#thanos the purple grape
Honestly I don't think Thanos is as popular as Marvel thinks or wants him to be. He really doesn't have the prominence in the fandom favorite like Loki and Killmonger do. No one was clamoring to watch a Thanos show. Once Gunn tweeted Thanos a loving father he was an abuser that's all that concept ends up remembered as. MCU keeps trying to push him but every time the reaction is, isn't that a messed up thing in-universe?
It is weird. Perhaps they tried to push this idea that he was a fantastic character in order to try and sell IW and EG, and I bet they knew how under-developed he was and how overly OP they had made him, so the Russos kept giving interviews to call him sympathetic and complex. When you need to sell a character this bad you know it's poorly written - it's what happened with Sylvie.
Thanos could never stand a chance against Loki or Killmonger, not even Zemo or Ego. Those are far more interesting, especially the first two (and Zemo was amazing in how he carried the whole thing and also I'm biased because I adore Daniel).
Thanos was well-liked back in 2018/19 but now? I don't think anyone cares, honestly. Also, isn't it weird that Marvel seems to want to move on and forget the previous saga but they keep going back to its big bad every now and then? What is it... they don't trust HWR/Kang's appeal? 🤔
They can call him complex all they want but it was pretty clear from the beginning: Thanos is so boring.

With Season 5 concluded, will you be doing a best and worst akuma designs created by Gabriel Agreste of each season?
Alright everybody it’s time for Gale’s
Akuma fashion show a Go Go
And rules as follows
1. They will be rated only for the season they appeared in, so unless they get a redesign or updated look they don’t count
2. For each season I will be ranking one best and one worst.
3. These are the opinions Based Solely on asthetic, I will not be taking into account their powers or abilities, or even if they are my favorite akuma.
4. Akuma only, so no heroes villains or sentimonsters.
_________________________________________
Season 1 Best and Worst
Best: Stormy weather
Tumblr media
What can I say, the look is iconic for a reason, she set the bar high and she always blows away the competition.
The twisting hair, the purple dress and slick akuma shaped mask. Also the choice of weapon.
Worst: Animan
Tumblr media
The problem is he has no original form. Vanisher also has the same problem but his just seems lazier considering he gets to be the main akuma in an episode.
Not much to say except do better
Season 2 Best and Worst
Best: Reverser
Tumblr media
I love the symmetry of his design. It’s something Death the kid and Thanos would agree with. The asthetic works so well and while I’m grading on looks it’s neat how his power factors in.
Marc knocked it out of the park with this design
Worst: Gigatitan
Tumblr media
It’s boring. It’s so standard that it’s not even bad. Some of the designs this season were weird but I can’t say they were awful. But this one is just bland. I will probably forget it after I post this
Season 3 Best and worst
Best: Desperada
Tumblr media
I want to specify this is Solely asthetic. She isn’t my favorite akuma and the episode she is in is divisive, but I love her look. The music theme and bad ass rocker make up with touches of Gold. Different instrument weapons. Brilliant aesthetic.
Worst: Loveater
Tumblr media
Season 3 had a lot of not that great designs but Loveater is a horrific monster. And is still the UGLIEST akuma to this day. It’s the embodiment of what a toxic relationship looks like.
Season 4 Best and worst
Best: Qilin
Tumblr media
Originally I was going to put wishmaker on here, but Damn does this design Slap! And there are some solid designs. I just wish the episode debut was better. Outside of that, it’s just a cool armor and the glowing jade eyes are cool.
Worst: Ephemeral
Tumblr media
If Loveater is the visual representation of a toxic relationship, Ephemeral is the visual representation of Child abuse. The design looks so wrong, looking like a neon grape and the sad look on his face sells it. While even the ugliest designs have some charm, this is just a crime to look at.
Season 5 Best and Worst
Best: Safari
Tumblr media
It’s the best akuma design. The Hunter/Lara Croft tomb raider asthetic. The shades, then boots. The way her hair looks. The fit got me acting up. Plus while it’s unrelated to the asthetic, the way she tells Monarch to f*** off, and Provides the kwami swap episode we deserved. Easiest pick for me.
Worst: Sans-Culotte
Tumblr media
She looks like a glob of toothpaste. I feel like she was in a Aquafresh commercial and while I get what they were going for… I hate the design. It doesn’t look good. It looks like she doesn’t have a nose.

