Story Recommendations

For your reading pleasure, included below is at least one fic rec for each pairing except the crossovers from non-Marvel fandoms (apologies to Mr. Potter & Mr. Stilinski). Most are gen fic, and even in the ones with a romantic pairing, romance is not the focus.

Tony Stark

As Subtle As Cognitive Recalibration by petroltogo (Teen, 8949) tumblr: @tonystarktogo

Standing inside his penthouse, listening to Rogers, Barton and Banner explain to Fury how they just happened to stumble over the Tesseract on a routine security check of Stark Tower’s roof and wouldn’t you know, they’ve managed to fight off the looming alien invasion before it could really start and secure the missing overpowered nightlight is one of the most surreal situations Tony has ever had the displeasure of experiencing.

Peter Parker

the worst field trip ever by shrill_fangirl_screaming (Teen, 3420) tumblr: @i-am-having-an-emotion

"We're on a field trip," Peter said. "To here. And Tony decided to be our tour guide and absolutely embarrass me, so can you please help get him under control?"

Which is how Peter Parker, architect of his own destruction, ended up with not one but two superhero pseudo-dads being annoying on his school field trip.

Steve Rogers

Do You Remember Being Happy? ('Cause I Sure Don't) by GalaxyThreads (Teen, 11022) tumblr: @galaxythreads

That seems about right. He doesn't know how he knows that, though. He does have vague memories of an annoyed fondness at finding peanut butter in some sort of jam. Thor's doing, because he doesn't see the point of using two knives when one works just as fine. He knows that. How does he know that? He knows all those little details, though, almost innately. How can he know these strangers so deeply?

Everyone else below the cut!

Loki

Proprietary by TheThirdMarauder (Teen, 7639)

No, Loki simply wants the Avengers conquered. The details of whom, how, and when matter not. Unless, of course, said details interfere with Loki's plans. Then, well, then none can fault him for protecting his own interests.

Loki has always been exceptionally good at lying to himself.

Natasha Romanov

What Girls Are Made Of by enigma731 (Teen, 4613) tumblr: @enigma731

She rolls her eyes but does as he’s indicated, using his shoulders to leverage herself up onto his back, her arms around his neck and her legs hugging his waist.

“You know,” he says blithely, “this isn’t really what I tend to picture when I think of a hot girl riding me.”

Natasha groans, deciding that if his sense of humor gets them arrested, she’ll kill him herself. “Just go.”

Clint Barton

Dear Clint Barton (circa age 7) by pollyrepeat (Teen, 4221)

With a normal person, this might count as blackmail material, but a) this is a case of mutually assured destruction if ever there was one, and b) Fury is immune to embarrassment. Not just in the regular, Tony Stark way, either, oh no. Things that could possibly end up being embarrassing to Fury get somehow warped and changed until they go from mortifying all the way over into useful and/or good for his image. It’s like a superpower.

Carrying Clint’s small child self around on his shoulders more than once has probably already hit the interagency rumour mill as an example of Fury’s innate awesomeness: good with rocket launchers and small children.

Also available as a podfic!

Bruce Banner

They're Not Wrong by Trumpeteer34 (Teen, 10163)

As Tony began to pace around the hole in the road to keep himself from shooting repulsors at the nearby buildings in a fit of rage, Thor began to study the nearby area. There was no sign of either the Hulk or Bruce Banner beyond the crater. The surrounding area, aside from the rubble of the fight, held no clue as to their friend’s location.

“Guys, he’s gone,” Tony growled into the communicator on their private line, drawing Thor out of his darkening thoughts. “Someone tranqed him and took him. He’s gone.”

Honorary mention goes to the Responsible Science series by @letteredlettered - the stories don’t have the "Avengers Team & Bruce Banner" tag, but they could, and they are amazing. The best Bruce Banner writing I've ever come across.

Thor

Fortunately, I Am Mighty by onward_came_the_meteors (General, 3062)

Steve was the first one to speak. “Are you okay?”

Thor nodded. Which was a bad idea, as it turned out, because now there were little gray lights flashing in front of his eyes. “I’m fine.” Absolutely everyone narrowed their eyes, and he added, “But, uh. Could we possibly not get back in the car just yet?”

Avengers Team

Civil Wasn't by onward_came_the_meteors (General, 7123)

"We're having an ideological conflict here," Tony stated with disbelief. "Are you telling me you still want to go out to dinner?"

"It's a standing engagement, Tony," Rhodey reminded him.

"Not you too—"

"We already had to reschedule from Friday when Natasha was..." Rhodey frowned. "What were you doing?"

The question was directed toward Natasha, who shrugged and said, "Spy stuff."

James "Bucky" Barnes

You Know How I Feel, aka, The Adventures of Bucky and Muffy the Dinosaur by ifeelbetter (Not Rated, 4511) tumblr: @ifeelbetterer

“As you may have heard, Bucky Barnes, a.k.a. The Winter Soldier, recently rescued a tiny part-robot dinosaur during the Avengers’ battle with Dr. Doom in Antarctica,” the other newscaster explained. “Pictures of Barnes and the dinosaur were posted on twitter by fellow Avenger, Clint Barton, a.k.a. Hawkeye, and immediately made Barnes’s new pet America’s sweetheart.”

“Her name’s Muffy,” said Steve."

Wanda Maximoff

and the woman was young again by Mira_Jade (General, 3669)

Tony Stark called them the Cap's Kooky Quintet, and sometimes the term amused her – causing her to lift a sardonic brow where someday a smile would truly smile. She enjoyed the presence of comrades – true comrades – and she enjoyed the way their minds wove and bound together about each other to fluctuate against her senses as one. There was something soothing about being in their midst, and even when their loud and brash ways – their painful Americaness - rubbed her raw and drained on her, it was ever the knitting of their minds that soothed those moments over, and made them inconsequential.

