Clint x Natasha: Names

gofullforce:

If she is truthful with herself it has nothing to do with the name and everything to do with Clint. Clint, the only person in the whole world who is close enough to the infamous Black Widow to call her Nat.

This is a tiny blink-and-you-miss-it moment in the film, but Natasha’s just got back to SHEILD. She probably went straight from her interrogation to picking up Banner and the only news she has about Clint is just that he’s been compromised. She’s in public so she can’t show distress, but she touches his face on the computer screen, wondering where he is, hating that she can’t watch his back.

I LOVE THIS BIT SO FUCKING MUCH.

GENDERBENDING THE VAMPIRE DIARIES:

(as imagined by Leighanne and Jordan)

Scarlett Johansson as Niklaus Nikola Mikaelson

Jamie Alexander as Elijah Evangeline Mikaelson

The notion of them as sisters and women and dealing with being women with preternatural power through the ages is fascinating. No one throughout history has ever liked women in power, so just imagine the disparate ways that Nikola and Evangeline maneuver the delicate politics of their bodies, full of strength and eternity held in delicate prisons of corsets and beauty.

Nikola’s desire for infinite love becomes even more tied up with the chip on her shoulder; she believes her superiority to every other living being on the planet entitles her to be worshipped - and she has been worshipped, in multitudes, but it’s always inextricably bound with her femininity, not her inherent greatness. And she rages against it - when she can be bothered with humanity at all (which is generally whenever she grows bored because her family is being troublesome again and are therefore sleeping soundly their coffins) - she will  slaughter cardinals in brothels set fire to throne rooms after dancing in a masquerade with an overtly handsy prince; smirk lightly for a moment over her champagne before devouring the classical scholar who dares condescend to her in the middle of an elegant salon.

Evangeline, by contrast, uses her femininity as a manipulative performance; she owns her femininity in a more obvious way as a living embodiment. To her it is a tool to use and charm and distract and make people love her and do as she says. She has by turns tired of such games and wandered deserts and old holy trails, and lived in the lap of luxury in a pavilion war-tent, whispering strategy into the ear of a conquering emperor. and Of course if all her more elegant means of persuasion fail, she has no trouble getting her way by other, less savory means. This is a girl who could swipe your head off without getting blood on her gown.

Where Nikola rages against the constrictions imposed on her as a woman throughout the ages, gloriously, violently, delighting in the havoc she causes when she refuses to play by the rules, Evangeline will slide in under the cloak of societal norms and destroy you from the inside out.  Nikola is much more caught up in her rage and against it, against any concession to human expectations, while Evangeline will play humanity like a fiddle because she’s watched the notes of human expectation and courtesy evolve from their very roots.

They do not often get along, but when they do, it is biblical.

“She constantly heard other girls making fun of her behind her back. She usually spent lunch alone under a tree somewhere with an open library book. Although she would never tell anyone, Alex was so lonely that sometimes it hurt.” —
