Things I have seen as a science major:

Girl literally braid her hair in corn rows during an exam.

A guy bringing in 2 monster energy drinks and fucking pounding one.

Someone holding a literal human skull reciting Shakespeare.

A 19 year old woman getting information on birth control she should have gotten at least 15 from an anatomist.

A man with a beard crying in a hallway and when asked said he can’t memorize anymore bullshit.

A man saying he’s jealous of the hissing cockroaches because they don’t have quizzes.

A girl literally dropping the class and changing majors because she failed an exam with a 31.

A girl said she hasnt eaten fresh food in 9 days

A guy loudly exclaimed “that’s the clit!” In the lab.

So in summary if you write Peter Parker as a human disaster just know, it’s accurate.

So like. Tom Hiddleston was talking at Ace Comic Con Midwest today. I was there. I got to actually hear/see him say these things. He was speaking about how Loki found redemption and ultimately circled back to his family via Odin’s declaration of ‘I love you, my sons’. And that is… disturbing? sad?

I WANT Loki and his family to work things out as much as the next person. And I’m all for forgiveness, but…

Menace and MCU Loki are not fundamentally different in almost… anything, aside from variations in their events/timeline. EXCEPT the people they’ve found validation and worth in. MCU has wandered in the dark since his attempted suicide with continual heartbreak stalking him. He eventually came back to a father that would have executed him and said his birthright was to die and a brother who left him writhing on the floor in pain. He loves them both, and he fit himself back into the frame they wanted him in.

But Menace? The core difference that has kept him from inevitable circling back to orbit Thor, and even Odin, in an unhealthy craving for validation and identity is Sigyn. She’s loved him outside of anything but himself, and his relationship with her has allowed him to say, ‘I can be loved on my own merits’ and ‘I don’t deserve to be treated this way’. It’s allowed him to set boundaries and realize that thought he intensely and deeply loves his brother and father (even as much as he has hated them too) he doesn’t have to be bent and bowed into their mold.

No, he hasn’t achieved it entirely. He loves Asgard and will, no matter how it treats him. He loves Thor and will, even if their fraternal bond is still toxic in some aspects.

But Sigyn is the reason him and MCU Loki are ‘different’. MCU Loki practically came back to Thor humiliated and willing to be what Thor wanted him to. Menace didn’t come back to Thor. He resolved to stop hating him; to stop poisoning himself with the rage. But he didn’t come back. He said, ‘I love Sigyn. She loves me. I know I can be loved for who and what I am. And I do love you, brother. You probably do not know truly how much, but I am not going to be what you want. Not always.’

And that? I just.

That.

First thing I saw when I opened Twitter (x)

Women are more likely to die following a heart attack - why?

Largely due to different types of heart attack causing different symptoms. In women, a more ‘subtle’ heart attack is more common.

Favourite Tropes #137: the hero who’s been through so much inexplicable nonsense that they’re impenetrably jaded, except instead of being grumpy and cynical they’re just sort of amiably cheerful about it all. Like, the universe has just turned itself inside-out, and they’re all: “Right… I guess it’s that time again. Could be worse, I suppose - at least this time I’m wearing pants!“

So you know this scene...

I always found it a bit odd. Hilarious, but it raised too many questions. When did Steve make these? Why did Steve make these? How did he manage to be so cheesy and overly sincere knowing how much crap he would get from the other Avengers for it?

Well, today my sister told me her headcanon. Picture the scene. Steve leans on the back of a chair, as above. Peter immediately launches into ‘So, you got detention…’. Cap blinks. Peter awkwardly tries to explain. It turns out Cap has no idea what videos he means, and neither do any of the other Avengers.

So they get in touch with the company who made them, and they swear blind that it was really the real Captain America, and that it all his idea. That he came in and said how much he wanted to help the youth of today.And the Avengers all lose it because someone is running around doing an unbelievably good impression of Captain America, they could have destroyed his reputation, they could have infiltrated the Avengers; and instead all they are apparently using it for is to make silly, embarrassing videos.

It’s completely baffling. Who could possibly be behind it all?

A mystery.

Also, a lot of people say Loki was essentially a good guy until he found out he was adopted and only turned evil after that, but: a thing I completely overlooked until someone pointed it out was that Loki sent Frost giants, who killed Asgardian guards, into Asgard well before he found out about his heritage. He's an immensely smart master of illusions, lies, manipulation etc., yet couldn't be bothered to think of a way to get those guards out of harm's way. He showed indifference to the lives of others so long as his goals were served even well before he found out he was adopted. In that respect he's no better than anyone else in the MCU, certainly not better than Killmonger.

I can't fuck with Killmonger criticisms that say "he's completely and irredeemably evil" from the exact same people who glamorize Loki and other one-dimensional MCU villains for the same reasons. To me, it's very transparent that Killmonger is vilified for the same traits praised in the likes of Kyle Ron and Loki.

They’re not even the same traits. Killmonger experienced genuine loss and grief, and went through a deprived childhood that he clawed his way out of. He came out of it with a sympathetic motivation to help a brutally oppressed group he was part of. When he was talking at the end about his ancestors who had jumped out of slave ships, that was his mother’s folk he was talking about. He is a descendant of people who were kidnapped and enslaved. The means he meant to use for his ends were terrible and destructive, which was why he was a villain and the main characters rallied to stop him, but I don’t trust people who say his motivations were not relatable or that he had no redeemable characteristics.

Loki? Look, I like the amoral little shit and find him entertaining as hell, but he is just that–an amoral little shit. All he had by way of motivation was that he was… adopted? And that his dad (also an amoral shit) lied about it? Like, fuck outta here. It’s not even comparable.
