Jean and Scott in their respective teasers for Marvel Rivals
what if they were both on the battlefield?
I didn't even notice this, Scott let them put a fucking power dampening collar on him. He literally gave himself up to protect Lunella 😭
Also the way he's holding her? That's a dad right there
I know very little about marvel rivals, just the trailers and fan art. But I saw the cyclops trailer and the nerd in me is kinda battling.
I know he's probably gonna be a duelist since his power set kind of limits him to dps. But it seems like a shame to not make scott summers a strategist. I understand the game, strategist is just a name for support/disruptor characters, but still, it bothers me for some reason.
Like Scott is considered one of if not the best strategists in the Marvel Universe. He coordinates dozens of different xmen teams with different power and members. But having yhe power to shoot lasers out of his eyes doesn't scream support, maybe disruptor, but it just makes my brain itchy

we need to have a conversation about how the "everyone is 12" theory of politics now doesn't only apply to conservative men who want to kick the bad guys' asses and then go home and eat a steak their bangmommy made just for them (NO VEGGIES!!!) but also to adult women who are literally afraid of other people having sex and being sexy. it's like there's been this massive regression among women in their 20s where we've gotten rid of feminism and replaced it with a new form of purity politics that requires never saying anything bad about another women unless you find a new and creative way to call her a whore. the misuse of "she caters to the male gaze" as a new form of enlightened slut shaming, labeling any woman who wears a short skirt or has sex with a man as "not a girls' girl" and "a pick me," the intense overreaction to celebrity affairs or even just shit like the summer house mess where a woman is now dating another woman's ex even though there was no overlap and the "relationship" was just kind of a situationship that fizzled but now these little girls are online demanding both people involved in the new relationship lose their jobs and not get any brand deals, the panic over mildly sexual content in literally any capacity like ads or an instagram post in a crop top, the compulsion to link everything back to the epstein files, the monthly meltdown over sex scenes on tv and in movies. everyone is 12 and AFRAID of sabrina carpenter.

