I’m Like A Proud Mama

i dont know when it happened but somewhere along the way “shipping” got a new meaning for younger folk that seems to translate to “i want these people together for real asap”. i think the media had something to do with it. but guys.

guys.

shipping absolutely Does Not mean demanding anything from people/creators. shipping isn’t about expecting and waiting for the day it will certainly happen. it is not a direct translation to Happen Or Die.

shipping means you like the idea of two (or more) people together. you like the concept. you find it fun to imagine the dynamics. you even create fanon content of it (fic, art, edits). it’s all in your head and it’s Fine that way.

is it nice to have a ship become canon? oh my god, yes. but that’s not what shipping is about and yall need to take a step back and breathe because being a jerk to people aint gonna change their mind about ships.

have a good night.

I’m already tired of the posts condemning Stan Lee for things he’s said–especially things he said as a geriatric 90+ year old straight white man. Like god fucking damn this is why I can’t stand Tumblr, Twitter, and hyper “walking on eggshells” culture. The moment someone dies it’s “you can’t be said about this CUZ THEY BAD.”  

I don’t even see how his comments were homophobic. Sure they weren’t open-minded, but nothing was hateful about it. He (along with Ditko) created Peter Parker, and Peter was conceived as a straight, white guy. This is what he said:  

“I think the world has a place for gay superheroes, certainly, but, again, I don’t see any reason to change the sexual proclivities of a character once they’ve been established. I have no problem with creating new, homosexual superheroes. It has nothing to do with being anti-gay, or anti-black, or anti-Latino, or anything like that. Latino characters should stay Latino. The Black Panther should certainly not be Swiss. I just see no reason to change that which has already been established when it’s so easy to add new characters. I say create new characters the way you want to. Hell, I’ll do it myself.”

Like… having a preference a character one created remains the same doesn’t make that person bigoted–especially when that character is their creation. I… I don’t get it. He even said he’d support a non-white, non-straight Spider-Man (as in the mantle/superhero identity), he just preferred Peter Parker to remain the way he created him. And, again, Lee is a product of his time. He made most of these comments when he was super old. He grew up in a totally different era (an era for which, at the time, Lee was considered very progressive). 

I’m tired.

I’m going to see it tomorrow and I’ll never fucking ruin such a huge event for fans like me, I promise

reblog if you promise to not immediately spoil Avengers Endgame this weekend after you see it so you don’t ruin the fun for someone else

At Target this lady told her son he couldn’t have a Wonder Woman doll because “that’s for girls” and then bought her daughter the same one. It got me thinking about how often I see people bar young boys from appreciating girls/women as protagonists and heroes, and my own experience with it as a kid.

Every woman I know is afraid to walk alone at night. Every woman I know does not want to be in a cramped subway car full of just men. Every woman worries that some dude followed her home when she is out in the evening. Every woman I know has been hurt/injured/treated callously whether emotionally, physically or sexually by a man. Don’t tell me I have no right to fear men and their intentions because “NOTALLMEN”. I don’t leave my house unlocked when I go out either, but I don’t hear you screaming about how stupid I am because “NOTALLPEOPLE” are burglars. The point is, some men do it. The point is those men look just like the rest of the male population. And the point is, when it happens, you turn around and blame us for that too “You asked for it“ “You were stupid” “You provoked it” when you completely invalidate our very rational fear of getting raped and murdered. So don’t get annoyed at us for fearing and acting cautious around all male strangers when the system is pointedly set up to fail us.

reblog this if you too, will be a “spoiler free blog” and tag spoilers properly after endgame drops.
