#i think I might be in love with Wade

"honey! she's hyperfixating again!"

[brainrotcharacters]

makes me giggle to think of X2 Logan meeting dp&w Logan when this is a thing

[captainmaxatx]

Omega! Logan who was born in the 1800s when secondary gender roles were very prevalent but it actually really suited him and he wanted to be a home maker and have a bunch of pups but he was always too big and hairy and and not seen as a good Omega. Alphas would sleep with him but never treat him the way they would a “proper” omega and they didn’t ever want anything serious because it’s like almost shameful to have a big hairy omega.

Then times change and Omegas start breaking out of the cookie cutter roles and they go into the work force and what not (feminism but it’s omegas) and Logan is very happy for them he thinks they all deserve the right to choose, but still no one wants him. And everyone expects him being an omega with the way he looks to be at the forefront of the movement to want the change for himself, but he doesn’t.

And over the years he toughened up and stops looking to start a family and put his dreams on the back burner to become what everyone expected of him.

And then everything happens and all the sudden Logan finds himself in a universe without secondary genders, where he isn’t a too big and hairy omega, he’s just some guy.

And unintentionally he finds his way into the role he’s always craved, where he takes care of the home and the dog while Wade makes the money, and it’s the closest he’s ever been to the life he wanted. He mostly retires from fighting and heroing, but now he’s ready for a new challenge. And being near Laura has only served to dig up that old desire and instinct he tried to bury so long ago

And I mean, even if the mutant hate wasn’t as bad as it is in Logan’s old world there was still a time here not to long ago when mutants were ran out and scattered around the world. And now with the people at Xavier’s working on getting the Mutants back into the city trying to re group with their still dwindling numbers. I mean Logan and Wade should help with the mutant re population efforts, who better to do that then two very eager immortals who can heal from anything and with a whole gang of friends around them for free child care.

you know when you experienced something so traumatizing or grieved too hard your brain sort of temporarily locked that memory to protect you from the pain? i think that's what's been happening to me after deadpool 2 bc tell me why every time i rewatch that movie, i always forget how painful these scenes are?

they always leave me sobbing and totally wrecked but with each rewatch i'd just... forget they would eventually happen and i'd eventually get hurt??

[randomaltgayperson]

Me: Maybe I'm losing my hyperfixation on Deadpool and Wolverine

Also me whenever I see a Honda Odyssey: omg that's so Deadpool and Wolverine

Also me: YOU'RE THE ONE THAT I WANT, OO OO OOO, THE ONE THAT I WANT

Also me whenever I see the colors red and black: omg Deadpool?

Also me whenever I see the letter X: is that X-Men

Also me whenever kitties are mentioned: Wolverine is also a cute little kitty cat

Also me whenever I open my phone to see my Deadpool and Wolverine wallpaper: Nothing much to add here really, I just get really happy everytime I open my phone ngl

Also me whenever anything remotely X-Men gets mentioned: it doesn't even have to get mentioned, I start conversations about X-Men just to info dump

Also me cause I have the Deadpool soundtrack saved and listens to it frequently: YOU'RE THE ONE THAT I WANT, OO OO OOO, THE ONE THAT I WANT

Also me whenever I open Tumblr, Pinterest, YouTube, or Tiktok: omg look, Deadpool and Wolverine content!

Also me just all the fucking time: Hey do you know what I really like? Deadpool and Wolverine

[sciderman]

(Idk if someone asked this already) since we’re on the topic of gender

sci what is gender to you and how do you see it in you and how you express it in your art?? (Just a young queer artist who wants some light shined upon them 🥺)

i 'unno ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What do I love about Spideypool?

I love how their characters - one anxious, analytical, out of touch with his feelings, the other deranged but in touch with his emotions and soft side in unexpected ways - play off each other, and the capacity they have to heal and support one-another.

I love good identity shenanigans where Peter thinks the world is about to come crashing down and Wade could care less and you know it but it still seems like all the stakes are riding on it. Dramatic irony, yum.

I love the opportunity to explore identity with an openly pansexual and a closeted bisexual character. (Honestly, Marvel does Wade dirty by just making his sexuality a running joke and having all of his relationships be with women. Wtf, Marvel.)

I love the physicality of both of them, their fighting skill and contrasting/complementary styles as well as the exploration of the relationship between bodily injury/pain/discomfort and mental/emotional pain.

I love the capacity this ship has for puns, wordplay, and incredibly witty banter. I also love mildly unhinged stream-of-conciousness writing (ala the likes of Tom Robbins and Dave Eggers.) Deadpool's inner monologue is excellent in that regard. I'm constantly striving to improve my Deadpool voice.

But, most importantly, this is the crucial element: they sexy boys who fight.

[katabay]

it's time for another episode of desk posting!

I'm still in the guts of plotting out Bad Governance, it's a very fun but very dense puzzle to figure out on account of Keeping Track Of All The Election Cycles, which drive the interpersonal drama.

also crammed in there is my current ideas notebook, because I was jotting down some stray thoughts I had about Jack the Giant Killer, and I'll probably cycle back to it in a month or two with another idea that ties everything together and transforms it from a collection of thoughts to 'ohhhhh I want to turn this into a comic for real.'

