So Astolat has some less than flattering things to say about the new Daredevil series. Okay, cool, some of what she says has merit. Let's talk about that. But she tries to go a little SJW on the show having POC villains (as well as white villains) and that's kinda rich considering...
The fic I referenced, btw, is right here on her A03 page, where Kingpin (as played by the dearly departed Michael Clark Duncan) rapes Daredevil, which means Astolat depicts a black man raping a white man. Yo, how the fuck can you talk shit when you're guilty of the same fucking thing? Astolat should know that depiction does not equal endorsement. Or is it only bad when its a TV show that she doesn't care for depicting such things?

Stupid Daredevil meta
Apr. 25th, 2015 12:38 pmFrom this post on Marvel's awesome Daredevil series:
For another: what the hell is fire to a blind person? You can’t touch fire (without dire consequences). You can’t smell fire. You can’t hear fire. If Matt describes the world as a place on fire, then what he’s essentially describing is a place he can’t touch. That’s — weird and wrong, given what we know of his abilities.
Are you an actual fucking idiot? You can't hear, or smell, or feel fire? Fire cracks and pops and hisses. The heat from a fire can be felt across a room, and you can smell smoke and the scent of the wood or paper as it burns. Fire is a full sensory experience. I realize most of fandom nowadays seems to live in mom and dad's basement and never interacts with the outside world, but for fuck's sake have you never been near a FIRE?!

Cool Dude of the Day: Vampiro
Mar. 14th, 2015 12:59 amVampiro, aka Ian Hodgkinson, fka Canadian Vampire Casanova (no, really) is a wrestler who should've been way more famous than he is. He had the look and the moves, and he also had the misfortune to join WCW during its ignoble descent into irrelevance. He spent most of his career being the biggest deal ever in Mexico, because Mexicans know what's up.
Nowadays, he's doing announcing on Lucha Underground (which is awesome, btw) and he's also a righteous human being. He's active in the Mexico City chapter of the Guardian Angels, a citizen group that patrols the dangerous streets looking out for civilians. He saved a man from dying at a McDonald's recently. And he advocates for the rights of Native Canadians. He's a cool dude and you should know more about him!

Black Sails Spoilers
Feb. 22nd, 2015 11:30 pmBecoming a pirate king in the Caribbean and waging unceasing war against not only the British Navy but society as a whole, in revenge for the persecution of your same-sex relationship and your one true love being confined in an asylum is romantic and tragic as fuck and quite unexpected coming from a dumb anachronistic STARZ show about pirates glowering at each other over mugs of ale and leaping out of the way of cannon blasts.
Adventure Time with Finn and Hideo
Feb. 11th, 2015 09:56 pmFinn Balor, an Irish wrassler known for painting himself up like a demon god, and Japanese wrasslin lengend KENTA, currently known as Hideo Itami (his WWE slave name) are in NXT together, and these two strangers in a strange land are always posting waaaaay too many cute pictures of each other frolicking about in the Florida sunshine.
I totally want a Youtube series about Finn and Hideo going on adventures~ together.

So far as I know, this song is only performed live and no lyrics have been published for it.
She got legs for miles
and a devilish smile
A twinkle in her eye
and impeccable style
She knows her worth
and ain't nothing free
Working these suckers for her salary
Walks these streets
like a ballerina between the sheets
She's the main feature
Hard to get your rocks off
in a two-seater
Cost a lotta loot but
There ain't none sweeter
Take a trick to the top of the world
Never get a kiss outta this little girl
Chorus:
Better look quick
Red light district
Hookers and tricks
Red light district
Give it all to your pimp
Red light district
Roll up in the whip [i.e. a Mercedes-Benz]
What you'll do for a tip
Red light district
Gotta pay the rent
Red light district
Whether it's Amsterdam
or the Sunset Strip
It's the oldest profession
in the biz
For a midnight fix
And you gotta get away from the wife and the kids
And if you say you never paid for the sex
I guess you never took a bitch out to breakfast
You big, big spender
You ain't never bought a ring or a necklace
....
Let's get to the moral of the story:
There comes a time when a man gets horny
And if you don't wanna jerk your own dick
Then take a trip to the red light district
[Chorus]
Make that money
(make it, make it)
Make that money
Go make it, honey
(make it, make it)
Shake it, honey
(shake it, shake it)
Take that money
(take it, take it)

Seth Rollins: Evil Incarnate
Dec. 30th, 2014 05:15 pmLast night Seth Rollins was the heeliest heel since, at least, Edge from 2008. In fact, Edge from 2014 was one of his principal victims. Who would ever have thought that the pretty boy with a lisp in Age of the Fall would become wrasslin's most vicious villain? Somewhere, Jimmy Jacobs is brushing away a tear and whispering to himself, "So proud of my boy."
Sometimes Seth has trouble putting his Cyberfights days behind him.

