#tom holland is a feminist

[demiaroacejadeharley]

Brie Larson is one of the most unproblematic people to work for Marvel, and it sucks that people shit on her for simply talking about diversity in films.

Also, remember how people were comparing her ass to Tom Holland's and using it as an excuse to shit on her all because they thought her ass was flat? That woman has done nothing wrong, but people like to nitpick at her for the dumbest reason.

There are actual problematic Marvel actors like Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Olsen, Scarlett Johansson, Benedict Cumberbatch, Johnathan Majors, and Evangeline Lily (there's probably more problematic Marvel actors that I don't know about). These people actually have done things that deserve to be called out on. But y'all choose to complain about an unproblematic actress all because she's a feminist and for calling out how underrepresented marginalized people are in Hollywood.

It's almost 2024. We need to start treating Brie Larson and marginalized Marvel actors much better. We don't need it to be Star Wars Fandom 2.0.

The more I read these takes about the Barbie movie being "anti-men" and "feminist propaganda" (someone even called it like "anti-life" because of the opening montage of the girls breaking their baby dolls and relating it to abortion) makes me think about how we all need a basic understanding of art and media and its interpretation. Like, you don't even have to be a critic or a literary scholar for that, but analysing the way a piece of media wants to convey its message is so crucial in order to understand the creative substance (or sometimes the lack thereof) of it.

I remember being a kid (and a teenager) in the 2010s and wanting to understand the Marvel hype so bad. Everyone around me treated it like a cinematic, once-in-a-lifetime media wave you don't want to miss out on. I watched the movies with my brother and tried to get into the themes and the storytelling but something always felt like on-the-surface about them.

The only movie I really genuinely enjoyed as a piece of media from the MCU was Captain America: Civil War, probably. Because not only it posed vital questions about the nature of humanity (righteousness as a hamartia Vs conformity as a prison), but the Avengers' actions and both the central conflict and the antagonist being a metaphor of the rage and despair of the common man when the people in power(literally and figuratively) choose to put that power into full force without realizing its domino effect on the lives of common people, when ultimately no human life is above or below basic humanity, it just intrigued me the first time in the theatres and it still intrigues me today.

You can very much dismiss the themes of the movie as just Iron Man Vs Captain America Dick Measuring Contest and the movie just being a precursor for Tom Holland's Spiderman or Natasha Romanoff being reduced to a mediator between Tony and Steve, just like people are dismissing Barbie's existential crisis as a Karen Hissy Fit or the matriarchal structure of the Barbie Land as a "secret will" of "feminists" to push onto the real world or Ken's arc of self-acceptance is just "anti-men". Surface-level interpretation truly robs you of the joys of exploration of the facets of human nature and the nuances that the creative team puts behind a piece of media carefully for you to unravel.

Yes, people can derive various interpretation from the canon source, you don't have to run with the director or the writer's playbook in order to understand and enjoy a media, but the problem arises when such interpretations feel more like accusations rather than criticism. No art is perfect, no art exists to please everyone in the whole wide world. But if Marvel movies can be "progressive" with women literally just trying to fight for their place in a male-dominated world, why is Barbie "anti-men" for presenting a man who tries to do the same in a female-led society?

Yes, not everyone can relate to a feeling of loss of girlhood and innocence and existential dread and feelings of inadequacy ticking in your head like a time bomb, but it's a theme that's rarely explored in mainstream media and the reason Barbie worked so tremendously for so many people because it tapped into an unresolved, unraveled part of so many people's identities and let them have positive realisations about themselves. And even if the message didn't spoke to you on a personal level, it's okay to let it slide away from your periphery and don't bother with it. Hell knows I've been doing the same with the MCU since the last decade or so, it's not that hard.

you literally said that someone calling someone else conservative is an insult. and you get so riled up when I call your beliefs a mental problem. most liberals tend to be hypocritical snowflakes. Trump has done more in his short time as president than Obama did in his 2 terms.

