Sunny, standing in the middle of the Secret Hideout: WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?!
Basil, freshly arrived with Kel and Aubrey at 1 AM: Sunny, it's late. It's so late, it's EARLY. Why are we out here?
Sunny: ...Why? Why?! Why do you think, Basil, because they are following us, THAT'S WHY!
Kel: Yeah, but you're not really being clear on who though???
Sunny: All of them. Everyone. The cops!
Interpol!
THE ILLUMINATI! THEY'RE TOTALLY REAL AND THEY'RE WATCHING US ALL THE TIME!!!
i know because [tumblr] told me.
Aubrey: Oh god, who let him on Tumblr?
Basil, even more nervous than his "normal" amount: Sunny... when's the last time you got some sleep?
Sunny: I don't know, who keeps track of that kind of thing?!
Basil: Sunny, I'm serious!
Sunny: Two, maybe three days? Doesn't matter, I have to stay alert so that thEY DON'T GET THE JUMP ON ME! *cracks open a can of Limited Time Diet Mountain Joe [tm] soda and guzzles it*
Basil: HOW MANY OF THOSE HAS HE HAD?!
Kel, looking at the nearby trash bin: I don't know, how many are in a thirty-two pack?
Basil:
Kel:
Aubrey:
Aubrey: ...thirty-two!
Kel, impressed by Aubrey's mathematical skills and lighting a blunt in celebration: Hmmm.
Basil: Do you really have to do that right now?!
Kel: No... But if I get high, this will all make more sense!
Basil, seething under the surface of his skin, but dealing with it quite well: ...Sunny, you need to calm do-
Sunny: *lets out a ungodly belch that is sure to make any mortal man quiver in awe*
Aubrey: wow
Sunny: YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!!! They have eyes everywhere!
Basil, still trying his best to keep his cool: Sunny. No one is watching us.
Kel, toked up beyond belief: I don't know, man. I'm starting to see some shit.
Basil, had enough: YOU ARE NOT HELPING!!!
Kel, giggling between every word:
No, I'm really not.:)

Dr. Strange thoughts
Overall, I enjoyed it. It was fun to watch and I'm glad I watched it in a theater.
But I did have a lot of problems with some things. And tbh all of them can probably be explained away, and that's fine, but I still have problems.
Wanda is stupid powerful. She made a whole orchard. She made her kids once, why couldn't she just make her kids again?? That was completely within her power even before the Darkhold corrupted her, as evidenced by the fact that it already happened.
Eye horror. I hate eye horror. I hate Stephen's third eye I hate it I hate it I hate it. Bad choice. Mystical overlay? Sure. Phyisical third eye that functions as an eye? I fucking hate it. I fucking hate it. I fucking hate it. I literally cannot express to you how much I fucking hate that. Take it away. Make it go away. How do I return this monstrosity?
In the beginning of the movie I thought America's power was cool, but manifested in a really obviously comic-booky way that didn't really fit with the style of the MCU. It felt more like something DC would do. I kind of got over that a little when we saw her backstory, and I mostly chocked it up to 'it's a power a little girl has, her moms' and her clothes had stars on them, maybe stars are just a really significant part of her culture, she's a small girl, it's whatever' but like. I'm fine with it but it's still kind of. Janky, I guess? It doesn't fit. Idk. Marvel really stayed away from the overly comicky aesthetic for the first few phases and now they're getting more and more comicky and I'm not sure how I feel about it.
Most of Wanda's villainy can be contributed as "the Darkhold made me do it" and I honestly kind of hate that cop-out? Wanda was already the most powerful person in the MCU, but they used the Darkhold as a McGuffin to make her a villain when she literally could have just already remade her kids with the power she already has.
Nothing against Wanda, but I don't think she should have been able to snap Xavier's neck like that. Lift him out of the chair and rip him to shreds? Sure. Snap his neck while he's using his mind shit? Probably not. I just don't think it was done believably. It could have been, but that wasn't it for me.
On the Illuminati note, I don't quite buy that Captain Carter, as badass as she is, was able to be one of the last ones standing.
Also. Anyone gonna mention that Captain Marvel was just. Crushed by a statue? Not even a statue falling at a great height at terminal velocity. Just. A statue. That got tipped over. Girl can survive unassisted atmospheric reentry and the vacuum of space, but can't handle a statue falling on her? Not buying it.
Again, I don't think Wanda couldn't defeat these people. I just don't believe the ways she did it.
But the thing that honestly bothered me the most was that Wong - of all the people in this entire multiverse, Sorcerer Supreme Wong - suggested that the only way to beat Wanda was for Stephen Strange to take the power -and thus the life - of a young girl. Instead of suggesting that she try controlling her own power, he insisted the only way forward was for Strange to take her power. It felt backwards. It felt wrong. It was wrong. Normally I don't say "That was out of character" if it's something the writer's made canon, but that was super out of character for Wong and I will stand by that.