˗ˋˏ and i'm sitting on a bench at coney island wondering, where did my baby go? ˎˊ˗
summary: peter wasn't the only kid tony lost that day on titan (tony stark x female teen reader; implied peter parker x fem reader)
wc. 2.0k
a/n: so y/n's powers are similar to wanda bc its monday and i do not function on mondays. yes i added lyrics to this because I'm insane :) also, i know the lyrics are not in order but bear with me, and apologises in advance babes ♡
--------------------------⟭⟬----------------------------
Red, yellow, orange, black.
That’s all she could see.
Rockets were going off, red and gold ones to be specific.
This dumbass was going against the grape by himself.
“Go,” She heard Peter say. He shot a web to a incoming rock, re-directing it from one of the new space nerds they had met. She flicked her arm out and disintegrated it before it even came close to the two.
“Go I got this.” He said again.
“Stay out of the gravitational orbit will ya?” Y/N replied back, quickly. Knowing Peter was well capable of biting of only what he could chew. Sorta.
Better than Mr. T’s ability.
“I’m sorry I can’t remember anybody’s names,” She heard him say over the blood roaring in her ears. Thanos had ripped of Tony’s nano-tech mask, landing a hard blow on him.
Tony didn’t get back up.
Her arrival on ground caused a ripple under the planet’s surface. Small rocks and debris around her went up in disintegration. Her eyes glowing a soft white.
“Hands off,” She growled as she lifted herself back up in the air.
 ˗ˋ And when I got into the accident, The sight that flashes
before me was your faceˎˊ˗
Thanos was quicker, sending a blast of purple energy from the Power stone straight to where Y/N flew over head. Landing to punch.
The purple met white.
Y/N stayed with one arm outstretched, the other closer to her face. Generating whatever she could.
She’s seen Tony get pushed down, it never struck her. She always knew he’d get back up. This was different.
This was war.
Her hand closest to her began to move outward. One stream of energy keeping the Power stone’s abilities away from her, while she sent a second stream right toward the infinity gauntlet.
The gold closest to his elbow began to deteriorate.
Thanos tilted his head in confusion. How the hell was that working?
That’s when purple started to win, Y/N’s hands beginning to shake from the strain.
Thank Thor above Tony had been watching as he prepared to strike.
The purple was gone almost immediately as a flash of red and gold flew by her. That’s when the blue hit, the Space stone. Moving her forcefully across the face of the planet.
“Somethings happening,” she heard someone say. She was too disoriented to put the voice to a name. Not that she would’ve remembered, shed met these space geeks less than hours ago.
She was too far away from the group to see what exactly what the voice was referring to. She crawled onto her legs on hands and knees, wobbling over, and holding her side. Her temple was bleeding, lip cut, arm probably fractured from the impact of Thanos hitting her with the Space stone. Most of her body had absorbed the energy, but it still hurt like hell.
She stumbled on her way to the group, just a handful of meters away.
Except there was no group anymore. Just the woman with the cool hand, and Tony. But Tony was kneeling over someone.
“I’m sorry,”
No.
She didn’t need superpowers or FRIDAY to tell her whose voice was that. His voice would forever be engraved in her mind, her soul.
What happened to him?
What happened to him.
Anger flooded through her, as it always did. She looked around for the Titan, for Strange, for anyone else there.  
Why did everyone leave?
She looked at her shaky hands.
Did I do this?
Oh God.
This was me, wasn’t it.
I finally messed up.
---------
Tony turned around, eyes blank as he looked at the ashes on his hands.
His kid’s ashes.
Shit.
The kids.
Y/N was staggering over to him. Horror in her eyes as she darted from her hands, to around her, back to her hands.
“Tony?” She whispered.
Not you please not you too.
Part of him didn’t want to move, he didn’t know if he could save her. He lost one please let Y/N not be another.
He got up anyway, swaying unsteadily under the floor of an already unsteady planet.
Tony reached his arms out to grab her. To keep her there with him. . He lost one, please let Y/N not be another.
But Y/N didn’t fall into his arms like Peter did.
She just stood there.
He held onto her shoulders.
“Kid-, “ He said quietly looking down at the girl he considered his daughter.
Y/N’s hand stayed connected to her stomach, like if she moved she would hurt him even more than he already was. She kept her eyes flickering side to side from his.
She put her hand on his face.
Tony wanted to say something. To comfort her? To keep her there? To tell her not to go? To tell her she should’ve stayed home with her stupid muffin she was so excited to eat that morning.
“Never let them take your heart,”
He had to watch her disappear into dust, her eyes closed right before…
He crumbled under the disappearance of the weight right next to him.
They lost. But Tony didn’t know what hurt more. Because he didn’t just “lose”.
