SEBASTIAN STAN as BUCKY BARNES Thunderbolts* dir. Jake Schreier

I’ve got some ideas for the series I’m still toying with - maybe have them actually fuck on the Raft like I’d initially planned haha, or maybe have them go on that date - potentially with some mayhem or metal arm shenanigans included! It felt more “right” to change the series to complete, but I’ve been having such a blast with these two I’m not sure I can stay away forever 😉🤩

YOU ARE ALL SUPER SWEET.  EVERYONE HAS BEEN SUPER SWEET. I LOVE YOU ALL.  ♥ I was going to just leave it at that because, eh, what else is there to say? I’m not going to change their mind, they’re not going to change mine.  But I suppose I gotta be honest in that I do kind of want to give a more serious response, even if I’m not really sure if the anon was serious in the first place or just trying to get a rise out of me with a trolling message or what. So much of it comes down to that I’d just said everything I had in me for awhile, because I wrote over 350 posts in my TDW blogging series and AOU had some fun moments but didn’t really inspire me/Thor’s part of the story wasn’t that big. I just did not have much of anything new to say and there was no new movie material to say new things about!  I’d explored what we had of the background worldbuilding, I’d explored what I had to say about the characters and the relationships, I’d explored so many scenarios of What Ifs?, I’d just run my course for the time being. Now we have a new movie, there’s new stuff to discuss, of course I’m going to have things to say!  And it’s fine if someone feels that I abandoned the fandom by being quiet (though, I was around, you can go back through my blog and see I reblogged something literally almost every day) or it’s fine if they hated everything I had to say before so they’re mad that I’m back.  But they don’t have to read my posts.  They can use tumblr savior to blacklist my name or, if they’re on mobile, I’m sure they’ve had to learn how to scroll. It’s just how fandom often works--we get inspired when there’s something new to catch our attention and talk about.  Sometimes old flames get revived.  The idea that that should be embarrassing is genuinely baffling to me, why would that be something so terrible?  If you don’t find my commentary relevant, well, fair enough, you do you, there are plenty of people out there talking about the movie that you can interact with instead!  But embarrassed about having a new movie to flail over Thor about?  (And Loki, too, because I love that nerd so much, you guys!!)  Bzuh?  I just cannot wrap my mind around the idea of how you’re either obligated to remain consistent in talking about a fandom (on your own blog!) OR you have to shut up forever after that. And I’m certainly not going to follow it.  I love Thor and I appreciate all the kind words people have had for the character as well, it’s been really wonderful to see so much enthusiasm (or so much kind-hearted “well, I didn’t enjoy it, but I’m happy for those who did”) and it’s infectious!  I’d have come back around to flail anyway, but all of you (everyone who commented or tagged something or sent me a message, YOU ARE ALL WONDERFUL, you’re the ones I want to share a fandom with and am so glad we’re all still here, whether we hare off sometimes to return later or what!) have made it so much better. I love Thor and this movie gave me a lot that I had feelings about and I want to discuss it with all of you OF COURSE I’M GOING TO WRITE A RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF TALKING AND I’M GOING TO READ ALL OF YOUR GUYS’ STUFF AND JUST BE REALLY HAPPY, THANK YOU.  ♥ But also, lol, that my queue has kept posting the meta posts I scheduled while I was writing this, that’s perfect.
