#losers as athletes

[sciderman]

Do you think Peter learned how to breakdance when he got his powers just to add flare to his movement?

i think peter parker had been trying and failing to breakdance long before the spider-bite, and is just happy to discover he finally has the upper body strength to actually pull it off now

#sci speaks #i don't think peter ever learns the genuine technique for anything. he freestyles. #he's an academic nerd. he is bad at sport and always will be. even if he's physically athletic he just doesn't learn the technique. #he'll always be bad at it. he doesn't get the rules #same as breakdancing he just freestyles. he will never know how to dance. and he'll never be able to floss either. he just can't. #wade can. #i also think peter could never master martial arts or anything because of that. he just relies on instinct. #i know he learns martial arts in the comics shuuut up i know i know he does but it's only because he loses his spider-sense. #i don't think he'd devote the time to learning a sport or dance or martial art. #i think he just doesn't see the benefit. he wings it. all the time. #“like yeah okay i could devote all the time to learning that. but i could also just. punch it.” #he's so funny he's so funny. #i love my apathetic loser guy who has SUPER STRENGTH but is also too lazy for sport. #he could become an olympic athlete. but he just doesn't wanna. #he could become a world-famous breakdancer. but he doesn't wanna. #he does all of those things but with no discipline whatsoever. #no discipline. that is why wade kind of hates him. #he picks up new skills so effortlessly but he has nOOO DISCIPLINE. he doesn't care about technique or rules. #but he pulls it off anyway. wade is fuming.

As someone who reads like a LOT of dumb romance books, one thing that ticks me off is that the authors always strive so hard for body diversity when it comes to ladies, but that courtesy is never given to the guys. All dudes are always described to be square jawed and muscled and very tall and like… its boring lol.

Its not woke or special to go out of your way to diversify women’s bodies and describe them to be different and then write 1018301 books with the same muscled beefcake abs upon abs motherfucker but like with different hair colors or something. Such emphasis on the lovely softness of plus size women, but then clear disgust for fat or softness when it comes to a guy. Sure. Alright. I hate it.

#Ruby dixon really loves the term ‘without an ounce of body fat’ to describe men and it drives me fuckin nuts #also the lack of body diversity in the men makes the body diversity in the women feel cheap #Also Im a sucker for height and bulk and i GET why its so common but like bigger gal? smaller guy??? is the HEIGHT of pairings lmao #Also i read a lot of monster romance and im often ticked off by the fact that it’s basically contemporary romance but with a man who is #green or something like ugh can we have some fucking MONSTER in the damn monster romance???? #Monsters bodies can be FREAKISH AND WEIRD #I WANT FREAKS GIMME FREAKS #Also like why must the man always be so strong lol like why do we need these romance book heroes to be olympic athletes #I want a weak cringefail idiot loser #Can the monster man be a dumb pathetic idiot for once PLS #Can i have PATHETIC #Can i have weird and unnerving and pathetic #gimme weirdos and freaks

i am very much so supposed to be working right now but i happened to open my copy of the iliad to fact-check something and wow ever time i actually return to the text i am simply charmed by how lame achilles is

#sore loser. nerd. not particularly intelligent. whiny. mama's boy. #hes really the total package if the total package is 26 year old student athlete and deadbeat dad #thank you so much emily wilson for the service youve done for people who find achilles just fascinating and quite a bit pathetic #the iliad #achilles

(slaps stack of twenty aubrey/maturin novels) this bad boy can fit so much american college d1 ncaa swimming au material in it

#aubreyad #jack (d1 athlete) and stephen (loser bio+classics major somehow also doing premed) start beef in a music theory class #junior year ​s becomes student manager slash assistant coach of the swim team and j is team captain #reverse of the medal would be jack like. getting suspended for violating ncaa compliance by letting an alum buy him a drink or something #pullings is That freshman #don’t know what stephen could possibly be a spy about though #uncovering a doping scandal or like. hazing. cough boston college #anyways ships and swim teams are equally homoerotic environments this is where the entire idea came from

lumax is the grumpy/sunshine bi4bi couple that stancy wanted to be

#i mean think about it #man is sweet/charming/lovable #athlete but also kinda a loser sometimes #woman is headstrong/goal oriented/independent #has a bad relationship with the patriarchy and a weird relationship with her mother #woman is suffering from loss of someone close to her #man handles it poorly but only because he’s under equipped and all his efforts really are trying to help her #when woman tries to end things she goes down doing as much damage as she can but man still loves her because he has to. he has to. #i’m just saying #the problem is that lumax works for some reason #and stancy. does not. #steve harrington #nancy wheeler #lucas sinclair #max mayfield #stancy #lumax #lumax supremacy #stranger things #maybe it’s cause max actually loves lucas back #ahem looking at you s2 nancy

[bodymachine]

uh oh everyone don’t join your local choir there may be hot people in it .

#and they may be athletic and unafraid of bugs and have palestinian flags on their tote bag #and sometimes they’re around ur age which makes them want to talk to u #so keep ur wits about u #sometimes u do something that u think makes u look a bit loser-ish but then u find ppl who are cool and good and attractive so watch out

[bi-demon-ium]

im sorry im thinking about the adults parallels with the kids and like that post i just reblogged from @mahpotatoequeen on #21 and the idea that kate is essentially the society's milligan has me tearing up what the fuck

#wetheralls being the athletic protectors of their respective little found family units #what the ufjkc #kate wetherall #milligan wetherall #the mysterious benedict society #i admit i am thinking about the show but this also works for the books obviously as im pretty sure op was in fact talking about the books. #but listen im a loser.

dukedarling → snakesanderson

#hehe new url #i finally read that athletic article where they talk about the snake nickname #and he’s such a loser i truly find it so charming #i’ve been meaning to change this blogs name for ages considering that duke darling is a veryyyy niche reference in a very small fandom #that i don’t post about anymore #so i’m changing my username to be about my special guy to distract myself from the horrors (i got a notbad but notgood mark on my chem test)