Phil Coulson

Coulson's First Day of School by storiesfortravellers (Teen, 3055)

Coulson looked up at him. “I like drawing pictures with Mr. Rogers. I like having tea parties with Ms. Potts. I like it when Dr. Banner reads me books, and I like it when Natasha teaches me things. And I like when you play with me. You do really good voices when we play action figures. And you’re the only one who lets me do stuff like jump off the high diving board at the pool or eat three cupcakes or play tackle with kids at the park.”

Clint didn’t realize that. He was pretty sure that meant that he was doing something wrong.

Darcy Lewis

Beginner Yoga for Dummies (Darcys) and Sad Hobos by chailover (Teen, 3434)

Darcy had a theory: crazy attracted crazy, working kind of like gravity. It was pretty much her explanation for her life after Thor. And if she had thought the type of crazy Thor attracted was bad, be it Loki or the Warrior Three and Sif, or the dark elves and the Convergence, it was still nothing against what the Avengers manage en masse.

Matt Murdock

Double Blind by smilebackwards (Teen, 2381) tumblr: @smilebackwards

Stark snaps his fingers. “You can’t see half of my inventions. This explains so much about you and why you’ve never been properly impressed by me.”

“Does it?” Matt says, ambiguously.

Sam Wilson

Bystander by scribblemetimbers (Teen, 52029)

“I just want you to know,” Sam says loudly, cautiously raising his hands, “That I’m very poor and very sleep-deprived and literally the only thing you can kill me for right now are my notes.” He pauses. Wait. On second thought: “Please don’t steal my notes.”

“I’m not—I’m not a mugger,” Not Mugger rasps out, and for all that he looks about to keel over and die, the man actually manages to sound offended.

Nick Fury

Bedtime Story by dixiehellcat (Teen, 2532) tumblr: @deehellcat

Fury snorted. “I have to check in with the duty officer. I’ll be back in, let’s say twenty minutes. I expect all of you to have whatever your pre-bedtime routines are completed, and be in here pajama’ed and ready to be read to.”

He tapped the book under his arm, then left with the usual dramatic swish of his long coat. Bruce scratched his head. “Did…he just say be ready to be read to?”

Pepper Potts

Pepper and the Avengers (Which She Knows Nothing About) by rebelmeg (General, 6696) tumblr: @rebelmeg

The Avengers, that mismatched group of hurt and heroism, was one of the most important things in Tony Stark’s life. So, naturally, Pepper had made them an important part of her life too.

Vision

039. Intoxicated by aimmyarrowshigh (Teen, 100) tumblr: @aimmyarrowshigh

It might be nice to fit in, just this once. To lose a bit of composure.

Vision floated over to the refrigerator and, with some timidity, pulled off a magnet. He stuck it to his forehead.

talk to me about your favorite episodes of xyz !!! or your favorite moments !!

oh my god , okay , uh , i have SO many favorite episodes / moments , this is gnna take a hot motherfuckin sec ( post!editing edward here , i was right ) , uh , KDSFJGHSDFJ , okay , sO … folks , if you’ve ever wanted a somewhat comprehensive summary of all of my feelings on the xy/z series , here it is , all in one place :

001 - 002.

right from the start of satoshi showing up in kalos , the entire energy of the series was just so !!! & the battle animations were just such a breath of fresh air after having watched bw & i was just instantly drawn in . then there was the whole incident with the gablias & just satoshi following it up the tower & having calming it down enough to remove the collar , knowing that it was in pain , be the first priority , & then leaping after pikachu when an edge of the tower broke off —— my heart just was so warm throughout all that .

003.

satoshi consistently repeating that a strategy is needed against yayakoma sort of just made me smile & think , yeah he’s grown a lot since previous seasons . along with that , the moment where it clicks for satoshi why keromatsu has been described as “ the pokemon that battles as it pleases without listening to its trainer ” , understanding his feelings & working to attain keromatsu’s goal together instead of him just leaping blindly without considering how to most effectively achieve it ; that also just really made me soft , because finally there’s a trainer that actually understands keromatsu & it reaffirms that him choosing satoshi was indeed a good choice .

006.

a really small thing , but when satoshi’s stuck on how to counter viola’s pokemon & he & serena have a small talk & serena says that he told her “ don’t give up until the end ” & that he hasn’t changed & “ this is so like you ” & satoshi just pauses for a second . & then he laughs . because how could he forget ?? it’s not like him to mull things over too much , he just goes at it with fighting spirit , no matter what it may be or even if fighting spirit is all he has . that moment just always makes me smile to think about , probably mostly due to the pause & laugh , honestly .

007.

serena putting her sihorn knowledge to use & teaching satoshi how to ride one , & the moments where she was remembering herself learning & when she repeats her mom’s words of “ don’t talk !! you’ll bite your tongue !! ” & “ go for broke !! ” without even thinking —— those were sweet . also the kalos gang talking to serena’s mom for the first time , that was really adorable , especially with everyone pushing each other out of the frame to talk & satoshi excitedly talking about serena teaching him to ride sihorn & her trying to get him to shush up & ending up just shoving him away from the phone entirely before he could finish a sentence .

008.

satoshi & pikachu continuing to battle the rocket gang even after maaiika blinded pikachu by having satoshi become his eyes & guide where to dodge & where to strike ; it was a really nice way of showing the trust that pikachu has in satoshi & vice versa , because battling blind while relying on someone else’s directions does take a lot of trust to pull off smoothly .

009.

honestly just the entire episode : the backstory with the citroid , citron reclaiming his gym , the kalos gang saying they’ll grow together with citron , him declaring to his dad that he wishes to travel with satoshi & serena & stating that they’ve helped him grow as a person in even just the short amount of time that they’ve been together at that point , the promise between satoshi & citron to have a proper gym battle against each other once satoshi reaches the skill level of someone with four badges & citron promising to get stronger as well to be able to give that proper gym battle —— this entire episode was filled with so much goodness .

