i've really had xina and miguel's dynamic under a microscope lately; right now my object of scrutiny is xina's use of "kevorkian" in issue #26. it's a quick, tongue-in-cheek comment about miguel's suicidality; kevorkian, at the time of publication, was routinely making headlines for his stance taken and assistance in physician-assisted suicides.

we know early on that xina is, as miguel describes, a "twencen freak," which manifests the most prominently via a love for old pop culture, but it doesn't stop there. she notably talks about alchemax's habit of erasing history, has a lifelike version of a old political figure in her home, and, in this case, brings up a name that's big in bioethics debates.

importantly, she says it very offhandedly, implying that she and miguel have had these discussions before—and i doubt the state is particularly eager to bring up any talk of ethics to their scientists-in-training.

my take on miguel sinking deeper into alchemax's agenda is that while he really doesn't care for the institution itself, he's mistakenly convinced himself that he's chosen the most politically neutral option possible. science is anything but apolitical; it is deeply, irretrievably steeped in concerns about morality. at the time miguel and xina were drifting apart, this wasn't something he wanted to mull over. (after all, once he realizes he's an accessory to state-sanctioned oppression, he wants nothing more than his life to end.)

xina is smart, yes—and i think, knowledgeable, specifically, in ways that directly challenged the delicate mental gymnasium that miguel had started to build for himself. it's not just that xina being more intelligent became a problem. she was also probably (and rightfully) challenging the value of his work, the completeness of his knowledge, and becoming a huge source of cognitive dissonance.

he's the geneticist, but xina, who specializes in an entirely different field, was engaging him in talks about the ethical implications of the work he was doing. trying to get him to think for himself, appealing to the good person she sincerely believes exists in this strange new version of her friend.

#xina kwan #she is SO cool have i mentioned. she is SO goddamn cool #miguel o'hara #xinamiguel #marvel comic blogging #i think there are so so many worldbuilding opportunities also re: exploring the way science and research itself is conducted #in an authoritarian state where personal rights and freedoms are heavily restricted #how does medical consent work? how does sample collection work? what are human trials like? #if we're taking the principle of scifi being descriptive vs predictive and looking back at our own history: wow! that's really bad. #anyway if anyone read all that. thanks. lol

if they wouldnt make out over the bloody corspe of someone they just killed whats even the point

#this is literally every couple i like im incredibly predictable #nyxtalks #angela #ofmd s2 spoilers #in tags (for the blacklists) #heres the propaganda: #fucked up that we got an edizzy scene w bloody hands #but it wasnt them covered in the blood of a raid getting blood everywhere as they grab desperately at each other #to me they wouldnt even wait for the battle to be over if there was a close call they would be going at it with the canons still going off #something something canons as a metaphor i guess #incredibly fucked up anne + mary didnt even get to kiss. they would absolutely do this its foreplay for them #(also just the stabbing of each other) u cant convinve me they wouldnt bang literally in the middle of that fire #also fucked up red/blue never got to meet in text and I KNOW thats part of the narrative. its a love story told though letters and #meeting defeats the point but god those girls were gonna be completely insane when they met i mean. stabbing ceaser for fun is canon #they are gonna go off fighting on their own side and be SO in love about it while they murder #serangela canonically make out post battle several times. also mid battle. they would do this so hard. gorgeous. #marvel put them back together challenge. marvel let their comics be more bloody challenge. #the only ones this wouldnt be is loki/sigyn i mean. idk theyre soft in a way the other girls arent #they would get bloody but their vibe is more: tenderly wiping the blood off your lovers cheek; yknow?

My predictions for Beyond the spider - verse that nobody asked for ( it's a serious hyper fixation send help).

• So i don't have access to the comics ( PLS PLS PLS WHERE CAN I READ THEM FOR FREE UNTIL I CAN). But it's confirmed that prowler miles isn't a 'bad guy'. He's a vigilante (robin hood type shit).

• I have a really strong hunch that someone is going to die☹️. Idk i just feel like it's going to happen.

- it might be like a canon event for one of the spider people

- or they pull a nwh where they make it look like miles' dad is gonna die but his mom dies instead they better not.

- OR, i saw this comment once and someone said maybe gwen or gayatri ( pavs' love interest) might do the classic falling off a tall building. Buttttt they get saved, maybe by a spider woman to yk "break the cycle" or smth.

