The Star Spangled Man montage is one of my favourite Marvel moments of all time.
I love, LOVE, how genuinely amazed he is, how Chris Evans managed to give him that innocence and inner greatness and it shows and it’s beautiful. I just adore Steve, he’s fantastic, and I have many feels about him.
Daw lookit his face!

Word of the day

“It’s important to clarify that sex education that teaches about pleasure doesn’t have to teach about technique (though elective college-level sex education that does this is great). Letting teens know that women usually achieve orgasm through the rubbing of the clitoris, whether fingers, mouth, object, or penis, isn’t the same as screening an instructional video on giving good cunnilingus. It’s not the same as writing down the names of sex-toy shops on the blackboard, or handing out diagrams of cool and exciting coital positions. And teaching that lubricants reduce pain and increase safety and pleasure during many kinds of sex should be thought of not as performance advice, but on par with vital lessons about condom use.
Real sex education is not the same as porn education. Instead, it’s about teaching that pleasure is an important part of any sexual relationship. It’s about teaching that there is nothing wrong with wanting to feel sexual pleasure and seeking it out, so long as it is done safely and responsibly. It’s about teaching comfort with one’s body and a lack of shame over desires, and there is more to sex for all people than sticking penises into vaginas. Real sex education teaches how to go about making intelligent , safe choices, rather than just stating the choices available. I believe there is a big difference. And I believe that teaching teens to make smart choices about sex must involve teaching them that having sex, partnered or alone, can be a smart choice”.

So we’re setting up a birthday party for my spousal unit and for another friend who shares a similar birthday and yesterday I was in Target looking at party decorations. And they had a crap ton of Avengers movie themed stuff. Plates, napkins, tablecloth, the works. And it was on clearance, so I was like “Hell yeah, Avengers,” so I started grabbing stuff without really looking at it. I kept glancing at the plates thinking something seemed off, but I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. But then I realized that every single plate, napkin, cup, what-have-you, had every character except for Black Widow.
Yeah.
So I put it all back and got Hello Kitty instead.
Not fair! :(

