"The newest Marvel movie Deadpool & Wolverine is about to hit theaters — but before it does, its star Hugh Jackman has something to say about fellow Marvel actor Tom Holland.
In an interview with Marvel Thailand, Jackman and his co-star Ryan Reynolds dished on their new movie. When the interviewer asked them to “choose one more MCU hero to join your team,” Reynolds was first to chime in. I’d love to play with Spider-Man,” Reynolds said. “That would be cool. Tom Holland is amazing.”
“I agree. He’s so cool. That would be great,” Jackman replied. That’s when he revealed what he’d really like to get up to with the Spider-Man actor on set. “He’s young, and we could pile on him and abuse him and just yell at him,” Jackman said before laughing. Let’s run that last part back: “pile on him” and “abuse him”? Jackman may only be referring to some friendly rough-housing, especially given their age gap (he’s 55 years old, while Holland is just 28), but that didn’t stop the gay internet from pointing out the homoerotic undertones in his Tom Holland fantasy." Josette Caruso, Twitter
Fuck Hugh Jackman.

Louis and Claudia are not just identifiable as American by way of their speech (“American? Your French is ugly.”) and movement (“You could tell from his walk, he was an American.”), but are posited by the narrative to be symbolic representations of postwar America itself (“The American vampires appeared to be as dull and plain as their tourists and soldiers were.”, “Do American vampiresses all wear pastels?”, “And are all American vampires as alluring as you?”). The pair set themselves up in France as “moneyed Americans”, described by Armand as having a “velvet-heeled arrival” despite the pair coming to the city on the back of a truck. That Paris has been left by the war with deep physical and societal wounds is treated as an inconvenience that they have to impatiently endure. Santiago picks at these stitches during the performative execution of the pointedly foreign Annika, invoking the paranoia of occupation with his line “[...] the next time you're in the pew, you turn to your neighbour and say, ‘Peace be unto you.’ They'll give you up... in a wink!”. It is telling that the only explanation Armand gives for his choice of victims to the coven is that they are profiteering from the suffering of postwar France (“Whilst their countrymen clutch ration cards, they've made quite a killing manipulating the black markets.”), a statement which seems to deepen their appetite for the ensuing slaughter. These are not resentments and histories however shared by Claudia, who may revel in the massacre but has already knowingly associated with a woman branded as a collaborator, or Louis, whose attempts to engage with the world through photography only further positions him as an outsider. This detachment is what causes Louis and Claudia to be regarded as interlopers, suspected to believe themselves to be too important to heed traditions, manners (“It's custom and practice for traveling vampires to make themselves known”) or the welfare of their temporary home (“We were constantly cleaning up for them.”). Though American soldiers played a role in the later stages of the liberation of Paris, the increasing presence of Americans in the city is framed as another more insidious occupation (“[...] our Anglican friends now invading Paris postwar”, “My dear American friend [...] who has dominated my mind”). As Americans, Louis and Claudia are granted more privileges in society than other black ethnics groups (“But I wasn't an Algerian. I was an American”). It is not just that the French theatre troupe composed of multinational actors now has “five out of every seven” of their performances in English, but the coven has been instructed by Armand to remake itself as “an English company” and speak the language offstage too. Armand’s welcoming attitude to increasing American influence in the city, how it creates a “more receptive” and “optimistic” audience, is not a simple or universal one. There is a distinct bitterness belying the fanfare accompanying Louis and Claudia’s arrival, particularly from Santiago (“I ask you, Maitre, was it worth the wait?”), but it is also notably still present in Armand’s lighthearted teasing (“Seventy-seven years and it still feels like a slight.”, “Five months removed [...] the Americans were finally coming to Pigalle.”). At least during these early months, Louis and Claudia seem to view Paris more as a static backdrop against which they can discover themselves and heal their relationship. This is a mistake that they will likely only realise when it is already too late, for this fragile and volatile setting is entwined with the tragedy that awaits them.
#working title v1: an American vampire in Paris#(two references for the price of one!)#working title v2: take a drink everytime someone says 'American' in this episode#this really is a continuation of @saintarmand's points about parallels between countries and characters#the line about Louis and Claudia's irresponsible disposing of bodies made me think about discussions of the ecological impact of tourism#Louis' line about how they frequently move cities I'm sure will come up again#it would be really interesting if one of the tensions the coven have with Madeleine is their perception of her as a traitor#Louis de Pointe du Lac#Claudia#Armand#Santiago#Interview with the Vampire#Jagged Jottings

y'all please be watchful of accounts posting political memes, especially since the american elections are coming up. more and more blogs are looking like they're up to election interference in favour of the republicans and it's looking EXACTLY like the 2016 russian bot invasion. THIS IS NOT A JOKE. be mindful, fact check and question everything and VOTE BLUE.
#you have no choice to vote blue or you are a traitor to not just your country and your freedom but also the entire fucking world#sjonnie.text

