Zandra's Court

The court of my own amusement. I'm a long-time geek fangirl. Started with my love of Starsky & Hutch in the 70's, grew with The Hardy Boys, and all things Star Wars and then on to other television, movies, books, comics, etc. I write too. Some slash. Ok, mostly slash.

There is nothing funnier than the fact that Steve Rogers did not pick a single one of his uniforms outside of the Nomad suit. His outfits were designed by the government of SH.E.I.LD. Literally the one time he got to choose how he looked he chose this:

He had five seconds of self-expression and decided to go full Goth Slut Titties Out.

If there’s ever a post about how in the name of equality make superheroes should have boob windows and short shorts, please know no one wants that more than Steve Rogers

So, the other day, when I was discussing AO3's policy on solicitation, a tumblr user came at me saying that AO3's "no monetization/solicitation" rules were "bullshit" because nexus mods allows fan created mods to get paid.

Look at me.

Look at me right now.

AO3 protects you.

AO3 protects you and your works. 

It protects your works from copyright strikes and DCMA takedowns.

It protects your work from advertisers.

It protects your work from overzealous legal challenges.

It protects your right to post adult content.

AO3 is non-profit and AO3 will never try to use you or your work to make a profit for themselves and AO3 will go to bat for you if someone tries to legally challenge you or your works.

Please respect AO3 and its mission.

Can’t reblog the post going round containing these two screenshots:

So I’ll put my addition here:

This also applies to women who complain about feminism requiring them to work, rather than being ‘ladies of leisure’. Women equivalent to them in the past always worked - who do they think were the maids, housekeepers, cooks, nannies, wet nurses, governesses, washerwomen, spinners, weavers, seamstresses, nurses, midwives, etc - and today’s equivalent of the past’s ladies of leisure can afford to be ladies of leisure now. Feminism fought for women’s work to be acknowledged, valued, and fairly paid, and that fight is still ongoing.

My favorite thing about fanfic authors is they can identify any gap in a canon timeline where characters are offscreen and exploit the ever living fuck out of it

They see a time skip of any length and go

Rewatching Captain Marvel and realizing that if it were made today, all the Dudebros would complain that it’s a woke allegory for what is happening in Gaza.

Rewatching Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and honestly f the Sambucky divorce. They’ll talk it out. I believe in them.🫶

These gay bitches did NOT need to keep holding hands for as long as they did. And Bucky you aren’t being subtle trying to get Sam’s hand to touch your tit

[warmachine68]

This is more Bucky coded, but it could easily work for either of them

[samartchy]

Hey I'm back

[half-an-hour-hence]

‘The guy he is now…I don’t think he’s the kind you save. He’s the kind you stop.’

…are you sure about that, Sam?

[rowenathesaint]

Bro fucking closes his eyes… You are not slick Bucky! I see your gay ass, boy. You love Sam Wilson so goddamn much, and I don’t blame you.

[donottouchredbutton]

Why is Kevin Feige saying Captain America: Brave New World flopped because they didn’t have Chris Evans when they made a shit movie? Chris Evans wouldn’t have been able to save that mess even if he was still Captain America

While I love Sam Wilson as Captain America and I love Anthony Mackie, that movie was actual ass and made no sense, and it’s entirely Marvel’s fault. And I feel like to say it’s because they didn’t have Chris Evans is such a slap in the face to Anthony Mackie that just shows they have no confidence in what they’re making anymore to even see it as self consciousness or self sabotage (because let’s face it, if they knew what they were doing anymore, they would not have made that).

SO MUCH THIS^^^^^

"War is war and hell is hell."

This scene changed my brain chemistry.

No Sam Wilson, no Avengers.

Yes, it's that simple.
