THE SPIDER-WOMAN && THE SHROUD .

(** Fair warning, this is a bit of a long post due to pictures**) To start off, the way they first encounter each other is just so perfect ⸺ Max just flat out VULCAN NERVE PINCHES her while she's at her receptionist job. And the fact it works. It's Spider-Woman's weakness and that's simply just hilarious to me.

Then after meeting each other properly ( he breaks into her house while she's in the shower ), he stays the night on her couch. In the morning, she wakes up to find him cooking her some breakfast. . . 🥺🥺

❝ Ms. Drew ❞ just tickles me coming from him idc.

I Love The Way They FLIRT.

❝ If you're embarrassed to hold hands ⸺ ❞ actually teasing her rn. Can't believe he took her hand after using it to blast someone please.

AND IT !! WORKS !!! This is what she's thinking in that moment.

No comment really this is cute af ❤️

Read this as you will :))) U ask me, it's because he would Blush A Lil. Also I just. . . ❝ Mr. Shroud ❞ ❝ Ms. Spider ❞ 😌🖤

Literally INSISTS on taking her out for steak and wine !!! Could have suggested anything else but that's the first dinner he thinks of. ( truly tragic they didn't draw them out to dinner and there's a time skip instead 😔 ).

While they are waiting for their targets, he listens to her and tries to Ease Her Woes for over an hour. . .

❝ See you in the dark, babe. ❞ GIGGLING !!! Needs someone just as melodramatic as her.

One of those SHIELD agents, for the record, is Jerry LOL.

I MEAN COME ON.

A long time later, when Jessica basically fkin dies, she requests Magnus wipes the memories of those who knew her. They all remember her in some form, though vaguely, distantly. . . But Max just KNOWS. . .

:') 🥹

Look, I gotta include the bit below bc I love the way he gd throws himself off the roof without second thought because he sensed her ghost.

❝ anyway she was gone by the time the lovesick fool saved himself ⸺ ❞

I mean ⸺

After a hellish battle with Morgan Le Fay, he and the rest of the present Avengers are able to help save Jessica Drew's life. And there he is. . . Holding Her Hand. . .

Below is unfortunately the last time they are seen together for a looong time ( fkin 1984 to 2023 !! 😭 ). And it's just so damn adorable.

Her powers are gone at this time, they start to come back at a later date. Yet still such confidence in her !! Love him !!

Dr. Strange is watching this whole thing from afar, and the comment he makes about them, I ⸺

ME TF TOO STEPHEN !!!

The most recent time they've been together was pretty Bare Bones flirtation wise :(((( given the Dire Situation™️.

But we do have this. . .

It's just so soft. . .

#LONG POST CW #thank u for coming to my tedtalk #this is just a guide on how to flirt with jess basically #marvel give me what i want #HOOK EM UP FOR VALENTINES DAY FOR ME THANKS #what's the point of this idk #i was Feeling It i needed to Rant About He #consider it a foil to the shitty bf posts hJDGKS #speaking of i still have to finish the one for david anyway #also u ask me #max and jess have that like #cosmic spiritual link or whatever that jerry wanted so bad from her #this is going under her ch study tag #considering like i said this is indeed Flirting With Jessica 101 #( c h . s t u d y . )#( c o m i c s . )#( w i s h l i s t . )#i want a shroud so bad :((#( m a x c o l e r i d g e . )

jess being the shortstop is driving me insane. like they don’t really show it onscreen (which is a shame! but runtimes i get it) but shortstops are literally the heart of the team. they’re the ones calling out the pitch count and reminding people where the play is. more often than not they’re the cutoff from the outfield. they back up the pitcher and the third baseman AND they cover both second and third. second base is the most stolen base bc it’s the furthest from home plate and therefore the hardest to throw out, and shortstop usually covers second when a steal is being made. most right hand batters pull to left field so they tend to get the most action. due to being between second and third if there’s a double play being turned they’re usually a part of it one way or another. they get hard liners and grounders as well as the occasional easy pop-up so they’re always on their toes and usually fielding the most difficult hits

