We need to talk about Sharon.

Hello tumblr, I strongly pondered about posting this but I’m so goddamn tired of the bullshit so here goes.

We need to talk about the one sided, unilateral, fandom shitting on Sharon Carter situation I’m seeing in a lot of places either from fans or from articles trying to ride the SteveBucky wave (a pairing I also ship and enjoy) by shitting on one of the few ladies in this movie and she truly fucking doesn’t deserve it.

A quick summary of Sharon Carter in the MCU: Was a SHIELD agent. Competent and badass enough to be assigned as Steve’s back up by Nick Fury if he needs one. Transfers to the CIA after the fall of SHIELD and is assigned as a leader of her own anti terrorist task force in Berlin, as explained in CACW. Great niece of Peggy Carter, she doesn’t explicitely tell people about it to avoid being judged on the family connection. Apparently had a good connection with her, talks fondly of her great aunt. Comes out with her secret at Peggy’s funeral, makes a great speech that already highlights how she’s not keen on the accords and hints at it while looking at Steve saying said speech (a dialogue that comes straight from the comics as well). Not afraid to kick ass, stood up to Rumlow in CATWS, and confidently had a go at brainwashed Bucky, tag-teaming with Nat. Top marks at the shooting range at the end of CATWS, it looks easy for her. Secretly provides Steve with informations about Bucky so he can find him before the task force, sneakily allow Steve and Sam to listen to the interrogation, then risk her job getting their gear back (Shield, falcon suit, etc) so they can go to Siberia. Obviously kept her distance with Steve when she was undercover as Kate but also obviously charmed by him AND SO WAS HE, as he initiated the flirting in CATWS. They are casually interested in each other, the movies never tried the “soul mate dot com angle” more like, “they’re cute, whoop”. Looks nothing like Peggy physically, but shares her loyalty and fierceness.

Now a quick bunch of points about Steve as well He has been out of the ice for 2 years in CATWS, 4 years in CACW He’s struggling to move on with loads of things but still adapting anyway. Mentions to Natasha that he has kissed people after coming out of the ice. He liked KATE. Awkward Steve was flirting and trying in CATWS. He finds out about Kate being Sharon and kinda looks like “oh, well, I see the same spirit in there, I suppose”. It was never hinted at that Steve liked Sharon because she was Peggy’s relative. It just basically added a layer of implied trust from him because she’s a Carter and there is loyalty in that. More random points: CACW hints at the fact that Sam knows Sharon, so maybe they’ve hanged out in between two Cap movies? I was intrigued at that. Some scenes are missing as I remember seeing behind the scenes of Sharon and Steve talking at a coffee shop after the funeral. Final point: STEVE. KISSES. HER. STEVE. It’s awkward as fuck and ill timed in a typical Steve fashion. Initiated by Steve. Steve. STEVE.

Here is the goddamn thing: I understand disliking Steve and Sharon together, I understand disliking the kiss or the pairing, I understand maybe not caring about Sharon, we all have different tastes and things we like in these movies. It’s cool, ship and let ship. As T’challa would say “I don’t care”. You do you etc. But.

