scarlet johannson did not spend an entire decade fighting tooth and nail to make natasha into an actual character instead of the sex object writers wanted her to be while also having to endure the most vile, misogynistic questions during press tours for people to now disrespect her legacy because yelena is 'better'. the only reason why that is, is because of everything scarlet went through. natasha singlehandedly paved the way for every other female superhero in the mcu and don't you forget that

Something that kind of frustrates me is how while there's always plenty of conversation about Hiccup's mistreatment by Berk and how things were before and in the beginning of the first movie, people don't seem to understand that obviously while it was partially out of his control due to his weak constitution/physical inability to do certain tasks, Hiccup never really wanted to be like everyone else.

He wanted to be accepted obviously – "I just want to be one of you guys," but we never see him actively wanting to make an effort to change himself to conform to Berk's standards. He wanted to be accepted among his peers as himself, he had his own way of doing things that he refused to change or compromise on, (this is literally shown and stated be a standard behavior; it's why stoick was so exasperated with him!!)

It is the very reason everyone hated him so much. It's why his and Stoick's relationship deteriorated as he got older. When he started doing well in training he was still unhappy because while he was using tricks he learned from interactions with Toothless, he still wasn't doing things the way he wanted, he was finally making Stoick proud but it was only by succeeding in a way expected of a viking of Berk and by working towards a goal he no longer desired to achieve.

He never wanted to be like his peers, to be the ideal viking and perfect son, he just wanted to be himself and be accepted for it.

Book rec question - do you have some cozy mystery series recommendations? I am a sucker for them and how quick and easy reads they are - the more books currently in the series the better!

you know i do!

my current favorite is the shady hollow series, about beatrix potter like anthropomorphized animals in their cozy town solving cozy murders.

tita rosie's kitchen is a fun cozy mystery series about a young filipina woman and her aunt's restaurant. i love cozies with good food! i also just read the author's ya debut and enjoyed it.

the three dahlias series is about three actresses, all known for portraying the same fictional detective by an Agatha Christie-like author. each of them have played the character for a different generation, and they come together to film a new remake and solve murders.

if you're looking for less murder and more cozy, the kamogawa food detectives is about a father daughter duo who run a unique restaurant. patrons come to the restaurant looking for a recreation of an important dish they've had in their past.

the thursday murder club is not quite as cozy as the rest, but very good. a retirement community solves murders. sometimes on thursdays.

veronica speedwell is a fun historical fiction romp, particularly delightful if you like a slowburn romance across a series.

not really a series, but three bags full was one of my favorite finds this year- after their shepherd is murdered, a flock of sheep led by a smart ewe named miss maple are determined to find his killer.

the maple bishop series is new, but inspired by frances glessner lee- a widow uses miniatures to solve murders.

that's what i got for now! what does everyone else like?

Okay, since I laid out my woe about watching good characters be murdered in every episode of Poker Face, let me talk about something that delights me each time around, which is watching Charlie come into her own.

Charlie said in the pilot that she was happy being a cocktail waitress, but I think it was more that she was as happy as she could be, given that she was trapped there by her obvious terror of Frost Sr.

Now she's still terrified of the man, but she's also finally out of her cage, and it's a joy watching her natural curiosity blossom - she's got as much of a magpie mind as Gavin the drummer ever did. She's somewhere new every week, meeting new people, and with each and every one of them, she listens, and she learns. So now she carries Superglue like Marge taught her, can ID four kinds of wood by taste, and will probably remember what Deuteronomy taught her about vintage amps, too.

Most of all, though, despite seeing people kill each other again and again for money, envy, and sheer dumbassery, the only thing she isn't learning is to be a cynic. I love her so.

"Something I do whenever I see a set of stairs because no one ever taught me you're supposed to walk on them. You know, I do it if it's a public space but it's not my preference."

Natasha Lyonne explained the famous scene of Charlie crawling up some stairs in Poker Face during a season 1 recap she did with Rian Johnson. (x)

Hello! I figured it was time to make a master-post of all my writings and such. Thank you to all my new followers! I am always available if you'd like to talk spyxfamily theories, headcanons, fic ideas, etc., or if you'd just like someone to chat with. I am honored to be a small part of this amazing and talented fandom! I made a personal goal to write and gain confidence with it, and to make some fandom friends. So thank you for making this an enjoyable journey so far! 💛💐

My Fics:

~ For you, I can't contain my love: an ongoing multi-chapter fic centered on Loid and Yor going at it in semi-public places. I'm having a ton of fun writing it, and I keep thinking of random places they should bang at. 😅There's four chapters so far! Updated sporadically. Obviously NSFW.

~ If I kiss you now, will I come undone?: my version of events that take place after chapter 79. The one where Yor comes home drunk and tries to get a welcome home kiss.

