okay, so since disney were COWARDS and didn't make the mcu mighty med/lab rats canon, I've decided to think marvel movies exist in that universe, but marvel movies/comics are "the fake ones" compared to the ones ambrose writes for mighty med. like, marvel is fun and all, but its not representative of real superheroes the way ambrose's comics and the movies based on them are.

that being said, circa 2012 (leo likes comics, and without being part of the superhero world like kaz, oliver, skylar, etc, most people don't know some are real and some are fake) the Avengers comes out.

all this to say, chase sees bruce banner struggling to control the hulk when he'd rather just be a human scientist, and it reminds him of himself and his commando app

Swear to god this will be the last post I make about it but they finally address the whole 'south American' lostbelt thing only to 1: keep calling it the wrong location 2: still not get the right location

Like I need them to be so serious right now, it's not like the Aztec and Mayan civilizations weren't spread through Mesoamerica but they were not primarily Central American and all the named locations in this lostbelt are named after places in Mexico! Which is in North America! Which is very explicitly not part of Central America!!

Okay I've witnessed it happening enough in Queer Internet Circles that I think I can confidently say something about it.

Can we PLEASE stop picking arbitrary lgbt+ demographics out of a hat and having entire conversations about how they 'aren't actually queer' and 'taking valuable resources' for the crimes of 'some of them are cringe' or 'some of them are assholes' or 'they have a nebulous privilege over the rest of us so they're the oppressor, actually'.

Like look, some conversations are absolutely worth having. There's a lot of transmasc shitheads who latch on to toxic masculinity or seem to completely forget what it's like to navigate a world that considers you a woman, or completely fail to realize that being transgender yourself doesn't suddenly mean you don't have to examine yourself for internalized transphobia or transmisogyny. And that should be addressed, every community has its issues, no community is a monolith, no demographic is made up of entirely good smart righteous people or evil bad oppressive abusers. Obviously.

But I'm not talking about that!

I'm talking about people bringing up the same tired rhetoric they used when they tried to claim that nonbinary people are clout-chasing attention seekers who will keep cishet society from taking the rest of us seriously, that people used when they decided asexuals were actually cishets who co-opted our movement for their own personal gain, which was recycled from when people tried to claim that bisexuals are het-passing fakers and if a REAL queer has sex with one they'll be left for a cishet because that's what bisexuals do, which is the same as the shit they spewed at whoever the target was before that! It's paranoid nonsense all the way down, people looking for an acceptable target to take their shit out on!

Can we stop doing this, please?? Can we stop picking demographics within our own community that people arbitrarily decide are fine to bully and mock and kick out of the spaces they helped create because you think that they're cringe or that speaking about the issues they face is privileged whining? Can we stop giving bigoted cishets free reign on already vulnerable communities because someone arbitrarily decided that THESE queers are evil and cringe so its okay to make shitty comments and jokes about them? Can we PLEASE stop the cycle in its tracks while we can still see the crosshairs moving onto tranfems and trans women? We can stop this now before it starts getting uglier and deadlier, but we HAVE to be aware and do more than complaining about it online.

Alright, if aliens are the origin of the Christian God mythos, and Jesus was a virgin birth, do you guys think canonically that Jesus was an alien/human hybrid? That's why he was able to rise the dead, walk on water, make the blind see etc.

Also, does this mean that the show is trying to pull a Virgin Mary on Scully? I was blinded by shipping to really get what they're trying to do. They're doing a "Scully is like Mary, mystery baby is like Jesus" and I really dont know how to feel about it.

Literally maybe nothing worse than realizing the dmc1 novel kind of Has to take place before dmc3, making Dante at the most like 16-17. Oh my god.

Just saw your RB of that post abt Garrard and HARD SAME cos like it keeps being irritating af to me that the conversation so far, in some parts in fandom, is centered around how buck, the one white man on the A shift atm, would be effected by Garrard's bigotry and not literally everybody else's!!! Who's like.... none of which are white!!! Like I love Buck but c'mon!!

... honestly, I apologize for using your ask box for venting but this has been chocking me for a bit there

Feel free to vent any time honey 🥰 I totally get it.

I love Buck too. With my whole heart. But a lot of people forget that Hen and Chim were traumatized and harassed nonstop by that man, and Tommy was no help whatsoever.

