“you’ll scare guys off with that feminist crap”
oh i’m sorry
you’re right
the kind of guy who has problems with me demanding that i be treated as his equal is totally the kind of guy i want to be in a relationship with
my mistake
No, I’ll scare DUDES off with my feminist crap. And that’s a good thing, cupcake, because bail money and lawyers get expensive, and body disposal is really fucking tedious after about the third one.

dear people who keep making bad superman movies:
look, i get it: superman as a character can be pretty hard to make an audience relate to because he’s, you know, a super man! he has the powers, we know not of them, and while the interesting angle on superman is definitely his humanity y’all keep getting that really wrong, like shamefully wrong, but it’s okay, i understand, it’s hard to write, the shadow of the great christopher reeve movies, shhh, shhh. it’s gonna be okay, let me explain you a thing, there’s an easy solution, you just make this movie:
we open on a twelve year old lois lane in the aftermath of a FUCKSHIT CATASTROPHE. something disastrous has gone down — maybe it’s a massive oil spill, maybe it’s a situation reminiscent of the erin brockovich scandal, this is just a vague concept sketch, fill in what you want. the important part is: it’s a big bad corporate fuckup of the sort that we’re all too familiar with these days, and it’s got lexcorp written all over it. our first introduction to lois is watching her get approached by a patronizing, downtalking reporter and, all of twelve years old, step up to the fucking plate and take him and the company to task in the public eye. she’s the most poised and professional and pissed as fuck twelve year old you’ve ever seen, and she knows her facts, too. the reporter is impressed, but not as impressed as we, the audience, are as we watch her reign back her fear and do whatever she can to help her family, friends, and community.
sharpcut to a guy in a dead run down a back alley; he’s sweating and looking over his shoulder, clearly being chased. the camera pans out to reveal a daily planet logo — because, hey guys, the year is 2013, so the planet’s a 24 hour news network* now. you can argue new york times parallels all you want but the truth is that if superman’s looking for a job where he can a) be apprised of what’s going down with maximum speed and b) have an excuse to be on the scene immediately? then in this day and age he sure as shit ain’t working for print media; fight me. and you know what else, maybe clark’s a fucking camera man because he’s not actually great at reading or writing news because YOU KNOW WHAT MAKES CHARACTERS RELATABLE AND INTERESTING TO HUMAN BEINGS IS FLAWS, F L A W S, THAT IS THE THING YOU KEEP FORGETTING AND IT’S WHY SUPERMAN MOVIES KEEP BEING PAINFULLY BORING, ugh, whatever, moving forward.
You know, I haven’t even SEEN the movie yet, and this pretty much summs up my entire problem with pretty much every Superman movie or tv franchise ever. And it’s why I never got into Supes as a comic book, either. He’s not human, he’s not even metahuman, idealized human, or human-mutation. How can I relate to a guy who will NEVER be concerned with the things I struggle to overcome on a daily basis? Nah.
Even the Avengers are easier to sympathize with, and they’re like out there, man, like Pluto.

I have so many ships you could call me Admiral.
So. Avengers ships; yes please to most of them. Actually, there are some writers who can get me to read ANY ship they decide to write, because they’re just that good, but as with any fan, I do have my favorites, Unsurprisingly, they all kind of revolve around Steve.
(I was like that in Harry Potter fandom too — all my favorite ships had Harry on one half of the slash, and while I would read others, I didn’t particularly go looking for them.)
In Avengers, both MCU canon, and the various comic hashes, rehashes, boots, reboots, and WTFs, there is just so much room to play that I cannot be arsed to invest all my interest in one dynamic.

Please blow your mind.
Scare yourself with how crazy brilliant you are, darlings. Yes, I really mean that.

Art woes…
I really want to paint today. Got some new brushes, itching to play with them… but dammit, I want to PAINT, not draw. I don’t have anything that’s paint-ready. Even taking an old pic and transferring it, stretching the paper, and waiting for it to dry would pretty definitely outwait my urge to get out the pigments.
I used to paint and draw every day, back when I had Underhill Arts going, and getting the brush-urge was just a matter of shifting a bit of stuff in the studio around. Now it’s a major production to even get set up to paint anything, and as I discovered with the last painting I did, my current crop of cats tend to walk across my drying watercolors… or sneeze all over them. Yeah, I don’t even know what that was about, but seriously, a cat walked through the paint tray on the way to walking across the drying painting. It was like they KNEW or something.
And I’m so uncomfortable with the tablet for drafting it’s just ridiculous. See, when I draw, I turn the sketchbook all over the place to facilitate my hand getting the angles and control I want — you just can’t DO that with a tablet, so while on paper I can make things look pretty damned good, on a tablet, it looks like I’m trying to draw with my feet. (Obviously, there are people out there who are hell of skilled at that very thing. Those people are not me.)
So… wah. I want to paint, I probably won’t because it’s too much of a hassle. Pooooooor me.
