Okay but it makes me so fucking mad that we dont acknowledge the fact that rhodey watches as Tony disapears?
You think he doesnt feel that? You think he doesnt worry? You think he doesnt see that punk kid he adopted during his college years and never let go of? Hes known Tony since they were KIDS.
Hes known Tony when his parents died. You think he’d welcome Cap back with open arms, after he held Tony as he cried in his arms, saying “rhodey, I dont-i cant-im 21, ill never be enough-i miss her, I never told them-”
You think that he’d just go “yeah, that’s cool,cap, you helped RUIN my best friend but we’re okay”
And you think that he doesnt see Tony and thinks “I should be there, I should HELP”
Like I dont care if you ship them or not, the fact that we so blatantly disregard how rhodey must be feeling in that scene?
He wants his fucking best friend back. He must be fucking devastated inside, but instead he cracks jokes and does what he can, instead of being torn up with worry, instead of showing it.
The thing I love about rhodey+Tony is the pure level of trust and comfortable aura they have? In age of Ultron, as soon as rhodey shows up, the tone changes entirely. Tony’s cracking jokes, hes happier, hes caring, Hhdhdhrhjrjrururh
And so yes, Steve’s lines are iconic and yes I stan, but at the same time, can we stop pretending that rhodey wouldn’t be doing anything and everything to get his fuckinf best friend back?
He watched him drive off in the desert and come back a different man. You think he doesnt think of those 3 agonizing months as soon as he sees Tony’s gone? You think he doesnt fucking love him?
You think he wasn’t thinking, “what if this is it, what if the last time we talked was the last time, what if hes gone forever?”
God. I couldn’t imagine what Rhodey must be feeling in that scene. But instead he tells jokes, and he does what he can, because that’s what Tony would want him to do.
remember that time in the same episode as the last ask, when scar is being dealt with and eds arm is blown off and havoc comes and helps him sit up? yeah that. havoc and ed, man!! my parental rarepair!!
I think about that every day. Havoc just right there, at his side, supporting him. And he stays there for a little while, too, helping him sit up and keeping him upright and putting his arm around him and yeesssssss, the Elrics, and the rest of the Mustgang, needs to be talked about moooore.

I was having a bad night so I drew some self-indugent parental dragon!roy
he’s so happy his boys got their bodies back.
idk what he said but he seems to think its p funny so
I finally read the The Target. For anyone not familiar with this title, it heralds back to the Officer Grayson days. Dick is setup to take the fall for some dirty cops of the Blüdhaven PD and adopts the identity The Target to clear his name name for Reasons.
I came across this gem:
That’s right. They practiced throwing guns. As confirmed by Nightwing (1996) #33:
It called to mind another gun-throwing identity of Dick Grayson’s.
Flash forward to the New 52.
That’s right, Agent 37. Was is pure coincidence Agent 8 mentioned guns and targets? Or was it an Easter Egg?
Who could forget his iconic theme song?
His fellow agents may have given him grief over his choice of gun handling, but apparently Dick had lots of practice hurling those bad boys.
Finding these references is like undercovering buried treasure to me. I get way to much pleasure from it. Has anyone else found any good links from the old to the new like this?
a concept : back when Roy first acquired Ed & Al, Al finds a kitten on the way to the office and puts it in his armor for safe keeping (as one does) but it wakes up and meows and Riza and others are like "whats that noise" and Al panics because kittens are probably not permitted so he just bursts into Roy's office, hands him a kitten, and goes back out to show that there was clearly nothing making noise. And Roy just has to deal bc he'd die before disappointing like 12 yr old Al
*huge breath* AWWWWWWWW
Can we please stop the White Feminist™ idea that naked = empowered?
Because I had to watch the Muslim girl in my history class lucture the class on Islam’s treatment of women and why she wears her hijab to feel closer to god, because some new girl in our class tried to coerce her into taking it off, and then proceeded to try to take it off her.
I made sure she was alright after class and she told me she’s used to it. I. Got. Pissed. Because this sweet girl is used to other people trying to rip her hijab off. I’m not Muslim, but from what I understand, that’s like being used to people trying to rip your shirt off of you.
Also, this idea doesn’t just threaten and offend Muslim women and girls. Because a lot of women and afab people don’t like being naked. It’s not empowering to them, it’s demeaning. For example, I don’t like being naked, because I just don’t feel comfortable with it. But still, my family still forces me to wear bikinis to the beach and thinks I’m self conscious just because I don’t want to wear the least amount of clothes possible.
So, in summary:
Destroy the White Feminist™ idea that Naked = Empowered
Destroy the White Feminist™ idea that Naked = Empowered
Destroy the White Feminist™ idea that Naked = Empowered
Destroy the White Feminist™ idea that Naked = Empowered
Destroy the White Feminist™ idea that Naked = Empowered
