melody,infatuation,fleece n 1975!!

warning for my arachnophobes, i have a picture of my lil tarantula in this post!

melody - favorite artist?

gorillaz, the shacks, miss lana, the doors, melanie martinez, the velvet underground/lou reed, dead man’s bones, queen, melanie (the folk singer from the 60’s) grimes, elita, angelic milk, arctic monkeys, johnny cash, elvis, mars argo, marilyn monroe, jack stauber, princess chelsea, julie london, the beach boys, miss world, the kinks... could probably name many more but i’m in love with all of these bands/artists and could not recommend them more!!

infatuation - first crush

omg. it was in second grade, there was this little boy named devon and he had thick brown curly fluffy hair and he was super pale and had vampire teeth, like real long and sharp canines and i was so jealous cuz i loved to bite the other kids and that totally would’ve upped my game. he was shy but really good at soccer and i always wanted to play with him at recess and pe but i was even more shy than him but he was precious and he should’ve been my boyfriend 😤

fleece - have any pets?

thank u for asking this, i love talking about my fluffies! if u follow my ig you’re probably sick of me posting about my daughters all the time but they are my world.

first we have my doggie, trixie. her favorite song is man research by gorillaz. i’ve had her since i was 8 and she’s my best pal. she looks like a puppy but they’ll be 10 this march! next we have thelma my spider. her fav songs are drop dead legs by van halen and spiderhead by cage the elephant. she’s a grammostola pulchra, otherwise known as the brazilian black - the biggest domestic tarantulas! they grow extremely slowly and she’s still a baby, she used to be the size of my finger tip but she’ll hopefully grow to be bigger than my hand! she’s super sweet and docile. and there’s my bunny, lola / lo. her favorite song is lola coca cola by the kinks. she is the definition of sassy and she loves cuddles and wearing hats. she’s the first bun i’ve ever had and lemme tell you, bunnies are the best pets and if you’re thinking of getting one, do it! as long as you’re able to let your bun free range at least 4 hours a day/if you have a big pen :3 lastly are my kitties, luna and prim rose. luna is the sheriff of this here house. both of them just love animal crossing music as well as the harp. luna is a chub and her cuddles are the sweetest. prim hates every animal besides herself but she loves people. she was a stray that we found in california at my grandparent’s house like 8 years ago and we drove her all the way back to utah and now she’s my baby forever. if u don’t already think i’m a crazy mom, let it be known that i have playlists for all of my children, and i’m planning tattoos of them and i talk to them about deeper stuff than i would with my therapist.

1975 - if you could travel to any time period, what would it be and why?

i think i’d go like 30 years into the future to see if everything’s gone to shit, but i mainly want to go to the future just to see how much video games have progressed. or i’d be a man in the 60’s. or in the 20’s. or a teenage girl in the 80’s. or a groupie in the 70’s... y’know, so i can finally understand the freedom land of the 70’s.

#thank u for the ask sweet bambi!#♡

6 times Steve Rogers met the Avengers [1/7]

and the one time Bucky introduced them.

aka The Avengers finally meet Bucky's roommate.

(shrinkyclinks ~roommate~ au)

read on ao3

masterpost

shrinkyclinks roommate au

“You, are you ‘Nomad’?” someone asked Steve, male, vaguely angry, voice cutting through his music. He tugged out one of his earphones, his Ma didn’t raise an asshole, and looked up at - oh shit, that’s Tony Stark.

Steve did a quick double check of everything around and behind his table, and got up, moving in front of the table.

He would be intimidated by Tony Stark, the man was a superhero, a genius and a billionaire, but based on what Bucky had told him, Tony Stark seemed like the adult, father version of Peter Parker with a little bit of John Mulaney sprinkled in and Steve highly doubted that he would ever be able to take Peter seriously. Even if his brogues probably cost more than his rent.

“Can I help you?” He asked, more than a little confused, because, firstly, his Ma definitely didn’t raise an asshole and secondly, it was 8 am in the San Diego convention center, an hour before SDCC opened for the public, so what the literal fuck was a billionaire doing here? Unless the weed from last night was still in effect? Probably not.

“You’re an asshole.” Tony Stark replied, primly, crossing his arms and peering down at him over his sunglasses. Steve glared up at him, “What’d I ever do to you?” He mentally ran through everyone he may or may not have pissed off in the last week, it was only the first day of Comic Con, and it hadn’t even technically started yet, and he hadn’t disagreed with too many dudebros yet. Although he didn’t peg Tony Stark as a dudebro.

He pulled out his phone, tapped a couple things, and then shoved it under Steve’s nose.

youknowhoiam + nomad

youknowhoiam i would like to commission you for a 24x36” print of each of the avengers, $500k for each

read 22:34pm, 3 weeks ago

That was Tony Stark!?

