To Call You Mine

Warnings: none, all fluff!
Word count: 1650 Nat Masterlist Marvel Masterlist TCYM Masterlist
As everyone gathers in Maximoffs living room, watching the tv in anticipation you can’t help but gaze at your loving mate and pup instead. You can’t believe how much your life has changed this year, these last few months specifically. You've gotten everything you wanted. Natasha was yours now, Dima was too and now he has a sibling on the way. You almost couldn’t believe it, but the way the Omega looks at you constantly reminds you that it is indeed true.
“What are you thinking about moya lyubov'(my love)?” your mate asks as she catches the way you're looking at her
You smile and wrap an arm around her waist, pulling her and your pup closer, “Just that I'm extremely lucky to be able to call you mine”
She practically melts at your admission and a small purr erupts from her, “I’m the lucky one”
Yelena rolls her eyes at the two of you, “Ick, you're both being so gushy again”
Wanda elbow her, “Stop testing them, it’s incredibly cute to see them interact”
“Maybe for you who doesn’t see them too often, but I see them all over each other almost constantly” the blonde retorts, causing your Omega to blush
Carol laughs, “Still so easy to fluster when it comes to Y/n, eh Romanoff?”
You look down at your mate, “You used to get flustered over me?”
“Only all the time” Clint adds with a smirk causing your Omega to groan
“Oh leave them be. Wanda and Vis are always off somewhere cuddling and Carol, you're always sneaking off to spend time with Val and Maria” Jenn reminds them
A blush settles on Wanda's cheeks as Vision rubs his neck in embarrassment, and Clint laughs at the stunned expression the police Captain wears and the glare she sends his way has no doubt scared many a criminal she's had in interrogation.
“Shut it Barton. Don’t even get me started on how bad you are with Laura”
He huffs and playfully crosses his arms, “I am not”
“Sure, that's why you had two out of three pups so soon after each other” you tease, earning yourself a giggle from Nat and a sour look from her best friend
“Alright alright” Vis says with a raise of his hands, “If we keep up with the playful banter we’ll all miss the reason we're all gathered here in the first place.”
“Vis is right” Jen agrees, turning her attention back to the tv
Carol nods, “Right, we watch the ball drop, then get back to annoying the shit out of each other.”
“You're terrible Danvers” Nat says with a smile that says otherwise
You shake your head at your best friend, “You get used to it”
“Guys” Wanda reprimands, reminding everyone to put a stop to the teasing for now and everyone settles down, their attention back on the screen as the countdown begins.
10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1, Happy New Year!!
The mated pairs all share loving kisses as the others cheer to greet the new year, and your mate giggles as her sister rolls her eyes and takes Dima from her.
“My poor plemyannik(nephew), let me get you away from your parents for a bit”
“I don’t hear him complaining” your mate teases
Yelena scoffs, “Only because he can not talk yet”
“He can talk” you retort, “He calls us Mama all the time”
The Beta glares, “You know that is not the kind of talking I meant. Now shush and let me take him for snacks and apple juice” You both laugh as she heads off to the kitchen, Wanda and Vision following her in order to grab the gathering some drinks of their own.
With her arms now free Natasha loops them around your waist, pulling herself closer to you. You hold her tightly as she purrs and she's nearly overwhelmed by the love she feels between the two of you. The pup growing inside her is further proof of this love, and she honestly couldn’t be happier. Especially so considering Bruce still didn’t seem to know her location, and even if he did Jen made sure that Nat had a restraining order against him. She knew if he found her and came anywhere near then not only would you beat his ass and have Carol arrest him again, but his own cousin would have him put away for at least a few years and this gave her a sense of peace.
She's brought from these thoughts as her sister and the Maximoffs return to the room. Yelena takes a seat with her nephew, allowing him to sip on his apple juice as she shares some of the snack she brought out for them and Wanda begins to dutifully pass out the drinks. By the time she gets to the two of you you're now sitting on the same couch as Yelena.
“Here you guys go” the Omega says with a smile, handing you and your mate your glasses
“Thanks Wans” Nat says, only taking the drink to be able to partake in the traditional toast your friend group does
Once everyone has their drinks the brunette heads back over to her Alpha, he smiles and loops an arm around her shoulder before looking around the room at all his friends, “Thank you everyone for joining us again this year. Wanda and I are very glad you could all make it. So here's to our friendship, our relationships with our mates, the health of the Danvers, Barton and Romanoff pups, and to this new year together”
Everyone clinks their glasses together and takes a sip of their drinks, with the exception of two people. Wanda and Natasha. This goes unnoticed by your mate, she's too busy trying to get you to not chug your drink in order to drink hers as well. Wanda however notices right away and quickly determines that her best friend isn’t drinking for the same reason she isn’t.
“Oh my god, Nat!” she practically squeals, running over to the redhead, “Are you with pup again?” Everyone's gaze turns to your mate and you don’t miss the look of excitement in Yelena's eyes.
Your Omega smiles and grabs your hand, “I am, Y/n and I are expecting”
Everyone cheers in congratulations, though Nat can hardly hear it as her best friend's body embraces her tightly. Wanda can’t help the few tears that form in her eyes, not only because of her happiness for her best friend finally getting the life she has always wanted and deserved, but also because this means their pups will be the same age.
She pulls back enough to be able to look at your mate properly, “Vis and I are expecting too”
Your friend group cheers again and Nats eyes go wide, “You are? Really?”
“Yes!” the other Omega says with an excited nod, “This is so wonderful Nat! I thought my pup would only have Dima as a friend, but now they’ll have two friends”
Your mate smiles, “Our pups will all be best friends just like us”
“What am I then, chopped liver?” Clint teases
“Oh hush Barton” Yelena chides, “Sestra(sister), I’m very happy for you. And you too, Y/n.”
“Thanks Lena, we couldn't be happier” you reply, letting your hand come to rest on Nats barely there bump
“Do you hear this plemyannik(nephew)?” the blond asks, looking down at him, “You're going to be a big brother!”
The pup excitedly babbles as if he understands his Aunties words causing you all to laugh and smile at him, which in turn causes a smile to spread across his face as well.
“He’s going to be an amazing big brother”
Around an hour later you finally pull into your garage, and your mate chuckles softly at the snoozing pup in the back seat.
“Poor little guy” you exclaim as you unbuckle him, “We kept him up so late tonight”
Nat nods, “We did, but hopefully that just means he’ll sleep in tomorrow”
You nod in agreement before taking him upstairs and tucking him in. Once you make your way back downstairs you're surprised to see Natasha not in the bedroom, but standing there in front of the still decorated Christmas tree that Liho sleeps under.
“Everything ok Natty?”
She turns to you, a tearful smile on her face, “Everything is so perfect Y/n. Thank you for giving Dima an amazing first Christmas, and giving me the best Christmas I’ve ever had”
You don’t hesitate to kiss her, “Of course baby, but you don’t have to thank me for that. It’s my pleasure to do such things for you both”
“I know” she nods, “But you deserved to be thanked for taking such good care of us and loving us so well”
You smile softly and wrap your arms around her waist, “I love you, my Omega”
“I love you too, my Alpha, always will.”
Unbeknownst to you however, in a car across the street someone watches this interaction through your open blinds, and what he sees both angers and disgusts him.
“I knew it” the Alpha grows to himself, “That lying bitch. She had my Omega and pup this whole time. And if Nat thinks I’m just going to sit here and let another, less able Alpha raise my son then she has another thing coming.”
He takes out his phone and quickly sends off a few texts to an unsaved number before he glances back in your house's direction. He seethes with rage as he sees you both embrace in a heated kiss causing his grip on the steering wheel to tighten. But what he sees next is nearly enough to make him snap the thing in half. There, plain as day on your neck is a mark. You were claimed. His Omega claimed you, not him.
“You're so fucking dead Y/n.”

