fallenangelsinthetardis:

Is it alright to ship the Sherlock fandom with the Hannibal fandom? Because what could possibly be better than a large group of psychopaths and high-functioning sociopaths teaming up with each other? It just fits.

#ahahaha omg maybe i should start watching hannibal #the hannibal fandom is so sassy

thesylverlining:

Can I just say how cool it was that both of these superheroines’ personalities and powers were explored in this episode? And how well it was done?

Starfire was not shamed for being emotional. Her powers come from her emotions.

Raven was not shamed for suppressing her emotions. Her power requires amazing control.

They both. Work. They are both different kinds of strength, and they are both heroic and powerful and good. And they each learned from the other, and helped each other out by seeing from each others’ perspective, and finding the value in their differing approaches! Wow!

Fuck yes, this is how you write super-ladies, okay. There’s more than one way to be a “strong female character.” There’s all different kinds of strength. Why don’t more people GET this?

Benedict Cumberbatch deleted shower scene from Star Trek Into Darkness

#HE LOOKS LIKE A CAT GETTING A BATH

Oh so it’s okay for us to freak out over Benedict’s shirtless scene and have multiple scenes of Pine being in underwear but the same people who enjoy those scenes are the ones who are up in arms about this:

Double fucking standard.

Um, does society have a history of objectifying men, to the point where a man’s physical attractiveness is pretty much the be-all, end-all of his worth?

Do male characters ever get reduced entirely down to being pretty? Do male characters, when attractive and competent, immediately get branded as Marty Stus and “pandering”?

Do we have a history of making male characters objects, solely to be acted upon, pretty set dressing for the protagonist to make out with after the battle is won?

Do we, culturally speaking, objectify men’s bodies to the point where naked or nearly-naked big-name actors are the immediate reason a demographic will flock to see a film?

Do we advertise films and video games and the like with scantily-clad men, whose clothing is far from useful in regards to actually doing anything, once again rendering them objects to be acted upon rather than characters bearing their own agency and making their own choices?

Do we, consciously or unconsciously, only consider men in relation to other people “Oh, such-and-such’s brother! Anywho’s husband,” rather than letting them stand independently as human beings?

No.

But we do do all that to women.

The fact that this scene was cut, while Marcus’s scene was not, is massively problematic — once again, a man is an active participant and a woman is the object on which he acts.

In Marcus’s scene, Kirk disregards her request that he keep his back to her while she changes. He objectifies her, and we, as the audience, are meant to do the same.

Considering the consequences of this wide-scale, normalized objectification of women — i.e., the nice guy syndrome, entitlement, rape culture, street harassment — is not at all given any kind of analogous situation for cis men, nor any such consequences, it’s a pretty big goddamn problem that Carol Marcus’ gratuitous underwear scene exists.

Especially in context that this scene was cut.

Murf out.

Street harassment is not a compliment.

Finally someone made a comic about my exact feelings

While this is nice, unsolicited comments on other people’s bodies aren’t always going to be welcome, even if they aren’t inherently sexual. Just something to keep in mind.

On the one hand, Tobey Maguire and Leonardo DiCaprio are the two people I would ship least on this entire planet

On the other hand, I’ve been desperately trawling for Nick/Gatsby fic ever since I read the book in high school English class seven years ago.

So, what if John’s tan did extend above his wrists? Ha! Anyway, yes, this is a digital painting of John Watson (with his bulldog, Gladstone - sadly absent from the show) based on the Coppertone Girl from the original 50s ad. Deepest apologies to Martin Freeman… Well, I’ll probably leave this looking like a WIP, because damn his legs! (MY ART TAG)

"Women are afraid of meeting a serial killer. Men are afraid of meeting someone fat."

Wed, 22 May 2013 21:45:55 -0400

“Women are afraid of meeting a serial killer. Men are afraid of meeting someone fat.”

-
When Strangers Click, a 2011 documentary about online dating.

It reminds me of that famous Margaret Atwood quote: “Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.” It also reminds me of something written by one of the mods of Sex Worker Problems: “Misandry irritates. Misogyny kills.”

I mean, it’s just true.

“Misandry irritates. Misogyny kills.”

That’s it. That’s it right there.
