the whole "lipstick on a pig" thing makes no sense because the second we gave a pig access to makeup she became god's cuntiest soldier

Spin this wheel first and then this wheel second to generate the title of a YA fantasy novel!

(If the second wheel lands on an option ending with a plus sign, spin it again)

Share what you got!

'he would not fucking say that' maybe he would if he knew he was starring in his very own porn fic for the sole purpose of delighting some freaks on archive of our own dot org. maybe he'd play it up for the cameras. ever consider that

love that there was no scene in Thunderbolts where everyone debates saving Bob. there is no question that that man is out of his depth despite creating a crater in a mountain and surviving a hail of bullets. the wettest of wet cat men

seeing yelena being embarrassed by her father picking her up in front of her new friends made me happy that she can still have pivotal childhood memories as an adult

[tracing-lines-in-the-infinite]

I keep thinking about the fact that Bucky first met Bob as Sentry!Bob and then got ... taken apart by him and then saw him as The Void but, later in the void-world, still decided that what he'd heard about him from Yelena and the others and what he had come to know about Bob was enough for him to become protective and save Bob from the void because thats exactly who Bucky is at his core!

He will protect the ~tiny guy and he will be the grumpy old uncle and I love that we finally get to see him as such again!

just imagine bob getting kidnapped

Kidnapper, on the phone: I've kidnapped Bob. Bail will be €10000-".

Bucky: Oh no. DON'T HURT HIM. DO YOU HEAR ME??

Kidnapper: I won't hurt Bob if you pay the-

Bucky: Shut the fuck up BOB CAN YOU HEAR ME???? DO NOT HURT HIM!

Kidnapper, now sweating: what

[tracing-lines-in-the-infinite]

Going from “bob is looking at their memories and is going to use them against each character later” to “omg bob saw those memories and realised he’s not alone at all and there are other people in the world who he could actually relate to” was wild coz I didn’t expect it until I was already crying.

and if I said the Thunderbolts are more of a family than the Avengers were

[tracing-lines-in-the-infinite]

Still not over Bucky dropping "Your wife left you and took your baby" so casually in front of everyone and the look John and Yelena shared when she realizes it's all a facade to later, when she is so pissed and hurt, using that information to lash out at him

Wild

no because it’s really really important to me that in a world where we’re so used to the heroes punching and shooting their way to victory, thunderbolts* went out of its way to show us that the void is still very much a part of bob, and bob is their friend, so they’re going to accept every facet of who he is and give him a soft place to land, even if that means they’ll have to be the ones to pull him back from the darkness every single time. because that’s what friends family will do for each other, no questions asked.

[tracing-lines-in-the-infinite]

Bob giving up control of his life to the physical embodiment of his depression and then beating himself up over it and the void just becoming more powerful as a result is such a perfect metaphor. like yeah, that's exactly how it is, you can't beat depression with self-loathing, you need support and purpose and the people you love and loves you. they pulled it off beautifully

[tracing-lines-in-the-infinite]

tower fics are so back baby

[tracing-lines-in-the-infinite]

thunderbolts as a concept is hilarious to me lmfao like imagine your DAD is a part of your friend group

[tracing-lines-in-the-infinite]

I would be the worst spy of all time because on one hand I overshare like hell, but on the other hand I also have THE shittiest memory so it’s really a lose/lose scenario for everyone involved.

death of the author yeah whatever but death of the fandom is so integral to enjoying legitimately anything like that is just a necessary step to take in ur head always. do not let them affect the text in any way exterminate them all with ur death ray. they r not real and cannot hurt u
