yooo man you're curently whoping my ahh on mtga just to say yk gg's and stuff😭
Thank you for being a good sport about a deck I built to see just how ridiculous the combos I could create with it could get.
And I hope that your weekend is going well!
I get in theory why people complain about het ships or whatever, I get wanting to watch queer media I really do, but I guess where y’all lose me is like. I saw some asshole on a post about Sinners complaining it was “hetslop”—this person was specifically doing so while also claiming Remmick was a queer character and thus they were justified in caring more about him than the Black protagonists. which is a whole other disgusting can of worms that has been well addressed by others at this point. but even in the absence of that part of the argument, like, no, i actually don’t think that a hunger for queer stories is an especially good excuse to deride and dismiss a piece of landmark Black filmmaking, especially as a non-Black person. I have a post that’s been going around encouraging folks to engage with more Native stories and characters, and I had someone come onto that post saying in the tags that they’d need these stories to be queer in order to care. and I just think that, you know, sucks! like obviously as I queer Native also want to see more of those stories too. but idk how else to put it other than to say that Black people and people of color shouldn’t have to be like you in order for you to care about our narratives and experiences. and I think some of y’all are using this disdain for heterosexuality as a cover for your unexamined racial biases. it’s not okay to be racist to people just because those people happen to be straight, and you continue to be white before you are queer.
I’m picturing Taryon in his bed, very old, talking to Vex. They talk about their children and grandchildren (he and Lawrence adopted, after Tary retired from active adventuring), about their days in Vox Machina together, and the adventures they had after Tary left the group.
“Do you have any regrets,” Vex asks.
“Only that I didn’t meet Percy before you did,” Tary says, and as they share a laugh the sun catches his hair just right, and the gold shines through the silver that overtook it years ago.
“I hated you so much when we met you,” she says.
“I know. I deserved it.”
“But I love you now, old friend.”
“I know. I deserve that, too.” And they smile through their tears. Tary’s eyes begin to flutter, and she clasps his hand so tightly.
“Oh, little elf girl.” It’s barely a whisper. “I’ll tell your brother hello for you.” And Tary’s eyes close, one last time.
And perhaps it’s only her imagination, but Vex'ahlia hears the beating of a raven’s wings.
Still rather proud of writing this one.
This is the greatest insult in the history of television.
How dare you leave this Jason Todd discourse in the tags.
When and where did Jack Kirby say that?
As the X-Men prepare to do box-office battle, the men behind the comic-book mutants are counting on the myth-making powers of the very mild-
Not Kirby, but Claremont:
Actually, Claremont says he always saw Professor X and Magneto as echoes of David Ben-Gurion and Menachem Begin. “My view of Magneto” – originally created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby as a magnetic-powered supervillain who wanted to take over the world – “is that he’s the terrorist who might someday evolve into a statesman.”
Claremont isn't the person who created Magneto. That was Jack Kirby and Stan Lee, and they based Magneto's mutant supremacy on Hitler.
Yes, and the more modern form everyone including those up thread enjoy is the "Violent Resistance for Mutant Rights" version (as opposed to "cackling supervillain") which traces itself in large part to Claremont
The only reason why Magneto became more than a cackling supervillain was because Magneto realized how wrong he was after trying to murder a Jewish mutant for standing against his villainy.

I think a lot of recent work with Magneto, especially Ewing’s stuff on X-Men Red and The Resurrection, is best understood as trying to figure out what a version of Magneto who you could say is right about anything would have to look like. And it’s no surprise that he ended up reworking him as radically, if not moreso, than Claremont did in order to prompt the sympathetic reaction that’d eventually get us “Magneto was right.”
The obvious problem with "Magneto was right" discourse is that there is no one Magneto. He's not a historical figure, he's a fictional character—one who's been written and rewritten over the past 62 years.
Just in comics, dozens of different writers have written Magneto in one capacity of another (with hard-to-quantify input from all the other people involved in the comic production process). Some of those writers have mimicked previous writers closely, but others changed their mind about who Magneto should be during their tenure. He also features in five X-Men cartoons (plus appearances in several other Marvel cartoons), plus dozens of video games, plus the X-Men movies (where he has been portrayed by four separate actors), plus an all-new MCU version expected to hit theaters next year.
There are dozens, if not hundreds, of Magnetos running around. It's trivial to find Magnetos who are obviously, completely wrong. It's trivial to find Magnetos who are obviously right, at least in part. People have been writing and rewriting Magneto since Malcolm X was writing his autobiography.
"Magneto was right" is an appeal to some imaginary ideal form of Magneto, as contrasted against a more pacifistic Professor Xavier. But is this Platonic Magneto a man merely willing to use violence to defend his fellow mutants against a short-sighted, xenophobic US government? Or is he one who wants to actively exterminate non-mutants? Because Magneto has been both of those things! Heck, occasionally he's the moderate to Xavier's extremism—usually just in origin stories, to make the stances both settle on more dramatic, but such a Magnetos is still a Magneto!
"Magneto was right" is fine as a summary of a political argument involving the X-Men which you previously or subsequently explain. But if it's the only thing you say about your position, you've said nothing at all.

Poison Ivy is still a shit person!
Poison Ivy is a rapist and mass murderer who is selfish and greedy and even the modern 'protector of nature' thing was a revision done in the last twenty years because of how popular the already revised version of her from BTAS.
She wasn't 'proven right', she was outright changed because her cartoon version was more popular than her actual behavior in comics.
And Magneto still has the whole...genocide all non-Mutants thing going on
if she looks like an e-thot, she is not a fan.
Magneto's motivation is "I was a victim of genocide so I get a free 'commit genocide' pass."
Which is surprisingly realistic.
Whenever I see discourse about how Magneto was right I wonder if these people remember Genosha.
Cassandra Nova, the mastermind of the murder of over 99% of the population of Genosha, was a mutant.
Hey, did you know archive.org has a bunch of free 90s shows you can stream?
The problem is finding them, since no one's organized them all in one place with covers and episode info. I'm trying to fix that with my new website.
It's in BETA right now, and all the content was just added today, so I've barely scratched the surface of what's out there.
Let me know what you think and what kind of shows/movies you want to see!

Did you guys know that John Musker and Ron Clements think an animated movie should be like a treehouse—“playful and imaginative, but showing you something that’s always been there, like your backyard has always been there, from a fresh perspective?”
Because people want to go up in a treehouse. They like it, it’s fun. Even adults see a treehouse and something in them goes “I want to check it out up there.” And then they’re not seeing a reality that wasn’t there before. They’re seeing reality which was always there, fresh, thanks to the treehouse.
John Musker and Ron Clements did these movies.
What have we learned?
Stories are not about escaping reality. They’re are about escaping the lies we’ve started believing by seeing reality from a fresh perspective.
Use this to beat the snot out of any argument that goes “it’s just a good story, not everything has to have a message” like those two things are somehow opposed to each other, when actually, “good story” and “message” can’t exist without one another.
The message just has to be about something true. Not “a truth.” The truth. Not a fanciful idea that can help you escape reality—a new way of phrasing reality so that you can accept reality a little easier, and even be hopeful about it.
You guys realize you’re interacting with other human beings on here, right?
I just think that maybe some of you should be like, normal
and by that I mean that like. you need to realize there are boundaries with interactions with strangers
“The internet isn’t real life.” The internet is just as real as any other method of communication, as are the people behind these accounts.
This isn’t a Sims game, what you do here has consequences beyond the internet. Be kind.