okay and? Lmao I didn’t say it was a mental disorder. It can be an insult in my opinion if it’s by match the actual 100% conservative that don’t believe in equal rights for everyone (don’t fight me on this lmao most conservatives don’t like the LGBTQ community and are very traditional and don’t support women’s rights). I got all “riled” up because what you said is bullshit and disgusting. And nah you’re not right about Trump doing more. If you mean saying more offensive things then yes you are correct. Sorry I don’t know how you can support someone who calls Africa a “shithole country” and insults the CONTINENT’s people, but welcomed white immigrants from Norway? (His wife is an immigrant and doesn’t have US citizenship just an fyi) and someone who categorizes Mexicans as rapists and blaming them for the drug and job problems in this country.Let’s look at what good things Obama did:1) He rescued the country from the Great Recession, cutting the unemployment rate from 10% to 4.7% in 6 years2) He signed the Affordable Care Act which provides health insurance to over 20 million uninsured Americans3) Ordered for the capture and killing of Osama Bin Laden4) Passed the $787 billion America Recovery and Reinvestment Act to spur economic growth during the Great Recession5) Supported the LGBT community’s fight for marriage equality7) Commuted the sentences of nearly 1200 drug offenders to reverse “unjust and outdated prison sentences”8) Saved the U.S. auto industry9) Helped put the U.S. ontrack for energy independence by 202010) Began the drawdown of troops in Afghanistan 11) Signed the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals allowing as many as 5 million people living in the U.S. illegally to avoid deportation and receive work permits12) Signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act to re-regulate the financial sector13) Dropped the veteran homeless rate by 50 percent14) Reversed Bush-era torture policies15) Began the process of normalizing relations with Cuba16) Increased Department of Veteran Affairs funding17) Signed the Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility, and Disclosure Act18) Boosted fuel efficiency standards for cars19) Improved school nutrition with the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act20) Repealed the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy (which is honestly one of my favorite things he’s done)21) Signed the Hate Crimes Prevention Act, making it a federal crime to assault anyone based on sexual or gender identification (something our country desperately needed)22) Helped negotiate the landmark Iran Nuclear Deal23) He signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act to combat pay discrimination against women (he a feminist lmao don’t fight me. Another thing he did that’s one of my favorites)24) Nominated Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court, making her the first Hispanic ever to serve as a justice25) Supported veterans through a $78 billion tuition assistance GI bill26) Won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009 “for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples”27) Launched My Brother’s Keeper, a White House initiative designed to help young minorities achieve their full potential (again, he believes in equality FOR ALL)28) Expanded embryonic stem cell research leading to groundbreaking work in areas including spinal injury treatment and cancersooooo should I go on orrrrr 🤷‍♀️🤔And the things Trump has done for this country can be debated on if it’s actually good.He wants to be allies with Russian and North Korea. North Korea has gone back on MANY promises in the past to not attack using military weapons. Russia, well Putin was a spy and now he’s president and he’s involved with multiple dangerous people.He pulled out on the Paris Climate convention which says the US will not be participating with other major countries in trying to stop global warming. Oh and he said global warming isn’t real.He said his inauguration crowd was larger than Obama’s (lmao it wasn’t.)He accused Obama of wiretapping him, which Obama never did.He kinda confessed on Twitter that that Trump tower meeting with DJ jr. was to get “dirt” on Hilary. Keep in mind that he lied about it many times. He supports Roseanne Barr who is a known anti Jewish and a racist.He called Mexicans, “rapists” and said they were bringing drugs and crime into this country. Not knowing that there’s more white American citizens who have been prosecuted for rape. He blames immigrants on everything, including “stealing jobs”. No okay lmao first of all, no one is “stealing” any jobs. The employer is often going to hire the employee who is a better worker. So stop complaining like a little bitch saying a Mexican stoke your job and start working on becoming a harder and better worker. Plus another reason why more immigrants are being hired is because a lot of them don’t have much money after coming here from Mexico. And they are willing to work for anything to be able to have enough money to provide for their families. The American employer sees that and doesn’t give them a fare pay because they know the immigrant will work for anything. So they take advantage and lower the pay for that employee so they can keep the money for themselves.He also body shames women and treats them as if they were objects. He hates NATO because okay lesson time, NATO was put together because of the Soviet Union’s (Russia) rose to power during the Cold War and were taking over many nearby cities and torturing people. So some countries in Europe and and the Americas established NATO as an alliance to fight against the Soviet if they ever rise to power like that again. And you know why Trump pulled out of it? Because he’s friends with Putin and doesn’t want to be in an alliance against him.He also wants DACA gone because it protects immigrants. Not knowing that you can’t get a DACA if you have a criminal record of any kind.Says he loves all of the dreamers yet he’s very racist and unfair to the majority of the dreamers in this country (Latinos and Latinas).Promotes a “Space Force” lmao what even is that the next Star Wars movie.He wants abortion and birth control gone and his excuses is because of his religion (along with Mike Pence) and they wanna get rid of Planned Parenthood just because they give abortions. Planned Parenthood does get government funding, but that funding does not go to abortions, just basic medical help to new moms. My mom went to planned parenthood, she obviously didn’t get an abortion 😂And recently, Trump locks children in actual cages in support of Jeff Session’s “no tolerance policy” saying that if you come into this country illegally, they’re gonna rip your children away from you. Not only that, but they didn’t even bother to keep track of children in any way and many children are still separated from their parents. And Sessions quotes a bible verse while speaking about the policy. Yet Trump supporters who call themselves Christians ignore this one bible verse, “When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself for you were foreigners in Egypt. For I am the LORD your GOD.” Hmmmm 🤔Also, there’s this thing called Separation of Church and State that was mentioned by one of the founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson, going into detail about the First Amendment in the Establishment Clause and Free Exercise of the First Amendment. So he really shouldn’t use a bible verse to back up his shit. Along with Pence and Trump using their religious beliefs to cancel abortions.

