some things~

[nanslice]

I got volunteered to work on Monday so I get to work every freaking day of the three day weekend, boooooo. One day I'll have a job where I don't have to do this kind of thing! But I'm going to take a different day off next week so it works out. I guess.

I hate what Marvel is doing with the latest Captain America comic line but I also love how fandom comes together when this kind of shit happens. It's like for about five minutes, we're not arguing about shipping or wonky characterization or kinkshaming. Nope, we're all complaining about the bullshit the canon writers are doing. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's an incredibly stupid and offensive move to make Cap a ~secret Hydra agent the whole time~ but. I'll admit to enjoying the outrage that's been living on my dash.

Also, I have an idiot friended on facebook who blamed liberals for Hydra Cap. I have no idea why she's like this. Or why we're friends tbh.

I'm going to try and write a little tonight. I have several prompts sitting in my tumblr inbox for my Sith!QuiObiAni AU and I would like to get something written for at least one or two of them. I don't know if I've posted any of that AU here but I'll have to get on it. it's kind of popular and I don't know what to say about that. ;3;

My friends and I were talking about Hydra!Cap the other day and we all agreed that it just reeks of ~*shock value*~.

It really, really does.

It really does read for shock value. As a Jewish person I have a whole lot of really huge feelings about it, honestly.

I mean, of course! It definitely feels like a slap in the face and I'm not Jewish. I can't believe so many people looked at this and agreed to release it.

Honestly, Marvel is having a huge problem and there's been a huge problem in general where they don't know how to write soft, honestly good people. It's painfully obvious since the Civil War arch in the comics, honestly.

Good, nice, optimistic characters aren't WEAK, but these writers can't seem to grok that. Check out the original Logan in the mini run that Miller/Claremont did and then look at him towards the end? What happened to that "gruff uncle" of the Xmen?

Fuck, what happened to SCOTT?

They seem to have forgotten that these are COMIC BOOKS and want to go in for shock value. It's just like... multifaceted male characters are not a thing anymore.

And it really IS a slap in the face. One of the few places that young Jewish people can see heroes and feel represented was the comic books (FUCK YEAH KITTY PRYDE). They didn't have to go there.
