching over to grab the tub of strawberries
"I want to say something right off the bat. You have an age today huh? You're just as beautiful and as supple as the day they staged our marriage." you shot down your drink, you wanted it felt something other than the absolute disgust within "You got fat. But still good." She flirted as Alexei chuckled " I just got out of prison first. I, uh..." he looked at you three before looking back at Melina " I have a lot of energy." he admitted suggestively "Oh!" she gasped "Please don't do that." Natasha spoke up for the three of you before getting down to business "so, here's what's going to happen." "Natasha, down slouch." Melina scolded her.
"I'm not slouching." she straightened her back like she wasn't "Yes, yes you are." " I don't slouch" Natasha defended herself pitifully "You're going to have a back hunch." Melina gestured with her body. You watched the scene with a small smile for a nonfamily you guys sure acted like one "Listen to your mother." Alexei added "All right enough. All of you" Nat looked at both you and Yelena "We didn't say anything." you started, your smile gone "That's not fair." Yelena continued "Here's what's going to happen..." Natasha started again "I don't want any food." Yelena said as Melina piled food onto yours and her plate "Eat a little something, (Y/n), Yelena, for God's sake." your mother scolded you two "You're going to tell us the location of the Red room." Natasha finished "You know, it's like when you told them that they could stay up late to catch Santa Clause," She said tearfully looking at Alexei " what that was fun. You know, "he come down to the chimney girls. lookout. Where is he?" You wait for him, and then when the cookies are gone, you see he's there. I want them to follow their dreams." "No good." Melina shook her head "Reach for the stars girls." he said loudly "Finding Dreykov is not a fantasy. It's unfinished business." Natasha said seriously "You can't defend a man who commands the very well of others." Melina finally answered got up and came back with a tablet "Come in." she said to what looked like no particular then the door opened and a pig walks.
"Did that pig? Just walk in here, I'm not just seeing things, y'all saw it too?" "Yes. It did." Melina spoke keeping her eyes on the pig, and proceeded to use mind control on it, forcing it to stop breathing. You looked away, gripping your silver spoon, you couldn't, didn't want to watch, she helped the man who used you and your sisters, mother, and girls to do his dirty bidding, She unknowingly used that on all three of you.
"The world functions on a higher level when it is controlled," she said after dismissing 'Alexei' the pig "Dreykov has chemically subjugated agents planted around the globe." she poured herself a drink "And do you know who they test it on?" Yelena asked stoically "Hmm...No that's not my department." Melina looked at her "Don't lie to them. hmm?" Alexei watched as Melina poured him a drink "I'm not lying." "You're Dreykov's architect, huh?" "Where were you? If I was his architect you were his partner. You were his business partner" Your parents began to argue "Shut up! You are an idiot." Natasha spat at Alexei "And you're a coward." She turned to Melina " You're a coward." Nat repeated "And our family was never real, so there's nothing to hold on to. We're moving on" Your gaze snapped to her "Never family, huh? In my heart, I am a simple man. And I think that for a couple deep undercover Russian agents, I think we did pretty great as parents, huh?" Alexei said, "Yes, we had our orders, and we played our roles to perfection." Melina agreed "Who cares? That wasn't real." Natasha shook her head, on the verge of tears "What?" Yelena looked at her, hurting betrayal in her eyes.
"Don't say that." you finally spoke up, causing the whole table to look at you " It was real. It was real to me." Yelena said shaky, pointing to herself "You are my mother." she gestured and looked at Melina "You were my real mother. The closest thing I ever had to one. The best part of my life was fake and none of you told me. And those agents you chemically subjugated around the globe?" Yelena paused "That was us. That was me." Melina looked at her shocked, Yelena's stare switched between Natasha and you "You both got out. Dreykov made sure no one else could escape. Gonna say anything Natasha?" she asked glaring at your older sister "No." she nodded and grabbed the whiskey bottle and stormed off.
