ATTF: Natasha Romanov Appreciation Day  
So today was supposed to be the day our favourite ex-Russian spy got her own stand-alone film. But, because of Things, we'll have to wait until November 6th for that pleasure, so we decided that instead we'd have a Natasha Romanov Appreciation Day to celebrate everything Black Widow.



So! What was it that drew you to the character? What made you stick around? Did you first meet her in The Avengers (2012)? Or Tales of Suspense #52 (1964)? Was is Phil Noto's beautiful art that grabbed you in Black Widow (2014)? Or Kelly Sue DeConnick's interpretation for the Avengers comics in 2012? Or simply Scarlett Johansson kicking ass in Iron Man 2?

If you have favourite fanart, share it! (Tumblr links will get reblogged to our Tumblr so more people can find them) If you have a favourite fic, rec it! Have a headcanon? We're all ears! Was there something about her direction in the MCU that you were unsure of but turned out well, or was at least fixed by some excellent fan content? Or do you simply have Very Strong Opinions on what her best hairstyle is? We want to know all these things!

I've prepared some fill-in-the-blanks statements to get people started, but feel free to share whatever springs to mind! We're a friendly bunch and we love chatting about our faves. :D




(from here)

Please remember though, the rules of the comm apply.

1) Always label NSFW (Not Safe For Work) stuff in the title and post under a cut.
2) Fic and artwork needs to have a rating and warnings (or you can say that you’ve chosen not to use warnings).
3) For people with annoying internet connections, say in the title if a comment is graphic/images/gif-heavy and post picspams under a cut.
4) Have a good time! (Because if that’s not happening then this post has clearly failed.)

All days are the same right now. It's just ... Day.

And yes, the post-recalibration scene. I may have replayed this a few times, once I uploaded Avengers on my computer... *ahem*

I still consider it a crime against fandom that Whedon took all that chemistry, all that caring between these two, and blew it just because he felt like thwarting expectations. Or something.

And it was chemistry that *he* laid the foundation for! Like, did he not notice? ISTG, people should just call one of the really good romance writers whenever they have a love story that's pivotal to a plot, because they know how to deliver the angst AND the payoff AND how to subvert the trope and still make it right, sigh. (Not that I'm not still bitter about Buffy/Angel or anything.)

It really was the Most Baffling decision. I mean, even people who don't care about fandom, who'd only seen the film once and could barely remember the character names still went to me, "but we're they dating?" went I'd occasionally bring it up. Like, that is a thing that happened to me.
