Avengers AU – If Tony was Peter’s biological father
Tony is super protective of his son. And Peter, inspired by his dad, becomes Spiderman anyway (his dad and his Uncle Rhodey figure him out in a second though).
Any story claiming to be a deconstruction of fairy tales but has nothing to offer except new types of violence, more explicit sex, and a general attitude of “lol happy endings aren’t real” is like. such a cultural waste of time tbh
know what actually is a good deconstruction of a fairy tale? Shrek. It fucks up just about everything in a normal fairy tale and still manages to have a happy ending with a good message and never once has to be ‘gritty’ or ‘dark’. It’s actually really well done.
“The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist; a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain.”
– Ursula LeGuin, ‘The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas’
update: my knee AND lower back* hurts now, WHAT A SURPRIIIIISE *(I also tend to lean forward too much towards my screen which is also… not good.. best part is I’m still doing both the leaning AND the knee-crossing as I’m typing this)
look I don’t want to tell anyone what to do but if you go down that path you will wake up a thousand years later and all your great-grandchildren will be dead
‘the dress. you’ll have to put on another one before meeting the children’ ‘when we enter the abbey our worldly clothes are given to the poor’ ‘what about this one?’ ‘the poor didn’t want this one’
all seven children bursting into tears at dinner while Maria sips her tea
‘God bless whats his name’ (ten minutes later) ‘KURT! that’s the one I left out! God bless Kurt.’
maria passive aggressively praying about Liesl as she climbs through the window
tbh Captain Von Trapp dragging everyone around him at every possible moment like
‘you flatter me captain’ ‘oh I’m sorry, I meant to accuse you’ *AIR HORN SOUNDS*
‘I’m not finished yet!’ ‘OH YES YOU ARE, CAPTAIN.’ … ‘FRAULEIN’
liesl rolling her eyes at kurt during the blueberry/strawberry scene
honestly the love story I didn’t quite get as a kid but I’m SHOOK
when the baroness is trying to get the captain back on track but he just interrupts her and is like ‘there’s no use’
BUT WHEN THE BARONESS SAYS ‘well, she’ll never be a nun’ the look of SHOCK on his face like it honestly never occurred to him that Maria was in love with him too
so of course hes like ‘I must find her and kiss her immediately’
Von Trapp ripping the nazi flag in half like YES BINCH
THE MOST UNDERRATED SCENE THOUGH IS AFTER THE NAZIS RUN TO THEIR CARS TO CHASE THE VON TRAPPS AND THE SCENE SWITCHES TO THE TWO NUNS
‘reverend mother, I have sinned’ ‘I too, reverend mother’ *they both hold up coils from the nazi’s cars*
