Thank you all!!

[sandy79]

First things first - thank you all so much for the wonderful birthday messages that filled my inbox (both here and on LJ) today. I felt very much loved by you all, and my heart is still trying to calm down from the joy you brought to me. Once again, thank you all so much for them; every message will be saved and treasured for eternity, promise!

But what kind of birthday gal would I be if I wouldn't share a bit of "virtual" birthday cake with you all? I didn't get most of it explicit today, but it all came together just right on time.

A) A Meme, snagged from daria234 (among others)

Fandoms: White Collar, MCU, SPN, NCIS LA, Magnificent Seven (the TV show, not the movies), Leverage, Rizzoli & Isles, Lethal Weapon (only Season 1), Lucifer (only Season 1), Almost Human, Star Trek Reboot

Give me a show/movie/fandom and I’ll tell you:

- my favorite female character
- my favorite male character
- my otp
- my ot3
- my rare pair
- my anti otp
- my favorite pair of enemies/rivals/antagonists
- my favorite cast member
- a character I’d die defending
- a character I just can’t sympathize with
- a character I grew to love


B) Two new pics from Matt's latest Todd Snyder campaign (plus one new favorite; click on the thumbs to see them full-size)




C) Some new Avengers: Infinity War posters (that you might have seen already; click on the thumbs to see them full-size)



Red (Tony Stark, Dr. Stephen Strange, Wong, Peter Parker)
Yellow (Wanda Maximoff, Vision, Sam Wilson, James Rhodes)
Green (Natasha Romanoff, T'Challa, Bruce Banner, Okoye)
Purple (Thor, Peter Quill, Gamora, Rocket, Groot, Drax)
Blue (Steve Rogers, Bucky Barnes, Shuri, Nebula, Mantis)

Guess which one is my favorite out of these five? XD Though I gotta say, Chris Hemsworth looks mighty fine as Thor, too. Now, all this gal needs is a physical proof that my favorite archer is also part of this intergalactical "party", and I'm a very camper. Alas, there's more to come about Infinity War, but I have to sort through it first. So be prepared!

Meme answers, part I

[sandy79.livejournal.com]

why yes, it is!! XD For the meme, I give you the answer I just wrote for daria over on DW, who asked for the same fandom (hope that's okay)

- my favorite female character

Natasha, ever since her first appearance in "Iron Man 2", she's the ultimate badass woman in the MCU, but I wish they would finally show us a bit more about her past in the Red Room beside the flashback scenes we got in "Age Of Ultron" (or finally solve the mystery about the Budapest mission ;) )

- my favorite male character

Ever since I saw "The Avengers" back a few years, Clint Barton (as I seem to continue my apparent "thing" for archers XD), but recently, he's got to make some room for the man with the most tragic story in the MCU ever - James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes. Can't really explain why he never showed up on my radar before, but now he's here, and I like to think he's gonna stay.

- my otp

Het: Clint Barton/Natasha Romanoff, from "The Avengers" on. And while I also love Clint & Laura's interactions in "Age Of Ultron", I slightly prefer our two spies together (but there's a wonderful ongoing collection of stories with a triad of Clint, Laura & Tash on AO3)

Slash: Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes. These two were skirting my reading premises for some time, but like with Bucky himself, they only made it into the yard recently, so to speak. And while I read pretty much everything with these two, I slightly prefer AUs (something that's going on across all my fandoms).

- my ot3

Again, a two-way answer ;)

a) Clint/Laura/Natasha - mostly for the reason that we get to see Natasha letting her guard down a bit whenever she's on the Barton farm, but also because you would expect some jealousy or rivalry between the two women, but you get some wonderful conversations as well as some steamy make-out scenes.

b) Clint/Bucky/Natasha - I know, a bit surprising considering my slash OTP, but there's a collection on AO3 where Clint and Tash already live together (Clint is a delicious mixture of the MCU Clint and the guy from the comics), then they meet Bucky, and voilà, a very funny, and very sexy threesome is the result.

- my rare pair

Bucky/Natasha: Given their history (at some point, they apparently met in the Red Room), it's one of the most interesting pairings out there. Can they start again, or is their violent shared past too much to handle? And does Bucky even remember her, at all? (in the comics, they were a couple at some point)

I love Natasha and Clint too! Him having a family always seemed a little off to me.. I've always liked these two together.
