#she says oh that's Thena don't mind her she doesn't really like people

[softquietsteadylove]

What about a summer camp story?

Gil is the new head of the cafeteria. He's cooking for the children and camp supervisors. One time he asks one of the supervisors, Sersi, why this beautiful, statue like woman never eats. Sersi tells him her name and that she never eats in the cafeteria because the food was awful before Gil came. One Day when Gil meets Thena personally for the first time, he can convince her to try his food in the cafeteria.

✨🖤Hugs and Love🖤✨

"There's nothing in there but flour and cornmeal."

The statuesque woman startled, rushing to pull her head out of the pantry like a camper trying to sneak a snack back to their bunk.

Gil chuckled, "everything that's already made is either in the fridges or in the cabinets over the flat top."

She nodded silently, no apologies to be made over being caught red handed, "well, I'll-"

"You can have whatever you want," Gil rushed before she could make her escape. "Anything you like--just tell me."

She cleared her throat, maintaining what dignity she could after being found out. "I was looking for any tortilla chips leftover from chili night."

"Right," Gil nodded, looking down at the late night prep he was getting done. He set down his knife, "because you don't eat the cafeteria food."

He had noticed, of course. It would be hard not to notice the one face who never, ever entered the lunch line. Even the busiest counsellors like Dane and Sersi still had to sit down for dinner at some point. But the elusive activities director always walked around with a power bar or a protein shake in hand, it seemed.

Sersi had told him that the food was particularly horrid before he came to be the camp cook. Many of them had their reservations, and Thena wasn't one for dining communally anyway! He shouldn't take it personally, was her point.

But he was more than curious about the reclusive creature who took the kids on hikes and helped them with archery and volleyball and soccer.

She gave him a more standoffish look, still keeping her hands clasped behind her in her camp t-shirt and white denim shorts. He had never seen her in anything else, even early when the counsellors might grab breakfast in their pajamas before the rambunctious pre-teens rose for the day.

"I hope you won't take offense."

Gil swiped his hands on the towel tossed over his shoulder and faced her more fully. "You say that, but I'm pretty sure you won't even try a bite of anyone else's food."

She shrugged, "I'm not a food sharer."

Gil nodded, "right. That scared of it?"

Her shoulders rose faintly, like a cat arching its back for a fight. "You didn't have to sample the food of your predecessor. You would swear off the stuff as well, I think."

He snorted, "that bad?"

Thena gave him the driest look he had seen from her yet, and that was really saying something. "I brought enough power bars to sustain me for months."

Gil rolled his eyes, although he had to admit, she had one hell of a resolve. "You would rather survive on dry, crumbly protein bars than even try my food?"

"They are not dry."

"Crumbly though," he countered, and she accepted the rebuttal. He walked closer, "there must be something you'd be willing to try. Doesn't have to be anything the truck drops off, although I'll have you know that I don't make shit that comes frozen in a plastic bag."

Thena eyed him in return, still cautious but obviously too intrigued - or hungry - to avoid it. "You don't?"

Gil huffed, snapping his towel off his shoulder and tossing it onto the counter, "not on my life! I refused to take the job unless they changed their supplier and I was allowed to use real food. That shit's not good for kids anyway."

That seemed to sway the obstinate woman slightly, who at least drifted closer to the end of his prep counter. "Well, what do you make, then?"

"Do you not even pay attention to what's on the board?" Gil sighed, although he could guess the answer already. He crossed his arms, "of course not."

"I have other things to do," Thena crossed her arms as well, "I don't just have one age group to manage. It is, in fact, all the little devils who do the activities."

Gil smirked; she called them 'little devils' but here she was, same as the rest of them, spending three whole months at some camp in the woods so the kids could have some outdoor enrichment and three meals and a bed while school was out.

"So?" she prompted, her eyes flicking down to the green onion he was chopping. "What is that for?"

"Well, these are for something else," he shook his head at her prickly demands. "You can freeze them while they're fresh so they stay firm as a garnish for some crunch. But I can make you some eggs if you want."

"Eggs?"

"Eggs," he nodded, "y'know, usually a chicken lays 'em but you can get other-"

"I understand the concept!" she bit at him, although maybe it wasn't as scary if you weren't under the age of 13. "I'm asking if they're real!"

"Real eggs," he vowed, moving to the fridge as if she were holding a weapon for him to produce the evidence. He pulled out two from the wholesale flat he had in the fridge. "See?"

She pursed her lips at his demeaning demonstration.

"Okay, okay," he chuckled. At least she was fun, this Goddess of War he had heard so much about. "You want something to eat or not?"

He wasn't sure, but he would bet that her stomach was winning the argument against her head.

She relaxed her stance slightly, fingers tapping against the end of the counter. "Could...scrambled, please?"

He knew there had to be a human under that shell. And she was hungry, "yes, ma'am."

Now she was the one to roll her eyes.

Gil turned the burner on, though, tossing a little nob of butter into the pan.

"The food truly was horrid, last year," Thena began her confession as he waited for his pan to reach an appropriate heat. She looked down at her hands. "It disagreed with me on several occasions."

That was what made her so much more resistant than the others. Gil smiled, "and here I thought you were being shy."

She scowled, "I'm-"

"I'm kidding, I'm kidding," he waved it off, cracking his eggs and scrambling in the pan with chopsticks, "sorry. The last way I would describe you is shy."

Thena relaxed somewhat, and he discovered that it was possible for those sharp little shoulders to slouch. "I know I'm the only one who feels so strongly about it."

