Kraglin surveys the hold again, just in case he’d mis-estimated the volume of the contents. Nope, doesn’t look like he had.

Not even Peter needs this many toys. Nobody needs this many toys. Civilized planets, maybe? Naw. Sounds fake.

1- Song of the year?

Like I have Just One Song. In the last two weeks: most plays and most feelings

4- Movie of the year?

Ok, Baby Driver for most views and most fanfics written. But The Shape Of Water just happened to me and fam. I’ve got feelings. So The Shape of Water is probably THE movie of the year, with Baby Driver as a second. And Atomic Blonde as third. (Sorry, Thor.)

9- Best month for you this year?

I went to a national LGBT conference on company dime and got paid to be there. Met some really cool people and was invigorated as a person. Also, Halloween.

I swear I didn’t forget these.

After he came out of the ice, after the battle of New York, after SHIELD settled him down with an apartment and a therapist, after his 6am/6mile jogs became a things, he started painting. Relentlessly putting down every image that he’d ever held in his mind. Excising them to live on paper and canvas.

There are hundreds of these paintings. Some a sketch of a vision, some rendered as with love. Most are one offs. Some have two or five or ten, each a little different.

Having the money to live the dream does not mean the dream is easy to live. He can spend money like water, but tainted water once caused him to nearly vomit himself to death.

He grows potatoes in buckets by the windows. He spends money for the good slips and grow lights.

There is the way things are, and the way they could be. It is important to know these things when disregarding what is considered impossible by everyone else.

Same gives Steve an endless amount of shit. It makes him feel human and alive and normal and he gives Sam opportunities.

awyis

Remy was never supposed to be a patched Warrior. He was just a kid (he still is). He dropped out of school pretty early bc he’s maybe-queer and has a learning disability and he could make a little money doing art. And then Snow basically adopted him to keep him off the streets.

Snow likes plants of all kinds a lot- his window is full of plants and he’s made a special rack so they can all get some light.

The Warriors run a protection racket around the edges of their territory. They also trade in stolen goods.

Ajax would have been War Chief instead of Swan if he wasn’t so dumb. Instead, Snow is next in line.

If I can make the timelines align, they know about the get down scene up in the Bronx. Snow has maybe even traveled up there because Snow is the music guy and that’s the kind of thing he likes to keep his eye on. (This is why Cleon believes in Cyrus. Snow told him about the factions coming together in the Zulu nation). (it never would have worked because economic/territorial sovereignty)

During their run, they leave their fallen brothers behind because going back to save someone is the kind of heroics that results in more losses. Once they have the high ground again, they’ll strategize on how to get people out of jail, get the bodies back, and/or how to exact revenge.

I don’t think a lot about the Scarlet Witch? I fell off the marvel bandwagon after tws quite frankly. Let’s see what I can do

She never volunteered. Pietro never volunteered. They were given a no-choice option. Sometimes she thinks they should have chosen a swift death. Sometimes she thinks that the opportunity to do good in the world makes up for it.

Being an experiment and a tool has aged her. Behind her eyes are many dreams. She is waiting.

She is afraid. For all Hydra tried to make her controllable, a weapon to be aimed and fired like the Winter Soldier, she was too unreliable for field use. She is afraid of being unreliable, of being dangerous.

Little did she know that all it would take was positive reinforcement.

Little did she know that her powers could heal. People only seem to see her mistakes.

She does not understand what “only a child” means. Her brother is dead. Her country is destroyed. Her people are persecuted. Childhood is a luxury. She has never been so wealthy.
