Panfandom Hanukkah Bingo
WHAT: A fanworks bingo celebrating Jewish (and Jew-ish) characters across any and all fandoms. Write fanfiction and/or create graphics (moodboards, edits, vids, whatever you like) to fill prompts on this overall bingo card. During the 8 nights of Hanukkah, submit your fills to the AO3 collection and/or post them on Tumblr to be reblogged and added to the Bingo Masterpost.
WHY: Jewish characters and Jewish fans are often overlooked or erased during the Winter Holiday Season in favor of “Secret Santa” exchanges, Christmas-themed fics, and the idea that ~Hanukkah is Jewish Christmas~ (which spoiler for all fics in this bingo: it’s not). This panfandom Bingo challenge is to celebrate Hanukkah on its own terms and give Jewish characters and fans a place to breathe. :)

Marvel‘s Voices: Young Avengers #2 Review:
This issue made me really emotional! I never thought we‘d get to see a story like this, but Teddy had a chance to reunite with his mother again. Teddy‘s mom has always been special in the comics to me because her unconditional love for Teddy formed Teddy into the kind and compassionate ruler he is now. Teddy‘s pain for his mother‘s death was sadly ignored in Young Avengers Volume II to re-hash Billy‘s depression that had been resolved in Children‘s Crusade already but now Teddy‘s feelings are finally center-stage.
In the newer comics, Teddy’s creation sometimes just felt like he was intended as a bargaining chip for races at war, but hearing that his mom and his biological mom never wanted him to lead this life laid that to rest.
Moreover, we finally see the return of Teddy‘s Hulkling form. Since he accepted his heritage he has become green, which I love, but he‘s not HULKling anymore. In the first Young Avengers and Children‘s Crusade Teddy embraced his super skrull form and I miss that. His powers mostly go ignored since he got Excelsior. I really want to see more of this!!!
Teddy isn’t alone in this, of course, Billy is there to support him. And since Teddy‘s mom is only there because of a time paradox, we have a nice little callback to The Last Annihilation where she asked Billy to take care of Teddy and now he asks her to do the same for her timeline. Aaaand, she liked Billy so much apparently that she taught him a secret recipe.
Billy also reaffirms their ever-lasting love for each other which is reassuring after the absolute mess that was the Hulkling & Wiccan Infinity comic.
Billy holding a baby Teddy and bonding with him is weird but also very sweet because you really see how gentle he is and there are also seeds planted for maaaybe some children of their own someday.
Further seeds are planted for Billy‘s eventual demiurge storyline. I‘m still not fond of it but I trust Oliveira to know what he‘s doing.
I think I don’t have much more to say except thank you with all my heart Mr. Oliveira. We can feel your love for these characters and I hope you‘ll have many more opportunities to write them. But please pay attention to the weird sides of the Demiurge lore.
