SOMEONE ELSE WROTE ME WANDA FINDING HERSELF (with a side order of Wanda/Natasha)

I'm watching Fort Boyard.

Like every time I want worldbuilding. It is such a fascinating thing to contemplate worldbuilding for, though! I think I liked it a bit better when there was less worldbuilding on the show, just "here are some immortal tiger headed people with really weird challenges WHO NEVER SPEAK" and what not. (Oh, hey, I could nominate it for yuletide. Note to self: nominate Maîtres des ténèbres, Félindra, Blanche and Rouge in "Fort Boyard" for yuletide.)

Also, I would have loved to be a fly on the wall when the idea for the show got pitched. "Let's refurbish a 19th century sea prison by turning each cell into a gameshow challenge, have candidates collect actual gold coins and do acrobatics in mid-air over live tigers. The tigers are not negotiable."

I edited the post I made about my Great Britain trip this August. (Short version: car no, England yes, still looking for recs.) Basically, I am learning that I know fuck-all about planning month-long trips on my own*. It's starting to take some sort of reasonable form? Maybe? Sort of?

Anyway. Anyone in Great Britain during august want to have a meet-up?


* Look, I can barely manage to motivate myself to go to the Louvre tomorrow, because I haveto go before the crowds and that means waking up early. I want to see the exhibit, but I don't wanna wake up, I am so tired lately. (I'm doing some stuff that takes a lot of time -- I get home ~9PM if I'm lucky --  plus there are emotional upheavals, it's fun times.) I don't wanna anwser that PM even though I should, I don't wanna go the Louvre even though I know I'll love it, I just wanna sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep forever but I cannot. :(

(I am having way too much fun translating French movie titles back into English. Is this what being a Babel fish feels like?)

Anyway, I saw Age of Ultron with a group of fannish friends yesterday.

The version I saw is the 2D VOSTFR one (if there are differences between the versions different countries got, the way there was for Winter Soldier, I saw the French version). As usual, I can't speak for any other versions.

Short version: I was entertained, but I have some reservations.

( Long version )

So there you have it, those are my thoughts on Age of Ultron.

Most of the conversation I had with the fandom folk revolved around the movie, but we did talk about some other things, like ongoing fandom events and dead Romans. Me and one of the fandom folk have taken to texting each other whenever we spot dead Romans in the wild, it's great fun.

Taken from traincat: sum up every chapter of every story you've written in two lines of script!

( Fic on my ao3 account )

( As for my WIPs... )

tl;dr: loads and loads of comics.

I've been planning to see Avengers since it came out on April 25. I was originally supposed to see it on the following saturday, the next tuesday and the saturday after that. It didn't work out so well. Each of the people I had plans with cancelled on me at least once and up to five times (five times). It was always for good reasons too, so I can't really blame them, but it's still kind of ridiculous.

I guess it'll make a funny story one day.

( Spoilers Assemble )

tl;dr: IT WAS AWESOME! but I wish there'd been more women.

Also, I got the promotional comic for free. Note to Panini: Episode 5 of Young Avengers: the Children's Crusade is not a good tie-in comic for the movie or even a good gateway to Marvel comics, as it opens with way too many not-introduced characters hitting each other in the face.
