All the Things Friday: All of Your Favorite Things!  
You know that old song from "Sound of music"? Goes something like.... these are some of my favorite things? Sort of? Yeah? How about we do that here, today?

In other words, my beloved bar, I'm inviting you to free-for-all, polite anarchy, post all your favorite Clint/Natasha things, discuss them, and flail about them! Favorite movie moment, favorite quotes, favorite pics or gifs (and gif wars, yes please). favorite fic you read and favorite thing you've written yourself, videos, artwork, something else? One thing, many things, or as many favorites you can think of! Favorite theme, cliche or trope used in fic? favorite kind of AU? favorite genre? Anything goes, as long as it's good fun. :)

Or, just hop in and have a good time, because it's Friday and we're in the best bar ever and drinks are cold and ready to be served with a side of crack and good jokes. Also, we can do prompts and comment fics and discussions (deep discussions, shallow discussions)... as long as it's one big party!

Aaaaanddd, just one more suggestion before we kick this off. Can we keep things in separate threads? You know, a thread for picspam, a thread for discussion.... etc... if a thread you'd like to see isn't there just start it and invite people over.

Ready, set, GO!

Re: Avengers 2 news
But sometimes that pain can be great. Not always. But sometimes.

Re: Avengers 2 news
Can someone sum it up for me, because the damn article won't load here. LOL.

Re: Avengers 2 news
Basically, Joss is nearly done writing Avengers 2 and it's going to be full of pain and heartbreak and angst.

Re: Avengers 2 news
Ah! .... did he ever consider writing fanfiction?

I am deciding I will not think about this until the movie is out. *nods*

Re: Avengers 2 news
Thing is, I usually love what he does to an extend that I can’t be mad at him for killing off one of my favourite ships or something along those lines.

I haven't forgiven him for Wash. One day...

Yep... that sounds like Joss. *headdesk*

Re: Avengers 2 news
Exactly. It's like every episode of Firefly. First episode was like Avengers 1...here are some characters, here's a little backstory, here are some feels, here's some action. Now. For the next episodes, I will break my viewer down into puddles, slowly, intimately, in every way they fear.

Re: Avengers 2 news
As long as he doesn't kill anyone off, which he shouldn't be allowed to, because JOSS YOU CAN'T KILL OFF AVENGERS! YOU JUST CAN'T.

(There are plenty ways to kill everyone with angst and feels without inflicting death on anyone.)

Re: Avengers 2 news
I mean. I don't even...I hope not. Because it hurts to think about. I need to go get a hot chocolate and read some fluff now.

Re: Avengers 2 news
I grew up with Joss Whedon's stuff, which has probably contributed to me being really blase about character death. Don't get me wrong, I don't want my favourite characters to be killed off, but when it happens my reaction, after the initial horror, is usually "eh, if it serves the story..."

I think Joss is normally pretty good about having character deaths that serve the story and treat the characters with respect than having it happen for shock value. Joyce's death on Buffy is a good example, and I think Wash and Book's deaths worked too. The two deaths that made me really angry were Tara and Fred, because they were such Women in Refrigerators moments.

Re: Avengers 2 news
Yes! And whenever you thought there was a little bit of hope (Inara: "There’s something I should have done a long while ago. And I’m sorry for both of us that it took me this long.") your little shipper heart would get whacked again (Inara: "I’m leaving."). But I can't help it; I love most things he's done.

Re: Avengers 2 news
THIS. Oh man. Oh man. Joss...don't do it. Do what the fandom did: decide that Bobbi came before Clint/Natasha, give us some Budapest like banter, and more Banner and Tony and Steve angst and I'll be a happy girl. EVERYONE STAYS ALIVE AND SHIPPABLE OKAY?

(I don't remember who posted it but at some point, someone was like "The fight scene in this Clintasha fic was inspired by River Tam's fight scene in Serenity" and I almost couldn't read it because I was too busy flailing in excitement.)

Re: Avengers 2 news
*side-eyes Whedon*

I swear, if he kills any of the comics-original characters...

(er, possibly I mean that seriously. Am not a Whedon fan, and I really do not want him to go all Whedon-y on the sequel. Sigh.)

Re: Avengers 2 news
Let's hope there's a limit to his Whedon-ness because of studios or whoever, JUST DON'T LET HIM RUIN IT ALL DAMMIT.

Re: Avengers 2 news
I've known Joss for years-since the start of Buffy.

And his big thing? The thing he really, really loves to do? Is make the fans suffer. He's not afraid to kill people off. He's not afraid to do things against general convention or "what society thinks is okay". He also isn't afraid to make his female characters strong and kick-ass. I just wish there were more of them in the Avengers 'verse.
