This is truly a historic year. We’re either going to elect a woman, a Jew, the Zodiac Killer, or the start of the Fourth Reich.

listen. there’s nothing “boring” about ships that are stable and built on mutual trust and respect. there can be angst and drama and all those juicy bits without the characters being absolutely abysmal to each other all the damn time

fun fact: if you text a landline, it’ll call the landline in a robot voice and read the text
less fun: our intern was locked out this morning and didn’t realize the number she had for the other assistant was a landline so she texted it because she was locked out so at 9:30 this morning our phone rang with a robot voice loudly saying PLEASE LET ME IN before hanging up

if you were praised for being smart as a child and now feel crippling sensations of inadequacy when you don’t instantly know how to do something perfectly clap your hands

one of the many things I super love about Deadpool is that they treat negasonic teenage warhead like a teenager, sure she has awesome as fuck superpowers but she doesn’t have any sort of romantic hints, she isn’t irresponsible with her powers, she has a guardian with her when she does her (awesome) dangerous shit, she is most definitly not treated like a child, but she is also not treated like an adult, she has a responsible guardian with her when necessary
who even tries to feed her protein bars, I think that hollywood tends to forget that there is an in between stage, that teenagers do exist and need to be represented as something other than unrealistically mature or unrealistically immature

i want a nick fury movie tbh
like
i want a movie of nick fury & maria hill hunting down the scattered hydra cells and completely fucking up their shit
God I want this
And I want it as a straight up road trip movie as they take out Hydra in the US.
I want all or all but the final battle scenes to be off-screen.
I want them to consist of Nick listening in on a headset while muffled screams and weapons fire is heard, while he eats a nice sandwich and smiles to himself about how he told those assholes not to cross Maria.
I want another one to consist of them being held up at gunpoint, and I want Nick to say “would you like to?” and Maria gesturing with her hands still up, saying “no no, sir, I know you’ve been wanting to all day,” and he nods and she drops to the floor to get out of the way of gunfire, a filing cabinet crashes to the ground next to her, and she pries it open to sift through the intel while the shadow of bodies flying through the air cross over the paperwork as she reads.
I want them to become a regular at a diner at the geographical center of the country, where they tend to come and regroup and get some rest. And there should be a salt-of-the-earth waitress there with a midwestern accent who flirts with them both and knows how they like their eggs and coffee. I want Nick to tell more stories about his badass Grandfather and I want more backstory about him in general.
I want them to trade off between Maria’s vehicle of choice – a black SUV that, while somewhat obvious, basically has 99% of available SHIELD tactical gear neatly stowed in the back, and Nick’s vehicle of choice – a sedan from the early 80s that makes up in sheer stopping power what it lacks in style. Scenes of them cruising through the night with extremely classy music playing low on the radio.
I want them staying off the radar in cash-only motels, sharing a bottle of whiskey while they stitch up and plan their next move.
I want them dressed to the nines in an extremely expensive hotel – I want Nick in a straight-up tuxedo – when it’s time to infiltrate and get a high level operative out of the US government.
I want them to talk shit about the Avengers, but low-key. Except for Natasha. They both agree Natasha suffers fools about as well as they do.
… maybe what I really want is a Nick Fury TV series. Hm.
also Melinda May ditches Agents of SHIELD because they don’t appreciate her, and joins this roadtrip, yes/yes?
In the same week, Chris Rock compared a beautiful love story about two women to girl-on-girl porn, and Pornhub released stats that show that “Lesbian” is the most searched porn term in 30 states.
We can talk about how awful this is, how much they hate us. But instead I just want to give you all a reminder:
Your existence is not a porn category. Your sexual desires don’t exist for men. Your love isn’t inherently exhibitionist or wrong, and neither is your sex life. You are not here for them or their pleasure; you are here because you love and desire women. And no matter how many times some asshole jokes about you and your girlfriend’s kisses being ‘hot,’ no matter how many times how many time your lesbian-related google search leads you to a porn site, it doesn’t change the fact: there is nothing dirty about you, men have nothing to do with your intimacy, and they will never, ever understand.

leia ‘aren’t you a little short’ organa totally takes after her father anakin ‘shorter than i expected’ skywalker
luke ‘theres still light in him’ skywalker totally takes after his mother padme ‘theres still good in him’ amidala
honestly people try to make out that luke is like anakin and leia is like padme. but tbh watching the movies it seems like its completely the other way round

My tummy doesn’t have to be cute. It holds my internal organs.
My thighs don’t have to “crush men’s skulls”. I use them to carry myself.
My stretch marks don’t have to be tiger stripes I earned. They came when I grew.Stop.
feeling this
This!
I feel like even body positivity is too focused on, like, the appearance of the body. I know I became a whole lot happier with my body when I started thinking of it less in terms of how it looked (to me or anyone else) and realized, that, like…
When I feel cool breeze on my skin on a really hot day, my body did that for me.
When I step into a bath after a hike, and my muscles ache, but in a good way, and the steam all around me makes me feel like a flower blooming, my body did that for me.
And the hike before it, and standing on a large rock breathing the raw winter air seeing the power of the half-frozen river. That too.
When I’ve had a plate of pasta puttanesca, and I chopped and sauteed the ingredients and now I’m full-but-not-uncomfortable, and warm all over, and perfectly content, my body did that for me.
My body doesn’t have to look awesome to be awesome. It’s awesome because it’s where I live.
Best comment.