"I think that mass produced, bagged and canned shit would turn anyone's stomach," Gil offered more gently, keeping his eggs moving on the heat--her eggs. He smiled, "I don't blame you."

Thena drifted a little closer still. "I'm sorry, Gilgamesh, for being so unfair as to not even try anything you've made."

He shrugged, only looking at her briefly while working on her eggs, "hey, it's okay."

She paused, maybe not having expected her forgiveness to come so quickly.

"Also," he chuckled, pulling her very soft scramble out and spiralling the sheet of eggs onto a plate. He added a few of his green onions, just for the sake of it, "it's just Gil."

She pursed her lips at him again, but accepted the plate of eggs, swirled into a peaked cyclone. She gave him a slightly less unamused look, "showing off?"

He gave her his most charming grin, "gotta impress first time clients."

Thena rolled her eyes at him, cutting off the smallest piece possible with her fork.

"Oh, come on!"

She glared at him for interrupting her snacking, but took the small bite for what it was. Her eyebrows raised, and he noticed their darker colour in comparison to her almost white-blonde hair. "Hm...not bad."

Gil kept his eyes on her as he reached forward with his chopsticks. She didn't stop him--even moved the plate back closer to him. He took a bite for himself, "not bad--they're good!"

Rather than argue with him again, the statue of a woman took another bite, with another smile, "fine, they're good. Happy?"

Gil smiled as well, watching as Thena took larger and larger bites, probably starving for decent nutrients after all her smoothies and power bars. At least he knew what to make for tomorrow morning's breakfast. "I'm getting there."

# pranking the eternals (it doesn't end well) 🍨

━ pairings: eternals x reader

━ genre(s): fluff, random blurbs

━ warnings: none! prolly some muses being out of character? but yeah

━ words: 0.7

━ notes: in celebration of April Fool's, I wrote this silly little thing at 2 am when I should definitely be in bed <3 As always, like, reblogs, and comments are highly appreciated ! and yes, requests are OPEN

THENA

Trying to trick the goddess of war is like poking a hornet’s nest with a stick and hoping for the best - it won’t end well !

And mainly because you don’t know if it's something you should be doing when the poor woman is already suffering from Mahd Wr’ry

But you wanted to include her, to at least take her mind off her worries. Maybe as long as it is harmless (and wholesome) then it’s okay, right?

“Thena! I can talk to animals!” You tell her one day, holding a small bird in your hand. “I just heard this bird talk to me, I promise”

Thena turns to face you, confused but also intrigued. “Really? What did the little one say?”

“Well, it said that–” as if on cue, the bird chirped. “That you are the most lovely, wonderful, and awe-inspiring person in the universe.” You leaned closer to her, “And that… you are fiercely loyal and protective to your loved ones,”

Thena couldn’t help but smile at your antics. She thinks it's really endearing. “How awfully observant of the little one, no? I believe that we should keep them around,” she leans forward and places a peck at the corner of your lips. “Thank you, dearest. I think that’s rather lovely of you.”

She never lets you live it down (but you don't mind <3)

DRUIG

Local Menace™

He says he doesn’t want to participate but the mischievous look in his eyes says otherwise

You trust him very much with your life, you really do but the way he has been touchy the entire day? constantly being around in your presence? The other Eternals trying to keep themselves from laughing whenever they see you? Certainly not suspicious actions

You tried to approach Sersi once to ask something before Druig appeared at your side, almost scaring the wits out of you

You confront him on what he’s doing and this man basically goes: “I’m not doing anything. Maybe you’re imagining things, love” before tugging you someplace private

Okay, maybe his idea of ‘pranks’ is spreading an obscene amount of time with you - and maybe, just maybe, you don’t mind it at all.

SPRITE

A full-on prank war, no one is spared. It’s either you two are fighting against each other or trying to cause minor inconveniences towards EVERYONE

god forbid anyone who gets caught in the line of fire - Kingo tried to intervene once and he ended up with his hair green for an entire month;

The pranks include: moving other people’s stuff someplace else, putting hair dye (temporary ones) in shampoos, putting obscene amounts of salt in whatever Gilgamesh is cooking - the normal stuff

Whoever manages to trick each other most wins. The prize? Doing whatever the other says, of course!

It’s childish and ridiculous but Sprite has a lot of fun doing it with you, just don’t take it personally if she wins :D

MAKKARI

Your resident partner in crime, is literally the best person to team up with

Oh, you need help with distracting Druig while you steal a pair of his socks? She's on it !

Now you need help with running and hiding from an obviously annoyed Druig who is demanding for his socks? Makkari is on call !

Creates a secret sign-language system that only the two of you can understand so that when you’re shit-talking about someone else, they won’t know that you’re talking about them!

No one has picked up on it as of yet, which is a benefit for the two of you !

The reason why you teamed up with her was that pranking Makarri is near impossible - you can't even breathe in her direction without her knowing! So, why beat them when you can join them?

KINGO

He’s just so confused. Kingo loves you the way that you are, but sometimes he just questions how much he loves you

Walked into the kitchen one day and almost cried when he saw that you were boiling your cereal

“WHAT ARE YOU DOING?”

“Oh, good morning, Kingo! Just boiling my cereal, didn’t like the milk being too cold”

“(Y/N) I love you but if you keep doing this I’m just going to break up with you–”

He gets his revenge by taking horrendous photographs of you when you’re asleep, hair askew in different directions, drool and all - and uses it as his wallpaper.