BLOODY CROW VS ALBERICH
Who is winning the edgelord contest?
LMAO. I see you still haven't learned to stop pitting the kings against each other sjffhdsd Well, I actually think Alberich might win this one..? xD
Okay, so, Bloody Crow is, indeed, edgy: he is one of the guardians of the vampire queen using the sword that he powers up with the blood and that keeps draining from his life force, he is heavily implied to hunt the hunters themselves to get the blood dregs from them (hence the affiliation, and the heresy to what Hunters of Hunters should REALLY do; feed corpses to the birds). His look ALONE is pretty edgy; he has all the Cainhurst drip but chest piece is the cape inspired by crow feathers, and he is also one of like, three survivors of the castle ruined by religious fanatics, still latching onto what he knew despite not being able to return (Annalise tells us we are her only affiliate after we contract with her).
So like, yeah, why would Alberich win? Because of the term you used, lol! xD 'Edgelord' would imply like... humorously, comically, unnecessarily over-the-top with angst and blood and all against the society, and honestly, Crow is more serious (dare I say, tragic?) character than meets the eye! Besides, the 'edginess' of his weapons is reduced because it is just normal covenant weapon for them!
Alberich though? Like I mentioned, if you remove his hat in alteration of outfits, you can see similar process with Azur and Lusat, but with bloody glintstones instead of their comet ones. I don't even know whether he did that to himself, or he was likewise an exiled criminal; he uses cold sorceries as well, and Staff of the Sinner/Guilty/whatever? I feel as though nothing about his data suggesting any eyes injury or absence (unlike, say, with the sisters) implies that he inflicted the blindness on himself by never taking the bandage, because he JUST decided bloody sorcery was cooler, hahaha. Regardless of the interpretation, dude is edgy. Again, the blood glintstones are reviled as they're brought by stabbing (if not killing) other people! The dude also uses his own blood to create spiky bloody vines - sorry, but this is MORE edgy than simply coating the sword in the blood that is already IN the sheath; Crow doesn't even STAB himself, unlike Maria!
But more importantly? He is said to be asocial in general, keeping away from people. ...and he was driven mad by "jeering tongues", whereas dropping an item Taunter's Tongue that is golden in color, whereas Ensha is stated to have golden bones, whereas he doesn't speak, so I conclude Alberich cut out his tongue for talking shit about him! Like!! Okay, look, that is VERY edgy! Like, unnecessary over-the-top reaction, that I think Bloody Crow would not have had! In fact, I believe Crow might even enjoy it if people talk shit about him? And I feel like Crow has more merit to needing to keep away from the society with his story and goals, whereas Alberich is more on the "studying heretical magic that those plebs just won't "understand"" side!
^^^ that's Alberich with blood glintstones when he appears in the Roundtable Hold frrrrrr fhdhds xddd
...but also, Alberich is wearing blood glintstones on his clothes. It is like, showing off how many people he stabbed, since blood turns into them. Crow doesn't really show off his 'crimes' like that.
Honorable mentions: 1) Me and @val-of-the-north headcanon that Alberich enjoys consuming blood, like adding it in the tea or whatnot, and that is WITHOUT any vampiric implications, which is edgier 2) If theory about Gideon being his father holds up, that'd give Alberich HEAVY daddy issues, which would add to the angstiness. 3) I just... like, if I had to choose which one of these characters would give a villain speech full of oddly specific, even petty grudges, I'd totally pick Alberich! I feel like Crow would either not even honor his opponent with a word unless seriously pissed off (by refusing to die fast enough? xD), or he would be kind of on point.
______________
Argh. This ask had no business being THIS hard. These characters do not even have a darn dialogue, I have to walk in the dark and base my judgement on headcanons. ;-; Please never do it again.
#ask replies#bloodborne#bloody crow of cainhurst#elden ring#mad tongue alberich#woe! fromsoft's superwholock be upon ye!#bloodborne headcanons#elden ring headcanons#this is not even my final form but i started to get frustrated by how hard this question was!#so sorry i will stop here!!!!#but you are welcomed to argue actually! i might have a bit of lacking perspectives here#maybe i am wrong or maybe I am right BUT missed a detail or two!#please help xd

Everything I read about it now that the run is done just makes Secret Invasion feel like a rushed ego project.
If the whole point of the last slate of movies was to introduce the next gen of heroes (Shang Chi, Kate Bishop, Yelena, etc) then it would have made sense to intro the "new Nick Fury". As in, Maria Hill. Who, in the comics, takes over SHIELD and becomes director. Also, in the comics, does a fair amount of stuff in the Secret Invasion storylines.
Really, why not? Is Sharon as The Power Broker and Val too many powerful women for the MCU? Is it not a proper MCU project if a woman doesn't die (did killing Soren off screen not meet that quota?)?
This very easily could have been the "Fury, you're too hurt to do this now, it's time to let someone else handle it" show that Hawkeye, Black Widow, and Quantumania were.
We also never got payoff on what, exactly, Nick and Maria were doing when they got dusted. Because clearly at some point after Ultron Maria left SI to work directly for Nick again and right before being dusted they talk about getting in contact with "control". And she's still working with (quietly former) CIA agent Ross outside of the US at the beginning of Secret Invasion, with the gadgets of organization, and is still on duty enough to go AWOL but not publicly enough that Talos and Soren can't casually impersonate them without issue.
Speaking of, how the hell does Maria Hill move around the world without being recognized. From the released SHIELD files, as an exec at Stark Industries, as the office face of the Avengers. To say nothing of all the congressional hearings she had to be at because she didn't have the cover of faking her death like Fury did.
Seriously, this could have been the set up for the new, improved SHIELD with Maria at the head, smaller but openly in existence, still the boots on the ground to SWORD's super specialized focus.
Because there is no Avengers organization anymore, Damage Control can't handle it and is too locally focused, and do they honestly think we're going to accept the Thunderbolts as the new guardians of Earth? (And does that read as just a pandering to fans project to anyone else?). What's the point of a new generation of heroes to team up when there is no mechanism to get them teamed up? Do they really think we're going to believe Fury wandering around recruiting new Avengers after how insensitive and incompetent they made him seem in Secret Invasion? Is there really going to be some big bad that draws Baby Ant and Shang Chi from SF and Bishop from NY and Yelena from anywhere in the world to wherever while conveniently not having to deal with their respective travel times? Or is that why Wong is still around? Magic portal travel.
It all feels like the sacrifice of trailing plot points and future coherence (much like the post credits of WandaVision was tossed out the window for Multiverse) for masturbatory indulgence and an over full release schedule.

there's so much to impact so i'll just go down the list of whats been announced (and leaked)
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (Feb 17, 2023)
i have no thoughts on this movie. i am excited for more Kang lore and for Cassie to be a bug (?) but that's about it. i hope Luis returns
Secret Invasion (Spring 2023)
okay so i get the Skrulls and Kree mixed up but after googling it i now remember the difference
i am honestly really excited for more Fury and Maria. i miss Fury and Maria had so much potential so i'm just. i'm vibing with this one
Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3 (May 5, 2023)
i'm only slightly more excited for this one than for Quantumania
i do remember hearing that this'll be basically the end of the GotG (feel free to correct me if i'm wrong) so i'm kinda sad but if it's anything like the other two films i'm so ready for this one
Echo (Summer 2023)
FUCK.
I'M SO
FUUUUUUUCK
Jessica Jones better show up at the end of this one >:(
but in all seriousness Echo seems like a really cool character and I can't wait to see and learn more about her (and see more of Fisk?)
Loki s2 (Summer 2023)
The Marvels (July 28, 2023)
I heard it was gonna be part musical?? idk i'm not looking forward to that part. could work with Joker but not with the Marvels, sorry
but! i am excited to see more Maria and Kamala
my theory is that Carol found the second bangle and that's how her and Kamala switched places
Blade (Nov 3, 2023)
tbh i know nothing about Blade other than he hunts vampires and Eternals was supposed to set this up
and also that there was already a Blade movie
should i watch the old Blade movie? was it good?
imagine if he kills Morbius in the movie.
Ironheart (Fall 2023)
i'm actually pretty excited for this one despite hardly knowing anything about the character!!
i know Riri is gonna be in Black Panther II so i bet it'll set this show up
Agatha: Coven of Chaos (Winter 2023/Early 2024)
ok imma be honest, i think i'm least excited for this one
idk! i liked Agatha as a one-off villain, i didn't really see her character going anywhere after WandaVision
i have no idea whats gonna happen in this show. is her husband finally gonna show up or
Daredevil: Born Again (Spring 2024)
- HOLY FUCKING SHIT
I'M SO FUCKING
I WANT TO PUKE (/pos)
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Captain America: New World Order (May 3, 2024)
FINALLY MY BOY SAM IS GETTING THE RECOGNITION HE DESERVES
I'M SO EXCITED FOR THIS ONE
i really fucking hope Bucky doesn't die, not only because he's been my comfort character for 8 years, but because i also want him to be in
Thunderbolts (July 26, 2024)
okay okay so i skimmed the wiki page for 616 Thunderbolts and this is the group i wanna see:
Zemo and Bucky as reluctant and hateful co-leaders (or one or the other as the leader, but i def want both to be in it)
John Walker as U.S. Agent and Yelena Belova as the Black Widow
(these four alone are such a fun combination and i cannot express how much i want them to be a group)
Kate Bishop (and maybe even Clint Barton!) as Hawkeye
bonus ones that don't make sense but would be fun: Taskmaster and Ghost
also, i know Val was Madame Hydra, but considering how she went to both John and Yelena, what if she's putting together the Thunderbolts?
Fantastic Four (Nov 8, 2024)
IF JOHN KRASINSKI ISNT MR FANTASTIC I DONT WANT IT!!!!!!
if Krasinski is Mr. Fantastic can Emily Blunt be Sue Storm pls
oh i'll also take it if Joe Keery is Human Torch
if none of those people are in the cast then I Don't Want It
Avengers: Kang Dynasty (May 2, 2025)
holy fucking SHIT
Avengers: Secret Wars (Nov 7, 2025)
I really really fucking hope this isnt supposed to be a sequel to Kang Dynasty
but!
i am!
very!
fucking!
excited!
Other thoughts on other announcements/leaks
after seeing the full She-Hulk trailer, i can safely say i am now more excited for this one than i previously was (it was the one i was least excited for lmao)
when is the black panther trailer supposed to drop i thought it was gonna get released like an hour ago sobs
no?? no Shang-Chi or Moon Knight news?? none?? come on Marvel y'all know those are the best ones. you can admit it.
i'm so fucking excited for Marvel: Zombies too i know that show is gonna be ELITE
so Spider-Man: Freshman Year is just gonna be another Spider-Man show i guess?? got me thinking it would be canon to the MCU
and i guess X-Men 97 is just a continuation of the 90s animated show so i'll have to watch that. it looks goofy and fun though
the Multiverse Saga. what a fucking power play

