Could we finally have our own Sweet Dreams lipstick like Peggy?

ZACK SNYDER STEPS DOWN FROM ‘JUSTICE LEAGUE’ FOLLOWING FAMILY TRAGEDY!

Zack Snyder has announced that he will step down as director of the ‘Justice League’ movie to be with his family after his 20 year old daughter committed suicide. Joss Whedon has already been announced to step in and finish the movie in Zack’s absence. Snyder had already finished filming and a lot of post production work so the final product will still very much be a Zack Snyder movie. Our thoughts are with his family.

Live Fast Die Young Bad Girls Do it Well

I went to see Atomic Blonde and I’m having the same kind of bombed out, obsessive reaction of “is this what it’s like to see someone like ME kick ass on screen? is this why men are so confident?” that some of my girlfriends had to Wonder Woman. 

I enjoyed Wonder Woman (other than the disastrous and cheesy 3rd act) but it was really difficult for me to identify with her- she’s naive, idealistic, super heterosexual (for a Patty Jenkins film), largely untouchable/unhurtable, and she’s also honestly kind of dumb: most of the movie is just men telling her not to do something, and she does it anyway, but only succeeds because she’s brute-forcing with DEMI-GOD POWERS in a world of mortals. 

Atomic Blonde on the other hand is about a cynical, world-weary, haunted, non-heteronormative woman who actually has to actively WORK to survive: the stunning action sequences really show how much more effort she has to put in and how much she has to use her brain to survive brutal hand to hand combat with men who are bigger and stronger than her and outnumber her in every single encounter. She takes her licks and they show- the amazingly gorgeous Charlize Theron stumbles around half the movie covered in bruises and scars.

One felt like an action figure and the other felt like a woman like me. I think that Wonder Woman is a great role model for young girls, but Atomic Blonde is a movie for all those women who, like me, have taken their licks and fought tooth and nail in a world of men who actively make it hard for them to succeed at every turn. It’s about fucking time. 

Either Crowley is alive or the Spn writers are more shit than I thought:

Crowley isn’t dead and here’s why.

FIRSTLY - LET ME TACKLE THE SPELL:

“But the spell needed a life”

~1.~ IF this is true, and that’s a big if (I’ll get to that “if” later) WHY WOULD CROWLEY SACRIFICE HIMSELF. Crowley is WAY smarter than that and would find ANY way to complete his plan without it involving his own demise.

Eg: He values demons as pawns and he uses them as such. This scenario would have been no different. Crowley would have gotten any demon and used them for the spell. And don’t try to tell me “Crowley is weaker tho cos he’s cut off from the throne and isn’t really king anymore” because before he was king (and was just a regular demon) he killed an entire nest of demons (5.20 I think) just to spread a rumor. I’m sure capturing any low rank demon would have been easy for him. OR EVEN EASIER, CAPTURING A HUMAN -but anyway, I doubt the Winchesters would have allowed that so he would have just gotten a demon and sacrificed it.

~2.~ Secondly, do you seriously think Crowley would sacrifice himself FOR THE WINCHESTERS OUT OF ALL PEOPLE? LITERALLY OUT OF ALL PEOPLE? THEM??? The same two have repeatedly tried to kill him? No matter how much he’s helped? The same who threatened to kill him in the same fucking episode and stabbed him in the fucking hand? Although there has been this whole weird storyline written for Crowley lowkey having a fondness for them (1 which was only really written in an attempt to get more of the mainstream fandom to like him) (2 which is totally out of character but moving on), he’d never fucking sacrifice himself for them ever, even if it did mean taking out Lucifer. If it’s not a world he’s living in, why would Crowley bother? That’s not his character. Which therefore makes it implausible for him to sacrifice himself for the Winchesters or “the greater good”.

~3.~ Now for the IF part.

“There needed to be a life taken for the spell.” You think Crowley couldn’t just lie about that? He’s lied before and lying isn’t exactly the hardest thing.

“Why would he lie tho wyd?” Crowley said he didn’t want to be king anymore. He was not only sick of people coming for his throne, but just demons in general and the Winchesters trying to kill him/get him killed. He was sick of dealing with all their problems and just getting shit in return. He was sick of it all and didn’t want to deal with anymore trouble. For me of course, to completely wipe yourself off the radar (as has been done by many other characters in different shows), you fake your death. And he fakes death in front of the ones that bother him the most - Lucifer, Castiel and the Winchesters. If they think he’s dead, they won’t come for him and they’ll finally leave him in peace. And it seems logical to me and him because it worked THE PREVIOUS TIME HE FAKED HIS DEATH.

“But Crowley glowed and everything!  You know, Crowley faked his death once, I’m sure it wouldn’t be too hard to do it again. I mean… he already did this: 

- a lil glow is child’s play in comparison.

“He stabbed himself with an angel blade!” You know you can make replicas right? Fake knives? Yeah I’m sure it wouldn’t be too hard to make a fake angel blade nor would it be that much trouble to stab yourself when you’re technically already dead (in the human sense).

More proof: Is Crowley dead? Nah. When Mary and Lucifer went back, I didn’t see his body anywhere… SooOOOOOOooo.

