Barbara Lisicki and Alan Holdsworth aka Johnny Crescendo, veteran activists of the Disabled People's Direct Action Network or DAN, a Disability Rights Organisation. In 2022, a movie about them called Then Barbara Met Alan was released. It's sad that Tyler Trewhella never lived long to see this movie. I think they would've enjoyed it.

Peter is used to things not really ever going the way he plans or hopes. So when Doctor Strange is casting a spell to make everyone forget who he is as part of his last ditch effort idea to save his world and the multiverse, deep down he not surprised to end up head first in a dumpster. He is also not surprised to see that through his blinding headache, New York does not smell or look anything like what he is used to. He does know one thing though, and that is that he now hates the concept of the multiverse to his very core.

or

When Doctor Strange's attempts a spell to make everyone forget who Peter Parker is, Peter ends up across the multiverse in the city of Gotham. Confronted by different members of who he learns to be the BatFamily, he has to try and blend in. Unsure of what to do, Peter is plagued with his conscious desire to help the people of Gotham (because right now it looks like they desperately need it) as Spider-Man or to try and figure out how and if he can get home without being seen as a complete lunatic. Why not both? Besides, help might be in places he never even thought he could look.

This fight is bleeding over into the real world, threatening to destroy everything, so Wanda gets the idea to reopen the portal back to Mephisto's realm, and the fear of his realm merging with this one is enough to kill the battle... and in Mephisto's escape he tries to take back the Legion souls, only for them to be destroyed in the process.

Yall. I thought tumblr was a community centered app where we bond over fav characters while we collectively care for one another as we engage w content. And also maybe rant ab homophobes every once in a while bc we’re all queer in some way lol. Isn’t that like an experience inherent to having this app??

So WHY are there weird ppl on here being racist, or apologizing for Zionists, or saying that we shouldn’t have trigger warnings??? OR WHAT IS HAPPENING TO MY FEED. Is this happening to anyone else?? Like recently I’ve been seeing a rise in hate on this app in the Abbott elementary and marvel fandoms. Or have yalls feed been fine?? PLS LEMME KNOW

I don’t have twitter but are people really so vile on there towards babs and dickbabs just cus their ✨alien princess✨ isn’t with him? I used to be a dickory fan and then found out I prefer dickbabs instead and it baffles me on insta seeing dickbabs posts (mainly a post about a comic panel) and the comments have so many people saying they prefer starfire like why do they always feel the need to bring her into everything or their slagging off babs, then I see dickory posts and there won’t be anything bringing up babs

Bobbi is not only able to pull Wanda free from the portal and save her, she also takes a blast meant for Hawkeye... but she doesn't survive the damage...

And yeah... i know, that for a future plotline to work at all... something needs to happen right now that absolutely does not... I'm interested to see if they will even acknowledge this... or just ignore it... but that is like 15 years away so it is gonna be a hot minute before we get there.

Barbara said that she had no grand story to tell. No wind of History, none of the political turmoil of the times, nothing illustrative of any social drama. Violence, yes, but the acceptable face of violence, the kind of banal cruelty enacted within the family. That was all she said. Her own story, enmeshed in this one, is probably no more than the ordinary story of a lonely, unloved child, a child who has been silenced, forced to submit to someone stronger than they are; the kind of sadness that it is not easy to get over–a commonplace story. That is the only reason Barbara made films. To soothe. To heal the pain, assuage the humiliation, process the fear. “Wanda’s character is based on my own life and on my character, and also on the way I understand other people’s lives. Everything comes from my own experience. Everything I do is me." Once, during an interview, Marguerite Duras lost her temper: “Self-portrait, I don’t understand what that means. Really, I don’t. How do you want me to describe myself? You know, knowledge is a difficult thing, something that would need to be reassessed, the knowledge of a person. Who are you? Go on, answer me… see?” Wanda never cries. Actually she does once, much later on, standing at the sink in a motel bathroom. She’s crying and keeps saying I can’t do this, I can’t do this. And perhaps one other time, too, but it’s difficult to tell; after that time in the darkened cinema when someone stole what little money she had: night has fallen, she walks into a bar and goes straight to the bathroom, she’s splashing her face with water for a long time, we don’t know if she is crying then. When I cry I overdo it, I am overwhelmed, incapable of holding back the tears, incapable even of dissembling. Tears are perhaps the only articulation, however monstrous, of the part of me that is completely shameless. Sometimes when I am alone I find myself howling silently in front of the mirror as if I wanted to verify a hypothesis. All I can see is a frozen mask of tears, the twisted mouth, its perfect symmetry contorted, its fine lines glistening, my breath in apnea, its silence brutally imprinted on damp skin, a voice asking who is there, beneath the deformed skin. I look. I search for my face in vain, for the one so familiar it looks like a stone.

In the months preceding her death, Barbara Loden consulted numerous doctors. One of them explained to her that her cancer came from the fact that she did not cry enough. He knew how to apply pressure on certain parts of her body to make her cry. She was devastated by the torrent of emotions that erupted like a sudden revelation, even if its meaning was enigmatic. Precious weeks were lost in useless weeping while the illness spread throughout her body. There are noble words, painstaking words that take time, sublime, fateful pronouncements proffered for eternity; there are simple and profound words; there are sluggish, erratic, deformed, incoherent words–but Barbara’s words, her last, are the only words that manage simultaneously to express both rejection and powerlessness in the face of death: no cliché, rude outburst, or tautology. As she lay dying all she said was, Shit, Shit, Shit, then she spat out some tiny stones–it’s the liver, the nurse said–and died. And no doubt one bright morning, a still and radiant day, she too had once stood like Clarissa Dalloway at eighteen, “musing among the vegetables,” full of hope on a glorious spring morning as she looked toward the sky, watching the birds swoop through the air, mistaking a brief moment of abundance for the promise of long-lasting happiness. We will never know the source of the wound that condemns Wanda to this loneliness. We will never know what ancient betrayal or long distant neglect plunged her into this state of constant and absolute distress. We will never know what loss, what absence she cannot get over. We accept her the way we accept ourselves, in blind ignorance, unable to put a name to the grief of existing. Her face, Wanda’s face, inscrutable, sad, obstinate. To the journalist who asked him one day, “What is the best early training for a writer?” Ernest Hemingway answered, “An unhappy childhood.” How he must have sniggered as he helped himself to another scotch.
