He’s seen a lot.
He probably enlisted as a young man, like all the others, with the hope of becoming a war hero. And stayed in the service after the first world war because he felt more at home in his skin surrounding himself with like-minded soldiers. I know this sounds obvious, but it’s still interesting to acknowledge how much he chose that life because he wanted to avoid the social pressures such as courtship and conventional marriage.
I get what internet (often borderline or overt rad)feminists are trying to say with shit about how men never have to deal with x, but sooo many of the examples get shot to shit when you apply any other Man to the example than a cishet rich thin white guy.
“When have men ever had to worry about being killed for something they wore?” Black men. Gay men. Trans men.
“When have men ever been body shamed?” Fat men, balding men, disabled men.
“When have men ever had to worry about walking home at night?” Black men, gay men.
People reinvent “if men could get pregnant” over and over and when someone says “oh they do actually” it’s always viewed as hostile and not a potential intersection.
Like no, you do not have to coddle men, but men saying “hey I do know what it’s like actually” are not outright our enemy trying to center themselves, they are often extending a hand saying “hey I do get it too.”
U can watch Star Wars so many times and it doesn’t prepare u for how dumb Star Wars is. For one thing I think we gloss over how kenobi (who has definitely been at the club. Please.) describes the mos eisley cantina as the worst most villainous place ever and then u get inside and it’s a pack of muppets vaping
honestly i hate tony stark so fucking much, i saw a post talking about how clearly steve is in the right during captain america: civil war and resparked by outrage at tony in that movie and just in general
like the sokovia accords clearly violate the human rights of enhanced individuals and steve has a very strong sense of justice, when he sees people being mistreated he steps in, that’s why he’s such a good hero and tony want to sign them because he feels bad about a person they couldn’t save. that one of tony’s big problems, he can’t accept that he cannot save every single person but steve is a soldier he understands that he can’t save everyone, it sucks and he wishes he could but he can’t so he just tries the best he can to save as many people as he can
and honestly tony has no right to be like “we have to sign away people’s basic rights because the robot i built turned evil and we couldn’t save every single person” like bitch you were a weapon’s dealer for years i absolutely hate the way pietro and wand maximoff are treated in the mcu cause taking two jewish and romani characters and stripping them of their identities and having them work for the fucking nazis is disgusting but they have every right to hate tony
tony’s weapons have probably killed thousands and after he decides to stop making weapons instead of using all his money to help those whose his weapons have hurt he decides to build a super suit to fight crime in LA
also tony isn’t an enhanced individual, he has no fucking right to tell a bunch of enhanced individuals that they should give up their rights
split ends
Pats all of them 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
do you think that after the rako hardeen mission obi-wan went to see his battalion and just. walked right onto the bridge of the negotiator and some clone goes "general on deck" and they all stand at attention because that's what you do when your commanding officer joins you on the bridge but none of them realize just which specific general walked right in until someone gasps and they slowly, one after the other, realize who that is and it can't be he's dead yet none of them fall out of stance despite the shock because they're all good men and haven't been dismissed yet, except cody, the most collected and loyal and best of them all, who goes pale and staggers back a few steps and then doesn't breathe until obi-wan softly says "at ease" with his eyes trained on cody and then high general kenobi has a shaking bundle of marshal commander in his arms and excuse the rambling but i think about this a lot
STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS CAME OUT 16 YEARS AGO!!!
