Day 12 Theme - Dealing With Adversity

[cmk418]

It's not all sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows for our favorite women in fandom. Sometimes they find themselves going head to head against people, organizations, or society's expectations, or find themselves in dangerous situations. Do they fight, freeze, or flee in these moments?

Please do not feel constrained by the themes. Anything focusing on women is welcome. You can post your work directly to the comm or as a comment on this post.

Dealing with Adversity: Natasha (MCU)

[impala_chick]

Natasha was supposed to be a killing machine, a weapon for someone else to use. Instead, she escaped a dangerous organization in order to fight for something bigger than herself - a world safer for everyone. Here are three of my favorite character study fanvids, one of them brand new!
