- And we pulled that stupid prank on you. - Wiener schnitzel and sauerkraut. - Yeah, we thought we were so clever. Eva von Braun, right? But you– you just set it aside, and you put your head down and got to work.

#and today on posts for girlies who are equally insane about s1 & s3 Margo #legit gonna throw UP. like what is she seeing in this picture at this very moment #forallmankindedit #For All Mankind #Margo Madison #having LOTS of thoughts on this.#the only mission control pic she has on display is from her FIDO days. not even flight. but from her very beginnings.#it does something to me. no disrespect to her entire career but deep down to me she'll always be #Margo who wanted to be a flight controller who wanted to be FIDO on a real mission guiding people safely into space and to the moon.#anyway can't decide what makes me more feral. the fact that it's Bill 'Margo you're outta your lane' Strausser who brings it up.#the way her features s o f t e n as soon as she picks up the frame.#the fact that the show springs this on her in THIS particular episode at THIS very time in her life.#the way this is most likely why she allows herself to openly dwell on this era and what it meant to her #like. she brings up Apollo 11 twice in s3. her good bye speech mirrors Gene's words. I'm feeling ill.

Now… Due to my birdflash fixation, I have completely struck out and decided to make this post to explain why I read/headcanon them as exes. I now realize that this is going to be a long, drawn out way of saying “I think they have explored each other’s bodies,” well, it’s a little bit more than that 😭. In my head, I always felt as though Wally and Dick’s relationship sometimes read to me as two people who felt greatly for each other in their youths then over time found other people and new purpose and continued to pull away from the other.

Sometimes they treat each other kind of like how I’d treat an ex boyfriend or girlfriend, especially in Flash/Nightwing years.

Now I think it’s important to talk about their roles as Robin and Kid Flash, they are characters created to be relatable, the whole sidekick schtick was about appealing to the younger audience. It was such an early era that it should be noted that Dick and Wally did not have anyone else. Unlike now, Dick has a plethora of Robins to have seperate and distinct relationships with, same thing with Wally, any insecurities and worries can make someone feel extremely lonely. They did not have anyone, anyone but each other.

The early years for Robin and Kid Flash must had been confusing for the both of them so they had to confide in each other. Around this time I feel like it could be easier to fall more into a queerplatonic relationship with someone, Dick could feel confused and lonely, as he does then seeks and finds in Wally, with emotions hitting a peak I could totally see them accidentally falling for the other and sharing a relationship that’s a little more than friends…

It’s a big contrast. Wally has shown this big obligation for helping Dick and being there for him. This has always been strange to me. His inclination to try and be that person for him, which to me can feel like someone clinging to a relationship they know is slipping away.

It’s important to note that as Nightwing, the people there for Dick was not Wally, by this time, Wally became the Flash, found family, found love and entered the JLA. He was moving on and so was Dick but they still feel this inclination to call each other “best friends” though all the evidence says otherwise. It feels like one is clinging to a broken friendship to me.

He’s always so concerned for Dick because he knows how often he represses his emotions.

It’s why in my head, I can totally see Dick and Wally in their Robin/Kid Flash eras, losing their way, getting confused and confiding in each other in let’s say: a romantic way and now as adults they don’t know how to deal with it.

I know Dick is just thinking here but like, they do this A LOT. Like what is the need for this constant tension in the air with these two? Why is it so awkward? Why does it feel like there is something they want to say but can’t bring themselves to say it?

It makes my mind want to fill in the blanks…

Here they are saying flatly that it feels like an obligation. This is the closest they’ve gotten to really talking about how their dynamic has changed. It’s very sweet. It’d also be due to outside factors, like DC not knowing what to do with these two and refusing to let these two acknowledge that they are not best friends anymore and their lives have changed greatly. The thing about Superhero comics is that there’s so much fighting that the characters never get a chance to sit and just talk so it’s more the writers constantly trying to cling on to what they remember the Robin/Kid Flash dynamic to be and making it seem like these characters are clinging to their relationship.

Thry gush about the progress they make a lot and Wally feels like… I don’t know, his pride may fill the void the graysons left behind? Like he’s kind of a subtle replacement. It helps with my idea that Dick could be greiving his parents then quickly subconsciously seek and confide in Wally. Their relationship just is distinctly different from all their other friends in a way I can never pin down or the writers refuse to acknowledge. How Dick is much closer to Donna and Roy but they both still are mindlessly attached to one another like there’s this secret third thing keeping them together.

Wally has fully moved on and found his soulmate. Dick found Kory and fell pathetically in love but now he has nothing again and in canon still does this “Oh my best best friend to ever was, Wally~” It feels very much like someone hasn’t gotten over their little break up… 🙄 Even now they still comfort and talk about each other with a little bit more love and affection then they might do their other friends for this same weird reason.