No, you may not change it - it’s his payback after you basically terrorized your cereal earlier D:

Control part 2-Druig x Reader

Summary: Druig has taken you under his wing but not everything is easy as it seems. The Eternals make an appearance and it's time for all of you to plan what is next.

(A/N: I wasn't planning to write a second part so soon since it's 2am but here it is! Thank you all who enjoyed the first part. The ending I planned it differently ending things quickly and all of the sudden, but I like how this turned out once I started writing some more.)

"Hey, (Y/N). Would you mind getting me some more vegetables for tonight's meal?" One of the villagers asked right when I was heading back to my room. I smiled at them and nodded, I was given a basket and began to head over to where all the crops are.

These past few years have easier for me, I've given Druig no problem or the villagers. I've learned to control my powers little by little, but it is better than before. I retrained myself from feeling anger and because of this Druig has kept me away from others.

I only came out when it was necessary. But, I grew fond of the humans here so I did my best to help out with what I could, it was upsetting when I had to see old humans being replaced by new ones, the first ones we knew were no longer alive, everyone was knew.

I was also fascinated with that concept, new humans being replaced by others, having a family, having children to pass along their memories or religion.

Everyone either waved or smiled when they saw me. I finally made it and began to cut or dig up whatever vegetables were to be needed for today's meal. I began to fill the basket with potatoes, carrots and tomatoes.

"(Y/N)? How are you holding up?" I heard a quiet voice ask me. I continued cutting up some tomatoes when I heard Druig behind me. "Is there anything bothering you?"

"The only thing bothering me is there's no more potatoes." I joked and wiped my hands from the dirt. I sighed and finally raised my head up and looked at him.

Druig smirked and nodded. "I'll have more be planted then, I know they are your favorite. I'll be inside if you need me."

I watched Druig leave back inside. He'd always come and make sure everything was okay, we don't have much here to do but I did try my best to remain calm. It wasn't always easy but Druig knew how to calm me down.

"Okay, here's the few you asked me to bring." I carried a whole full basket with vegetables. The lady smiled warmly at me and stopped what she was doing, she wiped her hands on her dress and examined the vegetables.

"They grew out to be perfect. You did really well, (Y/N(." She complimented my work. I decided to give a chance and try planting, she gave me advice and taught me how to grow nice fresh vegetables and fruit.

"Thank you ma'am."

"You're always so polite. It would be nice to see more younger people like you." I smile to myself and fight the urge to chuckle at her words. She doesn't know that I am older than way, her older.

"Oh, who are they?" She looked up ahead. I followed her eyes and I felt my heart getting heavy. It was them again.

Sersi, Ikaris, Kingo, Sprite, Gilgamesh and Thena, but they were with a guy recording them?

I tried hiding my face with a scarf and began walking away. "Hey, can you tell me where Druig is?" I jumped when I felt a hand on my shoulder.

I felt myself going limb, it was a strange but familiar sensation. I turned around and my eyes glowed. "It's nice to see you again." I sarcastically said and smirked.

Everyone looked at me confused. "Druig?"

"If you're asking for me you shouldn't be talking to her." I say. "Come with me." They began to follow and everyone in the villagers stared back the the team.

"Not creepy at all."

I stopped walking and saw Druig walking out to greet them. They began to talk to each other and I remained silent and obedient. "I'm sure you're all hungry, you made it just in time for dinner."

Everyone stared at me weirdly when we made it the to kitchen area and took our seat by the table. Dinner was served to us all. I looked at them back, and tilted my head.

"Why are you controlling her? It's kinda creepy dude." Kingo said which made me look at him. The camera guy next to him continued to film. I raised my hand up and sent the to crash against the wall.

I opened back my eyes and felt myself back again. "Oh, I-It's everyone back again.." I nervously looked at Druig and he raised an eyebrow and glared at the rest.

"I control her because she'll lose control at the slightest if things all of you should know that. Only this way will she remain calm." Druig rolled his eyes at their stupid questions.

Thena remained silent since she wasn't so different to me. "What was she allowed to do all these years then?"

"This might sound stupid but I was not allowed to go outside without him knowing." They all turned their attention to me and Gilgamesh scoffed and began to laugh.

"So, you made (Y/N) into your pet." I furrowed my eyebrows confused and saw Druig giving him a cold look, despite these many years he's still hard for me to read.

"Not even Thena was held hostage like her." Kingo muttered and Druig's blue eyes turned to him and Ikaris who has his arms crossed.

"At least I've helped her control her powers, even if it was manipulation from my part. You all never to deal with her or even bothered in contacting her." Druig coldly said and stood up from his seat.

"Don't talk to us like that."

Druig smirked but continued to glare, this time at Sprite. "And what are you going to do?" He hummed when she didn't answer when he almost knelt to her size.

"She doesn't remember, but most of the times I would use my powers on her." I continued to look at him. This time he wouldn't meet my eyes. "I had to even control for many years, she was a danger to herself.."

I stood up from my seat and felt a strong breeze, the door opened and so did the windows making a few things fall down the ground. "(Y/N)." I ignored Druig calling out my name.

I continued walking until I reached a river. I began to steady my breathing I began to remind the many times Druig and I meditated, so I began to do just that. I feel upset and angry at him I had no idea he had been controlling me all this long.

"Did I even make the right choice coming here?" I looked up and grew concern when I saw snow falling over me. "No." I began to remind myself at how much he's helped me.

