People who say Wanda enslaving a small town as a way to cope with grief are used to seeing women suffer instead of women getting angry.
This fetishism of tragedy, having to make sure a woman's emotional expression fits in with the traditional feminine narrative - crying, not screaming; hysterical but not violent - focusing on the victimhood instead of anger when it's righteous, is a product of internalised misogyny. Most of the time, women are societally conditioned to induce sympathy rather than show their strength.
What she did was wrong, on all levels. But was it an expected response to losing everything, for the, what, second, third time? Absolutely. Wanda deserves to experience anger in all it's ugly, hurtful blaze. She deserves to "punch a hole in the drywall" so to say, on par with her male counterparts. It doesn't make her actions right, but it offers some insight.
I doubt that was what Marvel was trying to show us, being a product of corporate moneymaking conveyor and all, but that's what I took personally.
She is the best girl.
Happy pride to people with neopronouns and xenogenders! Happy pride to mspec lesbians and gays, to people under the MOGAI banner! Happy pride to aces and aros! HAPPY PRIDE TO ALL QUEER FOLKS!!
Exclusionists can fuck right off <3
fucked up hurt/comfort. the person who stabbed you tends to your wound. the person who killed your loved one helps you grieve.
A genuinely friendly reminder that this is how the books end: them together, living their lives happily. Villanelle doesn't die and gets a linguistics degree.
Please let these men kiss and make up thx
babygirl I'm bothered by noises you wouldn't even hear
IDK who needs to hear this but using a trans person’s pronouns is a matter of safety.
If you're still learning them, practice. Put their pronouns with their contact in your phone. Work at it. Because if they get misgendered in front of strangers, they’re now forced to decide if its safe to correct you.
Choosing between your identity and safety is exhausting and disheartening. Lots of trans folks have to do it daily, and I promise it'll be a major relief to have one less person in their life who makes them go through that.
i’m not doing bad enough to deserve or need help because i’m happy sometimes and i can usually function “normally”.
but i have cuts covering my arm and i’m eating badly.
but i shouldn’t be doing those things because i should be able to cope and i’m not doing that badly.
but i clearly can’t cope if i’m resulting to these negative coping mechanisms.
but i’m not like going to kms or anything.
but i wouldn’t be complaining if i didn’t wake up tomorrow.
