Fred Rogers ladies and gentleman!

Here are some interesting facts about him:
  • He basically saved public television. In 1969 the government wanted to cut public television funds. Mister Rogers then went to Washington where he gave an amazing merely six minute speech. By the end of the speech not only did he charm the hostile Senators, he got them to double the budget they would have initially cut down. The whole thing can be found on youtube, a video called “Mister Rogers defending PBS to the US Senate.”
  • “Certain fundamentalist preachers hated him because, apparently not getting the “kindest man who ever lived” memo, they would ask him to denounce homosexuals. Mr. Rogers’s response? He’d pat the target on the shoulder and say, “God loves you just as you are.” Rogers even belonged to a “More Light” congregation in Pittsburgh, a part of the Presbyterian Church dedicated to welcoming LGBT persons to full participation in the church.”
  • According to a TV Guide piece on him, Fred Rogers drove a plain old Impala for years. One day, however, the car was stolen from the street near the TV station. When Rogers filed a police report, the story was picked up by every newspaper, radio and media outlet around town. Amazingly, within 48 hours the car was left in the exact spot where it was taken from, with an apology on the dashboard. It read, “If we’d known it was yours, we never would have taken it.”
  • Once, on a fancy trip up to a PBS exec’s house, he heard the limo driver was going to wait outside for 2 hours, so he insisted the driver come in and join them (which flustered the host). On the way back, Rogers sat up front, and when he learned that they were passing the driver’s home on the way, he asked if they could stop in to meet his family. According to the driver, it was one of the best nights of his life—the house supposedly lit up when Rogers arrived, and he played jazz piano and bantered with them late into the night. Further, like with the reporters, Rogers sent him notes and kept in touch with the driver for the rest of his life.

Aziraphale: Crowley, you have to try this, it taste like heaven
Crowley: You say that as you actually know what heaven tastes like
Aziraphale:
Crowley: Tell me you didn’t
Aziraphale: Well..

Remember when the trailer for good omens came out and we all collectively lost our shit over the shot of the wall slam and then we watched the show only to find out that’s not even in the top TEN gayest moments

If I remember right from the book, angels usually have very messy wings because…idk they’re contemplating philosophy a lot, while demons take great pride in being well groomed.

*lays down on the floor facedown* you come into MY house and start TALKING SHIT and expect me to CONTINUE LIVING with this knowledge like I’m some sort of fucking GOD or something

/z,dn;kejhgsjpkry

Because now all I can imagine is Aziraphale at a table with books spread all over because he’s INTO whatever he’s researching/reading, and he’s got his wings open, partially mantled without thinking about it (books MINE), and Crowley standing or sitting on the floor behind him, fingers coated in preen oil, fixing the worst of Aziraphale’s messy feathers while making vacant noises to assure him he’s still listening as Aziraphale explains to him the things he is putting together, or reads him poetry or a good story or whatever, idk, whatever gets Aziraphale really distracted that Crowley wouldn’t mind listening to for hours. There’s probably a Queen song playing softly in the background. Their hot cocoa has gone cold. It doesn’t matter.

Gamora: Owning Her Abuse

I am rewatching Guardians of the Galaxy, and I can’t help but reflect on a beautiful moment Gamora shares with Peter (Who we can tell she can’t help but trust almost right away because he stuck his neck out for her) of vulnerability on Knowhere. Gamora says that Thanos killed her parents right in front of her, despite INFINITY WAR showing that she was facing another direction, and Thanos kept turned her face away from the carnage. 

This is an important distinction for people who came from abusive families. Gamora knows, and owns, that whatever direction she was looking, it happened right in front of her. Some may look at this as a plot hole, but I don’t. To me, it shows that she recognizes that whether you are looking, whether you are in another room or not, if you are witness to abuse, it happened to you. When an abuser slams a door, they are reminding you of what they can do to you. It may be just closing a door, but it is a threat. When an abuser punches a wall, they are doing two things. 

1. Threatening you

2. Hurting themself, so they can appear to be the victim and gain sympathy from you through guilt, and so they can them blame you for what they did to themselves. 

I should know. My father didn’t direct his abuse at me, but at my mother, and I internalized and even replicated this behavior for a time. I often cry when I think of how I emotionally abused some of my former partners, and I work to be a better person every day. 

Gamora recognizes her abuse for what it is, and she is my hero for it. 

Side note, immediately following Gamora’s confession of abuse, Peter has trouble articulating that he was kidnapped because he is still in denial at this point in the story about his own abuse at the hands of the ravagers, and his father (who he didn’t know was ultimately the cause of)

God I love this film, and this universe, my problems with it aside.

Drax: New friends, now that Thanos has been defeated, I have questions. 1, Black Widow, how long ago did you lose your spouse?
Natasha: What? I’m not married-
Drax: -2, Iron Man, how can you call yourself that when your suit isn’t made of iron?
Tony: Oh god, we’ve been through this, it’s just a name-
Drax: -THREE, Captain Marvel, why aren’t you called Captain Danvers? Where did Marvel come from? Is captain your actual rank?
Carol: Drax, just breathe, your brain is going to explode-
Drax: -FOUR. WHY IS WAR MACHINE CALLED WAR MACHINE? HE’S NOT A MACHINE THAT STARTS WARS, HE MERELY TAKES PART IN THEM. HE’S NOT EVEN A MACHINE.
Rhodey: …
Drax: FIVE. CLINT BARTON IS NEITHER A HAWK OR THE EYE OF ONE. DOES HE EVEN CARRY THE EYE OF A HAWK? SIX-

OK OK BUT HEAR ME OUT

*Rocket reuniting with the Guardians after everyone is undusted and Groot is safe and sound*
*Rocket running to the Guardians, stopping short as he remembers…Gamora isn’t there*
*Quill offering a smile, tears in his eyes*
*Quill bending down on one knee to reach the raccoon’s level. His arms move apart, and reach out.*
*Pride doesn’t exist anymore. Scampering on all fours, the raccoon launches himself forward, crashing into his friend’s embrace*
*Quill’s arms lock around Rocket, forgetting about the implants in his back. Hugging him with more force than necessary. Making sure he was real, and not an alteration of reality. Grieving for the family he lost. They lost. Holding on to family they had left.*
Quill: … S'up Trash Panda
Rocket: *struggling to hold back the tears, ears drooping, voice muffled in Peter Quill’s coat* Hey Star-Mulch

im so fucking sick of the dysphoria debate. sam smith comes out as nonbinary and the comments are like “but do you experience dysphoria?????” like what makes you think you get to ask such a personal question? when someone comes out and tells you how they identify thats all you have to know. respect them and move on. the fuck is wrong with y’all

shaggykilledgod

yre all ignoring this post bc yre fuckin cowards who dont want to admit asking a trans person who just came out “but do you have dysphoria?” is the SAME as cis people asking “but have you had the surgery”
