You know that Elspeth had a bunch of queer friends. She was a lesbian, once, so she obviously knows some people. Has some of them stay at Saltburn while they recover from surgeries, or evictions, the poor dears.

So Felix finds out Oliver is trans and he’s like “well why would he lie about having a dick? No one does that except Mum’s friend—ohhhhhh nvm.”

Peter: I discovered the best power move

Tony: Oh yeah? What is it?

Peter: just look someone in the eyes and tell them "I talked to my therapist about you" then never elaborate

Tony: that's pretty good actually

Peter: I know right! You have to wait for the perfect timing though, you don't want it to seem like you want them to know that, you know?

Tony: Oh yeah, I completely agree.

Tony: *3 minutes later* HEY STEVE! GUESS WHAT! I TALKED TO MY THERAPIST ABOUT YOU!

The 1967 Barbara McNair episode of Hogan’s Heroes seems to be the only one currently purged from Amazon Prime.

In this episode, Ivan Dixon uses the Adam Clayton Powell catch phrase, “Keep the faith, baby!” to great laugh track approval.

Barbara McNair plays a Detroit torch singer employed by a Nazi clubowner. Ivan Dixon wants to recruit her for a secret mission to steal Nazi defense plans.

She shouts at him, “What makes you think you can walk in here and casually ask me to jeopardize everything I’ve built up all my life? Even risk my life! For what? What? For a country that gave me nothing - and I mean Not. A. Thing.”

fic idea, voltron x dc crossover: the paladins are wandering around the universe, not really trying to get anywhere urgently, when they come across a destroyed planet. a few parts are relatively intact, so they land and explore, maybe pay their respects to the dead.

lance wanders into the shell of what might have been a fancy house, and finds a strange symbol. maybe in tile on the floor, maybe painted onto a wall, maybe as part of a broken statue or as a wearable pin. whatever the form, it shocks him.

“guys!” lance yells. they gather close.

“wait…” keith whispers.

“no way,” hunk laughs in disbelief.

“i think i might lose my mind,” pidge adds.

shiro is speechless from shock.

“paladins?” allura asks warily. “what’s going on?”

“oh, nothing,” lance says with false calm. “just, slap me if im crazy, but this is superman’s symbol, right? the big s on his chest?”

#voltron #voltron legendary defender #vld #dcu #dc comics #superman #krypton #crazy crossovers #xovers #drabbles #fic ideas #the feeling when you casually stumble across the crumbling planet and desiccated bodies of the civilization of your favorite real life hero #right sfter ghat last line shiro faints #like he is the biggest superman fan #and you can pry that hc from my cold dead hands #when you get to krypton and find my corpse

“Soldier,” Vengeance of the Moon Knight (Vol. 2/2024), #3.

Writer: Jed MacKay; Penciler and Inker: Alessandro Cappuccio; Colorist: Rachelle Rosenberg; Letterer: Cory Petit

#Marvel #Marvel comics #Marvel 616 #Vengeance of the Moon Knight #Vengeance of the Moon Knight vol. 2 #Vengeance of the Moon Knight 2024 #Moon Knight comics #latest release #Soldier #Tigra #Greer Nelson #I love this distinction between what Moon Knight does/did in vol. 9 compared to other heroes #don’t get me wrong I obviously love Spider-Man (and only to a slightly lesser extent Daredevil) but this is a cool difference #feels a little more grounded almost like community defense as opposed to a high-flying cape issue #also fascinating comparing to a drug implying these low level villains are thrill seekers/adrenaline junkies #but most critically…hmmm….this may just be more indicative of my own perspective than anything (bear with me)#but interestingly those last two text boxes on finding the balance between keeping a group too scared to make a move #and not so scared that they get desperate/have nothing left to lose #is very similar to the basis of a theory of counterinsurgency #that an iron fist can keep a group from developing means + will to organize but the ruling regime must be careful #to not be too cruel or else it will push the group into survival mode/win it sympathy from the local or international population #(it’s very reminiscent of Machiavelli’s The Prince)#Mind you it’s a theory usually entertained by authoritarian regimes where people have few de facto civil rights #and its efficacy/sustainability’s debatable as it takes one hiccup with the regime (markedly weak ruler/secession crisis/natural disaster/#excessive use of force/etc) for the insurgency to flair up again #Marc’s past with the CIA is mentioned in this issue so I wonder if that’s what this is all about #but uuuuuh yeah do with that info what you will sorry hahaha #don’t mind me rambling in the tags

on a personal level, no, reading “problematic” media wont like, change your moral compass

but i do feel like maybe! we could discuss uhhhh the history of racist fiction in america and the way it’s added to the overall self mythology of america and the way white people think about and interact with Black people to this day

rather than making 500 “haha people who think fiction affects reality are so stupid” posts

#i am getting so tired of ‘oh you think fiction affects reality?? i guess you kill people if you ever read about a murderer #no bitch i just have studied american history #i’ve studied gone with the wind and fucking birth of a nation #and yes there were other areas where those narrative of the civil war were being pushed (textbooks & confederate statues & etc.)#BUT LIKE. THERE ARE OTHER AREAS WHERE WHITE SUPREMACY IS BEING ADVANCED RIGHT NOW. AND ALSO FUCKING ALWAYS.#it drives me crazy because i feel like at first ‘problematic’ was used to refer to like #racist or homophobic or sexist depictions #and now it’s been reduced to ‘oh poor baby doesnt know not to murder people unless the author says it’s bad’ like bro shut up #even aside from the historical examples #think about all the cop shows that have completely altered most people’s idea of the police away from what the actual job is #making them into action heroes (and demonizing the internal review people like. what)#increasing the perception of danger and decreasing the respect for ‘going by the book’ aka obeying rhe fucking law and respecting people’s #constitutional rights #i know i should know better than to hope for nuance on this app #but i swear the next self righteous ‘people who think fiction affects reality are so stupid’ post is getting blocked #it’s not about your personal media consumption it’s about the stories we as a society tell ourselves and each other repeatedly!#and even if you personally aren’t susceptible to those messages you should be aware of when you’re supporting them #mary emma talks
