Phantom Rider canonically punching Bobbi in order to kidnap her makes me feel even less guilty for making him physically abusive in some AUs. Not that I ever felt guilty. Cause fuck that guy.

Real reasson about Clint and Bobbi's divorce? I tough because Bobbi cheated on him, but not sure

absolutely not! i think that misunderstanding is likely from the end of the mockingbird solo in 2016, which decided to go ahead and try to retcon a very key event. let's get into it...

in west coast avengers, the whole team time travels to the old west. their time machine is broken and can only travel backwards. while trying to time travel back further, the phantom rider punches bobbi and takes her off the machine, separating her from the team (in space and time)

phantom rider takes bobbi to his cave and concocts a drug to convince her she's his wife

eventually, the two-gun kid (cowboy friend of hawkeye) tracks them down and is able to snap bobbi out of her drugged stupor. she realizes the extent of coercion that's occurred. clint is trapped in ancient egypt (and also dying), so he's not around for what comes next; during a showdown with bobbi, phantom rider falls off a ledge.

because fuck this guy, bobbi makes her choice: that is, choose to do nothing.

phantom rider's spirit actually just gets reincarnated when he dies, which bobbi admittedly didn't know about at the time, but fuck that guy.

when clint and bobbi are finally reunited, she doesn't divulge the sexual assault that occurred. several issues later, phantom rider's spirit in the present tells clint bobbi killed him and doesn't say why (bc fuck that guy). in what is notoriously the most dickish response (and writing) possible, clint goes "that's not what he said!!!!!!!" when bobbi tries to tell clint why she let phantom rider drop (bc, again, fuck that guy). and so, a rift is born.

clint's whole motto is "avengers don't kill," so his contentions are: you killed someone, you lied by omission, you betrayed my trust by not telling me. bobbi's are: that doesn't count as killing, that guy was a rapist, you are being a shitty husband. also fuck that guy.

the ensuing issues are a bunch of "pick a side" bullshit with the team and squabbling. which was ridiculous. clint's stance was so ridiculous that while all their acid and strife in west coast avengers continued, clint and bobbi would constantly be trying to reconcile and acting tenderly toward each other in concurrent issues of solo avengers. bc other writers thought "yeah fuck that guy."

so that's why they broke up. but also they didn't bc they got back together? but also they didn't get back together bc that was a skrull. but that wasn't supposed to be a skrull at the time and was only one retroactively. but then they got back together anyway. i digress.

ANYWAYS this brings us to mockingbird #8 (2016), which attempts to retcon all that in a way i can only describe as insulting. first of all, phantom rider's described as an ex of bobbi's, which is a terrible start.

then this happens:

yeah. whether the writer was trying to retcon the reasoning behind the divorce, bobbi having been sexually assaulted, or whatever aspect of the entire storyline, what instead comes across is that the writer decided "woman who survived sexual assault and asserted her agency in letting perpetrator die" should be "so like, bobbi cheated on clint, bc she makes her own decisions!" while we have panels of a man drugging her. ???? the only way you could potentially reconcile this is bobbi is lying to phantom rider to get him to fuck off (bc fuck that guy), but as i mentioned, she also calls him her "ex" in her internal monologue earlier in this very same issue, so that definitely didn't seem to be the writer's intention. sooo. we should all collectively ignore this retcon attempt.

there's also the added complication of whether their divorce was finalized during west coast avengers what with bobbi being presumed dead but then not dead, and then clint actually dying and then undying and then dying and then undying again, bobbi confirming they were divorced in new avengers reunion, but then hawkeye v4 later having clint sign divorce papers...but that's not the crux of the issue at hand. leave that for a wills and trusts probate hypo.

SO in summary: not really. if you found this obnoxiously long, enjoy this even longer text post i once made summarizing their relationship, kind of!

Listen, Bobbi Morse is bisexual and that’s canon even if marvel won’t make it canon.

bobbi morse for the headcanon thing!!!!

I gotchu, she's so underrated and for what

A:  realistic

Because Ming loves Star Wars, people tend to label May as the Star Wars kid, but I bet it was Bobbi. She's low-key about it because she's low-key about everything, but if she's watching Empire alone in the common space she can be seen murmuring along with the dialogue. She and Hunter have a running game going when they watch together. They each recite what they think the next line is; big popular lines ("I am your father," "Scruffy-looking nerf herder") are off limits because "it's free real estate, Bob." "You're just saying that because you thought it was "Luke, I am your father" until we watched it together." Whoever is right gets the satisfaction of having beaten the other (it's Bobbi and Hunter. That's a lot of satisfaction).

Bobbi wore 1 Star Wars shirt and now it's featured in every fan work ever, so here's my contribution to that.

B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious

Bobbi cannot cook for shit. Field agents like her kind of have to be able to cook so they can, you know, survive in safe houses with limited resources, but between her and May, two of the best and most renowned specialists on base, there is subzero cooking skills. Even Daisy can heat up a pizza-- she lived in her van for years. Bobbi explodes butter in the microwave.

C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends

Her leg never healed correctly. In canon we see her taking physical therapy very seriously despite hating it, and she moves on it just fine after a while, but a break like that at such an awful angle just does not heal all the way. She doesn't need crutches or anything, but it protests with every step. Bobbi Morse, the Mockingbird, has a limp. A weak spot. Every time an enemy exploits it in a fight, kicking out her leg from beneath her, like clockwork, she dreams about Ward. She wakes up in cold sweat, and grabs at her knee, making sure the bones are in the right place.

