#are they married? I couldn’t tell you

[empresskadia]

I have no self-control :’)

and I fully blame @biomecharnotaurus

I’ll color this eventually but omg Raya’s almost foot taller than John after she becomes a IV

So lore wise, braiding her hair is very important to Raya since it’s the only form of affection she remember from her mother [her relationship with her parents was complicated]. ODST!John tries but it always send her into a fit of giggles after he’s done

But in the actual storyline, it takes the Chief three tries and he gets it down, but that’s a story for another time and a drawing for a different day.

So High School 1000% literally sounds and is written like a pop punk song and because that’s what Taylor listened to when she was high school aged I just KNOW that was intentional and you have nooooo idea how obsessed with that I am

[doctorsiren]

ok so in your respective split AUs, phoenix is nick + feenie and Edgeworth is Miles + Edgeworth right ?

So hypothetically if they were in the same universe would they be able to fuse with eachother? Like miles and feenie or Edgeworth and nick exc.

Sorry I'm way too invested in this :')

LOVE THAT IDEA 💥💥💥 i can’t believe the end result got us tumblr-styled milo thatch, william von afton, some sort of pirate prince, and then gregory edgeworth

EVIDENTLY my Lavender Haze/You’re Losing Me ex got married this weekend

[labyrinthhofmymind]

just thinking about canon lily evans and all the shit she had to deal with from the men in her life…

LET’S GET INTO IT

FIRST, her bestfriend of many years was constantly harassing her other friends and anyone else that was like her, using slurs and just in general being a prejudiced bastard who thought lily was the exception. lily gave him SO many chances, and he kept messing up. she would’ve been so embarrassed and pissed off, just begging and pleading that’ll he’ll come around, but he never did.

SECOND, she’s placed in the house with some of the most narcissistic and idiotic men ever. james is constantly pestering her and asking her out, making her seem stupid and ashamed in front of the entire school. he picks fights with her ex bestfriend too which doesn’t help the situation, and uses snape’s horrible behaviour as an excuse to be a bully. sirius ALSO torments snape and makes fun of lily, always egging james on and helping him with pranks and hexes.

THIRD, once she FINALLY gets on good terms with all of the marauders, they are forced to enter a war as children, and soon enough remus and sirius are at each other’s throats thinking that the other is the traitor. THEN james jumps on the band wagon, and poor lily has to try and keep them all at bay and also swat them over the head for daring to think their FRIENDS would betray each other.

FOURTH, turns out a friend DID betray her, and she has to face the consequences for making peter pettigrew her secret keeper. this ultimately results in both her and james dying, sirius being sent to azkaban, and harry being forced to live with petunia.

FIFTH, lily has a husband who LEAVES HIS WAND ON THE COUCH, EVEN THOUGH THEY’RE HIDING OUT AND SHOULD BE ON ALERT AT ALL TIMES. WHO ANSWERS THE DOOR IN THE MIDDLE OF A WAR WITHOUT THEIR WAND MHM JAMES?????

SIXTH, just in general lily has to deal with dumbledore and his willingness to throw children into battle, as well as his manipulation and blackmail, and his belief of sacrifices for the greater good.

WHAT DO ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS HAVE IN COMMON???? THEY WERE MEN!!!!!!

this isn’t to mention lily having to deal with a shitty sister who doesn’t love her the way she is, being a muggleborn and a women in the 70s at hogwarts, being forced to grow up way too fast, and finally having the opportunity to be a mother and wife, only to have both of those things taken away from her. THE PROPHECY. THE GOD DAMN PROPHECY.

in conclusion, i wouldn’t have blamed lily in the slightest if she was to become a villian, that poor girl had to deal with so much and the fact people still hate on her ASTOUNDS me. she had to deal with the marauders at all stages in their life (including their annoying, childish, and immature era), she had to deal with snape, she had to deal with slytherins constantly hexing her and calling her slurs, AND she had to deal with dumbledore. all the while she still manages to be at the top of all of her classes, maintain friendships, get into slughorns good graces, keep in touch with her family, fight in a war, get married, HAVE A BLOODY CHILD, and look good doing it??????

lily evans pls take me i will love and treat you sooo much better than any man

Charlie’s comment on Mick’s worrying reminds me of that bit from a documentary…of course I can’t remember which one…but Mick says something about an issue keeping him up at night. Charlie does an eyebrow raise and then a look at the camera. Another of his classic reaction shots.

