iconic steven grant rogers moments that made my theater absolutely lose their shit:

• “hail hydra”

• “i could do this all day-” “yeah, i know”

• “that is america’s ass”

• him being able to hold mjölnir and then kicking thanos’ ass with it

• “avengers….assemble”

in short: he owned this movie and i will not tolerate any steve rogers slander from this point out

honestly tho that scene in the incredibles where mr. incredible sees the names of all the old super heroes that used to be his friends / that he knew from Back in the Day and how every one of them has been killed by syndrome is such a chilling scene for so many reasons 

like for one, everyone he knew is dead at this point and has been killed on the same island he’s at now and two, its heartbreaking bc that means that almost every hero wanted to try out being a hero again despite the laws against it and wanted to try and help someone out and relive their glory days, only to be straight up murdered like fuck that scene is just so fuckin intense

I think the core of that scene for me is, when you’re insane like me and you go through it frame by frame, you can work out that Gazerbeam defeated the omnidroid twice - the only super we have enough information to confirm did so. I always wondered about his body in the cave, how and why he got the password… But it makes sense. This thing goes haywire, gets an upgrade, and goes haywire again? He must have been hella suspicious! So he does what any good superhero would do - tries to get to the bottom of what’s really happening on Nomanisan Island. During the process he’s clearly caught and wounded but has just enough time to get himself somewhere he can leave a final message, just praying that the next super to come along will find it and break the cycle. Gazerbeam is my hero.

Incredibles 2 has a lot to live up to

[thatgirlwithanopinion-deactivat]

All of this and…

I’m just realizing that the name is No Man Is An Island???? As in, everyone needs someone to depend on and connect with, no one is ever completely alone or should act all on their own.

[swan2swan]

Also Gazerbeam probably has X-ray vision–so he not only survived long enough to defeat the Omnidroid, he had the ability to see Syndrome entering the password.

[animagix101]

Holy guacamole! I should pay more attention, I don’t think I got any of that stuff!

[frognonbinary-deactivated202412]

does anyone think about the fact that now mr. incredibles has to live w/ the fact that all his friends getting killed by syndrome could have been avoided if he had just been nicer to syndrome from the beginning

[breefolk-hates-staff]

^I was thinking that from the beginning reading this and was shocked it went through so many comments before anyone pointed that out.

Syndrome waited until his machine was almost ready to go before asking Bob to come to Nomanisan. He also was surprised to find out that he was married to “Elastigirl”, which means he likely built his list and went through everyone else before finally deciding it was time to kill Bob.

[gay-jesus-probably]

Also, Syndrome literally didn’t find Bob until the start of the movie. He found Frozone and was stalking him. If Lucius hadn’t hung out with Bob, then Frozone was going to be the next one lured. There’s literally a scene of Mirage realizing that the guy in the car with her target is Mr. Incredible. He wasn’t going through the list, he was stalking and finding every former Super he could, luring them to the island, and then killing them, for the sake of improving his robot. Finding Bob was just a happy accident, and Syndromes obsession with him meant that upon finding a bot that could beat Bob, he figured he’d hit perfection and was ready.

and like, let’s be real here in the intro Buddy was crossing the line the second he showed up, Mr. Incredible mentioned he’d been very nice to Buddy, via signing a ridiculous amount of autographs and doing pictures and stuff, and that he was not going to risk a childs life as a sidekick (albeit in less words). Buddy literally showed up by breaking into his car, and then stalked him all evening until he was arrested. That’s disturbingly obsessive behavior, there’s no amount of niceness that would stop Syndrome, it was an impossible situation. No amount of nice was going to appease Syndrome, the second he faced any sort of rejection from Mr. Incredible he was going to lose it and go supervillain. After his arrest he should have gotten put into therapy, but yknow, set in like. the 50′s. so it makes sense he fell through the cracks when the cracks were a goddamn canyon. Don’t victim blame Mr. Incredible.

[kiokushitakaa]

reblogging for the last comment because blaming mr incredible for the deaths of his comrades is honestly such a weird take and i dislike how it’s framed as “fact” when it’s not. it’s syndrome’s fault and syndrome’s fault alone. full stop. he murdered them because he was selfish, entitled, and obsessed with mr incredible to a fanatical degree.

[link-the-feral-anon]

You know what’s really great

In the beginning when Mr. Incredible says, “Go home, Buddy. I work alone.” He’s holding up Bomb Voyage

In Syndrome’s flashback, he’s looking down on him, no bad guy in sight

Do with that info what you will

Oh, shit. Really?

[lokicolouredglasses]

If you’re nearby, especially if you’re white, you should stick around and have your camera out.

Snopes says the cops in the photo here claim it was a hot day, and they were trying to prevent the cars overheating, but 1) Cops can lie and 2) Even if these cops DID have a good reason, I wouldn’t be surprised if there are others out there with less honest intentions.

Keep an eye out, and be safe.

[wishful-thinkment]

snopes: we asked the cops if these cops were up to no good and they said that they weren’t so it turns out that everything’s fine and there’s nothing to see here

[gemstone-gynoid]

Oh absolutely

[ragemovement]

Yeah lemme just block the road with my hood up to cool down my car….