"I had no idea" your mother looked from her lap to Alexei "It's okay, it's okay. I'll talk to her." he grabbed his helmet off from the floor and walked the way, Yelena went. Natasha got up and walked toward the weaponry pantry, declaring she do it herself as you and Melina remained at the table "Don't, you wouldn't survive." Melina called after her "I wish I could believe that you cared." Natasha answer back "But you're not even the first mother that abandoned me." you rolled your eyes as you walked to your sister, your mother by your side "No, you weren't abandoned." Melina said, "You were selected by a program, that assessed the genetic potential in infants." Natasha looked at her in shock as you just leaned against the wall bookshelves behind your mother with only thoughts wringing that fat fucks neck like you always wanted to and to be home, with Namor, in his arms, he must be so worried and probably pissed at you. You can't keep lying to him after this is done, you'll tell him everything. He deserves to know, he deserved to know a long time ago the night he found you on the beach with wounds bleeding out, the night you escape. Black widows came from all directions, and you killed every. single. one you wasn't called the deadliest and ruthless black widow for nothing. When you had finally made it safely, exhaustion and pain dig their claws into you, and dragged you down into the sand, you were sure of yourself that it was that, you were gonna die there cold, and alone but your fish man saw you, took pity on you, nurse you back to health. Sealing your fate with him.
You finally came to reality when Natasha pulled you into the pantry and went over her and Melina's plan, she handed you an earpiece and Melina give you a run down on what to expect. You couldn't wait to fuck up those bastards, All you had to do is let yourself get caught.
You groan and shook your head, feeling sluggish from the sedatives, the cell you're held in was somewhat completely White except for the red bed and black floor, the door was made out of pure glass, you looked at the vents that your mother said would be exactly there. You grabbed the throwing knives that Natasha put in your pocket and throw one in between one of the little cracks in the ceiling, with such force it swung open. You picked out the dropped knife and walked onto your cell bed, you grabbed the side on the open vent and took a deep breath as you exiled, you jumped and swung yourself upwards into the metal Airway once landing in a crouch, you quickly reached down and closed the vent. 'just keep going until you find a two-way and make a left, Yelena should be getting surgery, I have Natasha put a knife in her pocket but get to her as fast as possible.' your mother's words ring out, you got there in only a minute, the vent overlooked the surgical area where Yelena lied strapped to a stretcher, you just needed to wait for the moment to strike "What?" Yelena asked out loud, Melina had to have told her about the blade "What are you going to do to me?" she covered up looking at a surgeon. That was your cue, you dropped down, and the harsh sound of metal crashing against the floor alerted the surgeons, wasting no time you pulled out a knife and throw it to the surgeon by the computer, the blade plunged itself into his skull, his body falls to the floor in a pool of blood, as the other surgeon stood shocked Yelena took this time to cut herself and knock him out.
"You couldn't have told me sooner?" She asked you, with a glare "I didn't have time, sorry." you shrugged as you both left the area to find the antidote "Where did he take the vials?" Yelena asked your mother, wiping away the maker on her forehead "Yeah. sure. Easy." She replied to something Melina said as you walked into a long corridor. Yelena picked up the vent and moved aside before dropping down first in a pose after she got up, you dropped down rolling your eyes "Poser." you walked past her "I'm not a poser." "You just posed." "Well i-" you shushed her, looking around the corner to a guard standing there "one up ahead," you informed her quietly " I got this." She smirked, running forward, she hooked her arm around his neck and swing her body to the side, then let him go before sweeping kicking him, knocking him cold. "Cool, right?" She panted her hands on her knees " I could have done better." you playfully teased her, griping his legs and dragging him to the touchpad and with Yelena's help put his hand on it. The doors slide open and clear cabinets filled the whole room, medication and sedatives poison any liquid form contained in them, you both looked at each side "Yelena." you called out to her pointing to the glowing red vials "Melina, we found the location of the vials." she told her, suddenly bright red lights filled the space, you took as a sign run so you did just that, Yelena by your side "Fantastic, We're heading to the widows now." "Fuck." you sighed as the room of what should have been training widows was empty, Yelena noticed a pin wall filled with weapons and grabbed one of the smoke bombs and rubber bands of the vials to it "Let's go," she said running out the other door, you following after her, you opened the door to Dreykov's office, you were about to go in there to help Natasha fight off the widows when Yelena held you back and throw the antidote into the air, the vials breaking and sprinkling down onto the windows, freeing them "Natasha," you started, dropping to your knees in front "You okay?" you pushed her hair away from her forehead, looking at the damage "I'm fine." She reassured you taking your hand and getting up with you "That looks like it hurts" Yelena wrapped her hand around the knife in Natahsa's shoulder as you help Natasha walk to her "Okay. I take out on there, ready?" Yelena asked and yanked it out "I'm sorry." She muttered as Natasha screamed out in pain "Mitä me teemme nyt? (What do we do now?)." a widow asked in Finnish between you and your sisters "You live." you spoke looking at every widow "And get as far away from here as possible." Natasha said, "You get to finally make your own choices now." Yelena add, the moment of peace was entreated by the sounds of explosions.
