You know, when WandaVision hit me with the line "what is grief if not love, persevering?" I thought nothing could make me tear up quite like that

And then Agatha dropped "sometimes....boys die" and i guess I don't actually need a heart thanks

[scaarletwiitch]

I'm so sorry, are people now just realizing how sexualized Natasha was in the earlier films??

I keep seeing videos of people saying they're shocked how Yelena has so much more depth than Nat (side note: haven't watched Thunderbolts* yet) even though she's been in the films for longer, but like, are we surprised?

It's not as though Scarlett didn't try to give it her all bc she really, really did. Script said "sexy Russian assassin" she said, "woman who's been through pain time and time again and will do anything to prevent it". Not to mention the hell she went through during those press tours, oh my god

But so many of the Marvel fandom saw promo pics like

And thought she wasn't sexualized? She wanted to be in that tight leather outfit doing nothing for her protection? She wanted to be posed where anything could easily shoot her? She wanted her hair to be in her face the whole time? HUH??

This isn't any sort of contest, but it makes complete sense for Yelena to be more rounded out bc her main objective wasn't to be eye candy. Natasha was only able to be her own person during "Black Widow" and so many fanboys loathed that movie for being "woke" (actually she wasn't sexualized anymore but whatever you say). Yeah, she's only been in two movies and a series, but she's not there to make men go "oohhhhhhhh" she's there to be an actual character

AGATHA ALL ALONG 1.04

[scaarletwiitch]

The Avengers 2012 era was the best time ever in the fandom

Thor loves pop tarts, Clint lived in the vents, Bruce and Tony did science together, Steve was the mom friend of the team and did art in his free time, Natasha was cool aunt of the team, Loki was there too and a bunch of other characters like Peter, Sam, Bucky, Vision and Wanda all lived in the Avengers tower together

It was a much simpler time where everyone in the fandom was chill and having fun together

[scaarletwiitch]

Shipping Yelena with a man is so strange like how are you looking at her and thinking “she likes men” 😭

[scaarletwiitch]

I don't know if anybody has mentioned this before, but

When they're in the second trial (Alice's) and they're trying to figure out what to do, Agatha is asking what Lorna Wu wanted from the road.

"what was her goal?"

And Rio says, so quietly and gently, "to save her daughter."

And now I'm crying because I've seen the entire show and I know the history between them and I feel like that stabbed Agatha through the chest like the three of swords because DAMN

All Agatha wanted was her son. She wanted to protect him, to save him from Death. And she couldn't do that.

I honestly feel like Agatha clocked what Lorna's version was all about from the get-go. No way a Mother Who Lost Her Son (and wrote the original version WITH said son) heard Lorna's Ballad and didn't immediately think of him with lines like "if I can't reach you, let my song teach you, all you need to keep our love alive" and "if I can't hold you, remember what I told you, it's the only way we survive" like??!??

Agatha was in her feels during that song, I just know it.

[scaarletwiitch]

I kinda want to go to the cinema and see thunderbolts alone tonight, but I’m so tired I’m worried I’ll pay for the ticket, only to take a nap in a dark room.

Fight me but the best version of the Ballad of the Witches Road is Agatha Through Time.

Maybe it’s the layered vocals, the exploration of time periods through costumes (a genius with such thoughtfulness that deserves a long post in itself), Kathryn Hahn just HANDING it to the world with her acting like “What??? How could this possibly happen???” In that moment the two felt inseparable, it was so undeniable and palpable that THIS character is her creation, her passion and love, all the while doing it with such ease. Agatha is oozing charisma and power and treachery as we watch her cover and bury her pain of losing Nicky and betrayal by Rio as the centuries fly by.

Compared to the rest of the episode, where saw her at her tenderest, loving, and eagerest, we are physically watching a mask build. The wound doesn’t heal but is hidden as Agatha Harkness hardens into a new persona that disguises the ugly, gaping, scared memory that is her son and ex lover. By the time the song reaches the present, her current coven, it feels that much more fake and egregiously performative than the act itself already is. Or rather, Agatha does.

Musically it feels so charged and layered, voices building out from familiar ones as you realize just how expansive this has become, just how many witches have fallen into Agatha’s scheme. Like every witch who ever participated is being heard. It also has this unexpected playful element, like little bells in the chorus as Agatha (dressed in the iconic 1940’s ensemble) does a little shimmy with the music. A reminder that despite being this large, building, impactful crescendo, to Agatha? This is still all a game. The voices convey a raw wanton desire to run, to seize fistfuls of time and power.

Or maybe…it’s the realization that it HAS been Agatha All Along

We love you, Clint

Request - Avengers finding out about Clintasha relationship

Ok! Thanks for the prompt. For those that requested it, the last fic (the one with Clint finding Natasha in the shower may indeed have a part two). We will see what muses hit me over the head. For now, have some fluff before the dark!fic comes. (WC 915)

1/ Steve

Steve has no concept of modern relationships. He hears of hooking up, of friends with benefits and conceptually knows what they mean; but he misses the courting, the kind words and the old fashion way of doing things.

