Okay but just imagine being Steve Rogers, and going under the ice in 1945, which was after the publication of The Hobbit (1937) but before The Lord of the Rings (1954).
Steve Rogers very much strikes me as a young man who’d enjoy early genre spec fic, so I like to think that he read and enjoyed The Hobbit when he came out. Then he comes back in the 2000s and discovers that the same author who wrote this charming, whimsical children’s book went on to write three sequels, but the sequels are genre-spawning literary epics, which have become a touchstone of American culture and went on to inspire a hundred knockoffs and entire new schools of western fantasy
It’s like. Imagine that you read Matilda when you were younger, and enjoyed it. Then you got hit by a car and went into a coma and when you came out twenty years later you found out that Roald Dahl had gone on to write The Trunchbull Chronicles, a doorstopper epic war story about Matilda’s daughter Madara, who inherited her mother’s psychic powers and spearheaded a galaxy-wide rebellion against a race of eldritch masters coming from beyond the stars to reclaim their dominion over Earth. Bruce Bogtrotter’s nephew, Baradin Bogtrotter, builds spaceships. Everyone treats this with utter gravitas.

There is something so satisfying about when yall write Clark the reporter interviewing ‘Brucie’ Wayne, and how Bruce is expecting the routine nosy questions journalists always ask. But here comes Clark, handsome, in this fucking Banana Republic suit asking zero questions for the gossip rags. No, he wants to know about those random company projects that have produced no tangible results, yet the money spent on them is actually to-the-dollar amount provided to the school system in Gotham, donated “anonymously”. And are these “anonymous” donations one-offs, or will the school system regularly receive resources to continue supporting the students and faculty?? If so, will there be any “anonymous” donations to the city to improve infrastructure in the school zones as well, so that students and faculty can have safer commutes???
And Bruce has got to figure out WHO the fuck he’s gonna be in the next 3 seconds to determine HOW he’s going to answer because this is a good question but who the hell is this guy and how did he figure this out? He put those donations under the most ridiculous project names he could think of that were still somewhat believable, and made sure those donations were not tied to him in any way. So WHO is going to answer? Brucie, or Bruce? Because it can’t be Batman, that’s not allowed. He came to this event for the optics and now he’s getting figuratively backed into a corner by a sexy man in tweed.

"You have the power to possess me and take over my body but you don't because you respect me"
because it can lead to
"I'll let you possess me and take over my body when necessary because I trust you"
If you're on discord for too long you get the fun experience of gaslighting yourself about what emojis are real. like what do you mean fingerguns is not an actual emoji.
Dehumanizing bigots is bad, not because I want to be nice to them, but because they are human beings and they serve as a reminder that anyone is capable of evil ideation and action. Violent bigots are not fundamentally different beings from you. They are human beings, who have developed a reactionary and destructive belief system due to their circumstances combined with their biases. In a different timeline, that could've been you. Anyone can be radicalized. Nobody is immune to propaganda, not even the person reading this.
You can be talking to someone and she'll be like, "Oh I made a silly mistake. Women don't deserve voting rights teehee." And you'll be like, "What." And she'll be like, "Oh I'm sorry! That must sound so bad out of context. No it's this Tiktok meme where, if you're a girl and you do something dumb, you say 'Women don't deserve voting rights teehee.'"
And you'll be like, "That sounds bad." And she'll be like, "No no. It's totally not that bad. It's just a meme. Men say it too. Like if a man does something silly he'll be like, 'I am like those women who do not deserve to vote.'" And you'll be like, "Does that make it better?" And she'll be like, "Well there was one guy who tried to make 'Men shouldn't vote' a popular meme. But it never caught on and also he got yelled at a lot."
And then you drop it there because like, you're harshing the vibe.
God this makes me think of this screenshot:
"it minimizes you as a person" really wraps up my entire discomfort with the whole "oh but i'm just a girl" thing when used in most situations.
tumblr friendships can be the purest form of friendship bc it's like. hey i like you based on your shitty vibe and concerning ventposts and that weird sex thing we're both into. raw dogging friendship