Although, there’s one Wally West panel that Birdflash shippers had taken out of context: the one where Wally says “I got married and he didn’t.”

It’s not saying that Wally wishes he got married to Dick, 😭 but even then that goes into the little foulder of evidence that proves I think Wally and Dick’s relationship is ex-coded because it’s literally a bunch of thought bubbles about how Wally is heartbroken that he has moved on with his life and his life with Dick and they are no longer as close as they once were at all. (I can’t fit the panel in this post so I can just hope you know what I’m talking about) <- but my point is: Birdflash as a ship could be so much better if we stopped ignoring Linda and started treating them as exes instead. It’s so much more interesting. This is what I mean when I say they are my favorite exes.

#i dont get the hate to this ship #<- ‘we should celebrate platonic male relationships’#they are platonic best friends and so is the ship you like #so should you just stop shipping them because they are platonic? no? exactly #and the whole ‘shipping birdflash just ignores linda’ thing that people do #shipping s*perbat also ignores lois lane but people don’t complain about that #clark and wally are just as family oriented in their characters #JUST AS. this would be a way of saying that any ship where someone has a significant other should not be shipped which is has been wrong #since the beginning of time #but i also definitely do think birdflash shippers who make it seem like wally would cheat on linda are very weird #stop it…#birdflash #wally west #batfam #dick grayson #nightwing #birdflash ex posting #ex ships #i probably have read for wally way more also now that i think about it #i really need to pick up more nightwing

Say what you will about Martin's writing style (and I've said plenty) but I do think he's got the White Walkers' mythos worked out for a future book and IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO NICE IF THE SHOWRUNNERS HAD DONE 1/100TH OF THAT WORK SETTING THEM UP

Gus: I am mad all over again that there was absolutely zero explanation given as to why/how the Night King operates or how his powers work or why he chose now to attack or ANYTHING ELSE

Gus: on the plus side it means I get to make up a whole subplot that, not to brag, I'm comfortable saying is at least as good as anything D&D could've made up IF THEY HAD EVER EVEN BOTHERED

Gus: but like - okay so craster's infant sons get sacrificed to the Night King, who them magics them into White Walkers as babies

Mardia: Yep yep

Gus: so does that mean there's a white walker nursery

Mardia: Omg

Gus: do they have to change diapers

Mardia: LOOOOOOOL

Gus: is there a white walker daycare center

Gus: how does the night king TEACH his lil adopted monster babies

Gus: is there like storytime around the - well not fire

Gus: does the Night King remember what it was like to sit around a fire?

Gus: does he miss being a human and all his rage at the spell the Children of the Forest put on him to kill the First Men has curdled his brain?

Gus: what was he DOING for like 8 millennia, just hanging out?

Gus: did he get really good at ice fishing?

Gus: DO THEY EAT?

Gus: where the fuck do they get their snazzy outfits from

Gus: are there white walker tailors

Gus: what's the currency situation

Mardia: Lololololololol

Gus: I'M JUST SAYING

#game of thrones #game of thrones motherfuckers #is there a white walker barber? some of those dudes have cute lil' bobs that takes maintenance #how did they learn to ride horses if they were turned at birth #again is there some sort of montessori school for white walkers #also why does the Children of the Forests' (Children's? of the Forest?) spell work on ALL life?#like wouldn't you have gone to pretty great lengths to control scope creep on this zombie spell #there's literally a one-sentence explanation of 'we needed to defend ourselves from men' ok but the Night King kills BEARS #not to mention a pretty big dragon #IDK maybe it just the *general stuff* right now but I always disliked the Night King as an enemy #because it combines two pretty shitty tropes: 1) the remorseless implacable evil who can never be reasoned/empathized with #and 2) the evil that the persecuted minority sekretly devised themselves to disastrous ends #plus the show isn't smart enough to pick a lane #the night king could be just a force of nature like a tsunami #OR he could be an angry vengeful creature twisted by his own creation - an actual CHARACTER #instead he's just an ice nazi from some terrible video game of the early oughts who smirks as he kills people #anyway dm me for the 2k backstory on the creation of the Night King and his White Walkers #winky face

People in this fandom erase a lot of characters features in fanart and it makes me mad. Like they make Ashes skinny a LOT, or change Nastya’s jawline/hairline. Message to all Mechs artists: PLEASE learn to draw diverse bodytypes. You can do it I believe in you

I’ve not seen skinny Ashes but I think if I did my insides would CURL.

Also yeah Nastya art really cisgirls her. I hate it so much.

#I hate that people cisgirl Nastya #and then will like #gleefully draw gunpowder Tim as transfemme #please pick a lane #(this does not go to beautiful user dropitdoeeyes who is an inspiration to us all)#the mechanisms #the mechanisms band #the mechs #the mechs band #nastya rasputina #ashes o'reilly

Despite everything, it's still you.

