We aren't asking for much just the same as what those before us had.

Same minimum wage to housing cost to living cost ratio

Same oppertunities for promotions and even starter jobs

They had houses because those who no longer needed them sold them instead of hoarding them to raise the value (which they could have), they had money because their CEOs gave the employees raises instead of only giving themselves a raise (which they could have)

They have goverment jobs because politicians stepped down instead of keeping the jobs for themselves (again they could have)

They were given these oppurtunities by those before them, yet they deny them to those who came after them.

My own grandfather still lives in a four bedroom house in a school neighborhood near a park. His grandchildren are all adults. My widdowed mother was homeless with two children under 5 years old, never sold her his house. His other granddaughter can barely afford rent on a two bedroom apartment in an unsafe neighborhood with both her and her husband working hard. Said granddaughter's mother sold a nice three bedroom house to a stranger (kept the vacation cabin) but was kind enough to offer to let the four of them live in a mold infested barely liveable trailer on the property before it was sold (and yes they had to pay rent costs). The child born there was hospitalized and even stopped breathing due to FOUR flu strains at once while living there.

Representation matters. I hate how people take stories from one culture change the physical characteristics and call it representation of another. Dark skinned Ariel, Santa, or Snow White is not proper representation of other cultures. These are still European stories . Moana, Raya, Mulan; these are proper representation of other cultures. They are stories from other cultures. I would rather see REAL cultural stories from other places than just Europran stories coloured in differently trying to pass as different. How is it true representation if the stories are not even theirs? Do we really want little ones to grow up and think European culture matters and everything else does not? Or that everyone is represented by European culture and nothing else?

Is it just me or do modern algorithms designed to keep showing you more of the same thing just make you want to stop using the program. It feels more like listening to someone tell the same joke 1,000 times in a row. I miss the old days where you could actually find good content by accident, or discover a new intrest without trying. Applies to all places doing this like here and youtube.

Wanting a cure for Autism isn't Ableism

I have autism. I don't want to experience sensory overload, I don't want to have meltdowns, breakdowns, and shutdowns. I don't want to have higher support needs to the point where I cannot take care of myself, or that I have to work twice as hard to have half the quality of life as everyone else. This isn't about socializing, or people not understanding my emotions or just understanding me. I want the same quality of life as everyone else. It isn't ableism to not want to stim because I can't sleep when stimming. Having the whole world to not have too many sounds at once, such as at a park with my family, is never going to be possible, vehicles make noises, and asking children to never make too many noises is never going to work all day every day, especially when they are happy and excited (noise canceling headphones are another case of working harder for half the quality). I want to have the same quality of life as everyone else. I want an end to my problems without having to take extra steps and do extra work, spend extra money, or have everyone else walk on eggshells around me. This isn't about wanting to change me to fit in, this is about wanting my problems that have a huge negative impact on my mental health gone. If an amputee can say I wish I had both my legs without being called ableist, why can't I say I wish I had a normal brain without being called ableist?

Describing to an 8y/o how Loki was abandoned near a dangerous weapon (casket), during a battle, with no adult to care for him. When I said some fans say this was done to protect him (because it was a temple) she said

"I don't have time for nonsense"

Odin’s a Bad Father

I … I had to defend ODIN as a father to someone because I MENTIONED him giving Loki a chance as an infant in a FrostMaster fanfiction … I’m gonna have a tangent.

Okay, we get it, yes, thank you, Odin was a TERRIBLE dad. Back up for a second and let’s talk about it, alright? There’s a lot more here then just ‘Odin’s a bad dad because our favorite character was mistreated’, WAY more. And being that I’m an outspoken little prick, I want to talk about it.