Choices LIs
I've done something like this before, but it was nearly three years ago, so it's time for an update. (Plus, I saw this floating around, and I was bored, so why not?)
Books with a single LI: I tend to default to the female version of any customizable LI, especially on a first playthrough. I'll sometimes romance a male LI with a male MC, but I rarely do m/f romances. The exception is A Very Scandalous Proposal; I don't like the Ava sprites, so I almost always choose Simon instead.
In this category, I like Trystan Thorne, Kieran, Dakota Winchester, Simon Montjoy, Manu Nakeli, and Kit Jackson. I feel pretty neutral toward Cassian Keane, Clarke, and Jacqueline Monroe. I don't like Sam Dalton. And the entire book Surrender can kindly fuck off.
Across the Void: Gonna be honest, despite having read this through at least twice, I wouldn't be able to tell you a thing about the LIs or their personalities. I think I went for Titania my first playthrough - or was it Kepler?
America's Most Eligible: Jen's my favorite here, though I'd like to try a run where I dump someone for Bianca.
Baby Bump: Myra.
Bachelorette Party: Aisha.
Big Sky Country: I love Juliette dearly, but sometimes my Hallmark-loving brain kicks in and I have to pick Sawyer.
Blades of Light and Shadow: All four are amazing and I love them. I love my ladies the best, but I have a soft spot for Tyril as well. I'd love a big polycule here.
Bloodbound: Kamilah takes the top spot, but Lily's a close second.
A Courtesan of Rome: Sabina and Syphax are tied as my favorites, and I'm becoming more fond of Cassius the more I play. I'd like Antony to go away forever, please.
The Crown and the Flame: For Kenna, I alternate between Val and Annelyse. For Dom, I prefer Sei.
Desire and Decorum: Annabelle, always.
Distant Shores: I actually tend to go for Edward here, surprisingly. Almost always with a male MC, though.
The Elementalists: Shreya or Aster.
Endless Summer: I've tried all four. With female MCs, I tend to lean toward Quinn. With male MCs, I like Estela or Sean.
Foreign Affairs: Either Tatum or Ayna.
The Freshman: Becca is my queen. I also like Kaitlyn and Zig, but it's hard to pass up Becca's route.
The Haunting of Braidwood Manor: Eleanor. Is there even really a choice here?
The Heist: Monaco: Sonia. This is one of the few instances where a guaranteed female character is written as the "main" love interest, and she's amazing and I love her romance route.
Hero: Eva.
High School Story: Emma or Maria.
High School Story: Class Act: Skye.
Home for the Holidays: Holly.
Hot Couture: Luz.
Immortal Desires: Both. Both is good.
It Lives Beneath: Probably Imogen or Tom.
It Lives in the Woods: Andy or Ava.
Laws of Attraction: Aislinn.
LoveHacks: Ben.
Mother of the Year: I love all three equally. I literally cycle through them each time I play.
My Two First Loves: I went for Ava the first time, but I really love Noah as well.
Nightbound: Vera or Cal.
Open Heart: Jackie and Rafael are my favorites, but I think Bryce is awesome as well. I can't stand the other guy.
Passport to Romance: Um... Marisa, I suppose?
Perfect Match: Hayden, Sloane, and Alana. Though sometimes I'll go for the entire polycule, because I can.
Platinum: No strong preference here. Maybe Raleigh? Though I like Shane's vibes as well.
Queen B: Zoey, with a dose of flirting with Poppy.
Red Carpet Diaries: Teja, I guess, though the whole series is sort of meh for me.
Ride or Die: Probably Mona's at the top, though I have enjoyed doing Colt and Logan runs before.
Rising Tides: No preference. Honestly, I don't even remember who I chose the first time.
The Royal Masquerade: Kayden. Mostly because of the looks thing, honestly.
The Royal Romance: Hana. Though if I could choose Olivia, I'd be all over that.
Rules of Engagement: Dean for the MC, and Mira for the Party Twin.
Save the Date: Lindsay or Simon.
Slow Burn: Still playing for the first time, but so far I think I prefer Julia.
Sunkissed: Eliana.
The Unexpected Heiress: Gemma.
Veil of Secrets: Kate and Naomi.
Wishful Thinking: Jaime.
Wolf Bride: Morgan. Go away, wolf dude.
#playchoices#gw.text#can you tell that i'm gay#i do try the male romances more than i used to#but i still love me some choices ladies

A pianful goodbye
Last chapter for now? hooray. Gods i'm tired.
-----------------------
Felix found himself in a large, dark throne room. In the room with him were other figures, though he couldn’t make out who they were, since it looked like someone put a blur filter over everything.
“Hold your temper dear, things haven’t gone astray just yet.” A female voice spoke, coming from the figure sitting on the throne.
“But we would’ve caught him already if it wasn't for that Empusa to ruin it.” A male voice said, sounding dep and almost animalistic in nature. No doubt this was the larger figure standing in front of the person who was sitting on the throne.
“Adelaide made her choice, and paid the price for it. There was nothing we could’ve done.”
“But now he’sd heading straight to the camp.”
Which is exactly where we want him to be, for the time now at least.” The female voice explained in a calm tone, as if everything was going the way she <wanted.
Him, camp? Were they talking about Felix?
“What are you talking about?” The male voice asked.
“At the camp he’ll be trained and taught to master his powers.” The female voice claimed. “And honestly i’d rather have that than a soldier who can’t even hold a sword.
Soldier?
“Will he be ready when we get him?” The male voice then asked.
“I’m sure he will do his best.” The figure that the female voice came from, the one on the throne, then proceeded to turn her head into the direction of Felix’s point of view.
“Isn’t that right Felix?”
—--------------------------------------------
When Felix woke up he was in his mother’s car, still driving towards wherever they were going. As he looked out the window he could see that they were no longer driving on the highway. Felix then stretched out his arms, Feeling that Val was still sleeping around his neck.
“Did you sleep well?” His mother then proceeded to ask.
“Yeah,” Felix replied while yawning. “Just had a nightmare.” When Felix said that he could see that his mother’s hands were tightening around the steering wheel.
“I see.” She then replied.
The remainder of the journey was quiet, until finally the car stopped.
“Mmmhhh-what'sssss happening?” Val Asked as he woke up from Felix stepping out of the car.
“We’ve arrived I guess.” Felix replied.
As his mother grabbed the suitcase from the trunk of the car, Felix saw a man in a wheelchair on the other side of the road.
“Here you go sweety.” Felix’s mother said as she handed him his suitcase.
The two then proceeded to walk towards the man, who then spoke.
“Mr Diatrachí, welcome. We’ve been waiting for you.” He said as he held out his hand, which Filx then returned with a fist bump. The man smiled, then looked at Felix’s mother.
“Maria.” He greeted her.
“Horse.” Maria replied with a seeming sense of disdain.
Maria? Did Felix’s mom know this guy, and why did she call him horse?
“Hehe, I see your disliking for me hasn’t faded.” The man in the wheelchair said.
“Neither has my skill of archery.” Maria replied sternly. “So you better keep my son safe, or else.”
“We’ll do our best.”
Maria then looked at Felix, and smiled.
“
“You’re gonna be safe here okay.” She said as she put her hands on
Felix’s cheeks. “These people are gonna take care of you and you are gonna make lots of friends who are like you.”
“But,” Felix replied while looking in his mother’s eyes. “Will I see you again?”
“Of course Mílo, of course you will.” Maria said, tears starting to form in her eyes. “Just because you’re gonna be here for a while, doesn’t mean you’re gonna be here forever.”
She then kissed Felix’s forehead. “You’re going to have to be brave right now, okay?
“Okay.” Felix replied.
“Good” Maria said, and she hugged him for the final time.
Felix then felt sad as he saw his mother walk away towards the car. She then waved him a final goodbye as she got in. Felix was waving back as he saw his mother start the car, and drive away.
“Well,” The man said, who Felix had almost forgotten about. “Shall we?” He then proceeded to drive his wheelchair up the hill. Felix followed him.
As they went further up the hill, Felix began to see a very large statue. One that Felix immediately recognized as the Athena Parthenos, which he had once seen when he went to visit the replica of the temple in Nashville.
“Impressive.” Felix complimented. “looks almost like the original.”
“It is the original.” the Man said.
“Huh….wait what?”
They passed under an arch of sorts as Felix tried to catch up to the man.
When he finally managed to do that, Felix was in awe of the view he saw.
All around the area were buildings that looked like they plucked right out of ancient greece. Fountains, temples and even a whole amphitheater were dotted around the landscape.
“What is this place?” Felix asked in wonder.
“Felix, welcome to Camp Half-Blood.”
“Camp what no-horseman!” Felix jumped when he saw that the man in the wheelchair was now a full blown centaur.
“What the hay now?”
The man chuckled. “Never gets old”
“Who are you?” Felix asked, very much confused.
“My name is Chiron.” The centaur replied.
“Chiron,” Felix said. “like the one from the stories?”
“That’s the one. Now come along.”
Still confused, Felix decided to follow
—-----------------------------
As they kept on walking, Felix saw all sorts of crazy things. From kids walking around with swords to full blown Pegasi flying in the sky.
Finally they stoped at what looked like a forest cabin, just larger. Above the entrance was the symbol of a shoe with wings.
“Hermes?” Felix guessed.
“Good guess.” Chiron said. “This is the cabin for all the children of Hermes, and you.”
“Why, Hermes isn’t my dad, I think.” Felix replied.
“That might be true, but you’ll be staying here for now because this is also the cabin we use for the unclaimed demigod’s.” Chiron explained.
“Now, you have missed dinner, but it’s better if you just go inside and rest. In the meantime I will notify the cabin leader of your arrival.” With that, Chiron left.
When Felix opened the door, he saw that the cabin was empty, probably meaning that everyone else was off doing something. Quietly he walked inside and looked around. Felix spotted a bed that looked like no one was using it, so he put his suitcase next to it and sat down.
“What did i get myself into?” Felix asked himself.
“Adventure?” Val said, slithering onto the matressµ
“Maybe, but now I just wanna take a nap.”
Felix then laid down on the bed, and closed his eyes.