But I do not agree with everything Obama did. He did do some, well not so good, well bad things too. So I do acknowledge that Obama isn’t all perfect. And I’m pointing out a lot of bad things Trump has done because those are the major key points. He hasn’t really done anything good for this country, or our allies. And he’s not a good leader by being racist and sexist.

Spies in Disguise: A Feminist Perspective

Fia – 15/07/2020

Last week, I watched Spies in Disguise, an action comedy animated film that came out in December 2019, with characters voiced by Will Smith and Tom Holland. Before I begin criticising it, I should say that I absolutely loved it. The characters were interesting and well developed, the story was easy to follow and fun to watch, and most of the jokes made me laugh out loud.

As an aspiring scientist myself, I was especially pleased to see the way science was brought into the spotlight (something which unfortunately doesn’t happen often in entertainment media) by Tom Holland’s character, Walter. I loved Walter. He was probably my favourite character of the film. Not only is he always passionate about science (which probably made me very biased in his favour), he is also wildly different from your typical action film male character. Walter is not physically strong and relies entirely on his brain to get him out of dangerous situations. He is also very close to his pet pigeon Lovey, adores pigeons in general, and enjoys Korean romance dramas. And most importantly, he repeatedly refuses to fight fire with fire and always seeks the solution that involves the least violence. Basically, nowhere near the traditional masculinity often depicted in this genre. He sets a precedent. I feel a tremendous joy for all the little boys and all the men who watched this film and came out of it having found a role model in Walter, knowing that they did not have to aspire to yet another representation of toxic masculinity, and instead could find joy in being kind, in being weird, in being themselves.

But I can’t help but wonder – what if Walter had been a woman instead of a man?

