Scarlet Johannson fought so that Yelena could RUN AND HAVE FUN.
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
I HAVE PROVIDED THIS!!!! best little sibling. now i just need one of bucky and im SET
I need a picture of John walker with that stupid little bow don’t ask why
i NEED Grian to go full psychological horror on the hermits with the permit office. i need multiple layers of permit waiting rooms each that plays a more distorted and unsettling version of the please hold music as you go deeper, I need there to be a constant static buzzing being played I need the lights to flicker, I need grian to stand ominously at the end of hallways just to disappear behind a corner
As someone who has a bipolar parent and is bipolar themselves, Bob is SUCH an important rep of us. This is SO important to keep in mind. Bob is more than just a silly little guy. He's a grown man with severe trauma and a disorder that millions of people across the globe have too. He can still be the silly guy, just don't infantalize him or take away the disordered parts of him. REAL Bipolar people can't do that. We can't take the disorder out of us.
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.
yeah you gotta take 8 swords and stab your problem!!
love pulling the 8 of swords in the "Solution" card position
Autistic trauma is so devastating and yet so corny. You'll be doing everything perfectly normal in public but someone will sneer at you and you'll spend an hour agonizing over yourself like "fuck what if no one told me it was Don't Wear Yellow Thursday"
"Not all men" you're right, Spencer Reid would never
basically the vibe im getting from tb* so far
yelena, ava, john = siblings
alexei = cringe dad
bucky = tired babysitter
bob = new baby/nuclear bomb
taskmaster = dead
blink blonk boink bap

I have no idea what I'm doing please help me I want friends sobs
Surprise
Happy birthday Technoblade <3
Genuinely needed this today. With the end of my junior year of HS approaching and the fact I need a game plan for how to get away from my family in the next year, it's all super overwhelming.
We have the time. We're all just too scared of the future to think of the time we have. I have over 365 days, and that's a LONG time when you think about it.
Time doesn't simply end. It keeps going. You have time, more than you think you do. I think that's a lesson most of society needs to learn.