valentina “val” of castivya
she/her, into dudes, born in 1992
5’6”, long dark brown wavy unkempt hair, brown eyes, delicate features, wears glasses, looks like she hasn’t had a decent sleep in a week (probably true), wide hips and thighs + hip dips
Princess of Castivya (and a squishy human)
Castivya is a small fictional ~300 year old island country located in the Mediterranean, somewhere between Spain and Italy
previously part of Spain but eventually broke away
vibe is a combo of Spain, Italy, and Monaco; great for vacations + tourism is huge
more info to come!
Full name with title: Her Royal Highness Maria Valentina Leonora de los Santos de Saragosa y Montoya, Infanta of Castivya
2nd in line for the throne as of 2014
Also a scientist; starts her masters in biochemistry & molecular genetics in 2016 and eventually becomes a PhD candidate in the same field
Rational, introverted, and demure; a highly intelligent woman–an achiever since she was a child–whose own growth is very tempered by her crippling self-doubt and perfectionist attitude; will blame herself for the tiniest mistake and never feels like what she does is enough; stubborn when she’s come to a decisions because of her very meticulous, rigid, and holistic decision making process (like be ready with a 20 slide ppt with properly cited references if you want to convince her) but is humble enough to admit her mistakes; very nerdy, very sweet, and very good at pretending she likes people; mentally corrects your grammar
Loves learning and is totally fine with being holed up in a lab doing work but will ignore basic necessities like eating, sleeping, and drinking to finish a task; also loves her people and all that she gains/learns/does is for her country’s benefit
“I overthink…therefore…I overam” but also “I don’t need sleep; I need answers”
Does not believe in magic and the supernatural–she’s a woman of science through and through; has an ongoing existential crisis when she finds out
A good girl, think Sandy Olsson from Grease
Her street smarts kinda suck and she can be overly trusting
Terrible taste in men and will jump headfirst into a bad relationship (against her better judgment–pls don’t flirt with her she is delicate and foolish)
Goes to the US incognito for college; ends up in Chicago in 2015 as a researcher for a scientist she interned for (they discovered something which they think is proof of either a new species of human or the human race is simply evolving…when honestly it’s just a supernatural creature)
Becomes heir presumptive to the Castivyan throne in 2020 and eventually ascends to it in her early/mid 40s
#val of castivya#valentina of castivya#i just really wanted a modern princess oc#oc intro#but here she is#i wanted her to have wattpad main character energy#i am not going to tag her with her whole name

What are your expectations for S2 of Blindspotting?
Ask is from a couple days ago but it’s very fitting for right now!!
- I NEED to see Ashley go more in depth as to why she isn’t angry at Miles and why she blames herself for his being in jail. I’m pretty sure we can all imply why but it bothers me that they just skimmed over the fact that she dropped that “all because YOU did ME a favour” line
- I also need to see Miles and Ashley actually hold eachother?? Because the only time we see that (non ghost!miles) is in episode one and I am YEARNING
- I really want to see what happens to Earl. Knowing D and R they probably won’t make it seem all rainbows and sunshine but I need to know what happens to him (and if James gets fired bc he deserves)
- More Trish and Ashley now they they’re officially sisters!! Although i’m still boggled as to how a bit of shrooms magically cured all their issues lol. I’d love to hear them just talk their past issues out woman to woman without any sugarcoating
- More Janelle and Ashley too ofc. I would love for them to do a “Back in Time” episode to when they were all young or teens and just see how their relationships were at such a young age. I would also love to see an episode dedicated to Mashley’s development because all they do is talk about their past but we haven’t got to see it firsthand
- Collin of course and what he so desperately needs to tell Miles when he gets back…hmm
- I know we’re supposed to hate her but I really wanna know how my girl Val is doing 😩 miss ha
- Janelle dropping that bomb in the last ep was so uncalled for bc now i need to know what the hell Mustafa did to her??? like why leave us hanging like that
- Speaking of Janelle I need some sort of love confession between her and Earl cause…they really served roommates to lovers and I need to win
- I would love to see more characters expand and dive into verse or other types of art. Seeing that with Earl was insane and unexpected so I truly hope they try it with other characters
- I’d love to see Sean/Atticus in more individual scenes tackling his feelings w/ his dad being in jail. Atticus ate episode 7 I fear
- More easter eggs!! I know it must’ve been hella hard for them to put it all together but honestly that’s what made the show so personal (especially to those who are from the Bay)
- I need to see more of those awesomeeeee side characters. They made the show WHOLE. Not only do I need them to keep Anthony as Yorkie (I’m begging) but I need to see Jacque, Nancy, Viv, Cuddie, Maria, Chonkie, Scotty, Carl (and his weird ass nonsense), Rob, and literally alll them cool side characters. I loved them
- And finally I would LOVE to see Miss Jasmine directing/shadowing since she said she really wants to 😊 more of her behind the camera is always amazing.

[ 🔪 ] short note
hi doll! i was listening to music earlier and when i got to this song you were the first person to come to mind, i think the specific lyric was
“handsome stranger, you have made her insides turn to jelly. she wants to dance around the room, kiss you until her lips turn blue, but handsome stranger, you have made her wonder, is she pretty?” - absolutely smitten, dodie
i really love the lyric but i think that song in particular reminded me of you. everything by dodie reminds me of you.
there was another song that reminded me of you, it’s from be more chill. it’s a guy that is kinda be into. don’t know what it was about this song, none of the lyrics make sense for you but it was you i was thinking of the whole time.
i think i’ve gotten very settled with the idea that songs relate to specific people, there has to be a science about this right? FAR AWAY by easha always reminds me of bay, it has yet to fail. Dear Maria Count Me In by all time low never fails to bring my sister into mind. Heart Attack by LOONA (which my sister has grown pretty fond of) is always val and for some reason Hopelessly Devoted to You always reminds me of zel, especially if it’s the glee version. Mari is Fine on the outside, i don’t know why and i can’t explain it. i think it’s the rhythm and beat it plays at, and also how often they talk about it. although FAR AWAY definitely incorporates some lyrics. i find yours to be the biggest phenomenon, because it’s never the same rhythm or beat, and for some reason you remind me of dodie songs. it may be mentality, who knows.
and i know this is a short note i’m writing but i have a lot more to say so might as well say it right?
i always await you to answer to messages or asks, i haven’t figured out why. i’m always shaking with anticipation to see what you’ve said. i value your opinion, i think that’s why i always want to know
something i do that bothers myself is zone out. as an experiment i’ll be sending you asks everyday for the rest of the week to see if it helps, i don’t think it will in all honestly, but it’ll keep my mind off it won’t it?
i find that ive been thinking about you a lot more now that i’m always in the car, i think it’s all the spare time. but i have come up with a few things i’d like is to do together.
i hope you like strawberries because i don’t. i really love to go strawberry picking though. you get all dirty and find the largest ones, it’s so fun. but because i don’t like strawberries i always end up letting my sister eat them or making vanilla cake to layer strawberries and cream on for baking practice. my parents like to put it on ice cream, but they forget i don’t like it and have to give it away. i bet you would like it, and you’d feel like a monarch just sitting there being fed strawberries and cake and ice cream.
we could go roll down on hills together. i find it really fun to just get lost in myself as i roll. my sister hates how the grass gets in her mouth though, i never told her to eat the grass. my parents think it’s dirty. i think you’d have fun in it with me, its a lovely experience.
i don’t want to drag this on too much so i’ll stop here, you doing bed to hear 5 hours worth of things i thought about doing with you.
i love you j.d
- i wish i could assign songs to different people like you do, though my VERY limited music taste prevents me from doing so. i prefer to assign objects or colours to people. the colour that always pops into my mind when i think of you is a very light mint green, and most of the things i associate with you are little trinkets i've found around my room or outside, like this little wooden peacock i have or a container of shells from back when i went to b.c and kept running up and down the beach trying to find crabs. (surprise!! i didn't find any.)
- i remember when i was little my mother had planted a few strawberry plants in our garden for my birthday when i was around six and i absolutely adored them!! everyday before school i would run out to the garden to check them for fruit and to water them, and when the fruit finally appeared i would pick as many strawberries my hands could carry and bring them inside. i think strawberry picking with you would be really fun, i'd bring two of those cottagecore wicker baskets for you and me to put strawberries in, i'd bring a camera too, though i think i'd just be taking photos of you.
- gah that'd be so much fun!! i do that too whenever me and my sister go out to a park or somewhere else, though she never does it with me. there's this park near where i used to live, it has this huge hill that kids go sledding on during the winter. i used to love to go sledding there because of how fast i would go (the sled in question was one of those long sheets of plastic with two holes at the front), though it was more times than none that i would find myself landing face first into the snow.
i love you too keiko <33