"We gotta get outta here." Natasha looked at you and Yelena "We need to find Dreykov. Are you coming?" Yelena asked her "I'm right behind you," Natasha said moving to Dreykov's desk to grab something "I'll stay with her go!" you lightly pushed Yelena out to lead the free widows. You watched Nat pull out a ring and slide it against a screen in the desk drawer and type in something, put a Drive into a small box processor to download the files of the widows around the world, you groaned and winced looking away as Natasha snapped her nose back, despite killing and being around countless deaths, you couldn't stand to see your loved ones hurt "Nat." you said in a worried tone, hearing the glass break around you "Just a little bit longer." she continued to stare at the loading screen "Finally!" she quickly grabbed the Drive and you grabbed what was left over the vials and you both ran out the room but the elevator busted out fire, both of you ducked out the way and ran to the waiting room, Natasha pulled out her twin pistols and shot out the glass.
You jumped out into the sky down the red room, you reached out for the outdoor walkway rail, and as its fell from the weight of you and your older sister, you swing yourself into the open busted window from Below, Natasha following not soon after, you ran down the hallway. You granted as you slammed into a wall, having some equipment hit you, you pushed it away and ran again ducking and weaving out of the way from the falling ceilings and items "Natasha!" you screamed as she fall down the floor from a large piece of the ceiling fell on her "Go! I'll be okay!" she yelled back "fuck." you whisper, jumping on your heels debating before eventually listening to her, and jumped over the hole and continue to run down the hallway. Three of the red room's guards saw you and began to shoot at you, really even as you were failing to your deaths they still wanted to kill you? without stopping, you slipped two of your throwing knife and aimed them at the two guards, took in a breath pulled your arms back, and release the blades forward, one stuck itself into the throat on the left and the other landed into the gun's barrel, the guard didn't notice until too late as it blasted into his face, the middle guard got lucky, one bullet lunged into your shoulder but you just gritted your teeth and tackled the man out the windows. You stole a quick glance past his shoulder, the landing pad was a good 3ft drop and you were heading there fast, the guy still wanting to kill you tried to shoot you again but you knocked the gun out of his hand and used it to hit him in the head repeatedly, the ground catch up, you rolled off his body and standing up, a guard in his mind ran past you with a parachute "I'll take that." you pulled him back by the parachute and sweep him off your feet, and kicked him in the face "Okay. Where is my family?" you looked around the chaos while you put on the parachute, immediately you notice Natasha hanging off the side of a wing beside you but also Dreykov rushing into a helicopter and Yelena running to him, you ran after her as the wing began to collapse onto the landing pad, your eyes widened when you realized what she was planning Natasha caught up to you, running side by side "Yelena!" Natasha screamed out "Don't you dare do it!" You screamed out "This was fun!" Yelena yelled back with a smile "No!" you and Natasha yelled but like Yelena, she didn't listen at plugged her staff into the engine of the helicopter causing it to blow up and push her back into the sky.