[dejwritesarchived]

One of my colleagues and I are fighting (because she’s a bitch) and she framed it as wanting to be concerned with my teaching abilities which is hilarious because the student body absolutely adores me and hates her. Like motherfucker I am the Princess Diana of this middle school I will end your entire existence do not fuck with me.

Once you and Simon get married, you best bet this man is OBSESSED with calling you his wife.

You’re no longer listed as Y/N in his phone, you’ve now upgraded to “Mrs. Riley.” And the man couldn’t give two shits about how much he’s teased for it.

Any time he address you, you’re no longer babe, love, honey, oh no, it’s “wife, where’s the detergent?” “I missed you, Mrs. Riley.” “What would you like for dinner tonight, wifey?”

Is SUCH a proud fuckin’ husband and loves to show you off to everyone. Had the biggest shit eating grin as he introduced you as his wife to the 141. “This is my wife, Mrs. Riley.”

Will always find ways to tell people that he’s married to you. Getting his haircut? “Oh yeah, my wife likes it when I get it cut this way.”

At the supermarket? “Excuse me, my wife is trying to find this, can you tell me where I can find it?”

Getting hit on by folk at base? “Oh you like my mask? I’ll be sure to let my wifey know, she’s the one who made it for me.”

EQUALLY loves when you call him husband, or hubby. This man will never get tired of you calling him as such.

Oh, you called him Simon? Who the fuck is Simon? That’s hubby to you, sweetheart.

Sweet fuckin man just wants everyone to know what a lucky man he is that he landed you as his wifey.

So I’ve been enjoying the Disney vs. DeSantis memes as much as anyone, but like. I do feel like a lot of people who had normal childhoods are missing some context to all this.

I was raised in the Bible Belt in a fairly fundie environment. My parents were reasonably cool about some things, compared to the rest of my family, but they certainly had their issues. But they did let me watch Disney movies, which turned out to be a point of major contention between them and my other relatives.

See, I think some people think this weird fight between Disney and fundies is new. It is very not new. I know that Disney’s attempts at inclusion in their media have been the source of a lot of mockery, but what a lot of people don’t understand is that as far as actual company policy goes, Disney has actually been an industry leader for queer rights. They’ve had policies assuring equal healthcare and partner benefits for queer employees since the early 90s.

I’m not sure how many people reading this right now remember the early 90s, but that was very much not industry standard. It was a big deal when Disney announced that non-married queer partners would be getting the same benefits as the married heterosexual ones.

Like — it went further than just saying that any unmarried partners would be eligible for spousal benefits. It straight-up said that non-same-sex partners would still need to be married to receive spousal benefits, but because same-sex partners couldn’t do that, proof that they lived together as an established couple would be enough.

In other words, it put long-term same-sex partners on a higher level than opposite-sex partners who just weren’t married yet. It put them on the exact same level as heterosexual married partners.

They weren’t the first company ever to do this, but they were super early. And they were certainly the first mainstream “family-friendly” company to do it.

Conservatives lost their damn minds.

Protests, boycotts, sermons, the whole nine yards. I can’t tell you how many books about the evils of Disney my grandmother tried to get my parents to read when I was a kid.

When we later moved to Florida, I realized just how many queer people work at Disney — because historically speaking, it’s been a company that has guaranteed them safety, non-discrimination, and equal rights. That’s when I became aware of their unofficial “Gay Days” and how Christians would show up from all over the country to protest them every year. Apparently my grandmother had been upset about these days for years, but my parents had just kind of ignored her.

Out of curiosity, I ended up reading one of the books my grandmother kept leaving at our house. And friends — it’s amazing how similar that (terrible, poorly written) rhetoric was to what people are saying these days. Disney hires gay pedophiles who want to abuse your children. Disney is trying to normalize Satanism in our beautiful, Christian America. 

