"I'm working on the body first."

I have yet to see the new X-men movie, and it will likely be quite awhile before I do, but in the meantime, here is an adorable interview clip of the Magnetos and Xaviers young and old doing impressions of one another:

I have to say, Fassbender's McKellan is pretty spot on.

Aww, I'm picturing the Hulk all curled up in a ball asleep with his thumb in his mouth, having happy dreams about smashing things.

Banner and the Hulk could probably do with a Charles-induced happy dreams nap.

Then, of course, you haven't deal with the fact that there are 50,000 X-men who all do different things, which would be a lot of people to stop, and you'd have to suss out who does what and how to make them not do it any more.

I don't know how it would work but I like the idea of JARVIS and Mjolnir somehow working in tandem to save the Avengers somehow. If anything because I want everyone to wake up from their nap to JARVIS saying everything's been taken care of with Mjolnir silently preening next to Thor.

HA, HA, HA!

Hawkeye: Is it just me or does that hammer look smug?

Heeheehee!! Thor would be smiling proudly while everyone else is o_O.

[awanderingbard.livejournal.com]

Hee!

*Thor and Mjolnir fist-bump*
Everyone else: ....
Tony: So, who wants pie? C'mon, we'll buy some mead for Mew-Mew or something.

HAHAHA! Mew-Mew! Oh, Tony. Never change.

I need to rewatch the Avengers for fic research purposes. Or rather so I can recall what Tony and Steve sound like when they're talking to each other. Or at each other.

[awanderingbard.livejournal.com]

I think they sort of sound like:

Tony: *snark, snark, snarky snark*
Steve: *earnest, serious, disapproving, surprise snark*

[joonscribble.livejournal.com]

Tony: *snark, snark, snarky snark*
Steve: *earnest, serious, disapproving, surprise snark*

Yup, that sounds like it in a nutshell. Poor Steve. He's so respectful of so many things and Tony just is SO NOT. I wonder if they ever talk at all (I know they don't in the film but just in general) about Steve having worked with Howard.

[awanderingbard.livejournal.com]

I don't know. I have about two seconds of that in a Cap fic that I started so long ago it's probably no longer canon, and Tony got super uncomfortable, so in my verse at least, I'm guessing they don't. I can see Tony being sort of jealous that Steve had the respect of his father that he didn't have. I can see Steve wanting to fix, too, though, so maybe one night they might have a heart-to-heart about it. Steve being persistent while Tony works on a gadget of some sort and grunts.

[joonscribble.livejournal.com]

There was some pertinent information given about Howard Stark and his wife in the latest Cap movie. It doesn't rock any already established canon or anything but illuminates one or two things.

I will need Tony to show up at some point in my Winter Soldier fic for logic's sake. I both fear and look forward to writing Tony. Mainly because the longer I plan Tony's appearance, Pepper and JARVIS and DUM-E and others have all decided to budge in.

[awanderingbard.livejournal.com]

I love writing Tony, but eccentric geniuses are sort of my jam. I think the main trick is that he speaks as fast as he thinks, and he doesn't edit any of it, so it all comes out in roundabout, disjointed ways, because he's got ten things on the go in there and talking to you is only one of them. And he has that layer of flippancy over everything that's actually important, so he comes off as breezy even if he's trying to be serious.

Every time I catch up on a Marvel movie, they release two more. I'll never be au courant for fic writing, I fear. I still haven't see IM3, and that's been out for ages. My brother warned me off of it, though. He ranted about it so much that he was here and had to go to the laundromat to pick up his clothing and made me come with him so he could keep ranting.

One of these days I will be all caught up on things.

I'm off to have a wee nap. Enjoy your research and writing! Thanks for being silly with me.

[joonscribble.livejournal.com]

IM3 had some problems. But it did do one thing that I enjoyed but I feel I'm in the minority with that.

Have a good nap! I'm not Charles but I hope you have pleasant dreams.

I woke up from my nap with the idea that McAvoy is a penguin.Short, silly, and a bit beaky in the mouth. He could visit Shark!bender that way, too.

Just a thought. An incredibly important thought, obviously.

[joonscribble.livejournal.com]

Yesssss! Penguin!Mcavoy is perfect! Also, Shark!bender sounds like an actual job. A dangerous one, yes. But a job. It joins otter!batch as a hilarious name/object smoosh.

[awanderingbard.livejournal.com]

Shark!bender sounds like a very dangerous form of balloon animal making.

A royal penguin (http://birdway.com.au/spheniscidae/royal_penguin/source/image/royal_penguin_126194.jpg), maybe? I just think it looks like it could talk with a Scottish accent. And they just like they're having fun (http://01271bfede0954168758-da1041207dde8e2d0a75af6fbedebedf.r83.cf1.rackcdn.com/20050201055436.jpg) all the time.

