Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility.

-"Not yet!"

We cant let this happend, so please, for all artist, writer, spectator... for all your queer, palestine freinds and/or supporters, STOP KOSA! STOP THEM FROM IT.

I'm artist and i'm will show my art, they will not take my and others freedom to be who we are. They're opressors, and they know that this is absurd.

This is not the end, its juts the beginner... And we can be the winners.

What If: Captain America Were Revived Today? #44 (April 1983) by Peter B. Gillis and Sal Buscema; Original Image by John Romita Sr.

In this What If? Marvel tale, Captain America is unfrozen in 1983 rather than the 1960s. Without the leadership of Steve Rogers, The Avengers disband. Meanwhile, a Captain America imposter, who calls himself a "real American," has decided to use his newfound influential media status to publicly support a National Identity Card to "deal with illegal aliens,” to suggest that members of civil rights groups "ought to think seriously as to whether or not their actions contribute to the strengthening of communist enemies," and declare that if those groups tear the country apart with protests, martial law is justified "for the peace to find a solution.”

Neighborhoods with large black populations (e.g., Harlem) are walled off and forced into poverty, and one character even mentions that Jewish people are being “put back into camps.” The right-wing politicians make sure that things like this aren’t shown on television, keeping the majority of the American public ignorant of the horrors committed with their indifferent support. The public are simultaneously told that with some sacrifices, America can be free once again. The fake Captain America confronts a group of peaceful protestors, and he is shot by a sniper (in what reads like an inside job), allowing the police to have “reason” to attack the protestors. The imposter does not die and instead uses the attack to provide more reason for the violent crackdown against protesting groups.

When the true Captain America is unfrozen, he is horrified to see what America has become, especially with his emblem stamped all over it. He immediately seeks out the resistance forces (who clearly represent the Black Panther Party) and joins their cause, stating that "the wrongs [he's] seen will take much more than one man to right -- but [he's] got a name to clear, a costume to unsoil-- and a country to die for!!"

By the time Steve joins them, the resistance only has one chance left to stop the American downfall: a political convention where the "America First" party will be able to secure its support to sweep the national elections and allow them "to return America to the pure and great nation [the] forefathers envisioned."

The resistance strikes just as the convention begins. The Captain America imposter is no match in a fight against the true Captain America -- especially against a Steve Rogers who's fucking pissed. ("Get up so I can knock you down!!")

With the imposter knocked unconscious, Captain America addresses the convention crowd, warning that an America that does not represent all its people does not deserve to exist at all; that liberty can be "as easily snuffed out [in America] as in Nazi Germany" and "as a people, we are no different from them."

The crowd realizes that the man speaking before them is the true Captain America and cheers. Captain America holds his hand up and silences them, stating that he will not allow them the chance to simply replace one idol with another. He alone can’t undo the horrible damage, and he pleads that there’s still a chance for the people to “find America once again.”

Fascism doesn’t change its tune, just its singers.

#captain america #Steve Rogers #hand embroidery #fuck fascism #if you don't think cap says 'trans rights' then you're a fascist #i reread the issue to write the summary and it is a powerful stand-alone story #40 years later and still relevant #a part of me was worried that it wouldn't translate well to current events and.... welp #the commissioner asked that i make one minor change of 'freedom of all men' to 'freedom of all people'#i think that is a very appropriate update and i think 2023 cap (and good cap writer) would support the change #i know this is a super long post with a lot of image text -- if someone wrote Image ID text for me I'd be super grateful and i'll reblog it!#embroidery art #textile arts #embroidery #needlework #needlecraft #comics #mixed media #my work #also just let it be known that the first thing steve rogers says when he wakes up is:#'all right nazis! what have you done with Bucky?!'#(the Bucky in the issue is a fake too)#(the real Bucky will still be dead for another 20 years :(((((( )

Random question, what’s the likeliness KOSA will be added to the faa bill?

Hard to say personally. On one hand, they said before that they dont want the faa to be treated like a christmas tree, where any lawmaker can try to attach a law onto it in order to pass. Also there's word that the version of KOSA thats attempting to get attached to the faa is not harmonised with the version that was discussed in the house, so there could be some issue there.

On the other hand, the chances of it getting attached is more than 0%, so you should probably call your government reps and spread awareness when you can.

My favorite part of being a Splatoon fan is taking the developer's note of "We left some things empty/vague so the player can fill in the blanks!" and running one million miles with it

#nocturnal murmur #splat devs: we want our players to have some freedom to make their own stuff #me casually sittin here with stories of war. chaos entities. funky magic powers. alternate worlds. vengeful spirits #and lots and lots of [EMOTIONALDAMAGE.MP4]#my god if I ever somehow find myself with the power to bring these stories to life through games or artwork #THERE WILL BE NO STOPPING ME #But for now I must harness my powers of a writer #splatoon

#2: For the Children in the Incubators- The Babies of Al-Shifa Hospital

You came too early in this world to survive on your own

Just in time to experience war

Too late to stop it-

The power cords unplugged, oxygen cut.

As I watch my son grow

I think of the milestones you will never reach-

A subtle smile at 6 weeks,

Soon after, shining brightly for your mother

Holding your head up at 4 months

Ready to take in the curious sites of the world

Crawling at 7 months

Finally able to move on your own without anyone holding on to you

First steps at 12 months,

At last your feet touch the ground

As you run in the gardens of heaven,

I hope his feet touch the land yours never did–

The land of our ancestors.

Free.

I 100% get it, I had started writing a script for a comic (developed off of old fanfiction that I revamped then revamped again in the DC universe) and immediately got Really Defensive because if I were to pitch it to DC and it got picked up that's just There now for Editorial and other writers to fuck with because they're a product of their own story and I feel would get turned into this certain flanderized (or worse since these characters are not White) over time. It hasn't gotten far/probably wouldn't have but I do think if I go forward it's gonna be indie route because I think once the character's story is through it needs to be left where it ended.

The defensiveness really blindsides you its wild!

tbh I think everybody who reads comics knows of at least one run that completely ruins a character, or a famously bad editorial decision or retcon that has negative consequences on canon for decades. The idea of that happening to your story or your characters is a genuine shot of anxiety that can really take the wind out of a writers sails.

I think about the Mark Waid interview where he talks about Flash: Fastest Man Alive and what they did to Bart's character, and how he openly said he'd rather Bart be dead than misunderstood/mishandled. Which is probably a lot of writers' sentiments about the characters' they created decades ago turning into something unrecognizable before their eyes.

But it's also an unavoidable reality of writing comics in an interconnected universe manned by corporate interests. It feels like if you want to commit to writing the characters you grew up loving or create new characters for that existing universe, there's some level of letting go that needs to be done. which is why i think despite not necessarily being as financially successful/stable or mainstream, the indie comics scene is still thriving with cool stories and amazing writers.

#asks #anonymous #there's a lot to be said about creative freedom and who gets to have it #on the outside looking in. it kinda feels like you only get free reign if you're already an established and successful writer #which on the one hand makes a certain amount of sense because yknow u want a guarantee of quality and new writers are a much bigger risk #but also so many of the characters i love like bart and thad and the young justice crew etc #only exist as they do because the writers and their stories were given room to breathe
