Stormwatch at Clark's Bar

Shen's character demolition is a tragedy to be studied. When SW transitioned to the Authority, all of her character was just left in the dust.

Like, how did she feel about her only remaining comrade, Jack, and his growing ego after the death of Sparks— through her eyes, did a part of him die with Jenny? How does it feel to be caught in a revolving door of conflict where every person is eons more powerful? How does it feel to live in a sentient lunch box that can eat you at any moment?

her old fits are also cooler. 😔

honestly at this point i should create a file for this called: midnighter and apollo's origins. feels like i'm following a breadcrumb trail left by bendix himself.

so if he spent so long crafting midnighter and apollo specifically, why did he so quickly throw them away? did he know this would happen or does he still have them in his web without them even knowing it?

what does this mean? why or how is that shit stain still alive? how long did it take for him to create midnighter and apollo? i am freaking the fuck out.

After coming out my transformation was palpable. Not much was different on the outside beyond a boyish haircut and an ever-so-slightly flatter chest (there’s only so much a binder can do when you’ve got an H cup). But on the inside I’d been resurrected. I was showing up fully in my life for the first time. Small moments like having a Starbucks barista call me by my new name in a crowded coffee shop were euphoric. And as one of the lucky few trans people to have accessed medical transition healthcare in the UK, the more my body has masculinised, the more my contentment has grown.

Let me be clear: I love women. My intellectual heroes, political role models and most beloved artists are women. When submitting my deed poll after coming out as trans, I chose a middle name that would honour the women in my family who’ve made me who I am and taught me how to show up in the world with love and strength. I love femme women, butch women, trans women, cis women, and all the women who show the diversity of and push the boundaries of womanhood. But, dear reader, I am not a woman.

To transphobes, I have become the social failure I was warned about as a child. They see me as a quitter, a social abnormality, an abomination even. Because in refusing to have my gender determined by my genitalia I’ve chosen not to accept my fate. And they are correct: compulsory cisgenderism, and therefore compulsory womanhood, is a narrative I’ve rejected. I’m glad I made that choice, and I stand by it. What’s so scary about the possibility of choice or autonomy when it comes to gender? As the David Carrick case shows, men do not need to cosplay as women to cause harm.

My guess is that when queer and trans individuals choose not to abide by the rigid rules of cisheterosexuality, it throws into relief just how many people are unhappy adherents to behavioural norms thrusted upon them. Norms they’ve had little or zero personal choice in.

bless this iteration of Percy Jackson for genuinely believing, for at least three seconds, that he is the second coming of Christ

Every Nico Di Angelo fan focusing more on the background of the episode than the actual plot

frank: let me get this straight. thalia and jason’s domain is the sky, percy’s domain is water, and hazel and nico’s domain is basically the underground?

annabeth: yes

frank: but… can’t percy also create storms? that have clouds and lightning and thunder?

annabeth: yes

frank: and… and can’t percy also create earthquakes and make volcanoes erupt?

annabeth: yes

frank: so… in a way, doesn’t that mean everywhere is percy’s domain?

annabeth: yes.

annabeth: but don’t tell him. he hasn’t had that realization yet

[mydairpercabeth]

they really nailed percy’s audacity

like, that is the face of a man who was promised eternity with his daughter, a reunion in the west no matter what happened, only to lose her forever to love

MICHAEL JACKSON // (05/∞) Thriller 40: The Album That Changed It All

[badwolf-gallagher88]

Boromir “They took the little ones” really doesn’t get enough credit for how sweet he is to Merry and Pippin. Sword fighting and training with them, protecting them from orcs - despite his flaws he was kind at heart.
