A friend of mine on FB wrote this and, with their permission, told me that I could share it. I got more than a bit choked up reading it. Enjoy.
I’m 6 years old, and I’m Luke Skywalker, blowing up the Death Star in his X-Wing and using the Force… until I go outside to play Star Wars with the neighborhood kids, and I’m told I can’t be Luke because I’m a girl. I have to be Leia instead. Nothing wrong with Leia, but she’s the girl. She’s my only option, otherwise, I’m not allowed to play.
I’m 7 years old, and I’m She-Ra, with a pegasus and sword and… and no one wants to play She-Ra, because He-Man is better, stupid girl, duh. No boy wants to play a girl character. Duh. Stupid girl.
I’m 8 years old, and I’m Liono, with the Sword of Omens, telling me the future and defeating my enemies… until I can’t, because I’m a girl. I have to be Cheetara, even though I don’t like to run around really fast. She’s the girl. She’s my only option.
I’m 10 years old, and I’m a Ninja Turtle. I have these cool weapons and know martial arts… until I can’t be, because I’m a girl. I have to be April. She doesn’t get to do much, but she’s the girl. She’s my only option. If the other girl wants to play, she gets to be April, and I’m out, because she’s prettier.
I’m 14 years old, and my father yells at me again to stop being such a girl. Stop being weak. Stop being stupid. Stop being you.
I’m 17 years old, and set foot in a comic shop for the first time, only to be told girls don’t read comics. I must just be trying to impress my boyfriend. I don’t even get to ask if they had that book I read part of, with the beautiful woman who was Death, who saved a teenage boy.
I’m 24, and I’m Jean Grey, the powerful Phoenix, but turned into some weird Scarlet Witch hybrid who must die at the hands of Wolverine, because Logan just needed a little more angst.
I’m 28 and I’m Commander Shepard at the helm of the Normandy, but just having the OPTION of a female player character sends hordes of men into a blind rage, intent on stamping out any joy I might derive from this. I have to mute tons of keywords online and play in friends-only groups if I want to avoid being called a cunt for the sin of logging into multiplayer with a female avatar.
I’m 32 and I get a job running a comic shop. I tell my boss I’d like to have ladies nights. He asks, “But when is men’s night?”
I’m 33 and I’m Rey, facing down Kylo and digging deep to survive, despite being terrified. I’ve been fighting my whole life, though, and I manage to get out of it alive. I spend the next 6 months listening to every other guy who comes into my shop informing me that she’s a Mary Sue and how stupid it was to crowbar her in just for the sake of appeasing the females and pandering to feminazis.
I’m 34 and I get to be a Ghostbuster! My heart sings as I dual-wield proton guns, but when the battle’s over, I have to listen to all these guys trash it and talk about how women just aren’t funny and should stop trying.
I’m 34, and I am NOT MCU Black Widow, who categorizes herself as a monster because she can’t have children, who laughs as her male coworkers make rape jokes at the office party. I am NOT MCU Scarlet Witch, who is a problem for the men to deal with, who has to stay home and cook dinner while they take care of business, because she’s just too emotional.
Today, I’m 35, and I’m Diana of Themyscira, striding across a battlefield as everyone follows her lead. I’ve been waiting for this battle my whole life. Going into the movie, I had yet to see a single bad review, from anyone, regardless of gender. I had heard no one saying the movie was pointless or stupid or just another instance of women ruining everything. There is this tall, powerful, beautiful female hero, and no one is acting like it’s their job to tear her down. I look at the trending topics today, and everyone still loves it. The naysayers are a fringe minority. There is valid criticism, as the movie isn’t perfect. It has some problems, but overall, it’s GOOD. Finally. This is what it feels like. So yeah, I cried. I cried a lot. I’ll probably mist up a lot more times when I watch it. Everyone should get to feel like that.