Natasha makes fun of him of course, when he tells her this. Offers to set him up on yet another date, and laughs when he declines.

He retorts with a smile that maybe he’ll set her up instead.

“I’m not one for dating.” She tells him, and disappears from the room.

Suspicion befalls him more when he sees her and Clint sparring. He’s punching the heavy bag and they’re alone in the other room, he can see them through the glass, which means he doesn’t miss Natasha sweep Clint’s legs and then straddle him. He watches dumbfounded as she kisses his cheek and launches off of him.

He grabs her hand the next day in the hall.

“I saw you.” He accuses.

She cocks her head and looks confused.

“You and Clint in the gym.” He clarifies.

Still she doesn’t say anything.

“I kissed you.” He says, thinking of the escalator kiss. How is he ever going to face Clint now? He kissed his girlfriend.

Natasha laughs.

“When we were on the run?” She laughs again. “He knows. He asked if it was your first kiss since 1948 as well.”

Steve sighs. “It was not my first.. You know what it doesn’t even matter. You guys are together?”

Natasha has somehow broken out of his grasp, waving as she walks away.

“Mind your own business, Rogers.” She says.

Steve takes it as a yes.

2/ Bruce

Clint’s broke his leg. He’s in a full leg cast and residing on the couch moping quietly at the fact he’s benched for the time being.

Bruce has some pity for him, as he hobbles around on crutches.

He notices that Clint has taken to laying on the couch at night, rather than moving to his apartment or even up the elevator to where Tony has fitted them out with their own apartments within the tower.

He’s up late.

It’s around 3.30am when he leaves the lab that Tony’s painstakingly built for him, he heads first the the kitchen for some food and then bypasses the lounge room.

He hears noises coming from there.

He hears Clint laughing, and then Natasha, and as he peeks inside he finds Clint half naked and Natasha in under a blanket, laying on his chest.

Bruce feels his face go red. He’s never sitting on that couch again. At least Clint’s feeling better.

3/ Thor

“I like this elevator.” Thor says to Natasha and Clint as they’re riding up to the penthouse to meet Steve and Tony.

Clint laughs, “what do you mean? This elevator?”

Thor smiles in good humor. “There was another one, on the other side of the building. It broke when I was in it.”

Natasha grins. “How long were you in there for?”

Frowning, Thor looks over to her. “Too long.” He says.

Changing the subject, he looks over to Clint, and then to Natasha. “What do I call you two?”

Natasha cocks her head. “What do you mean?”

“Well. Names have meaning. Tony calls everyone something different. Steve says that I should ask. I watched a great movie, Mr and Mrs Smith. Do I call you Mr and Mrs Barton? Or Mr and Mrs Romanoff?”

Natasha bites on the side of her mouth to stop herself from laughing.

Clint fields the question, grinning at Thor.

“What makes you think we are together like Mr and Mrs Smith?” He asks.

Thor looks abashed as he tells them he’d watched it with Tony and Tony had kept drawing parallels between the movie and his two favourite assassins. Logically, Thor had also agreed, the evidence compelling.

“Have you not tried to kill each other and failed? He asked, like it was the definitive proof he needed.

Natasha nods. “Look. Just call us by our names. It you’re referring to us together you can call us Clint and Natasha. Not The Wonder Twins, or Mr and Mrs Smith, if Tony encourages it, don’t do it.”

Thor nods. “Ok.” He says, contemplatively.

“What do I call Bruce?”

4/ Tony

“I knew it!!” Tony yells triumphantly. “I knew it!”

Smugness written all over his face. “You can dress it up in fancy languages, be secretive on the couch, tell Steve to mind his own business, but you can’t hide the truth from me!”

Natasha looks dangerous.

Clint crosses his arms over his chest.

Tony takes a step back, finally tuned into the fact he may have crossed a line.

“And now that you allegedly know something,” Natasha says, taking a step forward and picking up a knife that’s left over from lunch, “what are you going to do with the information?”

Tony holds his hands up in surrender. “Nothing?” He phrases as a question.

Clint steps forward.

“If what you think you know, what you know, you better forget it, you see?” He says taking the knife off Natasha, and throwing it directly into the knife rack, where it lands directly in the hole.

Tony stares at his extremely deadly friends.

“Jarvis, erase the last hour of kitchen footage.” He asks.

“Good boy.” Natasha says, sarcastically, walking past him, patting his cheeks.

“Nobody’s gonna know,” Tony says to their retreating backs, “but everyone knows already.” He says more to himself in a whisper.

My favourite kind of fics to read and to write

[scaarletwiitch]

Every time I think of how Joss Whedon ruined it for the romanogers shippers in AoU, I remember he did far worse to the clintasha fandom
