sapphic !! atom eve x reader ⚢

food for thought (all sfw):

☁︎ she absolutely loves manifesting new clothes for you. cute jeans, t-shirts, hoodies, jackets, dresses, overalls, bucket hats, heels, sneakers, boots, whatever your style is, she’s all too happy to oblige and bring to life your deepest pinterest-board desires.

☁︎ if you can’t fly but you want to, she will take you flying, bridal style. if you can fly, she loves to skim the clouds while holding hands with you.

☁︎ she lets you brush her hair a lot (and likes to brush yours if it’s long enough).

☁︎ sometimes you two just sit on her bed and make out for a little while her parents are away.

☁︎ if you’re going to school, eve is happy to do chill study sessions with you where the two of you vibe and listen to lofi beats together. if you struggle with anything science-related, it’s eve to the rescue.

☁︎ most of your dates are in gorgeous, secluded areas untouched by civilization, where you have the absolute best view. you sit together on a cliff watching the sunrise, or have a picnic, or sometimes just walk along the beach holding hands.

☁︎ adam is weird about you two being together. not blatantly queerphobic per se, but he has an unsophisticated grasp of sapphic love, i.e. assumes you both have to be lesbians as opposed to bisexual. if you are femme he might be confused because eve is also femme and he does not understand the concept of femme4femme or butch4butch.

☁︎ betsy is well-meaning but doesn’t really get it either. but she adores you and loves to make snacks for you whenever you come over. she’ll always try to make conversation although sometimes it gets awkward.

☁︎ not to be cliche, but rex is extremely jealous at first (maybe of both of you?) he makes little digs at you, but he doesn’t dare do it in front of eve because the one time he tried that, she turned all his meals that day into stale soggy burger mart fries. eventually he does warm up to you, especially if you’re a supe and go on occasional missions together, he would come to respect your skill and your desire to help others.

☁︎ mark is of course a sweetheart to you because he’s just a good kid. he tags along sometimes on missions (if you’re a supe). otherwise you guys just hang out together at the movies or whatever.

☁︎ sometimes eve takes your hands in hers and just stares into your eyes. or brushes her thumb against your temple as you lie across from each other.

☁︎ if you like flowers... you are going to get a lot of them.

I thought Eve’s dad was have that sentence go “Your powers don’t make you a hero. *You* make you a hero.” But then he took a nosedive with “They make you *dangerous*”. Like, dude. You can’t keep fucking it up like this

To clarify: I thought he was gonna go like “It’s not your powers, it’s what you do with them” and that would lead into a little lecture about responsibility and thinking things through and all that. But no. Just slammed her with “You are a danger” like *that’s* a helpful statement to hear from her dad.

Adam Wilkins has not said a single right thing in his entire fucking life. His main character trait is dropping his maw to insert his foot into it. I dunno how this man is still married.

Worst Animated Dad Bracket Round 1

Propaganda:

Adam Wilkins: None Submitted

Tony Durpleton: Literally doesn’t give a crap about his son. He physically and mentally neglected and abused him. And he ABANDONED his son - who’s the age of a literal elementary schooler btw - by literally throwing him out of their moving house. He dislikes his son simply acting like a child and being noisy and having fun (which is something that all kids do). And literally THREW a gift that his son made for him out of the house (as a distraction for his son in order to abandon him). He’s also mentioned to literally physically drop his son all the time at extreme heights (the durple drop), probably in order to punish him. Uhh idk what else to say so here’s a link to a video of Tony threw the box his son gave him out the window and abandoned him (the title of the video is inaccurate for the scene within it): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=j1N2V395FOU&pp=ygUZdGhlIGJlc3QgZGFkIGNlbnRhdXJ3b3JsZA%3D%3D

Adam Wilkins is from Invincible

Tony Durpleton is from Centaur World

Does anyone like Adam as a villain? Or season 4 in general?