~ Those who can't love: I think about Loid and Yor and their complicated feelings as they fall in love about, oh I'd say.. 500 times a day. So I wrote a fic about it!

~ Exposure: a short one-shot of Loid confessing to Yor after they find out each others secrets. It's probably my favorite fic I've written so far. Loid is very vulnerable here, and I love making my sweet boy a sensitive cry baby over his wife. 😇

~ Help me, I'm in love: I had so much fun writing this fic about Franky asking for dating advice from the Forgers. Yup! Loid, Yor, and Anya give out dating advice.

~ I'm a wallflower, watching you be: this fic is literally just Yor and Loid watching the other get ready for the day and being horny about it. I was inspired by a great fanart reminding us of Yor's affinity for sharp objects.

~ Pining: a short drabble (under 500 words) about Loid pining for Yor. And I mean PINING. Again, I love when Loid goes through it because of his wife.

~ The in-between: another short and sweet fic about how much Yor loves laying around with her husband and listening to him talk. So sweet I'm gonna barf.

~ Refrigerator Magnets: my very first fanfic ever was a silly story about Anya and Loid finding animal magnets and the family adventures linked to what they tack on the fridge.

My Meta Posts:

~ My theory on the twiyor kiss agenda in the manga.

~ The manga shows us Anya's comfort level with Loid and Yor as her parents and I love it.

~ Endo hints about Project Apple in the manga, and I often wonder what that may mean.

~ "Agent Twilight is a hopeless romantic!!!" I shout from the rooftops as I reflect on a moment in the series that hints at his growing feelings for Yor.

~ Anya's stickers!

~ Here I point out all the sweet smiles Twilight saves just for his family.

~ My thoughts on the possibilities of a twiyor kiss.

~ There are a lot of loose ends and possible story hints that may tell us how the spyxfamily story is going to go.

~ My rambling feelings about Anya and her secret.

~ Twilight is the most hopeless of hopeless romantics! He loves love but never thought he would experience it for himself. But he's falling for his family. I can prove it!

~ I love Becky Blackbell! She is so supportive of Anya, and I love their friendship.

~ This isn't anything special, but I feel like it's right to end this on my thirst for Loidy-boy and the iconic shower scene.

If you've made it so far, thank you again for being here! I hope you and I can experience the best parts of our lovely spy family and their fandom for years to come!

I thought it was the most hilarious thing that Adrienette's dynamic was

Adrien (platonic) loves touching Marinette and being in her personal space

While Marinette (romantic) can't handle touching Adrien on her own and can't help but recoil from him (tho ofc not all the time)

Sambucky divorce isn't real and they confuse the others by being weirdly chill with eachother outside of the drama happening around the avengers

Bucky: what's happening with you rn?

Sam: nothing, oh I'm taking you to court though

Bucky: oh that's not good, can you like not do that please?

Sam: no

Bucky: hmph. Okay well that means you're gonna be in New York right?

Sam: unless they bring you guys to DC?

Bucky: well wherever it is, wanna grab lunch when the trial is over?

Sam: sure, loser of the case has to cover the bill <3 can I bring my guys along?

Bucky: fine, can I bring mine?

Sam: no, your guys deeply unsettle me

Joaquin: I’m so confused are they fighting?

Yelena: I don’t even know anymore to be honest

The movie setting up the "shame rooms" through Yelena, John, and Valen-fcking-tina of all people and then never using them for any of the other characters when the movie is supposed to be about all of them is the reason Thunderbolts* will not get anything higher than a 7/10 from me. The first half is excellent and then wow, it was just "Underdeveloped: The Movie" for me.

The way Taskmaster is treated was egregious enough but for a movie called Thunderbolts*: Bucky gets shafted, Ava doesn't get anything, and they remain the "team" for only two DAYS before they become "The New Avengers".

I love Yelena and look, I'm also glad that a movie DID set up some character work that paid off (Yelena, Bob, sort of Alexei). But every other character got so shafted and I am stunned by how it seems no one else noticed and are giving this thing actual 9/10 rankings. It's not enough for Ava to joke about growing up in a prison lab and then finding friends to be her arc. We have to see her healing slowly like Yelena. Why? Because it's called Thunderbolts* and she is on that team. The others have to learn to understand Bucky. Walker needs more than one vision and a terrible exposition line ("sorry your wife ran out on you and took your kid" is "They died when I was 3, remember?" levels of bad). They all feel like they still don't like each other by the end of that movie, at least not on the same level mutually. Why would Walker hug Bob when he's been nothing but horrible to him?

I feel like y'all have been so used to bad or so-called bad MCU films that this movie finally does SOME stuff super well and y'all are handing out 10/10s like nothing. Bucky got shafted in a movie about his own team. What is going oN.