He felt like he died that day too. On that stupid orange planet.
And he felt, like he died split in two.
•────────⎊────────────•
3 Weeks Later
Grass.
That was the first thing Tony saw as Nebula helped him down the stairs of the Bentar. He previously saw a figure running toward them.
Of course it had to be the Captain himself.
Neither recognized the fact in that they hadn’t seen each other since the brutal fight in Siberia. For a moment they were just Tony and Steve. Not Iron Man and Captain America.
Friends.
“Couldn’t stop him.” Was the first words Tony uttered.
“Neither could I.” Steve followed immediately afterword, supporting Tony as much as he could.
“Hang on,” Barley a whisper. Tony hated the words that came out of his mouth next. He’s been dreading it for weeks. God how he wished somedays aboard that ship he could’ve died with them.
“I lost the kids,”
“Oh, Tony we lost.”
Pepper ran into Tony’s arms, taking his attention away from Steve. Giving him a moment to realize what just happened.
Sure the super soldier’s reflexes and quick thinking was fast. But this threw him completely off his course.
What the hell did Tony mean by ‘the kids’?
Sure the Spider-Boy that went missing with Tony in New York, and…
Oh God. No.
A few hours later…
“You’re new blood we need you.” He pointed at Carol as he unsteadily walked over to where Steve stood, holding onto the table now and then for support.
 “I said, ‘we'd lose’. You said, ‘We'll do that together too.’ And guess what, Cap? We lost. And you weren't there. But that's what we do, right? Our best work after the fact? We're the Avengers, we're the Avengers. Not the Prevengers”
Rhodey finally cut in. “Okay.”
“Right?”
“You made your point. Just sit down.” His friend told him, hands on his arms.
Tony mumbled an okay, but Stark’s never stay quite.
Y/N wouldn’t, he thought. “Nah, nah. Here's my point. You know what?”
“Tony, you're sick.” Rhodey could hardly be heard over the rush of adrenaline that went through Tony.
Tony looked over to the new blonde standing silently in the corner. “She's great, by the way.”
“Sit down. Sit.”
“We need you. You're new blood. Bunch of tired old mules. You’re new blood we need you.” He pointed at Carol as he unsteadily walked over to where Steve stood holding onto the table now and then for support. Right in front of his face, hushing down to a venomous tone.
“I got nothing for you, Cap! I got no coordinates, no clues, no strategies, no options. Zero. Zip. Nada. No trust. Liar.”
The old friends just gaze at each other. Steve looking affected by Tony's words.
“You know Steve, the las thing she ever said to me? Never let them take your heart.”
Tony rips his Arc Reactor from his chest and shoves it into Steve's hand
“It’s too bad I’m giving it. You find him, and you put that on. You hide.”
Tony falls to the ground. Steve is by his side and everyone is starting to gather.
“Tony!”
“I’m fine. I...”
Tony falls into a heap, unconscious.
No one needed magical powers to know damn well who he was talking about.
•───────⎊─────────────•
5 Months Later
It’s October 21.
It was supposed to be a party.
He had hiding a box of streamers and banners and deflated balloons in the lab for weeks.
Not even mentioning the closet full of papers for guest lists, and different planned out days on crumbled pieces of paper.
The invitations were ready to be sent.
Pepper had gone out of her way to pick a dress for her.
He looked out to the morning sunrise on the hard wooden bench. He had told Pepper he was going on a run.
Pepper knew, Tony never ran a day in his life. But after losing Y/N, she lost a piece of Tony herself. Not even mentioning the own hole it left in her heart. In her home.
Tony had fallen asleep to the thought of birthday cake last night. Maybe it was the nightly delusions kicking in. A blanket was placed over him. He just wanted to go back to that dream, only being held less than a couple months ago. A life that felt so long ago.
He woke up groggy that morning. Rubbing his hair as he placed one foot in front of the other in the hallway. He had a little too much to drink last night at his “surprise” birthday party Pepper had thrown for him. Unlucky for her, FRIDAY knows everything.
“God you people are so loud,” He heard a voice whisper from a few feet around the corner. Shhh’s followed. He knew that voice.
In the softest voices possible for an hungover Sunday, “Happy birthdays!” were exclaimed.
 ˗ˋˏ You standing in the hallway with a big cake, Happy
birthday ˎˊ˗
Y/N at the center of the little group, comprised of, Peter, Happy, and Pepper.
“Happy birthday to you,” They whispered through smiling faces.
“Happy birthday to you,” God how much did he have to drink that night?
