What is toska?

I post things of stuff I like and sometimes I´ll ramble about superhero shows or movies or something else? (but mostly on the tags) and Robert Downey Jr shows up quite a lot and I seem to be unable to not write his whole name every single time. Btw: This isn't my main blog. If I reblog a lot from you I'm probably following you under other name (nothing I can do)

Scenes from @sabrecmc's Frequency fic. I love this fic and I enjoyed drawing these so much! :D

Especially the one where Phil's having a crisis. On one hand, meeting your childhood hero. On the other, naked Steve Rogers.

On second thought, I think Phil is just internally screaming. XD

You can read it on ao3 at this LINK if you haven't already. Then send Sabre some love! :D

I want to try so many little hobbies. Candle making, soap making, basket weaving, wood carving, book binding, baking, weaving, I want to try them all.

I almost made a post about this the other day (unless i actually did and totally forgot) but there’s so many

I was going to make a list, but then i realized this is a good time to share this book

Making Stuff and Doing things is a whole collection of old punk DIY zines about making and doing just about anything, even things you probably never knew you wanted to do.

Book binding? In there.

Making bowls from old vinyl records? I made a whole ton for my brother’s grad party last year.

Basics of guitar? Making rubber stamps? Silk screening? Composting? Homemade beer, root beer, and wine? Soymilk?? Quill pens??? All in there.

Since it’s more punk, it doesn’t have a ton of the folksy, cottage vibes/hobbies, but it’s all about being resourceful and sustainable, which they both have in common.

If i ever need to do anything I’m not sure of, I double check this book to see if there’s anything in there. It’s one of the only books on diy I’ve ever needed.

pacific rim fucks severely for a lot of reasons but my favorite is that it opens with "the lizard aliens are unionizing so we built robots running on the power of love to fight them you got all that right" and before you have time to really process that concept bam gunshot body on the floor and the movie goes "now consider the vast power of grief in this setup" it never really stops considering

This list was created consulting Year in Reviews, Fanlore articles, user feedback, vintage pinterest posts, and my own knowledge. Don't worry about not seeing the shows in their entirety, vote based on your judgement. Enjoy!

Here is the update of the SteveTony comic "A Good Thing" with @festiveferret as the writer 💝

Steve is getting more and more desperate for Tony's touch 👀💖 How will Tony react to Steve's plea ? This shall be seen in the page after that one 😌💙💗Enjoy folks !

💌 Tip Jar 💌

Sometimes in TOS Kirk's shirt is randomly this weird greenish shade and maybe it's the lighting or maybe it's that he put his shirt through the wash with a blue one.

Oo! I Have the answer to this! The command shirts were all green. It's just because of the material interacting with the stage lighting and the color bias of the Kodak film they were using that they look gold. That's why the wrap and the dress uniform are green, they're just made with a different material that didn't interact with the stage lighting in the same way. In original comic series the command shirts were all depicted as green till about halfway through the series (I'm guessing they started getting feedback confused why the comics showed green uniforms when they look gold on tv). There's even two pics on the covers of the comics showing the command uniforms in their true green.

The comic covers vs the wrap and dress uniform:

Startrek.com has an article explaining it much better than I can but here are a few highlights from the article

And the article itself

So yeah, the original uniforms were green actually

Does anyone else find it disturbing that we've lived a lie all these decades?

Just been thinking about Endgame lately...

Ground Zero (4000+ words) by scaramouche Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Marvel Cinematic Universe Rating: General Relationships: Steve Rogers/Tony Stark Additional Tags: Canon Divergent, Avengers: Endgame, Love Confessions, Tony Lives, Steve POV, Canonical Character Death (Natasha), Grief, Happy Ending, Divorced Tony Stark

Summary: In the brief lull between the time heist and Bruce using the infinity gauntlet, Steve confesses his feelings to Tony.

It's not just to have a "do over" that doesn't involve the original cast, it's to cut them out of the royalties. Literally the entire point is to make sure all the money made by Harry Potter goes to transphobes or people willing to work with transphobes.

If you watch it, you are supporting bigotry, hate, and oppression. That's just objective reality. All for a story that you probably have already seen in movie and book form.

i’m going to hold your hands when i say this and i am only going to be kind about it once: ai does not belong in fandom spaces, ever. not in writing, not in art, not in video, not at all. it does not matter how bad you want to see your favourite characters kiss, or how much you need a bit of help finishing a chapter, or whatever.

make friends with artists. commission somebody. learn to draw yourself. ask for a beta read. try a writing partnership. fandom spaces are communities, so engage with them! it is about the journey and the fact that we all love something enough to create and build together about that thing.

spending 30 seconds to kill a tree and get an AI to push out some soulless empty piece of “content” is antithetical to the entire point of being engaged with fandom, and if you’ve taken to doing this you should really reconsider if you belong in these spaces with the rest of us.

had a fascinating english class that resulted in the notes header “the forcefeminization of victor frankenstein”

what the people want, the people get

you see

my professor’s take is that mary shelley is feminizing victor throughout the novel, as a way of flipping gender roles and putting a male character through female experiences.

evidence as explained:

  • victor is creating life. he is putting his health at risk (spends two years with little sleep or socialization) to bring life forth into this world
  • his illness after he is shocked by the creature coming to life is akin to both ‘hysteria’ and postpartum depression
  • he pretty much swoons, let’s be honest
  • henry clerval, a man who has been characterized as manly and heroic, has to chase after damsel-in-distress victor and care for him as he convalesces 
  • afterward, he hides what he did and went through, for fear that others will label him crazy and emotional and not believe him. sound familiar?
  • Victor in general is more emotional than the other characters and is constantly tempering his reactions to not be seen as irrational 
  • the book does not otherwise have central female characters 

Also, Shelley’s mother died in childbirth. It’s interesting, then, that Shelley presents the creation of life as something horrific and damaging. She parallels Victor with her mother.

in conclusion, Frankenstein (1818) by Mary  Wollstonecraft Shelley is one of the first examples of mpreg in English literature 

I was not expecting that last line.

THIS IS THE KIND OF ESSAY WE NEED MORE OF
