My Condolences Go Out To Every Powerful Man With A Bald Man As The Bane Of Their Existence

Bigby page!

People really talk about “problematic” Naruto ships as if we’re not all watching (& enjoying) a show about child soldiers and eyeball theft

Kurt Wagner appreciation post

Could you do Angel Dust finding out his child was sent to hell? Would he try to be a dad again?

-he would be devastated to learn his child found their way down to Hell. He did everything in his power to make sure you went down the right path.

-he would definitely try to be a father again.

-he may be a little overbearing and pushy but he only does it because he loves you.

Venom Nightcrawler !!!!! The Best of Both World's

There's some very stunning images of Nightcrawler with a Venom type symbiote and I just adore it so🥹🥹🥹 but I truly don't know anything about comics, and my vague understanding is he is not he main character of this comic, truly saddening ☹️☹️

Season 5 Ep2. Them hugging in this episode was so cute im glad they got close and could form a father and son bond since the last time we saw them together in Family ties. Magneto only being convinced to help after his son was mentioned being captured like bro did not gaf if the world was in danger but the moment his son was mentioned hes like ok ill help. What a softie

Common and not-so-common weaknesses: Faeries

Faeries Common and uncommon weaknesses: Iron - Iron is one of the oldest and most traditional weaknesses of faeries.  In pop culture you don’t see it used too often as a weakness but it’s started to slowly get a foothold with things like Disney’s Gargoyles (TV series) in which Oberon was wounded with iron, Puck was restrained by iron, and so was Coyote.  Iron is also how King Stefan was able to cut off Maleficent’s wings in the film Maleficent.   In most folklore iron is the only metal that can cause human-like injuries to a faery and usually a part cut off with iron cannot be restored. Iron chains can be used to restrain a faery or restrict their magick.   And an iron dagger (if inducing a serious injury) might be fatal to a faery as magick will not heal that injury. They would have to recover as a mortal would.  Iron being a weakness of faeries is why horseshoes are believed to be lucky and why people used to hang iron scissors over babies as they slept, so that a faery would not steal the child.  In Marvel Heroes MMORPG if you fight the Dark Elves they will sometimes cry out “They must have deadly iron!”   Iron is a common weakness of faeries and elves (in some folklore, particularly Nordic).  Iron is a weakness of the Dark Elves in the Marvel comic books (but not so much in the movies).  In some lore the mere contact with iron will burn while in others it requires an actual injury to do harm.  In some fictions even the ringing of an iron bell will hurt a faery.  In some lore the mere contact with iron will burn while in others it requires an actual injury to do harm.  In some fictions even the ringing of an iron bell will hurt a faery. True names - In some folklore if you know a faery’s true name you can summon or even enslave the faery.   Calling a faery’s true name three times will usually compel that faery to appear.   It’s the notion that names have power and so faeries never give their young common names that helped create such folkloric figures as Rumplestiltskin (who was a literal faery / imp in his faery tale).  Calling out Toot’s true name three times is how Harry Dresden summoned him in the first Dresden Files novel.  And in Once Upon a Time Belle was able to summon Mr. Gold / Rumplestiltskin in season 4 by calling his name three times.   This lore has trickled into ghost stories like Bloody Mary, The Candyman movie franchise and, of course, Beetlejuice.

Sweets - Many faeries crave sweets.  It won’t hurt them but they do crave it and can be used to lure some types of faeries into traps.

Gold - in the Rare exception of the Dullahan (headless Horsemen) gold will ward them off.

Lemons - Apparently in some modern lore faeries do not like lemons for some reason.

Truth - Many faeries in folklore cannot out right lie. They can deceive through careful wording but they cannot directly lie.   This is hinted at with some of Rumplestiltskin’s dealings in Once Upon a Time and comes up in many folktales.

Note: I thought about adding decapitation and fire to this list but I’m not sure about those…  

MARVEL!!!!

TURN THE BAMFS INTO MARKETABLE PLUSHIES!

AND MY LIFE IS YOUR'S!!!!!!

Hype for X-Men 97 has got me thinking about their potential future in the MCU. Whenever the X-Men do finally make their way into the MCU, I beg and pray for the bamfs. I want my X-Men to be allowed to have fun, and the bamfs are just such an embodiment of the X-Men being fun. Just from a marketing standpoint, look at Pickles.

Look at him.

LOOK AT HIM.

LOOK

AT

HIM

You play your cards right and you’ve got the MCU’s Baby Yoda. I don’t want grim-dark. I don’t want snarky, cynical humor. I want an emotionally sincere exploration of being othered & found family that’s also a fun & fantastical adventure story and I want there to be bamfs. I want there to be Pickles.
