Happy Thanksgiving! (:
I stayed up till 10:30 PM making food last night, but I'm doing more today XD We usually host thanksgiving every year, but this year no one's coming over. But, aside from no one coming over, we're still making the same amount of food & such XDD Gonna drop some food over at my Gramma's doorsteps, though (:
Anyone doing anything fun?

Was it a fun car ride, at least? (: I like road trips! And, I have fond memories of driving home for Thanksgiving & blasting Christmas music from when I was in school (:
Thanks! I just got a few more, and I'm so excited! I need more space for them, though xD

Yes, I really enjoyed it! I hope to get the third book at some point so that I can read that! My favorite POV is Thorn (: Have you read any of the Bravelands books yet?

WIthout being spoiler-y: I like how we get to see a new environment and how all the animals interact, and, like you said, it’s kind of like the Lion King! (: I also really enjoyed reading from the perspective of animals that I’ve never read before. My favorite, as I mentioned, is Thorn! And I liked seeing what the tribe was like & seeing things through his eyes & all the emotions/stuff he went through (: I also just really liked the plot, and it was fun to read! (:

I've heard of both, but I've never read them before! Do you like them?
I do! So far, I've stuck to mostly Captain America comics, but I've also read a few Avengers, Spiderman, a few random ones that I've found, and also X-Men (I'm starting at the beginning of X-Men, all the way from their first appearance, and it's pretty cool!) My favorites are definitely my Captain America & Winter Soldier comics! My absolute favorite is Captain America: Winter Soldier. And I also really love Captain America/Iron Man: Civil War! They're both beautifully written & illustrated, and they're very emotional XD

I like fantasy, so I’d probably like it! (: I had a tough time figuring out where to start, too, because I wasn’t originally familiar with how the comics were & there were so many But I started by learning more about the marvel universe, and I got a marvel encyclopedia! And then I knew I wanted to read all the Captain America comics that I could, so I just went on amazon & got the storylines I was familiar with xD Captain America: Winter Soldier was my first (: Then I kind of went from there, and kept picking up more based on the movies I saw, favorite characters, and stories I wanted to learn more about. However, I also really wanted to read Captain America from the beginnng in chronological order, so I got the ultimate collection volume 1 to start. I like to own my comics, so it can get expensive But I also read one from the library, too, so that’s an option if you have a library nearby (: My local library is closed right now due to covid, though ): And then the X-Men comics I’m reading are something I’m borrowing. I’ve spent a lot of money on my comics, but I didn’t buy them all at once, so it has spared me the horror of finding out the actual expenses all together xD I’m not too familiar with digital comics, but I think you can also read them on the marvel website (I think you might have to pay, though) and also on kindles. The digital comics are cheaper than the hard copies, I’d say xD If you look up timelines of which characters you’d like to read about, you can probably find suggested reading orders (:

Awesome! Definitely a good holiday gift, as well (: I've read 2 Civil War comics! One was Captain America/Iron Man: Civil War, as I mentioned. This one tells the story from both character perspectives, and it follows more closely with the movie. But then I also read the original Civil War, I believe, which is a little different and has a TON more characters. Would you say that Iron Man is your favorite? Yes and I also collect them XDWhat actually got me into Marvel was the movie Captain America: Winter Soldier! I went to see the movie w/ my dad in theaters & I didn't really know what it was going to be about (I'd heard about marvel and stuff, but I didn't really make the connections or anything so I wasn't too aware of the universe). But I ended up lovvvinngggg the movie, and then I went home, bought Captain America: the First Avenger on my little iPod touch and watched it on repeat for WEEKSS XD Needless to say, I became obsessed with Captain America, Bucky, and then the whole marvel universe XD Do you watch the movies? Oh, that's pretty awesome! I haven't been to a bookstore in awhile, and covid has made that even harder o: But that's a good deal!