025.

after rewatching the orange league arc , i’d come to realize that zakuro giving his challengers the option to climb their way to the battlefield was quite similar to a previous gym leader that too had his challengers climb for the right to challenge him , but there were a few differences , one significant one being that , in kalos , satoshi has zero hesitation in his decision to climb the walls & , though he slips once , he doesn’t look down & finishes his climb with relative ease , a vast improvement from the aforementioned orange league arc , & the connection with the earlier arc makes this a moment , or rather thing , that i really liked . also the evolution of way of fighting through battle with the counter - tombs was really neat .

030 - 033.

honestly just watching corni & her lucario bond & grow & come to truly understand each other & overcome the overwhelming power of lucario’s mega evolution was all just really interesting ; also the understanding that satoshi had for her connection with lucario & for the need to battle the bursyamo in the cave on their own due to his own experience , that was nice .

034.

the entire episode , really . satoshi took one look at luchabull & just went “ kin ” . the excitement & admiration he felt at meeting luchabull & him asking if kanazawa could share some stories about him & just being so !!! when kanazawa tells him he could take him to luchabull’s training spot —— it was all just so tangible & heartwarming . satoshi working with luchabull to help master the flying press & trying to help by thinking of a way to increase the speed of the attack without having to remove the personal dramatic flair aspect of luchabull’s particular move was also really sweet , along with admitting total defeat even though it was a draw between luchabull & keromatsu because luchabull had perfected his flying press after trying satoshi’s suggestions only once & impressed him + luchabull still wanting to go along with satoshi & the others .

039 - 042.

the rival trio were so great & the summer camp was a wonderful way of introducing these recurring characters , not to mention that this marks the beginning of steady discovery for serena of what sort of dream she wants to attain , with sana telling her about the trypokarons & it sparking an interest for her .

044.

oh man , the gym battle between satoshi & corni was such a ride to watch , especially just the first time around , like the animation team really pulled out some god damn stops for this episode because , holy fuck , it was like a cup of coffee for me . also , the moment with satoshi realizing he can’t really copy anyone else’s strategy because he’s got his own type of rhythm to battling was just kinda nice .

047.

serena’s first caught pokemon & her deciding that she wants to become a pokemon performer along with fokko & yancham . she’s struggled with the fact that she’s the only one she knows without a goal or a dream in life all the way up until this episode & just the fact that she’s finally so certain of something like that really warmed my heart .

053.

going off from the aforementioned ep , serena confronting her mom about wanting to become a pokemon performer & challenging her to a race with the stakes being that , if serena loses , she’s going to come back home , & even though she falls down in the middle of the race , not giving up & her determination getting her through to the finish line first . she finally had something she’s so passionate about & i just felt nothing but pride & joy for her .

054.

kojiro & maaiika , man . kojiro & maaiika .

060.

while serena may have failed in her first trypokaron , it was really heartwarming to see her finally turn around in the end & not let the failure stop her entirely from pushing on ahead , knowing that she’s not alone in it , she has her pokemon with her . also the blue ribbon she got from satoshi being used for her new look was sweet .

064.

elle & serena’s battle & serena taking elle’s advice of smiling while performing with her pokemon to heart & reaching fokko in a way that made it evolve into tairenar all hit me in the heart like a bag of bricks , not gonna lie .

067.

oh man . the entire gym battle between satoshi & citron . it really was so electrifying to watch , the animation & emotion in the battle was off the hook & i could swear that my heart was racing its own marathon during all of it . i really felt that feeling of not wanting the battle to end & wanting it to last forever , & when it was over i felt like i’d just gotten an absolute rush of adrenaline & had to slowly come down from it . it’s honestly my favorite gym battle to date , full stop ( though the unofficial gym battle against kasumi in sumo is a close second due to similar reasons as this one ) , because not only was the battle itself so incredibly well done , but the chemistry between not just trainer & pokemon , but trainer & trainer as well was just so beautifully displayed in a way that none of the other gym battles with travelling companions who were gym leaders had ( the battle against kasumi is one of an old friendship from the very early first days of their journeys , sort of an “ it’s been a long while, wonder how you’ve you been ” , while the one against citron is more that of gratitude & respect , mostly coming from citron ; they’ve got two distinctly different connections ) ; citron was inspired by satoshi to be the type of trainer he is in this episode , all the events & incidents that have happened up until this battle have made him the way he is , & he is giving it his all because it’s not only what satoshi deserves but it’s also what citron has achieved —— he’s grown as a trainer & as a person & this battle is his way of showing all his progress thus far . it’s a thank you . also , you can pry the line “ satoshi, you need me. a fighter like you needs a calm type like me by his side ” from my cold , dead grasp .

074.

satoshi dealing with the trick rooms was interesting to watch , & even though the end result may not have been quite as satisfactory as he’d hoped , the repeated use of flame charge to build up speed for when the room timed out was a heh moment that i liked ; he’s got a tendency to sometimes purposefully make his opponents think he’s making a mistake while he’s actually just waiting for the right moment to make a good move & i really appreciate those moments .

076.

the gang parenting the newly hatched onbat was so sweet & so cute , especially with satoshi & his flying types , helping it learn to fly . it’s kind of a small thing , but it’s so adorable & heartwarming that i can’t help but call it a favorite .

085.

kojiro stepping up & helping serena with tairenar’s broken stick because he understands the feeling of losing something that may seem easily replaceable to others but holds immeasurable value & memories to the one who owns said something . it was honestly just so sweet & so heartwarming & he was happy for tairenar even while getting blasted off , i mean come on . my heart was mush .

087.

tiny thing but satoshi sprawling out in his sleep to the point of having an arm draped over citron was really cute & a favorite thing .

092 - 093.

first off , i dig gojika’s whole Thing so much & i think she might be my favorite gym leader purely aesthetic - wise ; second , the foreshadowing of satoshi - gekkouga & gekogashira’s backstory , holy shit . not gonna lie , the lines “ what keromatsu wanted was something deeper . i call this … love . […] this one’s future … is you two climbing up towards a future of new greatness … that no one has ever seen before . ” hit me in the heart like a bowling ball . & oh man the gym battle … god it was so much fun to watch & i loved every moment of it , particularly satoshi having pikachu time the amount of time it takes for gojika’s future sight to strike , & Oof the moment where gojika sees satoshi & gekogashira’s future in the water pulse .

