whenever i use scissors i always have this brief thought of “ohoho man imagine if i accidentally snipped off my nipple”

It would hurt a lot but it would grow back, nipples are one of the few parts of the body that entirely regenerate

U N L I M I T E D N I P P L E S
NO DO NOT TRY THIS AT ANY COST
DO NOT CUT OFF YOUR NIPPLES THEY ARE IN FACT LIMITED

THIS HAS BEEN A PSA ON NIPPLE (LACK OF) REGENERATION.

I’ve officially gone lesbian lol #Astaghfirullah

This is really not funny

This is unfunny and inaccurate – she has US army ranks on her uniform and I very much doubt a female ISIS soldier would dress/pose like that for a picture that might be seen publically

This isn’t funny at all people are being killed….

As a heterosexual male, the picture taken on its own and devoid of any context is something I like.

All the “I’m with ISIS LOL” stuff is asinine though. It’s trivializing the seriousness of how dangerous this terrorist group is and the harm it’s caused to countless people, including women.

Thoughts on Power Girl’s Boob Window Covered

This was brought to my attention a few minutes ago.

I’m not really getting involved in anything DC Comics anymore since DC ruined Harley Quinn with New 52, but I do have some thoughts on this change.

Before I get started, I want to note: someone informed me that Power Girl is wearing the S here because of a big spoilery event that just happened. The explanation behind why she’s wearing it makes perfect sense to me.

Okay, that said, I have mixed feelings. I know why a lot of people want the boob window closed. It’s seen as a very egregious symbol of sexual objectification toward women, because it was created for that purpose. No way around it, that’s why the boob window exists. For people to ogle. One of the key things done with her when she got started was the artist slowly increasing her boob size to see if anyone noticed. All the explanations for what she has a boob window (at least that I’ve seen) have been stupid.

However, I saw nothing wrong with it, really, for the same reason I’m fine with Quiet in Phantom Pain, Bayonetta, Juliet Sterling in Lollipop Chainsaw, etc. There are characters that I think can be fanservicey as long as the fanservice fits who they are as characters. You can’t have a female character opposed to the display of breasts herself displaying them, after all.

You can’t have a female character opposed to the display of breasts herself displaying them, after all.

My overall view is that if the boob window will be kept and attempts are made to justify it, then the simple answer is to follow the pattern of women that want to de-sexualize women going topless in public and make it the same as if men do it. It can be a symbol of resistance to social pressure on women to police their bodies for the sake of others. As long as it’s written well and respectfully, the boob window could be more of a feminist symbol than a symbol of male objectification.

I’m male, so ultimately take this suggestion with a grain of salt. It’s just my thoughts on how the existence of that boob window can be justified as something more than pandering to perversion.

Magneto #14:

  • I fucking hate SHIELD. So is it satisfactory to see Magneto crushing them, and then certainly outsmarting them? Hell yeah. They’re pathetic.
  • Plus, Magneto and Genosha feels. Also, I love how Bunn is choosing to ignore the paternity mess and pretend like it never happened, at…

I think it silently speaks volumes about how stupid and awful the Axis #7 retcon is that anyone other than Brevoort, Remender and the execs at Disney and Marvel is ignoring the retcon. Nothing explicit, but simply pretending it didn’t even happen.

In the case of at least Peter David, it was also a colossal dick move on the part of the Avengers books. Peter David said he was given no indication that there were plans for the retcon out of Axis, he spent all this time building up the family relations only for the Avengers books to stomp all over his work without a single considerate thought sent his way.

I know nothing about what Cullen Bunn does or doesn’t know in that regard, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the same thing happened to him. Whether it did or not, Bunn’s been keenly focused on the goal of telling a good story and making the most of what Magneto has to offer story-wise. My opinion is that he’s ignoring the retcon (at least for now) because the retcon would tarnish the story. Even with the crossover issues, Bunn’s done a great job of writing the issues in a manner that can stand the test of time on their own merits, not bogged down by bullshit Marvel office politics.

My thoughts on All-New X-Factor #20

There’s a lot of nice, bittersweet moments to this issue. I really liked that we saw nothing of what happens with Axis #7, and we got a little bit of final insight into Lorna and Pietro and how they feel about each other as brother and sister. Also as a Lorna fan, I was very happy to see her take Warlock aside and ask him to reach out to Danger. It showed a lot of maturity and empathy on Lorna’s part, both not assuming she could do it herself and in caring about the feelings of “a machine” when I’m sure it would be easy to just accept that statement after the final fight.

So, as a Lorna fan I want to say thank you very much to Peter David for this final issue.

We didn’t see much with Gambit, and I can completely understand Gambit fans wanting more. Honestly, I really wish Marvel had allowed for a final issue that’s double the size, if possible. It feels unfair to me that fans of other characters didn’t get much, and I think that’s entirely due to limitations on how much time and space Peter David had available.

Snow’s origins and purpose were things I didn’t expect. It really makes me wonder what’s going to happen in the future, since it’s obvious Snow must know at least a little something about all the characters and what events are going to take place. The only very minor criticism I have at the moment is that getting all heroes working for Serval seems like something that could never be achieved regardless of plot devices. Snow wanting to do that comes across to me as naive and in conflict with his cunning.

I also kind of expected the team wouldn’t necessarily disband, given Peter David has other books they can be pulled into. I don’t think they’re going to fully go to Spider-Man 2099, but appear in stories from time to time.

Pietro & Lorna in ANXF #20

If Marvel were any good after this we’d have:

-Pietro & Luna at the Avengers. And the issues that come when Crystal wants to take Luna back.

-Lorna struggling with the fact that her relationship with Pietro has gone downhill again.

-Pietro and Wanda talking about how they’ve gotten so out of touch that they’re actually doing things to anger each other.

-Pietro trying to put his life back together despite people not trusting him, and Wanda doing the same. And hell, Lorna doing the same. Not only for themselves and for their teams but for each other.

-And then Lorna, Wanda, and Pietro get some time together. Maybe even fight some crime together. But they get to be siblings for the first time in ages.

But that won’t happen.

Because Marvel sucks. 🙂

ask-thelittleheros:

Pietro: Not really. Dad says he’s good with the one he has now. We’re very photogenic.

Wanda: If you mean extended in school family, then yes. It’s horrifying to attempt a group photo.

Pietro: Last time we tried, we lost Kitty, someone gave Wade a buzz saw and we had to de-spike Logan after Spyke through a tantrum. Weneversawthat camera again.

I’m not excited about Secret Wars at all

Marvel’s track record for big events like Children’s Crusade, Avengers vs X-Men and Axis is to use big events to fulfill personal wet dreams and kowtow to executive whims, all at the expense of actual quality.

I expect all the characters to act horribly out of character. I expect canon to be ignored entirely. I expect material so disrespectful to the source material that I’d get something much better for free off of fanfiction.net.

I’m not a hardcore fan like some people are. I won’t rush out to buy something because it’s published by Marvel. If Square-Enix couldn’t get me to do that after utterly ruining many IPs I love, Disney and Marvel sure as hell can’t. They need to give me a reason to trust them enough to give them my money, and aside from rare exceptions from the X-Men line of books, Marvel has failed with flying colors.
