swim through the fires to stay in this world

The arrow necklace was a deliberate Hawkeye reference.

Excuse me while I lie down.

You know, when you consistently have to stop yourself from writing the wrong surname.

I keep wanting to write Abigail King (correct name: Abigail Whistler) and Clint Bishop (correct name: Clint Barton).

So, I watched the Sif episode of SHIELD, and thank god, I can now officially quit watching that show. Again. For the third time. Let's hope this one sticks.

Day 05 - OTP For Whom You Never Seem To Run Out Of Inspiration

Natasha/Clint

(Or at least, I haven't run out of inspiration or desire to read fic about these two yet, although I have gotten pickier about the quality of fic I'm willing to spend my time on.)

Day 06 - Crossover OTP

Steve/Darcy technically counts given that they've never been in a movie together.

Day 07 - Real People OTP

I don't do this.

Day 08 - OTP That Has Put You Through The Ringer

Katara/Zuko. There is a reason that my pairing tag for this couple is 'forever bitter.'

ended up having several really long conversations with qualapec today, the relevant (to fandom) portions of which involved:

• me bitching about the deep, inherent, not-even-solvable-by-casting-Idris-Elba script problems with Blade: Trinity


• who would you kill if you could kill one dude from Teen Wolf? (I voted Peter Hale, killed by Allison and Lydia)


• one thing I forgot to mention; besides the fact that I do not understand the point of a tumblr queue, I could never have a tumblr queue because I cannot think of a quip enough queue tag, unlike all the epic tumblrs with perfect and brilliant and referential queue I follow.


• various Teen Wolf ships, emphasis on Malia/Stiles and Lydia/Stiles and Allison/Isaac


• QUALAPEC BROUGHT MY ATTENTION TO THE FACT THAT SIF/LOKI IS A TWISTED KING & LIONHEART DYNAMIC AND I ALMOST DIED FROM THE SHEER AWESOMENESS OF THAT IMAGE.


• qualapec wondering if Loki fangirls will jump on the Bucky Barnes train. my thought is the Loki fangirls are either already on board the Bucky Barnes train and what we will see in fandom is an explosion of Steve/Bucky. The only question regarding Winter Soldier is how much hate Natasha and Sharon will get, and which one fandom is going to hate more. (Spoiler alert, it's going to be Sharon. Natasha will be relegated to being SO AWESOME but her relationship with Steve and/or Bucky is STRICTLY PLATONIC. Which is for the best, because Natasha is just TOO AWESOME TO BE DATING ~CAPTAINS AMERICA~ *eyeroll*)


• my deep and heartfelt lament that Steve/Bucky fanfic is almost invariably well-written and is the most tropperiffic fanfic to have ever been written in the history of fandom. In other news, there is no god.

Seriously, if that movie wasn't being made by marvel, there would be no fucking way I'd want to see it.

The trailer did nothing for me, I think Zoe Saladana looks fugly in half the scenes I've seen her in so far, as does Nebula, if I never saw Chris Pratt's face again, that would be amazing.

And this has nothing to do with the fact that this movie is getting made before Black Widow, or Captain Marvel and Agent Jessica Drew, or a hundred other things I'd rather seen.

It's that there is no fucking way I'm going to get pumped about wacky space-hijinks of a fucking white dude with a doofus face in space.

Yep, I realize I'm the ONLY PERSON ON MY FLIST AND DASHBOARD WHO ISN'T CREAMING HER PANTIES OVER THIS MOVIE.

thatfangirl asked if I'd done a wishlist for Cap 2. I have, it's basically one item:

DON’T FUCK UP NATASHA.

That’s my biggest fear. I want her to be the stealth main character like she was in Avengers. I want Natasha to have several amazing fight scenes. I want her to have an explicitly romantic relationship with Bucky when he was training her, and I want the movie to end on an ambiguous note re: their romantic relationship going forward. Major bonus points if they have a hand-to-hand fight while he’s still brainwashed and she beats him.

Other things I'd like are:

-I don’t want to see Peggy Carter – I would have loved it if she’d died pre-Avengers.

-Maria and Natasha have a conversation.

-The ending stinger is not some oblique, boring thing that only hardcore comics nerds will get, but an actually funny, relevant tag to the movie.

-Lots of Steve in civilian clothes.

-Bucky ends up getting a decent haircut at the end so we can enjoy Sebastian Stan’s beauty.

-For the movie to be as awesome as the trailers are making it look.

(Some of these things I know are not going to happen. Some of these things are still possibilities.)

Okay, so this post is going around my dashboard:



but let's be real, that list is very abridged because it's missing:

Jane Foster  ♥ SCIENCE: comes with space boyfriend

Pepper Potts 1: professionally better than you

Pepper Potts 2: still professionally better than you

Pepper Potts 3: the rise of Rescue

Agent Peggy Carter & The Howling Commandos
