Merle Oberon as George Sand in A Song to Remember, 1945
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.

Brb, going to spend the rest of my life making The Office/Avengers crossover comics.
Husband just told me he’s going to sit in the car because he’s about to yell at someone on the phone and doesn’t want me to be upset by his yelling and I can’t decide if this is a little sad or kinda hilarious.
EYO, I GOT SOME QUESTIONS TO ASK YOU
Hello friends,
I’m curious about something—and I love collecting empirical data (maybe it’s the autism/j 🤔). I wanted to do something about it,
So, I have some questions:
1. How many languages do you speak? (You can include ones you’re not fluent in, but please specify)
2. What are they?
Follow up: how many of your friends speak the same language(s)?
3. Where did you grow up (Country, state, province or whatever)?
Follow up: Describe your neighborhood to me, was it nice, bad, expensive, cheap, etc.
4. How financially well off were you as a child?
Follow up: If you feel comfortable sharing, what was the income your parent(s) made?
5. What ethnicity are you?
6. What job do you have now?
Follow up: And if you feel comfortable sharing, how much money do you make? (Also, please add if your pay is salaried or hourly)
Finally, what are some interesting facts about your language?
This is for a little project of my own that I’m doing. I know there are some issues in the school system (I’m an American, what do I expect) and I got curious. I want to see how many factors play in to the amount of languages someone speaks.
Most of the time, education is expensive—at least in the U.S it is (our public school system is shit). Yet, languages seem to be an outlier. The prissy rich white kids that can barely speak English, let alone a lick of Spanish, present an exception to the rule (education is expensive).
Also, a lot of my friends speak more than one language, but the American school system requires them to learn two while *in school*. Also, a lot of them speak languages that aren’t taught at my school— like Tagalog, Hindi, Gujarati, German, Russian, etc.— and I’m wondering if there’s a pattern to it.

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.