also the pitcher/shortstop dynamic is soooo important. yes pitcher/catcher dynamic we get it but most of the time pitchers are too focused on pitching to be able to field well, especially because any ball that comes their way is gonna be hot due to the fact that pitchers are the closest fielder to the batter. shortstop covers the pitcher when they don’t have time to pull out of the pitch follow-through. they charge the ball when a bunt happens bc the pitcher doesn’t have time to react quick enough. they’re the one who reminds the pitcher where they’re at in the count and encourages them. it’s easier for shortstop to get to the mound than the catcher so often shortstop is the one going to the pitcher to reassure them if they’re having a hard time. they’re the fielder for the pitcher so that the pitcher only has to focus on throwing strikes. do you get what i’m saying. jesslupe nation are you picking up what i’m putting down here. do you understand why i’m going crazy about this.

basically what i’m saying is jess being shortstop just makes sense bc she is always there looking out for everyone and backing everyone up (but especially lupe), casually covering the most ground without thought, simultaneously light on her feet and a solid brick wall as the occasion calls for, covering the hole, leading the team from behind. you can’t be a shortstop without being a team player, and you don’t have a team unless you have a strong shortstop on the diamond 🥲

#blah.txt #jess mccready #aloto #a league of their own #i just want people to call jess shortie is that too much to ask. especially one particular person. who happens to pitch. or something #i have so many feelings about the players’ positions and how they impact/influence/reflect their characters #i have to work but when i have time i have a whole essay in my head analyzing the pitchers (lupe and max) in contrast to carson as well as #talking about greta and jo as first/third besties. like y’all if you don’t know the game you have NO idea how fucking GOOD it is that #they’re first and third. like it’s the dynamics of it all #source: i’m a softball playing dyke :)

I like to think that Wally, Bart and Ace are massive sneaker heads. They aren't into the fashionable sneakers though, they like the sneakers with the 4 inch triple plated soles that got banned from sports for being too good.

Can they wear them? No, of course not. They wear super cheap sneakers and boots because they burn through shoes faster than you can blink. If they bought the super fancy banned sneakers they would shred them in seconds.

They respect them though. They admire from a distance. They know they can't touch the thing they love without destroying it.

#barry wears loafers and dress shoes #barry doesn't know what a sneaker is #or hes got those all white old man orthopedic sneakers #Jay and Max have boots. like hardcore hiking boots. ankle support and steel toes are important to them #jesse is also into sneakers but she IS into the fashionable ones. cause Jesse has style and pizzazz #Irey wears light up sneakers #dc #dc comics #the flash #kid flash #wally west #impulse #bart allen #ace west

alright, since the Remedy brainworms got me I've been replaying Control, got to the AWE expansion last night and picking up on all the echoes/foreshadowing for Alan Wake 2 is making me go utterly bonkers, but like. has anyone picked up on or talked about how in all of Alan's Hotline messages to Jesse, when he's writing about her POV, he exclusively calls her 'Faden'

like, maybe it didn't poke my brain the first time I played it since he does the same thing when talking about Hartman, but coming from AW2 it's pretty jarring as a stylistic oddity...almost like there's a reason (in-universe and/or out-of-universe) that he doesn't call her 'Jesse'...almost like there's only one Faden in his story...

and given how in AW2 we also get some (quasi-) clarification regarding the limits of Alan's ability to "make stuff up" vs alter and rewrite "real-world" events that he sees in clairvoyant flashes...given the Night Springs screenplay pages you can find in AWE that parallels the FBC and the events of Control (i.e. a Director and a Scientist opening a portal to another dimension, finding an eldritch Entity, the Director trying to take its power for himself and then getting taken over before shooting himself)...given how literally all of the "dreams" Dylan tells Jesse about are descriptions/viewings of stuff that takes place on one level of reality or another ("I was the director and you were an intern"; "we were in a game, and it was a fucking boring game but you couldn't stop playing it"; Mister Door, and "a world with a writer writing about a cop, and another world where the writer was real"; a "musical" about Jesse), except, seemingly, the dream about "Jesse Dylan Faden"...

