You know, I love the Marvel movies, but they're doing something wrong that the comics did right. The movies are erasing important, distinctive parts of the characters.
Hawkeye is disabled/deaf in the comics, but not in the movies
Loki is genderfluid, yet we've only seen him as male in the movies
Wanda is Jewish and Romani in the comics, but she's played by a white person (don't get me wrong though I love Elizabeth Olsen and think she's doing a great job) and in Captain America: Civil War, Wanda had crosses on her wall in her room, which are clear Christian symbols
Joe Russo played the MCU's "first openly gay character" in Avengers: Endgame and the representation was so small that it was kind of insulting. Now, having said that, this means Marvel's taking a step in the right direction, but given their track record, I'm afraid they're going to straightwash Billy and Tommy Maximoff (if they grow older than children) like they did with Ayo (Black Panther), Mystique (X-men), and Valkyrie (Thor: Ragnarok). Plus, Billy, at least, isn't just a minor gay character. He and his husband are like THE LGBT icons of the Marvel Universe. They have a whole comic line just dedicated to their wedding.
(Plus, back to the Wanda being Jewish thing, you can clearly see Billy wearing a kippah at his wedding in the second picture, which is a Jewish cap. They did, in fact, have a Jewish wedding in the comics. She raised (or rather didn't????) her kids to be Jewish like her.)
I'm sure there are probably several other characters that have characteristics that are being overlooked that I haven't listed here, but these are just the few that I could think of. All I'm saying is I want more than just Tony's PTSD represented. Because that was also a real problem and I'm not ignoring that Marvel did do a good job of showing that. But I want more than that.
Authors Notes: Okay so my last fic was super heavy and angsty and y'all made it pretty clear that y’all weren’t into that. So, that’s why I made the poll asking what you’d like to read. This was one of the requests. (I won’t get to all of them but I’ll do what I can) These will mostly be drabbles but a few may turn into one-shots. Hope y'all enjoy!

He stood, leaning against the post, grinning as he watched you gather the eggs from the large hen house.
You looked up and blushed when you caught his eye. “What?”
He shook his head, “Just wondering when you’ll give me the time of day.”
You rolled your eyes and moved to the next hen box, placing the eggs into your basket, “You’re the King’s only nephew, everyone gives you the time of day.”
“But they don’t matter.” He stepped closer to you, taking the basket from your arms. He put a hand to your cheek and brushed away a stray hair that had fallen from your braid.

please- how does he keep ending up like this 😭
Just came back from the Women’s March—(in reaction to the Texas bill, if anyone was wondering).
There were a shit ton of Anti-vaxx protesters there, and a handful of anti-choice asswipes. I have a theory of what will happen as a result:
The crowd that is only anti-vaxx will make us-pro choice-look anti-vaxx to. People who don’t know about the pro-choice movement, will begin to think that “my body my choice” applies to vaccines too.
Your test results coming back negative isn't necessarily a good thing. Sometimes it just means that you're back to step one in trying to figure out what's wrong with you.
Conversely, a diagnosis can be a huge relief.
Wheelchairs mean freedom.
Things that most people would consider non-activities, such as taking a shower, putting on clothes or commuting, can take a huge amount of energy if you have a chronic illness.
This includes things you do for fun, such as socialising, playing games, reading, and even watching TV.
Exercise is going to make my condition worse, not better.
