hhhhhh random anxiety why, where is this coming from
and if the answer is seriously “because Marvel is doing stupid shit with comics Loki” (with an unrelated side of “this fic refuses to write itself”), then I have a follow-up question, which is, WHY IS MY BRAIN LIKE THIS
you know what I like? how original flavor female Loki was often drawn as kind of a typical Sexy Comics Lady with a lot of cleavage but when modern Loki takes on a female form in Agent of Asgard she still looks like a skinny somewhat androgynous goth mess, which is honestly as it should be
reblog if you think the norse god on the right is just as beautiful as the one on the left, et cetera
I posted a gif of this earlier but here’s another #ECCC picture of me with a life-size Lockjaw at the #MoPOP booth (at Emerald City Comic Con)
My newest custom, and a birthday gift for @veliseraptor: Funko Laura Kinney! This was a fairly simple one, made using a Jessica Jones head, a repainted Mohawk Storm body, and some of the claws from a Wolverine action figure I randomly picked up ages ago at a thrift store. (They did not especially want to be glued onto somebody else’s hands, but I eventually prevailed.)
We joke about Steve’s patriotism as his strong suit, but his actual strength was his sense of moral right. His whole philosophy is summed up in the line “I don’t like bullies” in the first movie. Steve loves his country. He loves it enough to be at the front of the line trying to fix what he sees as moral wrong in it.
steve rogers is patriotic in the most real sense: he represents the concept at the core of the american ideal, the concept of freedom that is the reason our political system is designed to adapt and alter itself for constant improvement.
he is not loyal to any momentary leader or agenda, and when those leaders and agendas stand contrary to his core ideal of self-determination and freedom from oppression, he’ll speak up without hesitation.
honestly, i never would’ve thought captain america would be my favorite superhero, but he’s the activist i aspire to be.
Captain America is loyal to nothing but the dream.
The problem with Captain America’s image in the public mind is that people recite the first line of his byword and ignore the last part :
“My country, right or wrong; if right, to be kept right; and if wrong, to be set right.”
“This nation was founded on one principle above all else: The requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree besides the river of truth, and tell the whole world—
—No, you move.”
Steve Rogers is a radical and that’s why I love him.
I'm a defeatist but I don't have to be
