[introspectral] 🌑

Send 🌑 to watch the solar eclipse with my muse.

@introspectral

There were benefits to living out so far from the town, like the fact that the two of them would get to watch the eclipse without anyone around to bother them. Wanda had already made her trip into town that morning to pick up any items they were lacking and had found two pairs of glasses that would help them watch the eclipse. While she wasn't sure if Vision would actually need them, she grabbed them just in case, not wanting for him to miss out on the sight. "Vis," she called out from the porch, "it's almost time."

"I'm sure that it will be. We have each other and so, we'll make it better than the last," Wanda replied, giving him a gentle smile in return. While things had been tough in the beginning, she had found that the two of them had grown closer. Sure, their relationship wasn't the same as it had been before Vision had been killed and remade, but they were closer than they had been when he had first came back into her life in Westview. "My hope is that we can have a somewhat normal life this year. No SWORD, no aliens, no monsters. Just us," she mused, "what about you?"

"Happy New Year Vis!"

"I hope that it will be, Wanda. For both of us," Vision said, a soft smile on his lips. They had both been through so much and now were trying their best to start over. It would take time, healing, and trust, but they were well on their way to building something together again. Perhaps this new year would mark the start of the happiness to which they were both entitled, after suffering so much. "What is your greatest hope for this year?" he asked her, going to her and reaching for one of her hands, gently holding it in his own.

hello! i was wondering if you/your followers could help me with something; i've been looking for hd versions of francis xie's logurt fancomics from a few years ago and haven't had much luck. his tumblr account has been deleted, but the posts might be accessible through other people's reblogs/direct twitter links? thank you for your time, in any case!

Hi! Some reblogs I’ve found so far are: https://imperiuswrecked.tumblr.com/tagged/logurt, https://introspectres-reblog.tumblr.com/post/751299501084573697, https://sirketztumblr.wordpress.com/tag/xmen/page/2/, https://oblivionscribe.tumblr.com/post/178901149982/francisxie-hey-look-its-logurts-wedding-and-me, https://blueberrybamf.tumblr.com/post/775603313828888576

“I don’t think that’s true.” Wanda commented when Vision explained that his naivety had led to him being betrayed with a shake of her head, dislodging some more tears from her eyes as she did so. “After all, I’m a cynical, jaded person who never trusted anyone who I hadn’t shared a womb with until I became an Avenger and they betrayed me too the moment it became convenient. The outcome is the same, but I would have rather been able to trust person for all those years than stew in imagined bad intentions.” She told him. Wanda was arguably a person who had lost her innocence too young and she wouldn’t have heralded it’s loss for anyone else.

She watched him as he recounted what Ultron said to him. She’d heard the story before. “And he was a monster who knew nothing about the soul.” She reminded him firmly. It wasn’t natural for her to argue the optimistic perspective but she didn’t want to lose Vision to bitterness. “I wouldn’t have fallen in love with you if you hadn’t been that way. If you hadn’t had such a unique way of looking at the world. Don’t let me or them take it from you.” She told him.

Wanda smiled when he assured her that he only needed her and kissed the centre of his forehead gently. “Whatever you want, build a lab in that grotty old basement for all I care.” She joked, referencing the tiny basement of their cabin. “I want you to do what makes you happy, whatever that is.”

“If it runs in families, perhaps.” She agreed although Sokovia had a tumultuous relationship with maintaining written records of its populace. Most of their shared history had been told from family to family, mother to daughter, father to son. Finally proof of witchcraft in whispers was going to be a challenge. “It’s a good thing I stole a bunch of Agatha’s books or I’d have nothing to go on.” She muttered.

@introspectral continued from here

“Perhaps, but sometimes the traditional methods are the best. Classics for a reason.” She told him with a smile, looking at the flowers that she’d given him. “You used to say that when you did something old fashioned and a little cheesy, properly courting me. You’d smile and say something like ‘Old fashioned or timeless?’.” She smiled at the memory. 

 Wanda gave him a few moments to retrieve the memory and parse it, putting her hands on her knees as she did so. “I looked like a drowned rat.” She corrected him. She looked to the sky and the horizon and realised that she felt no desire to learn what was going on beyond it. “I could never feel lonely with you.” She assured him, taking his hand and squeezing it. 

“I’m not sure I ever want to leave here.” She admitted.

I've been ruminating a lot on my conflicting desires to keep this blog solely a space for my art (heaven knows I don't draw fast enough to keep pace with the amount of content I reblog) vs wanting to interact and share work I admire more.

