So here’s another thing that I love about Leverage. 

Gina Bellman was 42 in 2008 when the show premiered and yet from the very first episode she is portrayed as beautiful and sexy and desirable. But not in a “she’s 42 but she’s sexy bc she looks 21″ kinda way and not in a “oh she’s a hot cougar I like older woman bc I a 20 year old manchild with an oedipal complex” kinda way. She’s portrayed as desirable bc Sophie is one badass bitch who can do anything and con anyone in any role she wants to. Also 42, despite what society tells us, is not actually old. But it feels like it is, for women at least. We are constantly bombarded with all this crap about how getting wrinkles in the worst thing ever and how looking over 30 is a horror story that should be avoided for as long as possible. 

But no. Sophie is over 30. She is over 40. And she looks it. And she looks great. Not she looks great for her age. Just she looks great. Period. She is proof that women who are over 30 are not old or pathetic or “passed their prime” or whatever else society would have us believe. Women who are over 30 can be whatever the fuck they want. Sophie can be the “mom” for the team but she can also be the geeky museum curator or the fucking english mob boss or the seductress with the tight short skirts. And she fucking kills it.

god im just thinking about how much going to public school in the MCU would’ve made me hate captain america. every time i got caught giving some bitch the finger or writing on bathroom walls or ditching class or stealing books from the library cause i got a fine or what have you, and then they gave me lunch detention or ISS and i sat in that dumbass eraser-smelling room and im in My Chair (the chair i always sit in and yell at anyone else who tries to take it), fuming, arms crossed, full of teen angst and hating everyone around me, and AGAIN had to watch this stupid fucking video ive already seen so many times that i know it by heart and every word grates on my eardrums and i’d just see this fuckin familiar face

and i would be ready to LOSE MY SHIT

Villain Origin Story

[stuckuptumblercunt-deactivated2]

god imagine Steve giving Peter his Captain America is Disappointed in You face/lecture over something dumb and Peter just fucking dissociating and zoning back in to “Peter! Are you even listening to me???” and looking him in the eye and being like “I’m completely immune at this point. You can’t even touch me.” and walking the fuck away

[anarcho-smarmyism]

canon.

[thor-20]

the real reason why Peter agreed to fight cap at the airport

[tonystarkstan]

I also firmly believe that not a single teen in the MCU would take Captain America seriously. I’m positive he’d be a total meme, and anytime some sort of disaster is happening, all the kids would just laugh, like “good luck.”

The News: Captain America may be our only hope.

High school kids, snorting: What’s he going to do, tell the villain he’s disappointed in them and to make better choices?

[anarcho-smarmyism]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[ms-demeanor]

Gen-X Supervillian confronting cap after years of PSAs: Oh no, it’s the star-spangled saint coming to tell me to make better choices. Whatcha gonna do, Cap, help an old lady cross the street at me?

Captain America, AKA Steve Rogers the pissed-off-Brooklynite who spent his youth getting into alley fights: The fuck are you talking about? Eat fist, dipshit.

Cap leans into it after four villains in a row get thrown for a loop by him insulting their mothers and swearing a blue streak during battles so he plays up the oh-shucks thing during interviews. That works great until the news catches him on camera saying “It was propaganda, you nazi fuckwit” while decking a superpowered alt-right millennial who came to attack a BLM march.

“It Was Propaganda, You Nazi Fuckwit” becomes the next meme. There are photo edits, there are tee shirts.

Steve buys a tee shirt.

Do we all remember the sterek scene in 2x02 when they were about to go into the station and Derek is like

“I’m gonna distract her”

And Stiles is like

“gimme a sample”

And all we get is like

“dead silence”

That right there wasn’t dead silence, it wasn’t Derek being awkward or unsure or anything else of that sort, it was Derek giving The Look™️

This look

It was Derek saying “look at my face”

“look at all this beautiful, beautiful hotness”

“look at this and tell me you could deny me of anything”

Derek might be an incapable flirter with the love of his life because the stakes are so high and his true emotions are complicated and constipated in many ways

But Derek knows his physicality okay, it’s been used against his time and time again, and he has made it his fucking WEAPON

He knows what he’s got and he knows how to use it

And he was probably wondering “why doesn’t Stiles think I’m pretty enough to distract everything and everyone in sight”

Which was probably one of the reasons he fell for Stiles, because Stiles saw through him and saved him for who he was, helped him for him and not his physical appearance

Which is why we get The Stiles Look™️

The sky when it snows is absolutely perfect. It can be 1 o’clock in the morning and bright outside. The silence of everything when it snows is beautiful. You can barely hear a sound when the snow covers everything. Just watching the snow fall and stick to the ground is beautiful. Yeah I guess it sucks that it’s cold and you have to shovel it out, but coming in from the cold and putting on warm clothes, sitting in the heat, and drinking hot chocolate is so relaxing. I miss the snow so much.

