Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova in Thunderbolts (2025)

nah since marvel is trending again I’m going to say it again louder for the people in back — canon steve rogers would never have chosen an “idyllic 1950s white pickett fence life” because the only place that man belonged was a picket LINE. the whole point of his character was that his work was never done. there was always going to be another oppressor, another bully, another person who takes advantage of the underprivileged for him to stand up to. from the moment he gained consciousness he, a chronically ill son of a working class mother living below the poverty line, used his voice and his body to protect & fight for what he believed in. I’m not sure there was ever a time pre-super soldier serum where he didn’t have a black eye. he could put the shield down all he wanted but he could never retire from being steve rogers — someone who never once turned a blind eye, who never once wanted a “reward” for his work, who never once abandoned his friends. this isn’t up for debate. this is almost a century of comic book & film/animated precedent. he may have been a man out of time, but in his words “it’s tempting to want to live in the past. it’s familiar, it’s comfortable. but it’s where fossils come from”

BLACK WIDOW — 2021, dir. Cate Shortland

[starrystellars]

today is where your book begins; yelena belova series announcement

After releasing the rest of the Widows from Dreykov’s control, it was time for Yelena to find out what life has in storage for her. Moving back to Ohio, to the place where she had once spent the happiest days of her life, she decided to take back control of her own life and decisions. Fulfilling a long-lived dream of owning a dog and moving in to a block of flats was definitely a good start, but what else does an ex-assassin come up with on her free-time?

This series is about all the things Yelena tries out after settling down into the ‘real world’ and finding a new friend; you. The series will consists of short drabbles and longer one-shots. 

I’m respecting the canon and keeping Yelena’s asexuality, so the series will be free from NSFW-content; but instead, there will be tons of fluff!

I hope you all enjoy!

This is the first piece of clothing I’ve ever bought for myself. It has a lot of pockets. I use them all the time, and I made some of my own modifications.

“Even if I have big accomplishments, they’re very minor to me. It’s just that I have more to do. I guess that’s what makes you not be too full of yourself. So I’m grateful for that quality, but there are also times where it’s important to take in the moment and be like: ‘Wow, I did that! I’m proud of myself for that work.’”
