Finally found out what was weird about the Shang-chi trailer! The only live action kung fu movies I’ve seen before were super low budget or are older so they didn’t have too great of special effects. So I thought it was weird when I saw Simu Liu do all of that, when really Marvel just has the money to make this not look like trash. It just took me a few hours to realize it.

❈ muffin man ❈
pairing: Shang-Chi x Reader
summary: Shang-Chi tries to help you bake, but is reminded why it might not be a good idea.
a/n: It's night 1 of my Tricks & Treats! I'm sorry for all the corny jokes in this, I couldn't help it. Hope you enjoy reading this. Happy October!
Psst! Here’s a somewhat prequel to this: toaster incident
all errors and mistake are mine
reblog/like/feedback are greatly appreciated! 🎃
word count: 505
Tumblr media
“I can’t even leave you alone for five seconds without you getting into trouble.”
You only turned away to grab the muffin liners when you found Shang-Chi dipping his fingers into the raw batter for a taste. Your handsome boyfriend puts both hands up, surrendering.
“Shang-Chi there’s raw egg in that batter. You’re going to get sick!” You continue mixing the batter, adding the pumpkin puree into the large mixing bowl. Shang-Chi chuckles at your scrunched expression and kisses your cheek.
“I don’t want to die...I’ll miss you too much.” Shang-Chi wraps his arms around your waist and presses his cheek to yours. “And I can’t cuddle you if I die.”
“You’re not dying. I said you’re going to get sick.”
“Well if you get me killed, I promise I will haunt your ass.”
“And what a sweet ass you’ll be haunting.” You squeal when Shang-Chi smacks your butt. “Okay enough messing around and line the muffin tins for me.”
“Why do I only get the boring tasks? You get all the pouring and mixing...what about me?”
You look over at Shang-Chi and raise an eyebrow, “Do I need to remind you of the toaster incident?”
“Jeez, you set one toaster on fire and suddenly you ‘can’t be trusted in the kitchen’!”
You chuckle and finish off spooning the pumpkin mixture into the muffin tins as Shang-Chi continues his rant. The toaster incident wasn’t too bad, but enough for you to not let him be alone in the kitchen. Till this day you couldn’t wrap your head around how Shang-Chi managed to set slices of bread and the toaster on fire.
“I mean aside from the fire it wasn’t that bad! Look, look!” Shang-Chi pulls out the trash can and points to an empty ramen packet, “I made instant ramen this morning. I’m fine in the kitchen”
“You burned your hand from the kettle, ran into our room, and asked me to kiss it better.” You place the muffin tins into the preheated oven and set a timer. “Oh baby, c’mere.” You open your arms towards a moping Shang-Chi.
“Fine, maybe I’m not that great of a chef.” Shang-Chi wraps his arms around your waist, mumbling “But I’m a good sous chef right?”
“Yes,” you press a loving kiss on his soft lips, “We’re a batch made in heaven”
Shang-Chi groans and slowly unravels himself from your hold, “Oh gosh, not the baking jokes!”
“What? Don’t you want my help? I can teach you some tricks! It would be a pie-opening experience!” You’re bent over, cackling at your own jokes.
“I love you, but please stop!”
You wipe the tears from eyes, arms looping around Shang-Chi’s neck again. “You’re no fun. All things must crumb to an end, huh? I-”
Shang-Chi attacks your face with kisses, stopping you from your next corny joke. He places a final kiss on your forehead and presses his forehead on yours.
“Shang-Chi? Want to dough a secret?”
“Hmm?”
“I love you, muffin man. Muffin compares to you!”

First of all finally codependent! Second- loving in New York wade POV. I love your fantasy worlds but I AM a sucker for in suit in New York stories
I'm totally on a musical kick and guess I'm adding rewatching Annie to it!
Oh ya wade I'm sure you're soooooo upset you have to interfere with Peter on the subway. How TRAGICCCCC
Honestly I just pictured the Shang Chi bus scene for this subway scene
With less intentional beat downs
Oh mannnnn Peter crowding into wades space and looking up at him KILL ME
Peter being beyond scared of himself and wade already being his rock is making me so emotional
The fact Peter has no idea how much wade also is happy to cuddle with Peter breaks my heart
I'm in LOVE with Peter slowly figuring himself out on wades couch. All the break downs of the senses is a fantastic story plot that's never utilised enough
Gotta love peter always simping for wades size
Wade afraid of being alone again I 😭
Poor Peter thinking the outside would be better for his senses 💀 the fact wade was IMMEDIATE to his side GOSH
Mannn wade really is perfect for peter with him figuring out his sense and strength
FANGS FANGS FANGS FANGS 🔥
Peter breaking down in the tub BABYYYYY
The bath cuddle I think is my new favourite. I mean yes one existed in MTW but THIS
Poor May that phone call must've traumatised her she ain't sleeping that's for sure!