100 / xy&z07.

gekogashira’s evolution & the first instance of satoshi - gekkouga … honestly , almost every time i rewatch an instance of it after a while of not seeing any , i realize i forgot just how intense the satoshi - gekkouga state is , like even just the powering up part on its own .

106 / xy&z13.

something about the abruptness of the ends of the battles between satoshi - gekkouga & jukain & mega lizardon always cracks me up , i don’t know what to tell y’all . also the exchange of “ satoshi, what was that ?? how can you do that ?? please tell me !! ” “ i don’t know either. my vision goes bam & then i’m all rargh. ” “ i see, i see … wait, that does not help !! ” .

112 - 113 / xy&z19 - 20.

even though she lost in the end , the fact that serena had even made it to the point of facing off against elle in the first place was such a huge deal & i can honestly say that i cried a Lot during these episodes & that they are the reason i now instantly get teary - eyed upon hearing serena’s dori - dori song . also , it was really nice that musashi accepted her loss as well as she did , casually stating that it was because of the rest of the gang that she made it even that far , even though just a few trypokarons ago she would have blown her lid off at a loss when she was so close to her goal ; the rest of the gang being just so proud of her & kojiro & nyarth being more than willing to pay for the celebratory dinner was really sweet , too .

116 / xy&z23.

small things stuck with me & make this a nice episode to rewatch , such as the start of studying satoshi & gekkouga’s synchronization , pikachu shouting at satoshi for calling out onvern for a battle instead of him & getting pouty , the small details of satoshi’s eyes narrowing just as he’s about to resume battle with gekkouga having freshly powered up & his pupils contracting in a closeup when an attack is incoming which are such tiny things but delight me to no end , & just the enthusiasm with which satoshi goes into his decision to raise his own strength closer to that of gekkouga’s .

118 / xy&z25.

where can i even begin with this episode Holy Shit … first off , this ep reaffirmed to me that carne is such a delight , honestly , def one of my favorite champions , second … that battle though … that battle … poetic cinema … the battle choreography , the animation , the way satoshi - gekkouga’s theme seemed to perfectly sync up with what was on screen , satoshi moving in perfect sync with gekkouga’s movements as he attacked as though he were the one performing the attacks , the raw emotion in satoshi’s voice as he called out attacks & declarations of becoming much , much stronger … it was such a rush of adrenaline to watch , even bigger than the one i got while watching the gym battle between satoshi & citron , i felt like my heart stopped beating the moment the battle was abruptly ended by satoshi losing consciousness . & hey , the animator(s) responsible for the scenes with the white background & black paint splatters , let me get y’all’s number , i wanna treat y’all because holy fuck those were intense . i loved them .

119 / xy&z26.

this episode is less of a favorite due to what happens & more of a favorite due to the content as a whole . upsetting to him as it may have been , satoshi had been having a huge winning streak , alan & black - outs excluded , so a loss was imminent , & , honestly , understandable . seeing that shoota had surpassed him in an aspect & grown so strong in such a short amount of time got to him & affected his psyche ; kid got scared . he got nervous & , as we all know , a nervous trainer leads to a faulty battle . i will say though that the little bit after the internal thoughts in the middle of the jukain vs gekkouga battle of satoshi saying shoota surprised him delights me to no end & i blame how rica said the line along w/ the small motion satoshi makes while saying it .

120 / xy&z27.

satoshi literally saying “ hold my jacket while i fight this guy ” . i can’t call anything else a favorite even though i loved this episode because everything else just made me emotional & upset ; particularly the fact that the preview for the next episode was silent except for the snowy wind blowing & satoshi dejectedly reading out the title of the episode without even saying the “ everyone, get pokemon ” line at the end .

121 / xy&z28.

putting aside the upsetting factor of the title not being read out by anyone … the flashbacks of younger satoshi with all those wild pokemon really warmed my heart after all of the upsetting stuff that had been going on . also the moment of satoshi & gekkouga finally making their power their own , based on their mutual strong desire to save one pokemon , along with them both deciding to start fresh from zero , gekkouga rolling his monster ball towards satoshi just as like when he initially chose him & everything .

122 / xy&z29.

oh honey when satoshi - gekkouga showed up … oh Honey … again , the thing with satoshi moving in sync with gekkouga’s moves as though he were the one attacking , except this time even more intense than during the battle with carne ; for some reason the aerial ace kick downwards always gets me & that small bit is one of my top favorite parts of the entire episode somehow .

123 / xy&z30.

satoshi & eureka finishing off the preview for the next episode together while citron’s in the background wordvomiting about the wonders of ingenuities . that is all .

125 / xy&z32.

satoshi’s declarations of aiming to win the entire league , serena having to physically drag satoshi away from a battle before it begins when he’s already running out of time to get registered for the conference , satoshi doing the arm thing on trova , seeing the frustration of someone who failed to get all eight badges in time , just so many favorites across the episode .

126 / xy&z33.

the various mega - evolutions , tierno & shoota’s battle , & numelgon rejoining the team were all Oof .

