REVIVING AN OLD MUSE

[neveracoward]

The idea was poor the first time, and the execution even worse.

You have an entire pile—literally, a pile too big to fit in one plastic bag—of reading to do. That's simply a start. And what are you doing? You're watching Iron Man like it's still relevant. You know how I feel about him, so I can't help but think this is a slight against me. I am not to be insulted. Having to deal with a human at the wheel is offensive enough, but you keep managing to dig your grave so deep I'm not sure any type of submarine can handle the pressure.

If you're serious, turn off the movie, and do your necessary refresher.

[you can do both at the same time, you know]

And here I thought I was suited to retirement. Clearly, I've underestimated you.

[manofice]

I almost feel bad for you, Mystique.

[neveracoward]

You're not the first to tell me that.

How are you, Robert? Not pining after me, are you?

[manofice]

Pining after you? Right. Only a crazy person would think that.

[He snaps his fingers.]

Oh wait, I forgot who I was talking to.

[weshouldnthaveto]

Good luck getting your mun to listen.

[neveracoward]

[Oh look. It's the other her. The scaly one. Eyes narrow slightly; she's never run into another her like this before. The only ones were...petite blondes who would rather stay in their Valley Girl bodies than embrace their mutation.

Which means that you, madam, are cool.]

Well, well, this isn't something that happens everyday, is it?

[weshouldnthaveto]

[She is forever cool. This should be obvious. Also judging you forever because clothes. Girl, seriously?]

Yes. Quite often.

[flipkicking]

['sup, bamf buddy]

It always does feel like you've just gotten comfortable on the back-burner when they pull you out again.

[neveracoward]

[Well, hello again, you beautiful badass.]

You too, Miss Valentine?

[flipkicking]

[glad to know being blonde again isn't too much of a turnoff]

Not officially, but I have a sense for it at this point. [That, and, y'know, there is a new game coming out in the fall God why] I'm pretty sure I won't be so inactive much longer.

You're just jealous because the third movie Stark was in was actually good.

[neveracoward]

[Oh, aren't you pretty.]

Good? It was not good. It was mediocre. It only worked so well because fans pay big money to see hot, attractive actors beefed up and filling out spandex and leather, and they had plenty of that.

Maybe you're just jealous of Wade Wilson in the movie about Logan. Why don't we talk about that? I'm sure it's just your favorite cinema masterpiece, right?

[headpool]

Keep telling yourself tha-

Waita minute...

HEY! That movie was retconned out of existence and you know it! Besides, there hasn't been a Marvel Zombies movie yet, so they haven't got the chance to get to me yet!

[tinfoil_angel]

Humans aren't a completely terrible lot you know.

I can't say that for military generals but you know they're practically the worst of the lot.

[neveracoward]

What do military generals have to do with anything?

[tinfoil_angel]

Personal experience. Either wanted me dead or as a glorified gun.

[crawler_kid]

Don't reckon you'd ever retire, Grandma. Mama says you're too stubborn to know when to quit.

[neveracoward]

[UH]

I'm sorry, did you just call me Grandma?

[purge_the_weak]

Agreed. Coming out of retirement is bothersome. Coming out of retirement AND the afterlife, even more so.

[neveracoward]

Wouldn't know. I'm not dead.

[knowsbetter]

Would you rather have your mundane watch the third X-Men feature?

[neveracoward]

[Oh, why don't you blow her?]

She doesn't have it, nor will she ever.

Why, does yours torment you with Rise of the Silver Surfer?

[manofiron]

Hey. What'd I ever do to you?

[neveracoward]

[KEYWORDS BUDDY]

Kept that damn reactor in your chest too long, you might say.

Hello again! I think...

[smashing_good_time]

...

Every time I see you, the only thing you ever do is complain.

[It's kind of annoying ya know.]

not_so_jolly on lj, right?

[neveracoward]

Oh, Hulk. How I've missed you.

[No seriously. She just met MCU Bruce and he doesn't like you and that makes him a loser. Come to mama.]
