MCU give Bucky his cat rn you COWARDS

Consider the following:

Buckynat officially back together in comics since Thunderbolts 2023

Buckynat openly showing affection and professing their love for each other in a limited Thunderbolts series featuring Doctor Doom that overlapped with the MCU Thunderbolts release

Buckynat leading the New Avengers in the upcoming comic run

MCU synergy increasing across Marvel media, including Marvel Rivals

There are currently only 3 heroes in Marvel Rivals (as far as I can tell) that have skins related to Secret Wars: Iron Man, Black Widow, and Captain America

Nat's Secret Wars related skin is named Mrs. Barnes (as we all know) and was available as a 100% free skin

Our strongest solider Sebastian Stan campaigning for buckynat in late 2024

Conclusion: Natasha will come back (as a variant at the very least) and Marvel is "soft launching" buckynat for the MCU

As a Dane owner, it makes me SO happy that it’s just commonly accepted that Tairn as a dog would be a Great Dane in modern AU Fourth Wing fanfics. They are the best but I haven’t seen one fic address the Great Dane Lean™️ and I’m just unreasonably sad about it (this is a joke, I love you fic writers plz continue forever ❤️)

[lootkey]

Xaden Riorson’s actions in Fourth Wing and Iron Flame both make more sense and become infinitely funnier when you remember that the man is 22-23 years old.

This man is AT BEST a first year grad student trying to finish compulsory military service in an active war zone while running the family business (ruling a legit kingdom) and taking on extracurriculars (leading a rebellion) as side hustles. On top of that there’s a literal plague of evil descending, institutional racism is against him, and his Situationship (calling Violet that cuz a lot happens there over two books and I’m trying to cover all the relationship levels) never seems to settle out for more than a month at a time.

Like, of course the decision making is not always on point. The man doesn’t even have a fully developed pre-frontal cortex yet and he hasn’t slept the recommended amount in 6 years.

“She’s always been a good rider” where was that energy a couple books ago Dain?!?

This side of Xaden is unsettling

Confession but cat is becoming one of my faves

Mira sending the two of them rightfully to horny jail