#me #ive cut back on lifting a lot due to injuries and struggles with my joints and instead picked up lane swimming in march #i had never used a public pool in my life and never swam with intent before #it was new and kind of terrifying but i needed to move my body again in a way that didnt cause pain #the first few times were pretty rough- i couldnt swim well or hold my breath and struggled with the repetitive motion and breathing #one day beams of sunlight shone through the airy space and large windows and cast shining watery reflections on the pool's bottom #i had been learning water caustics for 3d art and i loved to watch them #its gotten a lot easier now and i can let my mind wander and enjoy the sensations instead of worrying about drowning #the cool water on my skin #the muffled amniotic sounds of bubbling fluids #the mosaic tiles and patterns #the sunlight and caustics #every time i go its a social stress test- but I've gotten better at handling it and it helps me connect with other people in a tiny way #i dont know what the future of my body's training will look like as i plow into middle age #but im proud of myself for doing something totally new and finding joy in it

It's genuinely so crazy to me that some ms/dt shippers/tinhats have the perfect situation to NOT be misogynistic and yet. Like this seems like such a slam dunk polycule ship situation like everybody involved would be cool with it and fan the flames themselves like you could completely bypass the whole 'evil beard' trap most other rpf ships fall into how is that not infinitely more fun than the millionth "two white guys being forced with evil harpy beards who make them unhappy and force them to stay closeted" ship. I think some of these people enjoy the hating women part more than the actual shipping :/

The glee with which these bloggers post and ascribe nefarious motive to every innocuous little throwaway Twitter/Instagram post made by Anna and Georgia certainly does suggest that they enjoy the hating women part more than the shipping part. Like…these four people couldn’t be more fun and down with the gay shipping agenda and yet we still have this absolute clown behavior on here.

#I am one step away from actually getting into it with them. If you’ve followed me for any length of time you KNOW I stay in my lane.#I do not add comments to people’s posts I don’t pick on anyone but this is legitimately becoming concerning and so is the people they are #sucking in and normalizing this for

transsexual thursday

(am trans man) when misgendering turns from "she- I mean he" where people still see you as a girl but have to make a conscious effort to use he/him. to "he- I mean she" when they can't help but see me as a man and have to consciously change the pronouns they use to those less natural to them just to be mean <3.

luckily there are very few people in my life who fall into this camp, but even then self-report that they fully perceive me as a man and can't stop themselves. it's satisfying.

It's definitely weird, but like... there are just some people who like to start shit, and then fail at it so hard that it's less hurtful and more darkly comedic. I'm glad you can find the humour in that, but definitely take care of yourself out there 💛

#ask #anon #transsexual thursday #transphobia tw #i love when people are like 'oh but its just UNCONSCIOUS that i misgender you' and they make a CONSCIOUS effort to continue the misgendering #like... pick a lane. pick a struggle. skill issue!!!#i think for many trans people there comes a point where you do feel that hurt less and less on a general level #like that's not a GOOD thing don't get me wrong. but it won't always feel like your heart is being snatched out of your chest

The Internet: Don't give money to stuff JK Rowling is involved with or you're directly giving money to her to allow her to keep doing her bigotry.... ALSO if you so much as BREATHE the name Harry Potter, you are a transphobe, a bigot, AND an antisemite.

Also the Internet: omg im gonna see the FNAF movie a million times in theatres i cant wait yaaay 😌✨

Underrated Mission: Impossible moment that keeps me up at night is in Fallout, after Lane reveals he’s staying behind to die in the explosion, deciding he wants to torture and kill both Benji and Ilsa personally even though he’s confident everyone Ethan cares about will die anyway.

#mission impossible fallout #benji dunn #ilsa faust #mission impossible #i love philip seymour hoffman too but sean harris does not get enough love for the particular brand of sadistic nastiness he plays #can’t stand up against ethan physically so he goes after the two members of the team he feels he can dominate #the first time i saw fallout in theaters this scene nearly gave me a heart attack #something something the two people who keep being underestimated and/or targeted because they’re seen as ‘weaker’#something something women + queer men teaming up against the man obsessed with cis male heteronormative performances of strength #every action scene does tremendous character work but this one really gets me because lane really hates these two #and benji’s been worried the whole time he’ll end up as collateral in ilsa’s pursuit of lane #but benji comes for her anyway and she picks benji’s life over killing lane and completing her mission #i am forever cursed to be obsessed with the relationship dynamics between side characters but these movies especially scramble my brain

The Banshees of Inisherin / Polite Society / Spider-Man: Across the Spider-verse / Summer of Soul/They Cloned Tyrone /The Godfather/Rye Lane / Bottoms / Die Hard

9 Favourite First Time Watches: 2023

Tagged by @thatidomagirl and tagging @cryptiddies @icedsodapop @polarcell @naslostcontrol @kutputli @fishbarconcept and anyone else who wants to do it