127 - 128 / xy&z34 - 35.

satoshi’s eyes shining while watching alan’s fight honestly made my heart go ding , not gonna lie ; the boundless excitement building in him is real & it’s wonderful . & the start of the battle between satoshi & shoota … i felt like satoshi using pikachu’s electric ball against bloster’s grip was a nice callback to using it to get out of horubee’s grasp on his tail in the first episode , & honestly the part where satoshi had pikachu block gillgard’s entry into its shield was such a heh moment , like it really was so on brand for him to pull something like that , something that would have failed were the timing off even in the slightest ; also i really liked the small detail of satoshi’s pupils contracting when he spots a chance for dealing with king’s shield & the little laugh he did when shoota’s peroream returned the favor for what onvern did . but holy fuck the finale of the battle between satoshi & shoota … the fight between satoshi - gekkouga & mega jukain … oh man i absolutely felt that battle ; the adrenaline rush i got from watching it was on par with the gym battles against corni , citron , & urup , & the battle against carne . the raw power in it … wrow … the animation , the battle choreography , just how absolutely tangible the attacks were … but the true oof was yet to come … this was only the semi - finals … the biggest big dick energy of them all was still only just around the corner …

129 / xy&z36.

honestly this episode had just really tiny things that i liked , like the nurse joy at the beginning of the episode wishing for satoshi to do his best in the finals with a shine in her eyes which was honestly really cute , citron & eureka’s dad stealing the citroid’s line about waiting in line for 2h being an easy feat , the jirachi keychain , alan genuinely being excited for the finale & battling satoshi , & how could i list off favorites in this episode without mentioning the ending song , oh my god , it’s the softest & cutest & sweetest shit , i swear i could get a cavity from watching it on repeat .

130 - 131 / xy&z37 - 38.

ho - ly - shit . i mean , this was the finals match , so no fucking shit the battle would radiate big dick energy , but the absolute wave of power that ran over me while watching it was absolutely phenomenal . the animation , the movements , the emotion , the raw power behind each call of attack & execution of move , the absolutely palpable energy of the battle … whew … i needed to sit back for a few minutes & just catch my breath after all of that … like , putting aside how much hatred i have for the constant baiting of a league victory for satoshi ( with him declaring he’s aiming for victory throughout the entire series & a bunch of characters saying lines that imply a league victory ( not to mention , the final episode of the conference being called “ kalos league victory !! satoshi’s ultimate match !! ” , like holy shit , can you pull a bigger dick move ) ) , only for alan to beat satoshi - gekkouga with a move that he’d easily blocked before in spite of gekkouga using an insanely more powerful counter attack than the first time while also having the type advantage ( but go off i guess ) … it was an incredibly well executed battle & , really , the end result was the only thing that i would ( & did ) change . also , a bunch of tiny things that i really loved were citron’s hand trembling out of excitement during the start of the battle , luchabull coming out of his monster ball on his own when onvern was defeated & badly hurt , alan experiencing the same feeling that most trainers feel while battling satoshi —— the feeling of wanting the battle to continue on for as long as possible because they’re deriving such fun & enjoyment from the raw passion that arises in the midst of the fight , kojiro starting to root for satoshi & while initially giving him slack for it musashi & nyarth joining in on it , rocket gang stating that they were the ones that helped make satoshi as strong as he is ( which , honestly , go off y’all three because you’re so right & i’ve been saying it for a while now ) , & again , the fucking ending song , i swear it could cure my depression if i watched it enough times . & then there was the start of fleur - de - lis’ plan being set into motion …

132 - 134 / xy&z39 - 41.

rocket gang broadcasting live coverage of the happenings in miare city , the zygarde showdown , serena & platane going to save hari with manon & rocket gang following them & the “ this is that “ the enemy of our enemy is our friend ” thing ” , citron kicking flare gang ass … satoshi & gekkouga resisting energy that was powerful enough to control zygarde & satoshi’s speech of loving this world & there being people & pokemon he loves & the absolute raw Emotion in his delivery as he shifts into the bond phenomenon along with the return of … the Thing with the white background & black paint splatters (seriously , people responsible for those , hit me up & let me treat y’all ) … poetic cinema … in the midst of fighting against fleur - de - lis , satoshi honestly dropped some intense fucking lines , not gonna lie , & you can’t deny , like … “ fighting instinct, whatever … there’s more to a pokemon’s power than that. i’ve realized during my journey … that me & my pokemon’s strength is constantly believing in each other … & constantly loving each other no matter what. if you don’t get it, i will show you here & now !! ” & “fleur - de - lis !! i don’t care if you hate this world or not ; the world belongs to humans & pokemon alike. it belongs to everyone !! stop being selfish & talking about … how you’re going to destroy or change it, or that we won’t live to see tomorrow !! those who will meet someone dear to them tomorrow, those who will achieve their dreams tomorrow, those who will start their journeys as trainers tomorrow, & those whose wounds will heal tomorrow ; each & every one of them has their own tomorrow !! you have no good reason to not let them see that tomorrow !! that’s why … me & my pokemon will fight for their tomorrow !! ” were some raw as fuck lines . & speaking of raw as fuck … holy shit did eureka bringing squishy back to its senses absolutely tear me apart … this child … she’s scared for her life & in tears , but she’s not crying for herself , she’s crying for the one she’d promised to protect & never let go of … & she finds it in herself to sing to it the song she’d made up just for it & that she’d sung & hummed to it throughout their journeying together … & the more she sings it , the louder she does so , hoping , knowing … it will help bring her friend back … & it does . & , if you listen closely , you can hear edward in the background absolutely sobbing just remembering it all . oh but the emo shit doesn’t end there , oh no - no - no … there’s the citroid . i have one image for that …

135 - 136 / xy&z42 - 43.

putting aside the rocket gang also kicking flare gang ass & continuing to broadcast live coverage of the mayhem unfolding , i think we all know who the true hero of the zygarde arc was . it was eureka , that’s who . she befriended a basically - god & saved it & protected it & made it & another basically - god of it’s kind realize that the world is worth saving . i love her & i’m proud of her . that being said … eureka tickling a spot on the other z - core while saying that squishy likes when she does that & it just nodding next to her like she’s said the wisest truth in the universe was really hecking cute . the little detail of daigo kissing his key stone to activate mega evolution was neat , & oh damn carne & the gym leaders assembling to assist … they came in ready to kick ass & kick ass they did . everyone charging in on the megalith , even the rocket gang joining in , the back - to - back champion fighting , everyone doing everything within their power to save hari & stop the maglith … & the zygarde !!! “ we have set our hopes on humans. she has protected us this whole time. she promised she would never let us go. now it is our turn !! ” oh honey … i’m telling you , eureka saved the world with her kindness . but the use of the piano instrumental of squishy’s song when the zygarde are saying goodbye & the ending song bye nyarth was illegal , bye .

