I lost a huge reply when the page reloaded itself. *sigh* On the plus side you're probably getting a shorter reply. Maybe.

I have a lot of favorites in the comic universe. I'm a big fan of the (former) Young Avengers like Kate Bishop (Hawkeye); Tommy Shepherd (Speed -- they could have done so more with him); Billy Kaplan (Wiccan/Demiurge, who, because comics are weird, is the reincarnated son of Scarlet Witch/Wanda Maximoff and twin brother to Tommy); America Chavez (who's answer to anything is punch everything), etc. On the X-Men side I really like Emma Frost; Ororo Munroe (Storm); Quentin Quire (Kid Omega -- his development was the best thing to come out of Wolverine & The X-Men besides the Idie-Broo friendship); Alex Summers (Havok, the only reasonable Summers brother), Pietro Maximoff (technically he's on the Avengers/X-Factor side more), and Gambit is growing on me.

For MCU, I still love Hawkeye. MCU!Clint is based off of Ultimates (earth-1610) Clint Barton, who is a badass assassin/soldier who is super competent. Versus 616!Clint, who is awesome and funny and kind of a mess but definitely has a killing is the last resort policy. Most my Hawkeye fights are MCU based where I try to explain no matter how cool Matt Fraction's version of 616!Clint is (with the Tracksuit Mafia, the Pizza Dog, and the awesome friendship with Kate Bishop) he's still not the basis for MCU!Clint. [Fanon!Clint might drive me a little bit nuts.] I've been a fan of Jeremy Renner since pre-The Hurt Locker (2008), which definitely helps.

Outside of Hawkeye, there's Sam Wilson (who I love in comics, where he decided, upon taking over Captain America, that a political neutral Cap in an America that's destroying itself is bullshit). I really like Anthony Mackie's take no bullshit version of Sam in the movies.

Steve Rogers has really grown on me. He's a sanctimonious dick in the comics, no question, but Chris Evans' version of the character has made a Cap that is both moral and not a dick about it. I really like Evans in general too, though, esp in Puncture and Snowpiercer.

Daisy Johnson/Skye (Quake) is made of awesome. Her development through S2 and S3 of AoS is easily the best thing about the show. I also really like Grant Ward and Lincoln Campbell so I'm not over what the show did to either of them. I'm going to be bitter for a while that Grant didn't get a redemptive arc despite everyone else getting second or third chances (including Hyde, a serial killer!).

My favorite Netflix Marvel character is Jessica Jones, hands down. I was really skeptical of Ritter in the role, as I only knew her from Veronica Mars, but she rocked it. And Jones is a female antihero of the likes that we almost never see. This is a male role that they put a woman in, a rape survivor at that, and just knocked it out of the park. So believable. So fucked up too.

Luke Cage is probably my second choice. I really like what they've done with them and I'm super excited about his first series in September. Cannot wait.

I'm not as sold on Matt Murdock. I like Charlie Cox in the role. I think he's done really well with what he's given and I have to give him props for so successfully pulling off a blind character, which has to complicate his acting X1000. But I have trouble getting a feel for him and he's felt really hypocritical right up until his series two finale confession with Elektra, which is my favorite Daredevil moment thus far. While I liked Kingpin in S1 I think the addition of Elektra and Frank Castle really gave the series a depth it needed. I will say it has some of the best fight sequences on television.

I'm one of the few people I know who wasn't a big fan of Deadpool. I'm glad it was made. I'm glad we'll get another one. Ryan Reynolds is perfect in the role and he did great with the material he was given. But for 'not your average superhero movie' it was super formulaic, which detracted from the character in my eyes. I did love the TNW cameo (supporting character?), though. So much.

So, why are Daredevil and Deadpool your favs? Do you watch AoS? If so, who's your fav there?

If you're interested in learning more about HTML and CSS coding I highly recommend this link, which talks about starting out and links to the great CodeAcademy, and csstutorial.

For ASL, I'd suggest lifeprint. Unless you need credentials it's free and based on self-study. There's a forum where you can connect to others who are willing to Skype and practice. There's another resource website that I cannot find the freaking link to but I'll comment with it if I think of it. But if you want to refresh your skills this is a good place to go that's actually free and not just free for the very basic lessons.

I mostly draw Marvel/MCU characters because comics-style is much easier to practice with than realistic portraiture. I also draw cats (my favorite thing) and owls (because pretty). I've been getting into zentangle because it's pretty relaxing to do while I'm watching Netflix or the like. Plus, zentangle owls are very pretty (not mine but look how pretty that is). I much prefer oil-based coloured pencils at the moment over markers or even my oil pastel sticks/chalks. EcoCity makes an set of 72 that's good if you want a soft, blendable pencil and it's easily the best value for its cost since it's often about 60% off (like now). I'm not much into painting.

Do you draw? If so, what?

Also, I retyped almost everything so, yes, this is still shorter than the original comment would have been *facepalm*

Thanks for being interested, though, and i hope this wasn't too much information. [Edit: If you have an intro thread here already, please link it. If not, feel free to link it in the future. That is if you're not scared off yet.]

Sure! Here is the link for the gifs. Super helpful for learning how to start and learning the basic stitches. In terms of YouTube videos, I just searched how to crochet and watched like the first 5 videos I saw. This was the very first one I saw. It's clear, goes slowly, and it's pretty easy to see what she's doing with her hands. If you're left handed, she has a video on how to do it left handed as well. One of my first projects was this scarf. Honestly it turned out pretty crooked and lumpy, hahah. It takes a bit of practice to get the tension and the gauge right. For your first project I'd start with something simple like a scarf, or a hat, or coasters, etc.

In terms of materials you'll need, there's [this](LIHAO 22pcs Mixed Aluminum Handle Crochet Hooks Knitting Knit Needles Weave Yarn Set https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QF75NF4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Ar.Hxb0PRWNT4) set of hooks good for starting. I still use them tbh. The different sizes are useful for different sizes of yarn/different projects. I've used the bigger sizes for thick hats and the smaller sizes for making stuffed animals, aka amigurumi. Usually the yarn or the pattern will say what size hook you need. /r/crochet is really nice about helping people with questions! Feel free to pm me with any questions or anything too, though I'm still a bit new to it as well. :) I hope you enjoy it!

Wow. I hope you liked it.

OK - here are some other good ones

Mask of Zorro
Braveheart
The Mission
Con Air - good guitar motivational music
Inception
Lord of the Rings

If you like soundtracks enough, eventually you'll find that you have a favorite composer. For me, I generally like anything by Howard Shore or Hans Zimmer.

Edit1 - and now I'm listening to the Inception soundtrack...look what you've made me do!
Edit 2 - and now I've totally gone down the rabbit hole. I found these playlists on Amazon Prime.
