Like, I could come up with a bunch of examples of Thor being hella smart, but let’s go with the most obvious one in this movie.
Thor specifically told the Guardians NOT to go to Knowhere. He told them they wouldn’t be able to stop Thanos from getting the Reality Stone anyway, and knew 100% that he needed to be more powerful to face him.
Not only was he right in the sense that, with Stormbreaker, he came super close to defeating Thanos with all 6 Stones, but also, if the Guardians had all gone with him to Nidavellir instead, Thanos wouldn’t have captured Gamora, he wouldn’t have found the Soul Stone, and he would’ve had to face the Avengers AND the Guardians on earth with one less Stone.
Moral of the story: Thor is INCREDIBLY smart and 100% knows what he’s doing, and people need to start paying attention to him more.
Hey, my name is peyton, Im an 18 year old autistic transkid who lives with my parents. I have been in and out of hospitalization recently, and my mom has had to pay out of pocket for medical and mental health appointments for me because she does not have any insurance. My family is already low income because my mom is the only one who can work. Its so hard for me to find a job or work because of how much help I need, I have even tried to go to interviews but nothing has worked out. The normal bills we already have on top of all of the medical bills we have had to continue treatment for me has put us into massive amounts of debt. Around the 5th, a 30 day pay or quit notice was posted on our door. I didn’t know it was this bad but we are running out of time to pay our landlord fast. We’ve been doing anything we can, I’ve been looking online to find resources but nowhere has called me back. I don’t want to be homeless. We have enough problems as it is and I don’t think I can make it through this on top of everything else especially when I know this is my fault.
Our rent is a little under 1000 dollars. I don’t expect much at all. I know people see posts like this all the time but if anyone has ANYTHING at all even a few cents to spare, I’m desperate. I want to fix this. My paypal.me is here paypal.me/peytonpewpew
I’m not sure how other sites work. (Please ignore the dead name I just want to be called Peyton) I don’t know if anyone wants to see the notice I’m paranoid that people will see my address but if you need to see it please lmk
TLDR: I’m going to be homeless soon and I need help. Please reblog if you see this.
Only 2 people have donated and I appreciate that so much but please reblog. Me my family and pets WILL be homeless 30 days after the 5th of Aug. If I can’t somehow pay 800 dollars I already talked to the landlord and she doesnt care. Please help.
No one has eaten for a day and a half lol
I’m running out of time fast and only have received a handful of donations please reblog
“Fanfiction,” you begin, a slowly growing smirk on your face, and I feel embarrassment creep up on me. I know what’s coming. “Isn’t that all just weird gay dude porn?”
I know it’s coming, and every time, I am unprepared. I stutter out a few ashamed sentences, things that sound unbelievable to you, an outsider, but I know for truth. “It’s not all like that,” I say, “Some is really good,” I say.
You laugh, and continue with a different line of conversation.
But despite the hot embarrassment, and shame, and resolve to hide it deeper, I still feel… pity for you. For what you’ve missed.
Because…
Yeah, I have written gay romances. I’ve explored the first meeting of a lesbian couples. I’ve pieced together sweet little anecdotes of different gender couples. I’ve looked at the slice of life of friends, of siblings. The comforts of queerplatonic partners. The dynamics of polyamory.
That’s just what I’ve written. And I haven’t written much.
But I have seen.
Different points of view, emphasis of different characters, rewrites of canon because damn it they deserved better. Alternative-universes of every colour, from the most mundane of coffee shops to crossovers to complicated and intricate high fantasy and science fiction scenarios.
And I have felt.
I have giggled at the realistic and hilarious banter of close friends. I have gasped in horror as an antagonist throws down my hero, putting them in their final, most desperate hour. I have cried tears upon tears as my favorite has lost all they hold dear. Sometimes I’ve felt more strongly with fanfiction than when reading published novels.
And it’s. All. Free.
Drabbles 100 words all the way to novels and series of two hundred thousand, three hundred thousand, half a goddamn million words and more. Emotionally moving, distress inducing, tear jerking, joy bringing, take your pick and flavor and go for it, free of charge.
So… yes.
I pity you.
You don’t know just what you’re missing out on.
This is important ❤️
Thank you to all you amazing fanfiction writers! You’ve provided me with hours of entertainment (and feels)
Fanfiction today actually gets treated the exact same way sentimemtal poetry and proza got treated by the modernists
Like, the main problems writers like Hemmingway had with this kind of literature was that it was
Not cool, not focussed on action instead of emotions, too long, often female authors, too much focussed on social issues…
“In 1966, Ronald Reagan was elected governor of California on a promise to “clean up the mess at Berkeley,” which he described as “a haven for communist sympathizers, protesters, and sex deviants.” Reagan got the school’s president fired, attempted to cut the educational budget, and, in 1969, ordered an armed confrontation with student demonstrators who were protesting the war. Officers opened fire with shotguns and tear gas. One student, a bystander, was killed. Another was permanently blinded, and 32 were hospitalized with severe injuries.
On May 1, 1970, President Richard Nixon told an audience at the Pentagon: “You see these bums, you know, blowing up the campuses. Listen, the boys that are on the college campuses today are the luckiest people in the world, going to the greatest universities, and here they are burning up the books, storming around about [the Vietnam War].” Three days later, the Ohio National Guard opened fire on student protesters at Kent State University, leaving four students dead and nine wounded. On May 15, local police killed two black students and left twelve more wounded during a demonstration at Jackson State University in Jackson, Mississippi.
Somehow, despite decades’ worth of counterexamples, the American mainstream remains convinced that campus activists represent a unique threat to public safety and civil discourse.”