Reblogging just for that shrug honestly
why the heck are you still watching teen wolf, do you not love yourself??
it’s still entertaining
Everyone who was killed by Thanos/The Snap has been resurrected and are regrouping on earth. Thor is watching everyone reunite, happy for them but quietly grieving his own losses.
Then he gets smacked in the back of the head with a small rock.
He turn around all pissed off, not noticing that everyone’s gone oddly quiet, to see…Loki being a smug little shit.
The other heroes are wary, a few of them taking defensive stances, but Thor just roars and charges at his brother…
…tackle-hugging him.
And Loki probably gives some quip about Thor crushing him and aren’t you worried about your reputation with the Midgardians and do you always have to be so dramatic, brother? but Thor is sobbing so hard he can’t even speak and Loki just sighs and gives up and hugs him back.
Which makes Thor joke about Loki ruining his reputation with the Midgardians and Loki just smacks him tiredly because he’s too relieved to be angry anymore.
(bonus points if the first Loki is an illusion and Thor falls flat on his face and we get a call-back to Thor always falling for that trick from the first Avengers movie before Loki hugs him for real)

I wish you would write a fic where the Sheriff is the one bitten in the woods instead of Scott, leaving Stiles to help his dad make friends with the surly werewolf who can help them.
Oooooo I don’t think I’ve seen an AU like this before. So like, do Scott and Stiles get caught together, and both shoved off home, while the sheriff and his deputies keep searching the woods? Does the sheriff shoot the wolf before it bites him (or after)?
Does he go to Melissa to get the bite looked at, making sure he doesn’t need any shots, before he heads home? On a scale of one to ten, how MUCH does Stiles freak out when he sees that his dad got attacked by a WOLF? “There are no wolves in California, Dad!” “Oh for God’s sake, clearly there was just one. I’m fine.”
And obviously Stiles would be paying super close attention to this bite (because if his dad shows even the slightest hint of pain or infection, he is going to drag him to the ER SO FAST it’s not even funny) and so he would notice super early that this thing healed in, like, a DAY. And he saw that bite, okay? It was not a pretty bite. His dad should still be wincing when he lifts his arm over his head. And he is NOT. The bite is GONE.
Cue Stiles’s research spiral, and the extremely awkward conversation where he has to sit his dad down and say “So I think you might be a werewolf now.”
His dad is very much not impressed. The opposite of impressed, you might say.
They have a fight, Stiles ends up going to the party on the full moon with Allison and Scott (even though his dad told him he couldn’t), and that’s how the sheriff ends up in the woods, shifted, looking for his son because every instinct he has is telling him child in danger, find him now.
That’s when he gets shot at by hunters, THAT’S when Derek saves his ass, and that’s when the sheriff realizes that 1) he is in over his head and 2) he is too fucking old for this shit.
I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SUBMIT that the sheriff would be an awesome werewolf, because Derek would explain anchors once and he would be “oh my family.” Because this man is wearing his wedding ring for nearly 10 years after his wife dies, okay, Claudia and Stiles are his anchor and nothing you say will ever convince me otherwise.
And of course Stiles hangs around during their werewolf training because “screw you, this is my DAD, and I am 100% GOING TO KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS OKAY.”
Derek and Stiles snark at each other the entire time, but training still gets done, and they go out for dinner every night after. AND WE GET OUR WONDERFUL LITTLE AWKWARD FAMILY.
And on the plus side, despite all the wolf stuff and the hunters and having to take the day off every full moon, the sheriff gets to eat as many cheeseburgers and curly fries as he wants now, and Stiles can say nothing.
It’s a good trade-off, he thinks.
Lefties rule!!
I’m trying hard to live by Cat Principles. 1- I am glorious above all things 2- Eat when hungry, sleep when sleepy, play when bored 3- Affection is given and received on my terms and only mine 4- Show displeasure clearly. 5- NO 6- Demand the things you want. If they aren’t given, demand them again, but louder this time. 7- If you are touched when you don’t want to be, say so. If they continue to touch you, make them bleed.
