It’s occurred to me… does Valkyrie from Thor Ragnarok count? Because I know that the one scene showing her romantically involved with a woman was cut (maybe it’ll leak one day?), but Tessa Thompson fought so hard for her to be the MCU’s first bisexual character, and said in interviews that she considered herself to be playing a bi woman…
Well, even if Marvel let her down, here she is with the bi flag colours behind her!
general opinion: fall in a hole and die | don’t like them | eh | they’re fine I guess | like them! | love them | actual love of my life hotness level: get away from me | meh | neutral | theoretically hot but not my type | pretty hot | gorgeous! | 10/10 would bang hogwarts house:gryffindor | slytherin | ravenclaw | hufflepuff best quality: Is a badass, and brave, and hysterically funny worst quality: I’m still trying to work out exactly what her job for the Grandmaster entailed. Promo stuff calls her a bounty hunter but it seemed to edge pretty close to slave trading at times… right? I’m not sure. But that definittttttely counts as a worst quality ship them with: My tiny rarepair ship is Valkyrie/Aleta Ogord from GOTG brotp them with: BRUCE! And Thor and Loki misc. thoughts: I can’t remember if she’s gonna be in IW or not but I hope she is. And hopefully not to die
Title: Godforsaken [title subject to change, as usual, but I actually quite like this one] Fandom: MCU (Guardians of the Galaxy 2 & Thor: Ragnarok) Rating: uh, mature? NSFW? There is sex. Characters: Aleta Ogord, Valkyrie (Brunnhilde), Stakar Ogord, a few other important people mentioned here and there Pairings: Aleta/Valkyrie, Aleta/Stakar (background) Notes: This is set after Valkyrie exiled herself to Saakar, but before the events of Thor Ragnarok and before any of the Guardians of the Galaxy movies. This is a fairly young Aleta.
Also, I’ve only seen Thor Ragnarok once, so I really hope I haven’t gotten anything crucially wrong, especially re: Valkyrie.
Summary: A case of mistaken identity, a one-night-stand gone horribly wrong, and absolutely no sense of a resolution whatsoever.
i’m 101% sure that this entire line was improv and tom couldn’t help it
“Yeah, that was basically, we did about six different versions of that story, and that was just us standing around while the cameras were rolling and I would just feed them lines and feed Chris ideas for stories. I’d say, “Do another one, in this one say: ‘I was walking through a field, and I saw a lovey Turkish rug in the middle of the grass, and I love Turkish rugs, so I went to stand on it, and it was Loki, and he turned back into Loki and there was a hole and I fell through the hole was was impaled on a whole lot of spikes.’” So we did versions of that, and the one with the snake just ended up being the one we used.”
My completely bizarre, incomprehensible MCU crackship is Kraglin/Bucky
I’m also convinced Valkyrie had a one-night stand with Aleta at some point
*chinhands* I buy both of these. Tell me more.
Weeeeeell I figure that Kraglin and Bucky would just sort of get each other, both of them carry one hell of a lot of guilt, both are loyal almost to a fault, they’re both soldiers in one way or another… plus damn do both of them deserve a loving, normal relationship…
As for Valkyrie and Aleta, I kind of imagine that Valkyrie spotted her one day and for juuuuuuust one second almost thought she was seeing Hela, because their aesthetics are pretty similar. Aleta noticed her brief discomfort and they struck up a conversation/verbal sparring match which ended in a one-night stand. (Lots of drink was probably also involved.) This was either before Aleta got married to Stakar or they just have an open relationship. (They probably do.)
(Dammit I kind of want to write that last one now, although I might have watch Ragnarok with a focus on Valkyrie a bit more first.)