137 / xy&z44.

honestly just someone instantly recognizing satoshi from the league made me really happy somehow , especially since the only other time someone’s recognized him from a league that i can name of the top of my head was masato way back in advanced . the citroid learning about the joys of gym battles all over again was really nice , too .

138 / xy&z45.

serena deciding to hold a pokemon performance in miare city’s square to lift everybody’s spirits higher with sana & musashi joining her in it absolutely lit my heart up , so i’d say serena was quite successful in her plan . also , satoshi pointing out things he knows are of interest to serena while they’re out in the city & him pulling her along by the hand to battle when he notices her being gloomy was really cute & sweet ; i might not be on board for them as a ship but man i can so absolutely see the appeal . also - also , the mention of pokemon contests !!! which makes me think that it’d be really interesting for serena to meet with haruka & hikari & their rivals & face off against them , which i know we’ll never get to see but it’s nice to think about . also - also - also , yashio saying she’s a fan of serena’s & the beginning of dori dori kicking in really yanked at my heart strings & still makes me instantly turn into a tearful mess , thanks .

139 / xy&z46.

the long - distance battling with satoshi - gekkouga was really nice , especially since i’m particularly fond of any & all scenes that display the powers / abilities brought out by the bond phenomenon ( something i might make a post on some day , actually , since it really is such an interesting thing to think about ) … but alas , it was time to say goodbye to gekkouga … it was sad , yes , but the knowledge that their bond will always connect them no matter the physical distance is a comfort … the promise between squishy & eureka to go on an adventure again when eureka’s a trainer sort of punched me in the soul , honestly .

140 / xy&z47.

hanako & okido !!! pikachu squishing his face on the monitor !!! satoshi leaning way into the camera !!! it was all so cute !! also , rocket gang editing the footage they filmed so that it looked like they were the ones responsible for the defeat of the flare gang & it actually working ; i also really liked the little heh detail with the solrock & lunatone keychains as a nudge about the upcoming sumo series . but good lord eureka’s speech to dedenne about not wanting to say goodbye either but knowing that they have to & that one day she’ll become a trainer with dedenne as her partner … i barely skimmed over that part while rewatching the episode & even two lines from it made me start crying . also , what does it say about me that the first thing i thought when citron said “ [..] can i also ask one last favor ?? there is something i want to do very badly. ” was if he wanted to kiss satoshi too ?? i will say though , them having one last battle before parting ways warmed my heart a lot … the flashbacks of everyone’s adventures throughout this journey & the glimpses of what the side cast were up to hit me in the emotions , but what truly played my heart like a violin concerto … was satoshi coming home . there was no big fanfare , no grand welcome back , just a boy returning to his home town after a long journey , nothing but the sounds of the night accompanying him as he makes his way to his house , followed by a message of “ & to your own way. ” , unlike in previous finales where the send - off was “ next time … a new beginning !! ” , a sign that , from here on out , we are no longer going to follow satoshi , that , though he still has a ways to go before achieving his goal of becoming a pokemon master , we won’t be accompanying him on his next journey . the way satoshi arriving in masara town was executed … it felt final & it really felt like coming home . & i for one can only wish satoshi the best on his next adventure .

#naktsvilks #answered #this isnt me talking about even HALF of the series' episodes #i think there's like 60 tops #& theres 140 eps in the series #so do the math #kjdshfg no but this is basically all of my favorite eps / moments condensed into one post #i really did love xy/z so much..#rewatching it is an absolute blast #* !! pkmn is autistic culture.

Last Saturday night I was at a David Duchovny concert in Vancouver. The concert venue was at the Imperial - a great venue- but in a neighborhood that the Urban Dictionary says is the worst neighborhood in all of Canada and some homeless advocacy groups argue is the poorest neighborhood in all of North America. Many of us at the concert had traveled to Vancouver from across the globe and there was some fear and trepidation which I over heard from other concert goers about this neighborhood. I had worked as a homeless advocate and have been on the board of a homeless shelter in the 90′s in Albuquerque. I want to share my viewpoints of my experience in the worst neighborhood in Canada from an X-File frame of view because what brought me to Vancouver on October 14 was, of course, to see David Duchovny in Vancouver where the X-files was and is being filmed during a week-end which included 1013 Friday. How does homelessness and the X-file find a theme together? That is outlined in the link to the video above.

I guess one way to set the mood is to say that my friend and I were only spending a week-end in Vancouver, but many other David Duchovny fans had been in Vancouver a week and had been to many famous filming sites. My friend and I were staying at a Ramada fairly near the venue. We drove through the area at first looking for parking before deciding that the valet parking at the Ramada was the best choice. As we drove by I said- looking at the homeless and the city streets and remembering the video above- “oh, my God, this is the neighborhood they shot “Home Again” in.” I realize, of course, the complete insensitivity to the plight of homelessness to see it in such focused X-file terms, but it was my frame of mind at the time. My friend and I did in fact look for the filming sites of “Home Again” as we walked around the neighborhood, but because it is from the last season which we have not yet seen hundreds of times (only dozens) we were unable to locate exact locations. We did watch the episode again back in Seattle the night before I flew home.

On Saturday morning we decided to walk to the Ovaltine Restaurant (the filming location of a scene in Jose Chung) and to go by the venue. We found ourselves walking down what I now realize is the area considered the worst two blocks in at least Canada and possibly North America. The poverty was clear- people living in tents on the street a few blocks away from some fine, upscale and beautiful neighborhoods. We then went to the Ovaltine Restaurant, the venue, back to the hotel for an hour of two, back to the venue to stand in line (starting at noon), walked back through the neighborhood to gastown for a bite to eat and back to the venue to stand in line again, before taking a cab back to the hotel after the concert.