[sonknuxadow]

jesus christttt im not surprised at all to hear that the knuckles series focuses on wade and other human characters a lot i saw this coming a mile away with how almost all the news we were getting before the trailer came out was about the human characters/actors and not about knuckles (or sonic or tails or any other animated characters) but the fact that somebody calculated how many minutes of screentime knuckles has and it came out as LESS THAN HALF OF THE ENTIRE SERIES' RUNTIME when the series is NAMED after him is ridiculous. after this show comes out wade will likely have more screentime and overall plot relevance in the entire scu than tails does. did they actually think wade is a popular enough character for people to be down with this. what the fuck

[kalliedraws2]

I love the movie, love these two more than words can describe, I’m never, ever, ever, ever, ever doing this again XDD. I was over it and it took too long and I don’t know how to draw water 😭. I wish I did a lot better because I love them so much and they’re perfect 🥹. Anyway I recommend giving this movie a try, it’s really good and I enjoyed it so much. So here’s wade and ember

[pikachuinhightops]

I love standards organizations.

Standards increase interoperability. They do this primarily, and they treat price, complexity, and niche use cases as secondary concerns. Standards also require enforcement and/or adoption.

Government standards organizations tend to rely on enforcement. Metric or imperial units are maintained and enforced by these organizations, and these orgs tend to have more stringent requirements and focus harder on the primary concern of interoperability.

Non-profit and especially tech standards organizations are the opposite of the spectrum tending to rely on adoption and allowing more room for the secondary concerns. This is why they aren't great standards organizations.

HDMI is a great example of this. HDMI was designed by a collaboration between several companies that then created the HDMI Forum to maintain and develop upon the standard. These companies, and all of their adopters have a vested interest in advertising their cables, TVs, and components as HDMI. This is why there is an HDMI Licensing LLC that collects payment for the use of the standard's license.

To the average user, every HDMI cable is the same. Even the difference between HDMI 1.4 or HDMI 2.1 don't seem meaningful to most people. The connector has the same footprint. It fits in the same ports. It has the logo.

In actuality HDMI is one of the most fractured and poorly maintained standards in the industry. Each cable you say may have entirely different feature sets that all technically fall into spec with the standard. Some carry Ethernet over HDMI, some have limited display or audio features down to the bare minimum, and many other variations. If you need one of these feature sets, finding the correct cable can be a nightmare because they all present themselves as HDMI and no less. Many cables boast about their additional features. Many fail to mention they barely meet the spec. Port components are even worse.

All of this is for the sake of advertising. The standard allows for a lot of leeway because the original producers wanted that space to differentiate their products despite nominally using a standard.

This makes the standard less useful as a standard but great as a branding tool. Communicating that you'll be able to make a connection regardless of the fact that that connection might not be between fully compatible devices/cables is a useful tool to appealing to a broad audience. Saying your product is this standard plus all of these extra non standard features is a good way to catch eyes. All of this makes HDMI a highly effective logo on a box but a less effective standard.

"Now Ally, why did you just ramble about tech standards? It's June. Go touch some grass. Hold a boob."

Well you see I've done that and I've held those and this is actually related to pride month. Queer identities are very much like tech standards, only there is no standards organization enforcing what sexuality or gender you get to slap on your box (not a euphemism although I guess you could make it one if you'd like). That said, queer identities function a lot like HDMI. They make for good ways to signal to others that you can make a general connection but they don't guarantee full compatibility. They have other things past the spec tacked onto them for various reasons. They're not perfect as standards because they aren't really standards at all. They just appear to be to folks who are new.

And I want to emphasize that this is fine. This is a feature.

Earlier I mentioned Ethernet over HDMI as a feature set on some cables and ports (it wasn't a standard but I think the forum has created a standard for it since). Ethernet is its own related but different standard that has been tacked on here for a reason that makes sense for the manufacturer and possibly the user. It could not matter for the end user. It could introduce some confusion as a less experienced user tries to understand how that makes sense.

Now imagine you are a baby queer who's only really been exposed to the L G B and T as separate "standards" (thank you for bearing with this ridiculous metaphor). Now someone with a compound or complex identity like say bi lesbian would appear as to be "breaking" the spec. Really they are just Ethernet over HDMI. They're just an extension to the standard and in a similar way to those tech companies they're trying to convey that a connection can be made but they're capable of more.

And that's fine. It's good that we're not so rigid. To have perfectly defined and rigid standards like weights and measures would be suffocating. Let people be weird with it. To folks with complex identities, have a little patience for the folks just trying understand exactly how you work cause well you're not the standard. It's gonna take a sec to get to know you and understand your intricacies.

We're not just cables and ports (I mean some of us are shout out to my fellow robot girls). We're people who are just trying to understand things, connect, and get through it. Be patient with each other whether you've been around a while and have things figured out or if you're new. We're all just trying to find what fits and does what we need.

[sciderman]

Were Peter and Harry properly a thing? Or was it more of a spur of the moment hook-up?

in 9319? it was just two sordid nights – and sweet, sweet lingering trauma...

harry so nice, peter had to have it twice.

[jackalhadrurusluvr]

makes me feel Something that im getting my ass kicked by dysphoria really hard (like beaten into the ground and then kicked while im down a dozen times for good measure) after being mostly-content with my gender and being more feminine and everything
