T'challa, A Weary Sibling, Testing New Gear: Is This A Prank

i have this au i’ve really liked lately where ravenpaw becomes a kittypet after leaving thunderclan and his new owners train him to be a therapy cat and it’s all about ravenpaw dealing with his trauma and learning how to cope while helping humans do the same. idk i really like it

@staff are you fucking kidding me right now?! You’re limiting text posts to 100 text blocks (aka paragraphs). What the absolute fuck.

Since you couldn’t take out fanfic writers with the purge so you’re just fucking up formatting for text posts until they leave? Is that your plan?

Where was the rape joke? It’s been a few years since I last watched AOU, but now I need to know so I can point it out to people.

okay, so i saw a post on my dash about the aou scene with thor and tony, and i obviously didn’t want to comment on the post, so i’m writing my piece here.

age of ultron was trash. that movie was garbage and joss whedon and his mannist bullshit perpetuated most of that movie. otherwise, we wouldn’t have so much sexism, so much deterioration of characterization, so much alpha masculinity between the superheroes.

tony making a rape joke. in which universe would tony stark make a rape joke????

thor (a god) lifting a human up by his neck in front of his friends and his friend’s lack of reaction.

natasha’s entire arch with bruce

all of these scenes illustrate just how much joss whedon doesn’t understand the character’s he’s writing. he wants a macho showdown between thor and tony (parallel to his first movie), he wants macho men all sitting around and laughing at rape jokes, he wants minimize natasha’s entire character into being a broken mary sue because she can’t have kids (because adoption doesn’t exist).

joss whedon is trash, his writing is trash, and every problematic thing that happened in aou is joss whedon and thanos looking ass.

Harry Potter/Avengers AU

The Avengers are a team of Witches and Wizards fighting against the Dark Lord Thanos. 

Tony is the mad Wizarding inventor who is a genius with a wand. Bruce is a part-time healer, full-time shape-shifting werewolf. Clint and Natasha are Unspeakables. Thor is a Quidditch beater. And Auror Steve has one hell of a shield charm. 

(Oh, and Loki is a Death Eater, which no one is surprised about)

Oh dear

bare minimum stuff i wish all cis people knew:

basic understanding of what transgender/trans means

what a trans woman is, what a trans man is, and what a nonbinary person is (and recognition there are identities under that umbrella even if they don’t know the specifics)

what (gender) pronouns are and why it’s important to respect them

why it’s good for cis people to normalize sharing pronouns

how to use they/them pronouns

why gender-neutral bathrooms are important

basic knowledge of what kind of jokes are transphobic

basic understanding that trans people face violence and discrimination

like i do not expect everyone to have a degree in Trans Studies but this is basic basic stuff you can learn to help us be comfortable and have a foundation for deeper discussions on trans topics. it would take maybe a few hours or less to get a general understanding of these things.

i don’t want to have to explain all of this every time i ask if we can do pronouns in introductions, add gender-neutral bathrooms to accessibility info, introduce someone who uses they/them pronouns, etc. if people took just a little time to learn this on their own it would be so helpful.

(cis people feel free to reblog this, and i encourage you to do some reading on anything here you don’t know about)