OK I JUST WOKE UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND MY DREAM WAS REALLY WEIRD AND IT GAVE ME AN INSTANT GOOD KUSH AU—
Ok so— Mermaid and Pirate Au.
BUT—!
mermaids are the size of their fish genetic ×2.
If you're mixed with an angel fish you are the size of a human child when you become adult.
Sharks mixed genetics makes one the size of a average boat, bigger than humans.
Mermaids are mixed with fish genetics ×2 while sirens have simple but colorful tails only (and they're the size of a average human)
Ok now Imagine this—
Whale shark! Mer! Izuku x Pirate! Katsuki
Whale sharks are known to be the most largest sea creature in the ocean, imagine a mermaid twice that size LMAO.
Ok so whale sharks can be the size of a large koi fish when their babies so Izuku would look like an average baby mermaid, he sometimes get mistaken as a siren as a child. (Also a whale shark is very fitting for Izuku coz of— y'know, the dots on the whale sharks.)
Ok BACKSTORY—
Izuku likes to swim near boats as a kid.
Katsuki was born in the ocean, on the boat he was standing on coz both of his parents were pirates too (not mitsuki and masaru, I don't think they're good parents ngl.)
He also wants to be captain one day, leading the best ship and the best crew and all that jazz like his parents, like the legendary pirate who had crossed the 7 seas and lived, All Might.
He was kind of Isolated bcz they were always at sea but he was a pretty smart kid and his parent's crew were nice (ft. The whole UA staff coz why not—)
While Izuku's mom told him that he shouldn't ever go near a island coz Izuku's mom is really big and she could easily be spotted so they stayed in the deep waters. (Aka where the Illuminati thing kinda is, but we'll just call it the 7 seas mmk)
But Izuku is a very curious child, he follows is mother's rule ofc but she never told him to stay away from ships nearby.
So when he saw this really big ship, he was amazed by it. He followed the ship when they steered their sails for a few days, he's still close to his mama so it's ok.
Katsuki notices some kind of thing following their ship for the a while now, even as a child he's pretty sharp. So one night he decided to sneak out of his chambers to the edge of the boat to see if the thing is still there.
He looked down and saw a pair of green glowing eyes. He froze, he didn't what they were, they might be a siren from the books he had read but siren's eyes don't glow. And the creature hasn't even sung yet.
So he decided to approach it.
Izuku was surprised. He had seen this small blond human on the ship lot's of times during the day. He was small. Like him! He wondered if they would make good friends?
And when Katsuki finds out that Izuku was not a siren he was relieved,so when they started talking he was surprised of the amount of human words Izuku's knows (wonder who taught Izuku that—*cough* all might *cough*), but as much as Izuku's human speaking is pretty good it's not enough to make a conversation. So every night, Katsuki sneaks out and hangs with Izuku and taught him how to speak like a human and read human books.
4 weeks, nearing the end of the 7 seas after going around it (no one has ever gone through it without surviving, except all might)
Izuku had learned alot, he could read and speak human! Although not perfect but still can pass! But he's sad now coz he can't come with Katsuki, he had to stay close to his pod with his mom.
Katsuki was devastated when he heard this from his (one and only) fish crush friend, he promised that when he grows up, he'd be the best pirate of all time and he would be the next to cross the 7 seas without going around it and meet up with Deku (that was the closest thing Izuku could pronounce his name in human rather than mer tongue) and go on adventures with him.
Izuku, who cried, promise to stay in the 7 seas and wait for Kacchan (again, hard to pronounce words with Izuku's sharp teeth) to come back. So they pinky promised it and pulled each other close.
Nobody would believe a child when they say that they'd seen a mermaid every night while out in the 7 seas. No one would believe Katsuki when he'd say that he had his first kiss with a fish.
Ok so TIME SKIP.
Katsuki became a really well known pirate in all the ocean. He became the new captain on his parent's ship and improved it. He found a good trusting crew who were very skilled at what they do. (Ft. The whole class 1-A with Shinsou coz why not)
He'd found lot's of treasure and gave it to the poor people on islands. Fought a couple of high ranked bad villains of the sea. To the kingdom's rules around, he was a pirate. But to everyone, he was a hero.
So when the time came, he kind of forgotten his promise to Izuku and thought of those times with Izuku were very wistful dreams.
When his ship came close to the 7seas he decided to go through it like all might and to be the best. Ofc the crew was anxious but they trusted their captain.
But when they reached the one half of it, there were really big waves, everyone panicked. Trying to turn around. Katsuki held the steering wheel tight, trying to turn the ship around. Everyone was running around doing whatever they can to make the sails go to the opposite direction.
Then suddenly.
There was a huge spash.
And a very big shadow wad towering down ship.
Everyone slowly looked up and saw.
The most biggest person (?) They had ever seen.
It had dark-green hair with very round equally green eyes, lot's of freckles spreading on it's upper body, and it had a mouth with very sharp teeth.
A mouth that was smiling.
Like and Angel.
Katsuki became breathless.
