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.)

Why I love Natasha Romanov:

Because she's not only a badass woman, but also kind of a pick-me-up when the real-life struggles get too much. Given her past, Natasha never really had it easy, but still, she pushes through whatever problem is in front of her and comes out stronger on the other side. If that's not a motivator to do the same ;)

What first drew me to the character:

Her whole being, to be honest. Nat is, like others have said already, a woman who doesn't take shit from anyone. Plus, there's so much I still don't know about her (despite having read her bio on marvel.com), that you probably could fill a whole book or two with stories about these "missing" things.

Favourite scene in the MCU:

A tie between these two scenes, both from the Avengers

Favourite look:

Civil War, with that wonderful waves in her hair, but like others here already have pointed out, every look is a stunning look

Favourite fight scene:

Iron Man 2 - hands down. The way she turns into a one-woman-army and takes down all of Hammer's security personnel is just the kind of awesome that only Natasha Romanov can deliver.

Second place goes to her initial scene in "The Avengers", not only for the way she takes down that slimy Russian Mob boss and his henchmen, but also for the perfectly timed interloping with Coulson listening to her doing so via her handy.

Favourite line:

"I don't see how that's a party" ("The Avengers")
"I wouldn't stress about it" (to Scott in "Civil War")
"Is that dirty enough for you?" ("Iron Man 2")
"Bye-bye bikinis." ("The Winter Soldier")
"We're still friends, right?" (while fighting Clint in "Civil War")
"Either one of you know where the Smithsonian is? I'm here to pick up a fossil." ("The Winter Soldier")
"Did I step on your moment?" ("The Winter Soldier")

among sooooo many others XD it's also about the way ScarJo delivers them

Favourite comic book appearance:

Haven't read any comics so far (only snippets)

Favourite Clint/Natasha fic: Instead of naming names here, I just leave you the link to my bookmarks for this couple ;) Though I gotta say, CloudAtlas has such a wonderful way of writing these two (or three when teamed up with Bucky)

Bookmarks

Favourite alternate pairing fic:

All that have Bucky/Nat, but I also have read good ones where she's paired with Steve, Sam, Pepper or Maria Hill. But let's be real, every story with Nat in the character list is a good one (in my opinion). Again, I'll leave you a link to my bookmarks ;)
