You’re an ugly, creepy straight man and you always will be. Lesbians and gay men see freaks like you and immediately know you’re not one of us and never will be.
If you had the lack of cowardice to say that when not cowering behind the mask of anonymity, I might actually give a fuck about your pathetic attempt at intimidative shit-flinging to feel bad. But probably not. Loser.

I will never stop noticing that the people I know who take the biggest risks with their careers are the ones who were gifted literal entire homes by family.
I love it when a superhero has different powers that come from completely unrelated sources and necessitate multiple unconnected origin stories. Somebody did not get the memo that the “secret origin” part of the form was not meant to be a “check all that apply” deal.
I stole a pair of shoes from SHIELD that let me travel through time and between dimensions. In the future, I got an implant that lets me communicate long distances and listen to the radio whenever I want. After a fight, my body got smashed up real bad and when they did surgery to fix me the implant got mixed in with everything else and now I have a sonic scream too.
I think my personal favourite has to be the Silver Samurai, who has the mutant power to cut anything with his sword, but also he can teleport, which isn’t a mutant power, but the effect of a magic ring that he stole from John Belushi.
@the9livesofamao replied:
Wait— John Belushi? The comedian?
Yes, John Belushi, the comedian. The Silver Samurai originally obtained his teleportation ring in Marvel Team-Up Volume 1, issue #74 (October 1978), in which Spider-Man teams up with the cast of Saturday Night Live. This has inexplicably remained in continuity ever since, though more recent references to the event have retconned it so that the Silver Samurai steals the ring from Chris Farley instead, presumably because the editors were concerned that younger kids wouldn’t know who John Belushi is.
So the real question is, how the hell did one of the SNL cast get hold of a magical teleportation ring?

Some are already like that, and it is hilarious how folks are reacting.
When discussing the (American) superhero genre, it's definitely worth remembering its Jewish protest roots, but it's just as important to criticize how Hollywood has turned the blockbuster superhero film into U.S. military propaganda--and before anyone shows up with the Batman argument, when was the last time cops were the villain in a Batman film? Arguably, Gotham (the tv show) did its best with that, but the main protagonist was who? The Token Good Cop...In order to have any access to the equipment mcu loves to use for their big superhero battles, they let the pentagon approve their final scripts to ensure they're "represented properly" which, you guessed it, results in a lot of pro-military sentiments within the films. Captain Marvel literally produced ads to encourage women to join the airforce because #girlpower. I mean....it doesn't really make sense to argue that pro-military/cop themes aren't an issue within the modern (American) superhero blockbuster. But! It also isn't fair to condense the superhero genre to just the mcu and dceu films/tv shows. And even within the mcu, there are films that aren't guilty of this, like Black Panther and Thor Ragnarok (and we know why). Beyond the mcu and dceu, there are so many pieces of incredible superhero media that have been released in the last decade, so really I think the solution is just. Consume other superhero media.
The way I literally have a letterboxd list about this
I’m????
Oh my God this actually explains so much.
So there’s a known thing in the study of human psychology/sociology/what-have-you where men are known to, on average, rely entirely on their female romantic partner for emotional support. Bonding with other men is done at a more superficial level involving fun group activities and conversations about general subjects but rarely involves actually leaning on other men or being really honest about emotional problems. Men use alcohol to be able to lower their inhibitions enough to expose themselves emotionally to other men, but if you can’t get emotional support unless you’re drunk, you have a problem.
So men need to have a woman in their lives to have anyone they can share their emotional needs and vulnerabilities with. However, since women are not socialized to fear sharing these things, women’s friendships with other women are heavily based on emotional support. If you can’t lean on her when you’re weak, she’s not your friend. To women, what friendship is is someone who listens to all your problems and keeps you company.
So this disconnect men are suffering from is that they think that only a person who is having sex with you will share their emotions and expect support. That’s what a romantic partner does. But women think that’s what a friend does. So women do it for their romantic partners and their friends and expect a male friend to do it for them the same as a female friend would. This fools the male friend into thinking there must be something romantic there when there is not.
This here is an example of patriarchy hurting everyone. Women have a much healthier approach to emotional support – they don’t die when widowed at nearly the rate that widowers die and they don’t suffer emotionally from divorce nearly as much even though they suffer much more financially, and this is because women don’t put all their emotional needs on one person. Women have a support network of other women. But men are trained to never share their emotions except with their wife or girlfriend, because that isn’t manly. So when she dies or leaves them, they have no one to turn to to help with the grief, causing higher rates of death, depression, alcoholism and general awfulness upon losing a romantic partner.
So men suffer terribly from being trained in this way. But women suffer in that they can’t reach out to male friends for basic friendship. I am not sure any man can comprehend how heartbreaking it is to realize that a guy you thought was your friend was really just trying to get into your pants. Friendship is real. It’s emotional, it’s important to us. We lean on our friends. Knowing that your friend was secretly seething with resentment when you were opening up to him and sharing your problems because he felt like he shouldn’t have to do that kind of emotional work for anyone not having sex with him, and he felt used by you for that reason, is horrible. And the fact that men can’t share emotional needs with other men means that lots of men who can’t get a girlfriend end up turning into horrible misogynistic people who think the world owes them the love of a woman, like it’s a commodity… because no one will die without sex. Masturbation exists. But people will die or suffer deep emotional trauma from having no one they can lean on emotionally. And men who are suffering deep emotional trauma, and have been trained to channel their personal trauma into rage because they can’t share it, become mass shooters, or rapists, or simply horrible misogynists.
The only way to fix this is to teach boys it’s okay to love your friends. It’s okay to share your needs and your problems with your friends. It’s okay to lean on your friends, to hug your friends, to be weak with your friends. Only if this is okay for boys to do with their male friends can this problem be resolved… so men, this one’s on you. Women can’t fix this for you; you don’t listen to us about matters of what it means to be a man. Fix your own shit and teach your brothers and sons and friends that this is okay, or everyone suffers.
The next time a guy says, “What? You don't want to be my friend?” I’ll text him this and then ask if he really wants to be friends or just have another potential girlfriend.
y’all I am living for these analyses where the new way to fight the patriarchy is to teach men to love each other and themselves

