Marvel Gothic
- The comic you like came out this week. It came out last week. It will come out the week after. It won’t be seen again for another 3 months.
- Everything is presented as status quo shattering and game changing. Game changing and status quo shattering IS the Status Quo.
- It Is a Big Deal that Captain Marvel is a woman now. You remember the last Captain Marvel was a woman. No one else does.
- You read a comic you purchased today. It feels like it already happened. You don’t have this comic, do you?
- Those two characters hate each other but are best friends. Everyone wants them to kiss. What is real? What isn’t?
- You read your favorite comic. Nothing happens. But everything happens as well.
- Written by Brian Michael Bendis is on every issue cover. You can’t remember a time a book you read wasn’t by Brian, Michael, or Bendis.
- You read a comic you purchased today. It feels like it already happened. You don’t have this comic, do you?
- That issue you’ve been looking forward to for the past three months finally came out. You read it. Nothing is the same. You don’t remember this world. Did this comic exist three months ago? Your memory is failing.
- A prominent gay superhero gets married. You’ve never heard of their spouse-to-be. Who are they? Have they appeared in a comic before?
- You pick up Avengers #1. You picked up an Avengers #1 last week. There is another next month. Half of your Marvel collection are #1s. Does the number two exist in the Marvel Universe?
- You read a comic you purchased today. It feels like it already happened. You don’t have this comic, do you?
- Wolverine is on every cover. So is Deadpool. It’s gritty but there’s a 4th wall shattering pop culture reference involving chimichangas and Canada indirectly.
- Does anything exist outside of New York?
- Who the hell is Bucky?
- Your comic issue has a decimal. Is it a full comic? Where does X-Force Vol 4 #1.INH.NOW.ULT.1 compared to X-Force Vol 4 #1.NOW.1.ULT.
- Do Fractions even exist in the Marvel Universe anymore?
- What’s a Spider-Gwen?
- You think you see Uncle Ben. He is a clone. Clones are all the rage.
- #1.NOW.ULT.INH.1? How do numbers work in the Marvel Universe
- You heard about this book a year ago by your favorite up and coming writer but now He’s Brian Michael Bendis. Do all writers end up merging with Brian Michael Bendis?
- You see a Marvel Movie. It’s your favorite. The next one will be your favorite too. And the one after that.
- You’ve heard of other comics by other companies. You don’t read them. They don’t have Marvel on the cover. But you hear rumblings of a Bat-Man. Who gets bitten by a radioactive bat?
- This list relaunches with the same creative team. It relaunches again next month.
- You are now obsessed with Bucky.
- Every superhero is now named Gwen. There is a Spider-Gwen, a Gwenpool, Captain Gwenmerica, Iron Gwen, The Ingwenible Hulk. Bucky Gwen.
- You can’t wait for the next Unbeatable Squirrel-Gwen #1

this is why remedios varos is the best surrealist and yes i will fight about this
UNSHACKLED SURREALIST CATS
“if somebody becomes panicked when you accuse them of lying theyre obviously not telling the truth” shut up ugly im a survivor who got punished for shit i never did all the time of fucking course im gonna panic when im blamed for something i didnt do
since this post is actually getting attention rn i really want to emphasize this-
many of the “tells” of lying are traits commonly found in abuse survivors and mentally ill/disabled people.
stuttering, averting eye contact, panicking, raising your volume, fidgeting, and other similar traits are actions performed commonly by these groups, especially in situations of heavy stress- such as being accused of doing something we didnt do, especially if we are afraid of being punished for doing nothing.
im honestly begging people to think critically when accusing somebody of lying for small traits like these.
And some people are expert manipulators who can easily lie with a straight face.
So assuming that body language can detect lying causes you to wrongly accuse people of lying while also not protecting yourself from being lied to.
Just stop.
This is a thing that, though I love police procedurals and mysteries, as an abuse survivor and neurodivergent person I wish this trope would fuck off and die, because whenever it surfaces, it reinforces that I am a ‘liar’ in the eyes of anyone watching. It makes me fear what would happen if I ever had to deal with the police, even though I never do anything remotely sketchy.

