i’m thinking about the fact that yelena probably found out about nat through the news bc the avengers didn’t know to call her. i’m in pain.
ALSO… (black widow spoilers)
there WAS a fucking grave. “there was no body, of course she didn’t have a funeral.” THERE WAS A GRAVE. SO WHERE WAS THE FUNERAL. right, so what i’m hearing is, the russo brothers didn’t think to include one.
black widow was so good i’m in awe. i was consistently surprised by how little they sexualized her and how throughout the whole thing what she was wearing made sense. i loved the relationship between her and yelena, it felt very real and solid, which made me more interested in yelena’s character. the female relationships in this hit so hard and the theme was clearly about natasha forming bonds. (i also appreciated the fact that no cameos were made by other avengers, which might be an unpopular opinion).
nah cuz i don’t like loki/sylvie either but cmon… if sylvie was male presenting, the dialogue from episode 3 would’ve made some of y’all ship it. i know we wanted a male love interest but like… this ship isn’t out of nowhere.
@ the good omens vs spn fandom war happening on my dash rn. pleaseeee all of you go touch grass. please go wallow in dirt and weeds and come back refreshed in a week, because the things i am reading with my own two eyes are Insane.
the disrespect you all are showing to ace/arospec people in these posts is absolutely astounding.
friendship and romance aren't cut and dry. they aren't opposites, nor are they exclusive. there are so many ways to have healthy romantic relationships-- not even to mention the myriad of queer-platonic combinations! just because *your* experience of romance (queer or otherwise) is centered around physicality doesn't mean it's like that for everyone else.
frankly, it's quite insulting to finally find an aro/ace safe space (like the good omens fandom has been for me and many others) and be bullied out because of... the author's tweets? a second season announcement?
a note for us hellers: we should know better by now than to expect perfection from authors. we shouldn't excuse homophobia, but... that's... not what's going on here.
good omens is a stunning tribute to the happy ending: love triumphs over evil, fate, capitalism, and a whole lot of really annoying paperwork.
art is for interpretation. that interpretation doesn't have to be queer.
the beauty of good omens is that it's a story for everyone. that's part of the reason the fandom's been active for over 30 years! it's an excellent queer allegory, for sure. but you're allowed to have other opinions. that's what fandoms are for.
i would argue that good omens is explicitly queer. i read crowley and aziraphale as queer-platonic life partners. and frankly, i find their relationship so much more fulfilling than many other canonically queer canons i've seen. they're treated with respect in canon. their love literally saves the world.
yeah, they don't kiss. but consider the large part of the lgbtqia community you're leaving out if you exclude arospec and acespec people from this discussion.
by saying good omens is a queerbait, you're saying aromantic and asexual people don't belong in the queer community.
idc how many times i have to say this, but good omens was and is not a queerbait. the future remains to be seen, of course, but i (personally) have faith in everyone involved and neil gaiman to do these characters and their world justice.
look to sherlock, merlin and supernatural if you want to watch queer-coded and canonically gay characters be exploited and killed for little more than a longing glance.
aromantic and asexual people have a hard enough time being embraced as it is. please think about the message you want to send before you post. thanks.
tl;dr y'all talk about wanting nuanced queer and arospec representation until you get it.
i’m loving the sudden conflict between the good omens fandom and the spn fandom. like why tf are we arguing which one is better? which one sent an angel to super hell after admitting his gay feelings? that’s what i thought.
literally terrified of this
You know what, I’m fucking scared that they’ll turn Sylvie/Loki into something romantic. If I have one fear, that’s it. Not because I want to see Lokius (though I’m genuinely curious to see how they’ll improve their friendship, if I can call it like that), but because - - NO. They’re the same person, two versions of the same person, for heaven’s sake! Ok for siblings, ok for their chemistry etc etc but please NO. Nonononononono.
