Underratedly, I think it's good for Samsonov to have a veteran goalie who has gone through game 7s on the bench as his backup tonight. Jones may know exactly what Samsonov needs to hear and when

Jays should all run the bases with the kids after the game today, just to remember what it's like. 😑

The X-Men comic book announcements are hot today!
Not only are we entering a “Fall of X” but we’re getting a prelude to the Fall called “Before the Fall”
Four new series will launch -- Mutants’ First Strike, Heralds of Apocalypse, The Sinister Four, and Sons of X.
The next X-Men Vote also begins tomorrow.
(Source)
But! Steve Orlando is writing Mutants’ First Strike! Could this be a continuation or offshoot of Marauders?
I mean, I’ve heard strong rumors X-Men Red is definitely NOT cancelled (writer themselves confirmed), even though they haven’t been in the solicits for the past few months. (I assume because it directly leads into Sins of Sinister, it might be on a bit of a break. Same with Immortal X-Men and such).
Hard to say, maybe Marauders is taking the same route?
Anyway, if you’re a fan of Legion of X -- check out Sons of X
Apocalypse/ -- A -- and Genesis (plus the original Four Horsemen) -- check out Heralds of X
You wanna see more Mr. Sinister (and the whole thing going on with card suits) -- The Sinister Four
And for Bishop, Cyclops, Jean Grey (and hopefully Marauder tie-ins) -- Mutants’ First Strike!
#marvel#comic news#marvel comics#jean grey#cyclops#scott summers#apocalypse#en sabah nur#bishop#lucas bishop#nathanial essex#mr sinister#x-men#i mean#I'm trying to be optimistic#seems like were due for a lot of team shake ups tho#too soon to say#but i sure can speculate!#also the next x-men vote

man am I looking forward to this reunion lmfao. oscar buddy as many questions as we fans have for you, ward will have so much more
"it's called being a monsterfucker, ward, you should try it sometime" ~Oscar, probably. I have a feeling he knows that term. I have a feeling Mr "the earth is fla-bbergasting" has a Tumblr. just a hunch.
Edit: fucked up and forgot to add this. This is fanart for a comic called Marble Sky you can find here on Tumblr by @somerandomdudelmao
#marble sky#marble sky fanart#Oscar (marble sky)#Ward (marble sky)#the kalidescope view#art wip#hey. hey oscar buddy. what the shit?#what the shit was that?#I'm trying to be cautiously optimistic and root for you#and you're making it a bid hard!!#hey guys. how are we doing after that last update.

I will never be able to do the sunset scene justice. I will never be able to recreate the most beautiful, romantic confession, character growth showing, most heart-pouring-out mushy bits you ever did see in a githyanki.
Because I.
Am a fool.
Who really wanted a dialogue option asking if keeping an illithid in the squad was gonna be a deal-breaker with this relationship.
Probably woulda ruined the tender moment pitching the piña colada friendship there.
....100% it would.
#baldur's gate 3#bg3 spoilers#bg3#bg3 fanart#bg3 comic#lae'zel#greygold#babe's taking that protective love language very seriously#But seriously every conversation with lae'zel during act 3 felt like I was one wrong dialogue option away with her breaking up with me#The dawning horror when you realize the sole joy of your life is trying to befriend your brain-eating mortal enemy#The dawning horror when you realize you've placed all your joy in an optimistically delusional fool#This is probably validating Lae'zel's fear of sharing her heart#because she placed her heart in Greyg and Greyg is now cowabungaing off a cliff into redeem-the-irredeemable-or-die-trying-ville#I'm so sorry Lae'zel kladjfkdjf#remember when I said relationships can get bumpy~?

"RIP to KaiShin shippers" this
"My sincerest condolences to the KaiShin nation" that
FOOLS! You think it will stop us or prevent us from shipping KaiShin?
I won't lie, the revelation hit us badly but we will rise like the phoenix, stronger than ever, and keep shipping them and making and enjoying content about them, no matter what movie 27 revealed.
The KaiShin nation will go on!

I stg if they make TBOSAS out to be this thing of like "Lucy Gray betrayed Snow and broke his heart and that's why he was how he was in THG" I'm gonna lose it.
Coriolanus Snow may have thought he loved Lucy Gray Baird, but it was always conditional on how long he could keep her. As soon as he knew she saw him for what he was and didn't trust him, he knew he had to get rid of her. Don't get it twisted.
TBOSAS is not a love story, Snow is not the victim.
He may have thought he loved her, but he loved power and standing more.
#I'm trying to be cautiously optimistic about this movie because i want it to be good#but then i remember what they did to the THG movies and get all upset again#tbosas#the ballad of songbirds and snakes#the hunger games

