It’s Crazy How Many People Just Don’t Understand Why A Lot Of Aro And Or Ace People Don’t Like

I've had this idea for a post-endgame au where, instead of living with Peggy and abandoning both Bucky and Sam, Steve goes back in time, has a long talk with her where she allows him to open up about everything emotionally and then convinces him that him living out the life he does have in the future is worth it, and that she's happy. This causes Steve to still quit being captain america and still give the shield to Sam, but now he fakes his death to get completely out of the radar of whatever HYDRA agents are left, plus the government, and operate as the new director Fury-type figure for the new age of avengers.

Since the Sam!CA suit has primarily white as the base color, I decided to keep the blue for Steve. It's meant to look like he took the suit he wore in IW (the Nomad suit) and stripped the armor, the stars and stripes, and adopted golden yellow as an accent color. I tried to make a lot of tie-ins to other characters who would definitely be important to Steve (like the stars on his collar representing people he's lost, almost like he's carrying them with him.) since he seems like the type of person to do that, especially now that he's no longer being the representative of patriotism and isn't isolated solely to the classic costume due to other people deciding what he's be wearing.

The gloves are both a reference to the original "The Captain" suit

And a reference to the HYDRA Arm Bucky used in Winter Soldier and Civil War, with the dark red star only on one had while the other glove only has an embossed star in the leather.

The pattern on the back is low-key a nod to Steve "turning his back" on the old ideals of Captain America, since he's been burned by the US government enough to fully distrust them and believe their way of working is wrong (sokovia accords, anyone?), but its also a nod to Sam "having his back" (I love puns in character design)

The thigh holster was purely fanservice (for me, i am my biggest fan, that's why i highlighted his chest with the faux-corset design and highlighted his massive cake) and in-universe i think Bucky would've fought for that to be a part of Steve's costume.

I'll probably do more with this au in the future but i'm a little tied-up with doing sound mixing for Newsies JR right now and also balancing writing my own batfam x reader for the first time.

Holy shit. The Israeli whistleblower story CNN just broke is insane. I cannot believe what I’m reading

Trans man Bella Swan

trans boy swan who still wears a lot of his old clothes because he doesn’t really know what other style he’d like

tboy swan wearing his skinny jeans with one of Charlie’s shirts because his dad noticed how the form-fitting Pinterest girl clothes make him uncomfortable. Then later him wearing Edward’s hoodies on a regular basis.

tboy swan who gets along with Jacob because Jacob had a gender crisis a while back before understanding that he’s most comfortable as a man. The two are inseparable, literally “brother from another mother” behavior. Edward is forced to get along with Jacob despite the fact that Jacob behaves like a feral little brother when Edward comes around.

Tboy Swan who gets along the best with his female friends simply because they don’t see him as “the trans classmate” and only see him as their boy swan. Sure, he likes his male friends, but they’re more interested in getting him to join the basketball team and he doesn’t vibe with sports.

Tboy swan who takes a good while to figure out what he wants to be called. Sure he knows the basics: he/him, boy, but he couldn’t for the life of him pick a name so he just goes by “swan” in school. It takes him being in a relationship with Edward for him to finally decide on a name.

Bowen Swan who decides on a name and then nonchalantly brings it up to Charlie that night as if it’s no big deal (like father like son) and then Charlie buys Bo a cake to celebrate (maybe he even invites Edward over with the condition that they keep the door open, the same rule Charlie applies to all of Bo’s friends)

Bo Swan who buys his first binder with Alice’s help (she needs this boy to stop wearing the most middle-aged man clothes ever) and then they go shopping afterwards for new clothes, which, to Alice’s utter dismay, match Charlie’s style still.

And like, them apologizing doesn't change the stuff about Steven belonging to a homophobic church and using Watcher to promote it, and it doesn't change the employees and spouses going on Personal Attacks towarda upset fans on other platforms, it doesn't change the comments of "We love when people tell us we got them through hard times " in the same video as making it so people going through hard times jo longer have access to them as a respite. Removing the paywall doesn't change them, subconsciously or consciously, thinking of poor fans as Worthless and Lesser, and unless they actively work at dismantling these notions in their minds They'll Do It Again. They showed, very clearly, that Fans Are Numbers And Not People to them. That Fans are this abstract concept of Praise and Adoration and Money that exist just to serve their endeavors. That's not something you can change your mentality around in 3 days- that's something that needs Active And Purposeful Dismantling Within The Deeper Psyche. And to be quite frank I don't believe they'll be willing to do such work, because it's not Profitable to remember that Your Audience Is Real People, Not Numbers.

my favourite genre of images right now

Listen,

That is all, thank you for your time.

Clark, lamenting the fact that he couldn’t go near the priest without getting sick to lois and wondering if he’s actually been possessed this entire time: Lois I Gifgifddfduicgvhhoj *existential sobbing*

The priest who collects shiny green rocks and puts them in his pockets: ooh shiny green rock, score!

no because the way he’s holding her so gently like he’s worried he might hurt her (because he saw what her body went through when sekhmet was in control) (possibly even afraid to let himself be selfish?) compared to the way Annette pulls him in so tight like she doesn’t want to ever let him go, possibly because she’s sick of losing the people she loves and the trip to the spirit world made her remember just how precious life is for them. Their stories are paralleled in the way they hold each other.. I hate this show.

The way they hold each other is everything 😍

I am ashamed of my darkest kin. I have to keep it a secret. Nobody would ever understand such a twisted kintype