[joonscribble.livejournal.com]

Eeep! So cute. You know, if we lived in a world where daemons really did exist, I'm like 98% positive this really would be McAvoy's daemon. It's kind of round and cuddly looking but also vaguely frightening.

[awanderingbard.livejournal.com]

It's kind of round and cuddly looking but also vaguely frightening.

That is the best description of James McAvoy ever.

[joonscribble.livejournal.com]

It's inviting possible hugs and cuddles but it may also injure you a bit. I can totally picture it waddling next to him during film premieres. Looking squishable...and dangerous.

[awanderingbard.livejournal.com]

Heeehee! Or disapproving of you taking pictures of his son. Badass little ninja penguin. And meanwhile Hiddleston's little meerkat daemon is going 'HI, do you want to be friends?' while his publicist is all 'come on, stop talking to strangers!'. And Cumberbatch's otter gives very thoughtful, long, eloquent answers and then photobombs a celebrity.

[joonscribble.livejournal.com]

Does this mean someone or Fassbender himself would have to wheel around a little tank that contains his shark daemon? Or since it's not an actual shark he can sort of...carry it with him? I am vaguely amused by him having an assistant whose sole job is to push around a tank with his daemon inside.

Assistant: Really? It couldn't have been a falcon or something?

[awanderingbard.livejournal.com]

Well, in the books, if you have a dolphin daemon, you have to live near the sea. Which should be fine, as the reason it's a dolphin is because you love living near the sea. I have an idea in my daemon!verse that those with fish daemons have tank backpacks they can carry around, but I don't know about sharks. Maybe a little shark? Cookiecutter sharks are only two feet long and have the most terrifying jaws, OMG, *aborts Googling*.

So yeah, he could just have a nice Dolce & Gabana tuxedo tank for premieres and stuff.

[joonscribble.livejournal.com]

I just googled a cookie cutter shark and OMG they are frightening looking! Compared to them a regular shark looks downright friendly.

So...I'm going to assume you've thought about what daemon each avenger would have, right?

[awanderingbard.livejournal.com]

Erm...not all of them... Just Steve and Loki, really. I wrote a little fic for Steve and Issie for the consci_fan_mo last year, but never crossposted it. It is here (http://consci-fan-mo.livejournal.com/135708.html). And I think we decided on a caracal for Loki.

I'm always really bummed that females of the species aren't as brightly coloured, because giving Tony something like a peacock would be perfect, but peahens don't have tails. Hawkeye would need a bird of prey of some sort.

Damn you, now I'm going to have to think about this!

[joonscribble.livejournal.com]

Is it strange that I think that Teddy Roosevelt Terrier actually kind of looks like Steve?

because giving Tony something like a peacock would be perfect, but peahens don't have tails.

Hmmm...I can sort of see Tony having a more plain colored bird like a peahen or a female mandarin duck but then have her constantly rubbing her feathers on chalk or juices to color her feathers. You know...because it's Tony's daemon.

I imagine Natasha's being a large snake of some sort. Really beautiful, long, colorful scaly body that can probably crush you.

[awanderingbard.livejournal.com]

Is it strange that I think that Teddy Roosevelt Terrier actually kind of looks like Steve?

If it is, I am also strange, because I think so too. Something about the concerned and alert face.

Hee! Asking JARVIS to help her put her make-up on because she's going out and doesn't have opposable thumbs. I have an idea that his daemon might have changed form after he was kidnapped. He had a major change of heart there, I wonder if she might have reflected that. Gone in sort of a playboy daemon and come out more like a warrior daemon.

I think Fury would have a panther. And Coulson would have something mild-mannered but deadly. I don't know if Thor would have an Earth animal or a strange Asgardian beast. And Bruce's daemon would presumably Hulk out with him. Turn into a green bear or something, but be quite small and serious otherwise.

[joonscribble.livejournal.com]

Yes! That's exactly it.

I have an idea that his daemon might have changed form after he was kidnapped.

Can daemons change after it settles? It makes sense that it can after a traumatic event....this just gives me fic ideas for a Winter Soldier DaemonsAU. Dammit!

Coulson would have something mild-mannered but deadly.

I haven't watched any Agents of SHIELD but based on the films, I can see Coulson's being perhaps a Rottweiler or a German Shepard: loyal, docile when at rest but vicious when needed.

Turn into a green bear or something, but be quite small and serious otherwise.

Mark Ruffalo already looks like a teddy bear of sorts so perhaps some sort of passive bear. Like a panda. They're herbivores. But it turns into a grizzly when he hulks out?