Natasha grabbed a randomly placed parachute and jumped "Please be okay!" you prayed, jumping with her. driving y forward you and Natasha flew through a fallen helicopter window, you two made it to her, and Natasha put on the parachute on Yelena and pulled the trigger, everything seemed still until in the corner of your eye a weirdly dressed guard was zooming towards you, Natasha pushed Yelena and you out of the andy and then flew to the ground the guard following her. You got separated from Yelena, and a large portion of a wall was coming to you without any way to pass it, you pushed yourself backward and landed on your feet on the wall, ran to the edge, and pushed off, a smaller one was behind but this time you could fly out the way. You were getting closer to the ground so you pull the trigger to your parachute and ducked and rolled onto your feet with what seemed to practice ease though you never went skydiving, you slide it off, held onto your shoulder to stop the bleeding, and walked around for your sisters amongst the fallen debris "Yelena! (Y/n)!" you heard not too far away "Natasha!!" you yelled running to where her voice was "(Y/n)!!" you smiled as you see your big sister and ran into her arms "Are you okay?" she asked hugging you tightly "just a bullet wound, nothin' major." you grinned as she fussed over "Come let's worry about that later, we need to find Yelena." she nodded "Yelena!" "There!" you pointed to her she lay in between debris, her parachute hovering over her on a fallen bar lucky she wasn't trapped, you and Natasha slide to your knees once you made it to her, Natasha shook her "Yelena?" you asked worriedly, Yelena opened her eyes looking between you and your other sister, both clouding her vision and smiled "We're upside down." she got up with a groan and turned to face you "простите меня сестры (Forgive me, sisters)" Natasha spoke "You're my sisters, it was real to me too and Yelena I should've come back for you." she cried "You don't have to say that" Yelena replied "it's okay," you added holding her hand while Yelena laid her forehead against your older sister's, you turned to look at your mother and father after hearing a grunt. All three of you stood up from oldest to youngest watching your parents make their way to you "You good?" Natasha asked Melina "I am clearly injured" your mother replied "You got something to say?" she asked Alexei "I'd just mess it up" he answered offering his hand to her which she took it. The sounds of vehicles came "Here comes the cavalry." Natasha sighed "so what's our plan?" Melina asked "You guys go. I'll stay." "That's insanity. We fight. We fight with you." Alexei spoke up "I'll hold them off." "Natasha, we fight." "We can't split up. You're so pigheaded." "You guys, go" Natasha put her feet down "Besides if it can work out with the five of us, you know, there may be some hope for the Avengers. little bit." she smiled "If you're leaving take this." Yelena took off her vest "I know how much you like it." "Shucks" Natasha laughed "He had widows implanted all over the world," you informed Yelena "Mother will need to copy the formula" you handed her the vials "You should be the one to tell 'em it's over" Natasha nodded to her suddenly the sound of a jet engine landed before your family.
The widows you freed earlier stepped out, walking to Yelena "You came back for us." Yelena looked at them "Мы бы не оставили вас позади. (We wouldn't leave you behind)" one of them said and Yelena walked through the sea of former black widows, touching their hands as she walked by "Thank you." you smiled whistling goodbye Natasha, Yelena shortly joining in, after a minute, a second Natasha whistle back and You, Yelena and parents aborted the jet, you didn't know it but this would be the last time you saw your older sister.
You groaned, holding onto your bandage shoulder, everything ached and hurt, your feet felt like you are walking on glass, and your knees buckled a few times as you walked to the beach house that you shared with your husband, you felt such a relief once you saw it you can't wait to take a shower blood and dirt caked on your face and body but the relief turn to frightfulness as you watched as Namor storm off the porch into you "Baby i-i promise to ever run off like that and I'll tell you everythi—" you started once he stood before you, his hands grabbing you face and pulled you in a kiss full of emotion worry, relief, and love. Tears filled your closed eyes the whole time you acted like you weren't scared but you were, scared you'd never see him again "Do not worry about anything, I'm glad you're back and you can tell me everything once you're ready." he laid his forehead against yours.
"Let's go home In yakunaj."