guys. are you picking up what I'm putting down here. guys. GUYS

#alan wake #control #control remedy #remedy entertainment #remedyverse #anyway sorry but i for real am a jesse dylan faden truther now and forever #not in the sense that dylan isn't 'real' or isn't a person in his own right by now #but look. if you were a writer and trying to work out the inciting plot/backstory for your main character #who needs to have a driving reason to go back to the government agency that nearly captured her for study #or alternatively: you need a reason that said government agency is able to learn about the inciting backstory event from a direct witness #without actually successfully capturing the main character in question (since it's important that she instead comes to them when she does)#it would solve a lot of your problems if you just...split your protagonist into two different people. right?#like. are you seeing the vision!!!#also i gotta say. the Gender Of It All (TM) compels me #granted i doubt remedy will go in that direction -- and even if they do i think it'd be highly ambiguous/questionable at best #kind of like how max payne 1/2 raise the vague possibility that max went insane on valkyr and he's the one that killed his family #which is largely shot down but in a way that still leaves the answer at least a little bit shrouded in ambiguity #but you know. a girl can dream

Wally, sipping on hot chocolate: so... Where are you going?

Barry, doing the same: yeah.

Iris: I'm going to talk with our beloved Wally's parents.

Wally ii: what's up with the knife?

Iris: a gift from the Wayne's.

Avery: why are you taking it?

Bart: ain't Rudy your brother?

Iris: don't worry about it, and no Bart, honey, he's not my brother.

Don: ... Ain't he in prison?

Dawn: and we have a restraining order on him.

Thad: we're not going to be able to stop you, are we...

Iris: he's out, I don't care we have a restraining order on him, and no. The Wayne's bugged his house and he thinks he's entitled to see my first child and have him take care of him now because he's working for the Wayne's, so we're going to talk.

Jay: get it girl.

Them: don't encourage her.

Jesse: I'm getting an alibi then...

Iris: actually, Bruce is kind to pay off the police for me.

Wally: Dick actually use his blackmail on him finally, so scary...

Max: finally? What do you mean finally??

Wally and Barry: don't worry about it.

Iris: well, I'm off. Dinner is on the stove.

Wally ii: welp... You think we're getting funeral potatoes then?

Leo: I want funeral lasagna, also can we drink?

Wally: we're getting nothing from anyone but grandpa, he ain't got no friends.

Leo: lame, also Bar-Bar,,, you're not going to stop her?

Barry: it's Rudy, I'm not saving that man. We're getting pizza too btw.

Walt is the least sympathetic of all the BrBa criminals/anti-heroes/rogues gallery because he's the one (major) character who doesn't have a clear and unambiguous "reason" for being the way he is. There is an unflinching refusal to give this character a "Freudian excuse" for his behavior and I just...love that.

It is not only an extremely brave choice from a writing perspective for your protagonist (and really only works because Bryan Cranston can somehow wring sympathy out of this dry husk amoral sponge of a person), but also makes him the most realistic portrayal of what evil really is. Walt feels the least like a television version of how a person becomes bad because there's not one reason it happens, and there's an aspect to his moral descent that's both mundane and mysterious—his motives unfold gradually, they change, and the show never really seeks to outright explain why it happened beyond the obvious inciting event—his cancer diagnosis. Was there something in him always not quite "right" or was there just a unique confluence of circumstances that caused Walt's complete moral transformation? In his own words—he liked it, he was good at it, and it made him feel alive. Maybe it is just as simple as that. Evil is actually a lot less interesting than people give it credit for.

There are so many things about his personality that are just never explained but must have some explanation, surely. For example: Walt's hang-ups about money—his obsession with being the one who provides it for his family and his reactive disdain for charity (even Saul points out there's clearly deep-seated issues there lol.) You could very easily see a different writer backstory dumping a lot of explicit childhood trauma with Walt and his single mother being poor and him getting bullied and this being where his weird inferiority complex about hand-outs come from. Instead this is just a huge part of his personality that has no obvious singular explanation. Why is he like this? Who the hell knows!

