Yes, Steve kisses Tony when he comes home. In front of their whole team. He watches him stumble weakly off the spaceship, feels how frail he is in Steve’s arms, and--and so much time has past. So much time. The worst could have happened--it did happen--but they’re both still here. So he just. Kisses him. 

And Tony lets him. Kisses him back, even. The worst has happened, and yes he had someone to share that grief with, but no one like this. Not a teammate, an old friend. So he allows himself to be held, and to be kissed, and to feel put together again. 

He knows they will fight. Surely, Steve does too. This isn’t forgiveness. This isn’t about healing, about moving forward. It’s a path that runs way deeper than all of that. And it feels inevitable. And it feels infinite.

It: Chapter 2 spoilers below cut (read tags for content)

I’m not sure how much of the last half of the movie I even actually saw because I was so caught up in the reveal of Richie Tozier’s sexuality (not, btw, in the book). And that visual of him as a boy, the boy we knew from the first movie who was unbearably obnoxious and made fun of his friends and told bad jokes and couldn’t shut up, having that soft moment with another boy in that arcade room, and carving “R+…” into a tree. All but confirming that he was in love with Eddie. (And then seeing him go back and recarve “R+E”). That’s canon. I saw that on screen. I could hardly catch my breath.

Then the bad part. The losing Eddie part. The being the one in the group not able to leave his body. I’m distraught. It was so well done, but i’m distraught.

TL;DR: I wept through the entire half of the movie.

Here’s an unproductive take that really doesn’t need to be entertained but I’m going to anyway. Bella’s obsession with Edward and her irrational outburst when he so much as mentions leaving her as well as the depression she undergoes when he actually does leave makes a kind of sense when you read against the grain and realize that she, at 16, has just been introduced to this new world where not only these mythological beings really exist, but immortality as well. Like, that’s kind of life changing. And her only connection to this world is through Edward. She’s not grieving for Edward, but this entire world that as it stands only he can give her access to. Kinda fucked up. 

Of course, the way it’s intended to be read, which is that she’s genuinely just in love with him, is v concerning and 13 year old girls such as myself when I read these books very much do not need to be taking in this kind of content without much understanding about love and relationships and how young age 16 actually is. So. All that can be disregarded lmao.

Was I crying on my way home from work thinking about Peter Parker’s love for Tony Stark? Yes I was, but officer I swear the other guy’s at fault

I think that, among some very, very atrocious characterization, there is also some pretty good characterization for Natasha Romanoff in the MCU. She remains one of my favorite MCU characters despite some poor writing decisions, um. I just wish there was a definitive and less jumbled transformation in her arc from the woman who had nothing to the woman who allowed herself to love the avengers while also considering some of her softer traits, her humor, etc. that exists on both sides of this transformation. It all feels very separated by the movies is all. I know it’s a god damn shame that several different (men) have written her character all with different ideas of who she is/her goals/etc. Age of Ultron can be thrown out entirely, but I think every other movie offers something interesting and complex and good about her character, I just wish it all connected better.