I'm gonna say my favorite in the comics are Captain America and Bucky, but that's also because I'm biased b/c they're my favorite in general and thus the ones I've chosen to read most about XDD But, honestly, with all the comics I've read, I've enjoyed them all XD
ENDGAMMMEEEEE~ have you been able to escape spoilers and stuff? XD
No shame, no shame, haha. Tom Hiddleston is quite a looker (; I love hearing origin stories of how people got into certain things, though. && I feel that. Like, I grew up watching Spiderman, Hulk, X-Men, etc. And I saw parts of Thor on tv and saw merchandise at the store. And then I first heard of Avengers when it came out in theaters from my history teacher? XDD And I was like, what in the world is an avenger, omsc. But then I watched Avengers for the first time when it came out on dvd. And I remember being confused... XD But then once I figured out who the Avengers were and what Marvel was, I was able to make connections and understand it. I think being able to understand all the connections and tie everything together for the first time is beautiful b/c you can appreciate the movies more once you have a better idea of the entire world (:
Winter Soldier is pretty much tied for first for being my favorite XD My favorites are Cap 1 & Cap 2, haha. But, yesssssss, Ragnarokkk. That movie is a gem XD I definitely think it's the best of the Thor movies, and I could watch it a million times and never tire of it XD I think Watiti did a great job, and I think his directing gave the actors/actresses more freedom in their roles. We definitely got to see a different side of them, and I really loved it. It was comedic and serious at the same time, and I absolutely love the dynamic between Thor and Loki in this one. And any scene with Loki was beautiful, haha.

Any reason why Cap and Bucky are your favorites? They're pretty interesting. I totally forgot to say but Hawkeye is def one of my faves in comic form. I love how snarky he is. Ngl, the second Endgame was released I was on Wikipedia looking at the plot. I wanted to know who was gonna die because I heard the rumors. Have you seen it? ( I assume yes, but you never know. I want to be courteous) Me too. I knew the basics of superheroes, from cartoons. But I was a casual watcher. I think the Spiderman cartoon I grew up with was the one from 2003? But I'm not too sure on that. I've also seen the Ultimate Spiderman show, and that is my fave Spidey. I like to divide Marvel into 3 categories- MCU, Animated/Cartoons, and Comics. I know the most about the MCU, and way less with the other two. Love to see how different people interpret the heroes and their personalities, across different media and pages. But I do want to delve into the comics and animation more, I just don't want to put pressure on myself , ya know? I'll get to it when I get to it. Are there any Marvel ventures that you want to watch that you haven't seen? Or rewatch? As for Ragnarok- Heart eyes, man. We got to see Thor and Loki develop their relationship, like you said. Totally agree any scene with Loki was beautiful. Brunhilde was hilarious, and I liked to see how Hulk had a friend on that planet. It's a shame about The Warriors Three though. Cap 1 was the first movie I saw after the Iron Man trilogy, and I love mostly anything historical, so it was so cool to see. Peggy Carter is amazing and one of the people that I look up to. Have you seen her tv show? What about Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D? I could go on about those two for a while

I'm going to put this under a spoiler because it's so much writing XDD It's Chris Evans and Sebastian Stan XD But, aside from that, I just love their characters & stories (you can probably tell from my signature, avvie, and screen name XD). Steve's a good person with morals that I believe in, and he's always willing to sacrifice himself for the greater good and fight the good fight, even against the odds. (Not to mention they're both soldiers from the 1900s, and I love history xD) & he's just a good role model and hero. && Bucky, despite all he's been through, is still a good person & he's been so hurt, and he's still fighting the good fight and trying to make his amends for his past, and he's so loyal to Steve. & it's just emotional and I always love a good broken character, and Seb's acting in Cap2 is amazing w/ such little words <3 it's hard to put into words, but i just love em XD I actually read a Hawkeye/Winter Soldier comic XDD
I avoided spoilers, haha. I wanted to watch the movie with as fresh eyes as possible, haha. although i do admit to watching the trailer a million times XD And, yes, I have seen it (: I won't spoil anything for you, though!
Yeah, I actually started with the movies and then I got into the tv shows when I found them. I had wanted to start reading the comics, as well, but for a long time I didn't know where to start. But then once I started, I picked up more and more, and then it becomes a little easier to delve into XD I've seen Into The Spiderverse, as far as animated movies go. But, even though I've heard good things about the animated cartoons, I'm just not huge into watching them so I never have. But I have tried to watch most of the tv shows & movies that are available to me, and I do rewatch them a lot!
I've never seen the Runaways or any of the netflix ones b/c I don't have netflix. For tv shows I've seen: Agents of Shield, Agent Carter, Cloak&Dagger, Inhumans, The Gifted, and Legion. I think those are the only ones? XD I watched every episode of Agents of Shield, Agent Carter, The Gifted, Inhumans, and Cloak&Dagger faithfully each week. However, as much as I wanted to like Inhumans, it wasn't that great :/ and then it never got to a second season anyways. The Gifted, I really loveddd, but then it didn't get a third season ): Cloak&Dagger was good, but I mostly just watched it because it was marvel, but I didn't get into it as much as I would have liked. And Legion, heh. I wouldn't recommend that XDD I watched only the first season because it was marvel and i wanted to learn more about the characters, but it was very inappropriate and odd and once the first season ended, I didn't go back for the next season. As for Agents of Shield and Agent Carter, those are my two loves<3 Agents of Shield is my favorite tv show<3 And so was Agent Carter, and I was so sad that it only had 2 seasons. I do rewatch Agents of Shield a lot! It's one of my comfort shows, haha. The first season is my favorite!
^^" I guess i kind of answered your question about agents of shield and agent carter above XD Do you have favorite characters from the shows? Or favorite seasons? Peggy is definitely a great character, and I really like her, too!