- Miguel might die too😋

• Speaking of Miguel i feel like it might be revealed that he wasn't 100 percent right. Yes his whole concept of the canon events aren't wrong but some things don't add up.

• Think about peter. B. Mayday is technically an anomaly because peter only had her because of miles who is the original anomaly. Also, Peter getting back with Mj at the end of Itsv was NOT supposed to happen. Miles contributed to that too.

• Based on what Miguel preaches there should have been some disturbance? Or his universe should like be crumbling idk?. But i feel like Captain booty cheeks is hiding something🧐.

What are your sexuality headcanons for all your superhero faves?

Oh my god do you know how many superhero favs I have

The OG, first in my heart, first in my tags, Buffy Summers: bisexual. End of story thank you

Willow Rosenberg is also bisexual tho whether she's a superhero I guess is more up to debate. One of the biggest cases of bisexual erasure in the history of television, in this essay I will

Actually warning you most of these are going to be bisexual

Peter Parker? Bisexual. Literally always. There has never been a straight Peter Parker the media is lying to you

Mary Jane Watson? Bisexual

Tim Drake? Bisexual (obviously as this is canon but it needs to be stated)

Matt Murdock? Bisexual

As are all his friends so Elektra, Foggy, Karen, etc, all bisexual

(I am working off the show for daredevil characters I'll get to the comics I swear I promise!!! I've read two whole issues that's progress right)

Gwen Stacy, in any and all iterations? Bisexual. ESPECIALLY Spider-Gwen/Ghost Spider but also 616 and 617 and tasm!Gwen

Emjay I believe is canonically a lesbian but it might be up to audience interpretation. Either way I can also see her as bisexual

Dick Grayson is bisexual, obviously

Roy Harper is also bisexual

Kory is bisexual

Actually there has yet to be a teen titans member who isn't bisexual

Except for Bart who's gray ace biromantic

Kon is bisexual, obviously, following this path

So is Cassie

(I've been reliably secondhand headcanoned that Cissie's a lesbian but a. she wasn't a teen titan b. I've read very little YJ)

Deadpool is omni or pan! That's different!

We've gone over this before and we'll go over it again: Jason Todd is aroace, maybe demi aroace. Maybe even demi aroace and gay

Murderdock is gay

Clark Kent is heterosexual, actually. He's biromantic tho

More importantly he's lois-sexual

Lois is bisexual tho

Smallville!Oliver Queen specifically is also bisexual because a. I love him and this is the highest honor I can bestow upon him and b. He like everyone else on that goddamn show was also in love with Clark

Actually now I need a Smallville!Clark/Lois/Oliver threesome fic. Something to think about

Magneto is, and I know this is going to be a big surprise to all of you, bisexual

Stephanie Brown is bisexual

Cassandra Cain is an ace lesbian

Diana (WW) is another canonically bisexual character but everyone's too big of a coward to write her a female love interest. It's worse than Wade he just got his first non binary love interest and he's only been around for 32 years

Idk I'm probably leaving someone important off just assume they're bisexual unless they're canonically queer in which case I respect that. Unless it was bisexual erasure in which case they're once again bisexual

#I'm very predictable #now GENDER headcanons. that's a whole nother thing #I can't even begin to tag this #btvs #spiderman #batfam #dd tv #spider gwen #dp #deadpool #superfam #smallville #magneto #dc #marvel comics #marvel #anonymous #ask #gail speaks

The Amazing Spider-Man (1963) Annual #12

#this is a retelling of a story from 1973 which makes it a fun throwback for me #it’s one that’s really stuck with me #just cause of how funny it is that the Hulk gets upset with the dam for still leaking even though he told it to stop #and that he hits the dam in anger immediately making the problem much worse #I mentioned it last week when I read that story where he told fire to stop coming near him and it predictably didn’t listen #but I also really enjoy the funny interactions between Peter and the Hulk here #and appreciate Peter sympathizing with the Hulk at the end there #marvel #bruce banner #peter parker #my posts #comic panels

ghost boys I can think of off the top of my head, feel free to recommend me more ghost boys:

Cole (Dragon Age: Inquisition)

Noah (Raven Boys)

Yukine (Noragami)

Nico di Angelo (Percy Jackson series) (honorary ghost)

Nageki (Hatoful Boyfriend) (honorary boy)