I want to state fairly clearly that there was not one time I felt scared or fearful (although I would not walk back to the hotel in the evening because I am not foolish) and the only time I was asked for money was after leaving the venue after the concert. As we walked down the blocks at 9 a.m on a Saturday morning, we were greeted with “Good morning Ladies” and comments that our coffee cups were pink. When our way was blocked and I said “excuse me” people moved out of the way politely. There was nothing unpleasant about that walk except for being confronted with the fact that poverty exists and people (human beings) live in horrific conditions day in and day out.

As we stood in line for 6 hours to see a concert, there was an need on an occasion to use a restroom. The coffee shop sometimes let you and sometimes said that it was just for customers so my friend and I started using the community center on the corner which was truly more of a homeless center. Again, I was greeted, offered water and shown the restroom. My friend found blood in one of the restrooms so we climbed the stairs to use one on the other floor. There were food being served, there were disposable containers for needles, there were signs telling people where to go if they were overdosing. People were being afforded respect and dignity. I was impressed.

Here are some statistics from “Addressing Homelessness in Metro Vancouver” a white paper published in February 2017.

An estimated 80% of homeless people suffer a chronic health issue (45% suffer two or more health conditions concurrently)15 b. 44% of sheltered and 55% of unsheltered homeless have an addiction (2014)16 c. 33% of sheltered and 36% of unsheltered homeless suffer mental illness (2014)10 d. 30% of sheltered and 27% of unsheltered homeless have a physical disability (2014)1

As we stood in line several neighborhood people talked to us. We actually had sandwiches we did not want to eat, but couldn’t find any person that wanted the sandwiches. Again most neighborhood people were polite, courteous and curious about why so many of us were waiting in line in front of a concert venue 6 hours before the doors opened. I laughed on and off for hours at a woman who said “what are you protesting?” I told my friend that we were the laziest protesters ever - no signs, no marching, no chanting- worst protest ever. At one point a women who appeared to be suffering from withdrawal of some time fell. Other people in line offered her assistance but she could not focus on them enough to accept their help. She was in her own world. After a few minutes when I witnessed her getting her shaking under control and her checking her legs to see if she was hurt, i went up to her. From her perspective I was a big brown blob walking up to her and I startled her. I told her that when she was ready I was willing to help and she desperately reached for my hands. I helped her up and she grasped a tree until she was ready to stand and walk on her own. I offered her food. She did not want it. She never asked for money. Never threatened me.

The next morning I woke up thinking of that episode “Home again” and the point of the episode. I wondered how many of us X-Files fans might have thought back to that episode that night having experienced these and other moments. The point - people are not trash. They are not disposable. They are not to be discarded. I can walk away from that neighborhood and I can avoid the similar downtown areas in Albuquerque, but the people and the problem still exist. From my experience in Albuquerque I know the underlying issues of homelessness - mental health issues, substance abuse, traumatic brain injuries, lack of literacy, lack of job skills, disenfranchisement from society, family and friends having giving up on them. I know that veterans make up a large percentage of our homeless population in America, I know that senior citizen homeless numbers rose drastically in 2008 and subsequent years when retirement savings were loss and, like Vancouver, native people are a higher percentage in the homeless population than in the general population. We can look to our educational systems, our prisons systems, our health care services (especially for the mentally ill), our foster care systems and juvenile care systems and to our economy. The reality is a whole lot of us who go through our lives as hard working, normal citizens are closer to homelessness than we would like to admit. In the past year I had to borrow money from friends and move into a friends home because of unemployment and I actually consider myself a fairly successful human. We are all just humans doing the best we can in our life with what we have. Nothing could remind us more of that than having spent so much time in that area around people who despite their issues were polite and courteous to us.

I know our fan groups are a socially conscious and caring group of people who donate to all kinds of causes - let David Duchovny issue a post asking people to donate to charities on his birthday and beautiful things happen. The proceeds from this concert went to hurricane victim. This is a fan group which organizes volunteer and donation events for charities in honor of Gillian Anderson’s and Scully’s birthday. The holiday season is ahead of us . I am especially asking something of every one who attended that concert and interacted that night with a person who lives on the street in the worst neighborhood of North America. If you fall into this category, than this holiday season in honor of “Home Again” and the X-files they do something in your communities to alleviate the effects of homelessness, reduce the possibility of someone becoming homeless or end some of the underlying causes of homelessness - take blankets or socks to a shelter, donate to a literacy program, call your legislators and demand better services for addiction treatment. Buy subways cards and pass them out whenever you see someone with a sign saying hungry.

At the very least, the next time you are in a situation where you are going to interact with homeless individuals (perhaps because of a David Duchovny concert), please treat people with respect and kindness. People are not trash. They are not disposable. I was reminded of this last Saturday.

The week was exciting and full of intriguing stories, so guys let's take you through how they all happened.

This week has been full of interesting stories and gist as usual from your favourite celebrities.

From the beginning of the week we got to see sibling rivalry continue, a celebrity graduating from university, even some celebrity claimed to have been attacked by SARS again! As usual, the dragging and calling out game happened during the week.

Well, the week began with Paul Okoye responded to the accusations earlier made by his twin brother, Peter Okoye of insulting his family. Paul Okoye while granting an interview with a radio station was asked about his twin brother's latest accusation and he gave a very diplomatic answer to the question.

"These are sensitive questions and the fact that it is sensitive there are ways you will say it and the way you people will just create news out of it. The way you people are lost about this issue is the same way I am seeing the issue too.

"Just understand this, it Is not good for me, it is not good for anybody yes people will tell you that they have been hearing one side of the story and they want to hear my own side of the story, I am not giving anybody any story. I always say this I didn't work hard for twenty years to destroy stuff like that, ok, I don't know, to be honest with you, I don't know," he said.

2. Nina graduates from Imo State University

Away from sibling rivalry and drama, former Big Brother Naija housemate, Nina during the week, graduated from Imo State University. A very excited Nina took to her Instagram page where she posted photos from school.

