tbh I’m reblogging this for both the epic headcanon and the Xander gif.

It baffles and infuriates me that Hogwarts students don’t take Latin or Greek. Accio? Literally “I summon.” Lumos? Fucking “light.” Expelliarmus? Expel weapon!! Ooooh I wonder what Levicorpus does– you Dumb Ass Bastard. You ILLITERATE. It’s called Levicorpus, it lifts someone’s body, it LEVIES your goddamn CORPUS-

As a fellow writer on this site, who writes several characters - Darcy Lewis, Lady Sif, Wanda Maximoff, and Laura Barton (and that’s just my Marvel canons) - I would like to double down on the hope for the Warriors Three, Coulson’s team, and Pepper.

To anyone who likes Marvel and roleplays on jcink...

Looking for Pepper for my Tony, also warriors three, Coulson’s team (minus Skye and Ward). PM me if you’re interested!

This or That

Saw this posted by @gyoroandururun​ and thought I’d give it a go...

Honey and lemon or milk and sugar // musicals or plays // lemonade or iced tea // strawberries or raspberries // winter or summer // beaches or forests // diners or cafés // unicorns or dragons // gemstones or crystals // hummingbirds or owls // fireworks or sparklers // brunch or happy hour // sweet or sour // Rome or Amsterdam // classic or modern art // sushi or ramen // sun or moon // polka dots or stripes// macarons or croissants // glitter or matte // degas or seurat (this is an artist preference thing - they’re actually both pretty awesome, I just like ballerinas more and Degas paints a lot of them) // aquariums or planetariums // road trips or camping trips // colouring books or water colours // fairy lights or candles

I’m not going to tag anyone, though. Don’t know people well enough ‘round here yet. xD

If the Loki show doesn’t talk about Thanos and what happened in that year in between, Imma gonna have to throw hands.

This is why I, to this day, prefer the older films. The first Thor would have been incredibly different if they had stuck to the original script in its entirety, and refused to allow Tom Hiddleston agency in the way he portrayed Loki.

This is why, beyond a shadow of a doubt, the opening scene of Infinity War falls incredibly flat. Because we know Loki wouldn’t do that. It did not feel like Loki. It actually felt like something I would have anticipated Thor to do - before he was considered an adult. It felt stupid, and ridiculous, and so not cunning and intelligent and...and it lacked Loki’s mischief.

Yes. When I first sat through the film, I curled into a ball and whimpered my way through the scene so loudly I would have missed his last words if I wasn’t so tuned into hearing his voice. I blame TDW for that, I can’t watch Tom in a death scene.

But that doesn’t mean that, in later analysis of the scene, I haven’t noticed the significant change Loki’s character had been forced into. This was not the Loki we knew and loved. This was...a caricature, a parody, still artfully acted but falling flat on a deeply personal level.

And everyone felt like that, except maybe Tony Stark and Peter Parker - Tony because he was the pillar upon which the MCU was constructed, Peter because Tom Holland somehow captures the perfect chaotic teenager energy.

There’s a lot wrong with Infinity War, and even more with Endgame. Those two films, along with Ragnarok, had moments of pure perfection. But only moments, and usually it was something of a shock-factor-moment-of-awesome.

I realize I have barely stopped complaining for four months, but I honestly think that if anything we should be talking even more about how Marvel’s first two phases gave us one female superhero each, the token woman on each of their two teams (nothing so much as a solo movie, don’t be silly, we had to wait ten years for that), and in the culmination of the Infinity Saga, both of those women were thrown off a cliff.

We as audience had to watch them plummet to their deaths. We had to look at their lifeless broken bodies at the bottom of a mystical space ravine. We were supposed to see one of those deaths as something to cheer for in its heroism. We had to accept that an abuser’s claim of love that the recipient denied was still love, and had exactly the same import as the love of a best friend.

We had to see men feel Emotions at the top of those cliffs in the immediate aftermath of these women’s deaths, and then see men with romantic interests react with rage and violence at each loss. We didn’t get to see emotional reactions about the value these women’s lives had held. We had to hear that even when everyone else can be brought back to life, there’s no way someone can ever be freed from the soul stone, and these women were just the necessary casualties of this plot device.

And then they had the audacity to give us that all-women fighting scene, which should have been a rousing moment for those of us who are invested in female characters, but instead rang fundamentally hollow, when Natasha wasn’t there and the Gamora who was there wasn’t the one we had followed through multiple movies of growth. That scene told us that all women are interchangeable, and now that we have enough OTHER women the two we started with aren’t necessary and their absence doesn’t even need to be acknowledged within the scene.

Of course neither character is missing from the future of the MCU; Civil War-era Natasha will be in the Black Widow prequel movie and pre-GOTG1 Gamora will be in GOTG3. But the characters the audience has formed attachments to are permanently gone. They didn’t get to say goodbye to people they cared about. If they were mourned, we didn’t get to see it.

I get that it’s a movie. I get that it came out over four months ago. But we should absolutely still be angry. They both deserved better.
