imagine one day spidey is held up by the new york city police department, and he’s expecting the same old bullshit of “this stupid spider menace vigilante blah blah blah” like the cops in queens always say to him, but instead he’s met with a 30 year old brooklyn cop who is less concerned with peter being a vigilante, and is more concerned with peter’s powers. he won’t stop asking peter about his spider powers, how they work, how he got them, how he would rate them on a scale of “cool” to “toit”

and finally peter gets a word in edgewise and is like “not that this isn’t refreshing compared to the way the police usually treat me, but what kinda cop are you again??” and the cop is like “i’m actually a detective, jake peralta from the 99th precinct. anyways can you summon an army of spiders or is that just a rumor?? oh my god can you talk to them, can you ask the spiders if they like die hard??”

this is a fic i wasnt aware i needed

As soon as I read “toit”, I said “Jake Peralta” froze, and felt my soul leave my body. Thank you for this.

Another idea: I just imagine Amy tracking Spidey down with evil villain level accuracy because she wants to get his autograph for Jake for his birthday.

Okay but what if Peter and Shuri are at the Avengers Compund and Peter asks Shuri if she wants to watch a movie with him in the screening room and she says yes. So they go in and Peter turns on Star Wars and half way through the movie he jokingly says how she should make real life SW tech. She tells him to pause the movie and she walks out of the room and comes back 10 minutes later and is like “I made these when I was 11!” And pulls out 2 functioning lightsabers and hands one to Peter, who is in shock and they start running around the compound fighting with lightsabers. T’Challa is annoyed because he told Shuri to leave them at home and Tony doesn’t know if he should be impressed bc Shuri made actual lightsabers or worried that two 16 year olds are running around using ACTUAL lightsabers.

Tony: hey what do you have there

Peter n Shuri, as they run pass: lightsabers!

Tony : NO!

Okay no but real talk, this was the moment.  This was the moment in Cap 2 where I knew the Russos got Natasha.  The costuming and everything else, yes, good, on-point, but this is the first time we’ve really seen the Black Widow at her most terrifying.  Tony touches on it, certainly, in IM2 – she’s a double, triple imposter; she’s figuring him out, keeping an eye on him (does he need help?  Does he need to be taken down?) while disarming him by being the kind of woman he’d bed and discard, has a hundred times…but those weren’t weaponized moments, they were strategic.  But on the Lumerian Star, we see Natasha in action in much the same way we see Steve in action, sliding easily from one performance to the other.  The first is that of watching Steve for cracks that might appear – trying to set him up, trying to keep him in a world he’s very clearly denying, not unlike what she was sent to do with Tony.  And the second (which, notably, is a version of herself she shuts her comm off before producing) is this: deadly, dangerous, and terrifying; playing the role that was placed on her as an insult, a joke, and that she reclaimed as an honor and a horror story against the people that tried to make her a monster.

Because this is what Age of Ultron got wrong.  We already know damn well that Natasha is competent; that’s never been a question.  But TWS is the first time we begin to see the underpinnings of that competency: where they come from; what they cost her.  The Red Room tried to make Natasha into a weapon – they tried to take her body, her sexuality, her agency away from her; tried to make her the “femme fatale” in every stereotypical sense of the term.  The Black Widow title was meant to be very much literal: no man could resist her, much less survive her (to paraphrase Bucky in 616).  But Natasha saw that; she always understood that.  And Natasha was always more than they believed of her.  She took the training; she took the mantle.  She took the pain and the suffering and the torment that created the Widow, and she took the rage that came with having the name made into a joke, a pejorative at her expense, the “whore-slut-spy” she never was.  It’s the same reason Bucky remains the Winter Soldier, despite the fact that his life and body was taken from him in its creation.  Because the Soldier, like the Widow, is a legend.  And legends are valuable; legends don’t die.  Legends grow, and they transform, and they become bigger, and scarier, and more terrifying than any one human being can become.

Natasha Romanoff never believed herself to be any of the things the Red Room reduced her to.  But the Red Room gave her a weapon that they couldn’t take away; that they never had control of, for all of their arrogance in believing they did.  

This is Natasha Romanoff, Black Widow.  But it’s also Natasha Romanoff, the survivor.  She knows what they say about her – and as long as she knows who she is; as long as she knows she’s worth more than the pejoratives, the slurs, and the attempts to cage her in…well, then those things, those things are only a weakness to them.  

Legends are so often warnings, after all.

“[Okoye] is an extremely proud Wakandan. She’s very proud of her people, her country, and her heritage. She is a traditionalist. She is rooted in what is, what has been done, how we do things as Wakandans. How we have done things, and how that must be preserved. […] She can be serious, but she also has an unexpected sense of humor. She has a heart for her country and for her people.” – Danai Gurira
