i am not a believer in fandom having an age limit but i DO believe that with age and experience you should at least try to develop the ability to Act Right on the internet. nothing wrong at all with being 30+ in fandom but by that point you should be mature enough to devote your fandom experience to just vibing and you definitely should not be devoting it to having shipping arguments with people half your age
I’m honestly not a big fan of Cillian Murphy’s Scarecrow. Y’know, the one from The Dark Knight trilogy?
I dunno, he just didn’t strike me as THE Scarecrow. He seemed more like a copycat criminal mimicking Scarecrow? If that makes sense?
It seemed like one of those things where ‘the real’ Scarecrow would show up during an end credits scene and fear gas his pretender while proclaiming that Murphy’s Crane was a faker.
I don’t know why I feel that way about it. That version just rubbed me the wrong way, I guess?
Maybe its the actor? Don’t get me wrong, his performance was fine, but I don’t look at Murphy and think ‘Yeah, that’s Jonathan Crane’.
When I was bullied in school, they usually focused on me being ugly, the things I made being ugly (being an artist), my love of fantasy and mythology, or me being weird/stupid.
With that in mind, I’m honestly not sure. Most rogues/villains are at least smart, lol. So, if we’re talking which already existing villain/rogue I’d be, I’m kind of stumped. (Though, to be fair, what I lack is scholarly intelligence. Not cleverness.) Maybe, depending on the version, Mad Hatter? I don’t think so though.
However, if we’re talking about who would I be in a more ‘original character’ sense... The first thing that came to mind is some kind of Rumpelstiltskin or Cheshire cat-themed character. Idk, I think it kind of fits. (Or maybe that’s just my recent hyperfixation on Once upon a time and Alice in wonderland talking, who knows?)
So everyone, if this was the DCU, what kind of villain/rouge would you be based on what you’ve been bullied for as a kid?
If anyone says they’d be a hero you’re BLOCKED!
I love how Across the Spiderverse basically went out of its way to say that things like the spider society and the TVA are fascist. That's my favorite thing, lmao.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I got major 'We don't talk about the MCU in this household' vibes from Across the Spiderverse. They made reference to it, yeah, but it felt more like it was a joke than anything else. (Which I appreciate, because modern MCU is trash.)
Not Hobie Brown being suddenly added to my list of favorite Marvel characters, lol. (Along with Pavitr Prabhakar, oh my god.)
Excellent. Kind of wish it didn't end on a cliffhanger, but if that's what you have to do to tell the story well, I'm more than willing to wait on what happens next.
As much as we all like to imagine a universe where Loki survives Thanos and joins the Avengers in some ‘good ending’ plot line... I genuinely don’t think he’d be an Avenger for very long, if at all.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying he can’t ‘be a good guy’ or anything, but I can’t see him being an Avenger. Not only because of his bad rap with earth, not only because Thor is involved and their relationship is rocky at best, but because of the other characters.
I have no problem believing that Bucky, Steve, Thor, Vision, and maybe Bruce (Seeing Ragnarok) would be willing to give him a chance. Strange and T’challa... maybe, if simply because they weren’t really involved with/aware of his ‘mishaps’ in New York. However, the others? ...I genuinely can’t see them being too welcoming to him. Especially Tony, Clint, Pietro, and Wanda.
The situation with New York I imagine would hit a little too close to home for Wanda and Pietro, so they’d at the very least be wary of him at first. Tony and Clint on the other hand, would be unabashedly cold to him. I can see Tony even borderline bullying him sometimes. (Using him as a punching bag because he was the root cause of his trauma from NY? Maybe not purposefully, but I can see him subconsciously targeting him for that reason.)
Other characters like Sam, Peter P, and Scott would probably only have known him through the news and other things detailing the events of the disaster, so would most likely see him as a terrorist. I don’t think I need to explain why that would cause some issues.
Because of this animosity, I don’t see Loki being able to be an Avenger. Not because they wouldn’t try, but because Loki just wouldn’t be able to stomach the treatment he’d be levied.
Honestly, he might be similar to Natasha in that regard. Wanting to ‘clear his ledger’ and believing that joining a group of ‘heroes’ would help him redeem himself. Only this time, instead of it being filled with hydra members, it’s filled with people who treat him just like everyone in Asgard did when he was growing up.
A chance he’d be given, but some characters would give it reluctantly, and some would keep treating him like a criminal until he eventually just gave up and left.
Dunno, that’s just how I see it. Don’t let me ruin your fun though, a ‘happy ending’ is definitely deserved for all of these characters, so feel free to disregard this little angsty headcanon of mine, lol.
Also, if you disagree and think I’m mis-characterizing someone or missing a piece of info, feel free to explain why. I like having discussions about stuff like this, haha. ^v^
Maybe I'm just jaded from Pokemon disappointing me, but I genuinely don't think Legends Z-A is going to do anything fun with the starters.
In fact, I don't think they'll do any new megas at all. No new megas, no regional forms. I will genuinely even be surprised if they decide to give Chikorita the fairy type, like some people are speculating.
I also feel like reigonal forms won't happen partially because it doesn't make sense. X and Y didn't have regional forms, after all, and Z-A is taking place after X and Y. Not even that far into the future, by the looks of it.
I feel like it'll just be a blander Legends Arceus, personally. If even that.
I hope I'm wrong, but that's where my head is at right now.
Just me thinking about those Pokemon nuzlocke comics online and starting to wonder if I should make one. Hmm...
Context: If I do one, it'll probably be a randomizer nuzlocke. Maybe of Fire Red?
As Trans day of visibility winds down, I'd like to make mention that this is a trans-friendly space. All year round, all the time.
I do not support anti-trans ideologies or anti-trans people in the slightest, including and especially that of a certain radfem writer who got her foothold in fantasy whom I shall not name. I support trans people, including those outside the binary.
Your gender identity is valid, your experiences as a trans person are valid, your pronouns are valid, and even though there are a lot of awful things trans people are having to deal with right now, I support each and every one of you.
Trans MTF, Trans FTM, Nonbinary, Genderfluid, Xenogender, whatever your identity, it's valid.
Trans kings, queens, and monarchs of Tumblr, even in the face of all the bullshit you have to go through, I hope you all keep your chin up, don't let your crowns fall.
(PS: If you're anti-trans/anti-nonbinary and you're following me, unfollow right now. Block me if you must, I genuinely don't care.)
I’m bored, so if anyone wants to send me some [NON-PROSHIP] ships for this, feel free. (I’ll obviously only respond to ones from fandoms/involving characters that I’m familiar with, lol. Though, I’m familiar with quite a few fandoms/franchises not talked about yet on this blog, so, I guess just send what you think I might know?)