Steve looked up at him for a couple seconds, long enough for him to question him. “Uh, you ok, kid?”

“That was you? I thought someone was playing a prank!” Steve said, slightly panicked, now not entirely sure that the weed actually left his system.

“Jesus kid,” Tony Stark said, rolling his eyes and grabbing Steve’s arm and basically frog-marching him out of the center, “we’re going to Starbucks and we’ll have a talk about this commission.”

Steve didn’t really have anything against the Avengers, hell, he was very much in love with one of them, and half a million dollars for each one… he was gay so he just barely passed high-school math class and they never trusted him with the finance stuff at the coffee shop where he worked part-time, but even he knew that that was a pretty, very good deal.

Getting dragged out of the center by a guy who was a lot stronger than he let on, he had a small something against.

“Stark! Stark! Let me go, I will go to Starbucks with you,” Steve said, straightening out his flannel shirt when he let him go.

“Oi Stark! You better not be harassing my boy Rogers,” Wade, the slightly strange security guy who may or may not actually be a security guy but some college guy but Steve stopped wondering a while ago, said, pretty much materializing out of thin air, just before they were about to leave the center.

“Wade go back to your boyfriend,” Steve said rolling his eyes, but he was smiling, which ruined any effect he was going for. Wade grinned down at him and ruffled his hair, “Aww babe, you’re right here,” he said, pressing a loud, obnoxious kiss to the top of his head, stumbling a little when Steve shoved him and grumbled that both of them were already taken, dickhead.

“Wade, stop flirting with my artist-” Tony started, putting on his ‘I’m Tony Stark’ voice.

“Would you rather I flirt with Spidey?” Wade said, smirking and then disappearing behind a plant when Tony just about lunged at him, running back into the center when he thought they couldn’t see him (he was in a bright red Spider-Man cosplay, it was the middle of July, in California, they could see him very well).

“He’s an ass,” Tony grumbled, walking quickly and ducking into Starbucks.

“Eh,” Steve said, shrugging, “you get used to it.”

They both got large americanos, Steve because he was at Comic Con and he was only human, Tony because it was his regular order, this was one of many for the both of them today, and Tony explained what he wanted and refused to pay him less than 100,000 dollars for each one (they worked it down to 90,000 dollars because Steve had no idea what he was going to do with 600,000 dollars (he had no idea what he was going to do with - give him a minute - 540,000 dollars)).

He left the Starbucks feeling… strange. Yeah, no, there was no other word for it.

He was used to leaving cons feeling less than a hundred percent, sometimes with a couple bruises, sometimes on a high, but he’s never started a con like this.

It’s going to be a long four days.

He loved Comic Con, he really did, all of them and all of it. So many dudebros had a huge Thing against movie/show panels and the actors because of the fangirls and because they thought that they ‘weren’t real geeks’ but Steve didn’t really mind, a lot of them were pretty nice and some of them even bought his clothes, but Tom Holland groupies were another species altogether, fucking hell, the man wasn’t that hot and all he’d done was a supporting role in The Flash but…

He loved Comic Con, but it exhausted him, he was falling asleep almost as soon as he sat on his hotel bed, despite the AC/DC that was surrounding him, shaking the wall-art, that he could practically see the sound waves of, but he’d promised Bucky that he’d call him at the end of the day, so he pulled out his phone, put it on charge, called him and put it on speaker so he could get ready for bed. Bucky picked up on the second ring.

“Hey baby,” Bucky said, warmly, a smile evident in his voice. Steve flopped into bed, leaning against the headboard, he mumbled, “Hey Buck, miss y’,” through a yawn, smiling when Bucky laughed. “I missed you too, baby, you tired?” he teased. “Nah,” Steve said, through another yawn, sliding down the headboard, slipping his eyes shut.

He fell asleep 0.2 seconds later.

Forget heroes: The Marvel Cinematic Universe needs more supervillains

Thanos deserves more than this.

Image: marvel studios

Warning: This post contains MAJOR spoilers for the end of Avengers: Infinity War

Maybe I’m a monster, but the moment I cheered the loudest during Avengers: Infinity War was when all the superheroes disintegrated and the bad guy got his happy ending.

I’m certainly not a fan of genocide (to put it mildly), or even a Thanos groupie. But I do like compelling stories, and a villain-centric arc that refused to let the heroes win was the first time a Marvel movie has surprised me.

SEE ALSO: After ‘Infinity War,’ which ‘Avengers 4’ heroes will lead the fight?

