happy pride month to those who are still in the closet due to their households or overall environments. your identity is still valid and i love you.

to kick off pride month i will say that jane from doom patrol is bi as fuck and there’s absolutely nothing any of you can do about it

Happy pride month time to watch that karaoke scene from doom patrol again

do you ever think about how perfectly steve, bucky, and sam typify the 3 big wars america’s fought in over the past century?

steve is the soldier who fought in world war 2. he’s the tail end of the glory and honor of war. his reasons for fighting are clear cut, moral, as far as he can tell. but the weapons used are too deadly, too fatal for glory and honor, really. there’s the attempt to treat enemy combatants with respect, with honor, all while killing them quick than has ever been possible before. there’s the unease of the shift from the old style of fighting to the new. there’s the tiredness that only comes from a second global war in only two decades. there’s the closure that comes from unprecedented total destruction. the thought of “maybe now we can go home. maybe now we can build lives like our parents, those of us that are left.”

bucky is the soldier who fought in vietnam. he’s the one that couldn’t dodge the draft, that couldn’t evade the fight no matter how hard he tried. he’s the one who followed the orders he had to, and rebelled against all the others. his uniform was askew, more civvies than not. he didn’t look a soldier, and he didn’t fight like one either. he didn’t know why he was fighting, who he was fighting. he saw too many innocents die by the hands of his comrades, of himself. he felt agent orange burn his lungs, saw orphans crying in the streets. he came home, the rat-a-tat of machine guns echoing in his ears, always. he disembarked a plane, and was spat on by anti-war protesters. he couldn’t even be angry– he agreed with them. he participated in the winter soldier investigations, confessed what he’d been forced to do, and that almost abated the weight on his shoulders. almost.

sam is the soldier who fought in afghanistan. the modern soldier, with just as much shit as the rest of them. the difference is, where steve was greeted with celebrations and bucky was greeted with vitriol, sam is overlooked, forgotten. he suffers in silence, expected to endure without protest. sam copes, but not all vets are able to do the same. afghan war vets are the ones who take their own lives in droves, the unacknowledged, unknown aftershocks from an invasion founded on half-formed ambitions from men in suits who’d never have to bear the real burden. sam is the modern day vet, unknown, unseen, unthanked.

History wants so badly for Cleopatra to be beautiful. Like they can’t conceive of Rome being intimidated by anything less

I'm nodding my head like I understand, but I'm ???

Someone please explain

Marvel Cinematic Multiverse

I hate this “no spoilers” culture that we live in right now. Producers and writers are so terrified of fans predicting the ending to their works to the point that they’re making nonsensical endings to their narratives. They’re messy, out-of-character, and outlandish, but, hey! at least they’re unpredictable!

Rian Johnson, The Last Jedi — completely ignored & disregarded the 3-film narrative arc J.J. Abrams has planned out for the sequel trilogy, and instead developed his own messy narrative full of subversions for the sake of subversion, and completely disrespected the legacy of Luke Skywalker’s character (Mark Hamill himself has reported several times that he doesn’t recognize the character).

Russos, MCU — give out fake scripts, actors play against green screens and are cut & pasted together in post, show fake/edited scenes in trailers, throw away previous character development (Thor, Ragnarok vs Infinity War and especially Endgame).

D&D, Game of Thrones — throw away a decade of foreshadowing and character development for shock value, not to mention they missed a whole ass Starbucks cup in a shot in 8x03 (either on set or in post, somebody should’ve noticed this).

I’m sick and tired of this. It’s not good writing, and it’s no longer entertaining to fans when the characters they know and love become complete strangers. There’s good shock value — “No, I am your father,” for example — and then there’s ignoring years of character development and turning a kind and caring character into a murderous maniac. There’s a difference, and I think writers still know what that difference is, but they’re pressured to create an ending that fans can’t predict because of this mass panic over “no spoilers”.

This needs to stop. Give me a happy ending. Who the fuck cares if we guess what comes next? That means the writers have done their fucking jobs. If we can guess what comes next that means the writers have successfully developed their characters and foreshadowed future events as you’re supposed to do in a well-written narrative.

No spoilers? Sure. I like to experience narratives without being spoiled. But don’t make the narrative unrecognizable by the ending. It’s just not good writing.

Look. I am going to need y’all to fuckin’ stop shitting on Sam Wilson getting the shield. 

In a country where young black men are still being gunned down for no goddamn reason. Where the president is a heinous racist. Where hate crimes are rising. We NEED Sam Wilson as Captain America. 

Young black boys deserve to see themselves represented in a kind, compassionate, genuine, strong, amazing character like Sam Wilson. 

Sam Wilson is the Captain America we need right now. 

Fuck you if you don’t agree. 

Psst, hey, hey you, yes you

Bruce Banner is alive

Natasha Romanoff is alive

Thor Odinson is alive

Clint Barton is alive.

👏TRUTH👏

Everyone saying that they would unstan because DK has a kissing scene in the musical he is starring in can gladly unstan now cause just saying that dumb ass statement before it even happened is reason enough that you are not mature enough to be their fan. You probably also would throw a shitstorm when they announce that they have girlfriends and would start throwing hate at the girl huh well go screw yourself then

Wonwoo, without looking up from his book: So wait, you’re telling me everyone thinks I’m either a prositute or a murderer?

Jeonghan: or both.

Wonwoo, calmly turning the page: well it looks like my business isn’t that hush hush. 

Jeonghan: I’m sorry what?????

Wonwoo, calmly: oh I trick men into paying me to sleep with them and then kill them, I thought you knew that?

This is so cute!

cliff helping baby doll with her pigtails ;_; 

whoever decided to make Cliff a dad in the show…god you’re valid.

Baby doll trusting Cliff is great,

I raise you baby doll and cliff having a tea party. Cliff covered in stickers, plastic beads bracelets and fuzzy boas as they clink glasses

Baby doll tells Cliff he needs to never take the braclet off she makes him; he agrees. And if he loses one in battle she happily makes a new one. Cliff can be seen admiring the colours and shapes even sometimes patting it for comfort.

Hammerhead sees Cliff with a bracelet once-it’s made of chunky sparkly horse shaped beads cause Cliff gives Baby doll horsie🐴 rides.

She wants to be mad, blow their top but hammerhead also knows that baby doll only makes those for people she trusts- she hadn’t made one in years- instead she gives him a half hearted grin and tells him it’s nice. Maybe he’s okay, maybe he can be trusted.

I'm sorry, but can we just look at this?

Thank you

“Daisy Johnson is bisexual,” I say into the mic.

The crowd boos. I begin to walk off in shame, when a voice speaks and commands silence from the room.

“She’s right,” they say. I look for the owner of the voice. There in the 5th row stands: Chloe Bennet herself

I'm literally crying right now

Rest in peace Oppy.

Awww💕💕💕