I felt another breeze but it wasn't because of me, something flew past me. I saw creature, a deviant fighting Ikaris. The village is under attack.

I began to run back and heard everyone panicking, half of the other villagers had shotguns in hand and began to fire at another deviant. The deviant ignored them and began to chase the same lady I was helping earlier,she was with three younger children and an older man.

"There's no way they are dying." My eyes glowed and I touched the ground and it began to crack all the way to them. The earth beneath us split in two and the family ran to shelter, the deviant fell into the ground and dirt with rocks began to fell on it.

"Did you get that?!" I heard someone shout. I rolled my eyes at Kingo who continued to film everything. I ignored him and began to help more people.

**********

"(Y/N)? Are you okay?" Druig asked when I went back to him. I nodded my head.

"Can't you see what you did? (Y/N), after so many centuries I think you finally uncovered your true powers." I met his blue and my eyes widened.

"Wind and Earth. You can control the elements! You just need to learn the rest. You used your anger and used it for good, you protected those villagers."

I took a step back when Druig got closer. He fought the urge to roll his eyes, "It wasn't my intentions to control you for so long but-"

"You believed it was for my own good and that's why I didn't harm anyone." I finished what he was going to say.

Druig smirked and nodded his head, "You continue to impress me, (Y/N)."

Sersi and Kingo came running to us panicking, "Gilgamesh.. he's dead." Druig and I looked at each other and followed them back to the woods.

***********

We all held a quick funeral and reunited with the last members of our team, Phastos and Makkari. We were back on our ship and everyone began to plan on what to do, as soon as we saw Makkari again Druig would keep his eyes off of her and smiled more than he ever did.

Both of them happy to see each other, but the flirting was getting to me...

I remained seated and turned me back to them both, the temperature got a bit colder and Druig only warned me by calling my name, he knew something was wrong but I'm sure he had no idea why.

"Well I missed you a lot too." I had to glance back to them again. Makkari and Druig both sharing a teasing smile. I felt jealousy. Through the centuries I grew and developed a crush on him, it's funny because we didn't talk much at first and he used to only talk to me if necessary when I diets started training.

Now, if feels like he opened up to me a bit but never acted like this before. Makkari and Druig always liked one another, I believed they dated a while back.

Though she isn't the only one who dated him, Sersi did at first before she married Ikaris but it quickly ended.

"I think I know how we can put a celestial to sleep." Sersi looked at Druig and so did the rest. "It won't be easy, I'll need all of us to try it."

"I think I got an idea. We have to combine all of our strength and combine them, into the uni-mind." Phastos began to explain.

He began to divide Ajak's power many layers and taking out what was necessary. He began to create a sort of bracelet for us all. Druig whispered something to Makkari and she ran past us, I squinted my eyes and realized Ikaris had been watching her.

I felt a cold chill on my spine when he made eye contact with me, his eyes were cold and empty. "Druig." I whispered and reached my hand to grab his jacket so he'd pay attention to me.

"I have a feeling somethings gonna happen. Ikaris, he's acting stranger than usual." Druig looked at me confused but said nothing

His face said it all, he wasn't going to say anything but keep an eye on him too.

And in a matter of minutes everything changed..

***********

We made it to the Indian Ocean and were all fighting against Ikaris and Sprite who refused to stop the Emergence. We were all attacking Imadis preventing him from harming Sersi or Druig who was going to out a celestial to sleep, even if it means risking my own life, I won't let humanity end.

I felt angrier than before I saw that he hurt Druig, we placed our trust on Ikaris and he ended killing Ajak. I raised my hands up and made the water turn into icicles and through them at Ikaris impaling his arm and leg, it doesn't harm him as much but anything to keep his distracted.

Makkari continued to attack him and Phastos trying to him hold down. Thena was nowhere to be seen. I placed my hand on the ground and yet again opened another hole in the ground, more lava began to surround us when I did it. I raised lava with rocks and made them fall on Ikaris, the man easily dodged it and only had burnt his shoulder a bit.

I was exhausted. I've never used my powers for this song. Ikaris turned to me and his eyes glowed again, instead he came flying to me and held my neck throwing me to the ground beginning to choke me. He hit my head against it and I felt blood running down the side of my head.

Makkari pushed him off of me and Phastos quickly restrained him from the ground. From afar I could see Sersi running and Thena returning to us, quickly from the ice I saw movement, the Celestial was waking up.

Something happened, Sersi stopped it. She made it stop and with the uni-mind we made it fall back to sleep. I fell to the ground and was relieved that this was over.

Everyone joined in a group again, I slowly stood up and wondered where Druig was. I saw a figure walking to us and it was him! He smiled when he saw Makkari and thanked her, I was about to turn away when I heard him calling to me.

Druig quickly began walking to me until he reached me and smiled wide. I was surprised and taken back when he wrapped his arms around me and held me tight. "My beautiful, beautiful (Y/N). You're safe."

I lightly gasped when I felt he pressed his lips against mine. He's kissing me..What?!

I felt Druig running his hand down my hair. I blushed at his words and actions, I felt my entire face turning red. Since when does he have feelings for me? I-I thought he still loved Makkari.

"I'm so glad you are safe." Druig pulled back a bit and kept smiling when he looked into my eyes. "You did such a wonderful job." He continued to praise me.

Too embarrassed to say anything or to even look at him, I leaned forward again and hugged his tighter, hiding my face against his chest as I heard him chuckle. "You'll be alright."