What did/do you like about Pharah?
Uh, gameplay-wise, I really love characters in shooters who rely on three-dimensional movement techs. Chaining together hover and jump to stay in the air for as long as possible and keep momentum is so satisfying, and picking enemies off from the sky made me feel like a bird of prey. I was a good Pharah main.
Story-wise, there unfortunately isn't much to canonically go off because Pharah is so underutilized and neglected. Her personality's pretty boilerplate "heroic hero" (she's literally inspired by Captain America).
But it's the crumbs/bits and pieces that I really latched onto. Pharah's a confirmed lesbian; her short story with Baptiste implies she harbors a crush on Mercy (fucking thank you.). She's biracial Egyptian/First Nations. She has major mommy issues, having grown up both admiring and resenting Ana. She's the bridge between Old Overwatch, inspired by the idealized heroes who surrounded her childhood, and New Overwatch. She's one of the only inter-generational characters in the cast; someone whose experiences span the gap, which is why I seriously believe Pharah would make a great main character.
There isn't much to go off of, though; she's a very uncomplicated character (she's a soldier for a private military corporation, lol.). But that just means she's a blank slate character, so I've seen fanfic writers run wild and create some really interesting takes on her. My favorite interpretation of her's a dense, herbo gym-bro type (a lot of her liens are about work outs, exercising, and playing sports) who's easily excitable under her seemingly self-serious, armored visage. We see how she tends to gloat and hype herself up when she's on a streak too, so Pharah definitely has a competitive and boastful side under her more professional and militant performance.
Now Mercy? Mercy is a real complex character.
#i was a diehard pharmercy shipper back then btw#the inherent homoerotic experience of pharmercy gameplay.#the homoerotic experience of looking to the skies to fly to safety under the protection of your knight in shining armor#the homoerotic experience of feeling white hot murderous rage at an enemy trying to pick off your pocket mercy#i still kinda despise gency lmao. you cannot convince me mercy would be in love with genji. at all.#he'd make her feel so uncomfortable and guilty. in my head. the canon is obviously different#gency is sexless. absolutely zero bite or tension.#i could go on about mercy and how her character has so much missed potential#i'm no longer in my overwatch fandom phase but#i still think about that new flirty line they added in ow2 where mercy goes “ahh you're like my knight in shining armor!”#and pharah goes “that's what i'm goin for ;)” and i sigh dreamily#really happy that pharah outright says she's a lesbian too but it's hard to feel good about rep when you know blizzard uses it for pr#to be honest i'm willing to bet cash that blizzard's keeping pharmercy in their back pocket as ammo for the next controversy#last year we already saw logs about pharah fretting and taking care of mercy and the two talking about how good it is to see each other#tbh pharah has the same energy/demeanor as applejack. cheerful and competitive in a can of whoopass#but yeah overall pharah's a pretty shallow character. i have IDEAS on how i'd go about deepening her but. whatever#that's sorta what happens when you have to juggle a cast of 40 characters. a lot get left with the bare minimum#ok so i wrote this entire post up saying that pharah isn't in ow2's storymode when she is. she's in the story i just. forgot#because she doesn't do or contribute anything interesting#ok i'm stopping here. overwatch's story is such an interesting narrative mess i could go on for hours#i dunno how you come up with such incredible character designs and give them such an unincredible story#it's also so so so interesting seeing the conflicting takes on characters the writers have#mercy in gameplay and voicelines is peppy and cheerful and optimistic#but mercy in the storymode journal logs is tired. jaded. a total shut in who forgets to leave her room and social#and YES! THAT'S WHAT I WANT!!! THAT'S MERCY TO ME!!! THE DOCTOR WHO FORGETS TO TAKE CARE OF HERSELF#ask me#anon

it’s also baffling to me that tumblr, home of the ‘why are white men Still being cast as the doctor’ for So many years now (For you know, like over a decade.) is somehow not appalled that they hired a white dude to be the next Doctor because look okay it’s okay if it’s This white man.
I mean, I do not consent to acknowledge that they’ve shoved him in there under any circumstance, but my Only need for the casting of the next person was that it was Not a white man, otherwise i didn’t care who it was, so when they “announced” Gatwa I was satisfied (i am hesitant to say they announced it bc it was more like a tiny footnote than an announcement, oh the disrespect) and it took a whole seven days (it was literally seven days. Yes i counted. it was easy since it was only seven days) it was ‘actually sorry no it’s this white dude we’ve already had before did we forget to mention that???’ and it’s steadily gotten worse and worse.
That This site of all places is not up in arms about both the situation and how it specifically played out is depressing, but also massively and darkly hilarious.
Especially since i Also remember nobody on this site thought casting Whittaker was good enough but literally going backward to a previous white man is?? This is not even a metaphor about diversity getting worse, they literally looked backwards.
But, yeah, tenn/ant with the ‘what the future looks like’ headline is uh... Good???? Not super worrying and ominous?
I feel like i’ve been dumped in some weird parallel universe by reactions to all of this on here like??? the whole way this was done was appalling, the situation is appalling, but i guess the bbc/disney should get a rousing round of applause for accurately judging that nobody would care about their poor actions if the specific white guy they cast was popular enough that next to nobody would care.
( and to the ‘it’s an anniversary ep’ thing, they legit could have just set a couple of eps in the past. i don’t mean they travel to the past. i mean just say ‘hey this ep is set during s4!’ and nobody would care. this show does weirder stuff than this every second episode. and it would still be bad, but how they did it is so much Worse.)
#dw shit#literally feel like i live in some wild parallel universe where weird shit is happening#genuinely#i am baffled#while also not being baffled at all#i try to be a realist rather than be cynical or optimistic but you know what#in this case#i honestly expected better of people#guess the cynicism would have helped here#idk i love 13 but i like jodie too and it'd Suck Balls to see her stomp on somebody else down the line#i'd hate it#i'd lose respect for her#but i've never been one for stan culture i guess#any bs on this one gets blocked and totally ignored tbh the level to which i do not care is So High#all i'm saying is#when they do more bs with white guys you Don't like#remember they learnt they can get away with it when nobody cared when they did it the first time#their litmus test has sure given Results