1. Odin Lied to Loki: Well … yes and no, considering the political climate when Odin found Loki (i.e. the massive Jotunhiem/Asgard conflict that raged for years AND that Odin’s own father died during), he probably thought it best on both sides that he keep Loki’s origin and identity a secret. Asgardians HATED Jotuns/Frost Giants and they weren’t quiet about that hate so while it was risky to allow Loki to retain an Asgardian disguise, it would have been incredibly more so if he brought a tiny Jotun prince back with him (and think about how Asgardians would have handled the heir-apparent to their enemies being within their reach? We already know that not all Asgardians are perfect angels sprinkled in honor and righteousness). Also, I don’t remember Odin ever saying he hated Jotuns or instructing Loki and Thor to do so, he told them of the history of the conflict and that he won the war and they were at peace. Thor was the one stirring up trouble, not Odin so … 

2. Odin mistreated Loki: How? Odin could have kept Loki as his prisoner or as a trophy of war, he could have used him as a bargaining chip, he could have kept him in a dungeon for his entire life, he could have done a million atrocities but what did he do instead? He adopted Loki, made him a prince of Asgard, and kept his true identity a secret to keep him safe. Is lying to your kid harmful? Yeah, even the myths of SANTA CLAUS and the EASTER BUNNY is considered a bad thing to some people. And I’m not sure how detrimental being told ‘you’re adopted’ is to someone who was adopted as an infant/a child considering I am not a child who was adopted nor am I a psychologist nor do I have ANY knowledge of that, but I do think Odin thought he was doing what was best at the time without knowing how everything would play out, which is kind of the gamble parents make with some things.

3. Odin said Loki should have died as an infant: Uh, yeah? Loki was abandoned to die by his own father, if Odin (or anyone else who would have taken pity on him) hadn’t been there, Loki would have died. As an infant. Perhaps the connotation feels different when said different ways but he isn’t wrong, harsh wording aside. I’m not sure what else i should say on that point given that Odin is telling a hard truth and nothing more. I do, however, think what he meant when he said that was something like ‘I did all of this for you and this is how you repay me?’, which is more of an incredulous response than a ‘I wish I’d left you to die’ type of thing. Odin is shocked by what Loki has done, of his children (all three) Loki was not the one he thought he’d have trouble with, Loki was quieter and better mannered than Thor (I cannot speak for Hela since we don’t get much of how she was in her off-time in Ragnarok), he was a studious person while Thor (and Hela) was combative and boisterous, so shock of shocks for Odin to find his youngest son causing all the problems while his headstrong elder son is the one joining a superhero group and saving Midgard, more than once.

4. Odin put Loki in prison: Yeah, instead of banishing him or executing him, remember all the shit Loki did? Think he got off pretty easy just being put in a cell, and if you look at the cell he was in it was a lot better furnished than the others and he didn’t have to share it with other criminals and he could just sit and read (which he used to do anyway), so it wasn’t so much a punishment as I think Odin wanted it to be and even his one point of separating Loki and Frigga didn’t work since she went behind his back to visit her baby boy. Anyone remember how Odin banished Thor to a realm Thor had never been to with no friends or anyone he knew, no money, nowhere to sleep, nothing to eat and without his one weapon? All he did was pick fights with another realm (understatement of course), Loki broke a whole lot more and he got a timeout. Maybe I’m splitting hairs or I’m missing something or the symbolism of the punishments are lost on me but … I dunno, if Thor was everyone’s favorite you’d think he’d get away with being a petulant child more. Also, Odin didn’t want Loki on Earth where he had no control over how Loki was treated, they could have and probably would have done really not good things to him whereas in Asgard, Odin has all the cards.

5. A point I would like to make because no one else seems to say it: No one gonna mention Frigga so I have to be the bad guy, huh? Okay, fine, Frigga lied to Loki and ‘mistreated’ Loki as much as Odin. Oh, sure she did it in a softer fashion, but a lie is still a lie, you can’t just sit back and pretend she didn’t have a hand in all this! She taught him magic, she knew how to change his appearance (don’t tell me she didn’t because no) and she could have told him but she didn’t. I love Frigga, I really do, between the two losing Frigga was way more heartbreaking than losing Odin a million times would have been, but stop demonizing Odin because he’s the more obvious target. 

