PLOST POT
I have like eleventyone threads I want to put up and I just needed to coordinate so this is a
PLOT POST
I realize I'm getting tags like once a week (why has that become appropriate, shame on your families) so you might not want to think about this, or you're only that slow because you don't know how to think about this anymore, but like make this post work in your favour. Tell everyone what is up, what is slowing you down, what plot things are or aren't working for you or you don't understand, what you'd rather be thinking about, how cute your dogs are so you just want to spend time with them. This is all valid.
The point is, this is officially the BILLIONTH plot post talking about Dark Avengers and I hope to make it one of the last, so focus the FUCK UP. Lay your feelings out like so if it tickles you:
WHAT I WANT/NEED TO ACCOMPLISH BEFORE THIS PLOT'S END: and fill in the following with things relevant to you, obviously 1. THIS ongoing thread with Jess and Tony will at come point have Tony finally confront the fact that Jess's brain is on funny. JESSICA AND BRUCE: do you want to go through with the fixing her in the same thread, or do you want to do a follow up thread? I know how Tony might handle either situation, but sound off. JUSTIN: Do you...want to know? and how aware are you of this entire ongoing plot re: Jess' relationship with HYDRA, either them or Tony independently seeking the tesseract, Bruce's loyalty, etc. CONTESSA: Do you want to respond, will you even know this has occurred, is there fallout?
2. KITTY AND RHODEY: We do still have a date. As psycho as Tony is, I'd rather do it now than after-chaos, so there's this, but we could put it off idk it's not that important. Tasha's life is really busy though! So I just want to know how you guys feel about it. My plan was to do a sort of deep sea salvaging thing that led to aliens and being trapped in the dark depths of the ocean in an organic/sentient? space ship. I was just thinking it could involve Tony like excavating/location...scouting to build a sort of aquatic habitarium, as to their reason for being there. It makes sense trust me, the point is that could be a long-running thing outside of the aliens and terrible date. ANYWAY, at this point it's still open so anyone could be involved so come talk!
WHAT I WANT TO HAPPEN DURING THIS PLOT'S END: ie how to be involved and proud of your contribution to kicking Hammer's stupid butt 1. RHODEY AND PEPPER: Your investigation into Tony's depravity should lead you to discovering his live-recording while doing Hammer-related tasks. These are encoded and have been locked off so far, so you probably are still mystified by everything that is happening. LUCKILY, you are both brilliant, and can access them just in time for the final conflict where Alex is killed. IT IS UP TO YOU to chose to broadcast this information AS IT HAPPENS, otherwise this whole idea falls apart. Whether you bring in other big brains to figure this out is your call. But that's where you need to be while Tony is stuck under a rock or whatever it is that is keeping him from helping Alex. Is that going to be Thor's doing?
2. NICK: so far you've pretty much been doing your own thing and there wasn't any fallout to your secret Howling Commandos base being overrun with Hammerplague. But Jasper is still here! He can help! He knows all of the secrets. Jasper's not doing anything and I feel bad help me out, what's the plan, you're just going to kill a kid and walk away, IMPOSSIBLE. COULSON: How do we help...you? Do you play a role in this endgame? Do you want to be helped?
3. ANYONE: who exactly is finding out that Alex has the Cube? Is that Nick? Do we know where the confrontation is going to happen?
WHAT I WANT TO HAPPEN FOLLOWING THIS PLOT: 1. COLLEEN AND WANDA: this can technically happen any time, I'm just putting it here. I was writing my going-to-alaska post and then I lost it so it still isn't up because I'm furious about it. This is pretty much just a headsup. But if you have input on what you want to see happen there, that would be helpful.
2. NO ONE IN PARTICULAR: Tony's probably going to check out for a bit and go to San Diego. If you want to have wacky, precious California adventures, speak now! Katie-pie. Kate. Kate. Tony may or may not purge Extremis, which would make my username a little sad, I haven't really decided. If anyone has any feelings (haha how narcissistic, indulge me), lay 'em out.
3. AVENGERS: ??? I guess you're still a thing??? Mostly, there's like a hundred shitty people that were in the Dark Avengers that need to be dealt with, PARTICULARLY LOKI, PARTICULARLY LOKI'S control of THOR. Do you guys have an endgame for that, or are we brainstorming, or do you want to sit on it for a bit? This might go back to my question for the Contessa. Is this going to be a neat way to frame the 'and we're a team again yay' problem, or would you rather anyone hit it head on like 'Avengers you motherfuckers just ASSEMBLE ALREADY'. THAT SAID, it doesn't have to be familiar Avengers characters. Building from the ground floor, anyone can and should start up/get involved with the team again. I kind of want to make Avengers Mansion their HQ again, but that pretty much depends on how the rebuild goes.
4. SHIELD: Is NICK going to waltz back into control since everything Justin did would essentially be void? Or is there still enough mistrust there to put MARIA or someone else in the Director's seat? Does anyone else want to be?
5. oh my god I had other stuff but my wrist is starting to hurt