also it helps me walk or whatever
[ID: a digitally drawn two-panel comic. / Image 1: Text reads: “How I expected using a cane would feel:” Panel depicts a miserable person in tattered clothes, hunched over a cane and shaking as she walks. / Image 2: Text reads: “How it actually feels:” Panel depicts the same person, now standing tall and wearing flowing wizard robes and a long white beard. Her cane is at her side, glowing with magic, and she looks confident and powerful. /End ID]
i’m just gonna continue to ignore all the signs that loki won’t be in love and thunder. i am blissfully blind in spite of the knowledge presented to me by the man i call god. (tom hiddleston).
no bc like i don’t ship sebastian and anthony bc i think they have a really cute friendship. but, imagine if they just... suddenly announced they were dating. do u know how fucking funny that would be? this app would crash, twitter would lose it, and tiktok would be ruled by them. like no, this will not happen bc they’re both straight, but oh my god if it did. we would never recover.
me pretending i think bucky’s gay ass is more attractive than sam on tiktok so people won’t cancel me
hi!! i’m here to tell u that every single taylor swift song can be applied to bucky barnes!! sorry to ruin your day!! hope your life is never the same again!!
a masterpost
i cannot believe i was worried that sharon and bucky would be a couple. this man really only has eyes for the wilsons and u know what? same.
this.
the fact that bucky could sleep on the couch rather than the floor in sam's house, the fact that he seems to have slept through the night, the fact that when he hears sounds he doesn't jerk awake in terror, the fact that he just seems genuinely at ease around sam and his family, the fact that he uses his metal arm openly and to help rather than kill, the fact that when sam asks about his nightmares he doesn't even bother to lie like he does to his therapist, the fact that he actually opens up to sam instead of keeping it all locked up, the fact that he admits to thinking the shield was the only family he had left in past tense after spending time with the wilsons, the fact that-
Bucky calling Sam “Samuel” with maximum level sass is my new favorite thing ever
okay wait i want a genuine explanation about something. why are some people talking about how bucky never said anything about isiah... like wasn’t he under hydra’s control when he met him?? he might not have recovered that memory until recently. and even if he knew before... he wasn’t really in a place to tell the world anything until after the blip, bc he was a fugitive until that point. so, in the few months after the blip he’s obviously dealing w his PTSD and isiah or anything else from the past like that isn’t his first thought. like i seriously wanna know what people are talking about, i don’t get it. we’ve seen bucky be super ignorant in other ways, but idk how it applies here.
saw someone post that nat would’ve been the one to check up on sam and bucky and wanda so that they would’ve been okay. i miss natasha romanoff so much. it hurts. she cared so much.
no bc the scene where bucky says “if he was wrong about u, he was wrong about me” has so many layers. it’s sad bc bucky has been through so much shit and constantly doubts his self-worth (“i don’t know if i’m worth all this steve”) and then steve left him, so he prob feels like he WASN’T worth it. but then, you have to think about sam’s side of it, which a lot of bucky stans are neglecting. this situation is about systemic racism in this country and that’s what the conflict is. so yes, bucky is traumatized and that’s sad, but sam has his own story and it was HIS shield to give up.
bro ship wars aside, if azriel doesn’t end up w gwyn (which he might not bc let’s be real no one knows who’s endgame) i want them to be friends so badly. like their friendship could be unmatched. same thing if he doesn’t end up w elain. i just like all the characters and i think their relationships, platonic or romantic, are important.
some common bitch: aziraphale and crowley aren’t canon bc they didn’t kiss
me, appalled: so ace people don’t exist ig
the same person: but,,, they’re not ace
me, still appalled: nah they’re just ethereal and demonic beings with no form of gender or sexual expression
neil gaiman, emerging from a hole in the ground: *thumbs up*
will: wait, so if we’re 70% water, isn’t drinking water cannibalism?
hannibal: i’m gonna have to go with no, but i like the way u think
will, the next season: *wakes up in a cold sweat* oh my god
jack watching will & hannibal flirting over randall tier’s mutilated corpse like the freaks they are:
i have many regrets,,, one of them is definitely deciding to rewatch bbc merlin and remembering the shitty ending <3
mary saying “now that i’m gone i know what u could become because i know who u really are” is all the confirmation i need that johnlock is canon. <3
i’m rewatching good omens and i forgot how fucking gay this show is. like i think i assume tumblr exaggerates, but wow.
