if i give my heart to you
The Muppets are going to cover "Smells Like Teen Spirit" on the soundtrack to the new movie. I would really like to do a midnight show with fangirls for that (the movie, not the soundtrack), but as it's the night before Thanksgiving, I won't be in the city. If there are even going to be midnight shows. I mean, it's the Muppets. I feel that there should be.

I uploaded this for mousapelli, but if you're interested in Young Avengers, here's 1-7, 8-12, and YA Presents. (there's more, but that seems like enough to be starting out with.)
Young Avengers is about a group of teenagers who come together to fight bad guys after the actual Avengers are disbanded (I...don't know exactly why that happened but I don't think it's particularly important in this case). There are time-travel shenanigans, alien invasions, long-lost twins, a canon gay couple (Billy and Teddy, who are adorable), plus Kate Bishop, who is the badass normal of the group, and she is as badass as they come, and Eli Bradley, who is cranky and adorable and possibly my favoritest of them all, and also the grandson of the original, black Captain America, and thus, very aware of the burden and legacy of history, in a way most superheroes (let alone teen superheroes) are not. The adults are all pretty much "teenage sidekicks/superheroes, no!" (ah, the kicked puppy look on Steve's face every time the subject comes up warms my heart. dead sidekick angst ftw!) which is an interesting difference from the sanctioned superheroing shenanigans of, say, Young Justice or the Teen Titans.
Speaking of whom, I will also take this opportunity to once again rec the hell out of the Jaime Reyes Blue Beetle (and, um, one stray issue is here), about whom I have waxed rhapsodic before. (this is the non-rebooted version. accept no substitutes.)
If you like nerdy bug-men but are more interested in the really good but super-depressing Ultimate Spider-Man (the Peter Parker version), I can help you out with that, too. I don't have any of it currently uploaded, but I'm willing to share so if you're interested, drop me a comment.
These are all things I'm contemplating asking for/offering for yuletide (oh, so also, if you want the Rikki Barnes stuff, so you can write me some Rikki/Anya, I have some of that, too, though not currently uploaded; or Gotham Central, which should be required reading for everyone who likes police prodecural stuff and also has Renee Montoya, who is the best), so I'm not exactly being altruistic in my offer, but I feel like I have enjoyed these things a lot, and because of fandom, so consider this me returning the favor.
