Pretty Words: Marvel Writing Challenge

Because life is hard, words are pretty, and deadlines make writing easier sometimes.

All prompts are quotes from poems that made me smile, and I want to share that feeling! Let’s help spread some positivity together!

Deadline: December 1 - 10, 2020

Please tag me in and/or send me your finished work, so I can link your story on the challenge masterlist (and send you some love)!

Guidelines (Please Read Before Joining):

1. You don’t have to be following me to participate, but it would be nice!

2. Reader inserts only please (2nd or 3rd person, please. I can’t bring myself to read 1st person POV)

3. This is a Marvel challenge, so stick to those characters.

4. One shots are preferred, but if you feel yourself spiraling into series territory, more power to you. Only the first chapter will be expected as part of the writing challenge.

5. If your story exceeds 500 words, please use a “read more” link.

6. Tag your stories appropriately! That means posting warnings up top and tagging the correct main pairing on the bottom. Let people know what they’re getting into.

7. The purpose of this challenge is to spread joy, so please give me happy endings. You can knock me out with some angst if you wish, as long as everyone’s happy by the end.

8. Feel free to spice things up if you’re so inclined, but steer clear of graphic smut, please. Implied or vague/atmospheric is totally fine.

9. My Please Don’ts: no dark!fics, underage, non-con, a/b/o, or main pairing cheating.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask!

*Please send me an ask with your prompt and character to claim it. Two people may write for the same prompt only if they are writing for different characters.

*Prompts are intended as inspiration - jumping off points. Please place the prompt in the Author’s Note, but not the actual story. And have fun! There’s no pressure to directly interpret the quote you choose. Follow wherever it leads you.

Prompts:

1. “...No matter how stalled I seem, some crank in me tightens the whirly-spring each time I see your face so thank you for aiming it my way...” Dean Young, “Easy as Falling Down Stairs”

Then. Now. Always. by @gogolucky13 (Bucky Barnes)

2. “through late afternoon a bus journeys west, the windshield flashing pink, pink glancing off of metal, brushing the demented flank of blue, beat-up enamel;” Elizabeth Bishop, “The Moose”

3. “To keep me from melancholy (call it blues), I fill this stolen time with you.” Rita Dove, “Cozy Apologia”

@starlightbucky with Bucky Barnes

4. “in the evening, after the day has refused to testify, we shall be examined on love like students who don’t even recall signing up for the course and now must take their orals, forced to speak for once from the heart and not off the top of their heads.” Thomas Centolella, “In the Evening We Shall Be Examined on Love”

@absentmindeduniverse with Bucky Barnes

5. “...you had me at no duh.” Dora Malech, “Love Poem”

@redrookrising with Bucky Barnes

7. “so i hope that you laugh and drink a little too much and kiss people who make you feel seen” Madisen Kuhn, “vanilla”

8. “For the years I lived on coffe and bread, Hungry all the time, walking to work on payday Like a woman journeying for water From a village without a well, then living One or two nights like everyone else On roast chicken and red wine.” Tracy K. Smith, “The Good Life”

9. “My thoughts about you are not exactly forbidden, but exalted because they are useless, not intended to get you because I have you & you love me.” Eileen Myles, “Peanut Butter”

10. “Hill-tops like hot iron glitter bright in the sun, And the river we’re eyeing burn to gold as they run; Burning hot is the ground, liquid gold is the air; Whoever looks round sees Eternity there.” John Clare, “Autumn”

Golden Hour by @indominusregina (Steve Rogers)

11. “I’d like to crack this safe, this cache of joy, Cramming my head with light, Dismembering every fraction like a toy. Then start, head-on and sure of being right, To make it all come true - This time, my way, and new.” Adrienne Rich, “Travail et Joie”

12. “open a book, turn to the story of a grand estate, a comet, a prince, and a woman who thinks she knows her own heart but is only looking through a window at a summer storm that might never end.” Barbara Hamby, “The Dream of the Dacha”

13. “Cheerful is the hearth, soft the matted floor; Not one shivering gust creeps through pane or door; The little lamp burns straight, its rays shoot strong and far: I trim it well, to be the wanderer’s guiding star.” Emily Brontë, “The Visionary”

14. “Sometimes when I’m lonely, Don’t know why, Keep thinkin’ I won’t be lonely By and by.” Langston Hughes, “Hope”

