things that happened today - kid got rescued coming down a slide and then went down the slide again without needing to be rescued and looked So Proud of himself - somebody pooped in the pool and my coworker Owen said he'd also poop in the pool if it meant they close the pool for the day. big -_- face to Owen
- I was standing in the kitchen and I said Sweet Caroline and Brian-Kun across the house said Womp Womp Womp - got to say hi to my friend bc I picked Brian-Kun up from work and she was aiding and abetting him in working and she told me she has a paper due in thirty minutes that she hasn't started yet and I said That Is So Relatable
- I made soup for dinner so I'll have soup for lunch - laid down on my tummy on the floor and My niece came over and laid down in front of me and pushed her forehead up against mine so I said "Is this not better? Is this not your natural state?" bc not too long ago laying on her tummy was all she did so she said "yeah. Little rest. Eden take a nap. Cozy?"
- I was playing TBOI with this new character called Judas that I just unlocked and he's pretty cool and beat the boss rush room with him and also M/m's Heart but then my computer c r a s h e d and I don't even know if it saved my progress with Judas bc Steam needs Brian-Kun to log into his Steam account to make sure I still have access to the game
bc I mooched it off of him but now I don't know if my run saved!! it was the same run!!! that I beat both the boss room and M/m's Heart!!!!! and if it didn't save that means I have to start a l l o v e r
not smth that happened today but the Niece Thing reminded me of this back on Ventrnatr when I was dressed up as Loki I mentioned to Barium that Racket might give me a log for a Thanksgiving present from the tree that fell on our p@r3nt's roof and then I would burn it for Yule
Barium thought I said "Burn it for you" so she said "for me???" and I said no for y u l e which sounds you like "you all" if you say it in my accent so she said "for a l l of us?" She actually pulled the "for you, for all of us" while I was dressed as Loki and she didn't even understand why that triggered the fandom flashbacks
for real though Racket might give me a log from the tree that broke my p@r3nt's roof I would take it back with me in my suitcase and burn it in our home Texan Oak That'd be amazing symbolism
So you wanna always start with Iron Man 1 Then Iron Man 2 Thor 1 Captain America: The First Avenger you can skip Hulk, I haven't seen it so it doesn't matter. if you basically know the idea of the Hulk all you need to know is that this Government Guy named Thaddeus Ross tries to kill the Hulk in that movie
at that point you'll be able to understand most of my fanfictions Disclaimer right now I will not ask you to read those. If you want to, I do have recommendations but if you do not want to I am entirely indifferent as to whether you do or not. I am completely content if you just listen to me ramble about my writing, feel free to never read it.
anyway after phase one you watch Iron Man 3 then Thor: Dark World Captain America: Winter Soldier Ant Man Avengers Age Of Ultron (Not because it's worth watching but because a) Thor's in it and b) the way the Avengers' dynamic as a whole is in Civil War makes no sense without the context of Wanda Messing With Everyone's Brains and that happens in AoU)
Then Civil War not because the team dynamic makes any sense but because of Bucky exclusively Bucky he's the only redeeming factor in that train wreck of a movie but goodness he is a redeeming factor
Then there's Spiderman Homecoming? everyone loves that one but I don't you might like it, so I will recommend it but I think it is simply Meh Spiderman isn't my thing and Tony Stark pretends to be a f@th3r figure in that one and we all know I don't vibe well with that but Spiderman is a fan favorite
then Thor: Ragnarok (that one was my favorite movie for a l o n g time) Black Panther and if you get that far you can watch Guardians 1 and 2 before Infinity War and then Captain Marvel and then Endgame I have major beef with all three of those last ones and after that the only one I would Actually Recommend is Black Widow
and while I would not say it is a movie I like, Thor: Love and Thunder has a beautiful characterization of Thor so I do consider it canon up until the last scene which I duly hate
and I will want you now: my thoughts on the MCU can be summed up with the phrase "I said I liked them. I didn't say they were good" bc for the most part the writing sucks and the characters are butchered and the sfx are sad and the plots don't make sense I like the MCU for what it could be not what it is
*warn oh and if you turn out liking Bucky, Falcon and the Winter Soldier is Kinda Good? if you turn out like Loki, Loki show Absolutely Sucks Like horrible like it's The Worst you can watch it but like don't if you get what I mean
if you want Actually Good Marvel Content, Stop at the end of Phase One watch the Spiderverse Movies Read the comics that's it that's the good quality stuff
