The BDS movement has called for a boycott of Captain America 4 because of the character of Sabra, an Israeli superhero who kills Palestinians, played by ex IDF soldier Shira Haas, an anti-Palestinian actress who has made propaganda for Israel.

My favorite female (and not only) characters from shows I’ve watched because I am bored

So I'm back to reading Robin 1993 comics after a few good months! Here are some of my favorite screenshots I took from issues 38-45 :D

Stephanie's internal monologue being depicted as diary entries are so cute! I think it's so innovative!

Batman has no fun :(

Tim wants to be Chandler Bing SO bad...

Ari's cliche teenage door signs I like to believe she either got ironically or her uncle got those for her because he saw them and thought "ah, yes, teenagers have signs like these"

I think Tim and Steph's relationship is really interesting in the early comics. Tim has so many problems as Tim and when he's Robin, he's able to shed his insecurities and problems and become someone that's confident. He refers a lot to his civilian life as Tim's and his superhero life as Robin's- they're separated because it makes it easier to compartmentalize, but it also helps him escape his troubles. Although these lines blur a lot- like when he stalks after Ives as Robin in these issues to see why Ives is skipping school and showing up with bruises. But I also see that Tim is able to be more confident as Robin because there's less emotional vulnerability- he's hiding a very important aspect of himself away. And during these issues, he's gotten in trouble with his dad and Ari's uncle and no one is listening to him, so I understand why he prefers to go out as Robin since it gives him a certain credibility amongst adults that would normally ignore him. What's interesting is that he recognizes that his separation of his lives is difficult, but he can't stop doing it.

Stephanie and Tim's relationship is skewed and their relationship exists with several different power balances. She makes him off kilter with her confidence, but he makes her off kilter by knowing her civilian name and referring her as that even in the heat of battle. He knows a lot about her (including her identity) but she doesn't know anything about him other than she's able to fluster him and tease him a lot. And I think that's part of the reason why Tim likes her so much- (besides being attracted to her and of her ability to keep up with him in their vigilante identities) but also he can hide his emotional vulnerability from her because he's constantly wearing a mask. She doesn't know anything about him- he's not an awkward teenager who often says the wrong thing and gets himself into trouble. He's not someone who adults ignore or straight up antagonize- when he's Robin, when he's with her, he's someone important. He's a hero. But he's not being inherently honest with her.

Some cute Tim/Steph screenshots :) -- (I do like them a lot, even though Tim's being annoying and cheating on Ari with her)

I haven't read Superboy yet but... this is Kon, right? Steph has a poster of Kon in her room? (If it's not him, please let me know!)

LOVE her outfit- I adore that we're seeing more of Steph in these issues.

Tim's love of Crocky <3 <3 <3 (he was fighting for his life with Alfred during this issue)

No one:

Tim: :D

Here's some appreciative animal screenshots

Great parenting Jack...

I am so sick of this character. Why did Dixon keep putting him in here ugh

I-

Alright thanks for getting this far if you did! I'm back reading comics so here's to more of this silly little series! :D

[giveamadeuschohisownmovie]

Part of the reason why I feel like there’s going to be a big twist in “Captain America: Brave New World” is that it feels like the makers are trying too hard to get us to think about “Captain America: The Winter Soldier”. Think about it:

1) It’s a road trip movie with Captain America, Falcon (Joaquin), and Black Widow (Ruth)

2) Mind controlled super-soldiers

3) A mysterious conspiracy

4) Captain America being asked to go along with the government’s shady business

It feels like the makers are invoking Winter Soldier just to pull the rug out from under us. Taking what feels familiar to make us think we know what’s going to happen in the story. Which actually makes sense considering that the villain is a super genius. Sterns is absolutely the kind of baddie who’d go, “All according to my plan!”

At times, I wonder if I truly love you or just the romanticized idea of us.

Ok, but I am really interested in seeing Dick and Rosie's relationship prior to this. Like who fell first, what drew them in, and ultimately just some key moments. I wish you best of luck on your surgery and can't wait to keep reading your work!

Oh Nonny, this is such a good ask and I'm thrilled to answer it because I really do have a LOT of thoughts on the two of them! They're an underrated fave couple of mine actually because they really do work so well.....which is sad haha. SOME MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD, SO BEWARE KIDDOS!!

How'd they meet?

Ruth had already been in Europe since Spring of 1942. Unfortunately, starting out as a woman in the JAG-Corp wasn't super appealing to a lot of different court systems within the military. She had to pretty much claw for every shred of respect and reputation that she earned. So by the time that Easy Company (I'm fudging the timeline a little bit so it all works out) shows up in England, no one really wants to work with her. Enter Ruth being the only person they can get to defend one of the NCO's in a court martial against Sobel. So naturally, this is where her and Dick Winters first meet.