#im absolutely forgetting someone arent i who am i forgetting #im trying to draw a line between some of my favorite characters #and i think my 'robot' archetype is leaning towards the 'ghost boy' side of the spectrum of faves #because like... victor from marvel's Runaways comics ISNT a ghost boy but theres definitely a clear connection? he COULD be? #so then i think about like BMO? further away but still definitely connected to the concept? #im going to mathematically predict my ultimate favorite character type

Second commission for @ mrdavid93 on DA, of Demon/Underswap AU Sans this time! And he's just a smooth looking as in TMS haha

You know the drill, here come some headcanons ;)

-The clever Lord of Pride! (AU). -Also known as the Morning Star Demon, he's a bit of a wild card among demons. -Mischievous and cheerful, he operates mainly in Snowdin and Waterfall, where he offers predictions and wishes in exchange for valuable goods, ranging from souls to beloved memories or mere flowers. Only he decides the price to pay, and it's unknown if his mood has to do with it -The constellation around his head is that of Perseus, his favorite star being Algol (Demon Star), which he doesn't allow anyone to touch. -His scarf is made of clouds. Extensible, he sometimes uses it to rest or make spectacular entrances. His top is made of feathers that can change into sharp blades that he controls as he pleases. -It's said that every time a star dies in the mortal realm, he's the one who retrieves it and places it in the sky of Waterfall. -He has a great fascination for Humans, whose dreams and futile ambitions he marvels at. No doubt he'd be intrigued by the fallen human whose fate and motives remain uncertain. -To be his friend and to defeat him, you'll have to give it your all.

Boxing Match

Tw:fighting (professional), language,

JJ (ksi) x Y/n (afab)

The parts of the documentary will be in bold & italic.

–—–

*small comical flashback*

Watching the Astrid Wett vs Alexia Grace weigh in, you watched as the face off began. Seeing your loving ‘boyfriend’ well… he’s your fiancé but right know your keeping it between your family and friends. You both wanted to wait to announce the news on your anniversary which wasn’t far away.

As you watched the face off, you heard Astrid say “if I had a boyfriend, would I do this?!” She went to kiss JJ. Your stomach drop till you saw JJ lean back dosing the kiss. Your boxing instincts kicked in. You wanted to fight her… (didn’t exactly go like that but it’s just a short intro 😂)

–—–

It was the day, the day Astro’s was gonna get knocked out by you. You had trained very hard, even JJ was coaching you on the sidelines.

It was currently the morning, you decided to make a small documentary on this event.

You confidently said “Today, I’m going to knock out Astrid Wett.” JJ spoke “Today Y/n is gonna knock out Astrid.”

You were currently sat at your dinning table with JJ sat next to you. He asked “ready for the big day, babe?” You smiled “yeah,” JJ placed a hand on yours and said “your gonna do amazing, I can tell, I mean you worked so fucking hard.” You both chuckled “yeah, we’ll have to see!”

You said “I have tried day and night, I know I’m capable of everything if I put my mind to it.” Tobi spoke “I’ve never seen Y/n work so hard. She is like a female JJ, when she’s dedicated she goes all out.” Simon spoke “Y/n is an amazing boxer, god I remember when we filmed a YouTube video for her channel where me and the boys would train like Y/n. And all I have to say is she is very very confident.” (Clip) you are throwing punches at your coach as he wears the body punching bag. You had the look that could kill, you were lethal.

You changed into your gym clothes, you called “JJ, are we going over the studio?” From the bathroom he shouted back “yeah! Then we are going to your boxing gym.” You grabbed your bag and headed towards your front door. Grabbing a pair of your converse, you pulled them on and tied your laces. JJ walked over “you ready, babe?” You nodded and held his hand.

*small time skip*

You walked into the studio and saw all the joys including Logan and Mike. You smiled “hey guys, how are you all?” You were greeted by everyone. Logan spoke to the camera “I believe Y/n is capable, I mean look at her, she’s athletic, strong and smart. I believe she can win, definitely.” You are shown boxing one of your friends that too boxes.

*time skip to a the event*

“Listen, my prediction is, Astrid is getting knocked out second round if not third”You smirked. The video shows different clips of all your friends predicting your boxing match; most of them saying your knocking out Astrid.

You were currently changing into your outfit. It was all black silk with rhinestones on the seams and white rhinestone eyes on the hood making it look like venom. Walking out of the bathroom, you walked out into your changing room. You heard JJ say “my, my babe, you look badass!” You smiled and gave him a hug. You asked “does it look right?” He nodded “definitely, let’s take a few pictures.” That is exactly what you did.

