The eighties had not been a fun time for Eddie Kaspbrak. In fact, he preferred to forget the decade altogether. The local top forty radio station begged to differ, though, and wouldn’t you know, that’s what most people wanted to listen to when he was chauffeuring them around in a limousine. Jackson, Collins, Benatar and Gabriel all competing to make Eddie relive the worst years of his life. His only reprieve came at home, in the privacy of his apartment, where he was free to listen to whatever he wanted, eat cereal for dinner, and turn in at nine thirty promptly.

Unless it was Thursday night.

Young Avengers meets Parks and Rec: Round 2 🔔  🔔

college x rivals

I wish that Rick became a mentor-like figure for teen superheroes, especially for the Young Avengers and Avengers Academy kids. I know that he’d probably be as useful as paperweight given that he doesn’t have any superpowers, and that idea would probably be ripping off Young Justice (i.e. Snapper Carr), but it could work! 

Just imagine him telling them stories about his adventures with the Hulk and ROM, and the whole Kree-Skrull War. Or teaching combat acrobatics like Captain America did when he was around their age and everything related to the superhero community - history, powers, strengths, weaknesses, rogue gallery, trivia facts not found on the Wikipedia page. Or form a support group for teen heroes who are orphaned, neglected, or abused, kinda like what he did briefly with The Loners in The Runaways before Marvel dropped the series.

tl;dr  “So much wasted potential” should be Marvel’s new slogan.

hc where stan mike and eddie are on a walk around the hanlon farm and it starts raining like crazy!! but instead of going to a nearby barn the boys decide to jump around and dance in the rain for as long as the rain lasts. once it’s over they go in and sit by the fire in their boxers with loads of blankets and watch Hercules (they all sing along, especially mike, he loves it!!). cute cute cute lil time for them all

Young Avengers fandom roll call

I’ve had a few conversations with people recently about the fandom - how it feels like conversations have died out, fanworks aren’t circulating the same way they used to, and how it’s a shame that there’s no real central hub of fandom conversation anymore – not the way LJ communities and mailing lists used to bring everyone to the same location. 

The lack of new material’s also obviously an issue, but new people are finding the series all the time. 

Tumblr’s not set up for it, and most people aren’t looking to add more social media networks to their daily lives, so I won’t bother proposing slack channels or dreamwidth communities, but I figure it’s worth sending a post around to try and make connections. 

So if you consider yourself a Young Avengers / New Avengers / Kate-Hawkeye / America Chavez fan (have I missed any books?), hit like or reblog. 

This is adamantly not a request for everyone to follow everyone else, but a way to get a sense of who’s still out there. Just because the platform sucks, it doesn’t mean we can’t pop out of our bubbles occasionally to say hi. ;) 

i love college aus where everyones a normal student but kate is still inexplicably a master archer
