you know what I miss from the early Iron Man movies?  The optimism.  The joy.  The ego.  This isn’t saying that I think Tony is egotistical (although to a certain extent he is), I’m saying that he had that rock star image.

I mean:

the stark expo?

the Senate hearing?

Making the suit?  Look at how proud he is of himself!  What an accomplishment!  This bitch is going places

LOOK AT HIS FACE, in any given scene of these two movies, almost all of them Tony’s got attitude, ego, a sense of hope.  Hell, lets go wild, lets add in the Avengers too:

HE’S JUST SUCH A DIFFERENT PERSON.  

a sink hole of human despair.  They’ve taken away his theme music, his house, his rock star persona, his hope, his joy, his fluffy hair…

I do fully understand the choice to give Tony PTSD (or whatever they are now calling this) because the guy has been through so much shit.  I’m not saying they couldn’t have done that.  I’m saying they completely changed everything about how they present his character and I miss the Tony that was, and could have been.  They stole so much light and happiness from this man and they said it was because he was recovering but they never fucking gave it back.  Look at his face in that last gif.  That’s a man who keeps thinking he’s found rock bottom but actually there’s farther to fall.

Sokka, chucking his boomerang at Zuko: VIBE CHECK.

I feel bad for all the comics out there tryna capture a kind of soft and nostalgic but also pleasant and believable “teenage superheroes in a small town” aesthetic bc like, Go Go Power Rangers already has it nailed perfectly I mean

tell me this isn’t the cutest shit you’ve ever seen

my playlists are pretty good i think

How to train your boy

I recently ran into this problem while writing and when I did some google searches for a solution I wasn't able to find a lot. My story is written in first person and I don't know how to introduce my character's name without sounding cheesy or cliche. The "My name is [character] is so cringey but I'm not sure how to introduce my character to the reader in a way that sounds natural. Any advice?

Have someone they talk to call them by their name. 

Have a stranger ask them their name for a good reason (e.g. a barista or nurse).

Have them feel annoyed at seeing their name misspelled or hearing it mispronounced.

Have them fill out forms and whoever receives the form comments on the name (e.g. ”Oh, that’s a pretty name” or “Nice, that’s my cousin’s name” etc.).

Have them respond to hearing their name or one similar to it when it isn’t them someone is trying to communicate with (e.g. Kara hears someone call out “Karen” on the street, and turns her head).

Have them mention that another person in their social group has their name (e.g. ”The other Rachel in our book club said…”).

If they primarily go by a nickname, have someone who calls them by their full name make an appearance (e.g. a sudden phone call from their mother, who insists on calling them by their birth name).

Have someone make a joke/pun with their name (e.g. a rival calling them “Dick” when their name is Richard).

Have something associated with them carry their name (e.g. a family business called “Bob Howard & Sons” or a vanity plate on their vehicle).

They like searching through personalized keychain racks and magnet displays to see if their unusual name is in there this time.

Have it mentioned in roll call (this one’s a bit common in a school setting, but roll calls can happen in certain other settings too).

Have them read a letter, email, or something else addressed to them.

There must be a dozen other ways. Use these to brainstorm and find one that fits your story better.

Royai Week: Day 1 - Parental!Royai (Post Promised Day, Riza smuggled in the cat for Alphonse when she and Roy went to visit them. Ed’s having fun being Roy’s “guide”)

hot take: ‘chivalry’ is fine as long as it’s adapted to 21st century values. if you are a male, you SHOULD be aware that your female friends face certain issues that you as a male dont. acting on that awareness in a way that keeps your female friends safe, isn’t a bad thing.

like… opening doors isn’t rly chivalrous when it’s just a thing you ought to do for everyone. but real 21st century chivalry might be, like, standing between your female friend and the guy that’s trying to get her drunk, or offering to walk her home when it’s late.

if the ‘chivalry’ inconveniences everyone involved and you’re just doing it for your over-inflated male ego — ie, “no you’re the girl here, you HAVE to let me hold this door for you and do all these things for you even when you can do it yourself and im just slowing you down” — then it’s just outdated misogyny.