You walked over to the camera and spoke “this is my official outfit, it’s venom theme cause he’s one of my favourite marvel characters.” JJ walked over “it’s a badass outfit, one of the best ones I’ve seen.” You put an arm around JJ and you said “it was one of my favourite sketches we made.”

You did some quick shadow boxing and some quick sparring with your coach. Once you were done you looked over to Jj as he waved you over. He placed his hands on either side of your face, he started his small speech “listen, your gonna do great, I know it. But you have this one in the bag. Do what you’ve been working for, you and I both have seen you go a long way and you are going to destroy her ok?” You nodded then he finished “you are going to walk into that ring knowing your the winner ok, go to your mental space and get into your best version of yourself and do your all!” He said “go fuck shit up, babe!” You nodded and gave him a kiss. He said “I’ll see you out there, good luck, love.” You waved him goodbye.

You watched on the tv in your changing room, Astrid was doing her walk out. You wanted to go second knowing you’d easily change the atmosphere in the best way possible and in a way to ‘intimidate’ Astrid.

You got ready, shaking of any possible nerves you made have on you. You looked at your coach as he said “get her for me.” You nodded, you grew up with your coach he was your dads best friend. So it meant a lot to you both this match, just like any other.

You looked at the grown as you started walking out. You stopped when you got the the beginning of the stage. Lights dimmed then started flashing, the lights beamed to the beats of your walk out song ‘you should see me in the crown’ by Billie Eilish.

As you walked out the kept you head down, making sure you seemed an almost mysterious person to the audience. You got into the ring, becoming that person you imagined yourself as. You finally looked up, making full eye contact with Astrid; pointing at her. You smirked, placing your right arm in the air hearing everyone cheering you on. The song finished, so your coach took off your boxing jacket off (I don’t know the proper name😂).

You jumped a few times, you walked towards the middle meeting Astrid there. You heard the referee shear a few words, you looked at Astrid with killers eyes. You touched gloves and went your corner. Your coach shouted “go get her!” You nodded and once you heard the bell ring, it was show time.

You threw a few punches, dodged a few punches and continued to do so. You were starting to see Astrid’s weaker spots so you threw a few punches in those areas. You heard the first bell ring, going to your corner you were getting some water and some medical attention before the next round. You heard JJ shout so you looked over and saw him say “time to knock her out! Get her for me!” You nodded. Getting up, you heard the ring of the bell.

Walking over, you started throwing punches. See her arms more dropped you went in for the kill. You threw a fake jab with your right then a real one with your left, a lower hook with your left then a strong right over hook to her temple. Watching her drop to the ground, then the ref ran over and waved his arms in the air. This is it, you won. Running over to your corner you jumped up onto the ropes. You punched the air, excited you did what you do best. You saw JJ run over and jumped up to get to you. You were pulled into a hug he shouted “Well done! You did it!” You smiled widely as you heard the stadium cheering and screaming your name. Your coach took off your gloves and pointed towards the referee. All your hard work paid off.

You walked back over to the middle, seeing Astrid back up and standing next to the referee which who was holding her wrist. He then grabbed onto your wrist, standing there. Moments later, you heard “and the winner is…Y/n ‘the reaper’ Y/l/n!”

You jumped up and down happy you have won, you looked over to Astrid and shook her hand. You said “well done,“ She nodded and said “congratulations.”

You ran over to JJ which pick you up and hugged you tightly.

You were back in your changing room, you met up with all the boys and the girls. You heard them all cheer as you hug everyone. You thanked your coach for helping you make this possible. You looked at JJ which held your face. He pulled you in and gave you the most passionate and loving kiss ever. He placed his forehead against yours and spoke “I’m so proud of you, baby.”

[shuttershocky]

Do you have a dislike for media universes that "rewards" people for watching/reading all of it in general?

Or do you think there is one that executes that idea well?

I'm answering this 5 months late, but I'm pretty sure I still remember this ask being prompted by a post making fun of the MCU.

Do I dislike story universes that reward people for reading all of it? Not at all. I mean, I'm a fan of both Middle Earth and Star Wars, I fucking love big, big universes with plenty of stories in them. When they intersect in some small way it's a delight to me, I love those little personal winks from the author for having read their other works or recognizing the most obscure names only a nerd would know.

