WHAT IS THE AMCU?   UPDATED POST

okay, ill admit, it’s something we came up with on a total whim, but ended up being incredibly attached to. 

amcu= asian marvel cinematic universe. speaks for itself.

ara (aka @oncman​) and i (@tohelp) were talking about the (appalling) lack of asian rep in the mcu & other movies, so we came up with asian!steve aka captain america and asian!bucky barnes in response to this website.

White-washing Asian roles in film abounds.

In a leaked email exchange with studio heads, Aaron Sorkin… complained about the so-called difficulty of adapting a movie with an Asian protagonist because “there aren’t any Asian movie stars.”

#StarringJohnCho is a social movement that shows you what it would look like if Hollywood blockbusters cast an Asian-American actor… as their leading man.

Today, only 1% of lead roles go to Asians. But studies show that films with diverse casts result in higher box office numbers and higher returns on investments for film companies…

WHO CAME UP WITH IT?

@oncman​ aka ara, and @tohelp aka ayli!

HOW CAN I JOIN?

it’s easy: check out the join page here and take a look at the suggested fcs for some major characters in mcu! if you find one that you like, feel free to make a blog for them and start rping!

ANYTHING ELSE?

yes! please, please be respectful to all the rpers, both affiliated (and not) with the amcu. this isn’t racism, it’s raising awareness.

☞     ‘   my fatal flaw is this: a morbid longing for the picturesque at all costs.   ’ ☞     ‘   i gave you credit for a little more savoir faire than that, if you don’t mind my          saying so.   ’ ☞     ‘   beauty is rarely soft or consolatory. quite the contrary. genuine beauty is          always quite alarming.   ’ ☞     ‘   and if beauty is terror, then what is desire ?   ’ ☞     ‘   what’ve you got ?   is that gin ?   where’d you dig that up ?   ’ ☞     ‘   do you have any plans ?    what are you doing for the next forty or fifty years         of your life ?   ’ ☞     ‘   by now my thoughts were so contradictory and disturbing that i could            no longer even speculate, only wonder dumbly at what was taking place          around me.   ’ ☞     ‘   whatever we call beautiful, we quiver before it.   ’ ☞     ‘   if we are strong enough in our souls we can rip away the veil and look that           naked, terrible beauty right in the face; let God consume us, devour us, unstring          our bones, then spit us out reborn.   ’ ☞     ‘   but how ?    how could you possibly justify cold blooded murder ?   ’ ☞     ‘   i prefer to think of it as redistribution of matter.   ’ ☞     ‘   it is a terrible thing to learn as a child that one is a being separate from the          world, that no one and no thing hurts along with one’s burned tongues and           skinned knees, that one’s aches and pains are all one’s own.   ’ ☞     ‘   i’m not particularly happy here, but you’re not particularly happy with where           you are, either  ’ ☞     ‘   beauty, unless she is wed to something more meaningful, is always superficial.   ’ ☞     ‘   love doesn’t conquer anything, and anyone who says it does is a fool.   ’ ☞     ‘   i am nothing in my soul if not obsessive.   ’ ☞     ‘   anything is grand if it is done at a large enough scale   ’ ☞     ‘   there is to me about this place a smell of rot, the smell of rot that ripe fruit         makes. nowhere, ever, have the hideous mechanics of birth and copulation and         death  been so brutal or been painted up to look so pretty; have so many people         put so much faith in lies and mutability and death, death, death.   ’ ☞     ‘   in short: i felt my existence was tainted, in some subtle but essential way.   ’ ☞     ‘   i suppose the shock of recognition is one of the nastiest shocks of all.   ’ ☞     ‘   any action, in the fullness of time, sinks to nothingness.   ’ ☞     ‘   all those layers of silence on silence.   ’ ☞     ‘   not quite what one expected, but one realizes it couldn’t have happened         any other way.   ’ ☞     ‘   what are the dead, anyway, but waves and energy ?   light shining from a          dead star ?   ’ ☞     ‘   how about a kiss for your jail bird brother ?   ’ ☞     ‘   she was like a reverie to me.   ’ ☞     ‘   we think we have many desires, but we in fact have one: to live. to live forever.   ’ ☞     ‘   in this swarm of cigarettes and dark sophistication they appeared here and         there like figures from an allegory, or long-dead celebrants from some forgotten         garden party.   ’ ☞     ‘   i’m not dead. i’m only having a bit of trouble with my passport.   ’

ok let me lay this down: kerry is the literal reason why this blog exists - in fact, why both these blogs exist. she’s actually an angel, and one moment led to another and we started talking about what it’s like to be asian here in the us. she’s amazingly kind, and so, so encouraging, as well as an absolute gift to the rp community and writers all over. love this girl, and you gotta see this for yourself.