6. Last point I want to make because I can: Odin loved Loki. Had a hard time showing it maybe, said or did things that might not have conveyed that, fucked up a few times with his decisions, but he loved him. He said as much and Loki eventually began to accept that love too (or did y’all just gloss over that Loki put Odin in a Home on Midgard in Ragnarok instead of just killing him as everyone suspected he did at the end of Dark World?). Clearly their relationship is distant and strained, there’s loads of baggage and things left unsaid and scar tissue, but there is something there, a quiet, tentative something but we can’t pretend it isn’t there.

Did I talk enough? Can I go now? I mean, Jesus, Odin is my least favorite character too but come on! Squealing at me that ‘nuh-uh, he was bad because my favorite character wasn’t treated like a perfect angel’ is a pathetic, childish argument. Loki is not perfect, yes he has suffered a great deal (get away from me Russo brothers) and yes he has mudddled through it mostly alone, but HE ISN’T PERFECT and neither is Frigga, or Thor, or Odin! I can’t believe that I’m defending Odin of all people on TUMBLR where Loki is pretty much a patron deity and everyone’s husband, but I’m miffed! Miffed that everyone else’s redemption arc counted except Odin’s, everyone else gets to fuck up over and over and be better for it and be a hero but Odin is still shit to everyone. And yeah, you’re allowed to hate him, he’s a fictional character set up as a force to rebel against in the eyes of his children, they all eventually try to push against his authority and control as king and father, but can’t we all agree that a flawed character isn’t a villain by default?

I saw the trial as a good cop bad cop with him and Frigga. You will never convince me not a single guard saw her illusions or her gifts (being brought in as well)

[shadowwolf78336]

Why go to all those different moments in time? Why not just get the time stone and use it to bring back all six stones, then return the borrowed stone? They saw Thanos do it with Vision they probably could have figured it out themselves like he did. No time heist no Tony and Nat deaths, no major battle...

[shadowwolf78336]

Why did 2023 Thor take the hammer? He didn't know about 2014 Nebula, Thanos was already dead, he knew it had to be returned immediately so he couldn't keep it. Why waste time waiting for it when the guards were chasing them?

Why MCU Loki will always be Loki Odinson to me

It’s completely reasonable for Loki to go by the name Laufey in the comic books, based on the events that take place there. However, based on what is canon for the Marvel films, it makes very little sense at all. It actually makes zero sense.

I (a woman) think that if a woman has a baby and knows who the father is, and that he poses no harm to them, and doesn't tell him about the kid aka a parent takes sole custody without a court order, it should be parental abduction

Imagine english curriculum that is actually tailored to our generation.

We've been reading the same books that people read since like the 1940's. I couldnt read more than 5 paragraphs of atlas shrugged nonetheless birth out a 10 page analysis of that bullshit capitalism propoganda, but have me write an analysis on the themes in games like undertale, or the hero's journey in avatar the last airbender, or the symbolism and themes of The Adventure Zone. Or anything. Steven universe can easily create a full on discussion of peacemaking of war and examples of character development. How the portrayal of corrupt government within novels like the hunger games are a reflection of our societies view of reformation, how Scythe made addressed complex understandings of death and presenting one's self to others. There are so many possibilities about things i would adore writing about. Because it actually applies to us as human beings now. I could easily write a 15 page analysis on a 30 minute video game. This is our literature, this is our records of creation. So why arent we using it to teach others how to harness it.

ONE people

When we call America a melting pot we need to stop thinking of ourselves as different veggies sitting in the same hot water but as different metals melted down and mixed together to form ONE new metal with properties from everything used that CANNOT BE SEPERATED. We call people AFRICAN American IRISH American GERMAN American... when neither they nor their families have stepped foot in those countries for generations. We even say black, brown, white which is a LIE. Put a "white" person next to white printer paper or a "black" person next to a (pure) black suit (not dark blue) and you'll see EVERYONE IS BROWN with different brightness settings.
