If game of thrones hasn’t normalized incest by now (pulling over 10 million views in the 7th season alone) then a small fandom ship most certainly won’t
Spn ran for fifteen fucking seasons, it ran for over a decade, and wincest was consistently one of the two or three most popular ships. And it had no measurable impact on real world abuse. Maybe you think fandom is uniquely dangerous (why, idk, but this tumblr after all) but a pretty good rule of fandom is that if Spn couldn’t do it, fucking no one else is going to manage it.
wizards thinking of clerics as hacks cause we spent years of study learning the secrets of the universe they cheated and got a god to do their magic for them
clerics thinking of wizards as hacks cause we spent years serving and cultivating a deeply personal relationship with a god they copied down some cheat codes to make stuff blow up
And sorcerers are like “no wait, hold on. This is basically a curse. I’ve been *experiencing* magic against my will since I was born and it’s hurt a lot of people.”
… and then everyone glares at the warlock in the corner. Their response: “Yeah, no. That’s fair. I blew Cthulhu in the parking lot behind the McDonald’s and now I can do magic. Best deal ever. You all can (and should) suck it.”
The first couple of captain america movies were good. I know. I know. I hate the mcu too but the first couple of captain america movies were good I’m Sorry. I have to speak my truth
The mcu wasn’t ALWAYS completely soulless. Like it was never high art or anything it’s always been kinda silly action movies but the first couple of em were good. I’m not gonna let the first avenger + winter soldier get memory hole’d Never forget what we once had. Me & like three other people are left standing in the stucky trenches in 2023. I am cringe but I am right. Remember what we believed in
I’ll happily go farther than that: Winter Soldier is a great movie. The dialogue is good, the pacing is good, each supporting actor gets a solid arc which means for once Natasha and Fury are written well and Anthony Mackie gets to show off his range, the fight choreography is snappy and well thought-out, and the Bucky reveal is timed and acted impeccably.
Also, not to soapbox about this again like it’s 2014 lol, but while I’m on the fence about how intentional it was, they really did go ahead and say “the core of US military imperialism is white supremacy and it’s irredeemable, the only thing to do with it is expose it and burn it down” and they said it cogently and impactfully.
Wasn’t aware that people were saying that these movies were bad? But this is a hill I’m perfectly willing to die on even 9 years later. Of course taste is subjective but I’m with OP, I’m speaking my truth and Winter Soldier was awesome.

This tumblr was original conceptualized to post my artwork, updates about my
site, etc
HOWEVER, mostly recently I have completely set sail on the Stucky ship, so my
blog has been mostly consumed by that and all things MCU. Expect Fanart, fic
links, meta, feminist and queer theory pontificating, and other things that
catch my interest.