Yeah, Evans and Stan are amazing actors, and I agree with everything you said. I feel they were cast perfectly. Chris is practically Cap anyhow. You can spoil Endgame, I don't have any plans in watching it. I'm a big fan of cartoons, so I want to watch all of the new ones. Like the ones from 2012 onward. I'm just super bad at starting new tv shows. Agents and Agent Carter are the only Marvel shows I kept up with. I've seen all of Carter, and the first 3 and a half seasons of Agents. After they brought out the LMD's things started to get weird for me. Or it might have been before that, I can't remember. I tried to watch Inhumans too and thought it was a bit boring, so I dropped it. Haven't seen any other live action show. Are you excited for the Disney+ shows? I can't wait for The Falcon and The Winter Soldier! The first season of Agents is my fave. I absolutely loved that scene where Skye realizes what Ward has done. Mack and Yo-yo are my dears. Coulson is awesome too. Peggy is super cool, and it's rare that I like the main character but its Peggy " Do As She Says' Carter, ofc she's gonna be my fave. Everybody on that show had good development and storylines, imo. Season one was better because they didn't move to LA , but season 2 was good as well. Who's your favorite on the shows? Any show that you mentioned, I like to hear about people's favorite characters.

Aren't they? Fun fact, though, Sebastian Stan originally auditioned for the role of Captain America! But, so true. Chris = Cap <3 & Sebastian = Bucky Really? o: Is there a reason you aren't going to watch it? I hope you're able to watch them at some point, then! I actually just realized I've seen bits & pieces of the Spider-Man cartoons (I couldn't tell you which ones, though, haha). And then a few years ago, I watched a Christmas Avengers cartoon that my dad found, haha. I have to say, although I'm a fan of all of Agents of Shield, the first three seasons are probably the best! Although, like I said, the first season is my favorite as well xD && to answer you question about Disney+, yessss. I was so excited to get Disney+ for the marvel shows (SPECIFICALLY The Falcon and Winter Soldier, because it's going to be awesommmeee) but since it was postponed due to covid, I still haven't gotten Disney+. But I will definitely be getting it when The Falcon and Winter Soldier comes out! I'd like to see WandaVision, Loki, The Mandalorian, as well as other disney stuff! That episode is great! I've watched the first season so many times XD I think season 1 of Agent Carter was my favorite, too. My favorite characters were Sousa, Peggy, and Howard! I'm not a huge fan of older Howard, but I love young Howard! My favorite characters in Agents of Shield are definitely Fitz <3 and Ward. I also like Skye, and I liked Tripp while he was on the show. It probably sounds weird that Ward is a favorite of mine, but I really liked his character. I don't like what he did, but his character was developed really well, and his story was emotional. Even though he played the bad guy, I was always rooting for him to turn his back on evil and do the right thing. In the end, even though it took him a while to get there, I ended up in tears from the season 3 (?) finale b/c I think he was finally able to do the right thing. My favorites characters on The Gifted were John, Polaris (except I liked her better in the first season), and Marcos!

Was it a fun car ride, at least? (: I like road trips! And, I have fond memories of driving home for Thanksgiving & blasting Christmas music from when I was in school (: Thanks! I just got a few more, and I'm so excited! I need more space for them, though xD It was a fun car ride! I got to see a lot of snow and trees. It was very pretty. Niiiiiice! That sounds like so much fun! Heeeeeeeeeeeeeello other person and fellow Marvel fan!

Captain Americatoooo, I didn't know that! Yeah, I'm just salty about the way they treated some characters in that movie. I forgot about Tripp! He was cool. Ward is def an interesting character who had a battle going on in himself. And Mike is cool too. mintedstar/furHellooooooo back! That car trip sounds fun. Do you read the comics or watch the movies or all of it?

I have watched the movies and I have certainly read a lot of comics, but goodness would it be hard to read all of them. XD I've read almost all of the Runaways and most things involving Loki.
