A Re-Con Essence: Avengers (Leverage AU)

Nick Fury is the security advisor to SHIELD Corporation and CEO Alexander Pierce’s best friend. When Pierce informs him of a potential take-over due to stolen plans and secrets from the company, Fury comes up with the idea of stealing them back. He gathers exceptional people from the unspoken fields to form a unique team of cons led by Captain Rogers, a good man out for revenge from Hydra International for his past. When Fury discovers a dangerous twist to SHIELD’s situation, he is taken out and the team he brought together is put in danger. In the face of threat, this team of loners and cons decides to fight back. To con those who conned them. One win leads to the idea of doing more and the cons decide to use their skills for something more than just money. They decide to avenge those who have been conned by the powerful. They decide to be the Avengers - criminals with an essence of justice. After all, a little re-con hurt only those who deserved to be hurt, right?

I told you all that I would do an Avengers version of Leverage :P

who’s stopping them

Lesbians who say they’ll never date a girl that has touched a man. People that say bi girls will cheat because they’re bi. There’s so much biphobia not only with straight people, but in the gay community

my lesbian friends who told me they were “high-key disappointed” when i started dating a cishet boy. my ex girlfriend who asked me “wait weren’t you gay” and then when i explained i was bi went “um. ew lol”. the whole “gold star lesbian” bullshit. can we face the biphobia in the lgbt community instead of shoving it under the rug lol

Teach boys about periods

My mother also talked about periods to my brothers.

When I first got mine I had terrible cramps. Crippling cramps. I once was camping with my family and a few of my big brother’s friends when my period came. My cramps were so bad that my mom gave me a full pain killer ( I was 13 and before that she only gave me pills cut in half).

I literally laid down on my parents’ air mattress and cried in pain for an hour before the pill kicked in.

My brothers friend came in to the big tent and I was just curled up and sobbing. Now, I was quite the tomboy and was known to rough house with my brothers and their friends and made sure I wasnt seen as just “a little girl.” So my brother’s friend was confused to see me openly weeping in the fetal position (seriously, these were the worst cramps I have had in my life. My vision went white). He asked what was wrong with me.

My big brother stood up immediately and suggested a nice long hike. During this hike I am sure he had a pretty awkward conversation with his friend explaining menstrual cramps, because when they got back the pain pill had (mostly) kicked in and I was sitting up at a table when my brother’s friend sheepishly asked me if I was feeling better. I said I was better, and he said good.

When we made s'mores that night my brother and his friend kept me well supplied with chocolate.

Making sure sons know as much about periods and menstruation as daughters makes them better brothers, better sons better fathers, and better men. A man that understands a period will not lightly accuse a woman of “being on her period” if the woman is in an argument.

Raise better sons Teach them about normal bodily functions.

No but really. Deadpool 2 was dripping in queer culture. It’s not just the scenes between Wade and Colossus or Wade and Cable. It’s not just the inclusion of a wlw couple who are happy, healthy, and completely unsubjected to the male gaze.

It’s the real villains being conversion therapists weilding Christianity as a tool to abuse children. It’s the X-Men universe as a metaphor–sometimes for racism, sometimes for ableism, sometimes for other forms of oppression, but in this movie it’s specifically treated as metaphor for queerphobia.

It’s that fucking soundtrack. That soundtrack is queer culture as fuck. It’s every moment of macho hypermasculine competence porn and slow-mo action that would normally cater to the power fantasies of a straight cis male audience being undercut by a heartfelt pop ballad…or Enya. Or Dolly Parton. And ending up more dramatic, more cinematic, more awesome because of it.

It’s the most heartfelt moment in the film basically being Deadpool giving a real, sweet, kind It Gets Better speech to Russell. It’s the most sweetly romantic “het” scene in the film ending with Vanessa pointing out Wade’s obvious attraction to Colossus.

It’s poking fun at gritty grimdark storytelling, at macho storytelling, at lazy writing, at the superhero genre in general.

It’s the feeling you get when watching it that every single moment which could have been construed as pandering to a straight cis male audience’s desires was hunted down and subverted intentionally at every stage of this film’s creation.

Deadpool 2 is Queer Culture. Happy 20Gayteen kids. *throws confetti*

yes this, this is 100% accurate amen.

*aggravated fistbump* This movie was not subtle and I for one am 100000% here for it.

Also the fact that the “It Gets Better” speech leaned towards “there’s bad people in the world, but there are more good ones that bad ones” and not the usual “There’s bad people in the world, get used to it” is queer culture

It’s about time people realize that Trump is dehumanizing immigrants and turning them into a nonexistent enemy.