@captainchrisstan with Bucky Barnes

15. “you remind me of something like a firefly underneath my tongue with so much spark I am finally able to live out my dream of becoming some sort of lighthouse even though sometimes I fall back into a dark galaxy of faults.” Beyza Ozer, “To Summarize a Galaxy”

happy new year beautiful, i'm here to spread some love!!! in celebration of 2019 tag your 19 favorite blogs/mutuals 🎉

you did not just tell me to tag people I love, i have like a lot. Happy new year my sweets, may you be blessed with good health, enormous wealth, graduate, get a job, give yourself a gift (me), sleep better, eat better (pls i cannot stress on this enough!), get you a spa day by yourself, and just treat yourself… start the year with a de-stress, we have 364 days to go…

here’s my favourite people who run such magnificent blogs and people I have to talk to, on regular basis like taking my non-existent anti-depression pills:

@namjoonslion you knew you’re gonna get tagged, abby don’t even try to deny, and I probably never tell you how much you meant to me a lot, but I really do appreciate you, I love the spirits you have and our overall nothing-can-go-wrong VS but-it-might contra is something I hold dearly and I’m not sure why it worked out this long. We’re like Sadness & Joy pair in Disney Pixar’s Inside Out. And that’s just so cute now that I think of it. You walked into my life one day, and it’s like the sun came out. I feel like you’d give the best hug because you’re tol and I’m smol@magical-warlock my pisces, demi darling whom I love and rarely talk to nowadays, you always know how to cheer me up with some random ass text post of cute sayings and marvel things and I’m just wanting to catapult myself to Holland every time you send me a picture of your town. It’s honestly the best town that fits me. I would walk days with you and talk and hold hands, sigh. We shared a lot of stories together, and I feel like we’re both undergoing something very tough, I always know you have my back and you’ll have mine. Being associated to you is the best things that happened in my years in Tumblr and I truly mean it when I say I care about you.

@minseoltanggi baby fish! bat, you are by far the closest one to me of all my tumblr friends because we live in the same country and you’ve seen my face before. You are adorable af and I hope you don’t be scared of turning 15 soon, it’s an experience, you have to embrace it as you go and don’t worry too much. You are a smart little girl and have many potentials, so don’t let your fears shackle you down to earth because I want to see you be that Astronomy expert you wanted to become! And if you changed your mind mid-way that’s fine, too. I’m sorry that I can’t get on tumblr as often as I’d like and message you. I do hope your blankets are warm and your pillows are soft, every night.

@luciddrugs same age dudette, Alexa! I know we’ve not been acquainted until the last few months of 2018 and dare I say, you’re by far the most passionate blossoming ARMY I have ever met. You desire to know and understand Hoseok is beyond me, like wow, you helped me see another side of Hoseok and that’s something not many people could have done, and I sort of understand when you spazzed about him not getting a lot of attention, because TRUE DAT. I mean look at my man Namjoon, these two gets push back along with Jin sometimes and it saddens me. having another hyungline stan is ultimately a blessing, like, thank you for SCREAMING HOW MUCH YOU LOVE HOBI BECAUSE GURL YASSSSSSS… /two idiots screaming in the middles of the sea–flashbacks lmao)

@fangirlaholicxx Divvie. My other gun. My right-hand women. If yall read my writings i can’t say crappy anymore because that would be an insult to Div’s work its her you should thank, my writings starting from Catching Fire, was proof read by her. And if I don’t get Div squealing, don’t bet I’ll release any of the fics. She’s my fuel, my gasoline, she keeps me going, and is my personal cheerleader. She makes great moodboards and it’s a matter of time until she ripens to her full form and bless us with her endless creative tendencies, just watch. I love her…so much. I don’t think she knows that. Thanks for catching me when I fall. /seals love letter with a heart wax/

@submissive-bangtan caro, caro, CARO! I love your brain and the intricate words you use. You know a whole world I didn’t know about and it’s because of you I’ve learned new things. You’re always so generous with your knowledge and following you was the best thing I’ve ever done? Like I came as a sub bts enthusiast (a dying clan) and pledge loyalty, but you gave me a Pandora box of tricks and passion. I think you’re super cool and I’m always so shy to make first move, so when you answered my tags, it makes my heart bloom? Can someone have that much power? Germans, I tell you…sigh.

