so gemma was orpheus all along. when she looked back, called mark’s name, and asked him to come home.. innie mark realized he had no feelings for this woman. if she had stayed facing forward maybe the allegiance to his outie would have won out. but gemma turning around made him hesitate long enough for helly to appear. and when she called his name.. it was game over. eurydice embraced the underworld with open arms.
big compilation some of doc ock x rosie fantasy au art bc this story is dear to me
I feel like sigma would have absolutely insane stories from being an astronaut. I think he would only talk a bit about them if he found them relevant but it always catches everyone off guard (I think people would have this perception of him not having many crazy stories due to being a civilian/not having combat experience for most of his life) but sometimes something will happen and he’ll say “oh this is just like the time an experiment exploded and it vaporized the guy a few meters in front of me and we all almost died” or “you know they really tried to test everyone’s personality to make sure that they’d get along with everyone else but once in a while you’d still get a few duds, such as the one time another astronaut said he’d drain all of another astronauts blood and drink it and you’d never guess what happens next” or “once we were confronted with someone begging us to let them in from the cold abyss of space and they kept saying that they were one of us but that person was already onboard with us and kept trying to assure us that the other person wasn’t real. Anyways I wonder what they’re doing now”

All that’s left Adrift for fifty years.
I have been thinking quite a lot about how fandom’s rampant aphobia factors into Reed hate, probably because I recently discovered that a Marvel artist had vilified Reed in the past over on Twitter by claiming that he is an asshole who thinks of his wife as “just a friend,” as though it somehow would make his love for her less valuable or important if he did. So I’m going to talk about the ways in which Reed has been coded as ace within Fantastic Four canon, and how he is troublingly framed as strange, abnormal, and Other both by official FF canon and fandom over this ace-coding. To be clear, Reed has never been explicitly called ace in canon, but there are moments where it’s been made abundantly clear that he does not experience sexual attraction and that he is fairly ambivalent about sex.
It does bear pointing out that Reed DOES love his wife romantically—if you’ve ever read FF comics, that much is fairly obvious:
I love you, Susan. You bring light…and life…and joy…and meaning to my days. Now and forever.

But the fact that he doesn’t behave like a stereotypical heterosexual man—in possession of a high libido, sexually aggressive, obsessed with sex, constantly sexualizing and hitting on and competing over women the way Ben and Johnny do, etc.—means that, in many people’s eyes, Reed’s love for his wife is somehow lacking and not really love. Personally, I think it factors quite a lot into people’s arguments that Reed is “abusive” for “neglecting” his wife, which he simply is and does not do in canon. The implication is that it’s because of his lack of sexual attraction and low sex drive – Reed “owes” Sue sex because he’s her husband, the thinking goes, and his failure to provide it consistently means that he is failing in his husbandly duties. The aphobic notion that aces are abusive to their allo partners because they “withhold” sex is, unfortunately, old and familiar, and it is coercive and, worst of all, encourages rape. Unfortunately, it’s not an interpretation of Reed’s behavior that hasn’t been encouraged in official FF media – take, for instance, this exchange:
Just think of the technological marvels that ancient spaceport might hold, darling!

Ah Vander...
I'm still cracking up over this one line!
Vander has seen Silco turn a teen into a monster who killed 5 armed enforcers, the sheriff and then Benzo, got knocked out and dragged here, heard Silco's passionate speech, and he still seems to think that Silco could possibly be satisfied with just killing him.
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE, VANDER??
What have you done to Silco, that you believe that he might stop everything he's got going and call it quits after killing you?
The more I look at this sentence and the more it feels like Vander has this sort of... self important perception of who he is, or what he means to Silco.
Vander betrays a massive lack of understanding for Silco's dreams and passions, which is sort of heartbreaking, and feeds my perception of a young Vander who was always more in on it for himself than for ideals or true beliefs.
Vander would settle for personal revenge. Vander understands revenge more than anything else, because even after Silco's speech, he *still* believes that deep down it's all this is really about.
It hints at a young Vander who was full of rage and violence, but devoid of ideals. Silco thought he'd shared his dream with him, but he only gave him a direction to channel his anger, a conduit for his violence. Vander, I think, never really cared for a free Zaun, or never believed in it. That probably made betraying Silco that much easier, back then.
Silco asks him if he's forgotten, and he hasn't. He simply never really believed.
You’re wondering what my first reactions were to taking the old man under my wing? Y'know, it didn’t turn out to be as straightforwards as I thought it would be. I underestimated his title as the “town madman”, though calling him mad was a bit of a harsh word. The gentle folks of Ironclad weren’t usually the exaggerating type. That should have been my first clue.

Doomfist must have to deal with a lot of shit in Talon between everybody. Like a 7 foot tall HR manager. Could we get sone interractions reflecting this?
I love Beleaguered Manager Doomfist so much you don’t even know.

Sombra: Exactly.

Doomfist: Ideology must always come first, Moira, I know we can agree on that. Though I must ask, does the R&D department really need six different acid tubs?

Sigma: Yes, but it’s the principle of it---and I find the gesture calming.
Doomfist: *sigh* I’ll look into it.