Fun fact: cop cars are performance machines that use high tech parts to maintain power and reliability (the cops are lying)

Tips for fight scenes

If you get punched in the nose your eyes will water, a lot, even if it didn’t really hurt

Your body follows your head, your head gets pushed one way and your body will want to go that way

Getting hit in the stomach isn’t good, it hurts, getting hit in the diaphragm is worse. Causes your lungs to kinda spasm and make it hard to breathe (diaphragm is between stomach and chest)

When fighting a larger person they will have an easier time forcing you back

The jaw is the knockout button. Hit it hard enough and down for the count

Back of the head is very vulnerable, can cause serious damage if hit there

Kidney punches. They hurt. A lot.

People with experience will try to be where they are comfortable. A wrestler will try to get their opponent on the ground, a boxer will stay on their feet, etc.

Easiest counter to a kick is to get closer to whoever is throwing it, then they won’t have enough room for it to be effective

If you want realism, avoid fancy, flashy moves. They’re less practical and easier to counter.

[sexhaver]

fun fact: basically every mod on r/legaladvice is a cop. if you see a bunch of comments in a row that have been deleted for “offering bad advice”, you can replace “reddit” in the url with “ceddit” to see the same page with all the deleted comments still there, and roughly half the time the “"bad advice”“ is literally anything that suggests that maybe OP shouldn’t trust the cops

[stereocyon]

take a look at this thread. Ouch

[mioxenoblade]

Some of the deleted comments are actually useful advice holy fuck. Like “don’t let him scare you out of filing a report” how in the hell could that be considered bad advice?

[technogenic-mess]

Fuck cops.

Rutger Bregman is the Dutch historian who became a global sensation after an appearance at this year’s Davos summit, where he accused attending billionaires of ignoring taxation. Now he has created another viral moment in an extremely uncomfortable interview with Fox News’s Tucker Carlson.

Bregman so riled Carson with his accusations of hypocrisy, critiques of Fox’s conservative agenda, and attacks on Donald Trump that the TV host called him a “moron” and angrily told him: “Go fuck yourself.”

Lot more people around the world are going to watch this now than if it actually aired. Speaking truth to power is the best viral content!

You got any resources on writing trans men, specifically scenes where they come out to others? I'm writing a story where the character being trans is almost an afterthought, but I don't want to make simple mistakes either.

Hello!  I’m NB, but I definitely pass for a cis female and don’t suffer dysphoria, so I don’t think I’m the best person to ask.

Instead, I’ll direct you to trans bloggers, such as @transmlmworld, @transmanconfessions, @transmanproblems, @postdysphoria, and @trans-men-positivity.  

Here’s a handy link to 100 YouTube channels run by transgender people, and 21 books for Transgender Awareness Month.

Also note, having a trans character doesn’t need to be a big deal.  If you’re a cis author, it probably shouldn’t be.  Personally, one of my recent protagonists was a trans woman, who was one of the only emotionally healthy and genuinely self-confident characters in the book.  Being trans was an irrevocable aspect of her identity, but it was far from her most interesting attribute.  I didn’t want to capitalize off of the suffering of transgender people.

However, I still highly recommend you study the links in question.  You never know what mistakes you’ll make, or nuances you’ll miss, unless you commit to authenticity.  Since you asked me, you’re already on the right track!  

I hope this helps, and happy writing.  <3

honestly a good partner isn’t necessarily someone who loves the exact same things you love but rather someone who is willing to listen to you ramble on and on about a particular subject that you’re passionate about even if they have little to no interest in it

this is so important

I’m a lesbian and somehow I manage to walk down the street and not ogle women I find attractive, or cat call or degrade them, or touch them without permission, or interrupt their daily lives, it’s almost as if I’m treating them like human beings despite my attraction to them. What an insane concept.

[weareadvocates]

omg same

[notmadeofgold]

We were arguing about dress code in a meeting at work. And while my department knows I’m queer the other departments did not. As people (men) were saying that women showing skin and wearing tight clothes was distracting. I spoke up finally and said.

“I’m attracted to women.”

Everyone turned and looked at me and I was like “uhhh” so I finished.

“I’m attracted to women and I can still do my job. Regardless of what someone in my class is wearing. I can still teach. So why can’t you?”

The men all stayed silent.

Indigenous people in the Arctic: *cause virtually no harm to the environment with their hunting practices / have been sustainably hunting animals forever / have to suffer the consequences of food deserts and sky-high prices no white vegan will ever have to deal with* 

White vegans: you know what’s really bothering me…seal hunting…let’s stop that somehow…

[nin-i]

NOBODY SAYS THAT STOP LYING TO YOURSELF

[zanabism-deactivated20200529]

like it’s just embarrassing at this point that people are so absolutely delusional to what indigenous people have suffered because of ignorant campaigns and racist “activists” that prioritize their own principles over indigenous peoples’ rights  – and not just that!! they falsely portray hunting practices of indigenous people to encourage their being banned
