listen. i know it's not 2014 anymore and i know it's just a throwaway line and that the russo brothers didnt intend for marvel action blockbuster captain america the winter soldier to become the tragic gay love story that never was but man. having steve say "it's kind of hard to find someone with shared life experience" in a conversation about romantic relationships right before the bucky reveal is so cruel. it's not just about steve and bucky obviously having the shared experience of being "out of time," it's the fact that they've both been stripped of their humanity in opposite directions. steve is a legend, he is an american hero and a national icon before he is a human being the same way that bucky is a weapon and a killing machine before he is a human being. steve knows that anyone who falls in love with him in the 21st century fell in love with captain america first, and that's just not him. but then the one person who knew him first and knew him best and loved him (not captain america, that little guy from brooklyn) so much he died for it is alive, impossibly. and it's a miracle because he's back and it's horrific because he's back under the worst possible circumstances. but to steve, the winter soldier is worth tearing the world apart for because he's always been bucky first. they find each other and suddenly they're human again. and maybe, despite it all, being "out of time" becomes a blessing, because in this century they'd finally be allowed to love each other the way they've always wanted to. like real people do.

like. no. the captain america trilogy isn't about two queer men traumatized and alienated by war and modern life rediscovering and reclaiming their humanity through their love for each other. but. i mean. it couldve been

#like you get why all the fics about those two are insane right. the narrative is just so goddamn compelling #and thats not even getting into the whole thing abt the serum curing steve of every ailment except his love for bucky #which makes him realize it was never an ailment to begin with (despite the commonly held beliefs about homosexuality in the 1940s)#and bucky being *electroshocked* again and again into forgetting steve #like howd you make your gay ass movie that gay and not realize it. its kinda impressive #sorry for the ridiculous stucky retrospective its 4am and i rewatched the winter soldier recently #its not that deep. its not its not its not . but if it was anything other than what it is it could have been. and thats the worst part #shut up riley #marvel #stucky

Logan likes being called baby, or sweetheart, or darling.

All his life Logan has gone by different names. James Howlett, Wolverine, Logan, Weapon X. To some degree, all those names have their own meaning, but most of them don't exactly fit with the new life he's forged with Wade.

But sweetheart? It's soft, gentle, so goddamn personal. Wade whispers it in his ear in the morning while they lay in bed, thumbing over Logan's beard, looking at him with fondness written all over his face. Wade treats him like he's precious, something to be taken care of, something to be cherished.

Logan doesn't outwardly admit it, but Wade eventually catches on, and starts calling him baby almost exclusively. It doesn't matter who's around or where they are, Wade calls him baby in the X-mansion, on jobs, when his friends are over at the house.

And Logan should hate it, but he doesn't, because he belongs to Wade now, and every stupidly soft nickname makes this timeline feel more like home, more like he's found a place where he can be loved for something other than taking up the mantle of Wolverine or Logan.

He's just baby to Wade.

#headcanon that logan loves wade's nicknames especially the sappy ones #logan feels more like himself when he isn't trying to live up to the espectations that come with his name and reputation in a new timeline #wade loves his logan so goddamn much I am going to cry #logan is wade's baby tell me I'm wrong #back in poolverine hell but I never left to begin with #poolverine #headcanon #logan howlett #deadpool #wolverine #wade wilson #deadclaws

this whole "turning over a new leaf" thing might end up a shockingly uphill battle

[ Description in ALT ]

#ggg #great god grove #ggg spoilers #great god grove spoilers #inspekta #ggg inspekta #ggg hector #hector ggg #his intentions are good after snapping out but i feel like the fears may only end up being exacerbated #i'm sure he'll have enough resolve to overcome this Eventually but goddamn i don't think internally this will be any easier than #making amends externally. obviously im not trying to overlook what's been done; i can just sympathize with this possibly haunting him for #the rest of his mortal life; unless he hops into godhood again. then it'll just haunt him forever!#im not transcribing the whole text because it's not really meant to be fully parsed to begin with. the ALT just has the summary

thinking about how psychologically torturous everything dnp did was when dapg came back. like every upload had something that would cause irreparable psychic damage. like BOOM the phousepad!! BOOM framed final fantasy characters!! BOOM dan can’t shut the fuck up about phil having a phat ass!! they woke up every fucking day and chose extreme violence!! now i feel like i’ve built up a tolerance and i can take anything because of the absolute exposure therapy of a year it’s been since they came back. like sister daniel baking?? react to all pinofs?? the phan roblox videos?? that red carpet review video where they said the gayest sappiest nastiest shit that has ever been uttered by human lips?? and that was oct-dec 2023?? HOW ARE WE ALIVE

