mischief managed

[koncupiscence]

i didn't want to talk about this before it happened for fear of jinxing, or in case it just didn't work out, but OMGGGGGGG I SAW THE AVENGERS TODAY! /o/ \o\ /o/ \o/

IT WAS SO FUCKING GREAT, YOU GUISE!!! :DDDDDDDD

i'm so fucking thrilled for joss whedon. i feel like he really needed this WIN. imo, it was exactly what you would expect to see from joss - plus a shit-ton of explosions.

AND THE CAST. OH MY GOD. they are all so fabulous. and they each really do get their moments to shine. it was wonderfully balanced. (my heart, though, leans toward thor and loki, and ughhhhhhh it was not disappointed <3333333.)

SO FUCKING FABULOUS. I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT WAIT TO SEE IT AGAIN. MIDNIGHT SHOW GET HERE FASTER.

man, this has been A Day. it started at 4:50 am when my alarm went off (the first of two - i was REALLY concerned i might sleep through just one). stumbled to the shower by 5, coffee in my hand by 5:15, and out the door by 5:30. there wasn't even a smidge of daylight yet. buhhhhh. x_x

the screening started at 9:30, but they said to get there early, that not everyone was guaranteed to get in. we arrived shortly after 6:30 and didn't see a soul. we couldn't possibly be the most uncool people in LA showing up for this thing at ass-crack o'clock, right? there had to be bigger nerds out there than us. i mean, THE AVENGERS! well, sure enough, the line was on another floor, but still we were only about 40 people back? WE WERE MOST DEF IN. /o/ holy shit this was really happening. (as an aside, it was almost all dudes, though i did notice that the first person in line was a girl, so yeah! *high five*)

even with 5 layers, a hat, and scarf, i still managed to freeze for the next two hours, but whatever! worth it. not complaining. once we were seated inside ralph garman (from kroq radio) asked avengers-related trivia questions and handed out prizes. it went on for some time, and eventually, with camera crews standing around, it was clear he was stalling and we were waiting for someone. but, who?!

huzzah, joss whedon came out to introduce the movie! :D :D :D he made a few jokes, thanked the fans, and i thought cool! now let's get to the movie! but that wasn't all! clark gregg (agent coulson) and cobie smulders (other shield agent) were there as well! :D :D :D (ngl, at the first mention of clark i totally grabbed my friend's shoulder, bc holy shit i kind of adore him. <3)

so that was awesome and i was totally excited (clark!) and ready to watch the movie. BUT THAT WASN'T IT.

THROUGH THE CONTINUED ENTHUSIASTIC APPLAUSE I HEARD THE WORD "VILLAIN" AND KIND OF WHITED OUT FOR A MINUTE. O_O NO FUCKING WAY. NO WAY. IT'S NOT FUCKING POSSIBLE.

TOM FUCKING HIDDLESTON WAS JUST A FEW ROWS IN FRONT OF MY FACE YOU GUYS I ALMOST DIED. DIED! and then chris hemsworth walked out too and they were standing next to each other all smiles and brothers and next to each other in front of my face and what is my liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiife. x_o

so yeah. that happened.

we weren't allowed any electronics, but here is a photo from the internet.



oh! and i forgot to mention, when standing in line they were handing out toy props from the movies - a hulk fist, cap's shield, and i got THOR'S HAMMER.

mjolnir, which now sits on my mantle. BEST BEST. :D



and now i'm about to fall over. those were a lot of emotions to deal with on just a few hours of sleep. but it was ao amazing. eternal thanks to my friend m for thinking of me. <3333

ugh. i needed this day. ♥


eta: what is with these cut-tags, LJ? >:[

OH MY ACTUAL GOD.

:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

I am so glad you got to GO. Also SO excited for it to open. *wiggles impatiently*

[koncupiscence.livejournal.com]

the smiles were ABUNDANT yesterday omg. :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

(and i know this is going to sound ridiculous, but the wait for it to open oddly feels WORSE for me now, i want to see it again so badly! /o\)

[http://users.livejournal.com/desertelf_/]

I read this to my hubby, a HUGE Avengers fan, and he is literally turning green over here at your luck. I'm so glad you had a great time!!!

[koncupiscence.livejournal.com]

awww, just a few more weeks and he can go cheer his face off too! :D i haven't actually read any of the avengers comics, so i can't testify how close/different it is to those, but this was (mostly) a room full of readers and they definitely seemed to enjoy the hell out of it. :D

[secrethappiness.livejournal.com]

super jelly (and excited)!

[koncupiscence.livejournal.com]

i was a bit nervous for joss going into it (similarly, but to a lesser extent, when i watch an orlando film), because it's a lot to pull off. but he did it. he really did!