“But now he’s in an alternate dimension!” BUT he’s alive. Which is more than what I can say for Castiel. The portal opened to the alternate universe, it can be opened again. And, Bobby’s there, so I’m sure Crowley will have that company back that he’s always missed ;)

BUT IF Crowley is really dead, once and for all, then this is just showing HOW FUCKING SHIT the writers are. Because not only is it EXTREMELY OUT OF CHARACTER, but it makes zero fuckin sense.

Wonder Woman Needs Our Help

I don’t normally make posts like this, but I feel like this is something I need to do because it’s bigger than myself. So, I don’t know if you’ve heard but the Wonder Woman film comes out June 2nd… And if you didn’t know that, there’s a reason for it. Warner Brothers aren’t spending money on promoting the Wonder Woman film. No tv promotions, billboards, nothing. A film about a strong, powerful, amazing woman superhero directed by Patty Jenkins who happens to be the first woman to direct a superhero film with a female protagonist and one of only a handful (a literal handful… you can count on one hand) to direct a superhero film at all. They are setting it up to fail so they can say “I told you so” and not only continue the blatant sexism in the film industry but blame it on Patty if the movie fails, setting female directors up (whom are already told they won’t get hired) so they can have an excuse to say “Oh well, we tried hiring a woman to direct a film and it didn’t work. Lets not do that again.” This film is bigger than just being a superhero movie… It has the ability to bust open the glass ceiling of Hollywood to tell them that yes, superhero movies about women do well and yes, women can not only direct blockbusters but they can do it well. Because I can guarantee you, Patty does it well. PLEASE spread this around and let Warner Brothers know we aren’t going to stand for this bullshit. GO SEE WONDER WOMAN JUNE 2nd!!!

Not spoiling anything but there are like five after credit scenes in GotG 2. Reblog to save a life.

Hello, may I ask for a ship Xmen or Avengers (if you cant think of 1 for Xmen, I hope it's fine to send in a link for the info) please and thank you. I hope the length is fine (sorry if its long, it's easier for me to write it detailed & shorten if need be, then vice versa), if not, let me know and I don’t mind shortening it. Here is the link to the tumble blog , I hope it works. Here it is, shortships(.) tumblr(.) (com) (without the parentheses). Also, I don’t mind being patient and waiting.

Hi! I ship you with Professor Charles Xavier and I think you’d be best friends with Peter Parker.

Charles Xavier would be captivated by your complex personality and compassion for others. He’d be incredibly understanding of your sensitivity and needs due to his abilities and would be able to act accordingly. You both are compassionate, caring, supportive, and loyal people who adore reading and learning. These similarities would be a fantastic foundation for a relationship to be built on. Charles would do his best to ensure that you understand that he is there for you and that you’re safe. He’d love to try the foods you create and would be delighted by your love of reading. Since he knows you enjoy reading and cooking, he’d probably gift you cookbooks frequently. You two would most likely start up a book club to help share your love of reading. Also, Charles would love to hear you sing and would adore your photography. He’d encourage you to pursue these hobbies further and would most likely hang your photographs up everywhere he can (with your permission of course). You would be very helpful for strategizing for missions due to your ability to detect loopholes and Charles and the others would be extremely grateful for your assistance. Charles would do his best to put you at ease whenever public speaking is necessary or when you must go through a large crowd. If you had a panic attack, Charles would be able to calm you down very quickly. On quiet days, the two of you would often be found cuddling together underneath a pile of fluffy blankets. You would be super supportive and understanding of him on his gloomy days where he finds the world’s thoughts and feelings overwhelming and would know how to act when that’s going on since you are familiar with how loud the world can be due to your sensitive and highly empathetic nature. You’d both probably get married to each other one day and have or adopt some children. Overall, I just feel like you and Charles would be a good fit.

Peter Parker would be your best friend because he understands what it’s like to face insecurities and guilt. You two also share a kind, caring, loyal, perfectionistic, sensitive, and witty attitude. Peter and you would discuss technology, photography, video games, and books together. You and Peter would also watch films (except for horror) and anime together. The two of you would go places together with the sole purpose of photographing everything you see. He’d probably get you to help him fix up a gaming console he found in the dumpster so that you two could play games together. He’d enjoy eating your food creations and would like hearing your singing. The two of you would often be found in his room playing a game or assembling a jigsaw puzzle while being wrapped in a huge fluffy blanket with a mug of tea. When your mental illnesses rear their heads, Peter would be supportive and understanding. He’d ask what he can do to help and respond accordingly. He’d try to show you how much you mean to him and would be there for you to the best of his abilities. If you ever found yourself in a situation involving heights, Peter would reassure you that he won’t let anything happen to you and that you’re safe with him. When Peter needs advice, he’d probably come to you due to your shared perfectionistic and caring attitude. You and Peter would make great buddies due to your similarities.

**Also, sorry for the delay in getting this up for you! Life got really crazy and then I got sick for a bit. Also, you sound like a really lovely person! Sorry to hear you’ve had a rough go at it. ❤️

Us too.