“Happy birthday dear Mr. T,”
“Tony,”
“Mr. Stark,”
The cake read, ‘Halfway to Senior Citizen!’ in the messiest handwriting Tony has ever seen on a cake.
“Happy birthday to you!”
He told himself he didn’t deserve this. This makeshift group of friends. Any yet Tony thought to himself, these were no longer just his friends.
They were family.
 “It’s-its bullshit I’ve even come to this but. God, kid I had to-I had to be the one to tell you.” He stuttered as he spoke, his hand running down his face.
“If you’re still there, knowing you, you’ve probably already sorted through all of my stuff,”
He pulled out a white envelope from the inside of his athletic jacket. The sides were torn and worn, illustrating just how many times Tony thought of burning it.
He ripped open the white flap gently. His hands shook while he did. Deep down it hurt, even more than usual, because he knew he was never supposed to be the one opening this. He was supposed to be watching from across the couch where you were supposed to be. Sitting “criss-cross-applesauce” you always said in that stupid sing-song voice. Opening all of dozens of birthday presents—making up for the time you never got to.
He blames himself, for he’s the reason you will never get another candle on a birthday cake.
A bead of water landed on the paper, causing a smudge of black ink to run along the letters.
Anthony Edward Stark, Virginia Potts
Custody of Y/N Y/L/N
“Happy birthday kid.”
˗ˋˏ I’m on a bench in Coney Island, wondering
Where did my baby go? ˎˊ˗

Just one last time (Part one?) Peter parker imagines
Summary: reader and Peter have been best friends since they were five years old, started dating once they started middle school. Now they're both super heroes working along side the Avengers to save the world. She was there when the snap happened, losing those she loved, not realizing how much the snap has changed her and her powers have gone out of hand.
Tumblr media
A/N: this isn't exactly based off of Endgame as this is my own twist as it is an Imagine.
Peter and Reader are in their early twenties.
Should I make a part 2?
She thought that she had control of her powers. The nightmares have gone away, she hadn't had a vision in a long time. But the past few months her visions have felt more real. She kept Everything to herself, not wanting to worry the team about her dreams of everyone's death.
She had visions of how people die, and she tries to prevent them by risking her own life to save others. She would blame herself If that person didn't survive because she wasn't there.
This time, this time she knew that it was her fault.
Y/N was being thrown and landing with a thud. Her head pounding, they weren't on Earth anymore, only to be in outer space fighting a giant purple Devil. His name was Thanos. Who is trying to destroy Earth and to become a God. There wasn't any time for Y/N to do anything. Her vision was blurring, head pounding as the ground was shaking.
Her hearing was all fuzzy, she had blood trickling from her temple, her nose was bleeding as she had a black eye and others all over the rest of her body.
She was trying to find him. She couldn't find Peter, she gets up on shaky legs, calling out his name as she began to worry. She heard a snap, her heart shattering as she ran as fast as she could to find him. Screaming his name, she stumbled, letting out a moan when she felt her stomach and noticed that she was bleeding. Her white suit was now a mixed with red from her blood.
"PETER!" She cried, not knowing where he was, not caring about the rest of her team that she called family.
She stopped, her hand on her heart as she saw Peter with Tony Stark.
"N-No, this isn't happening. You can't-you cant-" She couldn't breath, she felt as if she needed her inhaler again, that she felt like the same little girl that used to have asthma to get out of gym.
"I'm scared." He was just a kid, they were both just kids as they were fighting a giant Purplw Grape like monster.
"This is my fault." She sobbed, holding his body close to hers.
Her forehead resting against his as she sobbed. His legs started to turn to dust.
"It's not, not your fault." She shook her head once again.
"I'm sorry, I should've told you. I broke our promise." She wanted this to be over, that they were studying together for her next Chemistry test, or they'd be watching Star Wars with Ned every Friday night.
"I thought that my vision wasn't accurate, they usually lie. I should've told you, I should be the one to leave not you." She was having a panick attack.
Tony watched the scene unfold, he felt sick, that the boy he called a son was turning into dust. He still held the engagement ring that Peter asked to go with him to propose to her once they graduated.
"I love you. I love you." This was their last kiss, until he turned to dust and she fumbled forward.
Letting out a blood curdling scream. Her future was no longer there, she would never forget that she let her boyfriend die in her arms instead of promising him that she'd tell him her vision/nightmares.
"I killed him, I killed him Mr.Stark and I promised I'd tell him my visions." She was in a child's pose, her hands holding the locket that Peter gave her on their four year anniversary.