Druig held onto my hand and pulled me over to where the rest of our team was with Sprite who no longer wished to be immortal. For the first time I felt love, I never thought I'd have this strange, yet beautiful and welcomed feeling. Druig continued to hold my hand and even he was blushing.

Everyone of us began to leave until it was just Druig and I. "We better go and start a new life then." He shrugged. I nodded and began walking forward until I saw he wasn't following me.

"(Y/N)?" I turned around and saw Druig on his knees, he was holding something small in his fingers. My heart dropped when I saw it was a ring.

Druig smiles when he sees my face completely change. "I've had this for centuries but knew it wasn't the right time considering your well-being, will you accept and start a new and proper life with me?"

Tears began to fill my eyes and my vision got blurry. The clouds parted and now it was sunny and warm. "Druig..yes.." I wiped the tears away and ran over to him and held him tighter than before.

Druig hugged me back and we stayed like that for a while, until we finally parted, he gave me the ring and soon we were off to start a brand new life together.

[allkinds-oftrash]

Just watched Eternals; here are my thoughts as a Marvel fan and film student:

(Also I stopped using the dashes halfway through and its mostly rambles and funny comments so don't mind it and this is long so everything is under the cut)

- Hnnng the too dark lighting strikes again in night scenes - who was the gaffer I just wanna talk!

- Every time I see Thena's suit I get sad that it's CGI; yes it looks great but I can now also tell that it's fake. Like there's literally no weight to it and doesn't affect Jolie's movements at all

And I'm sure she must have felt out of character without a proper costume to embody. You know how in the older movies the actors used to say that wearing the suit really made them feel like the hero they were portraying (CEvans and Hemsworth come to mind) and Jolie didn't even get that experience.

- Wtf is Druig doing - is this what people meant that he's a cult leader??

- Does Ajak not speak at all??? Hello yall can't cast Selma Hayek and do her dirty like this

- Of course the English museums stole their artifact; are we even surprised??

- Listen Dane and Sprite are funny af; the dialogue is hella witty

- I love their family dynamic

- Ngl I'm living for the visuals

- Phastos is a mood for wanting us to advance faster

- I'm sorry Druig's powers make him so creepy even if he is cute with Makkari

- So Sersei's powers is basically being the Avatar hshshs

- I can't decide who I like her better with

- Wtf there's an actual sex scene in this; I thought yall were joking I'm so glad I'm watching this on my own rn

- Seeing everyone in traditional Indian clothes during the wedding made me so emotional as an Indian girl welp hshshhs

- Excuse me wtf they really killed off Selma Hayek after like 5 mins of screentime?? And thank god she speaks but also !!! Why would you do this to me Marvel

- The non linear timeline is not working for me welp; this should have been a series tbh to help flesh out all the characters properly and each century or so

- What is going on Thena?? She has alien dementia???

- Druig being the group's devil's advocate but also that's valid especially after he just witnessed genocide and was told not to interfere

- EW WTF IS THIS; why couldn't they just do the whole song in Hindi SCREAMS

- The choreography is on point though

- HAHAHAH FRIENDS FROM COLLEGE - I love Kingo so much alr

- I can't believe he's doing a film based on Ikaris I'm crying

- Way to kill the vibes on set damn

- Karun is iconic and valid

- Not the Eternals documentary

- Him being his whole family acting dynasty we love to see it

-Honestly this film should have just been Kingo's documentary; this is hilarious

- The way Ikaris looked so betrayed when Sersei said even he couldn't take down the Deviant. Yall this is a comedy

- Gil is such a wholesome dad type I love him

- I love this family dyanmic so much; the ribbing and roasting and still having love for each other

Arishem looks like the Iron Giant welp shhshsh

Honestly at the rate Earth is going right now, come on Celestial Tiamut, take us out 👀

I mean Arishem has a point; its our time let's go

Excuse me what there's no Olympia??? Holy shit he gave them fake memories what the fuck

What the fuck - they are just alien factory made beings???

So really this is all just Arishem's Barbie Dreamhouse if you think about it??

Oh shit he fucked up with the Deviant dolls

Wait if they are all manufactured why can't they just make another Ajak??

Ahhahshsh ofc Kingo is thinking what I'm thinking. He said robots I said dolls but yeah basically synthetic beings made by Arishem

I fucking love Kuran so much - Earth's original superheroes shhshsh

Druig is so unsettling to me welp is it just me?? Cos Ik everyone loves him with Makkari but he just creeps me out on his own.

Also I've been thinking of this the whole movie but like their accents; listen I know irl it's the actors' accents but like within the film and universe, how does that work?? Did the accents develop from them or did they adopt it after living in their respective areas for that long. Though they all had distinct accents in the beginning so we can say humanity's accents came from them. That's wild to think about.

- Yikes was not expecting this plotline wtf I cannot with the Wendy-Peter-Tink analogy. So technically it is a weird love square with Sprite-Ikaris-Sersei-Dane. Poor Sprite - I hope they can somehow physically age in the future films

Did Dane just ask Sersei if she was Midas??? Bruh she's literally Circe with S-es instead of Cs

"I've missed you" ??? Okay sir you still left though

Lmao man got YEETED in the middle of a century old ghosting apology

I love Kingo and Karun; yes also Karun HOW MANY CAMERAS DO YOU HAVE SIR??

