you're not turning your fandom hobby into a job are you? giving yourself deadlines and quotas that you have to meet? focusing on the numbers instead of your enjoyment of the act of creation?

jokes to make after failure that aren’t self-deprecating:

I’m the best to ever do it

Nobody saw that (best if said loudly)

No one’s ever done it like me

I could be President/they should make me President

Behold, a mere fraction of my power!

The public wants to be me soooooo bad

I’m an expert in (thing you just failed at)

How could this have happened to god’s favorite princess?

Nothing ibuprofen and a glass of water cant fix

“you couldn’t make this movie today” not because of cancel culture but because big studios aren’t willing to take risks on cool fun new ideas instead of adaptation number 7,000

Loving reminder that MCU!Bucky is almost entirely based in a character named Arnie Roth, a gay and Jewish man, who was likely Marvels first named openly gay character. Here are some of the many areas they overlap:

a) grew up with Steve in a vibrant centre of Jewish culture in NYC b) took up boxing and acted as Steve's protector c) took Steve on double dates as a way to hide his sexuality d) served in WWII and was reunited with Steve decades later e) was brainwashed but was saved by Steve's devotion

The creator, comic writer J.M. DeMatteis, was never compensated or credited, even though Arnie (as Bucky) is currently one of Marvel Studio's biggest draws.

While comic!Bucky's identity is absolutely fair game, MCU!Bucky being both gay and Jewish is paramount to having a complete understanding of his arc and character, as well as paramount to keeping the legacy of Arnie Roth alive.

You can make a difference, and so can your friends, in keeping this part of queer history alive and improving LGBT+ representation. The best ways to go about that are:

a) depicting MCU!Bucky as gay and Jewish in your fan works and discussions b) vocally demanding that Marvel Studios properly integrate his identity as gay and Jewish into their official canon c) discussing Arnie Roth and reading his comics and/or creating fan works about him

Captain America and Superman are Jewish responses to the Nazi idea of the ubermensch that ask different, but equally compelling questions in response to it. Captain America asks "what if the ubermensch was real, and he loved Jews?" and Superman asks "what if the ubermensch was real, and he was a Jew?"

certain queers will really believe that gender and sexuality labels have rigid, unchangeable definitions that must be maintained and "protected" from evil queers who want to ID as transman lesbians or whatever, and then go on to act like they are any better than a raging transphobe crying about how the terms male and female "don't mean anything anymore"

sorry bro I didn't hear your bit I got a little distracted reflecting upon my inadequacies

"you don't have to transition to be trans": overdone, dull, runs cover for taking away medical care from those who need it

"you don't have to be trans to transition": exciting, poignant, radical perspective on the right to bodily autonomy

I was teaching kids today and they got fixated on the usual ‘are they dead now?’ question when I was talking about historical figures. So I was just like ‘Yes, they’re dead now, everyone who was alive in the 1800s is dead now.’ and then one kid was like ‘Except for you’.

There was that post going around with "We should just dress up as ICE agents and 'abduct' people at court but just make sure they get home safe." Which:

A) Obviously, if you are going to do something like that, don't document it publicly online.

B) Mightn't that create conditions where people protest ICE abductions less because they can't know if they're real?

The point of fiction is actually to put that guy in a situation™️, and he might try to tell you the point is to then get him out of the situation, WRONG, second situation