I don't care for Adam, but it could be I don't particularly care about Riley well not in the way I care about Faith or even Dawn.

Adam just isn't a very interesting villain, well not to me personally. I feel like everyone's acting was a bit off, in certain areas.

In season 3 we had the mayor and Faith

And

In season 5 we had glory and Dawn

Like those are good matches. Adam and Riley leave much to be desired. Through season 4 has a few good episodes such as the obvious 'Hush', 'this year's girl', and 'who are you?'

Adam just really boring and charmless, which could be because he's made up of parts and half robot.

No, cause I was struggling with finishing this season, I like Buffy in a new space, I like her being in college, getting to be around new people and her friends, I like that she got to experience it for however long she was there. Season 4 in those aspects it's good, earlier seasons Buffy was scared she wouldn't be able to live a semi normal life and look the college experience. Love that for her.

this is 100% accurate btw @lambjurk

[lyledebeast]

Jason Isaacs said something in that old interview I recently discovered about how his horse was so tall he towered over Adam Baldwin (who is 6'6) when they were both mounted up.

I think he has to be exaggerating because he's said elsewhere that the horse was 16 hands, which isn't THAT tall as horses go. Maybe it was his often-confessed fear of horses talking. Still, all I can think about now is that Tiktok.

Imagine the final charge. Everything is the same, except for Wilkins . . . on rollerblades . . . straddling a miniature horse that doesn't even come close to his crotch.

And you'll understand why I was crying at work.

best buffy big bad--poll

SPOILERS

yes, im back with another one of these. no, i don't regret it. yes, i still have two polls running. no, i will take no further questions.

Raiders DL Adam Butler On Injuring Christian Wilkins: "Simply Not True"

Following Sunday's action, many speculated that Adam Butler was responsible for injuring the Raiders' prized FA, Christian Wilkins. Well, that notion was dispelled...

It’s been a rough stretch for the Las Vegas Raiders thus far; losing your prized free agent acquisition, Christian Wilkins, is a devastating blow. However, at least we know who’s not to blame in all of that. Adam Butler has had a solid campaign at this point in the season for the Silver and Black. According to Pro Football Focus, he’s graded at 61.6 in terms of pass rushing; his run defense…

“Now,” said the lady, “I have a feeling about you, little girl. You’ve been meddling with people’s worse natures, haven’t you?” “I haven’t,” said Jess, rather indignantly. “I wouldn’t know how to.” “I think you would,” the lady answered. “Everyone knows how to do that. We may disguise it from ourselves by calling it a kindness to someone else—as I did—or telling ourselves that it’s only fair to do whatever it is, but the fact remains that we’ve done a bad act disguised as a good one. And I have a feeling that’s just what you’ve done.”

Ma'am I understand marriage is a sanctity thing and important but at this point JUST DIVORCE HIM, why do you let him do this to your daughter.

Remembering Bayard Rustin: The Unsung Hero of the Civil Rights Movement

written by Levi Wise Kenneth Catoe Jr.

August 1, 2024 - Growing up as a Black boy in Paterson, NJ, and attending Roman and Irish Catholic Parochial schools, Black history was not very familiar to me. I grew up in a religious Southern Baptist family and participated in the church choir. In this context, Martin Luther King, Jr., was all that I knew about Black history until I became a teenage Madonna fanatic. Ironically, Madonna made me aware of Black activists and radicals such as Nina Simone, Jean-Michel Basquiat, James Baldwin, and Bayard Rustin. Bayard Rustin was an African American activist who believed in civil disobedience. Rustin felt that Black people should deliberately break unjust laws but do it non-violently to bring about change and this would play a key role in the Civil Rights movement. He also advocated for LGBTQ rights. Rustin moved to Harlem in 1937 and began studying at City College of New York. It’s interesting to note that at the time CCNY was an all-male college once regarded as ‘Jewish Harvard’ which did not accept Black men—Rustin was an unusual exception. While Rustin was at CCNY he became involved in efforts to defend and free the Scottsboro Boys, nine young black men in Alabama who were accused of raping two white women. Activism for Rustin was something that came naturally. He later became a mentor to Martin Luther King.