{ text; Val }: You have like 5 minutes, so better hurry! Yeah, he's probably changing my ring tone to "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?" as we speak, but I'll take a wrist slap over a bag pack
{ text; Val }: 😳 I think more like a friend date. We got caught under the mistletoe at the festival, and there was actual cartoon smoke behind her to get away from me. But I did buy some new polish for that armor, thanks for noticing. It didn't quite woo her though because when I offered to pay for our coffees, she pretty much said no thank you.
{ text; Val }: but still want to help me pick out something to wear?
( txt ; Maryan ) : No time to be gentle then. That's a hell of a lot better than getting the boot.
( txt ; Maryan ) : Let's see: There's coffee, which absolutely counts as a meal even if it's not a proper one, and you're going on a tour of Whitmore. That's the activity. Sounds very date-like to me.
( txt ; Maryan ) : Oooh, I didn't realize there was mistletoe in your meeting. Do tell, do tell. Well, I wouldn't take that too personally, honestly. When I was actively trying to have a love life, I always insisted on going halfsies. Of course, that was before one of my dates ditched me right in the middle of dinner because I started having a conversation with a spirit thinking they were one of the living and he stuck me with the entire bill. BUT my point stands. Some people don't believe in making one person pay for everything. Maybe she likes to pay for herself.
( txt ; Maryan ) : Definitely! We'll get your armor super glammed up.
#ofstrengthisms#( valerie novak ; )#( valerie & maryan tag ; )#answered#//lol she's like 'its totally a coffee date'

