it upsets me how far and how intense this "peggy is a n*zi" bullshit has gotten. and how quiet the so called feminists in the fandom are when faced with these "theories"

i guess it's only feminism if it's a character who doesn't get in the way of your ship?

so I’ve been re-watching winbre season 2 because I need to read the manga after seeing the absolute rollercoaster that is suo and nirei’s current arc, and it just kills me that in the fight against Keel suo is so protective over him, even going as far as saying that he’s stronger because nirei is with him. dude. omg. mr ‘we aren’t anything’ MY ASS

i dunno if this is true (and i don’t want to give him too much credit because he does not deserve it lol) but i kind of wonder if being influenced deeply by hp lovecraft is the reason that cosmic horror often seems so... stifled? 

i don’t just mean like relying too heavily on “ooooh spooky tentacles and thing that is conveniently impossible for me to describe” i mean like the fact that it seems to forget that fear is not the only possible response to the unknown. because hp lovecraft was a deeply hateful and fearful person and that absolutely influenced his work. yes i know it is a horror subgenre and thus fear is going to be there but i think there could be a lot more stories dealing with the idea that the alien and unknown is also enticing, beautiful, etc (i think annihilation, especially the novel, does this really well while still being spooky). 

also the idea that the fear of the unknown (which in reality is often just... harmful) could be misguided or just straight up wrong would be really interesting to explore! but it seems like authors can get stuck in a thematic rut of “no, strange things have to be deadly/feared/hated” and i don’t like that from both an entertainment standpoint and a practical one

if they hadn't gotten rid of pepper potts and peggy carter, civil war would have been over in ten minutes.

thinking about how if agent carter got made today it would get called woke feminist propaganda...

they have spent six years SIX YEARS bitching about steve being sent back in time to peggy to have babies and now that it's actually onscreen they're acting like it's a surprise that steve went back to build a life with the love of his life and it involves GASP babies.

steve rogers as a father

now wears a helmet because he has something to lose

proudly wears his wedding ring

looks at the baby he and peggy made like he's falling in love for the first time.

wears a burp napkin as he tenderly tends to his son

puts his suit away because he finally has come home