Reynolds — who has never used a stand-in — played the Deadpool role himself at the shoot, which was referred to internally with the code name “Unicorn Moonlight.” (HR)
its things like this that lets me know there is good in the world
I imagine the Elementary gang having late night diner breakfast after a long case, and exchanging bizarre Sherlock stories. Had to include Alfredo, of course, because he is the man.
Alfredo IS the man.
Buzzfeed made a privilege test, I got a 13 and the highest I’ve seen this go was 78
I got 63/100. The gender ones really brought it down, if I was a guy it would’ve been way higher
I got 31/100. It was brought down by all the gender/sexual orientation question, and the questions about depression/suicide, ect.
I got 48.
29
31
60. I live in a very safe place and my family is secure financially so yeah
With the above additions, I kind of thought I’d at least go above 30…
This test is pretty good, but it oversimplifies some things. Like, I don’t have any student loans because 1, I was poor enough to get my one part time semester covered by financial aid, and 2, I never went back to college after that semester because I couldn’t cope with it mentally. I have never done my taxes myself because I’ve never had a job so I’ve never done taxes period, I was on welfare & disability the first 32 years of my life. I don’t count either of those as privileges.
24 out of 100, and I’m white. Some of the questions are regional, I think, though, because Sallie Mae is not a thing in Australia. I don’t have student loans because I flunked out of high school because I had a mental breakdown due to mental health/PTSD/undiagnosed developmental and learning disabilities, but I owe a bunch of money for other reasons (car, vet bills). I also didn’t answer yes to ever being homeless, because I haven’t, but I did sleep on my girlfriend’s bedroom floor at her parents’ house for about eight months because I couldn’t live at home with my uber-religious homophobic mother any more, so. Also, yes, my mother pays some of my bills, but that’s because we live with her because we can’t afford to rent because the rental market doesn’t have anywhere cheap enough for people on disability, so if the questions were different, it might have been lower.
Female pilots edited out of the Star Wars movies.
I saw the tweets about this today, and I was like oh yeah, I remember hearing about that.
And then I saw the pictures and just— wow. What it would have meant to have these women in the movie, all this time. I can’t properly articulate it but it’s hitting me unexpectedly hard.
Wow thats a shame, even a nice old lady too. These Space Valkyries should have been left in.
They really should have.

WHAT.
THE.
FUCK.
I lived, ate, and breathed Star Wars from age 2 until 2005 when RotS finally beat the enthusiasm out of me, and I have NEVER, EVER in all my reading on behind-the-scenes and makings-of heard of these shots. It’s a shame there was no relaunched edit of the original trilogy they could have slipped these in OH FUCKING WAIT THERE’S BEEN LIKE 3 OF THOSE NOW.
Fuck. FUCK. Whoever decided to edit out and bury these needs to french kiss an angle grinder.
I want to see the old lady in the A-Wing. Seriously, it’s like, she’s somebody’s grandma. Some kid in the Outer Rim Territories got greased by the Empire for seeing something she wasn’t supposed to see, and her grandma, the bush pilot, decided “Fuck this, I’m gonna strap on an fighter and make the Empire fucking PAY for the moment it decided to fuck with MY FAMILY.”
DON’T. MESS. WITH. GRANDMA.
These are quickly being put into the “always reblog” category.
Whenever there is a war, there are women who are warriors. Then they get erased from history. Happens in real wars and fictional ones alike.
Less than 5% of general aviation licenses go to women. If these had been left in, you can bet that number would be higher.
^^^That knocked the breath out of me.
I just can’t believe they not only took them out, but refused to put them back in during the seventeen times they updated the movies. And of course the only possible explanation for this is: you do not belong here.
Literally though. How many stupid remasters have they done but THIS gets left out? Ugh
for the record the names of these characters are Sila Kott played by
Poppy Hands and Dorovio Bold played by Vivienne Chandler. I couldn’t find the name of the old woman though 😦
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dorovio_Bold
“As well as her appearance in the briefing, footage of the character in a cockpit during the Battle of Endor was also filmed, but not used in the final cut of the movie.”http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Sila_Kott “Although played by British actress Poppy Hands in Return of the Jedi, Sila Kott was later dubbed over by an American man’s voice.”
That old lady has been fighting the Empire since its inception. She knows, more than the younger pilots around her, what they lost, what they had before, the swift and increasing evil of the galactic takeover.
