awanderingbardFirst all: Agent Carter, please continue to be amazing, and also stop toying with my emotions because I can't write fic fast enough to deal with them all.
Second, I mentioned a bit ago that I was playing the Avengers Academy game on my iPad, and that the gameplay was meh but the rest of it was amazing. I've kept up with it, and the gameplay has grown on me, but it's still one of those games that you do something and then have to wait for a long time to do something else with. And it's so entertaining, you'd like to be able to faster. But the amount of detail and thought put into all of it is incredible. Like, let's take a minute to appreciate emo!teen Loki, wearing his 1930s 'Midgardian' swimsuit, a boater hat with horns, and swimming in a pool with a Jörmungandr floaty:
Or the fact that Tony gets his drinks served at the club by a robot:
And then there are the things the characters say when you click on them. Cap's make me laugh the most, because it sounds like Tony programmed the game and came up with 'Cap' things for him.
Some of Caps lines:
"Follow me!"
"Just like the good old days!"
"Let's be the best we can be."
"Move it, soldier!"
"Let's give 'em everything we've got."
"If we stick together, nothing can stop us."
"Avengers assemble!"
So, yeah. Well done, Tiny Co. I salute your spot on characterizations. My only complaint is that, so far, two of the three 'playable' female characters are somewhat boy obsessed and air headed. I don't know enough about Wasp or Enchantress to know if that's accurate or not. Natasha, however, is delightfully bored and suspicious.

I had already headcanoned them not having kids, but my version just had it being an inability to conceive due to unknown reasons. Now I have all these feels that require ficcage. Damn this show!
I hope we get a third season.

The whole idea fits in well with why we never hear Tony mention Jarvis having had children and why it made sense Jarvis raised Tony like a son in a lot of ways.
I really hope for a third season as well. I also hope that the network showing two episodes back to back each week has more to do with timing and wanting to finish before Agents of SHIELD return rather than them trying to burn through episodes because the ratings are too low.

Date: 2016-02-25 05:41 am (UTC)I have a fic I started a few weeks ago that required dancing around the kid issue, and now that it's canon, I have been writing like a mad thing because it all suddenly works much better.
Also, when your schedule allows, I will be very happy to have the rest of that fic. :-D

Yes, this. And that's what I like about the show, that they're building and adding these sorts of things that set up the later on universe. I'm still waiting for them to reveal that Sousa was rescued by Steve. Because I'm guessing he's going to be the future Mr Carter. They've been talking more about his leg this season, so I'm wondering if we're going to get the full story on it. This is my theory, but I could be wrong.

I was wondering if it was due to having more episodes this season, and if they gave them the same number of weeks, but there are two more episodes, and they started later in the year, so they had to squeeze them in. I'm hoping so, anyway. Moar!

Date: 2016-02-25 06:19 am (UTC)Well, I got some news today that will mean I'll be moving out of NY for the first time in over 10 years back to Boston for a year of training. Given that, I hope to finish up any lingering fics that I've either half posted or are half written in my files. It's my big fannish project for this year which I'll hopefully get to after my dissertation is officially done.
