About Character Bingo, Loki And Bucky?
About character bingo, Loki and Bucky?
I'm going to assume this is MCU Loki and Bucky we're talking about, but feel free to send another ask if you have another version of them in mind.
"I'll write a small word vomit thing about them." *Proceeds to write four paragraphs.*
Bucky showed up in the MCU first, so he's first here, too. Bucky Buchanan Barnes, huh? I'll admit, in the first Captain America movie, I didn't really have much in way of opinion about him. I was in the 'they sure do exist' camp. Didn't give him much thought.
That did change, however, when he returned as the Winter Soldier. He was terrifying in Civil war, ngl. But I also thought he was kinda cool. After that, sitting on the movies for a while and rewatching them a few times, I grew a far stronger appreciation for the character. (Which was probably due to how young I was when I watched the movies initially, but let's ignore that-) Which makes the awful way the fandom and current writers treat and mischaracterize him even worse, tbh. But we're not talking about that right now-
Unrelated: Bucky gives me gender envy like mad. (I'm Boyflux, btw.)
I want to wrap him in a big fuzzy blanket and give him a hot cocoa, dude deserves some rest and tlc.
Comparing how I feel about Bucky to Loki is super unfair... to Bucky. Though honestly, it would be unfair to all Marvel characters, since Loki is my favorite. (*Insert people rolling their eyes because me liking a character that's 'popular' makes me annoying/cringe, apparently.*)
Fun fact: Loki is actually one of the first Marvel characters I was ever introduced to. Though, granted, it wasn't MCU Loki. I'm constantly rotating them in my mind like Banana.mp4 (Rotat e). I can also relate to them on a scarily close level. Like jeez, my older sibling was kicked out right before I learned about my bloody heritage from my father, too, da fuq?
Loki in the MCU is probably the most mis-characterized, and the most unabashedly hated and poorly handled character by the writers in the later phases. Which sucks, because his attempts to prove himself and feeling unworthy are exactly what made them so interesting. But it seems the writers like to mis-characterize him as being arrogant and self-centred, when they're actually the opposite in every movie before Ragnarok. *sigh*
He deserves a break, too, tbh. They both need some tlc stat.
...Y'know, they really missed an opportunity by never letting these two meet. But then again, the MCU has/had a problem with casual interactions. (I mean, Thor and Natasha barely interacted in any of the movies despite being on the same team.)

Erasing Loki won't erase me
I wrote this on Twitter and it got long:
They really hated how #Loki represented the outcasts and thus had to change him to be relatable to mainstream people instead. Strip him of everything that made him unique and punish him thoroughly in the process.
They hate us so much, they couldn't let us have one badass character we could relate to. If marginalized people feel represented, or worse empowered, by such a character, it has to be destroyed.
Just like the bullies on the schoolyard tried to beat us into normalcy, the bigots in the entertainment industry forcefully strips our beloved character of everything that made him special, everything that made him one of us.
Fuck you! We still have the original MCU Loki, and we don't forget. Some of us weren't broken by you mainstream oppression machine; we resisted on that schoolyard and we resist now.
We won't disappear because you take away our #representation. People who don't fit in will always exist; dandelions through the cracks of you asphalt, if you will. You can hurt us but you will never succeed in erasing us.

Batman Holiday special idea
Idk this just came to mind and I thought I’d share:
“The Fright before Christmas”
Basically, Scarecrow ends up discovering that Santa Claus exists during one Christmas in Gotham, and the next year, he decides to pull a Jack Skellington and steal Christmas for his own. (Depending on which version of his backstory is used, there may be a reason. Personally I like the idea of using the year one backstory and having it be some kind of ‘making up for lost time’/getting back at Santa for the lack of care for his younger self at the same time.) Though, honestly I feel it might make more sense with the BTAS versions.
He, with the help of Jervis, Riddler, and a few other rogues, takes one of the horse drawn carriages from around the city and fashions it into a carriage of fright. The carriage pulled by eight mind-controlled deer taken from the nearby wilderness.
Batman, of course, finds out about the plot. (Maybe throw in a throw away line referencing Santa’s annual little visit to Apokolips as well.) He tries to stop it, but he can’t seem to figure out who would be organizing it, that is until he finally realizes Scarecrow’s the ringleader of the plot.
This all culminates in a climax involving Scarecrow and a few others in the carriage, riding around Gotham and throwing small boxes full of fear gas and miscellaneous rogue fixings as they go (Poison ivy having boxes full of fast-growing plants, Riddler’s boxes being mini riddler traps that shock you if you don’t answer correctly, etc.). With Batman hot on their tails trying to catch them and avoiding their attempts to stop him. In the end, they end up being taken in, but Scarecrow is given some mail from the outside, sure enough, Santa decided to give him a piece of coal. Petty, but not undeserved.
Idk, the idea came to mind and I couldn’t get the thought of a Scarecrow costume fashioned after Santa’s suit out of my head. ...That and the thought of Jonathan singing ‘What’s this?’ from Nightmare before Christmas. (And the batman rogues gallery singing ‘Making Christmas’.)
Entomophobia (Marvel imagine)
Y/N and Thor are playing video games in the living room, with Loki in the kitchen making some tea. Everything is perfectly peaceful and fine... until Loki is suddenly assaulted with the sound of both men screaming at the top of their lungs. Seriously, it sounds like one of them just got their arm chopped off or something.
Loki immediately runs in, “What’s going on?! Are you alright?!” To find Y/N in Thor’s arms, like a Scooby Doo cartoon, Thor standing on a chair on the opposite side of the room.
“What’s going on?!” Y/N yells in a panic. “We almost got attacked by a beast, that’s what’s going on!”
“Beast?” Loki looks around, nothing seeming out of place. “...Where?”
“Are you blind?!”
“How can you not see it brother, It’s right there!” The two point at the coffee table in the middle of the room. Loki looks over to see... a praying mantis sitting on a magazine.
Loki raises an eyebrow. “What? This little thing?”
“Little?!” Thor and Y/N say in unison.
“That... thing is anything but ‘little’!”
“Thor’s right, that thing is massive!” Loki sighs. He wasn’t expecting Y/N to be this bothered with bugs, but growing up with Thor has made him more or less desensitized to the ‘horror’.
“Alright, just let me-” He picks up another of the magazines and rolls it up.
“Wait, no!” Loki looks up at Y/N and Thor, who give him pleading eyes. “...Please don’t kill it.” Loki groans in annoyance, but complies anyway.
He puts his hand down next to the mantis, which, after noticing his hand, (and with some slight prodding from Loki’s other hand.) crawls onto it. Both Thor and Y/N gasp in horror as Loki effortlessly picks his hand up and walks past them. Loki opens a window, sets the mantis on the leaf of a nearby bush, and closes it.
Thor puts Y/N down as Loki is dusting his hands off. “I’ll never understand how you can bear to touch those things.”
“Yeah Loki, you’re crazy! That thing could’ve bitten you!” Loki rolls his eyes as Y/N’s statement.
“Yes, it could’ve, and I’m sure it would’ve been a devastating injury.”
Loki could barely believe that both men he cared for most in the universe, his brother AND his best friend, were afraid of insects. How they were afraid of such small, harmless creatures when they’ve fought real monsters and legions of alien soldiers was beyond him.
...But Loki couldn’t help himself, as he chuckled under his breath on his walk back to the kitchen.
made a part 2 since people liked it so much!
Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.

Me, tired brain, waking up: "...You know what would be cool, if I made a youtube video cooking and baking things based on my favorite fictional characters."
Me, realizing I don't have a youtube channel and don't have money for ingredients: "...Oh."