He's hard at work training and trying to stay focused on his men and she's this little shark with an attitude. They immediately click and get along because he does NOT try to hit on her or flirt with her. He just asks her about work and what will be the most helpful for her job. Well she defends the men well and earns Sobel's irritation, which automatically endears her to him anyway.

How'd they get together?

She gets asked to stay on in Aldbourne and starts working with other companies and a large variety of soldiers. As she's building up her reputation, she doesn't go out on the weekends. You know who ALSO doesn't go out on the weekends? Dick Winters. Neither one really cares for drinking or partying or anything of the sort and they're both just nerdy enough to find each other doing paperwork on a Friday night, which presents the perfect opportunity.

The thing about Ruth is that up to this point, she's already been burned in a relationship due to a lack of respect from her former fianceé. If you ever want to get over that, date Dick Winters. Because he drinks his "respect women" juice and treats her first and foremost as a JAG-Corp lawyer doing her job, a friend second, and then romantically third. Which brings us to the next questions.

Who fell first/What drew them in?

Truth be told, Ruth was really turned off to wanting to get to know anyone. She has a hard time socializing, especially after how badly things ended with her first fianceé (more on that in the Flak-House chapters, so be on the lookout for that). So when Winters comes along and literally follows all of her standards, checks every single box off, and treats her as an equal?? She's absolutely baffled. He's a kind man who has goals and morals and beliefs. He has courage and cleverness and cares about people deeply.

But he absolutely fell first. He's quickly endeared by her quick wit and sharp sarcasm, though she rivals Lewis Nixon in that field, truth be told. She has a strong moral compass, similar to his and he really appreciates that she's open and upfront about the things that she wants. She's a natural leader in her own right and they're both very much opposite sides of the same coin, if that makes sense.

Their relationship:

These two were the sweetest with one another. Dick Winters had a way of calming her down and keeping her grounded. When she was with him, she wasn't constantly on the prowl for things to court martial or for people to sass. She was relaxed enough to do her job when needed and was having fun at the same time. Neither one was big on PDA, but they were big on communication and making time for one another. They'd swap ideas about the universe and about God and he and Lew were the only people in Aldbourne that knew she was Jewish.

They'd spend mornings together curled up in bed and she loved to help clean him up after hard training sessions. She was the person he could go to and rant and vent and let out all of his feelings to. They were each other's safe space in a seriously tumultuous time. They'd talk about history and art and literature and write each other letters. He'd buy her books and she'd find little knick knacks and things that he needed. They'd spend evenings just working on paperwork or talking about his men and his worries for them all.

And Lewis Nixon could usually be found trailing behind or trying to get them into trouble.

Key Moments:

Key Moment #1: They always used to go for walks together and talk about work. Surprisingly, it was her that initiated a conversation about more than work and about his hopes and dreams for the future. He kissed her first and their relationship very much had a sense of comfort and ease with one another. They never really needed to speak too much, though conversation was important to them. Everyone knew that they were together but no one was about to say anything about the scary lawyer lady and their beloved preferred leader of Easy Company lol.

Key Moment #2: She defended him in a court case against Sobel to get RID of Sobel. Yes, it was a messy situation but he knew that if he needed a lawyer, he needed the best one he could get. And she was the best of the best. So them getting rid of Sobel freed them up for more time together and to figure out where they'd go from here. Neither one had any illusions about the two of them getting to be together throughout the entire war. They just thought that they'd have more time.

Key Moment #3: They had a serious talk about what they wanted after the war was over. And for Dick Winters, he's a traditional man who wants a family and wants to settle down and live a peaceful life. And it isn't that Ruth is opposed to that. But she's got some serious trauma and some things that make her believe that she could not give him that life that he wants. He wants a farm and she wants to stay in New York. He wants kids and she's not sure if she'll ever be a mother.

This is also the point in which Ruth realized that she loved him. And love for her is scary, as I've talked about before. Affection, friendship, admiration—all fine things for her to be feeling. But love? Love is when things get real and she wasn't ready for that.

Which brings us to Key Moment #4: The breaking point. The picnic where she talked about that to him. She expressed that she couldn't give him the future that he wants and that she needed to leave. And the thing is? He can't even be mad at her or begrudging in any way. Because he understands that her leaving is an act of love for him. It's a rough pill to swallow for both of them. But they remain close friends and they write to each other as often as they can.

The other thing to consider here is the fact that if Ruth had stayed in Aldbourne....she absolutely would have ended up with Winters. He would have stuck by her through everything and tried to make a life that worked for the two of them. And they'd be very happy together. If she hadn't run, she'd already be engaged and waiting for him to come back by the time that D-Day comes around. It's the right person at the wrong time. And that doesn't mean that you can't have more than 1 right person in your lifetime. This is thus evidenced by her and Rosie—and finding the right timing for that relationship.
