We will both be fully vaccinated and after the safety window, so @moofable and I will be there!
It feels weird committing to splurge on a trip to a non-convention but honestly after the year we've had... and having missed everyone and everywhere we expected to see in 2020.... we could use a low-stakes, low-pressure group socialization endeavor.
In my head I keep thinking of WisCon people gathering at the Concourse on Memorial Day Weekend as the "Wis-Non-Con".
WisNon.

New copypasta dropped.
So many gems on this account. Such rich Mall Ninja energy.

Combination here of "we will galdly follow back Tuesday for a follow today" with "the lurkers support me in email".

I just got into Witch of the Vale yesterday and so many of their lyrics live rent free in my head.

"Look how love has held you down."

"You hurt me, I'm not feeble. Now you know we're not good people."

"In the land of gods & monsters I was an angel, looking to get fucked hard."
"The river told you to drown, and I agree, I know you well."

"Please, someone stake me, bury me, put me in the ground, someone find me a God who will burn this down."

"I wish you could love me, I wish I was worthy,
of something more than the way this will end."
"As the room grows narrow and airless, no traces left behind, you build the fortress you die inside.

Withdrawal of the self, isolation by design,
you build the fortress you die inside."

I feel like the fact that John Walker was a high school sports hero underscores the problems with the government's idea that you can just take a "peak condition" human and put them in a superhero suit and have them do superhero stuff.
Like, how many high school athletes manage to stay in "perfect physical condition" through a prolonged period of putting their physical abilities to the extreme test?

Without a magic superpower potion, they'd be going through Captains America really quickly.
There's a lot of stuff that makes me go "whuhuh?" about The Falcon and the Winter Soldier but the idea that the government would want "a new Captain America" to do the stuff that Steve Rogers, unaccountable loose canon superhero, did and not the comic book cover stuff?

I just saw someone saying that Philip "swallowed his pride so his wife could lead".

He didn't have a choice there? If he hadn't done that, she wouldn't have been his wife. He "swallowed his pride" so he could be the prince consort and be part of a sitting royal family again.
Like there wasn't a point where he had to make a choice between declaring himself The Rightwise King of England or stepping back and letting the actual heir apparent take the throne.
And if you're thinking about "Okay but think about how hard that must have been on him."... I mean, why are we wasting sympathy on any of them, but any gendered expectations that made it "hard" for him to "accept" a subservient role also fell on his wife.

Headline: Phoebe Waller-Bridge...

me: 😍

Headline: ...joins Harrison Ford...

me: 🤨

Headline: ...in Indiana Jones 5

me: 🥱
I guess at least they aren't going with the Chris Pratt idea.
Now if I heard that Phoebe Waller-Bridge was *writing* the next Indiana Jones movie, it would be you had my curiosity but now you have my attention dot gif territory.

Patrick Stewart saying "It really happened, there's the proof" in Charlie's Angels (2019) of him photoshopped into the previous two movies has the same energy as Don Cheadle in Iron Man 2 saying "Look it's me, I'm here, deal with it. Let's move on."
It's really interesting to me that they decided to bridge the continuities in that way, because the earlier Charlie's Angels movies obviously aren't "canon" to this one because the Bosley he's replacing in Charlie's Angels (2000) died between films.
But this is honestly my favorite approach to canon: "broad strokes" continuity where you can assume that all the Broccoli Bond films pre-Daniel Craig "basically happened" in the universe of each new film, except where that's now impossible.
