THUNDERBOLTS* SPOILERS!!!

(for the "Jim Hopper is my father in my head" girls that are also marvel girls)

Not be that annoying sad bitch but is there anyone else that can't get yelena saying "daddy, I'm so alone" out of their head?

Like I went to see this for my favorite sexy super soldier and russian assassin but I left with like the biggest weight in my chest.

And yes ik, it's a mental health awareness movie, I just didn't think it was going to make me aware of MY shitty mental health and parental issues.

Jim Hopper 🤝 Alexei Shostakov: characters that I can project onto as a father figure

Hey! I just wanted to make a quick little visual for anyone who may be trying to find out if their fics were used in the AI sweep on ao3!

Ik not everyone is great with big numbers visually so it definitely may help to line up the numbers in your fic link with the base number, like so:

If you find that your fic has been used, I strongly urge you to look into the AI trained using your work and REPORT THEM! Many people here on tumblr have been dropping the links to the sites that include the fics stolen from ao3.

You're entitled to your own work and ideas, don't let anyone make you think differently! Reblogs for this post are appreciated, the more people stand up for their own works, the less likely it is that this happens again!

[helpwhatsthis]

Hey so if you went to an early screening of Thunderbolts* and you're posting about it, please keep in mind: THIS MOVIE DOES NOT COME OUT FOR TWO MORE WEEKS TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC!!!

Marvel does test screening all the time and this was the first time they've been this open with it and all you're doing if you post spoilers is showing them exactly why Marvel fans are truly the reason this franchise is falling off.

So if you get on the internet and openly run your mouth, fuck you. You're an asshole. Some people actually enjoy going into a Marvel movie on opening day and being surprised. Hope you enjoyed it this one fucking time bc I highly doubt they'll do this again.

I'm trying really hard to pump out this last chapter of my Johnny Storm fic because I have a feeling that when Thunderbolts* comes out my brain will become Lewis Pullman centric for like a month so bear with me guys!

Chapter Summary: The Space Launch project goes terribly, horribly wrong.

Warnings: yk space ship go boom (obviously f4 stuff,) badly written angst, not the best but I needed to lead up to the ch.3 main event.

 Five Hours and Thirty-Two Minutes to Launch’ 

“Can you go check on Johnny, sweetie? The crew should be here any minute.” Sue places a hand on your shoulder, pulling your attention away from the daily schedule in your hands. You jump at her touch, not expecting something to break your focus. 

Today's agenda was to wake up and immediately start prepping to be filmed, which was mostly the same as the last six months. The news of Reed's newest project had blown away the public and now you were busier than ever, trying to help him manage his time between loads of press and making sure the project actually went smoothly. Finally, it was launch day; and you were very much looking forward to a few days of nothing that would follow. 

You give her a curt nod and immediately begin making your way to Johnny’s room. He seems to be the only one taking the stress of living in a glass box for half a year just as badly as you; maybe even more so. Ever since Reed's initial “Meet The Family” interview for ‘The Daily Bugle’ the ladies of New York loved Johnny Storm.

A string of curses and thumps leave his room as you near his bedroom door. “J, is everything okay in there?” You rap your knuckles on the door, calling out to him tensely. The sound of something metal falling over a hiss of Shit- is what greets you back. 

“The damn zipper is stuck!” He all but screeches, and you can hear him fumbling toward the door. He slams it open, hair a mess, blush on his cheeks, and suit hanging off his shoulders. You can’t help the snort that passes your lips, hand shooting up to muffle your laughter. He sets his jaw and narrows his eyes at you. 

“I’m sorry-” You shake your head, trying to will away the last of your amusement. “Do you need help?” 

“Please.” He huffs, big brown eyes rolling as he nods his head into his room for you to follow. The place is in complete disarray, objects knocked over and other clothes strung across the floor. “I still don’t understand why I’m the only one who has to wear this stupid thing for the before videos-” He stills in front of his mirror, back to you so that you can fix the zipper clasps and zipper on the inside of his suit. 

“You have to wear it because all of the girls are gonna think you just look sooo cute in it.” You laugh, reaching around him to try and pinch his cheek. That had been your own routine lately. You tease and prod at him for being some kind of heartthrob to hide that it annoys you just as badly as it does him. 