I have a headcanon that Hermione insists her children attend some primary muggle schooling before Hogwarts, just as she had done. Now, imagine Arthur Weasley attending his grandchild’s science fair, being the ultra proud grandfather….and yet also completely geeking out over absolutely EVERYTHING.

the kids would love him.

[bluefirecas]

Never have I ever loved anything more than I love this

[hexcoderose]

All the muggle teachers would think he was being so adorable, “pretending” not to know how potato batteries and mini-volcanoes work, fawning over the hard work the kids did on even the simplest the projects. And he comes every year, because after the kids have aged out (”gone on to some boarding school in Scotland,” the teachers say over bad coffee in the break room, “they didn’t seem the type”), he gets an honorary invitation to the fair every year, because he never stops making the kids feel smart and good.

“And this airy-o-plane, it flies by means of a… rubber band? Did I hear that correctly? No magic at all? Doesn’t flap its wings like a bird? MARVELOUS! What an ingenious method of flight!” *looks around* “You, sir! With the ribbons! This child deserves one of those prizes!”

I like those Pokemon variants crossed with other Pokemon as much as the next person but have you considered: Bulbasaur cultivars.

You, too, should learn about the history of selective breeding in the wild mustard plant!

[hisiheyah]

It has come to my attention that I used a faulty diagram for my source (not the one in the above article), so I must issue a correction: a turnip bulbasaur would be B. rapa and not B. oleracaea. Same genus, different species. Sorry turnipsaur, you belong on a different diagram.

so i tried my hand at the Spidersona trend and i made an OC that is absolutely not a Spiderman nor any sort of persona. Trapdoor aka Isadora acts as a willing, living portal for Arachne, a sentient hivemind swarm of “spiders” who has mysterious plans. Isadora smiles a lot and talks little. she is overall “a good guy,” which in a way makes her even scarier

Man, Ganke Lee, and by association, Miles Morales really got screwed over as far as the movies go. I can’t say for sure how this must have gone down, but like… 

It’s so weird…

He’s Miles’ best friend in the world, but it’s clear the people behind Homecoming really wanted him to be part of it, but they knew they couldn’t have “Ganke Lee” be Peter Parker’s best friend, because they’d just be switching him over, which would be weird, so they made him Ned Leeds, which is…weird in it’s own right, given where Ned Leeds… Leads, but lets not worry about that. The problem here being, he’s Just The Same As Ganke, 

And like… Miles then loses a best friend, because they can’t use the exact same character type behind two spider-men, even under a different name, and instead make it so he doesn’t know his roommate who would take up the same space as Ganke, at all.

And I’ve seen some people say that the roommate IS Ganke, and if THAT’S true, that’s even MORE fucked, cuz that dude ain’t Ganke-like in the slightest. If all you need to do to be Ganke is be Asian and friends with a spider-man then, fuck, that fuckin sucks.

Ganke’s one of my favorite like, supporting cast type characters nearly ever, and to see his character split apart like this sucks ass.

[vicholas]

Homecoming supposedly tries to do a “modern reimagening” of Peter Parker but the reality is that instead of trying to reimagine how the core aspects of Peter would work in a modern setting, they just grabbed traits from Miles (being popular at school instead of more of how Peter was never popular, going to a special academy instead of a regular high school) and called the character Peter Parker, to the point of stealing Miles’ own best friend and completely decontextualizing him.

I feel like this will inevitably hurt both Miles and Ganke if they get included in the MCU because they would be chalked down as unoriginal clones when it’s the other way around. Anyway fuck the MCU

It hasn’t been even 17 hours since I wrote in this post and look what one of Spiderverse’s screenwriters said

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(Having never seen homecoming or any non spiderverse spider man movie, and never read the comics, I didn't know about this. I knew there was supposed to be a friend who seemed cool but that was the extent)

when Spider-Man Noir said he liked egg creams i was like “well i don’t know what that is but it has ‘egg’ in it… wow, it must mean he’s so gritty and hard-boiled he likes drinking raw egg yolks or something" 

i just now looked it up and it turns out an egg cream is basically chocolate milk
