We’re watching Captain America 2: Winter Soldier right now and I’m just getting all kinds of feels. I’ve grown so fond of Bucky in general and I love the relationship between him and Steve. Marvel has made a lot of mistakes (alright, they’ve done a lot of things I think are mistakes), but they’ve done an amazing thing with their portrayal of these two shits. God, with you to the end of the line??? Ugh so emotional. Like honestly, why do they have to make me cry about stupid boys? It’s very upsetting.
I mentioned writing more Avengers fanfic so of course I have writer’s block now. But that’s okay, I just have to keep writing and the words will eventually come. I think a lot of this “block” is that the list of prompts in the BigDamnTable is so along. There are fifty of them. I’ve seven now, I do believe. I really want to write more Darcy/Natasha. I love Darcy/Clint and Natasha/Clint and let’s be real—I have about 8 million ships sailing on the Avengers’ Ocean. So many, many ships in so many, many different ways.
One I definitely don’t ship is Natasha/Bruce. That was just weird. Sorry. Maybe it was just that actors didn’t—in my opinion—have that kind of chemistry. I thought they had great friendship chemistry but romantic? No. And I hate that they keep pushing Natasha around as a romantic interest. The way they treat her in Winter Soldier is perfect in my opinion. She’s Steve’s bro, she’s sarcastic, she’s brave, she’s stubborn, she’s smart, she’s vulnerable… like oh my God. Everyone should write her the way they wrote her in Winter Soldier.