Ok ok wade got me laughing with that 'of your life so far' line
OK NO THIS LINE 'It was definitely not some wide eyed, fluffy haired, fangy teethed great ass-ed punk kid’s business...'
Ah the flying peter hug a fave
Ahhh brat! AHHH
The slow breakdown of peter in his apartment is BEAUTIFUL. Man the fact you've never delved into the start of the spider bite amazes me cause DAMN
WOW k uncle ben is still kicking huh?
Ok yep yep I am hooked on this whole story GOSHHHHHH
There is something just *chefs kiss* about canon era Spideypool. My AU's get so intense and long and over the top and that's always fun but canon era Spideypool is a special sort of AMAZING and I'm super excited to get back into it.
PETER putting his hands on Wade's chest and just peeking up at him "am I safe with you?" I could physically SEE that scene in my head as I wrote it and I loved it.
And its been an interesting exercise for my writing to really dive into all that sensory overload for Peter. Me and Alyssa @xkissmeimirishx were complaining about how in pretty much all super hero movies, its like "gets the powers, mild adjustment montage, saves the world". And obviously movies don't want to spend HOURS on the adjustment period for superheros but they are dead wrong if they think I wouldn't watch actual hours of like... Steve learning to use the shield and hitting himself in the face when it ricochets back. Peter Parker accidentally sticking to everything constantly or getting startled and webbing out. Extremis!Pepper getting upset and burning her hands right through her favorite coffee table.
Those are the things that make the heroes HUMAN (like Tony yeeting himself into the wall the first time he tried out his repulsors, I ugly laugh every time I see that shit) but especially with a teenage-to college age boy who just got literally buggy powers and now has to balance that with all the bullshit of hormones and school and all the regular canon stress that is just Peter Parker... you're telling me it wouldn't take him WEEKS to adjust? Maybe even months? When my work schedule changes unexpectedly I need a solid hour to readjust my entire mindset and day but Peter figured out he has webs and immediately starts slinging from buildings?
Anyway, especially in this AU where the dynamics are going to skew *unhealthy* we really wanted to lean into just how overwhelming absolutely every second of Peter's life is right now, cos that will really drive through that Trauma Imprinting that he'll do on Wade. I'm not saying it's healthy but I AM saying it's fun to write and will lead to some super intense moments later.
And yes, Ben is here. He was around at the beginning of the Spiderman movies... right?
OH! Yes! The flying Peter hug! It's one of my favorites! I have always imagined Peter just launching himself at Wade constantly because you know, size difference, but also I just think it's cute?? Cos Wade would always catch him even if he got flattened in the process and Peter would feel so safe being caught for once when he's usually the one catching people mid air (or not. gwen. ba dum tss.) (too soon?) so it would feel like being rescued and we all know how much I love the trope of 'rescuer getting rescued'

Welcome to the 2021 Sbvevnies, where we honor the best in film!
The nominees for artistic horniness are:
Titane: for the scene involving a lonely woman and a car.
The Power of the Dog: the scene with Benedict Cumberbatch and the hankerchief
Red Rocket: the entire gosh darn movie.
And the award goes to:
Titane! Because like, what the hell man.
The nominees for a complete lack of subtlety are:
Suicide Squad: The bird motiff
Raya and the Last Dragon: Every time they talk about “people trusting each other”
Don’t Look Up: The entire movie
Matrix 4: The constant mentions of how sequels destroy media. 
King Richard: Most of the movie.
The Snyder Cut: Just by virtue of being a Snyder film.
And the award goes to:
Don’t Look Up! Because every review for that movie seemed to have the word “subtlety” and “lack” and “of” in it.
And now, for the opposite award. The nominees for I don’t Know What The Hell is Going On goes to:
The Power of the Dog: The entire movie, but especially the ending. 
Spencer: The scene near the end. You know what I’m talking about, right?
The Green Knight: So much. So much. 
Dune: the scene with the spider with the human hands.