D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.

Bisexual. It's unrealistic because Marvel are cowards. End of headcanon.

Btw does anyone want to hear my concept for a possibly decent Scooby Doo reboot with added diversity/adult themes

[swifteforeverandalways]

i wish there wasn’t such a stigmatized view on platonically loving people.

I can’t call people nicknames and pet names like hun and honey without them immediately assuming i have romantic interest in them.

i can’t tell my friends i love them without adding on “platonically” or shortening the phrase “ily” “love you” “love u”

i love a lot of people. i love my sister, i love my boyfriend, and i love my best friend. All different versions of love.

let us love people openly and honestly without it being seen as “making a move” or being romantically interested.

please please please stop assuming that love is strictly romantic, i promise you life becomes so much brighter and bigger when you stop keeping love strictly romantic.

I’m not a real person shipper but if we got an entire album of happy love songs like The Alchemy and So High School (plus a few football jokes cuz I love me my football) I would die of happiness

if ‘so high school’ and ‘the alchemy’ are any indication of what an album about Travis would sound like… it’s a need

The realest

Andrea Swift is so real for wanting Kim Kardashian dead

[swifteforeverandalways]

I forgot how good of a show CSI Cyber is and how adorable of a ship Brody/Raven is. I love Nelven. Also, Krumitz is hilarious.

[swifteforeverandalways]

Zelina next to Jason Kelce and Lane Johnson would be like me next to them. I love it.

[swifteforeverandalways]

I’m so bummed that 911 and 911 Lone Star are on different networks because I would LOVE to see Buck calling them up and excitedly telling them about his kiss.

T.K. is going to be so happy for Buck

[swifteforeverandalways]

Hell yeah he is. TK and Carlos both. Because let’s be real, TK 100% told Carlos about Buck.

T.K. is going to be so happy for Buck

I NEED TO KEEP REMEMBERING WHAT TODAY IS

Anyway, how are people feeling about Zendaya’s casting? I guess I don’t really picture her as Cassie, but she seems like a reasonably good actor, so.

I WANT HER TO CHOKE ME STILL

AYO RHEA!!!!

The Originals S2E02 II Legacies S4E11

#intro to being a hybrid

[swifteforeverandalways]

I have offically come to the conclusion that the best Legacies ship is Handizzie. AKA Hope/Landon/Lizzie AKA me getting to have both Handon and Hizzie.

[swifteforeverandalways]

Hope and Lizzie transforming from enemies to the very best of friends is still my favorite relationship growth in Legacies. And even though Lizzie ended up with MG, I still would’ve loved to see Hizzie.

[swifteforeverandalways]

I won’t ever get over the fact that josie is one of the biggest reasons why Lizzie hated Hope. We could’ve gotten Lizzie and Hope as friends SO MUCH earlier.

So, I’ve been rewatching Legacies from the beginning on Netflix and this is the first time I’ve actually sat down and rewatched it all (I’ve rewatched some episodes, but never the whole show) and it just solidified my intense dislike (I don’t like the word hate) for Josie Saltzman. From the beginning she had made herself out to be a victim and Lizzie the bad guy, when in reality SHE was the bad guy. I’ll list my examples below:

• Was Lizzie oblivious sometimes? Yes. But Josie constantly made it out like Lizzie purposely “took” things from her when in reality she just never opened her mouth and said she wanted them.

• In the AU ep when the girls went to Mystic Falls High and their personalities were meant to be switched, Josie wasn’t just a little oblivious, she was downright CRUEL to Lizzie and let all of her “friends” bully her too.

• Not only did SHE set the fire in Hope’s room, (albeit by accident) but SHE purposely alienated Hope and Lizzie because she was jealous and didn’t want Lizzie to “take” Hope. If it had been a guy who purposely alienated a female love interest to keep her for himself, people would go nuts.

• Adding onto that, SHE told everyone about Lizzes mental health issues and called her all those awful names behind her back.

• Also, when she said to Lizzie “how could I like someone who would say such awful things about my twin?” and then proceeded to date Penelope, who blatantly bullied Lizzie and made fun of her mental health issues.

• And let’s not forget that SHE read her sisters diary to the other witches and made fun of not only Lizzie, but Hope as well behind their backs. And her excuse for reading the diary in the first place was that she knew something was wrong and just wanted to understand. So, she was old enough to understand that her sister was going through something, yet still read it to the other kids and bullied her for it.

• She was ALWAYS reminding Lizzie of how selfish she thought she was no matter how hard she tried to change.

• She was constantly making snide remarks about Lizzie’s mental health and blaming her for her issues.

• And finally: Dark Josie. Dark Josie was NOT a separate person. It WAS her. All of the things she did (like killing Lizzie) were things that she deep down WANTED to do. It wasn’t like a vampire without humanity who just does things cause they don’t care, she actually felt all of those things deep down. All the dark magic did was take her ability to keep herself from doing them.

• There are probably a million other points I could make, but I’m gonna stop here.

So, this is just MY opinion. You can like whoever you want and ship whoever you want, but this is my take on the character.
