doot doot saving this post for fancy OOC headers and such.

So where abouts are we starting this again?

[El Taco Taco]

Post Fury's Big Week, maybe a week or so before Captain America's been found in the ice? We could incorporate that into our RP as it happens. So, by this point, the Bifrost has yet to be repaired, severely limiting travel between Asgard and Earth.

[Rosalind]

So would Sif and Thor be in Asgard still?

[El Taco Taco]

Yep!

[El Taco Taco]

I'm trying to get you a Thor post as soon as I can! Sorry about the delay.

[Rosalind]

I'll post after that.

[El Taco Taco]

@Rosalind! I am so sorry for the delay on this post. I ended up rewriting this a few times, then scouring through a small mountain of fanfiction and rewatching Thor 1 and 2 again to try and get a better sense for how to write Thor. I really wanted to get this right. I'm not sure if I have, BUT I at least feel like I'm going in the right direction.

Please pardon the little touch of godmode at the end-- I figure Sif and Heimdall were well overdue for a chat. If you'd like me to change it, don't hesitate to tell me. c:

I'm still 100000% excited with this game and, again, I'm really sorry for making you wait. >.<

[Rosalind]

OK I am really struggling. I only know the films, I don't know the comics so haven't got a clue how or what to post.

[El Taco Taco]

No worries! MCU is totally sufficient.
The cinematic universe has a wiki over here with decent articles on characters and history.

I'm not sure if it's canon in MCU, but traditionally Clint is deaf and learned archery in a circus (can you tell his backstory was written over forty years ago? P: ) he and his brother joined after running from a drunk dad.
This has a really well written Clint, a blend of the movies and modern comics--a little more of a shmuck than the movies show, but nails his humanity perfectly.

We Were Emergencies by gyzym on AO3 is an *amazingly* well written Clintasha fic that develops his movie character--it's also incredibly filthy, thus why I didn't link it. The characterization is absolutely flawless, but it is a long read. And like, so porny. But it delves into how Clint's possession would be psychologically scarring and, gah, it's just so good.

Sif is more steeped in myth, so you have all that to draw from. I really like how she's written here. This author does such a good job of writing the ladies of MCU, haha! Her piece on Maria Hill is the single greatest interpretation of her character ever. All her pieces stick strictly to MCU canon.

Sif's wikipedia and MCU wiki pages have really good information on her character, and I nodded to her and Heimdall being siblings in my post. You are free to pick and choose whatever canon you fancy, it's cool. :)

Mostly, I just read tons of fanfiction, some meta on tumblr and rewatched the films. From there, it's just kind of going crazy with it. It's Marvel, it's all weird and kind of silly, whatevsies.