Just Roommates. Chapter 4.
Series Summary: These two college friends have had years to grow together. Each being the others support system, adventure buddy, movie night partner, and dorky roommates. That is until things start coming to a new light in their relationship. At least for him… Is there something else there? Is it possible? Were these feelings always there?
Pairing: (Modern) Bucky Barnes x Reader
Warning: Fluff, Adulting, sexy-times mentions, language.
Word Count: 2300+
Chapter 4:
The club the friend group had been invited to that night was new. It was considered an exciting, energetic, and modern top-of-the-line club. They were only getting in because Nat, a well-known PI (Private Investigator), had done a case for the owner.
The owners had a worker confess they knew someone from the inside giving their ideas to a competitor. Nat took on the investigation and found the rat in time for the business to be secure before opening or in the long run. In doing so, she saved the club owners tons of investment money from going under before it even started.
Wanda and Y/N got ready as planned at the former's house, and Nat and Maria met them outside the bar. The boys were coming at a different time, 30 minutes later than they were, which meant they got a small head start on the evening.
"Ok, girls!" Nat shouted over the music. "Bar's back there. The dance floor is over there. They have private rooms in the back that Hilde was kind enough to gift us with for the whole night if needed and tons of little other things to explore. She also said if we don't want that spot, we are more than welcome to move around," she instructed as she pointed out each of the spaces.
"Damn, Nat. This place is impressive," Wanda noted, looking around in surprise. "And by impressive, I mean, I'm not normally a club person, but I think I can get behind this place."
"Yeah, look at all the free real estate," Maria's shoulder-bumped Y/N as they scanned the young and attractive clientele already in the building and flooded in. Y/N laughed as Maria set her gaze on a group girls laughing and dancing.
"Who's the boss again?" Y/N shouted as the group maneuvered to the bar.
"Two brothers own it. Thor and Loki, but they leave the management and marketing jobs up to Brunhilde. She mainly goes by Val, though. She's the one that hired me."
"She going to be here tonight?" Wanda asked.
"Yeah, she said when we got here to start a tab under her name. Drinks are on her tonight. But only for the girls. Boys get two free ones before they have to start paying," Nat answered with a laugh, getting a collective cheer from the girls. "Update on the boy's ETA?"
Y/N fumbled through her small purse for her phone and pulled it up, looking at the group messages.
"Sam and Clint said they were on their way, and Bucky and Steve drove together and should be here..." She paused, seeing a new text from Bucky. "And it looks like Bucky forgot his wallet, so they had to turn around. They won't be here for another 30-45 min."
"Vis is also on his way. It's not really his scene, so he might stay for a little, and then we'll head out," Wanda added, putting her phone away.
"You're not going to stay with us when he leaves?"
"I'll see. He's been on business for the past two weeks, so we haven't had much time together. We can always come back here, though, right Nat?"
"For sure! Val's chill; honestly, I can see her blending well with the group. I was going to ask if I could invite her over for game night sometime soon so you guys can meet her," Nat smiled.
"Oh, please?" Y/N jumped. "Another girl for the group! We can thank her personally. This is really so much of her to do for a group of mostly strangers."
"She was happy to. The only requirement she asked of us is to have a good time and advertise it well," Nat winked. "Shall we start our list of reasons to come here by hitting the bar first?"
"You don't have to convince me," Maria jumped, rushing to the bar just feet away, with the rest of the girls laughing and following.
______
"How'd you manage to forget your wallet? It's one of the three things you check for before leaving any place. Phone, keys, wallet," Steve listed off, a finger ticking off each of the items.
"I don't need the lecture, Rogers. My mind's been scattered," Bucky groaned, hands in pockets as they walked along the crowded sidewalk.
"Yeah, happens when you have someone special on your mind," Steve mumbled with a slight shrug, looking around and anywhere but at Bucky.
"You annoy me to no end," Bucky gritted through his teeth, making sure Steve could feel his piercing eyes.
"Name," the bouncer requested once they approached the rope in the VIP area.
"Should be under Natasha Romanoff," Steve answered.
"Romanoff. Got ya. You guys are the last ones in," the bouncer said, moving to the side to let the two in and quickly moving back before the 100s lined up outside could make a move.
"See? Last ones," Steve mumbled.
"You're such a-"
"You see the girls or Sam and Clint?" Steve interrupted, now shouting over the overly loud music.
"Uh, no," Bucky straightened some to get a better look around. Steve doing the same next to him. "Oh wait! I think I see Maria and-"
He stopped mid-sentence, seeing her from behind and noticing right off the bat who it was. He wasn't sure how long he was staring, but long enough for Steve to nudge him out of his daze and laugh.
"Dude, you're drooling."
Bucky shook out his head and tried playing it off.
"Was not," he said in a higher pitch than he meant to and cleared his throat to play it off. "I was just trying to see if it was her or someone else. She doesn't normally dress like that..."
Y/N was wearing a deep red leather skirt with a black turtle neck halter top with a cleavage cut in the middle of her chest. It was tucked in and complemented with matching long-leather black boots that stopped just above her knees. Her figure was perfectly accented and would easily make any guy's mouth drop to the ground.
(This top with a dark red leather skirt ;)
Her hair, originally up in a ponytail or clip the last few days, now fell lusciously down her back and had a freshly blown in-the-wind effect to give it volume and seduction.
"You going to stop staring, or will my night consist solely of babysitting you?" Steve sighed, placing a heavy hand on the brunette's shoulder before he squeezed it.
"I'm fine," Bucky had to physically shake his head out of his thoughts. "I will be fine, I mean." He was just about to step into character when he noticed Y/N leaning on the bar top and laughing at something the bartender, who had now turned around, said. "Who's that?"
A guy with long blonde hair, sculpted like a god, and a giant puppy dog smile was leaning against the other side of the bar of Y/N with a fresh drink in hand. He slid it across and then leaned in closer to her.
"A bartender," Steve answered, looking at his friend, who had a hard glare on his face. "She's probably just playing flirt to get free drinks from the guy. It's not out of the normal for her or any of the girls to do. It's how we get hammered by the end of the night and spend half of what we plan to."
Bucky wanted Y/N's body language to do the opposite of what it was doing now and walk away entirely from the conversation, but instead, it copied the man whose arms looked like they could snap an exercise band if you tied it around them.
To make matters worse, she had that damn contagious smile on and was listening to something the man was saying before nodding and gasping and excitedly replying, only making the guy smile wider. Her joy was someone many were drawn to, and selfishly, he didn't want her to share it with anyone but himself.
"She doesn't do it that often," Bucky mumbled.
"Not often isn't never," Steve added. "Come on. Let's find the rest of the crew and figure out what we've missed so far." When Bucky didn't budge, he sighed and stood in front of him, cutting off his view of Y/N. "Remember? You aren't worried about it..."
"I'm not," Bucky replied unconvincingly, trying to persuade himself and Steve, but the pout never left his face.
"Then act like it," Steve stated, moving back to his side and guiding him to the location Nat had sent them with a hand on his shoulder.
_______
"Hey guys!" Nat shouted, motioning the two to a booth reserved for them close to the bar. "Nice of you to finally join us."
"Blame this one," Steve pointed a thumb back before sliding into the open half circle of the booth.
Bucky pushed his shoulder harshly as he sat next to him, only to angle himself to see the bartop better.
"How long have you guys been here?" Steve asked.
"Just under an hour. Nice, though, right?" Nat answered.
"Really nice. It's a cool little setup," Sam answered. "Why's it called Asgard?"
"Something having to do with family background and the two brothers who own it," Nat waved off. "I didn't ask many questions outside of the job, though."
"Who, uh, who's Y/N talking to?" Bucky spoke up, never having heard the conversation before him- too focused on the two at the bar.
"Um, just a bartender, I think. She went to get a drink a while ago, but she's been talking to him for at least 20 minutes now," Wanda answered, observing Bucky for a reaction.
"Nice. Nice. Cool, cool, cool," Bucky nodded, turning back to the table but continuously looking back in what he thought was a discreet manner.
"So, what all do we have planned for the night?" Steve asked, pulling the attention away from Bucky, everyone giving him looks from his awkwardness.
"Just to enjoy the free amenities! We have VIP access all night. So this place is our playground until we're ready to call it a night," Nat smiled, raising her beer bottle in cheers that everyone with a drink followed.
"Works for me. I'm going to go get some more drinks and check in with Y/N," Steve announced, pushing past Bucky, who stood with him, ready to follow. While everyone else continued the conversation, he pushed Bucky back. "You stay. I'm getting you some alcohol."
"But-"
"I'll figure it out. If you're so hell-bent on moving on, let me handle this," Steve chided quietly enough that the distracted group wouldn't hear.
Bucky sighed, looking back at the bar and seeing the two still giggling and having what looked like a good conversation. "Fine."
Steve was right. If he was trying to move on from the feelings he so badly wanted to deny, going and intruding on Y/N's conversation wasn't the best step, even if he couldn't care less and was willing to make a fool of himself to keep the man away from her.
Steve nodded, heading that way, and slowly approached Y/N from the side.
"Hey, doll," he said, smiling at her and placing a friendly hand on her back.
"Stevie!" she shouted, hugging him from her stool.
"The crew said you were getting a drink, and you were taking a while. I just wanted to check in," he said politely, nodding to the blonde behind the bar, who sent a kind smile and crossed his arms across his chest, showing his size.
"Oh, I'm fine! I got a little distracted," she blushed some. Something hard to see in the lighting, but Steve caught on. "Thor, this is my friend Steve. Steve, this is Thor. He and his brother own the place," she introduced.
"Oh, so you're the owner. That's crazy, man. Good for you guys," Steve expressed courteously, shaking hands with the man.
"You're telling me. It started as a far-off idea just a few years back, and now we're here." Thor smiled, returning the handshake before breaking off and looking back at Y/N. "Really glad we're here too."
"It's a hell of a place. Truly, not that I don't like places like this, but it's not a recurring scene for me, but this is all really nice," Y/N said, inching back to him.
"What is your scene then?" Thor questioned, getting closer to the bar again as if the two were magnets pulling back together.
"Depends on the mood, but I'd take a night in with a good movie and board games with friends any time."
"So, a simple lady?" he asked, and she nodded. "I like that. I like that a lot."
The two stared at each other, and Steve could feel the tension growing just as fast as his discomfort.
"I was actually going to get a few drinks before heading back. Any suggestions?" Steve spoke up, placing a hand on the bar as he leaned on it.
The two were quickly reminded of his presence, and Thor jumped back into his job.
"Well, we have a special tonight, but I'm technically not supposed to be back here. I just had to come over after seeing this eye-catching creature," Thor said, nodding his head to Y/N and again looking her straight in the eyes. She blushed and smiled before bashfully looking down. "Let me get someone who knows-"
"Thor!" a voice came from a door behind the bar.
The three turned, seeing a girl and a guy peeking out. The girl had caramel skin and beautiful lox with tiny gold clips throughout her hair. The man had jet-black hair that was longer like Thor's but shorter than the blondes. He was very attractive as well, but he had a more serious and mischievous look.
"I guess I have to go to some owner chores," Thor rolled his shoulders back. "Y/N, I believe all drinks are already on the house tonight for you and your friends, but any other time you want to stop in, I would be happy to grab you one myself."
"I would like that," Y/N agreed, propping her hand under her chin and leaning into the counter.
"Good. I hope to be seeing you around then," he said, handing over a business card, which Y/N took. Very smoothly, he took her hand and placed a kiss on the back before walking backward. "Have a good night. Steve, I trust you'll keep her from harm's way for the night," Thor nodded his way but never broke eye contact with her.
"Nice meeting you," Steve nodded with a tight smile, feeling awkward in this situation.
"Bye," Y/N waved up until he was gone. Her gaze stayed on the office door even after it shut. The only thing snapping her out of her thoughts was Steve clearing his throat.
"So the owner, huh?" Steve chuckled some.
"Yes. What about it?" Y/N grinned at him, noticing the tone.
"Nothing, nothing. Just the fact that whole interaction was extremely uncomfortable for me," Steve laughed, flagging down an actual bartender.
"Oh, hush," she rolled her eyes, smacking his arm playfully as she jumped up from the barstool she had gotten comfortable in. "He's a nice guy."
"Seems like it. Considering you've been over here for half an hour."
"Has it really been that long?" she asked, looking down at her phone. "Wow. It felt like 5 minutes."
Steve waved a bartender down and asked for drinks the group was partial to. It didn't take long for the bartender to start the order and add drink by drink to a circle platter for him to carry it all back with.
"Wanna help me take these drinks back to the table? Bucky's here."
"Sure, but uh, Steve?" she paused, pulling him closer to her by his arm.
"Yeah?" he questioned, quirking an eyebrow.
"Have you noticed anything off with B?"
"Why do you ask?" Steve asked in an intrigued tone.
"Nothing major, just during movie night, he was all fidgety and lost in his head," she sighed in an almost defeated tone, looking at the table where Bucky was currently distracted by Sam saying something stupid and making him shake his head.
"Uh, no. I haven't noticed anything," Steve answered, following her gaze.
"Oh, ok... Maybe I'm just overthinking it," she hummed, biting her lip at the predicament.
Steve could see the worry in her eyes, and he hated that he knew what was actually happening but couldn't say anything.
"If you feel like something isn't right, I'll keep an eye on him. Just to be sure," Steve added, hoping to ease her worries in some way.
"I appreciate it. He usually comes to me when something's wrong, but..." She paused, unsure how to explain the weird feeling in her gut. "I don't know. Something feels off."
"Well, don't worry about it tonight. Let me take care of him and figure it out. I've been doing it long enough. You just have fun, ok?"
"Yeah, ok. Let's get these drinks to the crew," she smiled, pushing on and walking to the table.