It seems to me like they brought in Gerrard partially to somehow get people to sympathize with Tommy. And I get it, Gerrard is a jackass and hates everyone and everything, I'm not justifying his newfound dislike for Tommy. Hate is hate, and I thought the fairy comment was uncalled for just as much as anybody.

But damnit, Hen and Chim faced the brunt of it and it feels like no one cared until the white guys might be subjected to it. Even after 7x09, they made it out to be like Chim was defending Buck and Tommy and not himself. Chim was standing up for Chim, and I felt immensely proud and so happy for him. I have no doubt in my mind he'd stick up for them should the need arise. But that moment? That was for Chim.

I definitely see Gerrard making all of A shift's lives hell, but the way these people talk about it make it seem like Buck and Tommy's struggles will be the only ones that matter. As if Hen and Chim won't be reliving the worst moments of their professional lives and Ravi and Eddie won't be subjected to it too.

And I wasn't gonna go there, but ya know what? Fuck it. To me, it's a little hypocritical of some people in the fandom to call out bigotry and homophobia and any other discrimination when all they care about is Tommy and Buck being victims of Gerrard's reign of terror like the others don't exist.

Dude, you don't understand. I was so psyched when the orange poppyseed muffin of bad vibes was voted out the first time, I was like dusting my hands like well I guess that's that and I can return to my "oh" peripheral way of consuming us politics - vaguely aware of the broad strokes but as a non-american being able to somewhat relegate it to the back of my mind.

THEN THIS SHIT.

I try my best to hold space for the people who disengaged from the political ecosystem and voted for Trump and all but some days it's like "holy fucking christ how did you NOT see this coming THEY LITERALLY WROTE IT DOWN OR HAVE PRECEDENT".

Then people are mad at me for having an opinion as a foreigner and honestly even people in my life who are politically disengaged don't understand why I pay attention "just ignore it"

I WOULD LOVE TO!

Make no mistake i don't fucking WANT to give more than a passing interest in any fucking politician regardless of country BUT this motherfucker is acting a fool on a global stage, kicking up political dust with every tantrum that has lead to MANY PEOPLE DYING ACROSS THE GLOBE. This scumbag has worsened conflicts, undermined the global reputation of the US, passed Canada and Greenland the fuck off, gotten in a global pissing contest downwind of the flow with tariffs, has gutted a bastardtonne of government systems and GUESS THE FUCK WHAT?

THAT IMPACTS OTHER COUNTRIES!

IN A BIG FUCKIN WAY! WITH RIPPLES WE ARE YET TO SEE FULLY! AS A HUMAN IN THIS WORLD I HAVE A FUCKING RIGHT TO PAY ATTENTION AND HAVE A FUCKING OPINION REGARDLESS OF MY NATIONALITY OR LOCATION!

If ya don't wanna be clocked on being insane keep a fuckin lid on it, ya haven't and this shit is boiling over onto the stove of the global stage.

Like previous evil motherfuckers at least kept it on the DL and didn't advertise being a fuckstain.

not to rant on main but like does anyone else know people who go on and on about their own complexity and intelligence (particularly at the expense of others) but actually just fail to be interesting at all. im talking the girl who calls herself a neurodivergent baddie who only likes weird people but then gets shady when youre weird in the wrong way. or who says they hate small talk and wanna talk about theology and literature and philosophy but get weirded out when people actually start having discussions. like the person who talks themself up as kind and introspective but just ends up being a bully. this very very specific type of person and ive met multiple people like this and i cant help but get tired of it. the whole higher plane superiority act.

This is more a Wednesday of Woe instead of errands. So pls have my updated todo list Tumblr Void I sometimes wait into:

1) eat breakfast (outside so I can have an easy calorie & socializing with my waitress friends)

2) pick up online order so I don't exhaust myself further in grocery store

3) get New Meds & immediately take the Aimovig so maybe my headache from stress will go away

4) come home & feed cats wet food cause they insist dry food is not real food now

5) get back in bed.

Key point: no phone calls or other stuff cause I am an adult who is responsible & even though the US Government paywalled my passport, me choosing to call back/email later is a responsible adult desicion that people do all the time, not anything else weird insecure thoughts that look like my internalized feelings of inadequacy & financial anxiety.

Anyway, bed warm & I'm obligated by Depression 101 to buy a waffle today so,