So if Trump cares so fucking much about the families of victims of violent crime, is he going to have Heather Heyer’s mother come for a press conference? How about the families of the victims of the Portland Train Stabbing? How about the families of the victims from the Charleston Church shooting? How about the family of Trayvon Martin? Michael Brown? Philado Castile? Eric Gardner? Tamir Rice? Sandra Bland?

Or mention how immigrant populations in the US have lower crime rates than, and undocumented immigrants are a full 25% less likely to commit homicide than, born-citizens.

No, because the truth doesn’t matter in the face of fascist propoganda.

this is the most overtly fascist thing trump has ever done holy fuck

Every time I reread the Hunger Games trilogy I become more furious about the movie representation.

These books were about an indigenous woman (with a brain injury in book 3) living in poverty overthrowing a corrupt white government.

She was demisexual, had stomach hair, was not even remotely romantically driven (and canonically didn’t even find romance until after she had finished a revolution.)

And Peeta was disabled and physically abused as a child and they both suffered from mental health problems and the parallel between the Capitol and the ruling rich was so very transparent.

And I’m seeing fun coloured makeup in stores labeled “Capitol colours from the Hunger Games”!

These books were about the revolution of the most oppressed taking over the extravagance and elitism and decadence of the ruling class while citizens starved.

These books were a parallel to our current social dynamics, they were a call to arms. They were a battle cry for the impeding ruin of the rich white ruling class.

And the movies portrayed them as a fantasy, a romance story, a cute little tale. When the real story in the books was one of strength and upheaval and shifting paradigms and revolutions.

And like…… the death of a young Black child sparked the rebellion.

When Katniss thinks about running away in the second book it is the memory of Rue that makes her decide to stay and “cause all kinds of trouble.”

That is an indigenous woman deciding that the death of a Black child is so horrific and unacceptable that she needs to start an entire uprising about it. That is WOC solidarity.

Then again, when Katniss is talking with Peeta about not leaving he literally, canonically and verbally SAYS it’s because of Rue.

The movies did not lend enough weight to the injustice and violence that Black women face; they didn’t waste any time in deciding the rebellion came from their White Katniss’s determination to overthrow the Capitol.

The movies purposely and aggressively erased all of the racial oppression and power and dynamics that were so apparent in the books.

They made Katniss white, they made Gale white, they erased Peeta’s amputation, they seriously diminished the PTSD both of them faced (which was actually one of the more accuract accounts of PTSD I had ever read in the books), they drastically lessened the weight and importance of Rue’s death.

Anyway, fuck the movies. The books are miraculous. Right down to the respect of survival sex workers. Right down to the power imbalances of society being set in the hands of a violent old white man who has surgery to appear younger.

The author said these books was based on her interpretation of kids’ experiences in war torn Vietnam and Iraq. None of these kids were supposed to be white.

This is true! The zoo where I volunteer (the illustrious Columbus Zoo & Aquarium) was one of the pioneers of this program.

Our zoo is known for raising cheetah cubs. Cheetahs have a terrible infant mortality rate and cubs are often rejected, so we get a lot of cubs to raise from all over the country (other zoos and sanctuaries, mostly).

The cubs are placed with a puppy friend when they are wee and small, so they grow up together like littermates. They play together, wrestle, and the dogs (yellow Labs) are so calm, friendly and well-socialized that the cheetahs take behavioral cues from them. When they meet new people, or go into new situations (which they often do, as ambassador animals for cheetah conservation), they check out if their dog friend is feeling chill - which he is - and then they know it’s okay for them to be chill, too.

Basically the dog is a service animal for them.

The cats need their dog friends less and less as they get older and more comfortable, but they still often hang out as grownups.

Our zoo does cheetah runs, where the cheetahs get to chase a lure and show off their speed. Often they’ll have one of the cheetahs run (we have like twelve cheetah), and then they’ll have one of the dogs do the run to show how much faster the cats are. People get a kick out of that. The dogs…let’s just say they try their best.

Omg I’m crying, this is so beautiful. 😭

With chronic illness, even if you’ve accepted that you’ll never be healthy there’s still recovery

There’s recovery from bad flares

Recovery from being normal people sick

Recovery from invasive procedures

Recovery after you stop a drug because the side effects were too much to bear

Sometimes there’s recovery from other health problems that can be treated

Recovery from certain symptoms that affect you the most

Mental recovery from people not believing you and treating you badly for your condition

I think recognising these helps me to be more positive - I might not be recovering from my whole illness, but I’m recovering from another serious health problem that kept me bedbound in hospital for several months and that still counts

Recovery from a lot of the rhetoric we have been taught about disabled folks and chronic illnesses.

Recovery from grieving the life you thought you would have before your illness.

Recovery from feeling like you can never be happy or have fun again.

Recovery from depressive episodes brought on by your illness or people’s relations to it.

Recovery when you find a new way of doing something you thought you couldn’t do.
