Most People For Some Reason Immediately Assume That If I'm A 'fan Of Loki' That Automatically Means I

To be frank, the double standards of the mcu are hilariously ridiculous:

A man who killed people after the loss of his family is evil and deserves to spend the rest of life in solitary confinement

But a man who killed people after the loss of his family was just grieving and made a mistake

The difference? One of them is an avenger

Mind control is an evil thing to do

Wanda can mind control as many people as many times as she wants to, nobody cares

Torture is bad

It's okay if Thor, Mobius or Wanda are the ones doing it

Being mind controlled makes you innocent if your name is Clint Barton

Being stripped of your memories, even if you made a decision to torture and kill people and enjoyed the process, makes you innocent if your name is Mobius

Being tortured and brainwashed and stripped of your memories is just extenuating circumstances if your name is Bucky Barnes (they originally claimed him innocent but then changed their mind in phase 4)

Being tortured, mind controlled and having your memories altered is your own fault and is no excuse, you enjoyed it anyway, if your name is Loki

Slavery is bad

If Valkyrie spends over a thousand years enslaving people and selling them to the Grandmaster with no remorse, well, she is just making money, give her the throne

Kidnapping babies and hurting and using them their entire life is bad (if you're Dreykov)

But Thanos loved Gamora

And Loki is an ungrateful brat for not appreciating Odin

The list goes on, btw

it’s weird to think how many mental disorders are diagnosed less by what the person actually does and more by how others respond to that person. like how in hysterionic personality disorder (off to a great start) a literal diagnostic criteria is the person’s emotions don’t seem convincing, which is obviously going to depend hugely upon a doctor’s personal bias. and in bpd, though it isn’t a criteria, you hear about clinicians diagnosing people based on the “meat grinder sensation” (feeling like their own insides are being ground up while talking to their patient), and with autism based on the “wall of glass phenomenon” (feeling like there is a barrier in reaching the person). they’re such weird ways to talk about people especially when the clinician’s own biases are rarely taken into account. 

Honestly, I figured. I swear to god, I've only seen it on a single 'totally legal website', and even then, it was recorded with commercials attached.

I don't know whether to say 'don't watch it', or to say 'it's worth watching just because of how bizarre it is'.

Basically, if you're curious: It's Pokemon, except instead of commanding little monsters in Pokeballs, it's ten-year-olds commanding the Marvel superheroes in discs. It's... it's so stupid.

'Spiderman, I choose you!' type shit. The writing is even Digimon-esq, heck-

(Please reblog, I'm genuinely curious about the majority option here.)

CEO of Tumblr, Matt Mullenweg, has started openly harassing tumblr users on other platforms. This dude is actually incredibly scary and malicious and should not be involved with this website going forward. Theres just no excuse for this behavior.

Lol I've just met a person who said that "yes, Loki was mind controlled, but he hurt Clint so he's responsible, but Clint is not responsible because he was mind controlled and that was traumatic for him."

It just gets better with every day of existing in this fandom.

I know it’s not hard to point out reactionaries hypocrisy when it comes to like safe spaces or hug boxes or whatever but genuinely how much of an echo chamber do you have to exist in for you to think this is a reasonable thing to say

My thoughts on the new Jurassic world movie. (Minor spoilers)

I saw Jurassic world Dominion in IMAX yesterday. One of my favorite dinosaurs made an appearance in the movie and I was super happy to see that! Therizinosaurus, aka, The ‘Freddy Krueger-saurus’.

As for the movie itself, it’s...alright. There were a lot of references to older movies/lore and all, which I appreciated. They also added some ‘more accurate’ depictions of dinosaurs, also appreciated. 

But on its own merit, it was alright.

The plot was a little weak, but honestly, considering what happened in the last movie, I feel there’s very little you can do next without stepping on any toes. (Seeing as dinosaurs on the mainland could probably get old pretty fast, and hybrid dinos were used for the last two world movies so that would most likely be tired by that point.)

I think it was a pretty okay send-off, all things considered.

Though it did kind of feel like they cut out scenes, or shaved off things for the sake of the run time. There were still quite a few things I liked about the movie, I’d probably watch it again, tbh.

All in all...ehh... 5/10

   I had this idea in mind for a while and decided to try my hand at sketching my ideas down. Then posted it on another site, but decided to also put this here, because I figure some of you might be interested?

   It’s important to note that these are based on the current concepts I have for my designs for them. Jervis is still in line for quite some change, especially in his outfit, so it might not end up looking like it does here. (I’ve also been considering making a few changes to Jonathan’s design, but that’s not concrete yet)

   So, here they are, these three as anthro animals. (Inspired by Beastars/Beast complex, mostly. ...But also 'Batman vs the TMNT')

   Feel free to reblog this if you’d like, but please don’t Reupload or repost! Especially on other sites!

   If you want to read a bit about these, feel free to do so:

Jonathan 'Scarecrow' Crane:    Jonathan in this AU is a Arabian horse/Crocodile hybrid. As such, Arabians being as skinny as they are, coupled with the crocodile's typical appearance makes him incredibly unsettling to look at even before he hit puberty. Once puberty came, patches of his fur began to fall out, revealing patches of crocodile skin/scales underneath. I like to think his entire back is void of fur and covered with crocodile hide/spikes.

   His ears are half torn due to his being a victim of Keeny's trained crows. I just find it a bit hard to believe that they wouldn't go after his ears in this AU seeing as they're so out in the open. Horse genetics and all.    I love how he came out here. He just has this unsettling appearance that really adds to his design I think. I also noticed while sketching him that he kind of looks like a dragon a little bit??? I didn't draw clothes on him mostly because I wanted a good look at how boney and angular he looks. And that HAND. I'm so proud of that hand. How spindly the fingers look, the scales on his face, the fur around the scaly patches. *Chef kiss* perfection. Super proud of how that came out.  

Jervis ‘Mad Hatter’ Tetch:

   I knew I wanted him to be a rabbit. That's the first thing. But instead of going the boring route of making him a pure white rabbit, I decided it would be neat to make him a harlequin. (Seeing as I wasn't going to make Harley into a rabbit, figured I might as well.) I also like the aesthetic that comes with the ears poking out of the hat brim, so I needed that in this picture for sure.

   Not much to really say about this one, it's pretty straightforward.

Edward 'Riddler' Nygma:    I decided on making him a lion because the 'pride' jokes were too good to pass up. (Though I also like to think he's actually a leopon, but pretends that he's a full-blooded lion.)

   I- would hate to admit how long it took me to figure out how to draw his hat. Also lion faces are damn difficult to draw, lol. You can't tell me a Riddler lion wouldn't have his full head of mane just flowing over his shoulders like that. I refuse to believe that he would cut it short. Also, forgive me for how awful that ear jewelry looks, drawing stuff like that on animal ears is difficult to figure out.

   I'm pretty happy with this one as well, not nearly as proud as Jonathan, but still pretty happy with it.
