#peepaw is gonna get obliterated :((((

vashwood if they both looked like their age

back at it again with a vibe check!!

let me preface this as brief as possible: I don’t care about polls.

dont get me wrong, i think they’re fun!! especially the sillay goofy ones like “which peepaw would get obliterated by a single chili in their food” that kind of silly.

but i’ve been noticing a trend in which a lot of those polls are starting to look like thinly veiled popularity contests – obviously not everyone intends that, but it’s just starting to look like that. me personally? i dont really give a shit bc again, i write for myself bc i wanna read specific things and i might as well produce what i want to see and just invite everyone else who has a similar desire. but if you’re gonna start polls just to see which is more “popular” then i kindly ask you to leave my stuff out of it bc im getting a little tired of it.

i do recognise odd man out is well known bc ppl like what i write and tell ppl about it, so i think it’s not only a little unfair to pit smaller fics against mine but also invites a lot of ugly behaviour like shitting on the bigger fics just bc they are “popular”. im sorry, but most of us werent even ASKED if we wanted to be in those polls and honestly? i refuse to take any responsibility for hurt feelings.

i’m doing this for Fun, i’m not competing with anyone. us with “big fics” literally do not owe you any consolation, we’re doing this for free and none of it pays us any bills. all what these repeated competitions and comparisons do is kill motivation and the fun we get from creating and exchanging ideas.

i had fun with the recently finished peepaw poll bc with how i interacted with some of the members, a lot of them didnt take it as seriously and i liked that, that’s what made it fun. im not telling you to not stop making polls, but at least dont create any where it seems like you all are clamoring for some popularity contest – leave my stuff out of those bc i really dont wanna deal with weird comments and halfway demanding asks bc i promise, i will not care about it bc we’re all some guy on the internet. but i know some ppl really dont wanna be part of this but are stuck pretending they’re okay out of fear they’re gonna ruin everyone’s fun – and you all know im not a fan of putting everyone’s fun before anyone’s boundaries.

so here’s mine; you may use odd man out in your polls, especially the silly goofy ones. i’d prefer that you don’t use odd man out in your borderline popularity polls, but even if you do, i won’t care about it and will dismiss it along with everything related to it. and please, for the love of god, stop putting me, my stuff or anyone else and their stuff on a pedestal bc that never ends well for anybody.

okay so mr. fantastic. i am sooooo bummed about this because i have atomic marvel fatigue. but objectively, marvel has been consistently awful lately, and pedro is so above this now. (i think a part of him will always have a struggling-actor-sized-chip on his shoulder, making him unable to say no to these kinds of roles. i mean that and the millions of dollars they’re probably throwing at him)

BUT, to the important stuff. i don’t think pedro will (or can lmfao) get into six pack shape, even for marvel. i don’t think it’s necessary because lots of marvel suits have been cgi lately (spider man would be the perfect comparison here). i think they’re gonna slap him in some grey tracking pjs and edit his body. if they have any sense they’ll keep his dad bod, his fan base is rabid about it not in spite of it.

while i’m here, i’d like to place my bed that they will poke fun at his dad bod à la david harbour in black widow. i bet it will be something like him realizing his stretchy powers and suck in his stomach and stretch into the “perfect” body, then let go. seems like a super lame and mildly fatphobic gag marvel would do.

Why would you say something so controversial yet so brave, Nonnnie?

All jokes aside, I do agree about Marvel fatigue (I haven’t felt hype for an MCU project in a hot minute), but let me be clear: my love/need/appreciation for Peepaw will obliterate any concerns I have for this project.

I sat thru The Bubble (no hate no shade to those who enjoyed it). I paid an obscene amount of money for a French dvd copy of Strange Way of Life (shame me for my impulse control). Baby, if seeing Pedro on the big screen means I have to sit through a movie franchise that I legit have no interest in - I WILL.

That being said, I saw a post earlier today that indicated Peepaw is at his peak beefiness (hello me and my call sign) and he’s been cast as one of the thinnest super heroes. Gotta be honest, cgi or not, that BTS shot we’ll get of him in mocap suit will make all this worth it imo.

AND IF YOUR PREDICTION IS TRUE, NONNIE, I WILL NOT SURVIVE. YOU HEAR ME? CHIEF DADDY HOPPER IN BLACK WIDOW MADE ME LOSE TIME AND SPACE. I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO HANDLE IF THAT IS PEEPAW AT THE END OF THAT NARRATIVE.

Thank you, Nonnie, for your thought provoking ask!

What-a-man-what-a-man regards,

Beefro👌🥩💜

Okay here's my propaganda for this thing even though I know I'm gonna get my ass kicked so so bad

I have copious amounts of gay swag.

My brother @purplegenius90000 will probably blow you up if you're not nice to me, just saying. That's both a threat and a promise!

I have an adopted father figure in the form of @fabulous-future-leo and I KNOW you do not want to disappoint peepaw here. Look at him. He's old. And decrepit. And SAD. Do you want this peepaw to pass into the afterlife without one little ounce of happiness in his life from watching his son obliterate the competition? No? Didn't think so.

I know a Ghostbuster. I'm not even saying that ironically. I know a guy who fights ghosts for a living. Actually, I know all four of them (but Peter can get L + ratio'd). Don't take my word for it, go bother @dr-egonspengler about it if you really want to. Make fun of those stupid-ass sweater vests he wears or something. Shame him for not letting me drive the Ecto.

My fashion game is on fucking POINT and I need you all to validate this for me.

Unlike the other cringe fail Leos I can actually kind of cook decently well? Feel like this is a valid point to make.

Have been to an alternate dimension not once but TWICE and lived to tell about it.

Can shred on guitar. I'll even write you a song if you vote for me. Scout's honor.

Mikey will be so so sad if you don't vote for me and you do NOT want a visit from Doctor Delicate Touch.

Also if I beat bettertwin1 I will be so so insufferable about it so you know <3
