Come say hi :)

[snickfic]

Yo, this is a post to say hi and introduce yourself. What parts of the cosmic MCU do you like? If you are looking for new friends, on DW or elsewhere, feel free to mention that, too.

Oh hey! I've been describing my interest in the MCU as "all of the characters who have been in space," so this comm is very exciting.

I adore the Guardians crew, and especially Rocket and Nebula, my emotionally damaged, closed-off, body-horror backstory faves. I have also become a big fan Thor and the entire Revengers crew thanks to Ragnarok. And Thor's friendship with Rocket was one of my top favorite things about Infinity War. RABBIT.

My other favorite thing about IW was Peter, Tony, and Strange's adventures in spaaaace. Peter and Tony are probably my top two characters in the MCU, and it turns out what I needed to start really loving Strange was him calling Tony a douche-bag. Who knew? So that whole everything was great for me.

I write a bit, read a bit, like to chat all things fandom a lot. Just making the move to DW, so definitely looking for friends here. The more the merrier, especially if you want to talk MCU!

I agree, Thor and Rocket were perfect together. RABBIT AND TREE.

[learnedfoot]

Right? It never would have occurred to me to want to see them interact, and now I'm like "I swear if this next movie does not give me several Thor + Rocket scenes..."

[lynnenne]

They are destined to be BFFs forever. DESTINED, I tell you!

AWESOME. Welcome!! Gosh, GotG is so good if you want traumatic backstories full of body horror. Have you read that one Nebula fic by paperclipbitch? It's amazing.

Thor and the entire Revengers crew

My faaaaaaves.

what I needed to start really loving Strange was him calling Tony a douche-bag. Who knew?

RIGHT? I felt the same. That's when I started shipping it, lol.

Ohhh, I have not, but I will go seek it out this weekend! I haven't really read much GOTG fic, TBH, but I'm ready to start.

RIGHT? I felt the same. That's when I started shipping it, lol.

That's when my interest in the ship was piqued, too! I don't actively ship it because they don't have the canon closeness I need to really latch onto a ship, but I remain open to the idea. Shippy or not, I love the clashing egos so much.

I also really enjoyed Strange's cameo in Ragnarok. I would be so down to have him randomly pop up in lots of movies for just long enough to make a few snarky comments and send our heroes where they need to go.

The Nebula fic is here. It's flipping amazing, but also pretty intense - mind the warnings. And there's some really fun GotG fic out there! Although never as much as I'd like, because I mostly want rarepairs and team gen. >.>

I've liked Strange so much better in other people's movies than in his own movie! My hope is that Dr. Strange 2 will be better, now that we've gotten his origin story out of the way.

[learnedfoot]

Ohh, thank you! *bookmarks*

And yeah, I have so many gen Guardians (slash Guardians-meeting-other-characters) desires. I'm thinking of requesting a bunch of combos for Chocolatebox!

I agree that Strange 2 might be a lot better now that it's not an origin. I see why they felt the need to do an origin for him -- because his stuff is so different from everything else from the MCU and we as the audience needed an introduction to how it works -- but I'm excited to see what they do now that they have more room to play. His powers have the potential for some really cool plots if they do it right.

Your GOTG feelings are my feelings as well. I'm all over Rocket and Nebula's trauma and really twisted coping and body horror-ness.

[learnedfoot]

Right?! They are just so good. (And it helps that I have a soft spot for both actors because of prior work. That's not why I like the characters, but it makes me happy that they're both playing characters that really work for me.)