Fanfiction is insane. You can write porn so good you make friends.
why not have the reader re-read a sentence now and then? it won't hurt him....
there are a lot of really good ancient roman laws but i think my favorite is that, if you got struck by lightening and died, you couldnt have a proper burial because it meant that the gods hated you
“Jupiter cancelled him and we’re not going to question that”
genuinely asking: how would these laws apply to that guy who got struck by lightning on seven separate occasions but survived every time?
I think I would have assumed Zeus was trying to fuck him.
worst possible response thanks so much
"Azula slept her way to the top"
But... isn't Azula already on top by virtue of being a fire nation princess? Who tf do these people think she slept with lmao
They unironically try to claim she fucked Ozai and/or Azulon to "earn" all that respect, praise, privilege and protection, ignoring that: 1 - She's a CHILD. A deeply awkward one that canonically doesn't know how to flirt. She's not sleeping around with ANYONE, any adults "involved" with her are not "pawns in her game", they're predators abusing her.
2 - These two men owed her protection and privilege whether they liked her or not (and Azulon clearly didn't) on the basis of "She's their child/grandchild." Her being safe, pampered and admired reflects well on them. It shows that they can afford to to give her the best teachers, best clothes, best food, etc. It's the same reason Ozai didn't get rid of Zuko until he had the perfect excuse to do so and why Azulon allowed them all to live in the palace despite clearly only "liking" Iroh (in his own fucked up way).
3 - Like you said, PRINCESS. Born at the top. Elite. She doesn't HAVE to do anything. If even Zuko could get respect every now and then on the basis of being a prince despite being a dysfigured, banished one, Azula, who was still living in absolute luxury with guards and servants waiting on her 24/7, sure wasn't struggling for it.
4 - Azula is a prodigy, the only person we see with blue fire, and clearly is good at battle strategy AND at playing the role of intimidating royal - all of which are much better at earning her respect and admiration than, you know, dishonoring herself, aka what her sleeping with anyone she wasn't married to would be seen as (doubly so as a princess)
5 - Azula very clearly took ZERO liberties with ANY Fire Lord and that does not suggest an incestuous dynamic. Hell, it doesn't even suggest a normal family dynamic. They were untouchable. Gods on Earth. The power they held over her, and everybody, was absolute. It doesn't matter if they're giving her the highest honors or nothing at all, her job is to bow before them saying "thank you for not killing me."
It's a classic case of "People just assign generic villainous traits to whatever evil character is in question, regardless of it making sense." Evil Seductress is a common role for female villains, therefore Azula MUST be one. I've said it once, I'll say it again, she could be wearing a burka 100% of the time and never have any interaction with any male character and someone, somewhere would still convince themselves she's the type of villain that gets it on with anybody.
Extra stupid when they use the bedroom scene in The Awakening as "proof" she's indeed a Femme Fatale that slept her way to the top, through her own family no less, ignoring that:
1 - Azula didn't sleep with Zuko, nor did she promise to or hint that she would. The tension is undeniable (thanks to Grey adoring the ship and getting the greenlight to voice it as she wanted), but neither Azula nor Zuko made a move because of course they didn't. It was not the writer's intention to go there, even if it was Grey's, so it is a moment of "...there's something weird going on here" that the narrative proceeds to ignore permanently because it wasn't part of the plan. Like a shared intrusive thought/mind in the gutter moment both characters refused to act on or even acknowledge.
And even ignoring production/intention, in universe, it makes sense that they didn't: Taboo, honor, rivalry, them both being awkward teenagers, Zuko's paranoia around Azula, Azula's need to be "perfect", etc.
Making Freud proud for a fleeting moment and then repressing the hell out of it to sleep at night is not the same as being a Femme Fatale.
2 - Even if we pretend they had sex or that Azula offered/implied she'd do it: Azula didn't GAIN anything out of that scene. Hell, she didn't even try.
She didn't get new information about the Avatar and how he might have survived (or Zuko's plans to deal with it), didn't find out about him visiting Iroh, didn't get any insight into his relationship with Mai or push him to make it more serious or break up with her, didn't find out about his Blue Spirit shenanigans or about his doubts and indentity crisis, didn't make him confirm her story to Ozai, NOTHING.
Hero X Villain romance/subtext does not make the villain an Evil Seductress when it's based on genuine attraction, without any machiavellian motivation.
3 - Zuko is bellow Ozai/Azulon in the Royal Family hierarchy, and depending on the day and circumstance, he's bellow Azula (not in the fun way). She was holding all the cards in that specific moment. Making a move on him would at best change nothing, and at worse would either ruin them both OR would be HER giving HIM a bit of power, as he'd know a shameful secret of hers and/or have something he knows she wants to use to his advantage, much like Azula used his need for Ozai's validation to her advantage.
Azula's behavior in that scene genuinely just cannot be seen as anything other than her toying with Zuko like she always does and things getting a bit strange because of the context - they're two teenagers that haven't lived under the same roof, let alone acted like siblings, for YEARS, and now they're suddenly all alone in her bedroom, at night, with her wearing just a robe.
They don't know where they stand with each other anymore. Their relationship is a confusing mess of contradictory feelings they can't properly identify, so pretty much everything, from "Why can't we just be a happy, normal family?" to "I wish you didn't exist and want to get rid of you", has crossed their thoughts. Some inappropriate stuff was bound to sneak in eventually.
And again, it's their minds (and ours, and Grey's) going there, not the plot, so even if we accept "They are attracted to each other" (and I sure do) that STILL does not mean Azula is this evil seductress using sex as a weapon against Zuko for power.

who's my good boy?
Listen to me. Samira the first to find out about the divorce. Because she's fighting with her mom on the phone outside in the ambulance bay. Frank is fighting with the lawyers on the phone. Both yell FUCKKKKK at their phones. Commiserating ensues. Shift ends. Walking to bar. Excessive drinking. PASSING OUT HALF NAKED ON TOP OF EACH OTHER. Not friends. But something close. Processing anger and misery by fucking each other.
they tried to fuck while drunk but langdon couldn’t get it up and then they both fell asleep but they both still consider it a one night stand until it happens again and again and