So what’s the problem? Well, the ending leaves me itching for a Thanos prequel instead of the next Avengers or even Captain Marvel — which will undoubtedly undo this unhappy ending. And the knowledge that we’ll probably never get that prequel is why the Marvel Cinematic Universe is starting to lose me.

Every two-bit comic book fan will tell you heroes are only as great as their villains. Everyone, it seems, except for the folks at Marvel Studios.

I’m not the first to point out Marvel’s “villain problem,” or how evil characters tend to be disposable onscreen. Many had high hopes that the introduction of Thanos would fix this problem, but he’s only shined a spotlight on it. Marvel’s villain problem runs deep, requiring a total shift in the MCU franchise formula.

But it won’t be fixed until Marvel actually admits it’s a problem. Head of studio Kevin Feige told io9 that he recognizes the issue with their villains — yet he feels pretty OK about it. “It always starts with what serves the story the most and what serves the hero the most,” he said.

I could do with getting rid of, like, two-thirds of these characters.

Image: marvel studios

But by failing to see how villains are as integral as heroes, the MCU fundamentally misunderstands what makes a good superhero story.

At first, the MCU got away with wasting great superheroes on forgettable villains who were plot devices disguised as characters. But Avengers: Infinity War showed how short-sighted that was. And it ain’t gonna cut it anymore.

SEE ALSO: What happens in the end credits of ‘Avengers: Infinity War’

I’m tired of paint-by-numbers movies introducing hordes of new bad guys that the hero can Hulk-smash until the next round and round and around we go, ad infinitum. Infinity War’s ending was powerful because it finally broke from that cycle … until the end credits, at which point Nick Fury reminds us it’ll be business as usual soon enough.

What’s next for the MCU once it wraps on the biggest bad’s inevitable defeat in Avengers 4? I hope investing in villains is a top priority. From the looks of Venom, it just might be (though don’t put all your eggs in that basket).

Once the Infinity Gauntlet conflict ends, villains will be key to keeping audiences engaged in this increasingly expansive crossover machine. Here’s why, and how.

Villains need their own arcs, developed over multiple movies

The first step is to invest time and effort into establishing villains who evolve throughout the franchise. Marvel was so careful about slowly introducing and incorporating its heroes into the larger MCU. Why don’t villains get half as much thought?

I’m legitimately crying.

Image: marvel studios

This shift toward villains would set the stage for more meaningful conflicts, and allow for experimentation with the kind of stories Marvel tells. Why not bring Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan back for a prequel? Or zoom in on Thanos and Gamora’s backstory?

There’s a reason Loki was crowned “best Marvel villain” for so long. It’s because the first Thor movie was as much his origin story as Thor’s. Loki’s reappearances across the franchise made us as attached to him as we were to any Avenger.

Then there’s Captain America: Winter Soldier and Civil War, which succeeded because the original Captain America established the foundation of Bucky’s character — and then twisted it and his relationship to Cap in a gut-wrenching way.

SEE ALSO: Jeff Goldblum picks his Avengers champion (and it’s not Thor)

And don’t forget Erik Killmonger, who captivated our hearts and minds in about 30 minutes of screen time. Black Panther started with Killmonger, as J’Bou tells his son the story of Wakanda, leading to an entire opening scene establishing Erik’s motivations.

Thanos had the best Infinity War arc, but it was still wasted

Sure, Thanos was better than, say, Ultron.

I was really hoping Thanos would kill Tony Stark.

Image: Marvel Studios

But many comic book fans felt the movie squandered his story. Our own Adam Rosenberg wrote an explainer on the character’s comic book iteration, showing moviegoers just how many missed opportunities there were in Infinity War. Like how “the sight of a rough-skinned, misshapen Baby Thanos was too much for his mother to bear. It drove her instantly mad, and she tried to kill her newborn.”

It’s a detail that would have given much more depth to his and Gamora’s story.

For general audiences, Thanos came across as, at first, laughable. So much so that Peter Quill feels the need to speak roast Thanos, almost as if the movie anticipated the criticism. Marvel probably did anticipate it, because despite 10 years and 19 movies of carefully fitting superheroes into the Infinity War puzzle, it’s never really been about the villain. When the time came, they were like, “Shit — no one even knows why this big dumb purple gummy bear even matters.”

SEE ALSO: Thanos isn’t as lame as the MCU has made him seem

Thanos was basically relegated to after-credits scenes for 10 years, only being more prominently featured in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 1. as a disembodied giant stone monster.

Marvel’s run out of heroes — but there are plenty of great villains left

Marvel’s done such a good job of establishing a wide array of heroes that it’s basically run out of top tier IP for more franchises. Ant-Man should be indication enough that we’re scraping the bottom of the barrel, and it only gets Hawkeye levels of mediocre from here.