Finn Balor, Irish wrestling demon king
Dec. 12th, 2014 02:15 amFinn Balor R-Evolution Entrance by irockman_8921
NXT's Finn Balor's (aka indie great Prince Devitt) entrance from R-Evolution. He's not painted up to look like Spawn or Carnage or any other comic book character -- he's painted to look like Balor, the one-eyed demon god of destruction and blight from Irish mythology. FYI.
Incoming Benedict Cumberbatch Wank
Dec. 8th, 2014 12:00 amLet me say for the record that I am not a Benedict Cumberbatch stan. I am not thrilled that he's going to be Dr. Strange, and that he was NOT my first choice for the role, or even my first white guy choice for the role. I am also not looking forward to his stans (the Cumberbitches) invading MCU fandom and the inevitable generic Dr. Strange/any-Martin Freeman-character slash fic that they will produce.
That being said, I am also not looking forward to any rehashing of the "Benedict Cumbebatch's family owned slaves!!!" SJW wank that pops up on Tumblr like a herpes infection. Especially when there's so many LEGITIMATE reasons to dislike Cumberbatch, latching onto his family's history (which he personally had nothing to do with and cannot control) reeks of commandeering a historical atrocity to justify your hateboner for an actor. I have a very big problem with any notion of 'blood guilt' and this reductive way of talking about history and the evils of slavery.

It's official. These guys are just googling their names with "fanfiction" after it and seeing what comes up.
WWE Survivor Series 2014
Nov. 24th, 2014 03:41 pm-- I was screaming at my screen, "CENA YOU BASTARD GO BACK FOR ZIGGLER!"
-- Stephanie screaming like her Horcrux was being destroyed.

-- LOL at Seth's vocal appreciation of the way Luke Harper manhandles Ziggler.
-- Bray Wyatt demanding that Dean "punish" him with the chair... oh LAWD
-- Sting shows up to the Invasion 13 years late.

My BF loves him some Rihanna. Loves loves loves her. So yesterday we were talking about the whole situation with Chris Brown and how he kept winning awards and shit.
BF: How did he get away with that? Big Lurch didn't get away with it. [Big Lurch is a rapper who killed and cannibalized a woman while high on PCP]
ME: Yeah, but they found that woman's flesh in Big Lurch's stomach.
BF: So everyone thinks it's okay so long as Chris Brown didn't kill and eat Rihanna?
Pretty much, baby. Pretty much.

MCU news + spoilers
Nov. 2nd, 2014 09:53 pmIt sounds like we will be getting three different black guys in the next Avengers movie. ( SPOILERS )
Also, everyone on Tumblr freaking out about Wanda and Pietro being 'neo nazis', CALM YO TITS. If you think Marvel is going to portray two of their superheroes as Neo Nazis, then you are an idiot. Yes, an actual idiot. I always doubt that we have anything to worry about as far as Wanda and Pietro getting screen time; "emotionally unstable, incredibly powerful girl in a co-dependent relationship with overprotective male" is exactly the dynamic that gets Joss Whedon's gears turning.

Not Like Other Girls
Nov. 2nd, 2014 09:47 pmThis whole "not like other girls" thing that pops up here and there is the speshulest snowflake thing to ever speshul snowflake. It's not like you aren't a carbon-based lifeform like other girls, you were just a tomboy or you like math. These things are well within the usual range of experiences for women the world over. Do you really think that you have some special character or a depth of feeling unknown to any other girl in existence?
"Not like other girls": assuming that everyone else fits 100% into the role society pushed on them and that you and you alone rebelled or felt unsuited for what the world expected of you. There's always a faint whiff of disdain towards traditionally feminine girls, as well. Let me tell you something -- my BFF is the most traditionally feminine girl I know. She bakes, she knits, she loves horses and romance novels. She's also a biologist with a second degree in math. Another friend of mine glories in all things feminine, and she's a military vet who slept with her M-4 on her bedpost. Don't go assuming that because you aren't privy to our secret selves and inner worlds, that we are without them.
