Random Fandom Poll #1

If I made a Batman movie, I'd cast Robert Carlyle as Scarecrow/Jonathan Crane.

Look at the roles he's played and tell me that man wouldn't do a fantastic job. Whether you want him more serious, or more 'hroo hraa'-esq, he'd play the part well.

I feel it in my bones. He's the ultimate choice.

Random idea:

An Elseworlds story where Year one Scarecrow becomes an anti-hero.

He’s not a member of the bat-family, but he works with them every so often. He starts as a straight-up villain at the beginning of the comic as usual, but after being defeated by Batman, having his fear toxin turned around on him kind of acts as a ‘wake up call’? 

I came up with four separate scenarios and scenes that could take place in a universe like that. He almost becomes a red hood-like figure, but with fear toxin, snake venom, and crows. Lots of crows.

Might be a bit of a stretch but one of the ideas I had involved Karen moving to Gotham after the events of the comic. (Without her husband, she needed a job and a place to live, so she moved to some crap apartment with Jon’s sister. Everyone assumed Jon died, so she had no real worry about him popping up again.) Only to hear about this ‘Scarecrow’ running around and realizing she made a terrible mistake. Karen and Jon’s sister end up becoming reoccurring characters. (With, by the way, no incentive in the slightest for Jon to forgive her, in fact, it’s actually the opposite.)

In that type of scenario, a situation arises, as Karen gets into trouble with loan sharks and it results with Jon’s sister begin kidnapped. Jon finds out about this and saves her, maybe having some internal monologue about it, then returns her to Karen in person. (Basically to say ‘I’m not going to kill you anymore. Not because I don’t think you deserve it, but because Batman made me realize you’re not worth my time.’) Then he leaves.

This basically sums up how I imagine this type of story going. But honestly, that still could leave a lot of potential character relationships, scenarios, and other things open for possibilities. 

Erasing Loki won't erase me

I wrote this on Twitter and it got long:

They really hated how #Loki represented the outcasts and thus had to change him to be relatable to mainstream people instead. Strip him of everything that made him unique and punish him thoroughly in the process.

They hate us so much, they couldn't let us have one badass character we could relate to. If marginalized people feel represented, or worse empowered, by such a character, it has to be destroyed.

Just like the bullies on the schoolyard tried to beat us into normalcy, the bigots in the entertainment industry forcefully strips our beloved character of everything that made him special, everything that made him one of us.

Fuck you! We still have the original MCU Loki, and we don't forget. Some of us weren't broken by you mainstream oppression machine; we resisted on that schoolyard and we resist now.

We won't disappear because you take away our #representation. People who don't fit in will always exist; dandelions through the cracks of you asphalt, if you will. You can hurt us but you will never succeed in erasing us.

(Please reblog, I'm genuinely curious about the majority option here.)

No thoughts, just marvel crossover AUs

   Okay, I cannot stop thinking about a ‘How to train your dragon’ AU for Marvel.    Would Thor have a Thunderdrum or would he have a Skrill?    Loki with a Changewing perhaps? (Or maybe throw a Nightfury at him for the ‘misunderstood’ points?)    Hela might have a Wooly howl to replace Fenrir? or maybe a red death for the boss battle points?    I’m also fixated on the idea that Tony has a Sword-Stealer. 

   That and a Pokemon AU:    My immediate thought for that being Loki having a Suicune, Thor having a Raikou, and Hela having an Entei. On top of that, they each also have a legendary bird? Loki has Articuno, Thor has Zapdos, and Hela has Moltres?

I finally caught back up on The Dragon Prince, and I gotta say, I'm glad the newer seasons got rid of that odd and awkward pacing and writing issue that the fourth season had.

Also... (MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE DRAGON PRINCE SEASON 3, 5, & 6)

Not me crying while Viren sacrificed himself to cast the cinder heart spell. Damn-

Not me also crying during Aaravos' flashback with his daughter, oh my god. They really had to have him tell her to 'close her eyes', didn't they? (Also, I'm not the only one who suspects Leola had autism, right?)

I also didn't expect how much blood was in these two seasons. WOW. What age is this series geared towards again? TV-Y7? First Viren gets stabbed in the chest in season 3, now there's a bunch of blood spread in a ritualistic rite for dark magic? Yikes! (Also, in season 3, Soren stabbed Viren in the heart, right? Now Soren has Viren perform dark magic that requires a rune in his heart. Coincidence? I don't think so.)

Oh, but I love this series. I cannot believe that they actually got me to care about Viren, though.

I also gotta say, I love that none of my theories end up being right. I have so many every season, and then the story just keeps taking a left turn to somewhere completely different.

Anyway, now I'm just gonna sit in a box like a cat and wait for the next season.

Person: Hey, don't call that MLP character 'Derpy Hooves', that's insulting and ableist! Me: Oh, okay, what should I call her, then? Person: Call her 'Ditzy Doo'. :) Me: ...How is 'Ditzy Doo' less insulting than Derpy Hooves? Person: Well, 'Derpy' is ableist towards people with mental disabilities. Me: And 'Ditzy' is a misogynistic insult towards a woman perceived as stupid, especially if they're a blonde (Which Ditzy happens to also be). ...And you think naming a FEMALE CHARACTER 'Ditzy' is fine?

Can someone explain why people say this? How is 'Ditzy' less bad than 'Derpy'? /gen

Most people for some reason immediately assume that if I'm a 'fan of Loki' that automatically means I must be attracted to/am a fan of Tom Hiddleston.

And like... *Didn't know who Tom Hiddleston was until I looked up Loki's actor.* *Doesn't keep up with anything he's doing, including roles he's been in.* *Doesn't know jack shit about Hiddleston's career or anything about him.* *Likes not just MCU Loki, but also the ones from other cartoons, comics, video games, etc to the exact same extent.* *Legit forgets who Tom Hiddleston even is sometimes.* *Was one of the people who hated the fan-service scenes in the 'Loki show'.*

So Like... I guess you can say the only reason I like Loki or am attracted to them is because of Tom Hiddleston but... I mean, just because you say something doesn't mean it's true.

True story, btw, Someone brought him up and I was like: "...The guy who plays Spiderman?" They laughed at me when I said that and I was so confused, lmao.

You missed a few:

-People apologizing Tony for all the shit he pulled.

-Holding Thanos in higher regard than half the other characters despite him being arguably badly-written and doing horrible things to the other characters even before the snap.

-Completely missing Loki’s entire arc during the first two Thor movies and Avengers, and chalking them up as ‘just a narcissistic villain’.

MCU fans in a nutshell:

Apologizing anything Wanda ever did, even things she did when there was no influence on her.

Victim blaming Bucky and Loki for being controlled and tortured.

Apologizing Clint killing people after the death of his family.

Calling Zemo a villain for doing literally the same.

Smell the hypocrisy.

I JUST SAW AN AD FOR ‘MORBIUS’ AND I’M SHOOK.

IT’S COMING OUT ON MY BIRTHDAY, YA’LL. I HAVE HIGH HOPES FOR THIS SHIT.

Disney, don’t you dare let me down-
