Mental fandemonium

Ever since seeing "The Avengers" (twice!) during opening weekend, my brain has been All Avengers, All the Time. Half my open tabs are Avengers-related.

Like, the latest Avengers party note on ONTD. Many, many hours were lost today to refreshing and saving off a crapton of GIFs. (It makes my heart twinge nostalgically for the crazy days of ONTD Star Trek, which was the last movie I fell this hard far. *sniff*)

There's this great analysis of screen time per Avengers character. How rocking is it that Black Widow is a close third behind the near-tie of Captain America and Iron Man?

Speaking of Black Widow, I must shamefully confess that I have never been up on Avengers canon (I was mainly an X-Men fan, and that was years ago), so with everyone dropping oblique references to the Red Room and Winter Soldier, I really appreciated this brief history on the subject.

Avengers icons, anyone? Lovely pieces there, but my stubborn "My way!" impulse means I'll probably wind up trolling through my *mumblety-hundred* MB of Avengers images and make some myself. Does that happen to anyone else?

I'm following multiple Avengers WIPs, guys. I never do WIPs. Except now. *sigh*

At least it keeps me distracted from the TV shows I killed off with my curse this year - Chuck (in denial - still haven't watched the finale), The Secret Circle, and Ringers. None of them were heartbreaking, but I did want to know what would happen next.

How about you all? Hooked by Avengers yet? Shipping anyone? Excited or crushed by the fates of your favorite TV shows? Inquiring minds want to know!
