Trailer's FINALLY out (two days ago)!

It's funny how it took me 2 days to finally calm down (a bit) to share this wonderful piece of a tease that is the first Captain America: Civil War trailer. 

I have watched this on loop more times than I cared to count. I am barely holding onto my sanity as it is.

I won't explain what is up with the hype, especially to those who are not fans of comic-based films, because I respect those people. However, I am more than happy to share the joy and excitement with my fellow fantards. Who wants to watch with me?

Realize

“Thank you, but you know that I like someone else, right?”

“I know,” she replied with a smile not reaching her eyes.

She holds onto her composure as they bid farewell.

Away from prying eyes, she locks herself in the shower, letting the cold spray hit her. Everything falls apart as her emotional dam breaks, making her sob, tremble, and gasp – for air, for understanding. She slides down to the cold wet floor, dry-heaving, pressing her palm to her closed eyes until she sees colors burst, as if not seeing the world will make her invisible.

“No more what-ifs, then.”

Bachelorette's Pad

I was lounging on my couch on a Tuesday night. With the television off, I could hear the humming of the air-con unit, the quiet drip of the still-faulty faucet (note: get that fixed, again), and the barely audible whoosh of a distant passing car. It was oddly quiet in my flat, but I accepted it as reprieve to finish reading my paperback. A faint shuffling of tiny feet brought me out of my reverie. Then, my black-and-white piebald cat with claws out pounced onto my belly, rubbed her cheeks everywhere and meowed stubbornly, as if saying: “Feed me, human!”

Childish Whim

Late last year, my sister and I started fancying several actors in the Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise. (Though "fancying" should be substituted with "crushing hard". Probably.) Particularly, Chris Evans as Captain America and Sebastian Stan as Winter Soldier, among the other amazing actors and actresses in the films, captured our hearts in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. (It should be noted, though, that Evans had my heart when he starred as Jake Jensen in The Losers years ago.) In other words, we became passionate fangirls of the humongous MCU fandom. (Alas, my endless list of fandoms!)