The criticism I’ve seen about her completely ERASES her plot points and job and character always circling back to the kiss and the romance angle and how she’s a vile witch of sort. So many people in fandom are always writing posts about the lack of ladies in the MCU and when you get one with so much potential you throw her in the bin under false pretenses like she’s worthless and you MAKE her a love interest and everything about the kiss which is exactly what loads of peeps complained about all the time. On top of that, when the anger should be more about how we didn’t get enough of her in the first place we get cackling and gross comments about how she’s a useless piece of trash, some articles erasing her, she’s a “beige curtain” ( a dude wrote that in an article, I mean wow, amazing), or “she’s peggy lite”, like holy shit do people actually realise what the fuck they’re saying??? Watch the press tour (a press tour with like a million dudes and two women) and watch Emily VanCamp slaying with poise and grace when journalists think they’re being funny and clever attacking her character making inappropriate comments and always having a go at HER, making gross af assumptions that Steve’s only love is Peggy because of course Peggy hasn’t moved on and had kids and a life already, ammi right. Watch her passionately defend her character 150% time better than other peeps on their characters in this movie. Please tell me again how the vitriol aimed at her is perfectly normal, especially in a MCU fandom that wrote THOUSAND of fics about a white dude agent in a suit supporting character and even brought him back from the dead. But Sharon with her similar screen time and badass skills doesn’t even deserve to be treated ok apparently?? Where is my meta on Sharon? Where is my long ass dissertation on how natural she is at fighting side by side with Nat? Where is my post about her loyalty to Steve and the consequences of that? Where is my amazing back story about smol Sharon hanging out with old Peggy? And this is not about the no homo of Steve, I’m team Steve is bisexual and always have been, I LOVE Steve and Bucky too and in an interesting world the seed of this as a canon pairing in the MCU would have existed AS WELL. But I also believe this MCU batch of characters was settled in stone 10 years ago and Marvel will only kick itself in the butt with the next batch on LGBT rep, that’s another discussion. And anyway, I like both? Sharon is not a sad excuse for the gay ship not happening. Let’s stop this narrative right there. Let’s also stop the whole “it’s gross because she’s related to Peggy” like, my god, Steve kissed Peggy ONCE, and she was ONE of the loves in Steve’s life, Steve is a human being who can also move on and be attracted to cute people like everyone else. I fucking love Peggy Carter but fandom really likes to bring her back when it’s convenient, this is disrespectful to the parallel storylines as Peggy ALSO moved on. And loved again. So what if Steve likes Sharon and she likes him back, they have zero receipts to provide in the current context of the MCU except that Sharon is vaguely related to someone Steve kissed once. Sharon was canonically Steve’s partner in the comics (which deal with Sharon in good and bad ways, I’m aware) and it made sense for them to plan it, she’s already been given great stuff to build on in MCU but I worry the unilateral hatred will keep her in the sideline as well. I’m interested in Sharon on her own, she’s fucking great and funny and sassy and competent as fuck. She also takes no shit from Steve in CACW and I would love to see more of their relationship, they’re cute and she deserves to be happy and Steve deserves to be happy too. Stop shitting on Sharon Carter 2k16.

these lists of books to read before you die that are full of classics are all well and good but what if you don’t like classics? and what about the ya ones that are just full of popular series? so this is an alternative list of ya books you should read before you die. thanks to everyone who contributed books; i’ve had to miss some off because i’ve got more than 100, so i’ll probably include them on a second list. (also, i’ve not actually read all these books. it’s a group effort)

So is anyone else really fucked up about this James Deen thing? Because I really loved him and all of his videos. But even with the nature of most of his videos, no matter the role play, knowing that there were things that weren’t consented to really fucks me up. The fun part about rough play/rough role play is that you know your girl wants it and you know she’s enjoying it. How can you get the same pleasure from it knowing you’re doing things they want to stop?? That takes one of the most appealing factors away. The fact that six or seven women have come forward with stories about him… It sucks. It makes me feel sick because I’ve watched so many of his videos. Fuck James Deen.

PETA

you guys remember when PETA stole people pets off their porches and euthanized them?

you guys remember how it came out that PETA kills about 90% of the animals it takes in, including healthy and adoptable puppies and kittens, stating “ We could become a no-kill shelter immediately. It means we wouldn’t do as much work”?

you guys remember when PETA advocated killing all pit bulls for the crime of being pit bulls?

you guys remember when PETA handed out these comics to children when there were no adults looking?

you guys remember when they made a porn site and then filled it with videos of animal abuse, and (also in that link) claimed cats should be vegetarian?

you guys remember when PETA lied about sheep shearing, got caught, and defended the lie as true even after they admitted the sheep in their picture wasn’t even real?

you guys remember when they tried to excuse their horrifying ways by claiming that the person who exposed them was manipulating the facts by taking them and putting them in the wrong context?

Because I remember. I remember everything. 

And I’m gonna make sure everyone else remembers too. 

