Just something I'm doing for fun :P
I like reading, drawing and writing so those are probably the stuff you'll find here.
Things I like: Doctor Who, Wings of Fire, dragons in general
I also do wings of fire art sometimes :D
i firmly believe that one of the reasons tumblr latched onto project hail mary so hard is because we're all so obsessed with the dead wife trope lately and grace is his own dead wife. half of the book/film is grace experiencing a dead wife montage about himself and that's beautiful to me
last song: Love like you from Steven Universe. I haven't actually watched the show but the song popped up in my autoplay and it's nice
currently watching: Nothing. I just finished La La Land yesterday and I have nothing to watch since I'm kind of bored of movies and shows right now, or at least I haven't found anything interesting. But also I'm always watching some 12th doctor episodes from Doctor Who on the side, so that I guess.
Currently reading: Inheritance by Christopher Paolini, almost done with my inheritance cycle reread. And Paper Towns by John Green.
current obsession: Doctor who???? As always. and La La Land is on loop since I just watched it and I can't get the songs out of my head.
last search: tumblr. I use the website not the app since I just never downloaded it and it's been fine
favorite flowers: i know like -5 flowers, but I guess red roses are something I've always liked because that was just my favorite as a kid. And also night jasmines because they smell really nice!
In case you're wondering who this is supposed to be, it's the wof sona of a very mysterious obscure puppet from an old ahh tv show whose name I won't write here because I'm too embarrassed about it. You know, favorite character stuff
mudwing doodle because ive been struggling to get them quite right ...
i think i figured it out!!
some references i vaguely used to help me figure out a realistic approach to getting the head shape right
in order: postosuchus skull, revueltosaurus skull, revueltosaurus reconstruction, chelandina skull
i used ancient distant relatives of crocodilians as well as a wide-skulled gorgonopsid since that group of animals has the rectangular skull shape closest to the MudWings
and the crocodylomorph references were because of the alligator/crocodilian influence that MudWings have
Jeff Ward confirming that there was a scrapped scene planned in the Agents of SHIELD finale for Deke where someone would enter a SHIELD base and approach a turned chair which has the SHIELD logo on the back. An agent walking up says “Director” and the chair would spin to reveal Deke wearing an eyepatch.
It was also confirmed that there would be nothing wrong with Deke’s vision.
I have decided that in honor of Disability Pride Month, I will be making one post daily about my favorite disabled characters.
Starting today with one of my favorites, Philip J. Coulson AKA Phil AKA Coulson from the MCU. I will chronicle his journey until his disability (only until because it’s a looooong journey. Watch Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. for more) and then how he deals with it after.
Phil’s first appearance was in Iron Man (2008), where he repeatedly tried to talk to Tony Stark about his Iron Man suit and eventually attempted to help Pepper Potts in arresting Obadiah Stane. He also helped create an alibi for Tony Stark for a press conference (which Tony completely ignored)
but we see him in flashbacks even earlier in Captain Marvel (2019) working alongside Agent Nick Fury (soon to be head of S.H.I.E.L.D.), as he tries to track down a mysterious alien woman who crashed through a Block Buster. He also lies about seeing Agent Fury in the stairwell and allows Fury and Captain Marvel to get away from the agents chasing them.
His next appearance is in Iron Man 2, where he supervises a drunk Tony Stark and gives him the means to create a new element to save Tony’s own life. He then leaves after a call about an 084 (object of unknown origin) in New Mexico.
In the Marvel One Shot, ‘A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thor’s Hammer’, he saves a young cashier in a truck stop from a bunch of robbers using a bag of flour.
He then appears in Thor (2011) as the S.H.I.E.L.D. officer in charge of Thor’s Hammer. He seizes Jane Foster’s equipment, but later gives it back after Thor destroys the Destroyer with the Hammer. Thor calls him ‘Son of Coul’.
In the Marvel On Shot, ‘The Asset’, Coulson conspires with Jasper Sitwell to make sure that General Ross doesn’t allow the Abomination to join the Avengers by sending Tony Stark to annoy him.
He then appears in The Avengers (2012) in the fight against Loki, but Loki stabs him and he dies of his wounds (or does he). His ‘death’ inspires the Avengers to band together and defeat Loki (with some manipulation from Fury of course).
His journey then continues in the show ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (2013-2020). The show was originally created to satisfy fans who wanted more MCU between movies, but quickly because an entity of its own. (The show was also created in response to fans refusing to accept Coulson’s death in The Avengers.)
As explained in Agents of Shield (season one), Nick Fury was unable to handle Coulson’s death, so he used Project T.A.H.I.T.I., which was to be used in the event of a fallen Avenger. In a later conversation, Fury explained the Coulson was an Avenger, which is why he was put through the process. T.A.H.I.T.I. brought Coulson back to life, but erased his memory because the trauma of being brought back would’ve driven him insane.
He was then given his own team:
Two Specialists; Agent Grant Ward
and Agent Melinda May.
A Doctor, Agent Jemma Simmons
and a Technician, Agent Leopold Fitz.
They later picked up Skye, a computer hacker who worked for the Rising Tide (a rebel organization) but soon decided to stay with the team.
They go on missions and fight evil until the events of Captain America and the Winter Soldier (2014) where it is revealed that Grant Ward is a Hydra double agent.
The team (sans Ward) erases their identities and continues S.H.I.E.L.D. at Nick Fury’s orders, with Coulson as Director.
In season two of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Coulson has to deal with a lot. There is another faction of S.H.I.E.L.D. going by the moniker ‘The real S.H.I.E.L.D.’ led by Robert Gonzolez. A few of Coulson’s trusted team members ended up being a part of this faction. After much fighting and drama, they eventually reconcile and create a new S.H.I.E.L.D. together.
He also has to deal with a new ‘threat’ called inhumans. Inhumans are born as regular people but are then put through ‘Terrigenesis’ and gain unique abilities. Terrigenesis is a process which includes Terrigen crystals, a type of crystal that is fatal to human touch, but when broken, creates a mist that turns anyone who touches it into a stone statue. If the person is human, they die immediately, but if they are inhuman, they then gain their unique power.
At the end of season two, the team ends up on ‘The Real S.H.I.E.L.D.’s base which is a boat. The inhumans plan to unleash the Terrigen mist into the air ducts, effectively killing every human on board. They end up in the room where there is access to the entire ventilation system. They kill the inhuman trying to put the plot into action but in doing so, he drops the Terrigen crystal he is holding. Coulson, in a heroic move, leaps to catch it before it can turn to mist and kill everyone. However, since he is human, his arm starts to turn to stone. He is effectively dying. Agent Alphonso ‘Mack’ Mackenzie says ‘nope not today’ and amputates his arm on the spot with an axe.
Coulson is obviously disappointed about this, but Leo Fitz designs a state of the art prosthetic hand for him.
He later gets a more realistic prosthetic after leaving his old one on an alien planet after killing his mortal enemy, Grant Ward with it.
It has all kinds of cool updates, and functions like a computer.
It also has a shield, as Coulson puts it ‘I thought the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. should have a shield.’ He saves Melinda May with said shield twice, sharing a kiss with her the second time.
It’s stated that Coulson has several different prosthetics throughout the show, including a ‘civvy arm’ for everyday use with no bells nor whistles.
Phil Coulson deals with a lot more in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., including androids, aliens, and time travel. Go watch Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. for more!
Happy Disability Pride Month to Phil Coulson, arm amputee!