"4 years, 62 courses, 8 semesters. Finally, it’s over...I remember 4 years ago when I got admission Always running for lectures chai. No more lectures. No more assignments. No more impromptu Saturday test. Mama, I made it. To you Lord who made this possible. I will praise you forever. You are merciful. You are my Jehova overdo. You are my unchangable changer.

"The face of betrayal. I hope @realdonaldtrump catches you and deports you!!! Deserted band 20mins before concert because he wants to stay in America. BETRAYER Absconded bassist 20 mins before concert! ANDREW AGHEDO! Those who defend you are just like you. You try to destroy other people to get on in life. It doesn’t work like that," she wrote.

4. Jude Okoye says he used to be a bus conductor

While Peter and Paul Okoye continued to wash their dirty linens in public, their elder brother, Jude Okoye was serving us some motivational goals on Instagram. According to Jude Engees, he used to be a bus conductor in Lagos before things turned around for him.

"DID YOU KNOW....? My first 4 nights in Lagos in 1995 was spent under ijora bridge stranded cos of music hustle. Had to do conductor work route ijora - jibowu every day to survive. #mondaymotivation," he said.

"The past few weeks have been incredibly trying and difficult, but God’s love has kept me and my family going. I can't thank my team enough and the incredible love from you all. May God keep us all. #StrongerTogether'... " he captioned the photo.

7. Waje has a message for her former personal assistants

Waje appears to be one of those celebrities who hardly get dramatic on social media but this week, the singer wasn't having any of it as she called out her former personal assistants on Instagram. According to her, you have to work hard to be able to achieve anything in life.

" Dear young people, you have to work! You think cause of the clothes and lifestyle, we hang with our legs and sit with makeup and a smile? It's disheartening. You send me dm's of how you want a job etc. In the last 3 months, I have worked with four personal assistants with everyone complaining that the job is stressful. So you think the job was taking pictures?" she wrote.

8. Mercy Aigbe's estranged husband says he owns her and their son

The strained relationship between Mercy Aigbe and her estranged husband, Lanre Gentry has continued to be the topic of discussion among tabloids. In a recent interview with PUNCH, Lanre Gentry revealed his relationship status with the actress.

"Mercy and Juwon are my property," he said when asked about Mercy Aigbe's Instagram post during the Father's day celebration. When queried about reuniting with Aigbe after the actress moved out of their matrimonial home, Gentry said he's waiting to hear from the actress as regards dissolving their marriage legally because they are still married according to the Nigerian marital laws.

Ok guys, thanks for reading and staying online to our platform, we hope you continue to do so while having an exciting week ahead.

Corey’s Law: Unblocking Justice

We Are Change

In this video, Luke Rudkowski of WeAreChange gives you the latest breaking news on the Al Franken KABC anchor scandal, Amazon along with Jeff Bezo’s becoming the most powerful entities in the world, Twitter censorship of baked Alaska, important financial news plus a lot more.

youtube

This video from researcher ‘The Black Child’ from 2014, called ‘Hollywood Casting Couch: Satan’s Playground’, contains some outrageous claims about how new stars are treated when they’re making their debut in the entertainment industry.

youtube

The graphic claims in this video would have seemed extreme or at the least an exaggeration of the truth, before the event of Harvey Weinstein being accused of sexual harassment on October 5th.

[RELATED: Black Cube: Saturn Occult Symbolism]

Corey Feldman, an actor who rose to fame in the 1980s, went on The View which broadcasts live from the ABC Broadcast Center in New York in 2013, to tell the world about the paedophiles in Hollywood. Barbara Walters told Feldman that HE was destroying an entire industry. As if that should be our main concern and not the protection of innocent children!

youtube

At the end of October Feldman launched his TRUTH Campaign. He started an indiegogo to raise money, the page explains:

“In his book, Coreyography, Corey describes what happened but it isn’t clear who exactly the predators are. The best way, he feels, in order to tell the whole story, is for Corey to come forward in the form of a film about his life.”

One of the main barriers to Feldman getting justice is the statute of limitations. wksexcrimes.com explains:

“A statue of limitations is essentially a time limit on when charges can be filed against you for a crime. This time limit exists because evidence, including the recollection of witnesses and the parties involved, deteriorates over time.”

The information below seems to suggest that Feldman is out of time to prosecute.

Information from wksexcrimes.com

Today Feldman tweeted about a new petition that he really feels he can support.

NOW THIS IS A MOVEMENT I CAN FULLY SUPPORT! PLEASE SHARE WITH EVERY1 U KNOW: Corey's Law https://t.co/gjmaPJJVwf

— Corey Feldman (@Corey_Feldman) November 17, 2017

Charisse, a freelance writer and others questioned the wording of the petition on Twitter and suggested changing it.

I think the petition should be to "remove" the statute of limitations, not extend it. Can the wording be changed?

— ???Charisse??? (@charissemarie) November 17, 2017

So far Feldman has raised 2% of his $10,000,000 goal although the goal is flexible.

I MUST ADMIT, IM FEELING VERY DISCOURAGED. THE NEEDLE IS BARELY MOVING, I HAV BEEN VIRTUALLY IGNORED BY HOLLYWOOD @ THIS POINT. I HAV NO WEALTHY INVESTORS. I APPRECIATE EVERY 1 OF U WHO HAS DONATED, BUT @ THIS POINT I DONT HAV ENUFF 4 SECURITY 4 MY FAM. LET ALONE MAKE A FILM!

— Corey Feldman (@Corey_Feldman) November 16, 2017

If you want to see Feldman’s explanation of what he plans to spend the money on, see his open letter below.

The trend to expose Hollywood and the music industry has gained more support since the accusations against Weinstein, with singer Kaya Jones coming forward too. Jones, a past member of the popular group ‘The Pussy Cat Dolls’, who broke up in 2010, came forward with descriptions of exactly the same type of treatment as described in The Black Child video above.

My truth.I wasn’t in a girl group. I was in a prostitution ring.Oh & we happened to sing & be famous. While everyone who owned us made the $
