I've been really sore, to the point that I'm behind on my homework and its difficult to think at points. Yesterday I was completely miserable. The worst part is that when I'm hurt/sick I really wants cuddles.
I should've taken my muscle relaxer yesterday but it completely knocks me out and I agreed to go into work today to help get people out of bed because a couple broke up and now there is drama and we're short because they don't want to work together. It's a mess.
On the upside I, for some unknown reason, decided I wanted to see Captain America.
I like Marvel. I wasn't allowed comics when I was younger because I was a girl, but my brother and I watched Xtas like crazy and I can honestly say Jubilee was the first girl I crushed on. When I hit 18 I started out with the comics and am really into Alpha Flight. I like my X-men, but I never really touched the Avengers. I have some comics that I bought when I was interested in possibly shipping Jean-Paul with Hawkeye and I still can't remember what distracted me from researching Avengers canon...I think it was Queer as Folk, but I could possibly be wrong.
So I know basic backstories on some of the chars and I figured I'd come out of the movie shipping either Bucky/Steve or Peggy/Steve, possibly both or threesome. Even though I knew how it had to end and what was going to happen.
Then Howard Stark showed up and all I could think about was how Steve's friendship with Howard would just push all of Tony's 'I have daddy-issues' buttons.
I did not go into this movie thinking I would ship Tony/Steve, but these things happen. I watched the second Iron Man movie and am looking into seeing Thor and Hulk. I was warned that Thor wasn't all that great a movie, anyone know about Hulk? I have fic ideas and I've started reading fic.
I'm also beginning to remember why starting in on a new pairing can be fustrating. For every good fic I find and I've found a few, there are so many more where the summary looks good and I start reading it and it just turns into Tony cries a lot, confesses all of his insecurities to Steve, cries some more and begs to be fixed and then I'm guessing Steve does that because I've usually bailed by that point.
Thankfully one of my co-workers is also a Marvel fan and was more than willing to let me complain about how Tony wouldn't turn into a crying ball of emotion because his coping mechanism is to put up more walls and to hide behind his facades. I mean for a moment I was worried I got it wrong, because not hugely familiar with the comic canon, but enough so that this was my impression of him. It's not that I'm opposed to Tony crying, but I think it'd take a lot for him to get to the point where he'd let himself cry. She agreed with me so...you can disagree if you'd like. I'm just starting to dip my toes in the water here so anyone elses opinions are greatly apperciated.
If you've got any good Steve/Tony fic you'd like to rec I'd be more than willing to read it.
Also apparently my current solution to every problem is to add Torchwood. So what movie cicra the 40's-60's do you think Jack Harkness would have in his personal collection?
Asking cause most of my older movie love is musicals.