@yourladyhobi18 Luisa 💞🌹 we never actually spoke but endlessly tagging each other on posts of our knights and saviours, sometimes without context and we do it like it’s the most natural thing in the world and honestly I desired this kind of connection for the longest time, and I never knew I needed it until you came. I guess this is how two shy people become friends lmao.

@majestikblue you are a very mysterious one. You come unexpected and return when you desired. You always sends the nicest text out of nowhere and I’m always smiling when I see your texts?? Like how do you always know me going through tough times, did you put a camera on me?? Should I be staring at the corners so you could see me kiss you or what? I don’t even catch your name, and I don’t think I’ve ever asked…what kind of friendship is this, Anissa? I just want to say I appreciate you and your existence, please don’t ever change.

@lovethyfandoms2 how could I forget you and Digby when you’re the first person to actually come and talk to me. I know you’re super busy at college now, and I wish you all the best. I hold the memories and conversations we had, close to my heart and will never forget them. Happy New Year, Josie. And it all began with a random ass link you accidently sent me haha, I remembered that lmao, I was so confused. Do all friendship began this weird though, I wonder haha! Josie, survive made it out 2018! Woo woo!

Nothing less important, in fact! Very important people that I cannot possibly forget ever, is my lovelies, whom I dearly appreciate and desire to protect forever and always, may this year bring you more positive hopes and help you dream, gives you something to smile for, and I have nothing else to offer but my stories and the comfort they bring, but should you feel the need to talk to me, come any time…

@rapmooni @tinyjjks @kai-tashi @monosgf @babybee05 @leesuzy09 @seokjins-epiphany @hobi-isadaydream @zynnami @verracotta @joonraw @seoulso @bloodyspell @8xxakiraxx8 @therealredraven @ursulabtslover @triviamang

I plan to make a separate post for this, and have more affectionate things to say, but if you’re not mentioned here, please don’t feel upset… I know most of you hide behind the comfort of an anon, and that’s okay. But If you’re reading this and felt like you are invincible? You’re not, I see you, I recognise you. And I appreciate every each and every one of you. I keep you in my thoughts when I see you reblog my writings and say nice things in the tags, and when you like my drunk depressive posts. I know you guys are wonderful people with good hearts. You’re the REAL reason why I began, continue and desire to write, I hope I’ll be able to do more in the future. I have so many more people to thank, and I’d personally shake each of your hands and give you a hug if I could and know your face.

Thank you for seeing me, thank you for noticing me, thank you for listening to my stories. Thank you for a wholesome end of 2018 and here’s to a beautiful start in 2019. 🥂 (i’m buying sodas and pizzas for us all) happy fucking new year babes

