Marvel Comics #1000: We’re Calling Him Ben

[sulemania]

I feel this is an important addition. He saves so many people on a regular basis that this just keeps happening. And he feels so much for his uncle that the answer is always the same.

[drek-odradek-deactivated2022031]

…. This hits different when you realise he’s canonically Jewish

[marvel-and-dc-geek]

Can you please elaborate ? I’m curious as to what it means

[drek-odradek-deactivated2022031]

You can read a pretty good summary of it here, but as (most likely) Ashkenazi Jews, PP probably follows the minhag (custom) that says “that by naming a newborn child after a deceased loved one, the soul lives on through the child.” (Quoted from the site linked above.) And given how his Uncle Ben died, it just makes it all the more sadder tbh.

[roach-works]

another fine distinction is that the soul isn’t thought to be reincarnated, it’s that the memory of the loved one is kept alive and more good deeds in life can be inspired by (and thus partially attributed to) the dead. ‘may their memory be a blessing’–the memory of the deceased is honored, respected, and who they were is retold as inspiration to the next generation. 

ben’s memory is a blessing. that’s extremely jewish. spiderman is inspired not just by the shame of his death, but by the moral teachings he’d given peter in life. and his name given to these babies is another part of it: babies named in spiderman’s honor are also very honestly and truly named in his honor, and continue to be blessings to the world. 

it’s very joyous, i think. very sweet.

I say this without a shred of irony:

pageant moms are abusive monsters.

[just-a-donut-who-reads]

beauty pageants are toxic environments and perpetuate abnormal beauty standards.

[eerieticals-deactivated20220522]

[hellri]

nico with the hat

[phoebethephoenix7]

YES BITCH THAT'S WHAT I NEEDED TO SEE

[aknosde]

I made this post a while ago about the lack of a Percy/ Nico friendship, and I wrote a fic featuring their friendship, so if you’re curious, it’s Call Me on AO3, or you could read it right here.

TW for attempted suicide, disordered eating, self harm, and depression. Post HOO, but mostly spoiler free, just mentions his tattoo and maybe Tartarus.

Percy and Nico made a promise on the River Styx, if either ever felt really depressed or like they might attempt suicide they have to call the other. Nico receives an Iris Message on a Tuesday.

Continuar lendo

[mooncustafer]

New headcannon: everyone in that song is gay except the Piano Man who has no idea he’s playing at a gay bar and the staff and regulars have a betting pool on how long he’ll take to finally figure it out. So far John is ahead.

[couldnt-think-of-a-funny-name]

Nico and Percy’s dynamic in BotL is honestly the funniest fucking thing because Percy’s this emotionally exhausted 15 year old who is the sole person concerned about this feral 11 year old street urchin that wants to kill him…Chiron and the rest of the camp are just like ‘sometimes, children are homeless and they die. what can you do😔‘ and Percy’s just like ‘no???? we need to make sure he’s eating???? and that he’s not captured by an army of monsters???’ and Nico keeps trying to plot Percy’s downfall except he can’t actually come up with a plan because he’s Eleven or whatever and it’s just….remember when you were 15? remember what that felt like? now imagine being 15 and trying to wrangle an 11 year old that’s hissing and kicking your shins into brushing his teeth. imagine trying to tell this little asshole to go to bed before 10pm and he pulls out a fucking sword. how is someone supposed to handle that??? Percy surely doesn’t know! there’s a scene in BoO where Nico’s like ‘I don’t want to eat anything, but I know Percy would annoy the fuck out of me to force me to eat if he was here ugh’ sfkjsdfkj Percy literally had to CONDITION him into acting like a functioning person…and Percy’s inner monologue half the time is like ‘Yes I would kill for Nico di Angelo. Yes he is the worst person I know and I Will strangle him to death one day.’ like he doesn’t even completely like Nico as a person but everyone else is just chill with letting him run around by himself so Percy somehow ends up having to pseudo-parent this goth brat when he’s 15 and Barely Holding His Own Shit Together like….objectively an incredible dynamic lmao

[couldnt-think-of-a-funny-name]

Nico, eyes glinting dangerously, getting ready to summon some undead backup: I Am….☠ T̵̖̗̈͜h̵̥͇̪̏̅ẽ̶̬̗̣̋́͜ ̸̮̭̥͚̺͑̊G̷̡̘̗̍̃̇ͅh̴̢͍̜͌̌̐o̷͙̦̞͎̲̅ṣ̸̰̣̲̌̓͌̇t̴̠̣̞͂̎̿ ̵̲̖́K̷͎̇̓͠ĩ̵̗͎͑̈́͝n̵̼̩̋̑g̷̛͎̺̔̌͂̈́͜ͅ ⛥

