can i say the reason the Storm x Wolverine ship isn't the most popular ship in X-Men has just got to be racism???

and i'm not saying you're racist if you don't like them, but the fact that they are not overWHELMINGLY popular just has a certain stink to it. realllll yucky nasty. the dynamic between those two is everything y'all say you want from straight ships but y'all hate it and i think i know why.

and don't pull the fuckin "well i just think she deserves better" out ya ass cuz i KNOW ima see some bullshit like that and i'm gonna go to ya blog and it'll be another male-centric blog posting about how there's no interesting women in media i KNOW it. i've SEEN IT ALL BEFORE

Confrontational

I am a change maker.

I was born to stir the pot.

Born into a family

that takes conflict

and sweeps it under

the rug.

They tried to shame it

out of me

all for naught.

Staying quiet

doesn't get me

the impact I want.

A man cut me off today.

It was real close.

I was heading to pick up an order;

approaching a medium.

To the left of me

was a residential road

and a small medical complex.

The car sped out of

the tiny parking lot

and zoomed out in front of me,

smoke plumbing out of his exhaust pipe

as I pressed my foot to the break.

I didn't honk.

I just observed as he sped

and weaved through traffic.

I kept at my own pace

and ended up behind him.

He turned into the parking lot

for the same restaurant

I was picking up at.

All that reckless driving

just to end up

at the same place

at the same time.

How poetic.

I couldn't contain my smile.

I went inside and picked up the order.

He was approaching the door

as I took my exit.

Drive safe,

I said while looking at him.

Cops are out heavy.

He told me thank you

and went inside.

I second guessed myself

on the drive.

Was I just being a jerk?

Did I really need to say anything?

Why did I say the cops were out heavy?

I suppose it was in case he didn't care

about the safety of himself or others.

Maybe he'd care about getting a ticket.

For a moment,

I felt like a kid again.

My mom's voice in the back of my head

telling me to keep the peace.

What peace is there, ma?

It is not peace if questioning it

disrupts it and causes its rupture.

I sat with my feelings

and am glad I said something.

His driving was unsafe

and I had an opportunity.

Change cannot be made

by sitting idly by.

People cannot be held accountable

for their actions and words

by silence.

This is who I am.

I am loud and inquisitive.

I will not be silenced.

I will no longer suppress parts of myself

because someone doesn't understand it.

I will be the change

I want to see.

Whatever that may be.

debating is like foreplay to me if i like you. however, if i don’t like you, debating is a game and i am going to win.

Adieu to the fabulous and inspired Marcia Resnick (21 November 1950 – 18 June 2025). In the 1970s and 80s the Brooklyn-born self-described “photographer and visual vampire” stylishly documented a who’s who of New York downtown bohemia, including Beats (William S Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg), artists (Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat), bleeding-edge literary figures (Gary Indiana, Kathy Acker), flaming creatures from underground cinema and theatre (Divine, John Waters, Jackie Curtis) and punk and No Wave scene-makers (Lydia Lunch, Deborah Harry, Johnny Thunders, Stiv Bators, Anya Phillips, Alan Vega, John Lydon, Joey Ramone, Joan Jett, Iggy Pop). In Resnick’s gritty, confrontational photography, everyone always looks a bit fraying and elegantly wasted. In other words – they look great! Her work is such a treasure trove, it was challenging to select one representative image to post as a tribute – but here is Resnick’s portrait of freaky operatic New Wave performance artist / singer Klaus Nomi (1944 - 1983).

(OC lore spoilers I guess lmao) I don't know much solidly about how Flints eventual death happens (I have a few options I switch between). But one thing I'm certain of. CERTAIN of. Is that he dies laughing. A nasty laugh of mixed scorn, triumph, and relief. And he dies with the smile frozen on his face after.
