I think it's weird how like. the avengers/other superheroes aren't comparable to anything in the real world, but the mcu is also constantly trying to compare them to something. like in phase one they're sort of military esque?? with the exception of tony and steve, people aren't like aware of them as people, they just kind of exist alongside the military as super weapons.
then in the cacw-endgame era they're all at a certain level of celebrity status. peter obviously knows who tony stark is and idolizes iron man to a certain extent, but the only sort of memorabilia he has is the mask from the stark expo, which given the everything about tony, makes sense, and in context is not a rlly weird thing to have.
and then now, a lot of them are treated fully as fictionalized/mythologized characters?? kamalas room is COVERED, not only in her own captain marvel fanart, but also in official posters and merch. she has captain marvel tshirts that have comic book covers on them, as if she exists in our world where captain marvel is a fictional superhero and not like. an asset of the US air force. she's writing fanfic about a woman who has not been seen publicly since the 90s?? which tbf, I guess people writing beatles rpf are in similar trenches.

Ten and Donna end up on a fucked up deadly space newlyweds show despite uh. Not being newlyweds but they get almost all the questions right. They start to sweat when the final question is "what's one secret desire you have involving the other?" And Donna writes "sometimes I wish I could occasionally shrink down the doctor real small so I could carry him around in my pocket and make sure he doesn't get lost' while Ten writes "sometimes I wish I was small enough that Donna could carry me around in like a cat backpack or maybe a shirt pocket" and they look at each other like AYYYYYY because not only are they deeply drift compatible they're also fuckin weird about it 💖

i dont think fandom people who only think about male characters and only create content for male characters are like horrible misogynists but i do think they often have some shit they need to unpack. like how can you , for example, play life is strange and the only thing you come away with from that is you want nathan and warren to fuck nasty. how can you watch birds of prey, and the only thing you come away with from that is you want roman and victor to fuck nasty......... like idk! idk! i just find it strange especially when people will engage with media Specifically about women and then put no effort in to empathize or care about them, sometimes even going far enough to say they HATE the female characters and that theyre bitches... IDK!!!!

Steve wearing a ring Eddie gifts him as a joke (so he can be less prep/more cool) except Steve ends up wearing it all the time.
Something happens-- Eddie misplaces or otherwise forgets his rings one night, and ends up having to go about the day without them.
He's so used to spinning and fidgeting with them that he feels practically naked. Keeps touching his bare fingers and wincing.
Without asking and mid conversation with Robin, Steve offerings him not Steve's own ring, but his entire hand.
Just gives his hand over to Eddie, an intrusive thought he followed without sparing so much as a second to think it through.
(Eddie plays with the ring on Steve's finger anyway, trying not to blush about it, but very much needing the distraction. )
Robin calls them out about ten minutes in, asking why Steve didn't just take the ring off.
“Oh. I didn't think about that. Sorry Eddie.”
“Don't apologize man, this is better."
Steve nods like that makes perfect sense, and Eddie refuses to elaborate further.
Robin wants to choke them both because they're fucking romance-blind idiots.