Again would like to talk to the gaffer about lighting night scenes cos what the fuck is this; I can barely see their faces unless my tv was on Vivid screen mode

Thena's Alien Dementia strikes again

"Karun did you get that" I DIED

I wish we had better lighting for this fight scene it does looks pretty dynamic but still doing nothing for me.

Omg the Deviant evolved even more - I'm screaming. Not him getting all high and mighty

NO NOT GILGAMESH!! STOP KILLING THE GOOD ONES WTF

I'm only halfway through wtf and we still haven't seen where Phastos ends up I mean I know but like narratively gimme his modern introduction

"We need Phastos" There we go. But also LET ME MOURN GIL FOR A SECOND

I hate how the general public misinterpreted this scene; HE DID NOT DO IT!! He didn't cause Hiroshima - humans did. He just feels the guilt of it okay. Leave Phastos alone

I LOVE HIM AND HIS FAMILY!! God I love them so much

The whole Superman bit was funny as hell I adore Jack you funky child

"Fall Collection, IKEA, ass" ICONIC

I love Ben so much okay - best husband. Love that he spoke Arabic

AHHAHAHA KINGO'S DOCUMENTARY COMMENTARY.

I love Makkari so much she's so funny and valid

The sibling energy that Ikaris and Druig excluded in that snack swapping scene *chef's kiss*

Wait did Druig and Makkari not date before??? Stfu Kingo I love them

Space colonisation WELP

Thank god he deferred to Sersei I was so confused why everyone immediately went to Ikaris to be the leader like Hello Sersei was chosen. Listen I hate chosen one tropes but I wannna see her growth

Grow up Sprite shsbsh bad joke

Lol Kingo would follow him to the end?? Is everyone in love with Ikaris??

IKARIS KNEW??? THIS MOFO - he deserved to yeet into the sun (listen this is the main spoiler I know of the movie and I found it funny af that Ikaris/Icarus yeeted to the sun)

IKARIS WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!! How dare you omg this is all your fault SOMEONE YEET HIM TO THE SUN NOW

I'm so confused?? Was this his programming and now he feels guilty or is he just being dramatically emotionally for no reason?? I would not put it past him to do the latter tbh

Can Ikaris fuck off - he is RUINING EVERYTHING by everything I mean this family because I love them so much

He just fucking crushed them and their hearts LOOK AT THEM IKARIS YOU LITTLE SHIT

Of course Sprite is going with him

Omggg Kingo agrees with him?? Okay Kingo is valid for not wanting to hurt them despite what he thinks

Karun I love you so much and him speaking in Hindi I cry

Holy shit Makkari's yell took me out

Ikaris leave Makkari alone

All the Ikaris puns have me dying

Also the way I thought Thena and that Deviant were gonna be a thing from the trailer - am I wrong or will they speedrun enemies to lovers in the 5 mins of their fight

Wtf Sprite that is not cool - listen Sprite doing this is not going to make Ikaris love you

Eyyy Druig for the win but also I'm sad how quickly the family became dysfunctional and broke down

FUCK NO NOT THE DEVIANT MANIPULATING HER WITH GIL FUCK THIS

Sersei's gonna turn Tiamut into a tree challenge

Ikaris is gonna yeet himself into the sun now isn't he

Lol is frozen Tiamut going to be the 8th Wonder of the World?

HE'S YEETING AHAHAH BRUH WHY ARE YOU SO DRAMATIC

Other than for the meta jokes about Ikaris/Icarus, what was the reason for him doing that??? He said sorry that was a start he could have started to mend it with the rest of them

Awww Druig and Makkari my beloved I love them so much

Omg Sprite becoming human I'm so emo don't touch meee

Yeet the family is mending!! Also omg not Thena putting her hand in a toaster

Her dynamic with Jack is everything

Phastos is such a good dad

Sign me up for the Druig/Makkari spin off where they set the other Eternals free

Sgjagsh Sprite needing to go to school and Sersei and Kingo being proxy parental figures.

"Even Ikaris (follow his heart)" I cannot like Sir got rejected and his solution was to yeet into the sun what even.

What's going on with your family Dane???

Omg what is this storm?? What did Ikaris do

Oh shit never mind its Arishem

Wtf this is so omnious

EXCUSE ME THAT'S HOW IT ENDS??? Can you imagine if it really flopped and never got a sequel gajaghs that would be the biggest cliffhanger ever.

Anyways on my way to go see Harry Styles as Thanos' hot brother

"What?" It's Harry Styles, Druig

Omg I just burst out laughing but like not going to lie Harry killed it. Like the younger 1D fangirl in me loved it but also the film student and Marvel fan appreciated his acting. Like he fits who Eros would be, you know.

Well THANK god they'll return otherwise that would have been major cliffhangers

Oh?? There's another scene?? Oooh okay so this kinda answered my Dane question about his family. Is that the Arthurian sword?? What is that and why is it talking to him - I'm so confused

EDIT: I'm a dumbass I googled his character and forgot he was Black Knight smh - can't wait to see what Marvel's gonna do with him

Overall, I loved it - it gave me the family of superheroes I wanted from the Avengers and yes while I do think it would have been better as a series Chloe Zhao did amazing. Hella entertaining my fave bits were all the dynamics between the Eternals the superhero plot was alright but the family dynamic is what made this movie for me.

For the Firefighter AU:

As a reference to the movie, what if Thena gets struck by a lightning while on track. Gil finds her unconscious and carries her back to safety. When Thena wakes, she says she's fine, she doesn't need his help and tries to leave.