They were sixteen when Peter gave it to her. It was a picture of them when they were five at her dance recital. That was the same day where she knocked somebody's tooth out with her point shoe.
"It's not your fault kid." How could everything be alright if everyone she knew was gone? That the world was now broken.
She continued to sob, she wanted to go home. She couldn't stay here anymore.
"May! Oh my God May! What do I tell May Tony?" The realization hit her.
She promised herself that she'd bring Peter home to May unharmed. She wanted to go back to being teenagers again, Peter climbing her window to clean up his suit and wounds. Instead she had to deal with the fact that her boyfriend was dead. That there isn't a way to bring him back. She couldn't see his future anymore, she couldn't see hers or anyone else. She was just broken and nothing can fix her unless Peter came home to her.

I always forget that apparently a lot of people actually think Thanos was a good, even a great, villain. I'm just so used to assuming everyone knows that he was nothing more than a bitch-ass dipshit who flunked econ that, until the rare occasions that I look at the YMMV page for Avengers: Infinity War, I just live in a world where almost everyone apart from maybe a few people with bad taste agrees that Thanos ain't shit.

The mcu is pretty okay with continuity errors right? I mean there’s not too many blatantly obvious ones that you can spot, unless you spend hours on tumblr. Unlike the xmen series (which I love and adore with all my heart)
But I just thought of one and it’s kinda big??? After starting to rewatch the series in order properly (since I have most of the dvds and just got disney+) So iron man is supposed to take place in 2008 right? I mean it came out that year, in homecoming Happys all ‘I been carrying this ring around since 2008’ which is supposedly when tony and pepper got together.
Some people think hulk comes before iron man 2 others think it comes after, personally I think it comes before iron man 2, partly because of the release dates and because of finer details that I’ll come to in a min, either way we know iron man 2 comes around 6 months after the first and Thor starts roughly half way through that film (coulson has to go to New Mexico) and hulk can’t have happened long before that because Erik makes a comment about a scientist who did research on gamma radiation and got his life’s work taken away by shield (hint,hint).
Anyway, erik then starts working for shield (as seen in end credits scene) and as Loki’s there he can’t have been working there long before the attack on New York. Cap has clearly not spent much time out of the ice from what we see in avengers assemble so we can assume that all this superhero biz took place around 2008/2009 including the attack on New York, this would add up with opening scene in Spider-Man homecoming as it says 8 years after the events of avengers the events of homecoming begin, we know that this information adds up because the film only takes place after civil war from 2016.
But see this is the big issue, as we all know in endgame Bruce, cap, Scott and tony go back to the the attack on New York in which it says is 2012, without the information homecoming gives us this is all fine and makes sense right? We can kinda forget how close the earlier films are supposed to be set together and guess it’s a few years apart? Even with those oh so important details? If the events of homecoming really are 8 years after avengers assemble and the attack on New York really did take place in 2012 are we to assume that the avengers have been living in the future far longer than we have realised? But even then that wouldn’t make sense seeing as Peter Parker was born 10 august 2001 and that would make him 18/19 in homecoming which would be 2020 when he specifically says he’s 15.
So it all comes down to when the FUCK AVENGERS ACTUALLY TOOK PLACE CUZ TO BE HONEST WITH YOU IT SEEMS TO MAKE MORE SENSE IN 2008/2009 BUT ENDGAME HAS OTHER FUCKING IDEAS?????? Is it just me??
May I also add how FUCKING DUMB THE AVENGERS ARE? Do you know what would have been sooooo much easier than fucking going back to different years and shit? Going back on the day that infinity war took place, go to whatever shitass planet thanos landed his purple grape nutsak on, where he went to retire and heal before he snapped the stones out of excistance (and I mean like arrive there the same time he would have) do the same old manuver that they pulled at the beginning and have Thor chop off thanos’ head again (pretty pleasurable to watch tbh) grab the gauntlet with all the stones in and hulk can snap all the peeps back no probs, no tony dying, no Nat dying, no struggle with 2014 nebula and thanos, just freaking pip squeaksss easy, might not be as entertaining to watch or have gamora back and Loki in another timeline but GUESS WHAT BITCH THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A HECKIN LOT EASIER THAN THE WAY THEY DID IT AND YOU HAVE A FUCKING TIME MACHINE THAT DOESNT FUCK UP YOUR OWN TIMELINE SO GO STEAL GAMORA AND LOKI FROM THE TIMELINES THEY DIED IN YOU DUMB HOE (I mean I love endgame it a great film and a fantastic emotional rollercoaster but still guys????)