Another year has passed and though most of us live out our Pride all year round, it's officially our month to celebrate (almost). I've attempted this once before and unfortunately became too busy to finish it. This time things will be different. I've had an awful two months and it's time to turn stuff around. So please, join me in making some gifts for each other's OCs once again and make this month even more fun than it already is!
As a disclaimer, because I don't want to get too anxious about it again. I will only post your gift once you've posted one for me! It's happened a few too many times that people sent in either forms that aren't filled out properly or never posted a gift and I let it slide because I'm historically too nice (aka no backbone disease). I don't mean to sound like a nag and if you don't feel like editing you don't have to sign up or anything, that's why I do the polls. Anyways, your gift then you get mine.
The Rules and regulations are simple, but they exist nonetheless, so here they are:
The exchange, for now, is open until July 1st, though I may extend it who knows *Kevin James meme*
You may make 1-2 requests, but hey, I will probably reblog it saying you can make more once no one requests anything *Kevin James meme intensifies*
Please reblog this post to spread some awareness, please. You can like for remembrance but just a like doesn't count (you already know this, I know my 5 regulars who come here every time)!
As aforementioned, this is open to my regular drunks and new patrons alike, so please do not be shy. Think of me as I think of birds, I am more scared of you than you are of me.
Fill out the form linked below and find the password in the form!
Please only send me faceclaims with good quality and plenty of material to use. Also, no cartoon characters. Video game characters are all right if it's motion capture. I'm not trying to discriminate, it can just be really tough for me to find material for cartoons, animes, video games, etc. as I edit by making little video clips first blah blah blah. However, if you slide in my DMs we might be able to discuss some stuff.
Please, please, please fill out all the columns I need and choose at least two gift options. It makes it infinitely easier for me to make something for you. Just remember I can't read minds and it's worse when I can't find anything in your blogs.
Remember the pleases and thank you's, pleases and thank you's make my heart grow fond.
I don't do Harry Potter OCs or Stranger Things OCs and while I don't have a specific list of FCs I don't use, I ask that you do not request anything for overtly problematic actors, thank you!
I accept pretty much any gift in return, it can even be story reviews or playlists for people who don't/can't edit themselves. If it's a story review, please let me know in the form so I know you did as I don't check my accounts every day.
I'm fine with gifts for any of my OCs - my master list as well as the link to my Pinterest is in my pinned post.
Obviously, since this is a Pride exchange, please only send in LGBTQ+ OCs. Gay, lesbian, bi, pan, trans, etc. anything from the LGBTQ community - this excludes kinks and whatnot, obviously.
FOR ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS FEEL FREE TO SEND ME A MESSAGE AND I WILL TRY TO CLEAR EVERYTHING UP!
SEND IN THE PRIDEFUL FORM HERE, HERE HERE HERE, DO IT HERE, NOWHERE ELSE JUST HERE
TAGLIST: @eddysocs @ocs-supporting-ocs @foxesandmagic @veetlegeuse @decennia @hiddenqveendom @arrthurpendragon @luucypevensie @nikosasaki @noratilney @wordspin-shares @oneirataxia-girl @endless-oc-creations @lucys-chen @andromedalestrange @forchrissy @daughter-of-melpomene @bibaybe
#anna's pride exchange#i get my screw out next week#so i'm trying to stay optimistic about things#i am very tired of my bed after eight weeks

A huge reason I'm still going to the gym as frequently and working out as intensely as I can is because I think it would be iconic if I ever need to start using more visible aids while being buff as fuck. Plus, if an asshole is going to be ableist toward me, I'd have a convenient cane and convenient arm strength with which to use the cane.
#disability#my legs are Incredibly Strong right now and i'm proud#but i feel i'm working out in order to hopefully mitigate my body's degradation#i know for a fact my time in this body this pain-free (ish) is very limited and i don't want to grieve it yet#i'm trying to be optimistic but i don't want to be... wrong#but i just think the combination of Buff Guy With Cane is very iconic and frankly i need to see more of that#there's this idea that the more 'able' you look the more it must be true#and the pinnacle of health is stereotypically viewed as a Buff Guy#i am pretty fucking fit right now but i still am far from health perfection#my body is decaying in front of me and i'm going to do whatever i feel is warranted to help myself#anyway... it's just weird seeing what people perceive 'health' as
