I want to talk about Bob.
I want to talk about Bob and how fandom treats characters with mental illnesses, because I’m already seeing this shit.
Spoilers below the cut.
His arc is so good, and yet some people are really just focusing on making him into “UwU babygirl” material. I know, this is tumblr, home of the babygirlified characters.
But there’s heavier context here. We’re talking about someone who survived an abusive childhood and overcame the addiction he used to self-medicate for a wildly unrepresented/stigmatized illness.
His memory loss is not cute. It’s traumatic. He’s traumatized.
Yes, it’s important that he absolutely can be seen as a love interest, as a favorite blorbo, as a comfort character. In fact, I think he will be for many people with mental illnesses. His story resonates.
But there’s a systemic, historic pattern of treating mentally ill folks as children, or incapable.
The situation with Valentina is a metaphor for conservatorship. She handles him, makes decisions for him, all while talking down to him.
Don’t let fandom do that to him, too.
You know what. Reblog this if you’re against bullying.

if 2024 sam wilson met 2014 sam wilson i fear it would be one of the funniest things ever
2024 sam: “so yeah, we help save the world and overcome many challenges as well as become captain america and go on to inspire millions despite the odds. also steve is lowkey dead and nat sacrificed herself”
2014 sam:
2014 sam: and the guy who ripped out the steering wheel on the highway?
2024 sam: congress
Peter, counting his push-ups: 22, 23, 50, 70-
Tony: what multiplication table is this. Why are we jumping around?
Peter: wouldn't you like to know, weather boy.
Tony: what did you just call me.
scarlet johannson did not spend an entire decade fighting tooth and nail to make natasha into an actual character instead of the sex object writers wanted her to be while also having to endure the most vile, misogynistic questions during press tours for people to now disrespect her legacy because yelena is 'better'. the only reason why that is, is because of everything scarlet went through. natasha singlehandedly paved the way for every other female superhero in the mcu and don't you forget that
Stevie Wevie
MAJOR CME 18.02 SPOILERS
parallels always make me sooooo sick. like i’m still not over her miscarriage. im not over the storyline with roslyn. i’m definitely not getting over this.
jennifer jareau being called a badass before someone dies
hAHAHAHHAHA NOOO I LOVE TO CAUSE PAAAAIN lmao
I like to think he chose Steve's cause his old room reminded him of what he was like freshly de-winter soldier-ed :]
“do we think yelena picked nat’s room” WRAP IT UP
The Avengers 2012 era was the best time ever in the fandom
Thor loves pop tarts, Clint lived in the vents, Bruce and Tony did science together, Steve was the mom friend of the team and did art in his free time, Natasha was cool aunt of the team, Loki was there too and a bunch of other characters like Peter, Sam, Bucky, Vision and Wanda all lived in the Avengers tower together
It was a much simpler time where everyone in the fandom was chill and having fun together
what if you hurt me so irreparably???? what if i cry and sob like a little baby????????
for all the joke that peter would one day make tony’s hair grey because of the troubles he enounters with his Parker Luck™, he ironically wasn’t there when tony’s hair started to turn grey.
