Hasta lasagne, don't get any on ya

Usually, I am slow moving like pudding hopping from one fandom to the next. I started out in Stargate (and yahoo groups, dear, dear, yahoo groups) and basically stuck with it for a few years. Then Supernatural hooked me in (I don't even remember how - I remember avoiding it like the plague initially). That was a long (and still enduring considering I'm working on my [livejournal.com profile] spn_j2_bigbang) relationship.

Like molasses, I moved on to Inception, because a movie hadn't hooked me like that for a long time and the stories coming out of the fandom were interesting. The playing field was endless and the bromance epic.

So, Avengers. What the hell? Why did it whup me upside the head and how did it happen so fast? Those of you sticking with me for the Inception and Supernatural, never fear, I'm as slow to let a fandom go as I am to move onto a new one and still have plenty of WIPS in both, but geez. I don't know, I can't explain it.

I ship everyone with everyone. I'll give anything a bash and usually I settle on just the one pairing. There's Steve/Tony of course, but then there's Darcy/Clint, Clint/Coulson, Steve/Bucky, Steve/Clint (I have not seen one story with this yet but hope springs eternal or I'll have to write it anyway) etc, etc. I like reading about them all being BFFs, or doomed romances, or domestic schmoop or, or, or...

Anything.

I rolled my eyes in Chris Evans' general direction at first. But then I saw Sunshine and I was like, okay, he took a risk and moved away from the general pretty boy role. Then I saw The Losers and was... maybe there might be a little bit of a crush there. After Captain America I was firmly in the he is adorable camp.

I was dubious about Thor, ended up watching it on DVD because I got it as a Xmas present and my goodness, it was the most RIDIC, glorious thing ever. Where had Darcy been all my life? Chris Hemsworth, I remember you being in Home and Away you giant goof, how did you grow up like that?

I already had affection for Iron Man (but was sorely disappointed by the second movie - what the hell happened there??).

The thing is, people in RL keeping saying Who? when I mention Jeremy Renner.

For your viewing pleasure, this is Jeremy Renner:

HUM-UN-A


I just... wasn't prepared for him. He's taking over the Bourne franchise and that would have given me the heebies (because I have enduring affection for all three movies and Matt Damon) but now I'm okay, even excited about it because it's him.

Photobucket
HOW EVEN REAL JEREMY RENNER??


He's in stuff I'm excited to see. He has ARMS that I'm excited to see. I gave the new Mission Impossible movie a chance just because of him and boy, was I pleasantly surprised! (I loved the first one, then... DISASTER I guess because hoo, boy were those some bad sequels).

I'm sorry though, I still can't sit through SWAT. Even Jeremy Renner doesn't have that power.

Photobucket
I thought that object by his hand was a gun for AGES, until I realized it was actually a wrench. It's a little... random considering behind him is a car that's UPSIDE down but then I thought, maybe he's so badass he flipped a car just with a wrench.


Anyway, the point of this is to say that I'm smitten, so apologies if that gets old because you're like, what the hell, I don't see it, not my cuppa. BUT I am glacial in my fandom movements so don't think I'm abandoning you if you didn't sign up for Avengers. I'm just playing with my new toy, will return you to your regularly scheduled programming soon, I promise.

Jeremy Renner hooked me when I saw him in The Unusuals. He's not even vaguely my type, but damn, he's just so HOT!

[identity profile] kellifer-fic.livejournal.com 2012-02-12 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I haven't seen that one... but he was apparently also the young vampire in Angel that came back to torture Angel because he was abandoned so I am revisiting that one!

See, what happened to you with Avengers is what happened to me with Merlin! I've given up on apologizing for it, tho. It makes me too happy. :D (And if people fall away from my journal because of it...sad, but inevitable, I guess.) Enjoy the new fannish love! There is quite a lot of pretty in that fandom.

I hope most peeps understand that I basically never let anything go once I'm hooked fannishly. I'm still modding for [livejournal.com profile] stargateficrec... heh!

Hey, answer this for me -- what makes Hawkeye so appealing to me in the comics is the fact that he's deaf. Is movie!Hawkeye deaf, too?

[identity profile] kellifer-fic.livejournal.com 2012-02-12 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Oooooh... really?? He's not because he was in Thor and he was on comms with Coulson.

Man, that gives me squillions of fic ideas and would make the character MORE appealing but I'm pretty sure they've glossed over that.

I think I'm a bit smitten with all the Avengers and Jeremy Renner is soooo squishable!

Smitten is just the only way to describe it methinks!

