Bobby’s inability to be himself around others (and really, the earliest examples of his queercoding) takes a big leap once he joins the Defenders.

(Defenders (1972) #127)

The Iceman (1984) solo released the middle of the Defenders run also repeatedly discusses this. Bobby visits his parents for a family reunion (with his one decent cousin, Mary), and he acknowledges that he can’t be who his parents want him to be. Likewise, his parents don’t like who he is. This leaves him with very mixed emotions about his own identity. Hint hint.

Don't you mean classist Typo, as in discriminating against poor people, and not classicist, the type of academic who studies antiquity in southern Europe?

Inspired by the fact that I am rewatching my first ghibli movie spirited away

Please reblog for bigger sample size

I feel very old because only 8% of us voted for mononoke: it was the first ghibli movie to get to cinemas here

loving this new tiktok trend of 14 year olds thinking 1998 was actually the 1800s

you haven't changed, you just think you have

Having anotheg 'gork we have got to get out of bed faster then this' morning

dasfsffadfjdag I meant girl but gork works better

I didn't even question it I was nodding along like I'm literally right there with you gork

Now I (still in bed) am going gork. gork please. we need to get out of bed already.

babygork please. please you have to get up

Okay so my birthday is on the 21st of this month and I usually love gifts but I don't give a fuck about that this year.

All I want is for people to donate what they can to this disabled elderly Black woman named Beverly. She has Multiple Sclerosis and is unable to move or use her hands or legs. Her wheelchair is her only way she can lift herself or turn over, otherwise it hurts her to stay in one position because then she will get very painful bedsores.

Beverly needs a new custom wheelchair (which she operates with her head) and ceiling lift, and her GoFundMe is close to her target. She's at $26,317, and her goal is $34,575. She just needs $8,259 to be able to have the freedom to move and help manage her disability.

Please please PLEASE donate what you can to her. She reminds me a lot of my mom whom I don't speak with anymore, and maybe that's a selfish reason, but her situation breaks my fucking heart and makes me want to cry hard. I want and need to help Beverly, and I need your help.

Please do Beverly a kindness and donate what you can to her. Let that be my birthday gift. I just want her to reach her goal and have that dignity and ability to move and avoid bedsores and immobility.

We can help Beverly get to where she needs and have her needs met. Every dollar, even a single solitary dollar, helps so much.

Here is the link to her GoFundMe, and a Twitter thread about it that brought it to my attention in the first place, as well as her TikTok for more information.

Thank you. Bless you. I love you.

Let's share the love with Beverly too. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💖

Beverley's up over $1,000+ dollars since we started!!

She just needs $7,122 and she'll have met her goal and be able to get her specialized wheelchair + ceiling lift.

You guys are doing great work, please keep donating so she can get her life back again.

Thank you so much for everything you've done, keep it up!!

(Also, I misspelled her name -- it's Beverley, not Beverly. Mea culpa.)

Gen Fic Recs

Here are some of my fave gen fics for mostly comics. Please give them some love, as gen fics are routinely underlooked. <3

Rex Racer on the Final Turn by GrayJay - X-Men (Comics) - A epistolary fic based on 616 canon, focusing on the Summers brothers. It's very long and detailed and fits neatly into canon while updating to modern tech. I cannot emphasize enough how much I love this one.

You're the Comeback Kid by ryoukootonashi - DCU (Comics) - Roxy Leech + Kon, about Roxy reacting to Kon's death. A nice focus into a relationship DC has neglected for years.

Sure on this shining night by mediant - DCU (Comics) - Lots of good stuff from the Superfam Secret Santa, but this one sticks out for digging into Kryptonian customs. I just adore it.

a window opens up (someone calls your name) by sheikahs - DCU (Comics) - A post-Mercury Falling Thad redemption. For those of you who know, I don't think I need to say more. But I just loved the premise, and it was so, so good.

The Irredeemable Beast by OhMyStarsAndGarters - X-Men (Comics) - A fic which reconciles Hank McCoy's previous characterization with all the stuff that's happened in recent years. If you liked Hank McCoy and want a good story following modern comics, this is for you. It's still a WIP, but I've been loving it.

how big, how blue, how beautiful by merils - DCU (Comics) - Friend fic <3 but also listen to Rimi, Ph.D. in Kon about his trauma and enjoy the Clark + Kon dynamic. No one gets Clark + Kon like Rimi.

Family Ties by SolidCoffee - TMNT - Another friend fic, but Raph as a dad with family drama. It's so much fun and complex, and I love Jamie's attention to detail.

PLUS a self-plug

Right to Remain Silent - DCU (Comics) - Focuses on an outsider POV of what happens after Jor-El and Lara Lor-Van send their son away.