Evangelion 3.0+1.0: It’s an evangelion movie. My hands are tied.
And the award goes to:
The Green Knight! It was really hard to decide because there were so many movies where I didn’t understand what was going on. But, the Green Knight
The nominees for Daddy Issues in a Feature Film are:
Belfast
Luca
Nobody
Ghostbusters
House of Gucci: I actually haven’t seen it, but I’m just assuming
Dune

The Tender Bar
Old
King Richard
Raya and the Last Dragon
And the award goes to:
Space Jam 2! It wasn’t even nominated. What the hell.
The nominees for Most Dysfunctional Family Unit are:
Encanto: This isn’t me making fun of the movie or anything I loved Encanto. who didn’t love encanto? Please don’t hate me guys. This list is just silly and stuff. Most of the movies I actually really liked like the power of the dog that was pretty great and also Encanto and a lot of them I hated and most of them I actually haven’t seen.
House of Gucci: Once again, just assuming
Shang Chi
Black Widow:
The Tragedy of Macbeth
And the award goes to:
The Tragedy of Macbeth! Because it’s Macbeth. I actually haven’t seen this either. I actually have only seen like, half of the movies on here
The nominees for Ah, I Like This Movie Why Is No One Talking About It are:
The Tender Bar
A Map of Tiny Perfect Things
Summer of Soul: This movie rocks. And I don’t usually like documentaries.
The French Dispact: Okay, a lot of people are talking about the french dispatch, but who cares? It deserves to be talked about more.
And the award goes to: A Map of Tiny Perfect Things! Remember Palm Springs? It’s that again, but they’re teenagers. And yes, I know that Palm Springs is just Groundhog day but with two of them.
The nominees for Movies I Haven’t Seen But Already I Have Strong Feelings About are:
Belle: It looks cool
Sing 2: I just dislike movies on account of being made by Illumination.
The Snyder Cut: Everything that a whole bunch of incels likes is probably awful.
Boss Baby Back in Business: Hate. Hate. Hate. Haven’t seen. Still hate.
The French Dispatch: Look, I haven’t gotten around to seeing it yet, okay? I’m going to. But it looks really awesome!
Old: Old.
Titane: Seems a bit to horny.
The Green Knight: I just haven’t found the time man. It seems really awesome though!
And the award goes to:
Boss Baby Back in Business! I hate both of those movies. I haven’t seen either.
And the nominees for Best Animal are:
The Power of the Dog: The bnuny! And also all the horses. There aren’t many dogs in the power of the dog, but they’re neat.
Luca: The cat. He was funny.
The Mitchells Versus the Machines: The pug. He was funny.
Antlers: I don’t know what this movie is about but I’m going to assume there’s some deer in it. Why not. I just saw it on a page of movies that came out in 2021.
The Suicide Squad: The little rat.
Godzilla versus King Kong: Monke.
Pig: I’m going to assume their is a pig in this one.
And the award goes to: All of them! Except Antlers, I didn’t know why I put that on there. 
And now... some awards with no nominees because I’m tired.
And the Award for Best Title to Say While Indulging in Some “Artistic Hornyness” goes to:
Tick, Tick... Boom!!
And the Award for Most Memeable Poster Goes To:
Free Guy!
And the Award for People Standing Around Goes To:
Eternals! I haven’t seen that movie either, but I’ve seen the trailers.
And the Award for Lots and Lots of Neon goes to:
Last Night in Soho!
And the award for You Know It’s a Smart Movie Because It’s in Black and White goes to:
Come on, Come on! I could have given it to Belfast or The Tragedy of Macbeth, but I already mentioned them. I’m actually just trying to mention movies I haven’t mentioned yet.
And the Award for Guillermo Del Toro Movie goes to:
Pans Labryinth! That came out this year, trust me on this one.
And the Award for Most Gay Subtext goes to:
Venom: Let There Be Carnage! I could have given it to the Power of the Dog or Luca, but there were so many tumblr posts about Venmon: Let There Be Carnage.
And the Award for I Forgot the Name but Now I Remember goes to:
In the Heights!
And the Award for That Didn’t Come out in 2021 What Are you Talking About? Goes to:
Shiva Baby and Judas and the Black Messiah! Both of them! They’re both great movies that you should totally check out but neither of them came out in 2021. I have decided that.
And finally, the one you’ve all been waiting for... Smelliest Movie!
And the nominees are:
The Power of the Dog: There’s a lot of mentions of smell.
