MINI RANT INCOMING ; how . . . how the f*** do some folks in the tags have the impression that the s1 scene of Steve smashing Jonathan’s camera could have anything to do with him , Carol , and Tommy wanting to “humiliate Nancy” ? like . . . what ???

I’m . . . hmmm . . . alright .

I know that critical thinking isn’t one of the strong suits of the ST fandom as a whole ( and yes , this sounds mean , that is on purpose , btw ) but in what world can anybody believe that primarily Steve’s actions , but also Tommy being his usual helpful omega male self , were not even a little justified and - more importantly - largely served to PROTECT Nancy . Steve is still actively dating Nancy at this point , why the hell would he want to humiliate his girlfriend ?

I’m fully aware that the Duffers love to use certain means to build up a bias for or against characters . when we first meet Jonathan , he’s the caring , gentle older brother who’s a bit weird ( relatable for most of us ) and quiet and a touch shy ; a character one can easily sympathize with . at the same time , the first impression we get of Carol and Tommy , is via Barb , another sympathetic and lovable character , who personally doesn’t like the two and thus only hands us the perspective that they both , for no reason she ever actually mentions , are horrible people . we go into the first actual scenes with them somewhere around ep 2 , already believing they are awful and neither ever really gets a chance from the fandom after that point . now by the time Steve smashes Jonathan’s camera , people surely will have an idea of who the characters are ( and that Jonathan indeed is a sweet kid , but a little weird , while we simultaneously are to believe that Tommy and Carol are awful ) so I understand a certain wish for specific perspectives and outcomes , but come on !

hate on the alleged “ bullies ” as much as you want ( funnily enough neither of them are ever actually shown to bully anybody - I can write a whole other rant / hc on Tommy’s graffiti on the theatre , but oh well ) the one clearly in the wrong there is Jonathan and Steve & co have every right to be pissed at him . Steve most likely wants to save Nancy’s reputation by making sure that there are no photos of her in her underwear , first of all . besides that obvious point , what happened here is a clear violation of the privacy of all four of them . Steve , Tommy , and Carol seem a little blasé about the fact , sure , but consider that they are supposed to be the “ cool kids ” . all three of them would die without their carefully crafted reputations , so what do you do ? you keep discomfort under wraps - which , however , doesn’t mean they didn’t feel any . imagine you found out someone was hiding in the bushes by your house and took pictures of you without your consent or knowledge . . .

truth be told , for people who , allegedly , are so goddamn awful , their handling of the situation is remarkably benign . smashing Jonathan’s camera , pushing him around a little , ripping the pictures apart . . . it’s uncomfortable , but not horrible . we never see any further consequences for Jonathan , or , in fact , Nancy later on . neither Carol , nor Tommy , seemingly tell anyone that Jonathan , essentially , is a stalker . neither tell anyone that pictures of Nancy in her underwear exist(ed) . they had the chance to ruin both of them in the wake of this and didn’t . now before anyone screeches , this is not me saying meeting the basic , lowest standard of human etiquette automatically makes you a good person . . . this is me saying these two aren’t the irredeemable assholes the fandom likes to believe , and that some of the things they do , even though leaning on the mean scale , are justified .

#study. [ headcanon ]#not me ranting away at work.#dear santa.#for christmas this year.#I wish for some people to use their brains for a change.#do I really have to write a post at some point.#on why carol and tommy aren't bad people.#and actually are the kind of friends you WANT in your corner.#do I?#really?

A few of the more creative spellings of Christmas I’ve come across while looking for Dear Santa letters in old newspapers this year.

Robert Moss was diagnosed with polio at the age of six, the year before he wrote this letter. He would spend the next nine years of his childhood in and out of hospitals.

He made a full recovery and was a decorated athlete in High School and College, as well as an Eagle Scout. After college, he became a junior high science teacher, while also coaching football, basketball and track.

During summer break from teaching in 1965, his childhood struggle with polio inspired him to spend the summer working at the Louisiana Lions Camp for Crippled Children. He went back the next summer and was hired as camp director.

Robert was the Executive Director of the Lions Camp for 41 years. Over his tenure he expanded the camp to include programs for children with pulmonary disorders, muscular dystrophy, diabetes and autism.

He assisted in programs to set up similar camps in Puerto Rico and Australia, as well as a camp for children with terminal illnesses in Texas.

The Lions Camp still operates and is 100% free of charge for all attendees.

(source: The Minden Herald, December 19, 1941.)

Uno, Duo, and Trey

These are the names of Rocket's Raccoon's children. They appear in only 7 panels in 100th Anniversary Guardians of the Galaxy (a comic). This comic has no sequels, prequals, or explanation. The plot makes no sense and it ends on a cliffhanger that makes even less sense. But back to these horribly named children. Here they are:

WHY ARE THEY GREEN!?!??!

This is not explained. Neither it it explained why Rocket refuses to acknowledge them as his sons. Here are the other panels of them:

They have raccoon tails and noses; they are obviously his biological sons. Does he hate them? Who is the mom? WHY ARE THEY SO UGLY!!??!

No explanation. Ever.

These essential were scrapped and forgotten along with this comic.

This is not right.

I will not let them die.

Dear Marvel, here is my proposal:

This non-green lil fellas are the children of Rocket and Lylla. She is his girlfriend in many of the comics as opposed to a semi-motherly figure in the films. I have made them cute, relatable, fun 9-ish-year-old boys. Uno is wild and sporty and is nearly able to best his father in a race. Duo has a passion for machines and all things tech. He studies the ruined lab robots of Halfworld, trying to figure what went wrong. Trey is different. He's the black sheep. That stick in his mouth in not a cigarette, it's a lollipop. He saw Star-Lord smoking and thought it was cool, but didn't we all do that as kids? He's quiet and content, sitting in the grass watching bugs. He reminds angry, broken, stressed Rocket that it's ok. That he can enjoy the bugs too. And they do.

I want these kids back. I want to see them in new comics, in fanart, in people's hearts.

Please don't let them die.

The newsies fandoms reception to Mike Faist is so funny to me because it’s this incredibly talented guy with some major roles in his belt. Arguably the biggest one being Connor in Dear Evan Hansen which had a major impact on how we view and interpret Broadway shows today. And we’re just like

“Oh mike? Yeah we know that guy. He put his leg through a fucking chair and told people that Max’s mom brought cookie cake for everyone”

#newsies #newsies fandom #mike faist #dear evan hansen #also should mention the STAMPEDE that was caused by the cookie cake announcement #I mean he also sung Santa Fe like once #fansies