Hugs and much love!! ✨🖤

The first thing she noticed was the smell (not bad at all, just...different). The second thing she noticed was that she wasn't in her sleeping bag, on the ground. She was in a bed.

Thena shot up from lying down, her chest tight, gasping for breath.

"Hey!"

That lone woodsman rose slowly from his chair at the far end of the mostly-one-room cabin. He held out his hands, like he would to approach an injured animal.

She glared at him from the bed--his bed, she assumed. "What the fuck am I doing here?"

"Fair question," he attempted to defuse her temper, not moving closer and still crouched as if she would pounce on him and rip his throat out. "I found you out in the field, Wolf."

She tried to remember what was last in her mind, but it was hazy. She remembered being on patrol. She was around the open field when she saw...something--had gone to investigate.

"We got a distress call," he gestured to the radio on his table by the window. "Some campers panicked when they saw the dry lightning. I'm guessing you were in the area."

Thena groaned, shifting on the bed. Now that it was brought up, her shoulder did have a certain burn and sting to it. "This is why I don't fuckin' rescue people anymore."

"Because you get struck by lightning when you do?"

She glared at him. His name was Gilgamesh, and that was about all she knew about him. He was part of wildfire prevention, but when that wasn't an all-hands-on-deck situation he did regular firefighter shit. She didn't think any of her boys from her old unit knew him either. "Almost--almost struck by lightning. If I had been, I'm pretty sure you'd have carried back my dead body."

He apparently didn't think that was very funny.

"Oh, lighten up, big guy," she rolled her eyes at him, making it known that this was not that big a deal. She scooched back to the edge of his - admittedly comfortable - bed. "It's nothing-"

She fell straight forward.

"Hey!" he was there in a second, catching her in that mile-wide chest of his before she could hit the ground. His hands held her arms, careful of her shoulders and back, "will you take it easy?"

Thena growled, trying to push off of him as he carefully and gently leaned her back up to the bed. "Get off me."

"You need to heal, Thena."

She looked up at him, shocked by the use of her name. She couldn't remember actually ever giving it to him, but they all did daily check-ins on the shortwave; none of them were exactly total strangers.

"I haven't applied any salve yet," he said gently, holding her eyes as he helped her sit comfortably. His eyes dashed down to her shoulder, "I figured you'd wanna do that yourself."

Thena snatched her hand away from him, sending him into the kitchen to leave her to it. She felt around her back carefully, immediately feeling the burn holes in her shirt and the open, aggravated blisters on her back as a result.

He was right, it had been very, very close.

She looked in the direction of the kitchen. The big guy really hadn't applied any treatment to her injured skin, probably having carried her and laid her face down on his bed to keep from agitating it further. Even if he was too precious about it to take her shirt off, he could have even just stuck his hand up the bottom and applied some fucking cream or something.

He came back with a steaming mug of something and some pills. "Take these--just ibuprofen."

She continued to watch him as she accepted the offering. He drifted to the far side of the room again, giving her the space to which she was so accustomed. It was indeed just ibuprofen in her hand, and some soup in the mug. Something to put in her stomach.

"I have clean cloths and towels in the bathroom," he pointed to the door situated between the kitchen and whatever room he didn't have his bed tucked away in. "You can wear one of my shirts, or I can go and find your camp and bring your stuff back for you."

She frowned, "slow down there, buddy. You make it sound like I'm checking in."

Gil held her eyes with a similar stubbornness. He crossed his arms (also massive). "You're not going back out there until you're healed."

"Oh, I'm not?" she snarled at him. He was the one who called her the White Wolf--well, most did, these days. All the more reason for him not to expect her to be cooped up like this.

"Look," he huffed, leaning off the chair and drifting towards the door already. "I'll stay at the station, I'll give you your space. But you need real treatment, Thena. Your back has open wounds on it, I'm not sending you back out into the woods."

She held his eyes. She would love to tell him to fuck right off and storm right out. But it seemed she was neither up to walking by herself, not able to reach the entirety of her wounds, at the moment. He was right; she was in no condition to go back to her base camp and sleep on a potential infection.

He seemed to understand what her silence meant and stepped away from the door, "well?"

She still wasn't sure about waking up in some stranger's bed and making herself right at fucking home. But she supposed she didn't have much of a choice in the matter. At the very least, she would see what tomorrow brought. "You offering to wash my back for me?"

He blushed.

Thena bit back a smile. That was why he hadn't administered first aid to her while she was unconscious? Because he was a sweet little gentleman?

He caught her holding back her amusement and rolled his eyes, "okay, okay."

Thena let out just a little laughter as he drifted to his bathroom and she heard the tap start. "I'll just-"

"The fuck you will."

She tried not to laugh. He was kind of cute when he was cranky.

Gil emerged with a towel thrown over his shoulder. He walked over to the bed, holding out his hand, "come on."

She sighed; she really didn't like having to lean on someone like this. Literally--using his outstretched hand like a fucking cane. "Ugh."

"Yeah, yeah, fuckin' sucks, I get it," he muttered as he helped her drag herself to the bathroom. He had a towel folded on top of the toilet seat, lowering her down to it. "Look, my eyes will be closed the whole time. You direct me as needed, okay?"

Thena looked up at him but his eyes were already fucking closed. She snorted, "y'know, if you're this shy, I'm sure I can mange."

"Just squeeze the fuckin' aloe out, Wolf."