Jeremy Renner's arms pretty much hooked me. HAWKEYE NEEDS HIS OWN MOVIE RIGHT EFFING NOW.

[identity profile] kellifer-fic.livejournal.com 2012-02-12 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I KNOW RIGHT??

IT WILL BE CRIMINAL IF THERE IS NOT ONE... OR MAYBE A BUDDY MOVIE WITH HIM AND NATASHA! HAR HAR!!!

Jeremy Renner is a compelling actor. I loved his performance in the Hurt Locker. :) I'm going to see if Netflix has SWAT.

[identity profile] kellifer-fic.livejournal.com 2012-02-12 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Man, I still have not seen Hurt Locker and I had been wanting to see it ever since it came out at the movies. I need to rectify that!

The reason you can't sit through SWAT is that Renner disappears for the entire middle of the movie, leaving us with that knotty wood panel Colin Farrell to carry us through.

FF through the Assembling the New Team sequence, the Getting to Know You sequences, the Trial By Fire sequences and skip ahead directly to the Guy Offers Umpty-Million $$$ To Break Him Outta Jail portion. It's not long after that JR comes back into play, and when he does, HOOBOY.

Your feelings about The Avengers are pretty much identical to mine-- which leaves me feeling extremely relieved. And Jeremy Renner!!!!! On paper, he is the opposite of my usual type, but OH DEAR LORD, he's the first man who's butt I've actually ever noticed.

I actually watched MI:4 just to see JR's butt. Oh, the shame.

Can I just say how thrilled I am that you're playing in this sand-pit-- long may it continue!!!

[identity profile] kellifer-fic.livejournal.com 2012-02-13 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think we're alone in being taken by surprise by our smitten-ness!

He and Chris Evans are both really off-type for me! I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S HAPPENING!!

I wish I could ship everyone with everyone in this fandom, but I feel that I am STRONGLY an OTP girl when it comes to Tony/Steve. And goddamn it, Clint/Phil is doing the same thing to me.

FUCK YOU AND YOUR AWESOME FACE, RENNER.

[identity profile] kellifer-fic.livejournal.com 2012-02-13 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
Heheee... !!

Why do I suddenly and with no forewarning find him so attractive?

P.S. I'm also completely in love with Avenger's fandom. There are so many options! I spent a good four hours this morning just downloading comics...

Oh man, I feel like a latecomer when I post to comms like the Steve/Tony one because all the comics peeps have like, been there forever but it's all so welcoming and squishy and no one is like, ugh, movieverse people get out! :DDD

SHIT. I DO NOT NEED ANOTHER FANDOM OKAY. (Actually that is a lie, so maybe I will borrow this one for a while and actually write some damn fic again.)

Also, most of what I got from this post is Jeremy Renner's FACE and is that an Impala he is leaning against because HEE.

OH MY GOD HE COULD TOTALLY BE ANOTHER WINCHESTER!!!!

DOOO EEEEET. JOIN US. COME TO THE DARK SIDE, WE HAVE COOKIES AND RENNER'S RIDIC FAAAAACE.

Renner has this ability to constantly amaze me. It's like every time I see his name in the opening credits of a film I go "oh yeah, I really like him!" but somehow it's still a surprise every damn time when I get to the end of the film and go "JEREMY RENNER IS THE BEST THING ABOUT THAT MOVIE AND ALSO MAYBE THE BEST THING EVER OH MY GOD." I don't know why, but he's just this constant source of surprising brilliance and I want him to be in all the things forever and ever. <3

Steve/Clint

I sort of hesitate to comment on the posts of movie fandom folk for fear of sounding like one of those condescending comic book people? but I have to point out that if this was written by an (early canon) comic fan it would be all "you are such a pain in my neck and yet also strangely hot". (Steve would be in favour of sex with Clint because it's a way to get Clint to stop talking. Essentially.)

Which, upon reflection, I am totally okay with. Make it happen people.

[identity profile] kellifer-fic.livejournal.com 2012-02-18 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
No, not at all - I love having comic canon peeps let me know what's up. I had no idea that Hawkeye was blind in some of the canon and that idea FASCINATED me. I actually feel it's more the other way where all the comic people are like, yes, we have been aware of this thing you are all now excited about for YEARS and I feel like a bit of a usurper. :D

"you are such a pain in my neck and yet also strangely hot". (Steve would be in favour of sex with Clint because it's a way to get Clint to stop talking. Essentially.)

Hahahaaa! Steve is all, wait, this is how I shut you up? Why haven't I been doing this since the beginning and Clint is all like, YES, WHY HAVEN'T YOU?? :DDD
