[OOC] "Okay, This Looks Bad."

[El Taco Taco]

I am utter Clintasha trash, but BuckyNat is definitely a close second. And then BlackPepper....swoon.

BruceNat is just....no. no.

[Blue Demon]

BruceNat just had no weight, no build up. Now if they went the whole BruceTony route....

I'd prefer BlackPepper over this weird Nat x Darcy fanfic I read once.

[El Taco Taco]

BruceTony would have been gr8.

Darcy gets shipped with the strangest people. Why is DarcyLoki so popular??? And DarcySteve??? :| I just...I don't get it. JaneDarcy is p adorable tho.

I'm sold on SamSteve tho. OTP: AmericanAirlines *A*

[Blue Demon]

I totes got sold on SamRhodey. Man I didn't buy it at first but at the end I was going down with that ship.

I'm not a huge Loki fan. The whole "he's just misunderstood" thing grates on my nerves. 616 Loki I can tolerate though. I'm digging his move to the God of Stories. But stop shipping MCU Loki with Clint for the love of all that is holy. Ajkjiknh

[El Taco Taco]

I hadn't considered SamRhodey...oh my. I could get on board with that.

Loki would be nowhere near as popular as he is if he weren't played by Hiddleston. Fandom will forgive pretty white boys for anything. Ward proved that. Bleh.

I mean, I like mcu Loki as a villain, and Huddleston was gr8, I just get squicked out by shipping him with characters. And shipping him with Clint is just so, so awful and gross. Gdi fandom, stop being such fucksticks.

I do groove on past LokiSif tension tho.

[Blue Demon]

I could get on board with that.

@El Taco Taco

Yesss. Come over to the dark side.

I also have seen people pull off Bucky x Rhodey. It was a side paring in a stony fic but man was that author good at getting you on that ship too.

Ward. Blegh. He's why I don't watch AoS. I just hate his character and all the attention the show lavishes on him? Make me want to vomit.

[El Taco Taco]

Link me to delicious fic, I need it. -Grabby hands-
I've been super into a series called Son of a Spider. AU where itty bitty Matt Murdock meets Natasha instead of Stick and omg. OMG. I love it. It ruined me. So fucking precious

Yeah. I'm in the same boat. Like...he is unequivocally a shitty dude. HE IS THE WORST. And that point flies over fandoms head...uhhhhbsksjsjwos.

Also, all this love for Hydra makes me really uncomfortable. Like, again, great villains and all, but hearing people actually shout Heil Hydra in the meatworld...grossssssss.

@El Taco Taco

Might take me a while. I no longer have it hot linked. But when I find it again, I'll link you up.

grossssssss.

@El Taco Taco

I think this sums up everything perfectly.

Found it. There was (un)surprisingly a lack of Bucky/Rhodey fics that made my search a quick one

[El Taco Taco]

Sure, I could probably kill them all, but the paperwork would be such a bitch...

[El Taco Taco]

"Don't you recognise me?"

[Blue Demon]

@El Taco TacoIs that actually you? If so... that's freaking awesome.

Have you seen CA:CW? Because I have so many Barton feels now and not one of them good. D:

[El Taco Taco]

Indeedilidoo! I went to an amazing photoshoot this weekend. If I can get my props fixed, I'm doing another one as Nat on the 21st, and then a twisted fairy tale themed one on the 22nd.
This Winter Soldier cosplayer is SO GOOD. Like, her sad Bucky eyes were heart wrenching aahhhhh I love her. We're hoping to do more fight scenes and some BuckyNat at the next shoot ♡♡♡

YES OMG. I AM STILL NOT OKAY. OMG OMG. AAHHHHHH

[El Taco Taco]

If you're interested, this is my cosplay page.

[Blue Demon]

Then you are an amazing cosplayer. A++
I wish I could do that... but I hate sewing. It's possible I wish someone else would make me clothes so I could play dress up in them. Haha.

I actually feel good about the movie. Barton's the only thing that pisses me off. WTF did they do to his characterization? I'm still fuming. D:<

[El Taco Taco]

UwU you're too kind.

I didn't actually sew this catsuit, although I'm ordering swatches for a new one. I got talked into cosplaying Siryn, so that's two catsuit I need to sew now...why do I do this to myself

My friend commissions her cosplay, she cannot be trusted with a needle. Clumsiest human being alive

I've only seen it once, but I didn't really get that feel. What's up? I need more meta and critique to keep in mind for my next viewing

[Blue Demon]

UwU you're too kind.

@El Taco Taco

Just calling it like I see it. XD But now I know your face so if I randomly see you, I'll cry out Taco. <3

@El Taco Taco

Uggg.

Alright. Disclaimer first. Hawkeye/Barton was typically been sidelined/shoe horned into a 1D character. Mainly because of his lack of screen time. There have been other things about him that are not 100% accurate but over all I feel the movies had been true to character. Until CA:CW with AoU being the best for his characterization.

What CW got wrong that really bugged me? Clint blame shifting. Clint's the type of person who might do things without thinking but he always accepts responsibility for his action. It might be in a roundabout manner, but it's there. He also doesn't go out of his way to intentionally hurt people he cares about in a malicious manner nor does he derive glee from doing so. Case in point? On the Raft when he talks (or more like verbally shreds) Tony. He pins the blame of his actions (I believe 100% that Clint knew what he was getting into when he accepted Cap's plea for help. I believe he thought his actions through with at least Laura and decided the risks were worth it) all on Tony. Somehow Tony was to blame for everything that happened to Clint. It left me going ???? Because Clint might be unintentionally cruel, but never malicious. Did you hear the pleasure he got out of that conversation? It pissed me off because it was so un-Clint-like. Now in the MCU Tony and Clint were not friends (in the same way Cap and Tony were not friends. I get that.) but Clint would never do that to someone he even marginally liked.

And the fact that Sam (of all people????) was the voice of reason on the raft irritated me. Because Sam (who I also have issues with) has never meet Tony and allowed the media to dictate his belief about the man ("Even if he wanted to help us, would the accords let him?" EVEN IF? Sam, sweetie, Tony would die for Cap. And Cap, listening to someone who never even meet Tony dictate his would be actions? Shame on you. Shaaaame.) Clint should have been the one who helped Tony and Sam should have been the one all butt hurt over everything. Because lets face it, that'd be keeping true to characterization.

/end rant

Over all I thought the movie was excellent though. It ended on a nice point and left me wanting Nomad and the Secret Avengers. <3

[El Taco Taco]

I have read all this and, unless we manage to adopt a dog today, I'll be seeing CW again this evening. I will return with a wall of text soon!

[Blue Demon]

A doogie! Awwww.

I probably wont be seeing CW until it comes out on DVD so if I was completely wrong in my knee jerk reaction, do let me know. ;) Because I'm still pissed off that they did that to Clint. (My baby!)

[El Taco Taco]

My roomies dog needs a playmate and we finally bullied my husband into okaying this. Bwehehehehe.

I actually got the opposite feel, that Clint was like, dead on, so expect massive rambles of thoughts and feels as soon as i rewatch it ♡ in casual Natasha cosplay once again bc I am god damn trash

[Blue Demon]

Name it Pizza Dog. I dare you.

I felt Clint was good, except for that one scene. :\ He still needs a solo movie. Though did you hear the rumors that Nat might be getting a solo? If it's true, I'm 100% on board with that. (And Clint totally needs to at least Cameo)

Pictures? Hahaha.