Queer Fantasy Books Bracket: Round 2
Book summaries below:
The Masquerade Series (The Traitor Baru Cormorant, The Monster Baru Cormorant, The Tyrant Baru Cormorant) by Seth Dickinson
Tomorrow, on the beach, Baru Cormorant will look up from the sand of her home and see red sails on the horizon. The Empire of Masks is coming, armed with coin and ink, doctrine and compass, soap and lies. They'll conquer Baru’s island, rewrite her culture, criminalize her customs, and dispose of one of her fathers. But Baru is patient. She'll swallow her hate, prove her talent, and join the Masquerade. She will learn the secrets of empire. She’ll be exactly what they need. And she'll claw her way high enough up the rungs of power to set her people free. In a final test of her loyalty, the Masquerade will send Baru to bring order to distant Aurdwynn, a snakepit of rebels, informants, and seditious dukes. Aurdwynn kills everyone who tries to rule it. To survive, Baru will need to untangle this land’s intricate web of treachery - and conceal her attraction to the dangerously fascinating Duchess Tain Hu. But Baru is a savant in games of power, as ruthless in her tactics as she is fixated on her goals. In the calculus of her schemes, all ledgers must be balanced, and the price of liberation paid in full. Fantasy, epic fantasy, secondary world, politics, series
When the Angels Left the Old Country by Sacha Lamb
A queer immigrant fairytale about individual purpose, the fluid nature of identity, and the power of love to change and endure. Uriel the angel and Little Ash (short for Ashmedai) are the only two supernatural creatures in their shtetl (which is so tiny, it doesn't have a name other than Shtetl). The angel and the demon have been studying together for centuries, but pogroms and the search for a new life have drawn all the young people from their village to America. When one of those young emigrants goes missing, Uriel and Little Ash set off to find her. Along the way the angel and demon encounter humans in need of their help, including Rose Cohen, whose best friend (and the love of her life) has abandoned her to marry a man, and Malke Shulman, whose father died mysteriously on his way to America. But there are obstacles ahead of them as difficult as what they’ve left behind. Medical exams (and demons) at Ellis Island. Corrupt officials, cruel mob bosses, murderers, poverty. The streets are far from paved with gold. Fantasy, historical fiction, young adult, folklore

my favourite thing about American """democracy""" is you guys still literally spend two years going on about how it would be EVIL and UNACCEPTABLE to vote for anyone except the main party, and it becomes more and more fucking annoying, and then the minute the election is over you'll start again within days. ooh don't forget midterms are coming up so you can't criticise the government 😨 wait midterms are over so now it's basically the next election so you can't criticise the government 😨 if you make your vote conditional on anything, anything at all, at any time, you're allowing fascism 😨 oh our guys won the election but hey you can't criticise them it'll be midterms soon 😨😨😨
it's amazing how your fucking country is stuck in permanent election season and yet everyone is so frightened of using their vote to enact pressure in case it loses the Blue Team any election ever. and you're so wrapped up in this shit even though it literally does not matter how you vote because you don't live in a direct democracy. "ooh not holding your nose and voting for the blue cunt let Trump in" no the fuck it didn't because Trump lost the popular vote and won the election anyway because y'all have a system of Guys Who Can Override Popular Elections.
#red said#i would say i dread us election season because people are so fucking annoying#but how can i DREAD it when it NEVER SEEMS TO STOP#is your stupid goddamn country ever NOT embroiled in an election season#god only knows when you actually Do Politics when the campaign trail NEVER FUCKING ENDS#btw people are like 'it's too late to meaningfully withdraw your vote now'#as if they didn't start yelling at anyone using the threat of withdrawing their vote for being a TRAITOR and a FOOL a year and a half ago.

(via Trump Reportedly Said ‘No One Wants to See’ Wounded Vets)
At his welcome ceremony at Joint Base Myer–Henderson Hall, across the Potomac River from the capital, Milley gained an early, and disturbing, insight into Trump’s attitude toward soldiers. Milley had chosen a severely wounded Army captain, Luis Avila, to sing “God Bless America.” Avila, who had completed five combat tours, had lost a leg in an IED attack in Afghanistan, and had suffered two heart attacks, two strokes, and brain damage as a result of his injuries. To Milley, and to four-star generals across the Army, Avila and his wife, Claudia, represented the heroism, sacrifice, and dignity of wounded soldiers.
It had rained that day, and the ground was soft; at one point Avila’s wheelchair threatened to topple over. Milley’s wife, Hollyanne, ran to help Avila, as did Vice President Mike Pence. After Avila’s performance, Trump walked over to congratulate him, but then said to Milley, within earshot of several witnesses, “Why do you bring people like that here? No one wants to see that, the wounded.” Never let Avila appear in public again, Trump told Milley. (Recently, Milley invited Avila to sing at his retirement ceremony.)
donny has some real serious issues with disadvantaged people...

165 pages of evidence against Donald Trump
was unsealed Wednesday, October 2nd, relating to Jack Smith's prosecution of Donald Trump for his role in the Jan 6th and related attacks on the US constitution and elections.
[Trump's] efforts included lying to state officials in order to induce them to ignore true vote counts; manufacturing fraudulent electoral votes in the targeted states; attempting to enlist Vice President Michael R. Pence, in his role as President of the Senate, to obstruct Congress’s certification of the election by using the defendant’s fraudulent electoral votes; and when all else had failed, on January 6, 2021, directing an angry crowd of supporters to the United States Capitol to obstruct the congressional certification.
Page 3
Hundreds of pieces of evidence are included, many of them never publicly known before. Including this summary of witness testimony from a Trump campaign official:
Upon receiving a phone call alerting him that Pence had been taken to a secure location, [he] rushed to the dining room to inform the defendant [Trump] in hopes that the defendant would take action to ensure Pence's safety. Instead, after [he] delivered the news, the defendant looked at him and said only, "So what?"