Percy, pointing his sword at Nico’s throat while not glancing up from his algebra homework: You Are….going to finish all that broccoli before I let you leave this table 

[couldnt-think-of-a-funny-name]

Nico, a fetus, waving his sword at the McDonald’s cashier at 3 in the morning: I am fucked up and evil and an outcast with nothing to lose, you WILL give me all the happy meals in this place so I can summon the spirits and begin the ri-

Percy, walking in wearing a bathrobe and fuzzy slippers, picking Nico up in a fireman’s carry and tossing some drachmas at the cashier apologetically: sorry man he always tries to commit ritualistic atrocities when he goes too long without sleep, I dozed off and he snuck out, please don’t call the police I’ll personally knock him out this time I swear

[couldnt-think-of-a-funny-name]

Percy, 17 years old, barging into the Underworld after spending the past week dragging Nico to his first dentist appointment in 60 years, getting called into Nico’s school and having to beg the principal not to expel him over The Incident with the dissection frogs, having to physically sit on the brat’s chest and shove some scrambled eggs down his throat to get him to eat, and having to use Mrs. O’Leary to shadow-chase him halfway across the world when he ordered the punk to take a shower, all while having to simultaneously cram for his upcoming SAT’s: hey Hades where the FUCK is my child support money you bitch

This life is a F*CKING NIGHTMARE

[skeleton-deactivated694225]

the sequel we all wanted and maybe needed 

[reverseharem-deactivated2020021]

is it time for frank cho and milo manara to die or what

[kiefbowl]

That’s basically a naked woman I’m YELLING

[houroftheantichristwolf]

What a pervert. What the FUCK does he not know how clothes work? What the hypothetical fuck is she wearing then if we can see all that?

[auntiewanda]

It’s like how bath towels in comics miraculously wrap completely around breasts. Or how even when injured and dead on the ground women in comics have to be twisted into “sexy” poses. Or how women in comics walk like they’re in high heels even barefoot. 

It’s the only way men know how to draw women, because to them female characters are only there to be sexy. They only think of “women” as exploitative costumes and camera angles, high heels and titillation. Sex objects to ogle, plot objects to further male heroes’ narratives and drama, not heroes to cheer for. 

[brithwyr-deactivated20170122]

I’m sorry, I was labouring under the impression that this was the crowd that thought women should wear what they want..?

[auntiewanda]

And that applies to fictional women who are depicted by men how? You can’t apply agency in the plot to something metatextual when it comes to fictional characters. 

[brithwyr-deactivated20170122]

Come on, let’s not pretend this is a male exclusive thing.

[auntiewanda]

We’re going to have this argument are we? Not to mention you’re deviating from the original point that attributing agency to fictional characters’ clothing is asinine. 

What you have here are images of power, and do you really believe these characters are designed with titillating heterosexual women and bisexual and homosexual men in mind? Because I don’t think you do.

This is why the Hawkeye Initiative exists. Take common female poses in comics, put a man in the role, and see how “empowering” and “strong” it actually looks: 

Also: 

[feminism-is-radical-deactivated]

He got the painting for fighting against ‘censorship.’ Note that they handed him a gross design of a female being objectified, because at the end of the day, that is all they really want, to be allowed to objectify women. They don’t care about censorship in general it is about their ability to sexualise and degrade women without consequence.

[dyketales-deactivated20180601]

You can see her butthole for chrissakes

[pmastamonkmonk]

I think the best imagery I’ve seen to explain the difference between what men think male objectification is vs what women actually want to see is the Hugh Jackman magazine covers.

Hugh Jackman on a men’s magazine. He’s shirtless and buff and angry. He’s imposing and aggressive. This is a male power fantasy, it’s what men want to be and aspire to - intense masculinity.

Hugh Jackman on a women’s magazine.  He looks like a dad. He looks like he’s going to bake me a quiche and sit and watch Game of Thrones with me. He looks like he gives really good hugs.

Men think women want big hulking naked men in loin cloths which is why they always quote He-Man as male objectification - without realizing that He Man is naked and buff in a loin cloth because MEN WANT HIM TO BE. More women would be happy to see him in a pink apron cutting vegetables and singing off-key to 70s rock.

Men want objects. Women want PEOPLE.

[aglassroseneverfades]

This is the first time I have EVER seen this false equivalence articulated so well. Thank you.