The creature looked so familiar, just like—
"...Deku..?"
The creature laughed, eyes twinkled with excitement, it swam really fast to somewhere fast and flipped himself like a dolphin. the pirates looked at him in awe.
"Kacchan! Kacchan came back!" The creature swam back to it's original position near the ship and grabbed Katsuki by the back hem of his shirt, lifting him up the ship.
There were surprised and panicked sounds coming from the crew but Katsuki held his hands up, signaling to stop. Never looking away from Izuku.
Izuku placed Katsuki into one of his very large hands and held him up to his face. Katsuki reached out his arms and touched Izuku's nose.
"you... Fucking dumbass,... How did you get so big?!?" Katsuki exclaimed with pretend anger, not that it was convincing, his face had a smile threatening to break, he slapped Izuku's nose with not force.
Izuku giggled and kissed Katsuki all over his face. (Which. His lips are already all over Katsuki's face LMAO)
"I missed you Kacchan." Izuku smiled, "I love you."
Katsuki blushed and grumbled. Forcefully grabbing what he can on Izuku's cheeks and kissed him on the nose, muttering "I love you too..."
The crew from below the ship were confused, awe and low-key scared by this.
"Uh." Denki said dumbly.
Kirishima whistled "wow. Who knew Bakugro had a lover."
"Hah, a fish none the less too, no judgement though." Kyouka snorted.
"well I think they look cute together!" Ochako exclaimed.
"maybe this is why Bakugou wanted to cross the 7 seas? To see his one true love once again~." Sero said, while still looking at the huge ass fish carrying their captain.
"Uh." Kaminari said dumbly. Again.

Like I'm really tangibly uncomfortable rn or I would've read that Haaretz review more thoroughly, bc like… I'm used to the dogwhistles and doublespeak of "legitimized" racism against my other bgs & in my adult life, especially once it's coded into academic jargon, that first wave of panic when you aren't braced for it wears off faster & turns into anger and actionable energy very quickly as like a matter of survival.
And it's not even that I don't recognize this when it comes to antisemitism, I'm from New England, and MA feels like the home state of pretentious double entendres for hate speech, and bc my life is weird as all hell I was raised my whole life with a deliberate awareness of and sensitivity to this specific kind of racism over two decades before finding out I was Ashkenazi. That's my weird-ass life story. And yk I had to suspect, obviously, or I never would have Googled this book & this author. It's not that it's completely new to me.
But that like… this was reblogged by someone I'm following, who reblogged it from someone I'm following, when it feels to me so obviously revisionist & hostile… everything on this author's Wiki made me uncomfortable, that like his early life section made no mention of this man as Jewish or not when he refers to Jews & Russians as separate peoples, that he has this position of scholarly prestige while theorizing that elitist, "effeminate," "Mercurian" Jews ran the whole goddamn century + "we are all Jewish"… all the reviews I saw for the book on Google before going out of my way to scroll until I saw the link to Haaretz calling it daring, fascinating, informative, etc., while not going into much detail besides to refer to "the Jews" like they're discussing a research study… that I was clearly supposed to think of all this shit as being, somehow, "good," this like ~Elders of Zion~ Illuminati implications bullshit as positive in some way, that Gentile Communist Fanboys were sharing this as a way to show how enlightened and NON-antisemitic they were (unlike the capitalist alt-right??) while jerking off to the political ideology that killed & oppressed the people they hung the credit for around the necks of…
The effect in combination… it's fucking disturbing. It's upsetting shit. It's scary. I'm not some fucking WASP to not know when people are discussing me like I'm an insect under glass to be dissected or some kind of fucking monster goblin demon to exterminate, even if this particular set of labels is new to me, either. I know when the fuck to be scared. I know what that shit feels like & it's ugly. It's horrible.
And maybe it's bc I'm new to this face of antisemitism, or maybe it's bc I'm new to having those alarm bells ring for me personally, maybe it's 2017 being a goddamn dumpster fire, or me picking the wrong people to have access to my digital space, or maybe the shit is increasing on me, or maybe I'm just sensitive and fucking naïve. Or all of that. Or none of it.
But I really don't… like that shit. I really cannot stand by that shit, I can't even fucking scroll past and ignore it, and I can't do any of that shit without feeling really goddamn shaken up.
And like this is just… a post for me to like vent and verbalize this feeling and get it off my chest and out of my gut where it's sitting like a rock bc I can handle having slurs thrown at me. I can handle bullshit threats of violence. I can handle in your face shit. But this kind of thing… being erased & silenced & rewritten and fucking categorized like an animal, that shit bothers me. Every fucking time it bothers me. And idk how not to be bothered.
…And ykw? I do feel a little better after writing this. Bc sometimes you feel some things that make you need to scream or explode if you can't find the righg words. But the main thing is, you shouldn't have to feel that way. People shouldn't make you feel that way. And even for the little bit better that I feel, it's not fucking enough. And it's fucked up that I have to try so hard for it to be in the first place.