Pig: We all know Nicholas Cage never bathes because he’s afraid of water.
A Quiet Place Part 2: The thing that no one ever talks about when it comes to apocalypses is how awful everything is going to smell.
The Suicide Squad: Because of the rats, I guess.
In the Heights: Heat waves? No air conditioning? Everyone in this film is sweating buckets. They sing a whole song about how hot they are at one point.
The Last Duel: Medieval times smelled like, really, really bad. I’m not putting the Green Knight because of all the mist and stuff.
Dune: The Harknonen mud stuff, the desert, the worms. This film probably smells like a thousand different things and only a quarter of them are pleasant.
Resident Evil Welcome to Raccoon City: I’m going to assume there are zombies in this movie. Well, zombies don’t smell well. I mean, they don’t smell good. They also don’t smell well either.
Godzilla versus King Kong: Godzilla probably smells okay, but King Kong? Nope.
Coda: This movie is about fishers, and fish smell disgusting. I’m doing this one over Luca because Luca also features a lot of pasta. 
And the award goes to...
The Power of the Dog! This movie probably smells absolutely putrid. First, we got Benedick Cumberass. This dude goes on a whole schpeel about how he doesn’t ever wash. Then their are the horses, the cows, and all the stuff they excrete. Then theirs the anthrax, which probably smells disgusting, and the animal autopsies, and just the fact that movie takes place in 1925, when air conditioning was in it’s infancy. This movie is not only the smelliest movie of the year, but it’s also probably the sweatiest. And I think that says a lot about something.

Comics this week (1/27/2021)?
X-Men #17: I guess Hickman told his editors “yeah this issue’s relatively filler and is pretty much here to set up a single straightforward Checkov’s Gun for later, so I guess you can put whoever needs to work on it” so that’s how that happened.
Shang-Chi #5: A nice little mini, but I’m happy Yang’s moving on to my boys.
Avengers #41 (got this late from last week): That patented Aaron-brand Avengers nonsense I love, how I missed you.
Daredevil #26: ...huh. Don’t take that as a condemnation on my part, that’s simply my plain reaction to the developments of an issue of comics I enjoyed. Huh.
Stillwater #5 (ditto): SO THERE’S SOME REAL SHIT FOR OUR TIMES
The Department of Truth #5: Love me that looooore, baybeeeee
We Only Find Them When They’re Dead #5: I did have to stop a few pages in to refresh myself on a few names, but gosh can I not wait for acts two and three.
Future State: Aquaman #1: I figured this one could go either way since I’ve read some work by Brandon Thomas I vibed with and one or two that baffled me, so happy to say this one worked out really well. And very happy to be getting Sampere on Action soon.
Future State: Batman/Superman #1: I’ve seen folks unsurprisingly let down by this as a pretty straightforward World’s Finest teamup for Yang’s debut that for the most part could have just as easily taken place now, but the more I sit on this one the more it grows on me. There’s a sense of melancholy knowing this is probably Clark and Bruce’s last adventure together like this before what’s about to happen to each of them in this timeline, a tension they don’t know exists even as we can see their friendship start to fray that crucial bit - not because they’re at moral loggerheads, but because the changes in their lives are driving them in such different directions. I like the idea of a little slice of a ‘future’ event like this having a chapter set just long enough from now that the changes in motion are irreversible, but not far enough out yet to have visibly shaken things up permanently, and how that changes the tone of the characters’ adventures at the unknowing last point where they’re still recognizable. Anyway, high-falutin’ aside, it’s Yang and Oliver, of course it’s a very readable superhero comic even sans context.
Future State: Dark Detective #2: Very much enjoyed the fleshing-out here of Bruce’s new means and methods of operation, and the Red Hood backup works surprisingly well too (between this and DCeased, is DC making Jason Todd and Rose Wilson a thing?). My confidence in the upcoming Tamaki Detective increases accordingly.
Future State: Superman vs. Imperious Lex #1: This is gonna disappoint a lot of folks, not because it’s anything less than really good, but because it’s ‘merely’ really good when it’s the Flintstones team reuniting for their big, basically continuity-free crack at Superman. Probably that’s in no small part because it feels like Russell modulating his voice a bit to prove he can play nice with the other books in the same way as his Sinestro one-shot awhile back. Still fine with me and still one of Future State’s better offerings, but not the clear home run it seemed at announcement.