Which I personally really like, because regardless of whether that happened to him as a kid (I have to assume something like that was going on with child Walt because he has really specific neurosis) it has no ultimate bearing on the morality of his actions. There is no excuse for what he does, ultimately, and I just love that the show gives you very few reasons to feel sorry for him, at least as far as his backstory goes. Even the merits of his Gretchen and Elliot resentment is called into question (though left vague.)

In a weird, counter-intuitive way this lack of explanation for his behavior makes me feel more sympathy for him (again, Cranston acting magic pulling its weight.) But it's such a subjective thing with him. How you feel about Walt hinges on the performance, the character's actions in the story itself and what the viewer chooses to extrapolate from both. I can't blame people for thinking he's just kind of a low-empathy asshole, though I personally find that explanation reductive and less interesting, I cannot argue with it as a valid read. He is very, very hate-able for so many reasons. There's something refreshing about how unapologetic the writing for him is in that way.

#breaking bad #walter white #breaking bad meta #brba #i'm not saying there aren't plenty of reasons to hate walt #i'm just saying the show gives you way fewer reasons to like him #than all the other characters who are at least as terrible people #gus jimmy mike all have very clear backstory motivations that give them built in sympathy #walt is just one milquetoast morass of a mystery #i just...like it idk #i think the ambiguity makes him feel more like a real person #oddly i think the closest to walt in this respect is jesse #why jesse is attracted to crime is never really explained parents being slightly uptight upper middle class people aside #actually the more i think about it walt's built in sympathy comes from how the other characters treat him (particularly his family)#i always think about skyler fussing over his blackeye #it's weirdly cute idk #i realize ego is also less sympathetic than revenge or guilt but i also...think it's more believable as a driving force for wickedness #i think what keeps me from totally investing in gus is i just don't really buy max's death as his soul driving reason for super villainy

REN!! I am backflipping into your inbox!

You may have answered this before so please forgive me if you have, but do you have heights for the core six ninja? Presently and for the future?

Ik you've done it for the OCs but I can't see if you've done the core six ;×;

HI FINN!!! Good too see ya ^-^)/

I have answered this a couple times BUT I am a wishy-washy person and enjoy changing my mind at a moment's notice and as the plot demands. So, I don't mind reclarifying!

For now, I got the Main Group's Maximum Heights, and People Who Notably WILL Have a Height Change Eventually. People who aren't noted to have a height change are probably already at maximum height (Kai is a potential exception, and this does not apply to Pixal who fluctuates)

Like I said, not fully committed to any of this yet (except Jay cuz I need this for a very specific moment in Skybound), but that is currently what I have decided for now ahaha

#who knew HEIGHTS of all things would get me tripped up jfdsfdsa #until people started asking i was just like 'yeah he's taller than her but she's taller than them' etc #and then y'all made me get specific hfdgsfa #info tag #also might bump jesse's max to 5'8. but he wears heels a lot so maybe i dont have to snksnksnk #ugh see i still can't decide even in tags help

i think the thing about the ongoing greta/carson conflict is that greta expected her to understand the rules. in her head, she imagines carson's known she's been into women for a while (because that's greta's own experience) and to have an instinctive understanding of the sorts of self-preservation and restrictions and hoops she puts herself through in order to accommodate her sexuality without appearing too threatening or stand out socially. she expected this because she and jo have had a long-standing knowledge of who they are and even though jo is more visibly butch than greta, they've both been doing this long enough to know where the line is. but greta just like, can't wrap her brain around it taking carson this long to even figure out she liked women, and so to have zero understanding of the line or where it is or what it's there for. to carson it looks like mixed signals and coquettishness (and i think it partly is) but to greta it's just. what we do to stay safe and have fun at the same time. what we all do, right?

