You like spaghetti, George? I like spaghetti. I like board games. I like grabbing a trifecta with that long shot on top... that ozone smell you get from air purifiers... and I like knowing the space between my ears is immeasurable... Mahler's first, Bernstein conducting. You've got to think about all the things you like and decide whether they're worth sticking around for. And if they are, you'll find a way to do this. And what if I don't? Then you go away, and you don't get to like anything anymore.

I Met You On LJ
A Fandom & Nonsense Podcast
Longtime friends Maggie and V met twelve years ago through a mutual fandom -- and they haven't agreed on much since, except for their love of loving things, writing fanfiction, and each other. Join them as they chat about their passions (and gentle ribbing of the other's passions) and discuss the ins and outs of fandom's past, present, and future, from LiveJournal to Tumblr, AO3, and beyond.

i don’t trust people who think the office is the funniest show of all time. really? still? in 2022 you think this? you don’t have any new quotes to quote yet???
1) Supreme Court draft opinions do not leak. Ever. It is unknown and unprecedented. It just does not happen.
2) Supreme Court clerks are generally right-out-of-law-school graduates and if whoever did this gets caught they will never be allowed to practice law. No state bar is ever going to take them. Their legal career is done for. This person risked their entire future.
I hope the court can’t prove anything. May we never know their name.
One of my main issues with captain Carter is that she basically has steves back story but she isn't him not i don't mean this in a fan boy type hater way but it feels like an empty title with her . While characters like Sam and Steve the current caps actually feel like the mean something and their impact is shown.
I just feel like she should have stayed in the past and Steve should have been allowed to move on in a better way
It feels empty because while we see Steve care about other people we don’t see that with her. She’s completely self-centered which wouldn’t be a problem if she was framed accurately instead of the ‘female Steve’ because she’s nothing like him.
Ep1 of What If is my least favourite episode and clearly the one they didn’t put any effort in. It basically gives Steve’s quotes to her, they replaced Bucky and every scene he has with Steve so they could shoehorn her into the story and it’s all about her physical strength when Erskine in TFA had made it abundantly clear that he chose Steve because he was a good man, not a good soldier.
The difference between her and Sam is that we do see him basically act like Steve in many occasions: in TWS when he’s willing to get back to the fight in order to stop Pierce and Hydra, when he joins Steve to help him find Bucky even though he’s not sure Buck is salvageable, when he’s the first to speak up against the Accords or when he gives orders to Steve in the airport. Sam’s worthiness of the shield and mantle is not about his physical strength, it’s about him being a good man who’s willing to defend and protect everyone else.
What we see in Peggy is that she thinks she’s superior to everyone else and in order to prove that she kicks ass and gets involved in the fight… but do we ever hear from her what her political stance is? We don’t.
All this not mentioning Marvel’s obsession with shoehorning her character over and over again even at the expense of Sam. At this point I’m starting to wonder if they’re going to include her in the 4th Cap movie as well, replacing Bucky perhaps. It wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest…
for anyone who is currently panicked about the Supreme Court overturning roe v. wade:
it hasn’t happened yet.
what was leaked was an initial draft of the majority opinion: it’s the first indication of what the supreme court are leaning towards voting and why. (and by the way, these never get revealed to the public during current cases. this is a huge deal.)
“Justices can and sometimes do change their votes as draft opinions circulate and major decisions can be subject to multiple drafts and vote-trading, sometimes until just days before a decision is unveiled. The court’s holding will not be final until it is published, likely in the next two months.” (X)
it is vital that people understand that it hasn’t happened yet. and don’t get me wrong: this is still very bad. my point isn’t to give people a reason to stop caring. my point is, armed as we are with this leaked information, please please contact your state officials. support abortion rights initiatives as well as you are able.
send the Supreme Court every message we can that making this ruling would go against the public’s wishes. turn public favor vehemently against them.
this hasn’t happened yet. do not resign yourself to this future. do not panic. do not give up.
The Court isn’t stupid. They know there’s conversation around packing the court. My guess? This is to see how pissed off people would be.
They do this? Make it clear that we will call for packing the court. Make it clear we will overturn it through every possible medium we have. Make it clear that this single decision will make the rest of their tenure–which is effectively their entire lives–a living hell.