Future State: Legion of Superheroes #1: Well THAT’S not who I was expecting the much-advertised traitor to be. Lots of cool details here I’m looking forward to seeing play out when the book proper returns.
Strange Adventures #8: I want Gerads on a Flash book and Shaner drawing as many forest landscapes as possible going forward.
Batman: The Adventures Continue #8: Pretty standalone after how #1-7 formed a loose arc, but this taps the best of BTAS’s treatment of its villains and is a nice little epilogue.
Batman: Black and White #2: 
* The King/Gerads Batman story is an extremely King/Gerads Batman story, in the best way.
* The Campbell Batman and Catwoman story plays with the format, such as it is, in the most amusing way of this mini so far or any of the preceding Batman: Black and White books I recall.
* The Hardman/Bechko joint is pretty and perfectly serviceable.
* The Weaver story I don’t even kind of get but it sure is lovely.
* The Aja story doesn’t live up to its art or its unique format, but it’s still David Aja drawing Batman so it’s fine.
* Love the Villalobos pinup, glad he’s still got the occasional DC gig even if he’s making his main comics home elsewhere these days.
The Other History of the DC Universe #2: It doesn’t blow the doors down in the same way as #1, but I don’t know that it could - it isn’t introducing the concept, and it’s juggling two characters with I believe much less defining history than the singular lead of the debut. Still a great comic, and it’s with this issue it hits me that in following B- and C-list characters specifically rather than your Green Lanterns or Cyborgs, the book gets to have its cake and eat it too by conveying a superheroic POV while still making them spectators to the biggest developments both world-shaking and culturally significant. And yes, very much looking forward to what Ridley will do with Superman in Red and Blue after the balancing act he continues to strike here, I feel like he could be to All-Star Superman what Snyder was to Morrison’s Batman in presenting what those books were getting at in a way the general audience can latch onto this time (though in this case probably with something a little more on the prestige side rather than a summer crossover).

thoughts on shang-chi and the legend of the ten rings (spoilers)
not as in depth as the loki stuff just general thoughts.
also i know nothing about chinese culture or anything so i don't really go into that
okay, i know i said i wouldnt talk about chinese culture, but this movie did feel chinese, at least to my understanding of the culture? if that makes any sense? it didnt feel like a cheap american knock off.
i loved shang-chi. he was so funny. & the trailers kind of made him out to be all serious or whatever, which i wasnt looking forward to. but he felt human and i could relate to him a lot. i loved seeing him struggle with his identity. i wanted to hug him through most the movie. simu liu was FANTASTIC. very funny, good action scenes (shout out to simu liu & the stunt double(s), since i'm sure it was a combination of them all).
katy was great. wasn't sure if i'd like her when i saw the trailers, but i loved her. she was also super relatable. i love her. she is amazing. i love how she was funny & how she was kind & actually pretty chill about everything, considering it all. & i loved how she just wanted to help shang-chi, to help the village, to help everyone.
we didn't get much of xialing, but i loved what we got. i love how she trained herself and how she was bitter towards shang-chi at first, but over time they grew together in order to save the universe. also cool fights with the knife-rope-thing (i have no idea what thats called)
wenwu is one of the best villains. he was bad in the past, put it all away to be a father, came back to it as a coping mechanism for ying li's death, and then was just trying to get his wife back because the soul eaters were tricking him. he does care about ying li, shang-chi, and xialing, although in a twisted way. & when he gave shang-chi the rings at the end. gosh. good performance. i loved him.
we didnt get much ying li, so i dont have much to say, but i quite liked her.
i also liked nan and lots of the side ta lo villagers.
wong! in the fight! teaching abomination how to fight better! i love him! also, we all keep saying he's the responsible magic user. well, i still stand by that. wanda broke reality, sylvie broke the universe, stephen is going to do something with the multiverse. fighting and doing karaoke are different
trevor! he was the person i never expected to see in this movie, but i loved seeing him. the thing about planet of the apes was hilarious, him not being dead & only performing was hilarious, the whole thing was great.
this is a good movie if you like hotel california.
the ten rings affects were so good. same with the great protector's & the sole eaters. and the ta lo martial arts affects
i loved how each character had something important to do at the climax.
lots of good callbacks. talking to the lawyer friend again, going to karaoke again. i loved it.
also i want to know what is up with that beacon in the rings!
thank heavens we dont have professor hulk. also really small but oh my gosh do i think carol looks better with long hair.
soundtrack was also really good
