Show idea: magical girl group but each girl is based on one of the seven heavenly virtues

People are scornful when a guy appears to not realize Women Are People until he gets married or has a daughter, but I think this is worth examining a little more closely.

when I read A Grief Observed by C.S. Lewis, I was really struck by his observations about gender. i wish I could remember the quote but he says something like, "do you really have a good relationship with your wife if you aren't almost inclined to call her Brother?" a lot of the things he said seemed like a contrast with the more "gender essentialist" ideas he espouses in for example Mere Christianity

And that's the thing, Mere Christianity and most of his well known fictional works were written before he was married, and the thing about a lot of writers we view today as sexist is that they hardly ever interacted with women as peers.

and like, of course someone would have these ideas about the Nature of Women in contrast to men when in their experience, women inhabit different and in many ways mutually unintelligible social worlds than men.

and of course even today many people make friends and acquaintances primarily among their own gender, and are in environments dominated by one gender or the other, and people insist that this is natural or better or more proper, and this allows people to make observations about the "opposite" gender as an outsider that hasn't had many equal-standing "peer" interactions with that gender

they're called human rights because you get them by being human. No ifs no buts. Everyone gets them. Yes even those people

tiktok is such an awful app, it's almost designed to feed you misinformation and expose you to insane discourse. unlike beloved tumblr, the app that feeds me misinformation and exposes me to insane discourse

Metropolis has one of the least corrupt police departments in the DCU, because some sneaky bastard reporter who looks like a nerdy lumberjack keeps sniffing out and exposing all the racists in the department. (This is because Superman, while not always listening, can always hear when one of them to start saying racist things and once he does he immediately starts investigating as Clark.)

Who watches the watchers? Some hulking bespectacled doofus, apparently.

YES the Thunderbolts have a fantastic team as family dynamic, yes they are living in Avengers tower, yes history is repeating itself and 2012 tower fics are so back. BUT!

instead of "Alexei eating poptarts" or "Yelena in the vents", we must come up with new headcanons and make history

Bob always does normal domestic chores, often getting in the way of important missions and spy business. "All I'm saying is Bucky is our best sniper" "It would be a much quieter assassination if I just slipped into the condo and cut his—" "Hey sorry guys, anyone have laundry? I'm doing a load"

Yelena and her guinea pig always eat meals together at the dining table. Everyone has their Chinese food or barbeque, meanwhile the rodent is loudly munching on a salad right beside them

Bucky is the mom and always keeps them on track. "Ava you have a dentist appointment in the morning, and bring Bob so they can add him to the insurance. Lena how was therapy? Alexei, I said no vodka until dinner"

Alexei is always coming up with new promotional ideas for the team. Cartoon tv show, cereal, toothpaste flavour...every day he thinks he's come up with the next big thing. Whenever they actually get put into production (Wheaties) he collects and saves it, and won't let anyone use a different product. (He threw out Yelena's frosted flakes and it took both Bucky and John to get her to stop attacking him)

Ava likes to phase and sneak attack her teammates at random. She claims it's for training but really she just thinks it's funny hearing them scream

John gets blamed for everything, even if it isn't his fault. Especially if it isn't his fault: "who ate the last bagel?" "John." "Where's my hair straightener?" "John had it." "Whose turn is it to unload the dishwasher?" "Johnnnn"

Can we find a sun god or diety from every timezone and make a map of them all?

au where Palpatine was actually a good person, the war ended quicker, and there was no empire. everyone retired or returned to normal Jedi-ing, Anakin got to raise the twins with Padmè and the order allowed it, Obi-Wan got to take a nap, Hondo was there and was a terrible uncle to Luke and Leia, Palpatine started a company that sold Sheev on a Shelfs, and Yularen got a new career in recording audiobooks (using Narrator Man Voice. his first book was anakin’s autobiography. he immediately retired)

Anakin’s autobiography would be amazing, and terrible. 

Main Themes: 

“I did Something Incredible and everyone agreed it was wizard”

Padme Amidala, The Most Beautiful Woman in the Galaxy Who Is Better Than All Of You 

No One Understands Me Because I Have More Feelings Than Any Person Who Has Ever Lived 

flowery descriptions of Obi-Wan every time he is mentioned (“I stood in the Council Room, where all of the masters were, including Master Kenobi, whose hair shimmered in the sunlight streaming in from the windows, and whose expression subtly hinted at his secret, powerful lust for me. He inquired as to why I was staring at him, and then when I blew him a kiss suggested that I leave because he felt that I was being disruptive.”)   

Stuff that definitely did not ever happen, even a little bit

someone: luke skywalker beat darth vader and ended the empire

everyone else in the galaxy:
