#I'm not a marvel blog

[steviebunny]

Why do you still interact and follow marvel blogs if you're not a marvel blog anymore?

I'm going to assume you meant this genuinely because if not, that's kind of a weird question.

I don't even think I really interact with marvel blogs that much anymore... But regardless, just because I'm no longer actively in a certain fandom (honestly, I'm not all that active on Tumblr at all anymore, unfortunately.) But people are allowed to be fans of multiple things at once, my blog especially-

I'm a huge fan of crossovers. I feel a lot more connected to fandoms like Hannibal and Interview with the Vampire at this point in my life then I do with marvel because it's just not my current happy place. The fandoms I am in now genuinely make me happy in a way marvel hasn't for a while. That doesn't mean I still don't like it, it was a huge part of my life and will continue to be, that also doesn't mean I no longer respect or admire the much more skilled writers that I am mutuals with like @hansensgirl or @boop-le-snoot.

rdj the (whitewashed) electric boogaloo

This is a reminder to everyone who's excited about RDJ's casting as Doctor Doom that this casting is whitewashing. Victor Von Doom is a Romani character and has been a Romani character since his introduction in the 1960s. (Fantastic Four Annual #2 [1964]) Not only that, but his Roma identity and the persecution he and his family faced due to it is integral to his character, it is what forms his identity. (Books of Doom by Ed Brubaker) Even if on the off chance this casting is meant to not be Victor but instead be some variant of Tony or whomever else becoming Doctor Doom, it is damaging to the character to rob him of that important cultural background. Doctor Doom does not exist without that history. Fans have been pushing hard to cast Doom as a Romani actor for years, especially since the MCU has whitewashed other Romani characters. (Wanda, Pietro, etc) This casting is not a celebration moment, it's fucking heartbreaking that the MCU repeatedly ignores the important and nuanced cultural backstories of characters.

I know I can't change anybody's mind on whether or not you want to be excited about RDJ's return to the MCU. But I do think at the very least you should be mad that the MCU is baiting us all and destroying nuanced and interesting characters for the sake of self-referential easter eggs and nostalgia bait. Because that's what it is. Feel how you'd like to feel about RDJ's return, but personally, this is soul-sucking. I had such a deep love for the MCU as a teenager, it was obviously something incredibly formative to me, especially Tony Stark. This isn't recreating what I fell in love with the MCU for. This is turning a well-planned and artistic storyline of adaptations into cheap cash grabs and fan service. Because, I think we're past the point of being able to call the MCU an adaptation of anything. They can use existing characters' names and powers, but to say they're being properly adapted is laughable.

This is not an adaptation of Doctor Doom. This is RDJ the Electric Boogaloo because Marvel's fear of losing the interest of dedicated MCU fans overrides their willingness to tell stories that are genuine to the characters. I don't know what there is to be excited about that. The MCU has lost its authenticity and aside from a few projects, feels heartless. Every movie is a copy of a copy. This announcement isn't something celebratory, it feels like a death knell of a cinematic universe that's so desperate to cling to relevancy it's resorting to nostalgia for a character/actor who hasn't even been dead for a decade. We're not getting anything new, we're just rinsing and repeating the same song and dance.

I get it. I love Tony Stark, his death destroyed me and I to this day, rue the ending he got in Endgame. It misunderstood his arc and it robbed him of a satisfying conclusion. But the solution to that isn't dragging the corpse out of the grave five years later to whitewash an existing character with rich and interesting nuance, just to forcibly tie his existence in the MCU to Tony. Whether he is a variant or not. Why would you want someone else's fave's legacy to be destroyed simply so your fave's legacy can go on? Hell, if we were really all so hellbent on the return of RDJ and/or Tony to the MCU, we have the multiverse for a reason. There were other ways to do it that didn't whitewash and ruin someone else. This just. Isn't something to be happy about.

I am so drained of all energy and motivation I do not know what to do anymore. I just finished my finals and I'm so relieved and tired but also scared for the results, I need to shift so bad but I know I'm gonna make it out of here. I promise myself that. The urge to off myself is so bad rn but I'm pushing through and I'm getting through it. I trust myself, I just felt the need to say this for some reason but I miss my s/o sm hes been my only comfort recently. I just want to be in his arms rn, I'll be so happy with him. Hes going to heal me, I know it. Anyways I'm just really tired and depressed but I'm still gonna push. My only motivation is my birthday and that I'm going to see my love soon.

I love you all so much 💗

please take care of yourself <3

HI MIGUEL :3

question

do you celebrate christmas

@crybaby-spider

No.

Jess usually throws a Christmas party for the Society the week before or after Christmas, and if it's not her, it's Peter, and if it's not him, it's @spider-lily929 -- so if you're asking about that, go see any of them.

As much as I've enjoyed the insinuations about the throuple (and particularly Marvel's cowardly backtracking about it), I do occasionally think I'd like to see the comics address some of the conflict that came before with these characters.

Y'know, like that time Logan proposed murdering an actual child as a trade off to get Charles Xavier back.

It'd be one thing if the adult version of Scott Summers were present during this scene, and we could write this off as yet another dramatic continuation of their usual conflict. But he's not. THIS is just about terrorizing an ACTUAL CHILD.

(Tangentially, I also think it's fascinating how the original motivation for the Schism was Logan being angry at Scott's use of actual children in combat scenarios, in light of his sudden veneration of Charles Xavier, who literally STARTED the trend of using these children in combat scenarios. But that's a blog post for another day.)

how do you think haechan would react when he sees you naked for the first time?

there's two distinctions i'm gonna make 1) if it's on accident and 2) if it's on purpose.

accident; if you're oblivious, haechan won't hesitate to check you out - his eyes raking up and down your exposed figure until he feels himself growing half hard in his sweats. but if you catch him looking, he makes a show of it. stumbling back into the wall of your bedroom, slapping a hand over his eyes and screaming like a banshee. you, however, see the tightening fabric of his sweatpants and call him out on it. all he does is point to his crotch and go "this? a boner? nahhhh, this is my gun." and move his hips whilst saying pew pew pew.

on purpose; whistles