“I don’t see what’s so cute about a radiation suit that looks like pajamas.” He shrugs your hand away, eyeing the suit with disdain in the mirror. 

“Lot’s of girls like it when guys have that soft, snuggly look.” You shrug, reaching into the back of his suit and pulling up the zipper with ease. You stall for a moment, taking in his reflection over his shoulder.

“They do?” He doesn’t notice your gaze, eyes looking back at you in question. Your vision meets his, locking in a still moment, faces only inches apart. 

“Yeah-” You try to say, but it comes out as more of a whisper. You body is leaning into his back on it’s own accord, facing angling your lips right towards his- 

“Oh kiddos! The news crew is here!” Ben shouts from down the hall. You drop back down on your heels, stepping away from him quickly. Johnny’s head falls forward, a sigh leaving his lips as he turns to face you. You force an awkward smile at him, turning to leave his room. What was I thinking? Well obviously I wasn’t but-

“-wait!” He grabs your wrist, pulling you back to him. “I need to tell you something.” His eyes search your face, panic setting into his own features. 

“Tell me tomorrow-” You laugh, pulling away from him. “Okay, Hotshot?” It’s said with humor that you don’t feel, anxiety rising up your throat. “It might sound cooler coming from an astronaut.” You shrug him off and quickly make your way out of his room.

  

  ...

 

‘Fifteen Minutes to Launch’  

Apprehension lines you face as you watch them shuffle into the ship from the observation control room. You’d rather be out on the observation deck, wishing them good luck along with half of the population of New York. 

“They’re gonna be fine, Hun.” Victor smiles, pulling you away from your thoughts. His hands reach for your own to try and make them ease up on your coffee cup that is moments away from shattering. “This is Reed for god’s sake.” He laughs, but you can see the worry behind his own eyes. “He’s planned this all to a T and Sue didn’t leave any room in the schedule for things to go wrong.” 

"Yeah, no, I know.” You nod. 

 

‘ Three, Two, One… Blast Off!’

Whoops and hollers are heard around the room of the control deck as the rocket disconnects from the launch pad. Your own unabashed smile breaks out as you watch them go sailing up, up, and up.

“Fuck yeah, Reed!” Vic yells, shaking your shoulder from behind. The energy is contagious as he happily makes his way closer to the window to watch the sky. The two of you stand like that for a long time, even after the little dot of the ship is no longer visible to your eyes. You feel like a child, standing there smiling up at the clouds. 

“Is anyone else picking this up on the radar?” One of the techs calls out after some time. Something akin to fear and confusion lace his voice. 

Then the panic starts-

“Dr. Richards! You need to get out of there, now!” You feel like you can’t breathe. Your brain is so overridden with panic that your body refuses to carry out any function. It’s all shouts and bustle behind you but you can’t pull your eyes away from the sky. 

That's when you see it, a little blip of light that probably wouldn’t have been noticed if there weren’t hundreds of people looking up. 

Silence-

“Oh my god.” One of the techs is crying. 

“Bring that thing home right now!” Victor screams. Your body slumps against the window. They’re gone- He’s gone- Johnny’s… dead. 

This isn’t like you, curled up in a ball on the floor and crying in a room full of people. You just can’t stop repeating it to yourself over and over. Johnny’s dead. Time passes blindly to you. You’re unsure if it's been minutes or hours until they’re able to set the ship on a course back. 

Hand’s on your shoulders are what pull you back, finally bringing your vision to something that isn’t the carpet. 

“I’m gonna take you home, okay kid?” Vic asks you softly. You sit a minute, just taking him in. His normally clean, pressed suit is untucked and wrinkled. His eyes are bloodshot and his face is sweaty and red. 

It’s real. They’re dead. Reed is dead. Sue is dead. Ben is dead. Johnny is dead.

The ride back to the Baxtor building is a blur. You have no idea how you got from point A to point B. Hell, you didn’t even realize you were home until your head hit Johnny's pillow. 

Your family is dead, and you didn’t even get to tell them that they were your family.

Keeping Your Heart Safe?

Part One of Lost In The Fire- J.S. X Reader

Looking for another chapter? Check out the series navigation!

Chapter Summary: Johnny doesn't like crowds, which can be difficult at parties. His anxiety at his birthday party is only worsened by what his life may become after the space launch project.

Warnings: lowkey it’s kind of a Johnny Storm character study (that will eventually lead to smut), reader has regenerative healing, angst, mentions of Johnny and Sue's parents death, these little shits are angsty asf dude idk

It's safe to say that most people probably would have given up under your circumstances already. You'd spent your entire life into your twenties looking for another person like you. Day and night, hours upon hours, leaving people behind and putting yourself (and sometimes others) in harms way for the slim chance that you might find another one. A mutant. Maybe that's just your luck? Some cruel joke played on you by the universe that you would be the only person among billions with... well, with what? Superpowers? Inhumane abilities? Yeah, that figures.

That's how Reed found you though, and you were thankful for that at least. Of course the always intuitive Reed Richards would notice the one person that just seemed a little too interested in the exhibit on genetic mutations at the science expo; and for every bit of intuition Reed has, his kindness and determination always seem to match it. Did he really need to pull you out of the crowd and confirm what exactly was different about you? No. Did he need to hire you on as his assistant just so that he could keep and eye on you? Again, no. Most of all, Reed definitely didn't need to move you off of the streets and into the Baxter building or try to start integrating you into his little family; but he did because that's just the kind of person he is.

Did you really need to grit your teeth and act annoyed the whole way through it even though you were fully aware that Reed may have saved your life in the process? No, but that's just the kind of person you are. Mostly because you've never really felt stable since the incident, you might just need to leave one day and it would be a whole lot easier if you didn't let yourself pretend like you were one of them. Like you were normal.

You'd like to think you were doing a pretty good job too, if it weren't for Johnny of course. Sickeningly Sweet and enragingly gentle Johnny. Not one little bit scared pf what you can do and definitely not eager to point out your differences or mistakes. It's amazing really, how he can be so indifferent about all of it. When Ben had told him that you were something akin to superhuman, he acted as if he'd been told something as mundane as your eye color.

"Correct me of I'm wrong, but isn't the birthday boy supposed to actually attend his own party?" You him, leaning against the door frame of the terrace. Johnny's head snaps around in surprise that he's been caught. He's been expecting his sister to come and find him for that past forty-five minutes and try to convince him to come back to the party; but he grins when he sees your own soft smile and eyebrows raised in question.

"Well shouldn’t the assistant be making sure that nothing goes horribly wrong at said party?” He laughs as you make your way to the edge of the balcony, sitting down carefully beside him. His hand immediately finds your shoulder when he sees you shiver at the sight below you, he doesn’t know the exact reason but he does know that you’re not a huge fan of heights. He supposes it’s got something to do with bad memories like most things you don’t like; which is, well… most things.

“I’d say the guest of honor disappearing is pretty wrong.” He smiles at your attempt to keep up the banter, but your eyes haven’t left the lights of the city beneath your feet. You look nervous and Johnny hates that. Finally, you gulp and pull your eyes up to him. “So why exactly are you out here?”

“You know how I feel about crowds…” He shrugs, trying to play it off like this is any normal event; but it’s different tonight. He’s different tonight.

“We start prepping for the space launch tomorrow.” He sighs, shoulders sinking in more. His words cause more confusion than clarity. Sure, Johnny was always shy and nervous. He’s better alone than in a crowd and he’s defiantly better with silence than small talk, but this wasn’t like him at all. He loved things like this. Johnny Storm is the epitome of an adrenaline junkie disguised as a puppy.

“Yeah… and that’s cool right? You get to go to space!” You force a smile, trying to lean forward into his line of view. “I mean even though your brother-in-law is a genius this still seems like a once in a lifetime opput-”

“I think Reed and Sue are going to try to have a baby when the project is over.” 

Oh?

“I know it’s unfair and I know I should be happy; I mean I’m going to be an uncle and that’s amazing…” He trails off, trying to blink the welling tears out of his eyes. “-but everything is going to be different after that. No more messing around in the lab in the middle of the night. No more dangerous experiments. Even Ben is starting to spend more time with that girl Alicia-” His voice cracks, head dropping as the dame breaks. “Life has always been the same since mom and dad died, it’s always been me and my sister and her husband and his best friend. I wanna be happy for them but I’m just scared because my family is changing again. ”

“Jesus, Johnny.” You sigh, pulling his body into a hug. It’s strange, you can’t remember the last time you were this careless in your closeness with someone but it just feels so good when he curls his body into you. It feels so good that Johnny feel safe with you. “It’s gonna be okay, J.” You promise, rubbing his back softly. “You’ve got the best big sister in the whole world. Things are going to be different but it’s not like you’re lives are just going to stop if they have a baby. You’ll still be just as important to your family even if there are a few new members.” You smile when he laughs a little.

