Here’s my Nick Fury-centric mood board for the wonderful @navaan, who won one of my @marvelfans4blm​ auctions and donated to the NAACP LDF! I was very happy to find out that navaan adored Fury as much as I do and she wanted a Fury mood board. She had a few ideas, but she settled on Fury, Carol, and Maria being a little family after the events of Captain Marvel. 

We both imagined that Fury and Carol, with everything they get up to at SHIELD and in space, respectively, like having a place to come back to, where they can find comfort, security, and peace in between missions. Fury would keep his family in Louisiana a secret; he would want to protect the Rambeaus and Carol for their sake as well as his because they mean more to him than he’d ever admit out loud. (A few people at SHIELD know about Carol, but they don’t know the bond she and Fury have. He keeps his mouth shut about Monica when she eventually joins SHIELD even though he’s her Uncle Nick. Maria is unsurprised by all this.)

Anyway, I wanted to keep the colors of this mood board warm and dark; black is obviously Fury’s signature color and golden light for intimacy and coziness. :) I love this little family so much! Thanks so much for the prompt, navaan. 

OH MY GOD, @nostalgicatsea. This is PERFECT. I LOVE IT SO MUCH! THANK YOU!! This is exactly what I was imagining for all the missing years between Captain Marvel and the Fury we meet later. 💕❤ I love that you chose the warm colors for the happy family moments. That is very fitting and transports so much emotion, especially for a guy who we see as the more calculating, jaded SHIELD director with a good understanding for his people who despite all of it cares a lot.

Uncle Fury is absolutely my FAVE thing and this captures the mood of found family so perfectly. It’s jsut exactly how I want it and it gives me all the happy family-missing scene vibes.

It was also super fun to talk to you about all this and find I’m not alone with my adorarion for MCU Nick Fury and the different sides of him we get to see across movies. Thank you very much for the fun mood board it put me even more in a Fury love mood. 😍

Reblog if you think fanfiction is a legitimate form of creative writing.

I know I’ve said it before but I will always reblog this as the most tender, pure, selfless scene. It was quiet moments like this where Tony was an amazing human being that make me love Iron Man, not him being a billionaire genius playboy. Just trying to teach a broken person the concept of low stakes, no pain human connection and fun.

Her broken little smile and nervous fingers. She desperately wants approval even if she’s tough enough to rip your head off. With the avengers she heals.

THE SMASHING OF 2 AVENGERS FANDOM TAGS

Hi there, Marvel fans!

Your friendly neighborhood Marvel wranglers are here to bring you some news and a little bit of tag wrangling history. As the title of this post hints, there are going to be some changes regarding two Avengers fandom tags: The Avengers - Ambiguous Fandom and The Avengers (Marvel) - All Media Types.

WHAT’S HAPPENING?

The Marvel team will be dismantling the The Avengers - Ambiguous Fandom (AF) and The Avengers (Marvel) - All Media Types (AMT) tags and flattening them into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) tag to help make it easier for users to filter for Avengers works \o/

The MCU tag, in the Archive, is the top level tag for all movies and series independently produced by Marvel Studios.

WHY?

About 20 Marvel movies ago, before the first Avengers movie even happened and when metatags had just become a thing in the Archive, wranglers were faced with a Situation: two users had tagged their work with a plain “Avengers” tag to mean the 1960s British spy show while everyone else using the tag meant Marvel.

Since metatags were still pretty exciting, wranglers thought they had the perfect solution for this ambiguity issue! They just needed to create the AF tag to let users know wranglers weren’t sure if those works were about the British spy show or Marvel. The AMT tag was also created due to a bit of ambiguous tagging between Marvel fandoms. With both tags, the majority of uses have always been for MCU works–the AMT tag has also been thought of as interchangeable with the MCU tag, even though it is its own separate thing.

As we can see now, creating these two tags did not solve any ambiguity issues. They just made it harder for users to filter for and find works. Keeping in mind that both tags are mostly used for MCU works, and in consultation with the British spy show wrangler, we are going to gently Hulk smash the AF and AMT tags and make them synonymous with (i.e. fold them into) the MCU tag!

This means that works tagged with AF and/or AMT will not show up as crossover works when filtering anymore and will instead show up in the tag that the vast majority of users actually mean: MCU. \o/

WILL MY WORKS ALSO BE SMASHED?

They won’t! You do not have to worry about your works getting lost. They will still show up when filtering for MCU tagged works, since AF and AMT will be made synonymous with the MCU tag. Even so, here are some steps you can take if you want to be sure your work is tagged with the specific fandom it belongs to:

By following these steps, it will make things easier for users who are searching for a specific Marvel/Avengers related canon to find your works \o/

Thank you for coming on this 10-year journey with us and keep avenging!