#idk about you guys but i find something deeply poetic in the fact that godfather and bottoms are like. in the same convo #rwrb got pushed to 10th place when i remembered that i did actually watch the godfather trilogy this summer #hate to give a coppola some credit but the godfather is a classic for a reason #it even kept my mum (the jane austen addict who hates blood and violence) invested and awake for the full run time #marry me with jlo and owen wilson got pushed down to 11 when i remembered die hard asdfghj #the ones who got away (2023 releases) are joy ride and scrapper. and aftersun. and past lives #if i have to pick a fave it's rye lane #it was just so iconic in every way #the script the visual story-telling the characters #the peckham of it all #also quite funny how obviously i gravitate towards a movie of colour #like. white people can make great art and i'll likely get to it #but i've spent a whole lifetime seeing those movies and now i'm gonna go out of my way #to make sure i watch all the movies of colour that interest me #polite society and they cloned tyrone and rye lane really just tick all the boxes for me #in terms of like. sci-fi/magical realism within the plot or the visual choices #i really mourn the lack of attention they got but i also know neither of them got a cinema release in sweden #and neither of them got any kind of substantial promo in sweden #so i can only assume it's a similar deal in other places #tragically enough

Now he’s trying to lie when he literally tagged Princeton like 5 fucking time. White people are so evil, bro. They always know what they’re doing when they do shit like that. With the attempt to bring harm to Black people who they want to “get out of the way,” because they don’t think that we belong in the same spaces as them while at the same time, believing they should be allowed INTO our spaces and afforded hospitality and a whole red carpet rolled out. The sad thing is, she has connections to the industry because of her uncle and name so what if this was just a random Black woman who worked for Princeton without this kind of protection at all…?

#I’m glad that she’s alright though #why is he trying to dumb down what he intended by saying that ‘she was trolling so I trolled back’ like she like many other black people #are always dead serious when we tell whites and nbs to stay out of black folks business #simply put #he just got offended since a black woman told him to stay in his own lane #he dumb ass didn’t even know who she was even though he’d interviewed her family multiple times before #a Russian making millions off of black culture what a joke #black people gotta be tired of being used #one day man #the sad thing is of course black men hate black women sm that they were defending vlad on his behalf (not surprised lol)#and I saw other black women being pick me’s going on about ‘what makes her SO much more special than other black people-‘ like are you….#do you bitches have rocks for brains or… these same people are the reasons why nbs and whites will always feel comfortable coming into our #shit and wrecking the place you guys don’t stand for anything and you allow others to trample over your own people #stand up one day #the sad thing is #ppl are still gonna go onto his platform to allow him to interview them and make money off of their name #this is one of the first times that I’ve seen black people really get in vlad’s ass though because what he tried to do to this black woman #was absolutely vile and this is the kind of shit that gets black people killed and put into bad positions #fucking loser #rambling

Keeping my thoughts short as I find trying to write about my emotions just makes me feel them longer as I continue feeling them while writing about them. Do you ever find yourself wishing something upon yourself that would objectively make your life harder because “then it would be easier to make things make sense”. Like, no brain, having more symptoms of neurodivergence wouldn’t make things better except for in the very specific situation of diagnosis. It would just make our life harder the rest of the time. No dysphoria isn’t something to want either. Yes it would make it easier to parse out what the gender situation actually is. In both fronts we just have to be ok with never investigating and never getting an answer, because investigating is miserable due to how unhappy it makes me and without investigating I can’t get an answer. Now please stop thinking about myself and stop feeling the stomach void TM plus nausea.

#my post #Hi there irls I know you are probably not seeing this #I know it’s a running gag that I should see a psychiatrist and get diagnosed. I don’t meet enough criteria #I can’t give exact details as true to what I’ve mentioned I’ve banned myself from looking at the dsm for myself because it makes me miserab #There aren’t enough things to say I’m neurodivergent and something is… off about me or whatever that people can seem to clock there is #Something is but there isn’t enough and I’m going fucking insane about this again #Just sometimes my brain decides it can’t be a girl. That I need to fix it now. I have a binder. Put it on now. It screams as I am busy #And my binder is at home because I’m fucking fine most of the time. My current binder makes my chest too flat. I should get a shittier bind #It says. I don’t have opinions on pronouns except for when I do #oh hey they changed again.#Is my gender fluid? Do I just have dysphoria sometimes and not others? Why is my default state “idgaf” which is so hard to read #Pick a fucking lane me. Stop standing there #Except fucking moving means making myself miserable in the investigation process to pick a side #And so the easiest place to live is on the line between the lanes. I only get clipped by mirrors occasionally. It’ll take months of misery #To try to move again. So here I live.#In between.#I failed at keeping this short. I feel worse than when I started #Why do I bother writing out my emotions at all. It seems like distraction and then bed is always the best option.#Have a good (time of day)