saying this as respectfully as possible but. Do not put fandom content creators on a pedestal. We are also just fans contributing to a community just as you are. We have boundary on our own work and that’s it. What I say is not and should not be considered sth the whole fandom should listen to. I’m just a normal ass person ranting about things on my blog. If it does not have a fandom tag for others to engage in, do not make it out to be me trying to start fights or addressing the whole community. Because it’s not.

I’ve said it before and I will say it again, my art, my lore talk, is biased. I’ve never tried to hide that I view Marika a certain way and will always develop my theory following that base assumption.

Aside from translation stuffs and pointing out in-game items, everything else I say you can look at it, agree or disagree, and move on to form your own opinions. Just because I draw stuffs doesn’t mean you get to saddle me with responsibilities about managing fandom expectations. What the hell? I’m a fan artist, I’m the last person who you should look at for “leaderism” (?) WHAT?

I can and will be a hater in my own space, like I know sometimes other artists will just post their stuffs and not engage too heavily with fandom, and for a while I did try to do that here (because I’m already a dramatic ass on twitter), that’s just not me though.

You will get art and you will get my opinions as well.

#asking ppl to [celebrate different takes] is... WHAT?#different takes as in well I think she likes apples and you think she likes grapes. yeah that’s some fun discussion to be have #but different takes as in the fundamental of a character’s drive and personality??? NO #let’s put that down very clear here #I can still read fics where Marika is cold and calculate and manipulative as long as I can see there’re layers to it and the author #set it up in a way that I can see they got her backstory and build those layers based on that #and then there are ppl who literally only portray her as omg evil girlboss 101 let’s blame everything on this cardboard character #then I click back.#and there r ppl who might not vibe with how i portray her and they can ignore me. THAT'S OK TOO. we r in our own space.#it’s as simple as that!#ever since the dlc is out i literally could see the amount of ppl blocking me go up and im just “ok” because i do go around muting ppl too.#that's normal fandom space managing experience. pls do that #lore discussion is for ppl to engage in so u say ur piece i say mine and we can continue or not depending on situation #but FANWORK? leave each other alone or be a hater in ur own space ok?#personal #also where are these ppl who have been defending Marika at... because if u exclude me #and some others i can count on one hand. where are these ppl?#ppl saying headass stuffs about the HS aren't even Marika fans or engage too much in fandom to begin with #meanwhile u can't even find one youtube lore essay that says anything good about her #ppl are even trying to give Messmer's mother position to GEQ for no goddamn reason #like where is this overwhelming support for Marika at cuz as the active Marika stan around im not seeing it

wait wait wait, so we had: a gorgeously diverse, complicated story about the folly of the Jedi, set against the backdrop of truly fascinating Force witch lore and a potential deep-dive into the real fallout of suppressing emotion, complete with totally rad lightsaber fights, grayscale characters all around, and the coolest fucking helmet in the history of the franchise, all tucked into the world of Star Wars, which makes money simply by existing--and they cancelled it?? i am going to explode

#star wars #the acolyte #the acolyte spoilers #genuinely this is the most interesting thing they've done in this universe in YEARS #and yeah yeah there was the moment at the beginning where they for some reason decided there could be Fire in Space #but are you KIDDING me?? are you KIDDING #jacinto in this show is what kylo stans have been dreaming about for AGES #the twins are fucking FASCINATING #just the scene of a possessed wookie with a lightsaber alone should have yeeted this into the archives of Coolest Shit Ever #and you fucking wasted it?? you cancelled it?? are you out of your goddamn MIND disney???#a genuinely scary villain who somehow isn't the scariest thing about the show. complexity all around. lightsaber FISTFIGHTS.#i am going to lose my mind #i am so mad #you'd think i'd be used to this shit by now but come on dude

thinking about transfem sanji and "apparently-bisexual-now" zoro.

Sanji comes back to sabaody post ts with long hair and fem presenting, yet kicks zoros ass even harder than before and he's immediately smitten.

Zoro who's never been attracted to a woman before, but now all he can think of is sanjis long hair and pretty eyes and "yeah, okay, I guess this is it now."