[ourladyofpainourladyofdreams-de]

Why would they kill pit bulls they’re sweeties

[spider-hands-mannos-deactivated]

Because PETA does not care about animals. they do not care that these dogs live and breathe and feel and want love like every other dog. they do not care about the history of human/dog bonding and co-evolution, they do not care that dogs and human beings have relied on each other for millennia, they do not care that its cruel and morally repugnant to put down an animal just because you can, they do not care about animals. 

PETA cares about money and publicity, its a corporation run by a psychopath who is afraid of pitts as it states in the link: she was apparently bit by one, and now she hates them. 

PETA doesn’t give a rats ass about animals. They just want to kill and make money off of idiots who fall of their spiel.

[ourladyofpainourladyofdreams-de]

Some celebs support them

[i-n-m-h]

ah c’mon, dear-tumb1r, I think you’re being a bit harsh. I mean, okay, PETA’s done some questionable things, but it’s not like they’ve also

-spread false information about milk causing autism based on outdated bullshit information

-used holocaust imagery to compare the meat industry to concentration camps (no pictures)

-used a young man’s brutal death as a way to say “yeah that’s awful but it happens to animals every day and nobody cares about that” (tw: no pictures but the way the guy died is described and it is really horrible)

-dressed up in KKK robes and protested outside of the Westminister Dog Show to protest breeding/pure bred dogs (tw: racism)

-offered to pay the water bill for literally the poorest neighborhood in Detroit if and only if they all went vegan for a month (tw: self-righteous shitheads)

-and they definitely didn’t have two of their workers accept perfectly healthy animals from an animal hospital, with the implication that they would give them good homes, clarify that these animals were all healthy and well-tempered, and then euthanized them all in the back of a kill-van before dumping their dead bodies behind a grocery store (tw: PICTURES OF DEAD ANIMALS, animal death)

-and they totally didn’t get off pretty much scot-free for it because PETA has loads of money and lawyers to defend themselves, which coincidentally might be why the Cerate family hasn’t seen justice for their kidnapped and murdered dog, Maya. (tw: animal death)

Nah. PETA’s not that bad.

(/the heaviest of all my fucking sarcasm, I am salty as a fucking winter road, lord do I fucking hate PETA)

[spider-hands-mannos-deactivated]

Did you think i was fucking joking, PETA?

I will make sure everyone fucking remembers what you’ve done. 

[spider-hands-mannos-deactivated]

Bringing it back, because it’s charity season and people need to know NOT to give charity to these fuckers. 

[katbatty]

PETA is bullshit.

[mickeygifsmain]

this is so fucked?? and the last clip is literally little mix’s situation?

[persephoneed]

This is why merch is so expensive, why concert tickets are so expensive, why some artists beg you not to illegally download their album, why big artists fight so hard for small artists, why it’s a problem that streaming sites/apps don’t pay the artists enough.

Record labels are literally like old school Hollywood studios - they own their artists in every sense of the word. And they exploit them.

[imtheblankspace]

MUSIC HAS FUCKING VALUE OK!?!??? The problem isn’t musicians being greedy and making too much money, it’s these record labels being fucking assholes and trying to get away with everything.

[katbatty]

As someone who has felt with the music industry since I was a teenager this shit is spot on. Record labels will take everything plus your soul and you will never escape. Being a creative anything in this society is difficult, that's why we need to support talented creative people.

PLEASE. ATTENTION. IMPORTANT. PLEASE. My followers from all around the world. This is the first time i'm asking for something THIS serious. And i need, we need your support. Turkish people, my people are standing up for their rights, after a long long time. First it started as a protest against a mall that will be built in one of our historical parks. But then it got bigger, it's not only about the trees anymore. It's about the people who got beaten, who got thrown tear gas bombs to their heads, who got intentionally hit by police cars, and killed. In here we are not allowed to speak are minds anymore, and media is not helping either. Help us spread the word, let the world know about what's happening here. I'm asking, wanting you to reblog this. Please. Once you finish reading this, please reblog.
