Ever since I was a little girl I always wanted to get hit by a car in a way that would make me a lot of money
the fact that walls get dusty is ridiculous. you're vertical. act like it.

Lots of people talk about the Captain’s arc like it’s entirely about him learning that it’s okay to be gay (homosexual). But I think, really, it’s far more about him learning that it’s okay to be gay (happy). That’s what’s actually changed about him from series to series, really - he’s gradually become more free and open and honest about everything. The man went from being the most strongly disliked member of a group of people who all already disliked each other, to being a supportive friend, and a surrogate father figure, and a guy who can find simple, peaceful pleasure in sitting and watching a colony of ants go about its business.
(And, you know, a guy who’s also still kind of a dick sometimes - but would we really want him not to be?)
But his sexuality is, obviously, still his biggest hurdle, and I think that’s why it’s taken so long. It has to be the last thing because it’s the culmination of all of it. He can’t get to a place where he can fully accept that he’s allowed to be one of those definitions of the word without also fully accepting that he’s allowed to be the other. It’s a coming out story where coming out is just that one final piece of a much bigger puzzle - but, of course, placing the piece is the only way to finish the picture
being a shivgirl and a romangirl is actually about experiencing horrible despair whenever shiv embarrasses herself or is shut out in a room full of men and absolute euphoria when roman bombs every one of his goals and tries to kill himself
There is something so sad about how in Marvel-like franchises found families are never really allowed to stay together because actors will eventually leave and they need to keep making movies.
Do you ever think about how a single misguided study on wolves in captivity has resulted in both the most widespread toxic pseudoscientific theory in the manosphere and what is arguably the weirdest genre of graphic kinky gay fanfiction and depending on who you are and what you've seen you'll hear the word Alpha and either think of the platonic ideal of a cis het man or one feral mediocre middle aged actor's dick knot impregnating another's slick-drenched hole. Isn't the internet a wondrous place.
Cats (2019) really did him dirty.
