Life is funny. 4 years ago today I was very ill and hospitalized. Life change and my health has been fragile since. One year ago today @jasonaaron 's Female Thor was announced. Here we have two photos from those days. One year ago today I cried and wrote that email to Mr Aaron that ultimately became my letter in Thor number one. I cried that day. I sobbed. I was so happy that Thor was gonna be a woman. That I could BE Thor. I remember sitting in bed with my laptop on my lap, and I googled Mr Aaron's fan email and sent him my note, wanting him to see positive feedback from a fan after I had read so much hate online about the announcement. I then went for a jog to get my excitement under control, and took that picture, of me not giving a shit what the cry-baby fans were saying online about Thor. Bc what they said didn't matter. I was gonna have a Thor of my very own. I was gonna be Thor. And no one could tell me otherwise. What a difference these pictures taken exactly three years apart makes. The more recent reveal of her identity actually being Jane is a big deal to me. She is frail. Sick. Dying. But is righteous. Pure. Mighty. Worthy. She is a God with a mortal body. The parallel I feel with her cannot be properly expressed here. I just don't have the words. This universe is funny. How do these things happen? How do these days line up so meaningfully? To anyone who has ever said "it's just a comic book" needs to read this, look at these pictures, and understand that these character mean more to some of us than you know. To anyone who hates on New Thor and called it a ratings grab, publicity stunt, or "pandering to feminists" really need to realize that there are a LOT of people like me out there, who don't feel "pandered to" so much as finally recognized. I hope you all have a wonderful day on this glorious date. #Thor #NewThor #JaneThor #FemaleThor #LadyThor #TheMightyThor #Marvel @marvel