Because the adorable @dairxoxo tagged me. xox

1.) Nicknames - back in my army days, pokemon. My sis calls me Alissy. My BFF uses an assortment of endearments, including 'chicklet’. 2.) Gender - female 3.) Star sign - Gemini 4.) Height - 1.50 meters 5.) Time - 16:50 6.) Birthday - June 5th 7.) Favorite band - I’m so bad at this. Probably Queen were the first act I’ve liked as a band 8.) Favorite solo artist - I have no idea how to answer this. Just, how do people choose? Currently, I’m re-listening to a lot of Leonard Cohen, so let’s go with the poet of singers! 9.) Song stuck in my head - You Want It Darker / Leonard Cohen 10.) Last movie you watched - Sully (after I’ve heard a fascinating lecture about it. Highly recommend it) 11.) Last show you watched - I saw some Tumblr posts that reminded me I need to catch up on Once Upon a Time. 12.) When did I create my blog - September 2011, though I didn’t really start using the site until much later. 13.) What do I post - who the hell knows? Right now it’s mostly Robron love, though I will always come back every once in a while to Bruce Wayne’s epic love for Dick Grayson, then there’s random posts about whatever catches my fancy thrown in here and there. 14.) Last thing I googled - mmm, I *think* it was the places in the Bible where you can find a certain quote, a form of swearing. The Bible is such a rich source for all of your Drama Queen needs. :D 15.) Do you have other blogs - yes. I made another one for political posts a while back, before I discovered you can also have side blogs from the same account and it’s much more comfortable. 17.) Why did you choose your url - aaah, matan4il is the nickname I chose for my email back when I was in high school and I’ve stuck by it. I’m too old for any confusing new nicknames... 20.) Favorite colors - yellow, blue, purple 21.) Average hours of sleep - it ranges between 0 and my record of 22/3. 22.) Lucky number - I like 7. 23.) Instruments I played - the flute and the electric organ. 24.) What am I wearing - green T-shirt 25.) How many blankets I sleep - one 26.) Dream job - I work as a tour guide and most days I really love it. I also used to work as a kindergarten teacher and adored that too. Basically, anything where I feel like I’m helping people, I’m good. 27.) Dream trip - England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales following in the footsteps of my favorite writers. 28.) Favorite food - Pasta is good. Also a Romanian dish called mamaliga (I don’t have the appropriate special letters on this keyboard, so you can see and hear the name on that link). 30.) Favorite song - again, how do people choose just one? There just isn’t *one* song that encapsulates everything I get and need from music. I’ll give you just one of my many favorites, from the same current Leonard Cohen kick: Famous Blue Rain by Leonard (covered by Joan Baez, the first version of this song I ever heard), where L writes to a friend that his girlfriend cheated with and you know what I love? That even though he’s obviously hurt, Leonard ends up thanking him - yes, and thanks for the pain you took from her eyes, I thought it was there for good, so I never really tried. Man, when I first heard this song decades ago, I had never heard such emotional complexity before, a song where things weren’t either black or white. I was instantly in love with Leonard. Tagging: I have no idea who has and has not done this, but I would love to hear from @thatgirlchantee, @irisnsc, @isabellaofparma, @beautifulhusbands, @amandaj718, @youslicetheginger, @stulot, @smittenwithsugden, @robronalways, @dazzamre, @heartneverliez, @scrapyardboyfriends, @believeyourmagic, @fakehappyaaron, @jewishpolitics, @noavice, @lizzzzoo, @ryanhawleysthighs, @robron-sugdendingle and @afraschatz (Caro, just ignore the music questions or substitute them for something else).

Tadpole Treble Review

Script for my upcoming review video on Tadpole Treble for Wii U and Steam

I have almost 700 games on steam and it shouldn’t surprise you to know that most of them would be indie games. I’ve slowly obtained these games through steam sales and humble bundles. Therefore, I didn’t really get a lot of them through the desire to play them. While most indie games disappoint me and don’t really offer something for me to be interested, a small team lead by two brothers really interested me in their rhythm game so much that I had to sink my teeth into it.

Tadpole treble, released by Bit-finity games in 2016 for Steam and Wii U. I only knew about this game through the man, the myth, the legend; Matthew Taranto. He’s well known for creating the popular webcomic BrawlintheFamily. Which I read since I was in high school every update up until its conclusion in 2014. During that time he would experiment with his game and publish demos to his website. After the end of his comic he, his brother, and Dane Caro launched their very own Kickstarter with a fair amount of success. I mean 34k out of 30k is plenty impressive.

Tadpole Treble, a game I absolutely had to purchase during launch, is a simple rhythm game where you’re a small tadpole named Baton. Get used to the puns folks, the whole game is full of them. You, as a tadpole, emerge from your egg dodging notes, collecting bubbles, and smacking bamboo sticks to some catchy tunes only to be caught by a hungry pelican. Out of sheer determination and willpower you somehow ram your way out of the pelican’s mouth and to freedom below. Unfortunately you’ve been dropped onto the top of a mountain. Now you need to go through levels dodging colorful trout, hungry turtles, pixelated ducks, pesky mosquitoes, frightening barracudas, rolling boulders, chilling ice water, obese piranhas, sharp-shooting crawfish, and deadly saltwater.

Throughout your story you’ll meet some extremely loveable characters. Outside your parents there is Etude the bullfrog, the dusty Beatle and his snail Amigos, your Pelican..., and Sonata the Tadpole. I need to talk about Sonata the tadpole. His level, Midnight Bayou, is a level where he sings a love song to you. Not to mention, he’s voiced by none other than Matthew Taranto. I GET TO BE SERENADED TO BY MATTHEW TARANTO IN TADPOLE FORM. How could that be any better?! You should also listen to Thunder Creek. The tune is incredibly catchy and fun to sing along to.

