ATTF: Comm Annibirthday Party!  
This weekend is our community's annibirthday - we are 8 years old! It's amazing to think how long this wonderfully positive corner of fandom has been squeeing over the Avengers, how many things we've created, all of the prompathons and secret santa exchanges, all the discussions of the twists and turns of Clint and Natasha in the MCU, and that we still have new people that join and familiar faces that stick around. That's all thanks to you lovely lot; whenever you joined us, whatever squee you bring, you are all wonderful, you make this space what it is, and we wish you all a very happy annibirthday <3

As is traditional, we're celebrating with a good old fashioned community friending meme party! A great chance to say hi if you're new, if you've not been around for a while, if you've been lurking, and if you just fancy a party. Feel free to friend the comm, each other on DW or elsewhere, or just chat here - no pressure, just fun.

Copy and paste the below to get started, feel free to add extra info about yourself if you'd like, and let's get chatting in the comments :)



Things to remember:
1) NO ENDGAME SPOILERS
2) Always label NSFW (Not Safe For Work) stuff in the title and post under a cut.
3) Fic and artwork needs to have a rating and warnings (or you can say that you’ve chosen not to use warnings).
4) For people with annoying internet connections, say in the title if a comment is graphic/images/gif-heavy and post picspams under a cut.
5) Have a damn good time! (Because if that’s not happening then this post has clearly failed.)

Happy birthday con!!! I'm so glad I've found you!


Your DW / online handles / where people can find you:
on tumblr also at paperairplanesopenwindows or twitter at thesararenee!

MCU, comics, or all the things?
All the things, but def more into MCU than the comics.

The last Marvel thing you watched or read?
My roommate and I finally got caught up on AOS for the final season.

List some of your favourite Marvel characters/stories other than Clint and Natasha:
uh the entire cast of Agents of SHIELD? Seriously, it's the relationships between that group that keeps me coming back.

You're in charge of the timeline/titles for the next set of Marvel films and TV shows post-Endgame (or the current announced run). What do you announce? What characters/plotlines can we look forward to seeing?
uhhhhh i don't know enough comics for this. I'd bring back Agent Carter I guess? And a Kate Bishop show?

Other fandoms you're currently into:
Star Wars EU kinda?

What're some of your favourite things you love to see in fic/creative works?
M U T U A L P I N I N G
I also really really love tropey non powered aus

Give us 3 sentences or a teaser of something creative, fic or otherwise, that you’re working on:
I'm working on some more ot3 fic (as always) and the fic for the remix exchange. And I'm also working on a personal project that's a movie script that's a queer retelling of classic literature that I'm really hoping to finish and do something with.

What Marvel merchandise do you wish existed, or what's your favourite fan thing you own?
listen i'm just waiting for those new Black Widow loungefly bags to drop, where are they????
i own sooooooo much marvel merch that I adore, but to spotlight one, the little build a bear Black Widow bear they made a few years ago goes to every Marvel movie because I'm a crier and I usually need to hug something.

During lockdowns there have been conventions, panels, talk shows, bitesize added content (looking at you, Doctor Who and Good Omens), musesum and zoo tours, theatre shows, and all sorts of things online/made digital. If you could ask for anything online relevant to our interests, with the only limitation being that all participants must take part from their own homes, what would it be?
would it be to much to ask for a virtual clintasha or marvel convention? lol

Same!!

THERE IS A BLACK WIDOW BUILD-A-BEAR???? Photo please!!!
paperairplanesopenwindows[personal profile] paperairplanesopenwindows on May 9th, 2020 06:22 pm (UTC)
ok so it was a "mega mini bear", not a full build a bear. I have a personal theory that a full build a bear will come out for the movie since they're released MCU tie ins before!
alphaflyer[personal profile] alphaflyer on May 9th, 2020 06:36 pm (UTC)
He's adorable! <3
paperairplanesopenwindows[personal profile] paperairplanesopenwindows on May 9th, 2020 06:49 pm (UTC)
I know I love her!!! There was a whole avengers bear line at the time.
alphaflyer[personal profile] alphaflyer on May 9th, 2020 07:06 pm (UTC)
WHOOPS. I meant to say "she"... (sheepish face). My bear is a boy, so that's my default... :P
paperairplanesopenwindows[personal profile] paperairplanesopenwindows on May 9th, 2020 07:34 pm (UTC)
i just assumed it was a typo so no worries!
[personal profile] alistra on May 9th, 2020 02:59 pm (UTC)
Kate Bishop is basically the premise of the already announced Hawkeye miniseries, isn't it? I'm sure I read that somewhere.

JOIN ME IN CAPSLOCKING EXCITEMENT!

Also all in for the virtual convention!
paperairplanesopenwindows[personal profile] paperairplanesopenwindows on May 9th, 2020 06:24 pm (UTC)
I think so? I'm not sure what's going on with that series, but I'm excited for any and all Hawkeye content.

I didn't get to go to my usual convention this year, so I'd love any virtual ones!
bettybackintheday[personal profile] bettybackintheday on May 9th, 2020 06:20 pm (UTC)
Virtual Clintasha convention? Yes, please.
Also, thanks for the AOS reminder. Gotta get a refresher, too. They almost lost me last season, but I feel the need to see this through to the end.

I'm here for the characters and their relationships and I'll just....deal with whatever plots they choose lol
alphaflyer[personal profile] alphaflyer on May 9th, 2020 07:08 pm (UTC)
They lost me halfway through Season 2. Does it get any better?
paperairplanesopenwindows[personal profile] paperairplanesopenwindows on May 10th, 2020 08:03 pm (UTC)
Plotwise they aren't always there (i think they generally have really good concepts, but not always the ability to pull them off), but I really love the characters and their relationships and how they grow together. What lost you if you don't mind me asking?
alphaflyer[personal profile] alphaflyer on May 10th, 2020 08:56 pm (UTC)
What lost me was precisely the increasingly ludicrous plot developments. I think that whole Inhumans/terrigen (sp?) crystal angle was just too much. It also didn't help that I moved to the Netherlands after Season 2 ended and had to go to considerable lengths to find and watch it.
paperairplanesopenwindows[personal profile] paperairplanesopenwindows on May 10th, 2020 09:17 pm (UTC)
......yeah you wouldn't like "We traveled 80 years into the future and met our own grandchild" then lmao.
alphaflyer[personal profile] alphaflyer on May 10th, 2020 09:48 pm (UTC)
I don't actually mind time travel (heck, I've written it and some of fave Trek episodes involve it). But I'd have preferred it if they'd kept Ward around as an evil Hydra dude, instead of going all 'everyone-turns-into-evil-sludge'.
paperairplanesopenwindows[personal profile] paperairplanesopenwindows on May 10th, 2020 11:28 pm (UTC)
ah gotcha. Ward does return a lot (he's the main villain for season 3 which is maybe my favorite season), but the inhumans are the main focus through about season 4.