Send me a fandom and I will tell you:
I’m answering you back on this post because the cross between shipping and Batman was too much fun to resist.
- M/F OTP
- M/M OTP
- F/F OTP
- OT3
- BROTP
- Favorite Canon
- Favorite Crack
- Guilty Pleasure
- Pairing I Hate
Bonus: Favourite female friendship
Favourite male-female friendship.
I send you Batman fandom!
- M/F OTP: Wonder Woman/ Batman (absolutely fell in love with it in the Justice League Animated series and I know the fandom is Batman, but I can’t help it! XD After these guys it’s Joker/Harley for sure. )
- Batman/Catwoman. Okay, so I’m going to I going to disagree with you on this one. I understand that the way they’ve been presented in the reboot may be crappy, but that’s okay, I refuse to read that book so it doesn’t exist to me. These two are my favourite (in a strictly preboot sort of way) and I don’t care about any interpretation of them outside of my own fanon. They have an open relationship, because Selina won’t be tied to any one person and Bruce is already married to Gotham, and they understand and respect these things about each other well enough for this to be okay. These two people are not co-dependent, they just really love each other. They spend time together when that’s what they want and if they’re not together or they’re dating other people, that’s okay too. And lets be honest, they are a pretty attractive couple.
- M/M OTP: You know…I honestly don’t know. I thought about it, and thought about, but I’m not really sure I have one for the Batman fandom. Oo I guess if I had to pick though it’d be Batman/Flash. I blame fanart I saw of them where Batman was all worried over Flash but didn’t want to show it. XD
- Hmmm…this is difficult for me too. I sometimes read Bruce as bisexual in which case I think he had a fling with Harvey…but that’s not a nice relationship. Okay so I read Tim as gay and someone once suggested he should be paired with Selina’s fanon catboy sidekick…and I agreed. Tim/Imaginary catboy it is!
- F/F OTP: Hmm…again I’m not really sure, but if I had to pick it’d be Supergirl/Batgirl. :)
- I’m stuck between Harley and Ivy or Kate and Renee. Can I just have both? Wait, wait I forgot Barbara and Dinah. So many ships so little time.
Batman/Superman/Wonder Woman. They are the DC trinity after all.
- OT3: Gotham Sirens! :D Though more as friends and not as a pairing. ^^; I don’t think I really have
- BROTP: Batman and Superman :D The Batman comic Noel solidified my love of the bromance these two have.
- Dick and Tim…also Dick and Damian…and Dick and Bruce…er yeah and Dick and Roy. I broship Dick with with everyone.
- Favorite Canon: Batman/Zatanna
- Dick/Barbara. I just have a thing for slow burning romances. And they’re cute, and they make a really great contrast to each other, with Barbara giving instructions from the air and Dick fighting on the ground (heh, what reboot?). And I think when they’re being written well they even out each other’s more self destructive tendencies.
- Favorite Crack: Milagro Reyes/Damian Wayne. Again I blame fan art, and I can’t get over imaging how cute these two would be. Plus the whole Batman and Guy Gardner and mentor inlaws would be hysterical. XD
- Damian/Hitgirl. Just think about it.
- Guilty Pleasure: Joker/Harley. I know that it’s cannon and everything, but sometimes with how abusive it is I feel bad shipping it. But the reason I like it is because it feels like that’s really how to insane people like the Joker and Harley would act in a relationship. I also really like how it’s never held up (or doesn’t seem to be) as some kind of prime example of what love should be. In media nowadays it feels like guys who are abusive both emotionally and at times physically, are excused simply because they’re ‘hot’ by the girl and everyone around them. But with Joker/Harley, Harley is always being told how the Joker isn’t good for her, there aren’t excuses given to him and it basically seems more like a cautionary example than a ‘true love’ story. And yet at the same time, I can’t help but ship them as a couple that I genuinely think loves each other! Maybe it’s because Harley tends to give back as bad as she gets at times. I don’t know. My feelings are conflicted. D:
- Batman/Everyone (not in his family). I actually ship Bruce with almost every character in the DCU that isn’t completely inappropriate…and some that are.
- Batman/Wonder Woman- well they were kind of awesome in that one book…
- Batman/Superman- It was the name of their series. And they could do a threesome with Wonder Woman…or Lois Lane…or Lex Luther. Hey, why not?
- Batman/Catwoman- Obviously
- Batman/Harvey Dent- Had a thing in their youth.
- Batman/Sasha Bordeaux- I think I’m the only one that liked that story.
- Batman/Martian Manhunter- Bruce left an Oreo on his grave :(.
- Batman/Comissioner Gordon- There’s that scene in No Man’s Land.
- Batman/Gotham- She may be a city but he’s clearly in love with her.
- Batman/Tony Stark- he’s not even in the DCU, I still ship it.
It’s this weird compulsion I have.
- Pairing I Hate: Batman/Catwoman. I didn’t used to dislike this one, but there are just times I really don’t feel like he respects her at all, he seems to constantly try and force his ideals onto her, and in the new 52 from what I’ve heard the balance of power is totally in his favor. I don’t know, I just really fell out of love with the pairing for some reason I think. Other than that though any of the Batman/Robin pairings really creep me out. Especially the ones done with younger Robins like Tim Drake. O____O It just scares me.
- Anyone I count as family. Batcest is wrong people! Okay so I kind of get that they’re adoptive family, but I have a very big incest squick…and that extends to Dick and Earth 2 Helena and Cass and Tim…sorry shippers. Plus I just like their dysfunctional family hijinks. Apart from that Batman/Joker is…again I do get that there’s an unhealthy level of obsession between these two, particularly on the Joker’s side, but it’s mostly classified by the Joker wanting to drive Batman insane, which doesn’t exactly lead to happy funtimes.
- Steph and Cass: I know these two are also a popular ship, but I’m starved for good female friendships, and I love them so much!
- Bruce and Zatanna. I think when Bruce is being written well he has a lot of very good relationships with women, and I have a particular love for his friendship with Zee. There’s a lot of sexual tension between these two admittedly, but also they’ve known each other since they were children (at least according to Paul Dini) and I think they value their friendship as is. I also like the gender reversal in that Zee comes on to Bruce and he’s the one that says he’d prefer them to stay friends.