not to come on this website and talk about the mcu in 2024 but. can you imagine watching in chronological order - as someone who has no idea about these movies - and reaching black widow's end credits.
people like to say it would ruin it because spoilers, but honestly, i think it would be a gut-wrenching way to experience it. you know natasha is going to die, and as far as you know, clint barton will kill her. civil war just layed the seeds of anger in the avengers, and then they didn't see each other for years.
the next time we see clint, his family is dead. he is ronin, and he is hunting killers. he has not seen natasha since they faced each other at the airport. natasha didn't save his family. you think you know how this ends, but it doesn't.
then you finally reach vormir, and all of a sudden, it makes sense. clint would never kill natasha - not unless she made him.

So I finally watched The Marvels.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
~SPOILERS AHEAD~
They missed the opportunity to actually say Wanda's name but it's totally fine 'cause this is not about her, but also, excuse me Miss Rambeau??? Monica is that powerful now and all because she visited Wanda's little Sims city a couple of times, like what? I love it. That old theory that Wanda was the one who gave Pietro's power is coming back stronger now
I strongly believe misogyny and racism are behind the flop of this movie, I had an amazing time watching it, whole thing was genuinely funny with relevant marvel lore and characters plots (the aliens are still fighting each other and blaming humans, but hey, colonialism and exploit of resources are the main reason we have to protect planets). Everyone loves when Peter Quill explores the galaxy but if three women do the same it's suddenly a problem.
A lot of people saying how tired they are of Marvel, were only tired of women doing the Marvel formula, don't believe those haters. Just like every other Marvel project, we have the hero journey and their blockbusters cliches, a lot of visual effects and jokes, LIKE EVERY OTHER MARVEL PROJECT, but sure, let's blame the girls for the failure. To me, it was really refreshing just to see women having fun and supporting each other and throwing little energy balls every now and then.
Also, the fact that Princess Carol is a fucking Star now? Pretty sure that got her killed in the What if series but good to know she's more powerful than that.
Kamala is the star of this movie, she's so funny and charming but also Monica and Carol angst got me crying and it was not enough!! I need more of their pain
I almost forgot, Miss Carol Danvers is all by herself in space just using a god damn TORTURE DEVICE to try to get her memories back, EXCUSE ME??? Someone gives this woman a hug, or idk, sent her to therapy with Bucky cause jesus Christ that's not healthy lady.
For the things I didn't like, the rhythm for sure. Such a quick movie, a lot of things happening, one minute I was crying the next I was giggling then crying again and then thinking about politics like slow down a little. I wanna digest the dialogues for a second.
THE SINGING PLANET I CANNOT-
Really funny movie, kamala's parents, the cats, everything was so easy going and cheerful even with the little angst moments, I had such a good time.
The best thing about this movie, as fanfic writer who gets truly frustrated with plot holes and stuff like that, it's that I will be able to watch it again. Movies from the first phases I used to love before I start writing, I can no longer enjoy the same 'cause I keep seeing how they don't make a fucking sense or have unbearable characters storylines and personality changes (yes I'm talking about Civil War and Age of Ultron or Ultimate, maybe STEVE ROGERS LEAVING BUCKY in a specific matter). This and also the fact they lack all kinds of minorities. Doctor Strange had like 2 women in the cast?? And don't even get me started on talking about what the sequel did to Wanda's character development.
The Marvels, Ragnarok, Black Widow, Captain Marvel, Captain America (1&2), Infinity War and Guardians of The Galaxy (all three), Black Panther (both), Ten Rings, Eternals, are still the only Marvel movies I actually enjoy rewatching, because they are projects that respect the characters established personalities and history and for origins ones like Eternals or Ten Rings, they are simply fun, what a crime for a movie to be just fun huh
All of the shows are worth rewatching (even Fury's one that I hated it), 'cause they were given time to develop into stuff and as a writer there's a lot for us to work it.
Btw, I'm not talking about Kate Bishop'cause I'm simply unable to process my happiness over seeing her again. I do think I might have a stroke once Yelena is back.