Just tons of conspiracy theories in there that ranged from “a few bad things happened that weren’t actually Disney’s fault, but they did happen” to “Pocahontas is an evil movie, not because it distorts history and misrepresents indigenous life, but because it might teach children respect for nature. Which, as we all know, would cause them all to become Wiccans who believe in climate change.”

Like — please, take it from someone who knows. This weird fight between fundies and Disney is not new. This is not Disney’s first (gay) rodeo. These people have always believed that Disney is full of evil gays who are trying to groom and sexually abuse children.

The main difference now is that these beliefs are becoming mainstream. It’s not just conservative pastors who are talking about this. It’s not just church groups showing up to boycott Gay Day. Disney is starting to (reluctantly) say the quiet part out loud, and so are the Republicans. Disney is publicly supporting queer rights and announcing company-supported queer events and the Republican Party is publicly calling them pedophiles and enacting politically driven revenge.

This is important, because while this fight has always been important in the history of queer rights, it is now being magnified. The precedent that a fight like this could set is staggering. For better or for worse, we live in a corporation-driven country. I don’t like it any more than you do, and I’m not about to defend most of Disney’s business practices. But we do live in a nation where rights are largely tied to corporate approval, and the fact that we might be entering an age where even the most powerful corporations in the country are being banned from speaking out in favor of rights for marginalized people… that’s genuinely scary.

Like… I’ll just ask you this. Where do you think we’d be now, in 2023, if Disney had been prevented from promising its employees equal benefits in 1994? That was almost thirty years ago, and look how far things have come. When I looked up news articles for this post from that era, even then journalists, activists, and fundie church leaders were all talking about how a company of Disney’s prominence throwing their weight behind this movement could lead to the normalization of equal protections in this country.

The idea of it scared and thrilled people in equal parts even then. It still scares and thrills them now.

I keep seeing people say “I need them both to lose!” and I get it, I do. Disney has for sure done a lot of shit over the years. But I am begging you as a queer exvangelical to understand that no. You need Disney to win. You need Disney to wipe the fucking floor with these people.

Right now, this isn’t just a fight between a giant corporation and Ron DeSantis. This is a fight about the right of corporations to support marginalized groups. It’s a fight that ensures that companies like Disney still can offer benefits that a discriminatory government does not provide. It ensures that businesses much smaller than Disney can support activism.

Hell, it ensures that you can support activism.

The fight between weird Christian conspiracy theorists and Disney is not new, because the fight to prevent any tiny victory for marginalized groups is not new. The fight against the normalization of othered groups is not new.

That’s what they’re most afraid of. That each incremental victory will start to make marginalized groups feel safer, that each incremental victory will start to turn the tide of public opinion, that each incremental victory will eventually lead to sweeping law reform.

They’re afraid that they won’t be able to legally discriminate against us anymore.

So guys! Please. This fight, while hilarious, is also so fucking important. I am begging you to understand how old this fight is. These people always play the long game. They did it with Roe and they’re doing it with Disney.

We have! To keep! Pushing back!

So Billy is 17, doesn’t matter if he’s homeless or adopted, but the League or his family still don’t know that he Captain Marvel.

One day, he gets caught in a summon.

The summoning turns out to be a marriage contract. Billy is now married to the eldritch ghost king. Who was also not happy.

After sending the cultist to hell, the ghost king transforms into a teenager. Danny Fenton

Huh, he could work with this. Billy transforms as well.

They start working together to find a way to break off the marriage. There isn’t one. They are stuck together. And because both of them have enemies, they can’t exactly tell people that they’re married

Eventually, they learn to like each more than friends. One day, Marvel is in a meeting and someone asks him what he’s doing after work,

Marvel: oh! I’m watching that new horror movie with my husband :))

Leaguers: ….

Marvel: he was so excited to see it I couldn’t say no!

Leaguers: you’re married???

Marvel: … it was supposed to be a secret… shit…

Shenanigans

- JLA holiday party? Billy brings elderitch Danny

- Dani pops up:

Dani: hiya papa!!

Marvel: Dani! What are you doing here?

Dani: just stopping by to see my papa :))

Marvel: aww :))

Leaguers: aww….?

Leaguer: I can’t believe you made up a fake husband!

Billy: oh Danny is real!

Leaguers: but he’s not your husband, right?

Billy: :))

Leaguers: ….right??