Thena had to admit, at least this was more amusing than trying to treat this herself in her tent back at base camp. She pulled her shirt over her head and unhooked her bra with a grunt. "You sure you don't want a little peek?--for your troubles?"

Poor guy didn't even dignify her teasing with a response.

Didn't have to; his ears were bright pink.

Thena smiled to herself (since his eyes were closed, and all). She accepted his warm, damp cloth first, pressing it to her shoulder, "sorry, I'll give you a break."

He just sighed, moving closer with the disinfectant.

[softquietsteadylove]

I just read the little ballerina and boxer one and wanted to ask you if you can continue it. Maybe Gil showing up to one of her shows and invites her to dinner afterwards. And of course, he brought a single flower, because one flower says more than a thousand.

Hugs and much love! 🖤✨

"Bye Miss Thena!"

"Goodnight, girls," Thena bid her little goslings goodbye, the young women flitting out of the dressing room and already laughing about the cast party about to take place. Everyone was on their way for it, and as the newest troupe of performers making their debut, they would be the toast of things.

Thena was just looking forward to going home and getting some hard earned rest. Then, she could finally wake up to her normal life again. No more rehearsals, no more gruelling days of endless practise. She could go to the studio again.

She could see Gilgamesh again.

She hated to admit it, but she had missed even just seeing him in the hallway deeply over the past two weeks. The most intensive rehearsals required full commitment and attention, and that meant leaving classes to Sersi while she was chained up in the Eternal Theatre all day and most of the night.

She never used to think of it that way before.

But she missed the less pressured atmosphere of teaching classes with Sersi. She liked keeping a more normal schedule. She liked getting to see Gil's big, bright smile and his cute little wave in the mornings.

Thena groaned, running her fingers through her hair and throwing her scarf around her neck. She could torture herself more with those thoughts when she was home, preferably sinking into a hot bubble bath.

"Uh, sorry," he poked his head in with a sheepish smile, "door was open, so..."

Thena blinked as he walked in, one hand behind his back and the other in his brushed back hair. He looked rather dashing in a suit. "Gil?"

"Hey," he smiled at her, and the ache in her feet faded from her mind. "You were...wow."

Thena gulped, feeling her cheeks flood with warmth. She looked down, not-so-accidentally burying her nose in her scarf. "You're sweet."

"Well, you were, though," he shrugged, stepping in a little closer. He looked around him, seeing the many, many bouquets of flowers set around the counters. "But I guess you knew that."

Thena looked at the bundles of mostly red roses and arranged bouquets, shrugging at them. "It's a standard practise on the last night. Not all of them are for me, mind you."

"So a good number of them are?" he raised a brow, and she offered a more sheepish smile. He blushed, rocking back on his heels as he pulled out his hidden hand. "It's no bouquet, but-"

Thena gasped. It was a rose - singular - white in colour, clipped of thorns and leaves, bare stemmed save for a shimmering green ribbon tied in a bow around it.

Gil handed it over to her delicately accepting hands, his shyness showing through as he looked everywhere but at her. "I figured you'd get plenty, so maybe this would stand out...or something. And they offered me a white ribbon to match it. But I saw the green one and i-it matched the colour of your eyes, so I chose that one instead."

Thena's eyes were wide, bouncing between the flower in her hands and the beautiful man presenting it to her.

"I don't-"

"It's perfect!"

It wasn't the first time their words overlapped, and once again, Thena felt as if she was saying far too much within the two word sentence. But she pulled the flower as close to her as she dared, not wanting to rustle a single petal. It really was perfect, just like the gifter.

Gil flushed red to his ears, his laugh bubbling out of him. "O-Oh, good! I, well, uh-"

Thena looked up at him again from sniffing the rose gently. It was sweeter than any of the nameless, faceless bouquets around her from nameless, faceless people. "Gil?"

He tugged at his tie, clearly unused to it. "I was wondering...if - maybe - you'd, uh, wanna get dinner--sometime! Doesn't have to be tonight--you probably have a party, or something, with-"

"I'm free."

It was quieter than she thought it would be, but somehow she just couldn't get the air to stay in her lungs.

Gil looked surprised by her interruption, but he clearly didn't mind at all. He smiled, a sureness - a confidence - falling over him as he stepped closer still. He reached out, pulling her hair out of her scarf and fanning it out behind her. "I never get to see you with your hair loose."

Thena's eyes fluttered closed as he used the proximity as an excuse to kiss her forehead.

Then the flirtatious smirk faded against the brightness of his usual megawatt smile. "It's cute!"

Thena reached for her purse hung over the back of one of the chairs, hoping that maybe her blushing would subside a little (somehow, in the three seconds it took her to do it). "Well, where were you thinking of going?"

"I guess wherever you want to go," he shrugged, happily claiming her hand in his as they started to walk out of the dressing room. "I don't know if you want a big, huge meal or if something lighter would be better."

Thena laughed faintly, feeling his fingers squeezing tighter around hers. "If I had another show tomorrow I'd suggest something quite light. But I'm free as of tonight, so maybe something richer than usual wouldn't be the end of the world."

"If that's the case, I know this great Korean barbecue place."

"Sounds-" Thena startled as the backstage door slammed open.

"Miss Thena, are you coming to--oh!"

"Don't interrupt, didn't you see her boyfriend looking for her earlier?"

"Yeah, they probably have a date planned!"

The door closed again but the damage was done. Thena sighed; she was going to kill her little goslings for this.