However, there's a difference between a little reference in a story meant for people who can connect the dots, and making something almost required reading for your enjoyment. It's the difference between an acknowledgement from the creators that you liked the setting enough to come back for a new yet familiar ride, and a company realizing they've found their cash cow and can't wait to milk it for all its got until it's dead.

And dead the cash cow will be, eventually. It's been said before that the reason why the Big Two of western comics have ceded more and more ground to manga over the years is that Spider-Man has 10 different starting points while Naruto starts with Volume#1. That's not just a funny joke. Onboarding new readers has genuinely been Marvel and DC's problem for decades, which is why it was both incredibly predictable yet shocking all the same that this is what the MCU turned itself into.

Sure, early on you could ask the audience to watch a couple movies before the big Avengers crossover, but now they've got all these TV shows on top of the movies that you have to watch in order to "catch up", and it's not even about the cool characters anymore. More and more of their fanbase is going to stop caring once the barrier of entry gets too high, and it's ridiculous to me that Marvel went this road with their movies when they know this is what happened to their comics first.

I mean, are you serious, their next big bad is Kang? I am not watching several TV shows and an Ant-Man movie that's somehow worse than the second one all to see how the currently left Avengers meet goddamn Kang the Conqueror. He's in both the TV shows and the movies, which means they're somehow giving Kang more buildup screentime than Thanos. Why? Either I've been extremely out of touch with Marvel comics or the MCU picked a wild choice to headline their next billion dollar franchise when Doctor Doom is actually available to them now and barely needs an introduction.

Sorry, got lost for a bit. Back on topic, yeah I know I know, all art right now exists under capitalism which means every setting that becomes a wider story universe is an author trying to milk their existing fanbase. Whenever a creator makes a thing that I like, and then announces they have a new thing set in the same setting as their first thing but isn't a direct sequel so they can keep gaining a new audience while keeping their existing one, I know I'm being suckered in.

Just, don't make it so blatant. And don't make it so hard. I am the exact target audience for these shenanigans and even I'm starting to feel like it's homework because it's all fucking required now.

If I, a lifelong Star Wars fan, want to watch the newest Star Wars thing, I have to see a hundred hours of other Star Wars media first. If I want to watch The Mandalorian Season 3, I can't just have seen Season 1 and 2, oh no, I have to also see The Book of Boba Fett too, because halfway through that show became The Mandalorian Season 2.5. Well I did see Boba Fett, and the combination of my dislike for turning it into required homework AND the show itself just being kinda dogshit meant I never touched season 3 of the Mandalorian. That show used to be so great because it wasn't tied down to any existing story arcs or characters, so it stood on its own and made for an amazing watch no matter how much Star Wars you've actually seen. And then it succeeded and so had to become the new spine for the entirety of Disney Star Wars afterward. Fuck. Now if I want to watch their latest show Ahsoka, I have to have seen the Clone Wars animated series AND Rebels, because the Rebels cast are in it too! I mean I did see Clone Wars and Rebels, but that still sucks!

That makes me worried now! Andor was also really fucking good and it stood on its own so hard you didn't even need to see Rogue One, the movie that introduced Cassian Andor in the first place. But now that season 1 was a success and everyone sang its praises, it certainly means season 2 is suddenly going to get real cramped with Ahsoka and Luke Skywalker and whatever guys are currently alive in its timeframe. Shit, they're probably gonna add Cal Kestis in season 2 of Andor. The Respawn Star Wars games are still doing their own thing which means it's time to connect to something else.

I hate what all this has become. It was fun to read the Silmarillion and see what kind of fuckery one family of elves got up to that eventually turned Sauron from minion to big evil eye parked next to evil mountain, but you didn't need to read all that before The Lord of the Rings. LOTR didn't assume you knew anything at all (and oh boy did Tolkien never miss an opportunity to explain shit).

Let me repeat. I am the target audience. I live for the ridiculously nerdy habit of reading things set in the same universe as other things and connecting all the dots. If /I/ feel like it's become homework, I can't imagine what the average person thinks of all this. Make it stop. Stop running everything I once loved into the ground in the name of endless profit. Star Wars was already doing this to itself before the Disney acquisition and yet it didn't feel this bad.

#I would take hundreds of disconnected and mediocre Star Wars comics and books made in the Legends era #Over what's happening to it now
