Guysssss what about an Ugly Betty inspired Lokius AU where Odin is fed up of Loki sleeping with his personal advisors so he hires a certain TVA agent that he thinks Loki won’t be tempted to sleep with (jokes on you Odin)

fuck yes holy shit intentionally hiding clumsily to engineer a situation where kipperlilly has to use a melee attack and then waiting and preparing a spell.... using everything you know about your enemies strategies and abilities to create a trap with yourself as the bait.... who's the mastermind now bitch.

had this dream last night where there was this revolution of people destroying a bunch of police stations, amazon warehouses and the like, except every participant was wearing some level of miku cosplay and at every location they hit they left a graffiti of miku holding a severed head (like the Perseus and Medusa statue but. like. wearing clothes) with the words “world is ours” underneath

WHAT IF your name was Bruce Wayne and you were forced to go on a road trip with 2 people, a boy you've recently taken under your wing and a man you met when you were a kid. The boy is wonderful and you adore him, and a tiny part of you wants to fold him into your family but you know he wouldn't want that so you don't say it. The man is your childhood friend turned half-friend half-enemy, and you're homoerotically flirting the WHOLE trip so maybe you love him but you don't say it. And they are both Gotham to you, both manifestations of the city's potential to save and destroy; the boy is a beacon of hope, the man a symbol of corruption. The boy refuses to give up on you, you refuse to give up on the man. You are trying to keep them but also trying so hard not to be selfish. You're in a car with a boy who is not your son and a man who is not your lover and they both HATE each other. Also they are the only two people in the world right now who aren't actively trying to kill you. Anyway I read All-Star Batman #1-5 last night 😭😭

god i NEED to talk about miguel vs. literally every other spider's fighting style. he uses blunt force. he slams and claws and is clunky and heavy. its so so different to the other spiders who are light and airy, utilising agility instead and it reflects a much darker version of spiderman i think. god it was so cool

one of my favorite things about mdzs is that for how heavily its plot involves politics of classism and misogyny... even the characters most directly impacted by it can't and don't free themselves from it. literally the closest exception is mianmian.

meng yao being the "son of a whore" wasn't some sort of commie awakening for him that led him to wanting everyone to be socially equal. he played the political game, climbed the ladders, sucked up to and backstabbed and murdered people, including other prostitutes who actually had nothing to do with how he and his mother were treated at the brothel he grew up in.

he put in so much extra excessive effort for even a fraction of the same respect that members of gentry cultivation clans got. and he did deserve to be treated more humanely! but he feeds into the exact same system that created him, leading to his own undoing.

his efforts were for a fragile upward mobility that was never going to hold up. he never surpassed his origins nor did he empower others in similar stations, because the society he lives in is not one that would accept that.

the second he got caught and all those crimes exposed, he was scapegoated to hell and back, replacing wei wuxian as society's terrible one-sidedly evil boogeyman overnight.

speaking of not-quite male gentry, i think it's interesting that wei wuxian explicitly doesn't try to climb the ladders in BOTH lives, knowing full well that anything he does will be punished just for the sheer fact that he is wei wuxian.

wei wuxian is scolded for giving intelligent and correct answers in school. lan wangji does the same and is praised.

wei wuxian occasionally lounges around with fellow disciples and is punished. jiang cheng does the same and mostly escapes.

wei wuxian refuses to carry his sword around in public (after losing his golden core, which nobody knows) and is scorned as an arrogant upstart. nie huaisang has been doing the EXACT SAME THING for YEARS and nobody bats an eye.

unlike jin guangyao, wei wuxian knew subconsciously from the start that his acceptance was superficial and that he could be cast out any time. when he was 10 and recently taken in by the jiangs, he canonically would not eat or use "too much" food and water because he thought they'd find him a nuisance for "wasting their things" and kick him back out.

now away from just the classism, yu ziyuan is a proud and strong noblewoman in a society that belittles and derides women for everything they do. her strong cultivation doesn't matter. she's victim to the vicious rumors of her husband loving another woman who is strong like her but apparently had a more likeable personality.

it doesn't matter even if jiang fengmian didn't cheat or that wei wuxian is wei changze's son with cangse sanren; yu ziyuan can't bear with the humiliation of herself (and by extension her children) not being "good enough". she's ridiculed for "failing" in that one duty as a wife, mother, and woman.

she lashes out and takes out that anger on everyone present for years, giving her children lasting trauma and also being a key element in how the jiang family and yunmeng jiang sect are effectively wiped out at the hands of the wen clan.

madam jin doesn't even have a name outside of the fact that she's married to jin guangshan. i don't even remember reading anything that indicates if she's a strong or weak cultivator, or what, which in itself proves that to most people, it doesn't matter. she's "just" a woman.

of course she's angry at her husband's affairs and all the bastard children they bring in. but she also can't do anything about them, so she lashes out at the few people she can: servants. non-cultivators, probably. those very same bastard children.

shoutout to meng yao getting shoved down a flight of stairs at age fourteen, because if madam jin tried that move against her husband instead, it would make her lose even more face, which as a noblewoman she'd never do.

and that's not getting into how jiang yanli is consistently sidelined for being physically weak.

that's not getting into how mianmian was actually a good cultivator, but was mocked by everyone around her for trying to stand up for wei wuxian when everyone was turning on him. how everyone scoffed at luo qingyang's words as "just some lovesick woman" who "obviously wants to marry or bed him since he saved her".

luo qingyang is the only one of these characters who HASN'T died. she didn't play society's games like jin guangyao. she didn't dig her heels in confidence of her own abilities like wei wuxian.

she didn't bitterly lash out like yu ziyuan and madam jin. she didn't gently accept it like jiang yanli.

she just LEFT.

she married an ordinary merchant and cultivates separately from mainstream cultivation society, and therein found her own peace and happiness.

mxtx doesn't bother with particularly class conscious or feminist vocabulary to hand-hold readers into understanding these disparities, but that choice highlights them & the deeply entrenched politics of their society even more. i really love it.

💖✨ Gentlemen prefer blondes ✨💖

Hi!! Sorry for the unexpected absence, life has been life-ing lately and I haven't got a minute to sit down and breathe. Everything's fine, though!

Anyway, here's a sneak peek to Y.A. Talia. Do we love her? She'll get her blonde era, but I'm not sure if that's her definitive future hair. We'll see. Also, I discovered she's a Serenity™ girly.