He peaks his head out of its hiding place in your chest. “You know their your family too, right?” He asks softly. A sudden abundance of heat fills your chest.  You both sit in silence, just taking one another in with sad smiles on your faces. His hands start to inch up, slowly moving towards your jaw. It would be so easy to just lean into him-

“There you guys are!” Your head snaps to the doorway. “Come on, guys. Sue is gonna rip me a new one if you aren’t there for cake, man.” Ben laughs, eyeing you both with a stupid smirk on his face. 

Reluctantly, you follow him back into the penthouse. It’s a good thing too, you think. You can’t stop cursing yourself the rest of the night for how utterly stupid you almost were, even when Johnny’s eyes don’t leave you as he blows out the flames of his candles.

Lost In The Fire

JQ Johnny Storm x Reader

The Navigation Post!

Chapter One: Keeping Your Heart Safe?

Summary: Johnny doesn't like crowds, which can be difficult at parties. His anxiety at his birthday party is only worsened by what his life may become after the space launch project.

Chapter Two: I Can't Lose You, Babe

Summary: The Space Launch Project goes horribly, terribly wrong.

Chapter Three: I Want You To Stay

A/N: I’m gonna just go ahead and call this an AU since the movie hasn’t come out yet and I’m running off vibes alone.

Tumblr is being slow for me so I can't post on here yet, but I just posted part one (of three) on my new JQ Johnny Storm fic on ao3!

(Sorry guys I haven't figured out ao3 links I'm new okay)

[helpwhatsthis]

for anyone wondering what it actually smells like, it's kinda like an earthy mahogany cologne but toned down and with like a sweet clean laundry smell (in my opinion.) it's exactly what I expect him to smell like, the only thing missing is that he would also smell like stale cigarette smoke.

That Eddie Munson’s leather jacket bath and body works candle is no joke it smells so fucking good and just like him I swear to god

Hai! Would you be okay writing sfw and nsfw dating headcanons for eric (aqpdo) x reader? please :)

absolutely!!! I currently don't have internet and I do all of my writing on my laptop so it might be a little while, but that's my first order of business when I get it back!

look I'm not against all the wade x reader x logan fics, but god pls tell me there is someone else out there that sees the vision for wade x logans daughter??

like that's great for yall but I can't see logan as anything more that a father figure. (a father that would be PISSED to find out his kid and wade are into each other)

[helpwhatsthis]

since there were geta fics within the hour of the trailer drop.... is it too early for johnny storm???

[helpwhatsthis]

HELL YEAH BABY!!!

either they're lying to us about his character, or this movie is going to be extremely inaccurate!!!

(aka fuel for the geta x reader plots!!!)

first off, geta was the younger of the two siblings and most people would say that he's the better brother. (he was still shitty, he was a roman emperor so like obviously a bad dude) even though he and caracalla argued all the time and geta was always the one who tried to get them to put aside they're differences (if not to be better rulers then at least for their mother.) caracalla tried to kill geta multiple times and when he finally succeeded, it was IN FRONT OF THEIR MOTHER DURING A PEACE MEETING THAT GETA SET UP!

even after geta died, caracalla killed people that spoke out against him and were still loyal to getas name. he also tried to have every image of geta purged from existence (meaning there are almost not surviving pictures or statues of him.)

just maybe something yall can use in your fics (ik I will if I write any) and to keep in mind as more things come out about this movie

[helpwhatsthis]

YES GOD PLS

give me geta that is misunderstood and is trying his hardest to get along with his brother, please his mother. and fix his image after the terrible things his brother has done!!

give me geta fics where he just need someone to be there for him, see him, take care of him as much as he cares for rome!!!

either they're lying to us about his character, or this movie is going to be extremely inaccurate!!!