I had a dream that the king and the queen of a small country had a daughter. They needed a son, a first-born son, so in secret, without telling anyone of their child’s gender, they travelled to the nearby woods that were rumoured to house a witch.
They made a deal with that witch. They wanted a son, and they got one. A son, one made out of clay and wood, flexible enough to grow but sturdy enough to withstand its destined path, enchanted to look like a human child. The witch asked for only one thing, and that was for their daughter.
They left the girl readily.
The witch raised her as her own, and called her Thyme. The princess grew up unknowing of her heritage, grew up calling the witch Mama, and the witch did her very best to earn that title.
She was taught magic, and how to forage in the woods, how to build sturdy wooden structures and how to make the most delicious stews. The girl had a good life, and the witch was pleased.
The girl grew into a woman, and learned more and more powerful magics, grew stronger from hauling wood and stones and animals to cook, grew smarter as the witch taught her more.
She learned to deal with the people in the villages nearby, learned how to brew remedies and medicines and how to treat illness and injury, and learned how to tell when someone was lying.
Every time the pair went into town, the people would remark at just how similar Thyme was to her mother.
(Thyme does not know who and what she is. She does not know that she was born a princess, that she was sold. She only knows that one night after her mother read her a story about princesses and dragons, her mother had asked her if she ever wanted to be a princess.)
((Thyme only knows that she very quickly answered no. She likes being a witch, thank you very much, she likes the power that comes with it and the way that she can look at things and know their true nature.))
The witch starts preparing the ritual early, starts collecting the necessities in the winter so they can be ready by the fall equinox. Her daughter helps, and does not ask what this is for, just knows that it is important.
The witch looks at Thyme, both their hands raised into the air over a complicated array of plants, tended carefully to grow into a circle, and says, sorry.

Watch this video of Xena single-handedly destroying 100 men to get you in the mood to smash the patriarchy. This fight scene from One Against an Army (edited a bit for length) is one of the longest and most intense fights of the entire series and every second of it is an adrenaline rush.
This is just one of the things I love so much about Xena: Warrior Princess.
Look at this fight scene. Now compare it to similar scenes in modern shows and movies.
Xena isn’t worried about slow-motion glamor shots or eye-candy poses or sexy smoldering expressions. She’s entirely focused on kicking unholy amounts of ass and everything about her screen presence reflects this. She sweats, she snarls, she bares her teeth, she gives those fantastic war cries.
Sure her armor has a short skirt and a sweetheart neckline. But whenever she draws a blade, she is a THREAT, and I will always love that about her.
Also Lucy Lawless has the best “Fuck Around And Find Out” crazy eyes ever.
Why is it every time I see what’s going on in that extremely loose TV adaptation of the Discworld Watch books it results in my enacting the Hark, a Vagrant Poe meme?
Apparently evil wizard Carcer and his assistant Lupin Wonse have summoned an evil Vimes from an alternate universe to destroy the public’s opinion of him before he becomes an internationally known hero like he became in the books?
Also Carcer works for an evil cabal of wizards from the future, and he used to be friends with Vimes when they were kids?
And Vetinari is a straight-up villain and there’s a sword voiced by Matt Berry that the Watch had to dissolve in a magical pond to prevent the Patrician from using the sword for Evil Purposes?
And Angua was in the Watch before Carrot, but she works in a secretarial role due to her fears that being an actual Watchman could lead her to eating people (like the time her mum made her eat her human best friend when she was a kid)?
It’s… so weird. It’s a good thing that in future Discworld productions the executors of Terry’s estate have more creative control over what’s going on in the shows/films (with the Watch the BBC pushed out the Pratchett estate and basically did their own thing without the Pratchetts’ approval).
I’d imagine that if they had similar control over the upcoming Tiffany Aching projects they probably would have an excellently diverse cast, but at the same time the older Tiffany from the final book appears more often, the Wintersmith and the Elves are in cahoots, the and her younger brother’s personality revolves entirely around trains due to his wanting to get involved with them (their having just been invented in the main books) in the final novel.
i was so busy ignoring the watch adaptation that i forgot it existed but now i read this and i am flamingly angry all over again
Also Detritus dies and maybe comes backs back to life.
Which makes sense, I guess, from a production standpoint as the costume looks expensive, but knowing it happens annoys me on principle!
Having Old Lace be ornery and nap-prone in the Runaways TV Adaptation is suddenly a godsend.
What the actual fuck this is such an insult to Sir Terry’s legacy I hate it so much
Just going off the description here this show sounds like it has about as much in common with the Discworld books as Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure has with Doctor Who
It’s a fuckin train wreck and Rhiannon Pratchett has disavowed it completely, and there is still forward motion on a Watch series made by the actual Pratchett production company
I hope that if this happens it’ll be closer to the plot of the books ;-;
That was definitely what Rhiannon was saying
< Keeps fingers crossed for this <3
From what I’ve seen of it, it’s a great urbanized fantasy series that crippled itself by insisting it have Discworld names all over it, thus burdering itself unnecessarily with fan expectations it never stood a chance of meeting. Could easily stand alone, but was too scared to try, and thus shot itself in the foot.