The solution I've arrived at? ✨ @introspectres-reblog ✨

A new blog where I can reblog gorgeous art and ramble in the tags about it. Come look at beautiful things with me!

[introspectral] 'shivers'

@introspectral

Wanda shuddered slightly at the coolness of Vision's touch. She hadn't heard the other come into the living room, hadn't heard him coming and sitting next to her. She had been deep in thought, though his touch had seemed to pull her out and bring her back into the present. "Sorry, I didn't mean to ignore you," she whispered, leaning back against him and resting her hand against his leg. "Is everything alright with you? Did you need me for something?"

[illbringthechaosmagic]

"Of course I do."

Wanda hated arguments, especially between her and Vision. While there had been a few of them before he had been taken from her, it had always crushed her to feel as though she had made him angry at her. They always made up of course, with Wanda curling up beside him and asking him to reassure her that he wasn't upset with her.

Since Vision had come back into her life, there hadn't been any such arguments. There had been minor tiffs, though they were usually over something so tiny and were ended quickly. This however, Vision's plan to take down SWORD rather than just living their lives had been something that had snowballed into a pretty big argument before Wanda could even realise it. She hadn't wanted him to go, hadn't wanted for him to take action on them because she was terrified that they might hurt him, or try and take control of him once more. He had been pretty adamant about doing so, which had caused the argument to become heated. At least, that was until she yelled out that she loved him.

"Vision I have always loved you," she replied, tears forming as she tried to calm herself. She could feel herself shaking, a result of the anger and fear and sadness building inside of her. "I just don't want to risk losing you again," she whispered, rubbing at her eyes before sniffing. "Maybe just... don't go alone."

"Because I love you!"

"You do?" Vision asked, the argument now completely derailed in light of what Wanda just blurted out. They had begun to mend their relationship, to rebuild it, to let it grow into what it would be now. It would never be the way it was, but it did not have to be lost. However, they had fallen short of saying those three little words to each other, perhaps out of fear of forcing them or saying them too soon. But now...

Vision had been plotting to bring his revenge to SWORD rather than wait for them to find him and Wanda. He knew they could never rest ad would never be free until SWORD was abolished... and there was only one way to do that. Specifically he wanted Hayward. He had been the one pulling the strings that had so made Vision feel like a puppet. Like a thing. No more, he'd told Wanda. He was going to take action. But she had been afraid for him, asking him to abandon the plan. He'd held fast, asking her why he should not hunt every last one of them down... until she'd blurted out that she loved him.

"I..." Vision said, his glowing blue eyes lingering unblinkingly on hers. "I love you too, Wanda." He felt his internal systems ramp up the moment he'd said it. A stress response. But saying the words had not been a bad thing. It was only that he was nervous to be taking this next big step. And if he truly loved her, then... "I will not go, if you do not wish me to."

@introspectral​ - continued from here

Carter said nothing as she stood still - her arms crossed over her chest as she studied Vision. Or... at least, someone who claimed to be Vision. She just... couldn’t wrap her head around how he was back after so many years - couldn’t understand why he looked so different. She had heard whispers of WestView, but... had never gotten any solid answers. Not from SWORD, and she had no idea where Wanda had gone--

She inhaled slowly, feeling almost guilty for telling him she didn’t trust him, but didn’t waver. “You- you can stay for now,” she said slowly - almost hesitant. “But I need you- you to understand I can’t trust you right- right now. Not when I- I don’t know what’s going on with- with you or anything else. If- if you want me to trust you, then I ask that you just be- be honest with me.” A heavy sigh fell from her lips, and Carter closed her eyes briefly before she opened them - focusing her attention once more onto Vision. She knew she had no way or knowing if anything he were to tell her was the truth or not, but... she needed to start somewhere.

“What- what brings you here?”

snippet

The first week was a blur of fruit and roast veg, oat milk and jigsaws, ten-year-old reruns of half-forgotten shows and unforgettable faces outside legal lines. It was a lazy boredom that forbade productivity or activity, leaving only the distant need to ‘do’ when everything felt thoroughly undoable.

The second week dawned with the strange realisation that confinement could only last so long and that ‘long’ would only get shorter and shorter as time went on. As seconds ticked by. Minutes. Hours.

Freedom climaxed in comfortable normality. Lines were crossed and hugs were had and then-

The want rhythms of life lull, like the sun-warmed sea, the worries from a weary shoulder.

I did @introspectres little c3 guessing game! I’ve had the first guesses for everyone since the end of campaign two but this was a lot of fun! (Can you tell I’m confident Sam will be a wizard?)
