Crying over Bucky Barnes

Archaeologist turned museum worker turned library worker. Cat lady. I don't even know what this is any more. I have another blog, travelswithmyastromech.tumblr.com, where I post peculiar little photos of Star Wars figures. Everyone needs a hobby.

The first round is up right now. You can vote here.

Submissions are closed!

The polls will run for 1 week.

Please let me know if I didn't use the right name, fandom tag or image for a ship! If you don't like the image I used for a ship, feel free to send me a better one

You can submit propaganda via asks or reblogs at any point. Propaganda in reblogs will be reblogged, propaganda submitted in asks added to the main post. Anti-ship propaganda is also allowed.

Yes, this is seeded (at least partially. ships i wasn't familiar with were assigned to their match partners at random) (I tried and kind of failed to predict which fandoms would get invested in this)

Botting is discouraged but will not result in disqualification. If you care that much about a ship, by all means, go ahead. I don't really care :)

In the case of an exact tie, the two ships will move on to the next round as one merged entity. Is that very practical? No. Do I think it's funny? Yes!

If I feel like it and everyone's behaving well, there might be a third place poll

The most individualistic, selfish, enfeebling thinking and argument with a veneer of ableism and self-righteousness.

If we can’t even clear the “don’t be an asshole by being loud and disruptive in public while listening to music or videos” hurdle, we’re not gonna solve bigger issues like making public spaces and public goods more accessible and responsive to people.

The closer to the modern era you get the more fascinating "lost at sea" becomes as a backstory element. Being lost at sea in 1612 is a downright normal kind of lost to be. Being lost at sea in 2012 is like, okay, back up – I need to hear this one.

[prokopetz]

Like, come on, man.

He looks a bit different than I imagined.

[newnamesamecharlotte]

He looks exactly like I imagined.

i just think it's neat that odysseus gets put in a position where he has to kill his child to avoid going to war and he can't do it and then agamemnon gets put in a position where he has to kill his child to go to war and he does it

The NYC woodcock keeps reminding me of when someone posted on our local sub reddit warning everybody that he nearly got mugged trying to see an American woodcock. He had heard we had one in a park, but he went at night and a guy was looking at him weirdly and possibly following him a bit, so he got out of there and wanted to make sure everybody knew to stay safe.

Unbeknownst to him the location he'd gone to is one of the city's most infamous cruising spots, so the comments were split between people gently breaking this to him, birders giving woodcock sighting tips, and people going YEAH THAT SURE IS THE BEST PLACE TO SEE AN AMERICAN WOOD COCK.

I am sitting in an Iranian cafe waiting for my fried cheese and they have bottles of a drink the labels identify as yogurt soda and I am not brave enough to try it.

Do you think Clark Kent's first few major articles were about the continued presence of lead pipes in parts of Metropolis' water system

[teaboot]

(Average Metropolis reader after investigative reporter C. Kent's 452nd article on yet another case of landlords/business owners/factories' continued use of lead pipes/paint/gas/glass knowingly exposing the public to dangerously toxic lead levels) what the fuck happened to this guy

[teaboot]

One day Bruce Wayne mentions in an interview that heroes like Superman are overrated, as the most effective way to reduce crime is to provide public resources and improve local infrastructure, then cites how neighboring city Metropolis has effectively lowered their violent crime by 13% after addressing their outdated water system and investing low income housing. the reporter conducting the interview suddenly starts looking a little uncomfortable

[teaboot]

To be clear, Clark is still a fantastic investigative reporter. He still has to track down the sources to prove all this shit

[teaboot]

"Who, Clark Kent? Yeah, we're pretty sure he's a Meta. Is he a superhero? Like what, "Lead-detector guy"? "Captain pipes?" Don't get me wrong, he's a great guy and it's a handy trick, but it's lead detection, not laser vision. He's not about to go running around in tights any time soon."

I just love the idea of a cape maintaining their secret identity by pretending to be a completely different and less impressive kind of parahuman.

[roach-works]

everyone assumes that kent is so squirrely around superheros because he’s just desperately hoping not to be conscripted to the JLA to fix their plumbing

Local Metropolis Reporter Publically Recognized For Contributions To The City; Awarded Medal Of Distinction

[championofdnd]

They tried to get superman to present the medal but he was offended at being called "overrated" in comparison to Clark so he declined

Counter offer: Bruce Wayne disguised as Superman