just finished off my first issue of the new killjoys series, national anthem, here are my thoughts
‼️ spoiler warning lol‼️
instantly dragged me head-fucking-first back into my mcr phase from three years ago. i am ruined. there is SO MUCH i immediately love about this series, from the incredible, poem-esce beginning to the incredible retro art style. the characters are just perfect - on the same wavelength as the others we know and love from previous iterations of kayjay media. mike milligram is edgier than i expected, which is just perfect, because i always felt poison and the gang were a bit too cheery for being stuck in a post-apocalyptic hellscape after surviving a massive war.
as for the plot? amazing. the writing is just as stunning as it was for TTLOTFK and national anthem immediately leaps into the story without delay. the dialogue fits the aesthetic of what we know about the kayjay universe perfectly and the story gives us more insight to what came before the analog wars and what life was like right after. maybe it’s just my interpretation (and of course this is just the first issue), but id love more about what the wars were ACTUALLY like, what it was like to fight in them. i still can’t figure out who exactly the enemy was because BLI and the weird, unseen but ever-present, unnamed oppressor are still in existence after the wars. might just be me, so if anyone knows where to find more on that, hmu. but honestly while reading it, i don’t care about the pieces im missing. it’s THAT good on its own.
the first issue opens with mike bleeding out, which deeply upset me because i do not like to see my favorite characters die, but it was done in such a beautiful way. we get to see how useless he feels - how he’s literally been tossed aside like the garbage he thinks he is - and then our story begins.
we meet the rest of the original fabulous killjoys (i imagine this is a prequel to party poison and the other comic, in my mind poison and val are “generations” following mike) and BOY, they’re incredible. the codes, red and blue, are (i assume) beta versions of the red and blue we see in TTLOTFK. kyle 100%, whose name we don’t learn in the first issue, is pretty reminiscent of kobra but maybe it’s just cuz he’s blond and rollin’ with mike. his design is very new and i totally dig it. animax is probably my favorite of this crew, though. he’s very much new and his design ROCKS. a color changing suit?? for real??? amazing. animax strikes me as the dad friend of the group (he tries to calm down blue and mike at the playground scene with the a.k.as)
SPEAKING of the a.k.as.... holy fuck. adore them. all of them are SO COOL and offer totally new insight to what it might have been like to crawl around in the zones right after the analog wars. so many new faces! new concepts! new headcanons! once again, im in love with their designs and concepts (god bless shaun simon and gerard) and it’s times like these that i wish i was a more talented artist.
another thing i really enjoyed is that the identity of some of the killjoys is more revealed and accessible. blue is called maria right before her (sobbing) death in mike’s arms and we see about halfway through that mike was a grocery store clerk. i’ve seen that red’s name is sophia in some official character design sheets, but we haven’t heard her name in the book yet. but to know that these were normal, real people in the world we live in gives the story a different, heavier context. these characters had their lives uprooted and torn to bits by a war they had to fight in. no wonder mike is so miserable and “screwed up”.
national anthem also immediately touches on trauma more than once and, in my interpretation of the underlying message, points out how trauma is an important tool in shaping who we are as individuals. the pretty subtle thing about the pill marketed to treat the affects of trauma is something that really fascinated me. how the antagonist of this series markets a pill that treats trauma but the side effects essentially make a person lose themselves, navigating life like a zombie.
i also loved the subtle callbacks to the original kayjay universe we know and love, with an appearance of tommy chow mein and a reference to the phoenix witch. however, ive got some criticisms.
first, was not a fan of the romance subplot between blue and mike. blue (and red, for that matter) are characters we know to be lesbians and i really don’t think that should be muddled with. even if blue is bisexual, even polyamorus, and has romantic connections to both mike and red, id personally rather have her stay with red exclusively. maybe it’s just my heterophobia /j but im not a fan. apparently she was even pregnant with mike’s child before she died? ehh.
second, and this is probably just because it’s the first issue, but i feel like there are a lot of questions unanswered. is this an AU or the same universe as TTLOTFK? if it’s the same, what is the timeline for mike milligram and party poison? do they exist at the same time or is party poison inspired by mike, who came before him? or do they exist completely separate? i hope i get these questions answered.
honestly, i may write up something of a review for each issue i read (i have three). it helps me remember what i read, anyway. kinda like an english essay. but overall, i really love this series and this universe. i kinda fell out of kayjays for a few reasons, but a lack of content was definitely one of them. i never thought i’d see killjoys media again and then gerard goes and presents us with this amazing series with new characters and a new story to delve into and it ROCKS.

Happy belated nameday, Maria! I hope you had a great (and safe) day! ♥
Sharon, I’m so sorry! It has taken me almost two months to thank you for this lovely birthday greeting. You are so sweet and amazing for remembering and I’m not sure I even wished you on your nameday 😞Thus, very belated wishes of a happy nameday to you as well ❤️
With that said, please sit down and enjoy a nice cup of tea and let me explain why it’s taken me this long to get back to you - and a few others.
It was mid-March when my country went into covid19 lockdown. Initially the only downside for my family and I were the cancelling of birthdays hehe; have a sister and brother who are also proud March children. As a part-time student taking classes online there wasn’t much change for me in that area. However, I also work part-time in a kitchen at a 24-hour institution for young adults with autism which means I come into contact with a lot of people regularly. Living with my parents who are both retired and old enough to be classified as being 'at-risk', my chef decided I was one of the first ones who needed to stay home. Why I live with my old parents is another story for another time 🙂 With the stay-at-home order I remember thinking 'cool, then maybe I can finally sit myself down and get some writing done.' Yeah, right...
That’s when other news started to tick in.
- In the UK, a friend in the NHS had been working +18 hrs shifts on the psychiatric ward until he too was sent home because someone needed to look after his mentally unstable mother.
- Another friend, in France, didn’t dare attend her beloved grandma’s funeral because she wasn’t sure if her fever was just a regular cold.
- An old friend (as in time we’ve known each other), lost his father after a long hard battle with cancer. To make it worse he lives and works in Cyprus but his parents live in Athens, Greece, and because of the travel restrictions he couldn’t fly back to accompany his mother to the funeral. (Ok, he could but then he’d have to be in quarantine at a hotel for 14 days before being allowed to visit his mom). He talks with her twice daily but still hasn’t been able to visit her.
I’m from a large, close-knit family and they mean the world to me. Friends are considered extended family as in ’there’s the fridge, there’s the loo, make yourself at home.’ So imagining a scenario where I couldn’t attend the funeral of a loved one hit me like a knife.
Around the time the stay-at-home order was put in place my dad had caught a cold. A cold that turned into pneumonia. A pneumonia that turned bad. A few days before my birthday he was admitted to the hospital because he began having trouble breathing. Up until that point he’d been at home, in bed and on antibiotics.The paramedics arrived quickly, wished him away and left me alone with my distraught mom. I’ll never forget the look in the driver's eyes when he reluctantly told my mom she couldn’t come along. He understood the pain his words inflicted but there was nothing anyone could do.
My dad was somewhere in a hospital, all alone, fighting for his life and there was nothing I could do or say to change that. We weren’t allowed to go visit. My mom would call daily to get updates and for a couple of weeks they weren’t exactly uplifting. The best news was that it wasn’t covid19. But, he was (briefly) put on a ventilator to help him breathe.
My mom distracted herself with cleaning and sorting and cooking etc. I, on the other hand, just shut down. I stopped reading, watching or listening to any kind of news, I might check a few of the notifications I got on twitter and insta, but I’d logged out of tumblr. I numbed my mind with movies and series - netflix became my new safe haven. I would have movies or a series running till I passed out from exhaustion.
Then one night there was a ping on my phone telling me there was a mail. It was from tumblr telling me that @tomakeitbeautifultolive had asked a question. It was so unexpected. Such a sweet, simple and kind gesture in the middle of my chaos was more than I knew how to handle so I cried. Silent tears and sniffles evolved into full blown sobbing, squeezing the pillow so tight I strangled the poor thing to death. Despite it sounding terrible how you wishing me a happy nameday caused me to cry myself to sleep, I want to thank you because I needed to get it out and you just happened to be the catalyst ❤️
Sorry for taking so long but I was so overwhelmed that even a simple thank you was too much for me 😞 The only one I’ve had bit of contact with is my awesome latino sis @helloimnotawesome but couldn’t even tell her because I didn’t know where to begin and honestly just wanted to pretend that the world only consisted of netflix and my bed. Sorry Val 😞
Started back at work again last Monday. Nice to be back but I also worry because the covid19 virus is still very much here, and what if I unknowingly bring it home? We live in a small town in a tourist area and since our government is talking of re-opening the borders it looks like we’ll get tourists this summer. Yes, they’re definitely needed and no, I don’t suspect or think badly of my European neighbours but..I’m still the one in the house who does the shopping and with more outsiders in the area the odds of the virus showing up here only increases. If from now on one of my parents get sick it will most likely be something I’ve brought home, and it scares me.
This turned out to be much longer than I thought it’d be. Sorry about that. If you stuck with me so far I’m very, very grateful.
I’ll end this on a happy note though: My dad is back home, safe and sound, and on the 28th of May he can celebrate his 75th birthday!
Once again, thank you Sharon! It meant more to me than I can ever express.

Ocean’s Eight AU ft. the Marvel Ladies:
I’m thinking Carol Danvers as Debby Ocean - maybe instead of a brother, it’s Fury that got her into this line of work and she wants to pull this heist partly in his honor.
Then, of course, Valkyrie would be Lou, 1. because Lou has so much BDE it’s insane, and so does Val 2. because Lou runs a watering down liquor business which also seems like something Val would do lol and 3. because Val in all those fabulous suits!!! yes please!!! and 4. because the Debby and Lou so very obviously have some sort of will they won’t they flirtationship and I love a good Carol/Valkyrie fic!
I was thinking Daphne Kluger could be Natasha Romanoff, I feel like Daphne is a very clever, cunning kind of gal, catching onto their plan very quickly and wanting in on it; also I love the idea of Natasha being down to become a criminal to make friends lol
As for Nine Ball, I’m thinking maybe Maria Hill, although with a bit of a characterization change because Maria Hill probably isn’t a stoner lmao. I originally thought Valkyrie could fit here v well, but I like her as Lou better. But I feel like Maria could be a hella helpful hacker, super smart and knows her shit about technology and stuff
Tammy is 100% Pepper Potts, no doubt about it. Looks like your typical suburban mom but is actually secretly a badass thief mastermind; and she would totally be amazing at the infiltration and seamlessly fitting in to the planning of the Met Gala
Next I was thinking Amita could be Shuri. Maybe a little young, but honestly Shuri would totally be the one that could take apart and put together the jewelry and she’d be so good at it
Constance took me a while but I was thinking maybe Gamora. I feel like out of the remaining marvel ladies she would be the most likely to have the pickpocket type of skillset
And then there’s Rose. This one I had so much trouble with because I kind of feel like none of the marvel ladies really match up with her. I was thinking maybe Wanda Maximoff just because I feel like Wanda could pull of the like almost nervousness that Rose has? But I honestly don’t know. Maybe she could be Peggy? I’m open to suggestions haha.
Claude Becker is another I wasn’t sure about. If I wanted to keep things in the Captain Marvel realm since Carol would be the like Head Honcho here then he could be Yon-Rogg. Since Debby’s trying to put Claude away for getting her sent to prison, I thought it would be fitting if it was Carol trying to get Yon-Rogg put away as revenge.
And then the little brief mention of Yen, the guy that helped Lou steal all the jewels from the exhibit, that would totally be Peter Parker 100% haha.
But anyways. I need this to happen like. So bad. You don’t even know. It would be so epic omg. Kinda want to take a crack at it myself but also wowie that would be A Lot of work hahaha.

