Blood will Flow

Just got back and that was probably the fastest three hours ever. I liked some, hated a small part for reasons, laughed a lot and basically loved the whole effing thing.

There was less of something than I'd expected, and more of something else. My brain got in a bit of a tangle but my feels were totally pinged.

That's all I can say - oh, other than those of you who haven't been yet and are trying to avoid any mention of it, you might like to know there's no end or mid credit extras. There is a noise at the very, very end - so you might want to stay for that. But that's all it is. Not voices, not dialogue, just a noise.

And I for one have NO idea what the noise might mean.

After a discussion about WWII and superhero movies, mostly with dear_tiger, I found this vid today, and it's totally cracking me up.



It's a bit long but it gets better and better, and I especially love the Slash homage in the middle! monicawoe, I hope you've seen this!

I've had another go at some dress design ideas on Redbubble, and I quite like how they've turned out. I'm thinking I should try some more abstract kind of designs for SPN too so if anyone has any bright ideas, let me know.
If you are interested in anything with these designs on, check out my Redbubble page (just click on the images)

I succumbed, I've bought my ticket for Friday and this Loki vid has me even more pumped now! Got to say, her trailers and better than the official ones. Trailer-level spoilers (obviously)

I think I am definitely losing count here - but I'll just run with whatever day I think it is, blow it. So Day 23's photo is the billboard poster in the pictures this afternoon, and today's happy dancing was due to finally getting to see Captain America, the Winter Soldier. And I was even happier that it didn't disappoint, given that me and my cinema buddy have been looking forward to this one for what feels like eons.

I liked how it didn't try and wrap up all the story lines, there was plenty of blowing stuff up and kicking arses, but there was quite a lot of thinky thoughts in there as well - and not so much that the momentum was lost. (Well in my opinion, anyway). I enjoyed the filling in of more backstory, I loved how Steve's integrity drove everything in the end, and how the film questioned the whole idea of overwhelming force as a deterrent.

I loved Falcon - how cool to have wings like that and hey, it didn't hurt that he is so very pretty too. On that note, aren't Chris Evans' eye lashes to die for?

Spoilers ahoy!!!

So anyway, I loved it, and will be buying the DVD. *Nods*

My second fill for insmallpackages is for the person who wanted a drawble of Loki barefoot in his Asgard cage (Thor/MCU). Original request is here.
Tom Hiddleston is harder to draw than I expected (don't know why I thought he'd be easy but there you go... Clearly I'm delusional!), so I hope you still like this, oh Giftee!

My first real venture into the Avengers verse, thanks to the bad influence of my lovely friend tryfanstone who wrote this fic for the comics_bb
You can read this wonderful Russian (yes Russian) AU either on Jay's website , here on LJ or on AO3 if you prefer.

Summary: This is the Red Son reboot, in which Steve Rogers' childhood heroes were aviators and polar explorers, and Tony Stark grew up reading Captain America comics in Siberia.
Warnings: One NSFW picture

First, the cover.  I accidentally made Steve a bit stern-looking instead of just serious.( Large images (and one NSFW image) under the cut )