Republican vs Democrat
Do you understand the difference or do you just gobble on that propaganda cock the media shoves in your face day in, day out.
On your phone, your laptop, in movies, TV shows, cartoons etc.
All pushing a boogeyman version of "The Bad People".
What do you consider Republican?
To have minimal government and to have the right to choose what you do with your money?
or
Reeeeeee Orange man 34 felonies and MAGAts are Literal NAZIS!!!

Agonizing over Tsubasa and Yuu in the FE AU that I will never public the writing
#Fyi Tsubasa’s the commander of Steel Wings platoons (Griffinknights) under Ryuuga’s (but actually Doji’s) command#Same for Reiji his comrade who’s the commander of Steel Fangs platoons (Dracoknights)#Ryuuga might be an emperor of their country but he’s heavily corrupted by a dragon stone Doji brought back#(Yes Hades cult is still a thing)#(Also Doji assassinated the prev King Ryuusei/Ryo and made Ryuuga#Who was basically Ryo adopted kid at the time#The king)#(Also Ryuuga is a manakete who got exiled throughly the dragon gate because the other dragons fear him#Prophecy that he will destroy the dragon world#But basically he will destroy Nemesis who’s an ancient Fell Dragon but that’s the end game plot for later#Anyway back to the plot Tsubasa is a Branded who got exiled too and got taken in by Ryo long time ago#So his lifespan is a little fucked he looks like a you by adult but he’s like in his 30’s#Anyway Ryo made him sent a baby Gingka to a countryside and away from the throne because he sniffed out something is suss#Ryo then got assasinated and Ryuuga is the heir to the throne#But Doji quickly corrupted him using a specialized dragons stone aka Black Gem so he’s a corrupted emperor now#And his goal is to collect the rest of the gem stones in other countries to finish the fire emblem#Which is in their possession#To revive Nemesis#So Tsubasa has to listen to orders to raid other country and terrorized people#Which he activities try to shy away from because of a pledge he promised to Ryo and in the day Ryuuga got coronated#Doji being the snake he is was saying that it’s for the greater good and made planted evidence to turn all the countries to each other#Yuu was a survivor from a village he and Reiji raided so Tsubasa took in in#Yuu lost most of his memories so he imprinted on Ryuuga because omg cool dragon lord#Anw Gingka eventually tag along with other and Kyouya gang who’s the Prince of a country to take down the Empire and eventually Ryuuga#But that’s a plot for another time#so Tsubasa bid his time until Gingka army needs a diversion - he then proceeds to sabotage the Empire by betraying them#And giving Gingka an opening#So he’s immediately got apprehended by Reiji and Ryuuga and narrowly escaped by taking Yuu with him#Yuu doesn’t understand shit yet so he thought Tsubasa was being the traitor and fight#But the bird is just tired very very tired he doesn’t want to part take in this bloodshed anymore

what if i will just never romantically vibe with any man i meet in my entire life. what then
#inspired by the fact that i recently discovered that my flatmate's boyfriend wears the ugliest sandals i've seen in my life#and he's ugly af too#hhhh#but i genuinely haven't seen a good looking man in this country in god knows how long#what if i will never have a bf just because all the men i will meet will be either ugly or boring or both#not that i've ever been on any sort of a date (have never)#but looking at the boyfriends of women i know really makes me scared for the future of my romantic life#conservative weirdos in this country have a new hobby and it's calling any woman who dates a guy from abroad a traitor/whore#and it's hilarious because guys. have you looked in the mirror recently#somehow i'm convinced i'd be more likely to fall in love somewhere abroad#because whatever is going on in men's fashion here is tragic#not just fashion. worldview also#anyway it's midnight and i should go to bed#but here's a post brought to you by my lonely unloveable bitch disease ✌

To me, Transformers Prime is Bayverse, but the universe chooses not to be mean for fun toward Optimus Prime.
#the Bayverse is mean toward everyone#but especially him#think about it#The Fallen killed his tribe off#leaving only him#and maybe Sentinel#although the people in-universe had a difficult time accepting it#then there was the war against a former brother-in-arms#then there was the ruin of his civilization#then there was the great exodus scattering his people across the universe#then there's his uneasy stay on Earth where he has to do a country's bidding in exchange for an insecure place to stay#then there's the whole genocide thing that saw his people suffering unethical experimentations#and on top of that: a lot of dead friends and a traitor of a mentor#Earth—or the U. S. govt—in TFP is much kinder#the war was still devastating and there is still Transformers hunting for science#but the whole thing just feels milder#transformers bayverse#transformers prime#transformers aligned continuity#bayverse optimus prime#tfp optimus prime#optimus prime#transformers#Mann Walter