Rustin is one of my all-time idols. I have been enamored of him since I learned about him, so I was excited to attend an event dedicated to his life and legacy at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, “Between the Lines: Bayard Rustin, A Legacy of Protest and Politics.” The event was a conversation between Michael G. Long and Jafari Allen, who edited the book of the same name. Their exchange sparked many revelations and I left the event more aware than when I entered. I felt so much pity for the life that Rustin had to live, including the attack on his character that was rallied against him by other Black people and the distance that Martin Luther King placed between himself and Rustin out of fear of people assuming that he was also gay. I also learned that it was Coretta Scott King who introduced King to Rustin. Scott-King met Rustin during her college years as a fellow activist who practiced civil disobedience. She would ultimately introduce her husband King to civil disobedience tactics. Rustin recalled that his first time meeting King he was strapped with a handgun and that he never traveled without his gun. It was Rustin who told King that if he represented civil disobedience he would have to be willing to put away his firearm, which eventually he did. Nevertheless, this raises the question, who was King really? The “I Have A Dream” pacifist or the “Beyond Vietnam” radical? We will never truly know.

All in all what I did learn was that according to Rustin, King had no idea how to organize an event. Instead, it was Rustin who developed the blueprint for King’s early Civil Rights movement, at least until the day that King removed Rustin from his inner circle.

Nevertheless, Rustin returned to organize the March on Washington, despite everything leveled against him by Adam Clayton Powel and Roy Wilkins. Someone noted during the discussion that “it’s funny how karma works given the fact that nobody remembers Wilkins's legacy in comparison to the sudden interest in Rustin.'' If I remember correctly, the comment was made by the moderator, NYU professor Dr. Jarafi Allen, based on the fact that the venue was standing room only, or that the Hollywood lens is now fixated on Rustin’s story, with an Academy Award-nominated movie based upon his life currently in theaters. Wilkins has not received the same interest from Hollywood, perhaps indicating that he is less marketable in the mainstream. Meanwhile, Rustin’s role as an activist for the LGTBQ community is also important for newer generations. Until recently, this legacy and all that he accomplished was invisible, but he has since become a symbol of the “others” and most notably the “forgotten others”. While in his lifetime he was shunned, rallied against, and betrayed by those that he benefitted, history has allowed his legacy the final word.

Why Adam Wilkins is the most hated character on Invincible?

He has a very rocky relationship with his daughter and is generally unsupportive of her decisions and aspirations to be a superheroine.

He's a misogynist who holds outdated views on gender roles and chastises his daughter for not having traditionally feminine aspirations as a way to cover his insecurities and fragile masculinity. He states that the only reason he ever let Eve become a superhero was because he assumed her then boyfriend, Rex was going to "protect her", even though Eve is extremely powerful herself.

While it's shown that he does care about Eve and most of his disdain for his daughter's career choices come from a place of worry about her welbeing and the welbeing of those around her, that is simply too weak of an excuse to justify his actions, as he damaged his relationship with his daughter because of his own choices, to the point Eve started to actively dislike him. Even though he sometimes brings up good points, such as calling out Eve for using her powers in an inconsequential manner, the way he goes off about them doesn't help and only further cements him as a bad father.

While it's shown he had a good relationship with Eve when she was a kid, ever since the day he learned she had a special ability to identify atoms and molecules, Adam began forming a disdain for his daughter and started acting rude and abrasive towards her.

He was also rude to her babysitter after he started praising his daughter's advanced intelligence. He initially refuses to send her to a school for gifted children, calling her a freak. When Eve didn’t show up to her birthday, he ate a part of the cake and when called out by her, he furiously yelled at his daughter.

When she runs to her room he rudely yells at her that that he and his wife are the only family she has.