This is not to say that there are no inspiring women in important roles in this film. The spy agency itself is led by a woman, Joy (Reba McEntire), who keeps her cool in the tensest of situations and who recognises her mistakes. There is also Marcy (Rashida Jones), a BIPOC woman and funny, cat-loving badass who strives to fight for what’s right and refuses to allow corruption in the agency – although she does spend a large part of the film wrongly accusing the main character of being a villain and thus accidentally becoming somewhat of a villain herself.

Furthermore, Walter’s “tragic backstory” is centred around him being bullied and belittled by his peers for being a “weirdo” due to his passion for science and his creative, out-of-the-box approach to design weapons made to destabilise the enemy rather than harm them; he finds himself marginalised due to his open-minded pacifist views that the spies do not share. But now imagine how much stronger a female Walter’s backstory would have been. For every scene in which Lance (Will Smith) tells Walter that he has no place in the fight, we could have had Lance tell her to be a good girl and go back home – and of course her calling him out on his sexism and refusing to be treated like that. Because she would be a girl who grew up hearing and experiencing the stigma and stereotypes about women not being smart enough to go into STEM fields. A girl who has been through years of not being taken seriously, whether this be as a woman in science or as a passionate pacifist. A girl who has had enough of all of this and is determined to prove her ideas are worth listening to.

Another one of Walter’s character defining aspect is his close relationship to his mother, Wendy, who supports his ambitions for a less violent world – it would have been very interesting to see Wendy supporting her daughter’s aspirations knowing what it will be like for her as a woman in a largely male dominated field. Similarly, at one point of film Marcy has a conversation with Walter in which she tells him she knows how much it’s hurt him to be viewed as a “weirdo”, and she promises to help and support his work at the agency. This is another plot point that could have been made more interesting had Walter been a woman – Marcy could have directly empathised with her, woman to woman, which in my opinion would have given a lot more depth to both characters and to their relationship (we love to see women supporting women!)

And of course, as a role model, female Walter would have inspired so many. Seeing a woman in science would have been crucial not only for all the little girls watching, but also for all the boys to understand that science is not just for them, as is unfortunately illustrated by the astonishingly disproportionate ratio of male to female scientists that children are exposed to in their education (of course, there are and always have been women in STEM fields, but it is not enough for them to only exist if they are never actively talked about and presented as role models). It would also have been amazing if the film addressed the discrimination that women face in science – not to mention, action films in general are an extremely male dominated genre, so to have a woman in a main role would also have been very important and empowering from that perspective.

However, although it features a very diverse cast of characters, Spies in Disguise never once actually addresses sexism or racism – perhaps the film exists in an alternate universe where these have been eradicated, or never existed in the first place (this universe already gives humans the possibility to shape-shift into pigeons and back, so who knows)? But regardless of whether or not it is an alternate universe, the film was made to be viewed by an audience that lives on this version of Planet Earth, where these problems are unfortunately very much real and present in every aspect of our lives – so really they should have been discussed, even without a female Walter.

And even though I do love Walter as he is and think he already makes a huge difference, even though the film did not address the systemic social prejudice that most of the characters would have encountered in our universe, I still believe that seeing a woman as a confident, passionate, and dedicated scientist would have sent a very necessary message to all members of the audience and would have no doubt inspired many.

But in the end, Spies in Disguise remains a wonderful film as it is – and hopefully in the future we will have greater and better representation of science in pop culture, and especially of women in science.

CAPTAIN MARVEL EARLY REACTIONS!

There's at least 20 more, but Tumblr limits me to 10 pictures per post. The recurring themes I can gather is that Brie Larson nails it, Captain Marvel is a badass, Goose the cat is a scene stealer, there's so much cosmic awesomeness, and people are wanting the Skrulls to be the next big thing in the MCU (equivalent to what the Infinity Stones are at the moment). Everyone's loving it!

‪okay but imagine zendaya and saoirse ronan sharing the screen ‬

Tom Holland looks disgusting without makeup and we are disappointed.