You know what Marvel Studios hasn’t capitalized on? Its fantastic villain-centric comics.

We’ve already mentioned the wasted material of Thanos Rising. But in the comicverse, there’s also a whole run after Civil War where Green Goblin takes control of S.H.I.E.L.D. and assembles a “Dark Avengers,” re-appropriating our favorite hero costumes as villains: Bullseye becomes Daredevil and Venom takes over for Spider-Man. That’s just two relevant examples.

You can get rid of all of these except Spidey and the big dude.

Image: marvel studios

Fix Marvel’s arms race for bigger, badder threats with better villains

Ever since the first Avengers, Marvel’s been chasing bigger catastrophes than the attack on New York — but that’s the wrong way to go about it.

The result is a franchise stuck in a disaster-porn arms race. The cost of this increasingly enormous and ridiculous scale is personal stakes (and apartment buildings). Infinity War kept needing to remind us that the risk of Thanos winning was universal genocide, because we’re that desensitized to world-ending threats.

Spider-Man: Homecoming, on the other hand, is a great example of how villains can ground the whole story, introducing personal stakes on a smaller scale. Yes, that’s kinda Spidey’s thing, while the Avengers deal with universe-ending stuff. But actually, Captain America: Winter Soldier, Civil War, Black Panther, and even Logan all took similar approaches to villains and scale.

SEE ALSO: One Doctor Strange line from ‘Infinity War’ basically sets up ‘Avengers 4’

We live in the age of the anti-hero

Just look at some of the biggest pop culture phenomenons over the past few years: Breaking Bad, Dexter, Mad Men. Or, if you want to go closer to home, Marvel’s own Jessica Jones or Deadpool.

No one is wholly good or wholly bad. That’s why we adore Game of Thrones, with its heroes who commit villainous act and its villains who have undeniable humanity. Blurring the lines between good and evil is the point of George R.R. Martin’s series, which deconstructs the common fantasy genre trope.

I need about 100x more of this.

Image: marvel studios

Marvel movies almost always fail at making even the heroes relatable. Save for Black Panther, Marvel stories are usually irrelevant to the real world. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Superheroes inherently engage with our society’s ideals, morals, and struggle to be good. Shouldn’t Marvel reflect how difficult that question is to answer?

Which reminds me…

This sanctimonious heroic bullshit is getting old

Show of hands: How many times did you yell at the heroes of Infinity War for repeatedly losing stone after stone to Thanos because of an aggressively simple-minded and selfish moral compass?

Yes, I know Cap: “We don’t trade lives.” That’s the summary of this entire movie’s conflict. Thanos believes in sacrificing half the universe’s population for a greater good, while the Avengers think they shouldn’t have to sacrifice anything at all to save half of the universe’s population.

SEE ALSO: The Marvel Cinematic Universe would be 1,000 times better if EVERY hero rocked facial hair

That’s not only a really narrow definition of heroism, but also astoundingly unsophisticated ethics.

The Avengers could use some lessons from The Good Place, namely the trolley problem. Because the idea of sacrificing one to save the lives of many isn’t a rosy concept, but there’s enough ethical grounds to warrant some debate!

But no. Cap grunts, everyone agrees. Ultimately, we have their moral high horses to thank for saving Vision (not even) at the cost of half a universe full of lives. Hope that clean conscience is worth it!

Avengers’ morality is tired, outdated, and underdeveloped. Sacrifice is part of the superhero job description. Heroes do trade lives. Just ask 9/11 first responders, or other everyday people risking their lives for others. Hell, ask Groot! Or Peter Quill! Even annoyingly uncompromising heroes like Batman are willing to sacrifice reputation and love for the greater good of Gotham.

I’m only watching Avengers 4 if Vision stays dead.

Image: marvel studios

This Care Bear heroism plagues the Marvel franchise, preventing fresh, original storytelling. Black Panther was the first movie in a long time to complicate the Marvel moral ethos. We can’t just keep relying on Cap and Iron Man’s creative differences.

It’ll be increasingly hard for us to care about another two hours of dudes in tights fighting when we know the good guy wins, almost always without consequence. Infinity War dared to break that mold, and we hope Avengers 4 genuinely wrestles with the mistakes the heroes made in it. But I’ll eat my laptop if the Infinity Gauntlet story doesn’t end with most of the heroes being revived.

I’m not arguing the bad guys should take over the MCU. But the MCU needs to let bad guys do what they do best: Force us and our heroes to complicate our understanding of what it means to fight for good.

If it doesn’t, we’re just going to keep getting superhero movies where the good guys win — because that’s how the MCU business model works. And that’s not ultimately very entertaining.
