Natasha Romanoff.

(I didn’t intend for there to be so many trigger warnings but I got carried away with the headcanons 🥲)

how i think these characters would get jealous…

— 𝓣ony 𝓢tark :: tony likes to think he isn’t jealous person. he’s a billionaire, playboy, philanthropist— why would he possibly have anything to be jealous about? but my god, he’s one of the most jealous men you know. the second he sees someone flirting with you, he’ll immediately insert himself into the conversation, sliding an arm around your waist and making sarcastic little jokes and backhanded compliments to the poor person. he’ll insist he’s not jealous, but somehow his arm gets tighter around you every time they make you laugh.

— 𝓢teve 𝓡ogers :: steve will do everything in his power to be mature about someone flirting with you. he trusts you completely, so he’ll try to ignore the little pang of jealousy, but he can’t help himself from hovering nearby. he’ll go quiet, watching from across the room before eventually wandering over and casually asking if everything’s okay. he’ll insist he wasn’t checking up on you, but somehow he’ll stay right by your side for the rest of the conversation.

— 𝓝atasha 𝓡omanoff :: natasha would never admit she’s jealous. she’s far too controlled for that. instead, she’ll quietly watch from across the room, studying the person flirting with you with an unreadable expression. eventually, she’ll walk over, slip an arm around your waist and offer them a polite smile that somehow feels like a warning. she won’t say anything outright, but the message is crystal clear: you’re wasting your time.

— 𝓛oki 𝓛aufeyson :: loki is jealous in the most insufferably offended way possible. he’s genuinely disgusted by the fact you could find any man attractive who isn’t him. he’ll saunter over when someone’s flirting with you, rest his hand against your lower back and make increasingly sarcastic remarks until they finally leave. he’ll watch them go with a look of pure disdain before turning to you, completely baffled. “What horrid taste you have,” he’ll mutter, as though the real problem is your questionable judgement rather than his jealousy.

— 𝓑ucky 𝓑arnes :: bucky goes completely silent when he’s jealous. he doesn’t interrupt or make a scene, but he’ll watch from across the room, jaw tightening slightly whenever the person makes you laugh. eventually he’ll wonder over and stand beside you, his hand settling against your waist as he gives the person a dirty look. he won’t say much, but once they leave, he’ll mutter something about how he “didn’t like the guy” as if that explains everything.

— 𝓦anda 𝓜aximoff :: wanda initially tries ignore the jealousy, giving a poor attempt at pretending she’s interested in whatever conversation she’s having whilst stealing subtle glances at the person flirting with you. eventually, curiosity gets the better of her and she’ll quietly read their mind, just to make sure she actually has a reason to be jealous. once she confirms they’re interested in you, she’ll wander over and casually join the conversation, standing a little closer to you than necessary and making it very clear who you’re with.

— 𝓑ruce 𝓑anner :: bruce tries to convince himself he’s imagining things. he’ll notice somebody flirting with you and immediately tell himself they’re probably just being friendly, getting awkwardly quiet as he watches from nearby. he’ll try to focus on whatever he’s doing, but will accidentally reveal just how bothered he is by making some nervous little comment about how the guy seems “very interested” in you. the second the words leave his mouth, he’ll realise he’s given himself away and awkwardly try to backtrack.

— 𝓢cott 𝓛ang :: scott doesn’t actually realise he’s jealous until someone else points it out, to which he’ll immediately scoff and insist he isn’t. he’ll wonder over anyway, casually inserting himself into the conversation with some painfully unfunny joke aimed at you and the person flirting. when they leave, he will watch them for a moment before turning back to you, completely oblivious to the fact that jealousy was written all over his face.

— 𝓟eter 𝓟arker :: peter would try so hard to act like he isn’t jealous, but he’s terrible at hiding it. he’ll awkwardly hover nearby, pretending to be interested in whatever’s happening around him whilst repeatedly glancing over at you. eventually, he’ll wander over and start rambling about something completely random, clearly trying to interrupt the conversation without actually admitting why.

Obviously I loved it!!!! So so so so much!!!!!

Steven is always characterized by his love of egyptology (which I adore) but after a few hundred fics it starts to feel one dimensional

So why not expand on his nerdiness and make him really into movies and the technical work behind practical effects

And to keep it on theme, the specific movies he watches are always about some sort of ancient civilization exploration, or historical inspired films, or simply hint towards something egyptian-esque

Marc/Jake/Steven - Bisexual but preferences change a lot between alters. Steven definitely prefers women, I think Marc secretly leans towards men and Jake does not give a fuck he is probably pan.

Badr - AroAce! I feel there's a lot of history of aroace people joining priesthoods to have an excuse not to marry and he feels parallel to that. I see him as a little sex repulsed too. He's far more interested in history & medicine.

Reese - Lesbian, she is a lesbian I will die on this hill. Evidence? What my heart tells me. The wind whispered it to me. Khonshu gave me a vision himself. I just can't picture her being interested in a man.

Soldier - Unlabelled. He was in far-right groups, he definitely hasn't had time to explore his sexuality yet. I doubt he was ever truly homophobic, but definitely dragged into those macho masculinity circles and probably didn't question some of the rhetoric until he left & covered his tattoos. I could see him being aroace honestly! The way he's so dedicated to helping the mission & Marc, I see that being his first priority over relationships regardless of attraction.

8 Ball - Gay to me, but quite closeted about it. I think he was very unsure in his sexuality as part of his overall insecurity before he joined the Mission. He's also older, grew up around some less accepting ideals probably. I think seeing the Mission be openly queer is making him more open about it.