Film Recommendations!
I thought I’d recommend some of my absolute favourite movies, because I love sharing my love of movies and just things in general with people. So, in no particular order, here is my list of recommendations:
1. Tombstone (1993)
So I just watched this movie a couple days ago and absolutely loved it. Yes, it is a western. Do you need to like westerns to watch it? Nope. That’s why it’s great. And, it’s based on real people/real events. I sobbed hysterically at the end, but I’m also a huge sap. Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday is perfection. I love love love him.
Here’s the plot summary: Wyatt Earp (Kurt Russell) and his brothers, Morgan (Bill Paxton) and Virgil (Sam Elliott), have left their gunslinger ways behind them to settle down and start a business in the town of Tombstone, Ariz. While they aren't looking to find trouble, trouble soon finds them when they become targets of the ruthless Cowboy gang. Now, together with Wyatt's best friend, Doc Holliday (Val Kilmer), the brothers pick up their guns once more to restore order to a lawless land.
Quotes:
“I’m your huckleberry.”
“Why, Johnny Ringo, you look like somebody just walked over your grave.”
“You gonna do somethin’ or just stand there and bleed?”
2. Fight Club (1999)
Okay. Okay. I just watched this one, too, and let me tell you. If you haven’t seen it/haven’t been spoiled for it, you have no idea what it’s really about. Honestly. It’s so fuckin’ weird and it blew my mind which is something I thought only M. Night Shyamalan could do. Wow, just. . . wow. Watch it, I implore you. I think everyone essentially knows the basic plot, but here it is if you want it, straight from google:
A depressed man (Edward Norton) suffering from insomnia meets a strange soap salesman named Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) and soon finds himself living in his squalid house after his perfect apartment is destroyed. The two bored men form an underground club with strict rules and fight other men who are fed up with their mundane lives. Their perfect partnership frays when Marla (Helena Bonham Carter), a fellow support group crasher, attracts Tyler's attention.
Quotes:
“You met me at a very strange time in my life.”
“The things you own end up owning you.”
“It’s only after we’ve lost everything that we’re free to do anything.”
3. Unbreakable (2000)
Speaking of M. Night Shyamalan. While every one of his movies I’ve seen (Split, Glass, Lady in the Water, The Visit) have all been fantastic and mind-blowing, Unbreakable still has my favourite premise and my favourite Shyamalan twist ending. I love this one, even though I don’t really care for Bruce Willis.
Plot summary: A security guard, having been the sole survivor of a high-fatality train crash, finds himself at the centre of a mysterious theory that explains his consistent physical good fortune. When news of his survival is made public, a man whose own body is excessively weak tracks him down in an attempt to explain his unique unbreakable nature.
Quotes:
“Do you know what the scariest thing is? To not know your place in this world. To not know why you’re here.”
4. This is the End (2013)
Seth Rogen. Jay Baruchel. James Franco. Jonah Hill. Danny McBride. Craig Robinson. Playing themselves. The apocalypse. Hilarity ensues. Cameos from Emma Watson, Kevin Hart, Michael Cera, Rihanna, Paul Rudd, Channing Tatum, Aziz Ansari, Jason Segel, Mindy Kaling, and the Backstreet Boys. It’s so funny, I absolutely love it.
Plot summary: In Hollywood, actor James Franco is throwing a party with a slew of celebrity pals. Among those in attendance are his buddies Jonah Hill, Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel, Danny McBride and Craig Robinson. Suddenly, an apocalypse of biblical proportions erupts, causing untold carnage among Tinseltown's elite and trapping Franco's party in his home. As the world they knew disintegrates outside, cabin fever and dwindling supplies threaten to tear the six friends apart.
Quotes:
“I don’t want to die at James Franco’s house.”
“Oh, no, no, no. I’m drinking and smoking weed. I’m on a cleanse, I’m not psychotic.”
“Take it easy, Dumbledore.”
5. You’ve Got Mail (1998)
Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks. This might be my favourite romantic comedy, and I watch a lot. They’re adorable, and Meg Ryan is everything. This one made me cry twice. Once from sadness, once from happiness. Also it has Dave Chappelle in it, who I absolutely love.
Plot summary: Struggling boutique bookseller Kathleen Kelly (Meg Ryan) hates Joe Fox (Tom Hanks), the owner of a corporate Foxbooks chain store that just moved in across the street. When they meet online, however, they begin an intense and anonymous Internet romance, oblivious of each other's true identity. Eventually Joe learns that the enchanting woman he's involved with is actually his business rival. He must now struggle to reconcile his real-life dislike for her with the cyber love he's come to feel.
Quotes:
“There’s the dream of someone else.”
“But I just wanted to say that all this nothing has meant more to me than so many somethings.”
“I love daisies. They’re so friendly. Don’t you think daisies are the friendliest flower?”
6. A Hard Day’s Night (1964)
For anyone who loves The Beatles. Here they play themselves, and show what their lives are like. It’s ridiculous and hilarious and god, if I didn’t love them before I loved them dearly after watching. It’s such a fun, easy watch and I adore it.
Plot summary: Over two "typical" days in the life of The Beatles, the boys struggle to keep themselves and Sir Paul McCartney's mischievous grandfather in check while preparing for a live television performance.
Quotes:
“How did you find America?” “Turned left at Greenland.”
“Hey mister can we have our ball back!”
“You’re a swine.”
7. Dazed and Confused (1993)
My favourite movie to watch at the beginning and end of the school year, and let’s be honest, every month in between. I’ve seen this movie more times than I can say. I love the ‘70’s setting, the actors, the plot. Another wonderful, easy watch that just makes me happy. Killer soundtrack, too.
Plot summary: The adventures of high school and junior high students on the last day of school in May 1976.
Quotes:
“You just gotta keep livin’, man. L-i-v-i-n.”
“It’d be a lot cooler if you did.”
“I just wanna look back and say that I did it the best that I could while I was stuck in this place.”
“I’d like to quit thinking of the present, like right now, is some minor, insignificant preamble to somethin’ else.”
8. Dirty Dancing (1987)
Anything with Patrick Swayze is wonderful, and this is no exception. Johnny and Baby are perfect. This movie also has the best soundtrack of any movie I’ve ever watched. Fantastic love story, fantastic movie. Watch it.
Plot summary: Baby (Jennifer Grey) is one listless summer away from the Peace Corps. Hoping to enjoy her youth while it lasts, she's disappointed when her summer plans deposit her at a sleepy resort in the Catskills with her parents. Her luck turns around, however, when the resort's dance instructor, Johnny (Patrick Swayze), enlists Baby as his new partner, and the two fall in love. Baby's father forbids her from seeing Johnny, but she's determined to help him perform the last big dance of the summer.
Quotes:
“Nobody puts Baby in a corner.”
“Fight harder, huh? I don’t see you fighting so hard, Baby. I don’t see you running up to daddy telling him I’m your guy.”
“You’re right, Johnny. You can’t win no matter what you do.”
“Go back to your playpen, Baby.”
9. The Sound of Music (1965)
This is such a beautiful movie, and I love it so much. My mom and I try to watch it every Christmas as our little tradition. Julie Andrews as Maria is so wonderful, and all of the songs are so, so good. I love all of the children dearly, and oh, do I love Captain VonTrapp.
Plot summary: A tuneful, heartwarming story, it is based on the real life story of the Von Trapp Family singers, one of the world's best-known concert groups in the era immediately preceding World War II. Julie Andrews plays the role of Maria, the tomboyish postulant at an Austrian abbey who becomes a governess in the home of a widowed naval captain with seven children, and brings a new love of life and music into the home.
Quotes:
“You cry a little, and then you wait for the sun to come out. It always does.”
“God bless Louisa, Brigitta, Marta, and little Gretl. Oh, I forgot the other boy. What’s his name? Well, god bless what’s-his-name.”
“I want you to stay. I ask you to stay.”
10. Gladiator (2000)
“Are you not entertained?” I think everyone has heard that line, from this amazing movie. One of the many that has made me cry, it’s such a beautiful story. Also, gladiators. That immediately sells it for me. All of the performances by the actors are top notch as well.
Plot summary: Set in Roman times, the story of a once-powerful general forced to become a common gladiator. The emperor's son is enraged when he is passed over as heir in favour of his father's favourite general. He kills his father and arranges the murder of the general's family, and the general is sold into slavery to be trained as a gladiator - but his subsequent popularity in the arena threatens the throne.
Quotes:
“My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius. Commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, and loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance. In this life or the next.”
“What we do in life echoes in eternity.”
“Falling down is how we grow. Staying down is how we die.”

Kendra you’re so on the nose about valcarol honestly. It’s not like it’s bad or anything but maria is right there with extremely gay tension already in the box, what more do people want
i’m also not, and have never been, a fan of the way the fandom talks about val in general but now they’re just using her for woke points