When Baton returns home she sees that some kind of oil has begun to pollute her home. We learn that a plane has crashed into the bay causing an oil spill damaging the wildlife. Baton decides to take charge and do what she can to save her family’s home. The final level is a boss-fight that I honestly cannot agree with. The final fight is with a robot named ELE-94. This fight wants you to first strike each chord enough times to break it. I’ll give this phase a pass even though I wasn’t able to realize what you needed to do at first. The next phase wanted you to hit symbols to bounce up and hit a random hanging egg. Why is the egg there? I don’t know. Why does it hurt ELE? I couldn’t tell you. If it was explained in the story somewhere, I must have missed it. The last phase is obnoxious, but really easy when you know what you’re supposed to do. Its called “Another Refrain” for a reason. ELE will try to burn you with a lighter while she sings on loop. If it's not super obvious to you, you need to smack the lighter back at her. However that does nothing. You need to wait until you see her spark the lighter and then you can hurt damage her. Only after doing so you can save your home for your family.

Lets jump into the gameplay. You’re a baby tadpole swimming along a music scale in the water dodging music notes, enemies, and hazards. While collecting points for your score, food, and bubbles. Bubbles are your main currency in this game. You collect them to bring to Etude the bullfrog for extra goodies and features. Like a music player and a creature catalog. Etude also mentions that he wishes for you to bring him challenge flies. In order to acquire these rare and endangered flies to feed to an obese frog you must beat each level with a level specific challenge. Such as hit all of the golden objects in barracuda caverns, never leave the deadly water in saltwater cape, or smack every single freakin’ bamboo stick in chip-tune lagoon. I absolutely loath Piranha Jungle. You’re required to not take a single piece of damage to get this fly. I wouldn’t even bother with this level if not for the reward for the flies.

Once you feed the famished over-sized bullfrog you’re treated with some news. Etude tells you of an area where some animals have gone missing. Being the courageous young tadpole, you leap into action to investigate. Upon your arrival you’re treated to a very large Kraken with a trident who seems to be having a very bad day and wants to make sure you also have a very bad day. And believe you me, he’s going to make sure you have a bad day. That endurance in Piranha Jungle was just training you for this level. You see these steam tags? THEY’RE LIES! This game is a bullet hell. Rhythm game, my ass. You need to dodge music notes, with absolutely zero health pick ups. They’ve brought back the lightning from Thunder Creek. Here’s a small hint to help with the cymbal timing. The ring around the cymbal the distance you have left, so use that to help you hit it. Watch out for the big ol’ tentacles. The hitbox can feel somewhat odd. This level didn’t flow nearly as smoothly as the other levels. I think I would have had more fun doing the Sans fight from Undertale again. But I don’t think Matthew intended this to be a scored level so he left that out. Which I believe would be a fair decision. After all, it seems as if this fight was a bonus Kickstarter goal made by one amazing person who pledged $2,000. Thanks man. Thanks a lot for this hell.

The last thing I need to discuss is the composition mode; the big feature of the game. It is what was advertised the most. I’m sure everyone is familiar with the old Mario paint style music creator. Well this one is much more detailed, has more instruments, and can make music more properly. I honestly wasn’t interested at the time to make my own songs. I was pretty worn out from the kraken fight. So I went online to try and find some music. While I’m currently playing the Wii U version, and using composition mode is better on the Wii U, I have to say that sharing music is pretty crummy on both versions. The Wii U version wants you either load them from a file source or scan a QR code. Now that's all well and good, but I simply cannot find any quality QR codes online. Through some searching, I managed to find a few on the old Bit-finity forums. Which has since been downed in Russian spam-bots and fitness advertisements. The steam version isn’t any better. They use the same method only with a webcam to function like the Wii U’s camera. This would work way better if they had steam workshop support. A dev post did say that they would be looking into it last September, but at this rate I highly doubt that will come to be. It's a real shame this mode might be wasted. I’ll try to compose some music and post it here in the coming weeks if I have the time. If you want an example of the the composition mode can do, I’ll leave some links to some YouTube videos posted on the Bit-finity YouTube page.

So that’s Tadpole Treble. An overall enjoyable game that is so incredibly relaxing (bar the bonus stage) that I had to purchase it on both platforms. It’s very disappointing that the composition mode might go underutilized, but hopefully the Taranto brothers port this game to the switch and give it another chance. Hell, I’d buy a physical release. Regardless, thank you for listening to my Tadpole Treble review, I really love writing these. And Matthew, if you ever need a duet partner. I’m your guy.