[drinkingstars.livejournal.com]

Hdtosgkgkglhjjashiiofdhkbfa!!!!!!!!

[koncupiscence.livejournal.com]

WAS PRETTY MUCH MY RESPONSE YES O_O

[yourealwaysmine.livejournal.com]

amazing. i'm so glad you got to do this!

[koncupiscence.livejournal.com]

oh birah, i wish you could have been there. i would have been clinging to you so hard and dying from feels. ♥

[msilverstar]

YOU GOT A HAMMER!!!!

And a closeup encounter with some of your favorites, yay!!!

[koncupiscence.livejournal.com]

i was so worried i was going to get a hulk fist (no offense, banner), but then she pulled out a hammer! FAAAAVORITE. :D

[tarteaucitron.livejournal.com]

omg krit, YES. YES.

:O

[tarteaucitron.livejournal.com]

(my heart, though, leans toward thor and loki, and ughhhhhhh it was not disappointed <3333333.)

\o/

[koncupiscence.livejournal.com]

i thought of you A LOT, tartest! ♥ we will talk after the fourth. *fist in mouth*

(ion BH episode 8 is on my dvr, but must wait for tonight. eeeeeeep.)

[tarteaucitron.livejournal.com]

it actually opens in 11 days over here - i am going to see it with louiselux the weekend after next! i am so excite, esp. now after seeing your reaction. \o/\o/\o/\o/\o/

oh, episode 8. the motherlode! arm yourself well, kritmost. <333

[koncupiscence.livejournal.com]

as i mentioned below, even if the quantity of thor/loki is not to your liking (bc we will always want more), i really think the quality is there. and if you're still not satisfied, there is always THOR 2 coming our way! :D


gin at the ready :|

[tarteaucitron.livejournal.com]

quality interactions are waaay more important than a hundred undelicious* scenes together, imo. :D oh man, i can't wait for the inevitable surge of fanfictions!

*although it's probably inaccurate to describe any chemsworth/thiddleston scene as "undelicious", right?

[koncupiscence.livejournal.com]

undelicious? incomprehensible.

ion, "i already have a television the size of a bed sheet." :DDDDDDDDDDD <-- full of gin face

ALWAYS BE KIND AND POLITE AND HAVE MATERIALS TO BUILD A BOMB

[koncupiscence.livejournal.com]

;______________;


'cause you me best mate ;_;

[tarteaucitron.livejournal.com]

amazeballs. how did you cope, bb?

ugh. so many feels. i was crying like the angel falls by the end, but so much brilliance.

ALWAYS BE KIND AND POLITE AND HAVE MATERIALS TO BUILD A BOMB

best motto ever.

[koncupiscence.livejournal.com]

i was a soggy, soggy mess, and it was the best. ♥


now i need all the fic. internet! *clap clap*

[an-cat-dubh.livejournal.com]

Does that mean my heart will be thoroughly satisfied by the amount of Thor and Loki present? *hopes*

[koncupiscence.livejournal.com]

i think so? i mean, it's REALLY balanced well. it feels like there's a lot of moments for everybody, which is great! i went in with pretty low expectations (re: what we'd get from thor/loki) so as to not be too disappointed. but even if the quantity isn't there for you, i think the quality certainly is. and if you still want more (duh, we ALWAYS want more) not to worry, THOR 2 is on the way! :D :D :D

[laughing-baubo.livejournal.com]

This is the most happy making post I have read in forever and ever and I'm grinning from ear to ear and I love you and OMG you were in the same room with Thor and Loki omgOMG! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Does the hammer make sound effect noises? How big is it?

[koncupiscence.livejournal.com]

I NEVER EXPECTED *THAT* TO HAPPEN OMGOMG. they're so prettyyyyyyyyyyyy *_*

here is a photo with my hand for scale! :D and yes the top lights up blue and it makes thunder-ish sounds. :D it also shoots out blue torpedo ~things~ from that top ring. IDEK *hands* :D

[laughing-baubo.livejournal.com]

oh! It's big! I thought it would be a weeny teeny little thing!

My envy, let me show you it.

[koncupiscence.livejournal.com]

guess i know what i'll be for halloween this year! time to ASSEMBLE a costume. :D

[laughing-baubo.livejournal.com]

So is it wrong that I'm now wondering what a set of Avengers costumes would look like gender switched and drawn by Alphonse Mucha?

*dreamy*

[berreh.livejournal.com]

Oh, I love it! Yay!! \:D/ This is best ever and I am so happy for you. wooooooot \o/

[koncupiscence.livejournal.com]

sometimes the universe isn't a complete bag of dicks! /o/ and i'm still beaming two days later. :D :D :D

[philosiraptors.livejournal.com]