The young hollywood star seems to show signs of fatigue without his usual movie’s filters and the constant care of his makeup crew. Tom Holland, who plays Spiderman is on a tour to promote his new movie Spiderman: Far From Home...

Angry much? Imagine that being done to almost every women ever, every-single-day, especially with female celebrities. Our society’s expectations for women are unattainable and UNREALISTIC. Nothing can explain the distorted beauty’s standards of nowadays, except misogyny. You wouldn’t tell Tom Holland to ATLEAST wear some concealers?!

ALSO, I’m calling out the people who creates similar headlines, i know you have to eat, that’s your job, but, think about your actions and the consequences on a bigger picture. Think about your kids, about people in general, about how many teenagers would suffer from that faux images of perfection. Be Human. Thank you.

final one of the series! MJ! my favourite character played by my favourite person and it shows! this is the only drawing out of the three that i’ve kinda liked! REBLOG DONT REPOST

[autoboty]

MJ: *ranting* I can't believe such an idiotic custom as prom still exists in our society. It's just an obsolete remnant of an oppressive, patriarchal system that advocates objectification of women like they're nothing but literal arm candy, promotes outdated Western beauty standards...

Peter: So...... I take it that you don't want to go to prom with me?

MJ: Shut up, Parker. I'm dancing with you till' the universe implodes.

Freed from masculinity: How Timothée Chalamet made me believe in the new man

Aline Laurent Mayard. 10/12/2022.  ESSAYS AND PAPERS

Article about this Essay :

Fascinated by the Franco-American actor Timothée Chalamet, whom she has observed closely since his performance in Call Me By Your Name , Aline Laurent-Mayard analyzes what "Chalamania" (name given to the excessive enthusiasm of a of youth for the actor) engenders new ways of looking at masculinity. From the attitude of Timothée Chalamet in an interview to his uninhibited dresscode on the red carpets, the journalist and author takes us, with Libérés de masculinité, how Timothée Chalamet made me believe in the new man , in an exciting odyssey of masculinities in the realm of pop culture. Maintenance.

How did your obsession with Timothée Chalamet come about?

I have a hard time with the term “obsession”, but let's say that I became very interested in Timothée Chalamet after seeing Call Me By Your Name . Inside, he's an excellent actor, filmed with great sensitivity, a sort of fragile, vulnerable eroticism. After the film, like many people, I started looking for information about it on the Internet. I thought he had something quite unusual. He was young, jovial, he looked humble. One of the reasons for his success, I think, is his likeability. Journalists say it's a pleasure to interview him, fans are thrilled because he always makes time for them, on the red carpet and on the street.

How does this behavior renew masculinity?

Kindness is not a valued quality in a man, because it is perceived as feminine. For women feelings, care, listening, and for men efficiency, rationality, performance. We have been inculcated with the idea that the feminine and the masculine are opposed, impervious, and that the masculine is superior to the feminine. So, if women manage to go into the realm of what is perceived as masculine, it is much less conceivable for men to go into the realm of the "feminine" - because in fact, they would go down the social ladder. . Few men are therefore ultimately built on values ​​such as kindness. Some very well-known figures did it, like Tom Hanks or Keanu Reeves, but it was not perceived as something sexy.

Until now, it was rather the bad boys who embodied the height of sexyness, as you analyze in your book...

Yes, the bad boys demonstrate how kindness is not valued, and how badness is! As I dug into the subject of bad boys, I realized how much we've learned that it's sexy for men to abuse women. However, when we accept that a guy speaks badly to us, or simply does not open up, it can lead to many other things, including violence and murder - in his latest book Reinventing Love, Mona Chollet has also conducted a rather staggering study on all these women who are passionate about murderers. Valuing kindness is for me a necessary step to reach a new phase of our society. We cannot hope that society will change and that men will be less violent if we continue to accept that they are so in our imaginations, and therefore in fiction, and if we do not put forward the men who propose reverse. It's important to open up imaginations because, after having deconstructed certain things, we now have to build new ones.

