Lylla: *Chooses A Nice, Pretty Name For Herself, Recognizing That She Is Beautiful Despite Being Subjected

i love how seriously this fandom is about some stuff as if this universe is at all grounded in reality

Darkstripe is real

Thank you Erins for giving Firestar two daughters and no sons, he's a GirlDad as he was always meant to be

I haven't seen anyone talk about this yet. Towards the end of Guardians vol 3, when Rocket sees Lilah, Teefs, and Floor again, they're not "whole." All four of them still have their enhancements. To me, this detail is so important.

As disabled people, we have a history of being told that, when we die, when we go to heaven, all of our illnesses, deformities, ways of being in the world will be gone. We will be cured. But for many of us, we don't want to be cured. If there is an afterlife, and I'm not autistic, I wouldn't even know the first thing about how I would exist as that. More importantly, I wouldn't be myself.

Like disabled people, Rocket, Lilah, Teefs, and Floor didn't get to choose their existence, their bodies, their minds. They were made that way and, very realistically, could not imagine being any other way, despite their pain and suffering. Even in most modern media, disability is a plot device that, when its purpose has been served, gets cured or written out of the narrative. Having all four of them being disabled in the afterlife is so goddamned important.

Sketchy nonsense

I do condemn the media and governments for spending more time and resources searching for those five morons than for the Mediterranean wreckage, however I can’t be mad at the internet because i get it. Only one of these stories is funny and only one of these stories is a win for the working class. If this situation helps further cement the fact that only certain lives are valued under capitalism, and that the rich are NEVER smarter or savvier than the lower classes, then I say keep the memes coming.
