It has generally been agreed I am Crazy. Apologies in advance. 18, cis female, often obsessed, sorry I'm not sorry. |
what if medusa were hot
what if medusa only turned dudes into stone and there was a big ol’ lady loophole in her stone-turning powers
so maybe the two of you could just hang out in her apartment while her hair slithers endlessly over itself and doesn’t smell like a gross nasty old snake cage but like, she uses conditioner and everything, it’s all good, and sometimes when you put your head on her boobs while you read your book her hair will curl around your face and shoulders and all those bright happy little snake eyes will check out what you’re reading and she’ll just be doing her nails or something idk
what if man
what if it was only people who thought medusa was ugly who were turned into stone, i mean what if it was not the girl but your own horror at her ~unnaturalness that destroyed you
what if you looked at her and her strange face and her furious eyes and her screaming hair and you were unafraid
what if you looked at the monster and you loved her
could you live with her in her cave
could you kiss her hard angry mouth while her hair nuzzled your earlobes
maybe
modern les amis ♔ antonia thomas as enjolras
A woman, they whisper, as if it is a curse, as if because of her curves and her sex she is a temptress, a whore, something inhuman, a creature to feared and not to be trusted. As if because of her sex she cannot be a leader, cannot bring about change. She does not share her ‘maiden name’ - it is hers and not the business of anyone else. Enjolras is mocked for the colour of skin, for the curve of her breasts and the outward jut of her hip. “What are you doing here?” the men from the shadows tease, tongues darting out against their yellowed teeth. She spits at them, sometimes, when she cannot help it. (Enjolras can help it; but she doesn’t want to.) They ask her to make them food, to fix them sandwiches and beers; instead she brings revolution with her, in the sway of her hip and the flick of her tongue. A Goddess - an savage Apollo, a chaste Aphrodite - she is called, who graces those of the Earth with her presence. Enjolras knows the idea dangerous - that a person is more than a person - but knows that her looks will attract the attention of those who would not otherwise listen. She is more Athena than Aphrodite - always has been.
She is not a creature of sex - Enjolras is aware of her beauty, has been since men have yelled at her out of car windows about what they would do to her (even as a thirteen-year-old), but does not care for it. She cannot be seduced, though many have tried and, when attempts failed, forced themselves. Enjolras has sharp nails, though, and a bite to make the largest man howl. Her sexuality is her own, and she tames it and quells it as she pleases. The eyes of men that follow her only disgust her. There are more important things than their pleasure. There are children and women and men who sleep in the cold of Paris’ streets, who go to bed with their concave bellies seeming to eat themselves. Enjolras is a voice for them; she understands them the best she can and will howl their song, will sing it and screech it until the day she dies, whether that day be soon or when she is old.
People - men and women alike - will follow her into the depths of hell; she knows this, and knows she cannot - will not - fail them.

Good story, an embracing of the Greek mythology and history, and a Diana that is clearly her own agent. Amazons who are worthy of the name, not in the sense that they’ve amputated a breast, but in the sense that they are not-to-be-fucked-with. Little-to-no romance. A costume that makes more sense. An epic sword fight. A thematic core that addresses the questions of xenophobia v. inclusion, and nature v. nurture, and that takes the core feminism of the concept and instead of apologizing for it or avoiding it, embraces it as a given, so it is simply there, rather than being what it’s about.
Mostly, one that embraces the character rather than apologizes for her.
"Greg Rucka, on what he wants to see in a Wonder Woman movie (via thehappysorceress)
(via okayophelia)
basically, this is all valtyr’s idea therefore her fault. aLL HER FAULT
backstory provided by val:
- this is set in the ults verse.
- tony finds out about a secret weapon greg and fury has hidden away in a secret government facility and goes to investigate
- finds out they’re mini supersoldiers, all under 5-6 years old, based directly from steve and decides that he wants all and greg will have none. he takes all 12 back home
- steve eavesdrops on greg and fury about a missing ‘weapon’ tony stole and goes to visit tony at 2am by slamming him against the wall ooh la la
- by the time steve finds out about this the kids are very attached to tony because he’s nicer than the facility and gives them anything they want - (“here is my credit card”)
- showdown between greg and fury, and tony and steve. steve decides that pros outweigh the cons if he coparents the kids with tony and sticks by tony’s decision to not give up the kids at all ever
- CUE DISNEYWORLD ADVENTURES ETC
- basically it’s just an excuse to have ults steve with babies
- also, they find out that 6 of those ministeves are actually ministephanies with unfortunate standardized military haircuts during bathtime. feel free to guess who’s a girl and who’s a boy! huu huu

ab aeterno (From the eternal) by BubblyGreenBubbles
- Inception Crossover
- Eames is one fucked up individual and he stalks the hell out of Arthur and it creeps him out so Arthur runs away and becomes John Blake. Eames becomes Bane and it’s all downhill from there.
- Another Inception Crossover, but this time Inception is the Dream Share Job and John is there to go into Bane’s mind post-TDKR
- Doesn’t go as planned
- Barsad gets all up in that too
- STOCKHOLM!!! MY FAVOURITE!!
Where There’s Life by pagination
- Post-TDKR, Talia dies, Bane lives.
- Not going to lie, the ending of this made me really mad but it doesn’t stop it from being extremely well written or make the story any less brilliant.
- This is straight up brainwashing (oooh yeahh)

#ohhhh this gifset gives me life and i feel like these two shots are exactly what i want about woman kings #the way it’s framed is so interesting as well like it’s ridiculously cinematically appealing #ravenna on high; untouchable in her high tower in feathers and her own mail #a six foot pillar of golden weaponized beauty #snow on foot in common armour framed by her men; the people’s queen a queen on level with the mortals #and yet they are both woman kings; which by definition functions as a paragon and an almost deified figure #SEE THIS IS WHERE PRIEST QUEEN/WARRIOR QUEEN COMES TO PLAY #neither woman yet can truly claim the title of woman king because a king by this period’s definition is probably an absolute monarch #the vicar of god yet expected to lead armies #and ravenna is a symbol of a tyranny extensive enough to be a faith but she doesn’t lead armies #while snow is in the army but she is undoubtedly not established enough to be a paragon of any kind; that comes later #and this is the really interesting final conclusion of this really: that snow will become what ravenna was not #a religious symbol who has the hearts and absolute loyalty of her men who had fought at the forefront of armies; a true woman king #but she’ll establish herself in direct contrast to ravenna for politics #the people will say she’s a wicked woman; who used her sex to charm kings and murder them #and so to gain control snow will have to be her name; absolutely pure in contrast to ravenna’s damaging weaponized sexuality #a virgin queen who is a warrior queen who is a religious symbol who is the true woman king #god what would i give for a sequel (A WELL WRITTEN ONE) where snow becomes like this elizabeth i figure (via ilvalentinos)

“…because Thor wanted to watch sports.”
Thor glances up from where she’s plaiting her own hair. “I did nothing of the-”
She tenses like she’s just been nudged in the gut by an overly subtle Nate, who is munching innocently away on a re-heated plate of nachos that was leftover from last night and has one arm hidden somewhere behind Thor’s back.
Thor says, high pitched, “I wish to learn the Migardian rituals of putting the ball through hoops,” and turns to stare at the TV, where someone just did something to make the crowd boo at him because they all suck and the team sucks and Tony doesn’t actually have any idea what game this is.