As such, is Timothée Chalamet a special case, or is he the figurehead of a new generation?

He is not the only one. Among the very well-known personalities and especially among young people, there is also Tom Holland ( Editor's note: actor, seen in Spiderman) and Harry Styles ( Editor's note: singer, ex-member of the group One Direction ), whom I quote a lot in my book . All three are part of a new approach to masculinity, kindness and vulnerability. Harry Styles is a lot into sartorial staging, he talks a lot about his mental health, he's an ally of feminist and LGBT causes. Its slogan is “ Treat people with kindness”. Tom Holland, he stages his relationship with his girlfriend Zendaya in a very egalitarian way; he laughs at being smaller than her, he supports her a lot in her work. This says something about the evolution of our society, that it is these three young men who are talking about them at the moment, to the detriment of bad boys who seem to have disappeared from the landscape.

These three representatives of a revival of masculinity are still cisgender, white, able-bodied and heterosexual men...

Yes. In the book, I am talking about all the other people like them who have not necessarily reached their level of success because they are queer or not white, but who also adopt this type of attitude. If I haven't found an equivalent of these three personalities in France, you just have to walk down the street to see that something is happening. We see it by the proliferation of skirts or nail polish on people who seem to be masculine. And then, when we speak with teenagers, we also see this evolution. We feel that the patriarchy is beginning to crack.

CAPTAIN MARVEL REVIEW [SPOILER-FREE]...

For some reason, there's been this toxic, volatile mass of incredibly opinionated people that have made their voices heard since this movie was announced in 2014, and their disgust for this film's existence has only snowballed since. And here we are; the movie is out, the internet is pointlessly enraged (because internet), and people are dishing out their reviews. Some people just can't wrap their heads around or accept that a female is the main hero, which is scarce throughout all superhero franchises at the moment. Is it fear hidden behind disgust? I don't know. Whatever it is, it's pretty sad.

Here's the thing, it's okay not being interested in a movie, but the way most negative people are coming across is sheer disapproval, not apprehension or scepticism. This goes for any film or franchise that has done the same, or is planning to do so. Heaven forbid we get an overdue female hero lead, twenty-one movies in, right?! But with all this being said, I'm going to review this movie simply as a movie. I'm not going to give it bonus points because she's a woman, nor am I gonna lower my score because she's a woman. I'm reviewing it as the next installment in the MCU, and as a standalone piece.

Right off the bat, I thoroughly enjoyed Captain Marvel. I'd read a few reviews before going to see it, but after seeing it for myself, I'm genuinely confused as to why the majority of people are giving it a "Yeaah, it's alright", reception. That's fine of course, but I found a lot to love about this nostalgic, sci-fi, buddy-cop movie. It's an above-par film when comparing it to other cinematic releases, but because we only tend to compare these films to other MCU installments at this point, people's standards are incredibly high, and dare I say we're somewhat spoilt because of this? I try to appreciate a movie for what it is, rather than what it isn't... Regardless I enjoyed it.

Think of it this way... Imagine how hard it is to keep finding new/fresh ways of doing an origin story for a new character, whilst making sure it's not the traditional style of origin, this far into a franchise. The lost memory and mystery keeps you guessing, and there were some very satisfying revelations. You have an idea of who she is and what she stands for, but you can't help but think she's being suppressed for some reason. You follow her journey, watching Carol slowly re-find herself to eventually let loose, showing what she's truly made of (literally). The intrigue and mystery elements aren't difficult to follow either so don't worry about the movie unintentionally muddling itself with too much shroudery (yeah, I just made that word up, but you know what I mean).