#a league of their own #like it's not that played out 'there are two queer experiences: new and ashamed and out experienced and impatient'#it's the opposite almost. and then there are many other experiences #max's 'i know what i want and what i am but im actually somewhat sheltered and also i have never suffered fools'#jess's 'i've had the relative luxury of self-expression for a long time and femininity is being forced upon me'#lupe's matter-of-fact adaptability somehow coexisting with her matter-of-fact butchness #jo's just-barely-toeing-the-line-and-therefore-all-the-more-cautious-and-nervous-ness #bert and gracie's domesticity #it's rare to see such a wealth of experiences many of which i can actually relate to

Shout out to all the fantastic butch and masc representation in A league of Their Own!!

It's been deeply needed and is appreciated. Honestly, didn't know how badly I needed to see rep like this on a big production show. Feels kinda like relief to be seen.

#it's hard to explain #so many shows are femme4femme #and while it's vary degrees and types of femme it's still femme #max's struggles with her mom how she wants to present and what she wants to do with her life #navigating her new relationship with her Uncle Bertie #it was all very impactful too me #lupe and Jess looking out one another #and basically parenting Esti #jess absolutely refusing to wear dresses #them all being complex nuanced characters #who aren't written filled to the brim with toxic masculinity #delicious #I'll have seconds thirds fourths and fifths #thank you very much #a league of their own series #a league of their own #butch lesbian #masc lesbian #butch representation #more butch rep like this too #chante adams #max chapman #roberta colindrez #lupe garcia #jess mccready #kelly mccormack #wlw #lesbian #black lesbian #LGBTQ

Update: these edibles still ain’t shit

[quest completed failed (?)]

#tw drugs #jess rambles #I started with a bit under 5 mg #fuzzy/heavy feeling for max 20 min #waited for 3 hours because surely that couldn’t have been it #right??#tried again with a 9.25 mg gummy #same short fuzzy feeling #now back to normal #it literally just felt like what my body does when overstimulated/shutting down #but a tiny bit more intense #are you kidding me man I can literally just be autistic for free #hm #I just need to keep saying these edibles ain’t shit so the universe will prove me wrong #I will keep you updated on my experiment #need to play the stoner’s version of Bloody Mary #apparently from what I’ve seen online this is where you can all point and laugh at OP (me) for being impatient and eating too much #have fun #hopefully I will too

also it's so funny the rory/dean/tristan dynamic is so incredibly similar to the rory/dean/jess dynamic like the second tristan has left the show, jess is the one getting on dean's nerves and messing with their relationship LIKE the exact same conflict truly, they could've done something less love triangle-y, could've just let rory fall for jess and break up with dean but noooo

#gilmore girls #honestly this show loves weird/insane behavior between men who both want the same woman #like when max and luke first meet before the proposal and have that weird trying to one-up each other bit #and luke and christopher fighting in season 7 though christopher has ZERO reason to want to fight luke #and frankly luke should've been content getting the one punch in at the beginning of the season #but yeah it's just so obnoxious and exhausting honestly #like i actually somewhat enjoy rory/tristan and obvs rory/jess are my everything #and it's just so tainted by this stupid bits #like dean overreacts and is insane obviously but the pettiness from tristan/jess is so embarrassing to watch sometimes #jess at least can be funny and sarcastic about it but tristan's moments always came off so condescending

It's endlessly funny to me that some poor alien in One Minute War is going to be forced to write a threat assessment on Earth's active defenses and it's going to solely consist of two seniors, an adult, two young adults, one pregnant young adult and seven minors aged ~4-17.

Normally threat assessments and war intel is focused on access to supplies, number of soldiers, strategic locations, known routes, training/education, gear, weapons, vehicles, allies, political landscapes, relevant history, ect.

This threat assessment is going to be a book report on the Flash family. That's all they have to go off of. The strategic advantage is that the kid's bedtime is at 7:30. The relevant war history will be that one of the 100+ year olds was a military messenger in the 17th century and the other 100+ year old was a special operative contracted during World War 2. Four college diplomas, four report cards, a Flash museum pamphlet and a collection of mint edition Flash comics are submitted as evidence. The list of tactical gear consists of a cool ring and sneakers. For 'political landscape' they write about Jai's journal entries which suggest that there is great turmoil among Earth's ranks over who does the dishes on any given night. This is marked as having potential for psychological warfare.
