(It’s really funny to me when excerpts from things I write get more notes than actual things I write. I’m real bad at the micro part of microblogging.)

Marvel and DC fabulousness! (Hawkman’s wings actually moved, they could go from full spread to folded asdfghjkl)
Guys, hey, guys. Do you remember that time that Coulson called Natasha and she ended up forming the Avengers? Remember how she did that by digging up Bruce Banner and introducing Steve to him then was the voice of reason when Tony and Steve were bickering and then how she brought Clint back from being mind controlled so that they can be a team? Remember that? Remember how the Black Widow out smarted a god? Remember that time she kept her shit together when the Hulk attacked her, even though she was really scared? Remember when she knocked an alien off his flying scooter and figured out how to drive it despite it being extrateresstrial tech, then got her ass up to the top of Stark Tower, found Loki’s staff and saved the world from being invaded by turning off the machine?
Remember how she was the central character of the whole freaking movie?
Anyone else remember that? I sure do.
#and remember how they didn’t sexualize her #remember how she was independent and didn’t need a male crutch #remember how when loki implied that she needed a man she completely tore him down #remember how natasha romanov doesn’t take shit from nobody #especially not a man

Scarlett’s stunt trainning for her role as Black Widow in Iron Man2
“Scarlett hadn’t really done an action role.And she assured me that she would work as hard as she needed to both get in sharp and do her stunts and learn all that stuff.She spent hours and hours and hours for months.By far the most dedicated actor when it came to stunt work and the physical work.” - Jon Favreau:Director&co-star
like a fucking boss.
Because some things should always be shared.
I finished my Black Widow dress! Design by Robinade. Will post better pictures eventually?
Face cut off because expression is slightly…demonic? Had several incidents with the sewing machine and the ruffles. But honestly, I’m super excited.
Ohhhh my GOD. THIS IS SO EXCELLENT. The Black Widow dress is definitely one of my hardest-to-sew designs (sorry!) and you pulled it off brilliantly. And you look fabulous in it, I might add. All you need is her belt symbol (and maybe those bullet bracelets?) and you’ll be good to go! I’m soooo excited. :D :D :D
for real though look me in the eye and tell me which is more likely for these two
#the greatest #i’ve got red in my ledger. i’d like to wipe it clean. #she manipulates people’s gendered expectations of her to extract information#she conducts interrogations by letting people think they’ve bested her #by letting men think they’ve bested her #because she’s small and fragile and female and she is emotional and easy to snap in half #and then she tears them apart #and it’s the greatest thing and you’re the greatest thing and i love you #get your own movie
Hands up who’d rather have a Black Widow movie instead of an Ant-Man one?
Still art slumpin’ so I guess that means it’s time for AVENGERS IN A LINE geez how many times have I drawn the Avengers in a line in this exact order. jhatesyourcrocs suggested that I draw the Avengers wearing sweaters and sweaters is my OTHER default mode besides Avengers, so yes obviously
Anyway I think Bruce knitted sweaters for everyone because knitting is a calming pastime, and then Thor was like LOKI IS MY BROTHER AND HE DESERVES A SWEATER TOO and so Bruce made one for Loki with Thor’s design input.