Brie Larson plays both a convincing Captain Marvel and Carol Danvers. The stubbornness that masks her compassion lets you know that yes, don't get on the wrong side of her, but it's never in an arrogant way. She's very likeable in the sense that she's never unnecessarily rude. Yeah, in her urge to prove herself initially, she's a little reckless, but that goes for every superpowered person that's finding how far they can push it. As the movie goes on, the more she discovers about herself and the world she's a part of. I could see a slow transition from start to finish. The human she truly is eventually works hand-in-hand with her god-like power, so you're not just watching some crazy omnipotent being rip everything a new one, you see Carol at the same time.

It's obvious I'm going to say Fury was awesome in this. I'm glad he had a lot to do in this, because I was worried he was gonna be a glorified cameo overused in the trailers, but he's not. It was cool seeing this pre-avengers Nick not quite on top of the S.H.I.E.L.D foodchain, but you see how he eventually becomes so. Somehow, he has the most sass in the movie. The de-aging technology is literally unnoticeable too, it was like genuinely looking at a younger Sam Jackson. The same goes for Clark Gregg as Coulson. I was trying hard to spot any rubbery CGI on their faces, but I couldn't. It was great.

Okay, I've been dying to talk about the Skrulls. I love, love, love them. I desperately want more of them in the future of the MCU. I don't care what direction they take with them, I just wanna see them again. I appreciated the use of practical make-up for them, and I really dug Talos' aussie accent. If I had to come up with an accent for a Skrull leader, I wouldn't have thought of giving him such a voice, but I'm glad they did because it's great. I have no issues with the supporting cast either, other than perhaps I'd have liked to have seen more, but there's only so much you can fit into a debut film, when the hero is the focal point. What I will say is that it was nice revisiting the Kree and fleshing out their portion of the MCU.

Finishing up, I can't wait to watch Captain Marvel again. The score, the aesthetics, the characters, and the references to the wider franchise (subtle and on the nose) were contributing factors to my enjoyment, but Captain Marvel as a hero is a why this movie succeeds. Well done Brie! Another fine addition to the MCU, and I can't wait to see what she brings to the table for Endgame! If you're not scared about a female being the lead role in a superhero movie, then you should enjoy it also.

so this is littlemix member!reader x tom holland

basically the girls bring out a new song about women empowerment (we have to stan😏) and like not needing a man (reader and tom are already together btw) and tom gets a little upset because he thinks the reader doesn’t want him but she reassures him that he’s perfect and it’s a fluffy ending where he really likes the song and promotes it with the girls <3

thank you:))

(Aww! Yes <3)

title: Joan of Arc

pairing: Tom Holland x Reader, Little Mix x member!Reader (platonic)

warnings: fluff and Tom being insecure

summary: You and you're band mates are in the process of recording a song. Tom hears the lyrics and becomes a little insecure.

A/N: This is probably gonna be my last request before I start my series, but I just had to do this it's so cute :). Enjoy!

━

"You ready,Y/N?" Pierre asks. You nod walking into the studio. Your boyfriend was right behind you with his hand on your back. Tom insisted on coming with you to the studio on his day off. He wanted to see the process of you girls making your new album "LM5". You girls only had one song left to record, Joan of Arc.

"I'm so excited to see you sing, Darling" Tom says rubs your back. You feel your cheeks start to turn red. You two have only been daiting for about a month, so you're still getting used to all his compliments.

"Um hello we're singing too, Spiderman" Jesy says laughing at your boyfriend. Tom rolls his eyes then sits next to the guy recording your group.

"I still can't believe you have a boyfriend, you've been the single one in the group for so long" Leigh Anne says teasingly. You roll your eyes then give her the middle finger.

"We're just teasing, y/n/n" Jade says before entering the sound booth. You all start to enter, but before you do you make sure to give Tom a peck on his cheek. You guys haven't really kissed on the lips yet, you're trying to take things slow so cheek kisses work. You enter the sound booth and place your headphones on.

The guy recording you gives a thumbs up and the music starts. Leigh starts singing. You glance over to see Tom moving his head to the beat. Next up to sing is Pierre, you then hear the deep voice say

Oh, you on that feminist tip?

Hell yeah I am!

