Its 4th Of July. On Account Of America Being A Raging Dumpster Fire I Dont Think It Should Be Celebrated

It’s 4th of July. On account of America being a raging dumpster fire I don’t think it should be celebrated right now (an argument could be made that it never should be celebrated honestly). So I am happy to announce that I will be acknowledge today as Steve Rogers birthday and nothing else. Happy birthday Steve!

Infantilization of Matt Murdock in Fanfiction

Ok so this is something that I’ve seen in a lot of fan fiction and it always rubs me the wrong way. I’ve read many fics where another character (Frank, Clint, Bucky, Steve, Foggy, Sam etc) call Matt “Kid” or “Boy” or talk to him like he’s a child using nicknames like “honey’ or “sweetheart” and it just is really icky to me. Matt is an adult man living on his own! These characters never call another abled character these names. I guess what i’m saying is if you’re writing a fic and you want other characters to call him that please think about it in the greater societal context. Disabled people are so often infantilized and stripped of our agency. If you do put something like that in there have Matt react to it. Have him be mad at the infantilization, just something. As someone who get infantilized a lot due to my autism its exhausting and frustrating and it makes me want to scream.   

Queer Marvel Head canons

In celebration of Pride Month these are all the marvel characters I head canon as queer! 

Steve Rogers: Gay

Thor: Bi (this mans sexuality is scientist) 

Bruce Banner: Gay trans man

Natasha Romanoff: bi-demiromantic asexual 

Clint Barton: aroace trans man (marvel missed an amazing pun by not making him aroace) 

Peter Parker: Panromantic asexual trans man

Carol Danvers: Lesbian

MJ: Bi

Loki: Pan genderfluid (the Russos robbed us!) 

Bucky Barnes: Gay

Shuri: Lesbian

Valkyrie: bi

Peggy Carter: Bi

Matt Murdock: Bi

Foggy Nelson: Bi nonbinary (seriously what cis person names themself Foggy)

Karen Page: bi transwoman 

These are just a few. Honestly I have decided that every marvel character (with the exception of like 2) are queer because I can. These are just my personal head canons if you don’t agree thats fine. 

Reacting to TLAT Reviews pt1

I saw Thor: Love and Thunder last night and my friend @marvelvibess​ just sent me these hilarious reviews of the movie. They are too good not to react to honestly. 

{Image description: A post by user Logan Ory one day ago. There are 5 stars one is yellow the rest are white. It is light gray text on a black background. The text reads: Lots of gen Z jokes at an ADD pace with enough “woke” garbage to annoy even the most moderate of people. Humor was largely tasteless, action was good but few and far between, and the only really good character/character development was the villain. This movie is about as trash as a Marvel movie gets. They have not ceased to disappoint lately. Taika Waititi usually puts out great films, this was not on of them. End Image description}

As an ADHD gen Z I loved that “ADD pace!” This movie isn’t for you Logan its for the queer neurodivergents and I love it for that!  

{Image Description. Review by Rachel Tooley one day ago. There are five stars one is yellow and the rest are white. It is light grey text on a black background. The text reads: Chris Hemsworth is the only good thing about this movie. Watched every single Marvel movie and this is probably the last I’ll support. They’re ruining the MCU with their whole agenda. Whats the point of saying a rock is gay?? First off, 2 MALES can not procreate, second, its a rock, Why do they have to just shove and shove and shove LGBTQRSTUV down everyone’s throats. Go woke, go broke. End Image Description}

Ok so I love this one. First of all literally every marvel movie ever made has a political agenda. The comics do too! The mutants/X Men are an allegory for every minority. Caption America was created by two jewish men to fight Nazi’s in a time when nazi ideals were pretty common in the US. Marvel has never been apolitical.

Second I love how hung up on Korg being gay she is. First off Korg is gay, married to a man and has kids in the comics, its literally cannon. Second these movies involve: gods, aliens, genetically enhanced super soldiers and a man that can turn big and green and she’s mad about a gay rock??? Bro literally nothing in these movies are realistic, but unlike hulk, and super soldiers we know queer people exist. 

{Image description: Light grey text on a black background reading: Dare I say the “inclusiveness” may have seemed forced and unnecessary? Maybe the studio/producers/actors had too much to say and interfered with creativity, or Taika was trying too hard, I don’t know? End image description}

Karen diversity isn’t forced people just exist. Also it was talked about so naturally there was noting forced about it! Unnecessary! Bro do you know how excited I was to see queer people like me on the big screen!!! Good representation is always necessary! Also Taika was working hard. Working hard to give us the queer rep we want and deserve.

Season 3 and Matt’s Fake Death

I know a lot of people say that Matt was an asshole at the beginning of season 3 for not telling Foggy and Karen that he was alive after Midland Circle. When I first watched it I thought that too but now not so much. 

Let’s set the context. The beginning of TD makes it clear that Karen and Foggy aren’t talking to Matt after season 2. Which means that Matt has been totally alone for months. Not only that but they both said some really shitty things to him during and after the Castle trial. 

Then he finds out that The Hand is back and they’re going to destroy New York City. He does what he has to and dawns the suit again. He brings in Foggy and Karen to keep them safe and they give him nothing but shit for “relapsing” (I have Thoughts™ about them comparing DD to an addiction but thats for another post) despite the fact that he’s trying to save lives.

So of course he doesn’t tell them he’s alive. For the last idk six months they’ve done nothing but abandon and belittle him because of Daredevil. At the beginning of season 3 he says that Matt Murdock is dead and only Daredevil (the part of him that his friends hate) remains. Do you really blame him for letting them think he’s dead?

Literally all of this! There is not enough NB Foggy content and we deserve more. 

Non binary Foggy Nelson thoughts/headcanons

-They came up with the nickname foggy when they were little (I know in the comics Matt comes up with it but in the MCU they’ve been using the name since before Matt)

-They came out when they were really young, just by telling their family and everyone else that they aren’t a boy

-because of this their family is super accepting, it’s just part of everyone’s life

-they just have a word for it now

- they are also bisexual

-they are terrified to come out to Matt because he’s catholic

-they have a pronoun pin and are slightly relived at first that Matt can’t see it because they don’t know how he’ll respond

- They are constantly trying to subtly bring up queer topics around Matt

- It does not work because Matt can hear how fast their heartbeat gets whenever they talk about it

-He can also tell how uncomfortable they get when someone calls them “he” but he doesn’t know why so he only ever calls them Foggy

- Foggy comes out to Matt in like their second year of law school

-they come out as bi first and then non binary

-Matt doesn’t fully understand but is super supportive

-Because of everything they talk about Matt realizes that he’s also bisexual and likes He/they pronouns

- when the NB flag is created (2014) Foggy is so excited and they immediately gos to get so many of them to hang everywhere

Bonus

-Karen and Marci are also trans :)