While it's implied that he does genuinely love his wife (especially in the flashbacks seen in the Invincible: Atom Eve special), it's rarely ever shown onscreen, and it's stated that they frequently fight a lot. It's also implied that he might even be psychologically abusive towards her as well, to the point she's completely submissive to him and enables his behavior.

Season 1

After finding out that Eve had broken up with Rex after she found out he was cheating on her with Dupli-Kate, Adam lashes out at his daughter, telling her to forgive him, saying that "everyone makes mistakes".

When Eve tells him that she's considering quitting the superhero career, Adam rudely tells her that it was "about time".

When Eve decides to leave her family home in order to become a full-time superhero away from them, Adam doesn't respect her choices and further insists that she quits her dreams in order to live a "normal life". He even told Eve to her face that the worst day of his life was when she got superpowers, something that really hurt Eve emotionally.

Season 2

While he does take a job at Burger-Mart in order to provide for his family after being fired from his previous job at the furniture store, Adam is shown to have been very reluctant to do so and puts the blame on the superheroes for having destroyed their corporate office, essentially blaming his daughter for getting fired.

He stubbornly refuses to get his daughter's help for income, purely out of a place of insecurity, and still persists on lashing out on Eve, despite her being very understanding towards him.

After Eve uses her powers to turn an apple into gold and gives them to sell it, Adam angrily refuses to do so and, later on, even throws the apple in the trash.

During their argument in Eve's second visit to their house, he blames her for an accident in Chicago, where Eve had used her powers to build on an abandoned lot, not knowing it was actually unstable. While Adam tries to rightfully talk some sense into Eve to not use her powers irresponsibly, he's still overly harsh to her, telling her that her powers don't make her a hero, they make her dangerous.

Overall, Adam is generally an unpleasant and rude person who is unreasonable to his daughter for no good reason, and is by far one of the most hated characters in the series.

Sarah Mason

Basic Information

Other name(s): sometimes people call her Sadie, a nickname. 

Citizenship: US

Language(s): English

Place of Birth: Arkansas 

Date of Birth: 23/06/1935

Occupation: Nurse 

Status: Deceased (1985)

Physical Appearance

Eyes: chocolate brown

Hair: chestnut brown

Skin: white, fair

Tattoo(s): none

Scar(s): back of her left hand, small and thinning

Face Claim:  Linda Cardellini

Description: Sarah Mason stands at around 5’3” tall; she had always been on the smaller side growing up, but she never let her height get in the way of the things she wanted to do. When growing up, she would often sport the fashionable clothing of the era and did so with grace. She was quite pretty growing up. There was always a natural air about her, a brightness captured mostly in her wide smile, which causes dimples to appear on her cheeks. Even when she speaks, sometimes these dimples appear. 

Nowadays, you can find Sarah rocking a nice pair of jeans with one of many shirts, ranging from patterned button-downs, band t-shirts, jumpers, jackets, but she errs on the side of practicality, given that she is chasing around a toddler. When at work, she’ll be sporting her nurse's uniform and a pair of trainers, because the last thing she wants is her feet killing on the job. 

Her nursing uniform is a simple light blue dress with a collar, adorned with the kind of medical paraphernalia that comes with the skillset, to keep in with the light look, the trainers she wears are also white, and at times she will also wear a warm navy cardigan. 

As for her hair, Sarah usually has it tied back in a low bun for work, again for practicality, but when she’s home she prefers to wear it down. There is a natural parting towards the right of her head, and the main body of the hair sweeps over to the left. In summer, when she’s been out in the sun, a few strands of her hair turn golden in the sunlight. 

Personality

Like(s): family, friends, animals, sitting out in her back garden and watching her son play, cooking for her family, going on short walks, taking care of people, listening to the radio, singing (badly), collecting photos, coffee, strawberry flavoured things, things baby pink coloured, reading, keeping on top of her nursing knowledge, learning new things, religion. 

