Alternatively, And Less Funny, The Founders Of The City:

Alternatively, and less funny, the founders of the city:

Person 1: It's a beautiful view from here.

Person 2: Ya think?

Person 1: Yeah. I can see it now, can't you? Tens of hundreds of buildings. Farms reaching out as far as you can see. A community of people; a family in all but blood.

Person 2: You have high expectations of this place.

Person 1: Don't you? This is where I'll raise my family. Where they'll raise their families and so on and so forth. This place is for them. It has to be perfect.

Person 2: Oh? And what are you going to name this oh-so perfect town?

Person 1: How does...'Metropolis' sound?

Person 2: I like it

Fun fact: Metropolis, in canon, was founded in 1542 by an Italian sailor. The word 'metropolis', irl, was created in the early 1530's, first appearing in Greece.

How I imagine Metropolis got it's name

Person 1: Hey, I need to name this city. Any ideas?

Person 2: You need to name a city?

Parson 1: ...say that again.

Person 2: ..You need to name a city??

Person 1: City....city... It sounds right, but it doesn't roll off the tongue

Person 2: What the hell..?

Person 1: What're other words for 'city'

Person 2: Um...municipality, megalopolis, conurbation, metropolis..?

Person 1: Wait! Say that last one again

Person 2: Metropolis?

Person 1:

Person 2: You're...going to name your city... Metropolis?

Person 1: Great, isn't it?

Person 2: You're city is going to be named City?

Person 1: Yep!

Person 2: ....

Person 2: I quit.

Person 1: You can't quit! We still need to come up with character names! I'm thinking we lean into alliteration

If MCU! Thor was being mind controlled, would he still be able to lift his hammer?

I just found out that at Peter's (Ultimate Spider-Man/technically MCU Spider-Man) funeral, Thor is happy because he knows for a fact that Peter has a place in Valhalla.

Announcement for How To Balance And a Kinda Spoiler

I figured I should let ya know that I'm going to be posting the entire story here on Tumblr before editing and posting on Ao3.

I'm gonna try my best to update at noon on Sundays (my time), but I can't really guarantee the consistent time. The day should stay the same, though, until I move it to Ao3.

Kinda Spoiler under the cut, read if you want, but it's not anything explicit

Again, nothing outright:

A lot of fics like to completely ignore the destruction of Bludhaven but this one isn't going to.

Not me planning this out already.....

I swear I'm not gonna write it yet! But a few notes (amd maybe an outline) won't hurt anyone....

I was thinking about writing a Spider-Man and Batman crossover like Leap of Faith and Dark Matter, but I convinced myself otherwise. Not because I don't think I'd do a good job or because I'm already working on a million and a half stories, but because of this:

I tend to go really dark with my writing if I don't make sure to not let myself get lost in the words. I don't think I could bring myself to put Peter through anything I'd come up with. Maybe in the future, but definitely not right now

Slutshaming women is not ok Slutshaming Alexander Hamilton is totally ok Tumblr logic
