@allofthefeelings and I would like to present our new literary theory, “The Author Can Go Fuck Himself”. We’re coming for you, Russo brothers.

[alexeishostakoff]

Bucky and Nat supporting aroace Yelena's journey to realize she can use her body for whatever she wants, and not anything she doesn't, whether that means killing (no thanks, Yelena's still on board for that) or sex (that one she's maybe reconsidering)

oh absolutely!! tbh yelena...never really used her body for sex? but it was still hard for her to like realize that she didn’t have to, especially when she sees natasha, the black widow she has always wanted to be, flirt and charm her way through mission after mission. bucky and nat would be just so caring and willing to listen when she needed to talk through it, and 100% supportive on everything, and yelena doesn’t want to admit it but god she loves them for it

WAIT BACK THE FUCK UP WE MIGHT GET MING WITH BABY YODA???????

OH SHIT YOU DIDN’T KNOW??? She’s supposed to show up somewhere in the middle of the series. And since we just got ep 4 of 8, it should be soon!

Now I'm trying to remember what fandom I met you in originally and my brain doesn't go back that far? Like I can think of several fandoms we've shared, but.

It’s harder for me to remember how I found people on LJ. It feels like another life. I feel like a lot of the people I followed really early on were Buffy people, even though I never actually wrote for it, and you were just always around as a person who actually talked about femslash without treating it as a cute side accessory. I think I was reading your thoughts on things well before I followed you, though, and I couldn’t begin to guess when that was exactly or when you followed back.

I'm not that anon, but seriously, your fic appeared when it was killing me that there was NO good fic that explored Natasha and orders and belonging AND YOU DID IT ALL WITH SOME OF MY FAVORITE TROPES. You do the world (or at lest the fandom) a great service.

Yeeeesh every time someone who I follow/whose meta or opinions I enjoy tells me they’ve enjoyed my fic, it’s a wave of “oh no the pressure”. But very flattering. Thank you.

I will never understand the lack of Natasha fic. She’s such a rich subject that it’s in fact incredibly difficult to do her justice in one simple fic. She has such well-established canonical relationships- whether positive or negative or just complex in betweens- with Fury, Clint, Steve, Tony, Pepper, Sam, Coulson... it’s endless (I remain forever pissed that I started writing the outline before Civil War came out or Rhodey & Wanda would have played bigger roles). Nat’s unambiguously the keystone member of every iteration of the Avengers and would’ve been acknowledged as such in fic and fandom if she was male. And the themes surrounding her character are just begging to be explored (and would have been! so many times! if she was male! instead of the fucking endless Tony-has-trauma-because-people-misunderstood-his-genius-and-ignored-him, I love Tony alright but goddamn it’s frustrating). Anyways post-Endgame it is difficult for me talk about anything concerning Natasha or this fic, which has somewhat developed into an unintentional rebuttal of everything Endgame stands for, without devolving into a senseless rant, but thank you I appreciate it.

IDK if it helps, but I'd argue ScarJo's still enthusiastic abt being a superhero, but out of the last three MCU movies she was in, we saw enthusiasm in IM2, Avengers, Winter Soldier, and Ultron, then she skipped the Civil War press junket, and then she's spent the past two press junkets aware she's getting fridged. Her passion for NAT has never wavered, but I think we're going to see a revival of "holy shit I'm a superhero" when she's at a press junket where she's not (A) supporting and (B) dead

Heey!Oh it definitely does! I feel that some of that enthusiasm seeped through, she was so bubbly in some of the Endgame interviews (like the ones she did with Danai). But then she was ridiculously stressed out in the ones before the premiere, of course.

It does make me happy though that she will probably get back to our level of enthusiasm when they start doing promos for BW. 

She’s been trying to get this film for so many years and honestly, it’s a huge achievement. Not only she’s getting this film but that she gets to have so much influence over it, and that it gets to be produced and directed the way that it does. 

(Which is also the reason why I find the “The new Black Widow will be the protagonist in the new BW film” ridiculous.)It does feel like a lot of that original enthusiastic approach she had to the MCU was lost somewhere in the middle. The AoU junkets were a disaster. Between people going “she should have stayed at home if she was pregnant and couldn’t do her own stunts”, dealing with sexism and then with the aftermath of Natasha’s arc in that film (and her own response to it via SNL) it’s no wonder she stayed away for years after that, especially since Natasha was pushed entirely to the sidelines by that point.

But yeah, SJ has been very steadfast in her love for Natasha and it’s a big part of the reason why I’m so excited about the BW film, even after all we’ve been through this past… month.
