Bro the marvel rivals community is so toxic rn, due to matchmaking being non existent in comp matches, I either absolutely carry or do not my best, but im still relatively decent, and sometimes people are just better than you, thats just a fact of life. But of course this one fucking guy starts to berate me and be the most toxic asshole I've ever encountered, judging my psylocke when hes fucking lord squirrel girl. Imma be honest, this dude really got on my ficking nerves, so I actually told him to touch grass. He switches to black widow and throws the game for us. Oh well whatever I dont care really, but then he starts blaming me for the lost game and another player agrees. That I guess really got to me. The fact that when I was being bullied in game, they weren't alone in thinking this. Only one person defended me and I appreciate that, but seriously. Marvel rivals needs to work on the report feature and comp matchmaking, because this game used to be super fun and I enjoyed it immensely, but now its just a miserable experience.

looking at Nightcrawler art where he's dressed as a priest and wondering if the Catholic church is for or against mutants

[nemo-not-found]

ok it's my time! (I included a TLDR at the bottom)

as both an x-men nerd and a catholic theology nerd, I think the most realistic outcome is that mutant-related discussions cause a schism, similar to how the methodist denomination split into global methodist vs united methodist over lgbtq+ rights/acceptance

the main obstacle to this hypothetical split would be the "high church"-ness of catholicism. basically, most protestant denominations have a little wiggle-room for theological differences between churches of the same denomination while all catholic churches are obligated to take doctrine directly from the vatican, meaning fractures do not come easily. if the vatican were to make a strong decision on mutants either way, all catholic churches would be obligated to follow that decision in their own doctrine. however, I highly doubt a pope would do this, given how wishy-washy they've been about lgbtq+ issues (which I consider the closest analogue) in the interest of 'representing ALL catholics.' therefore, mutant rights would probably be left as a church-level issue

even if the x-men universe pope did make a statement, the high church model of catholicism is currently shifting so that it might not matter as much as it would have in previous generations. for example, pope leo's anti-AI encyclical SHOULD make all catholic churches doctrinally anti-(generative)AI, but there is some resistance right now within more conservative pockets of the community who do not want to give AI up. in practice, there are significant differences in doctrine between catholic churches depending on which one you go to--not to mention the anglican/episcopal subset of catholicism, which is it's own weird and wonderful progressive place that I fully believe would be mutant-affirming regardless

mutantphobic catholics would most likely bring up bs arguments about mutantkind being a new-age perversion of the image of God, which is inherent in humanity. mutant-positive catholics, however, I could see using the rebuttal that we are all "fearfully and wonderfully made" exactly as God wills (psalm 139:14), human and mutant alike. furthermore, all people deserve love and respect; this is, after all, how disciples of the Lord are supposed to distinguish themselves (john 13:35)

TLDR: I imagine the pope would leave official doctrine ambiguous, meaning the day-to-day level of mutant acceptance among catholics would ultimately depend on which church you attend. in any case, given that we have (delightfully!) come to see queer priests and women priests in many catholic churches now (the current archbishop of canterbury is a female priest!!!), I DO firmly believe kurt would be able to find a niche where he could be ordained and fully accepted as a mutant priest, although he would still face backlash from some :')

Being a girl in your 20s is a dressing up like your mom when she was your age

[trashcanopossum]

Just created an outfit thats gonna be a core part of my wardrobe from now on

[trashcanopossum]

Let me tell yall a story. I have an eyeliner addiction. I have way too many, so I said to myself I won't buy a new one until I use all the ones I had. I have this wet n wild I've been using for years. It been through a lot and its my go to. Next, in my apartment, the bathroom is kinda gross, it being an apartment and all. Between the sink in the wall is a centimeter gap.

After a night out im washing my face in the sink and I knock my whittled down eyeliner pencil right into the crack - down into the abyss where French fries fall between car seats and socks disappear from your dryer. I hesitate to fish it out from the abyss that we call an collage apartment bathroom due to the many diseases that lie dormant there.

Anytime an anime is like "im an introvert nerd guy and the most popular girls in class want to be my friend" I never see it as a romance anime. Thats just a gay dude in a friend group of girls.
