Because of the fact that Marvel debuted in the 1950s, people thought he was all of the -ics and -isms.
Marvel: *staring at a gay couple making out* “Ew.”
Robin!Tim: “Woah, man.”
Marvel: “What?”
Robin!Tim: “Look, I understand things were different for you back then, but times have changed. Being gay is accepted nowadays.”
Marvel: “I thought being happy was always accepted? Was being happy not good at some point?”
Robin!Tim: “No- uh being a homosexual is accepted nowadays.”
Marvel: “Oh. Well, that’s just dandy! All their protesting and fighting made a real difference, huh?”
Robin!Tim: “Yes!” *pauses* “You sound surprisingly happy about that.”
Marvel: “Why wouldn’t I be? Those people were treated like scum and were forced to protest basic rights. Isn’t that a good thing?”
Robin!Tim: “Yes, but you just said ew to them.”
Marvel: “Why wouldn’t I…? Those guys were full tongue kissing in public. It was disgusting. Like two dogs, lapping at each other’s faces.” *shivers*
or
Marvel: “Wait… So you were a girl that became a boy. Why?”
Trans Person: “Well, I just wanted to be one.”
Marvel: “Oh.” *stares a for a moment* “Well, you certainly did a good job. I wasn’t able to tell you were ever a girl at some point.”
Trans Person: “That’s kinda what the testosterone was for.”
Marvel: “Testosterone?”
Trans Person: “It’s something I take to become a boy.”
Marvel: “Wow… People have really come so far.” *sounds so amazed*
or
Female Hero: “What? Are you looking down on me?”
Marvel: “No-”
Female Hero: “I’ll have you know that women have come far from the lowly housewives you might’ve seen them as fifty odd years ago.”
Marvel: “Yeah… I know. You know I’ve worked with Bulletgirl, right? And Mary. All I did was comment about how you were being a little reckless, which you are being you’ve thrown and missed multiple cars at a singular villain. Why are you insulting housewives all of a sudden?” *sounds extremely concerned*
I’ve been logged out of my Spotify and didn’t save the password if I don’t get back in I’m going to cry I need my music
there's no way Professor McGonagall hasn't beat the shi out of Mrs. Norris when she was in her animagus form
I'm convinced that if Shang Qinghua decided to start writing and publishing after transmigrating, he would be like an invasive species. Like that cat that killed all the birds on that one island.
Airplane was a maniac who banged out 10k chapters while competing with millions of other writers on the attention market. This is a guy who had to know how to game the algo for attention if he wanted to have enough money for food.
And PIDW's world has what, maybe a few hundred people both literate and willing to write fiction? Airplane would eat these people for lunch. While they were poetically crafting new metaphors and delicately staging each scene, SQH would be creating the most id-stroking lowest common denominator trash imaginable.
He would not only smoke the competition, but introduce to this world every terrible, cheap trick of the hack writer. Everything ends in cliffhangers. Stakes constantly rising. Bullshit plot devices to contrive as much masturbatory emotional catharsis as possible. And he'd be selling like gangbusters.
You know what's surprising with Nalu is I think Natsu is more attracted to Lucy than she is to him
Like pushing my feminist to the side for a shameful moment, he only ever gets flustered and pleased when he sees her naked or when he some way or another ends up groping her (a lot more obvious in 100YQ)
(The fucking random chapter where they're in the stone age holy fuck 😭😭😭✋️✋️✋️)
He deadass attacked guys that were hitting on her at the train station
Says he finds her smell comforting (she's his canonical safe space lord have mercy)
Lucy gets flustered when Natsu closes in on her face when they dance, and when that kid (whose name I forgot lol) tried to force them to kiss
Lucy also gets flustered when he's naked, but any guy who is suddenly naked in front of her makes her embarrassed. Same with when he ends up landing on her boobs or something.
Lucy's attraction to Natsu is a lot more subtle and sometimes you can even interpret these teases as not special to Natsu specifically if you REALLY wanted to stretch it that way
From what I remember, Natsu flusters Lucy when he does something unexpectedly intimate or flirty, but when other guys do something similar (i.e. Loki) she's pretty stale about it
But Natsu now
It's Lucy or nothing LMAO
Like even when he semi-admits to having a crush on someone else- Anna Heartfilia- it is only so Mashima can reveal he is attracted to Lucy in the same way he was attracted to Anna before
When Lucy's drunk she's extremely clingy to only Natsu, while the usual oblivious Natsu is visibly flustered and nervous from her attention and proximity- WRITTEN AND ILLUSTRATED BY MASHIMA HIMSELF
Insane man
I love when power imbalance is brought up in relation to Bingqiu because two steps to the left, over in moshang, you would think that the demon prince that beats up his emotional support human minion is where it’s weird but Shang Qinghua is actually at least twenty years older and also the god of the world who designed the demon prince to be his ideal man.
Shang Qinghua also had at least two canon opportunities to kill MBJ with no repercussions and decided he was simply too hot to die.
MBJ is only as terrible as he wants to be because SQH spoils him rotten and moved with every intent to put him on the throne.
Captain Marvel is an odd guy, not rude or mean or off putting in any way he's just, odd
He's almost always hunched over, rarely starts a conversation usually speaks when spoken to, prefers to stand on the side, a huge people pleaser, as if he's afraid to say no to anyone
Dinah has seen this many times before
Trying to appear smaller, not speaking much, standing on the sidelines, always trying to make himself useful
There is no doubt
Captain Marvel was abused as a child
Dinah talked to the Justice League about this and their hearts broke
How could anyone hurt someone so kind and happy like Marvel, especially as a small defendless child
Billy is unaware how his unaccustomedness to his size as Marvel and akwardness affects the Justice League, he's just happy to be included in their group
Can’t write nalu angst where Lucy dies and Natsu’s left to grieve bc he’d simply kill himself. All of his “you don’t die for your friends, you live for them” moral would go out the window. He can’t see a life without Lucy — even if he wouldn’t actively kill himself he’d work himself to death. He wouldn’t have boundaries, he’d just keep going until there’s nothing left of him. In fact, he’s the type of guy who would become a total villain if Lucy died. Zeref style, trying to revive her, searching for any chance to get her back. When she’s still alive he thinks he’s above Zeref’s life choices — he thinks he would cope better than he did. But history repeats itself. Lucy dies and Natsu’s voice of reason dies with her.
“Hello Timmy, what a pleasure for you to join us”
Redraw of a Court of Owls Bernard piece. Because if we are going enemies to lovers with Tim and him I want it to be done right 😤
I wonder how many wives joined Bingges harem because they were secretly lesbians and living in a mansion filled with beautiful women is literally heaven.
Our husband is out fucking some other wife? Dw girl I'll go get the strap.
Listen I've always said that pidw must have had several threesome scenes to appeal to gooners, and of course Shang Qinghua went "dudes love girl on girl action, I'll write these women making out for fanservice before they have sex with Binghe"
But then Bingmei ends up being gay and monogamous and suddenly there are all these women single who have an instinctive desire to kiss and fuck each other and no husband to act as their comp het middle man
Shen Yuan: how are the Palace Mistress and Sha Hualing dating!?
Shang Qinghua: I mean they did straight up have sex in pidw
Shen Yuan: yeah, for Binghe's attention! It was straight sex with another woman!
Shang Qinghua: I think I'm starting to understand how your mind works