Dislike(s): being bad at new things, malicious gossip, driving, peas, ignorant people, people who eat too loudly (she can literally hear them a mile away and it annoys the hell out of her), overbearingly righteous people (like her sister), birds (specifically pigeons).

Strength(s): good listener, intuitive, knowledgeable, patient, caring, understanding, resilient, positive-thinker she can always see the silver lining in things, friendly, always willing to help others in need, thoughtful, very good with a needle (all her patients say that they can’t feel when she’s taking bloods), stands her ground professionally, good mum instincts. 

Weakness(es): can sometimes not realise when someone is taking advantage of her kindness, can be a little gossipy, can get argumentative when she feels someone is undermining her (especially doctors), sometimes called ditzy, can be clumsy. Can trust a little too easy. 

Relationships

Parent(s): Theodore Jackson (biological Dad), Ida Wilkins (biological Mum), Adam Wilkins (step-Dad)

Sibling(s): Mable Wilkins (half-sister)

Spouse(s): Alex Mason (husband)

Children: David Mason (son)

Biography

Sarah Jackson was born in Arkansas in 1935, four years before the Second World War would start. Her parents, Theadore and Ida Jackson, were lovely, childhood sweethearts that married young and welcomed Sarah into the world with love and open arms. Their family unit was unbreakable and picture-perfect. 

That was until her father was drafted into military service in the year of 1944, where he trained as part of the 101st Airborne. Unfortunately, a letter received in the mail had a 9 year old Sarah watch as her mother collapsed to the floor in tears, the nature of the letter kept hidden from her. All she was told, her mother stricken with grief that would lay heavy on her soul for decades, was that her father would not be coming home. As a child, Sarah hadn’t fully understood what that had meant, often waiting by the door with the bear her father had given her, eyes watching the handle carefully for any movement. 

When Sarah turned 11, a new man had become the head of the household, religious and strict. Already, Sarah had been raised by Christian parents, a belief she carried throughout her life, but this man, well, he was a little too strict. Whatever he said, that’s what they did, and soon her mother was pregnant with her half sister, Mable. At this revelation, Adam Wilkins uprooted his family to return to his home state, Alaska, to be nearer his side of the family. 

It was a lot of change and so very sudden, which caused Sarah to become quite isolated - her new school was difficult to integrate into and no matter how friendly she was, she was often kicked to the ground and left alone. Until one day, when a particular nasty kid had set his eyes on her, someone came to defend her. 

A boy, no older than 15, barrelled in and gave this bully what for, before turning to her and asking if she was alright. They introduced themselves to each other and that day, Sarah made her first friend; Alex Mason. Their friendship stuck and she would spend more and more time with him, meeting his veteran father, and occasionally being shown around the wilderness (not too far from civilization) by the teen. 

It wasn’t too difficult to see just how Sarah felt about him, but in the early 50s, he joined the military and she began to pursue further education, to train as a nurse. 

Later in that decade, a chance meeting happens whereby Alex is in the Emergency Department, following an accident he had whilst back home on leave. It wasn’t anything major, a simple knock to the head leaving behind a small cut - apparently he was embarrassed to admit what had happened. He was shocked to find that the nurse attending him was none other than Sarah, who entered the room in a bit of a daze, before she looked up and recognised him. 

They spent a few minutes catching up, as efficiently as one could in the timeframe they had, as Sarah placed stitches in the wound and patched him up. Before he left, he had asked if she still lived locally, to which she replied she did; she had only left Alaska to study, but found that she wanted to return to where she grew up and work at the hospital there. 

With that in mind, they met up a few days later and started dating some weeks after that - it was a few years after that chance meeting that they became married, happily, and more so when their son arrived in 1979. 

However, tragedy would strike the family in 1984, where Sarah would receive a diagnosis of lung cancer, incurable. In early 1985, she would fall victim to the illness and pass away with her family around her.