All five of you sing. Now it's your turn to sing solo.

I don't need a man

If I'm loving you it's cause I can.

Tom loved the seductive sound of your voice. If he was being honest it was turning him on...that was until he processed the words you just said. He brushed it off and kept listening to you and the other girls sing. Then it was your turn again.

I don't need a man

If I'm loving you it's cause I can

Tom starts to feel sad hearing you sing those words. He knows that Little Mix is notorious for writing feminist and women empowerment songs, but this one just made him feel a certain way. Maybe you don't need him. Maybe you're too good for him.

I don't need your cash

I put my own rock on my hand

That line honestly hurt the worst. He wanted to put a ring on your hand one day. He wanted to spoil the living hell out of you. He knew you were the one for him, but what if he wasn't the one for you? You're to perfect, that's what he thought. To perfect for him. He wants you happy, but he doubts he can make you as happy as you deserve.

Just then you all come out of the booth

"That was great ladies, you're free to go." The man says. Tom gets up and walks towards the door without you. You and the other four girls look at each other with a confused look. Jesy nods her head telling you to go after him. You run out of the studio and see Tom sitting on a couch in the lobby. You walk over to him and tap his shoulder.

"Hey Bubs, what's wrong?" You ask sitting next to him. He doesn't meet your gaze at first, he's looking down at his hands. So you take it upon yourself to cup his chin and make him look you in the eyes.

"Hi" you say with that cute voice that Tom couldn't resist. His face starts to heat up and he chuckles. Then he frowns again.

"Seriously what's wrong, Lovie?" You ask him scooting closer and placing your legs over his. Now you're pretty much sitting on his lap. He carefully places his hand on your thigh. He makes sure you're okay with it though, obviously you were.

"Tell me, please" You says pouting. He can't resist you when you do that.

"It's...." He then mumbles the last part. Looking down at his lap.

"What?" You ask playing with his messy curls. You brushed a stray one out of his face and he looked in your eyes taking a deep breath.

"It's your song" he says quietly, but loud enough that you heard him.

"What's wrong with it?" You ask, fearing he thought you sucked.

"You....you said.....you didn't need a man and well...that kinda makes me realize, you don't, you're to perfect for me and I don't deserve you. In one line you said, "Drop your man down like you don't want him no more" and...I don't know it's stupid...you just...you deserve someone better." Tom says frowning.

"That's what this is about?" You say giggling a little. He nods, afraid that you thought he was stupid.

"Tom, the song was right I don't need a man" You tell him. He looks at you, all his hope drained. He then looks away and tries not to cry, but you cup his cheek to make him look back at you.

"No woman needs a man...that is unless it's their soulmate. You're mine Tom, so I do need you." You reassure him. Tom's face instantly lights up. He pulls you closer, given you were already about an inch apart, and crashes his lips into yours. You and Tom were having your first kiss...in the middle of the studio, so it didn't surprise you when you heard squealing and clapping from behind you. You pull away and look over your shoulder to see Leigh, Pierre, Jade, and Jesy instantly hide behind the front desk.

"How long have you lot been standing there?" You ask you friends who slowly get up from behind the table.

"Not that long..." Pierre starts. You give them a knowing look.

"...only since you left the room." Jade says smiling at the end. You shake your head and turn back to Tom smiling. He was already looking at you, his eyes filled with adoration. You rest your heads on each other's.

━

You wake up to your phone buzzing every few seconds. You opened your phone to see a shit ton of Instagram notifications.

Tom Holland tagged you in a post

You clicked on the notification and it took you too a post Tom made just a few minutes ago.

━

You knock on Tom's door and he opens it. You immediately wrap your arms around his neck and his go around you waist. He lifts you off the ground and spins you. Once you're back in the ground Tom kisses you on your lips, cheek, nose, forehead, basically your entire face.

"You're the best" You tell him.

"No you" he says before pulling you into a long passionate kiss.
