A bit o' this and that (CA:TWS, Tumblr, and a movie rec)

Can anybody hook a girl up with a high rez picture of the Winter Soldier's file from Kiev?

In lieu of payment, gaze upon Anthony Mackie's beautiful eyelashes.



A Sam-centric fic is coalescing right now. For my WWE peeps, I'm also working on the next chapter of The Maelstrom's Cup, which should be out soon-ish.

I get so much secondhand embarrassment when I go on Tumblr looking for pics (okay, Tumblr gives me a LOT of secondhand embarrassment for a lot of reasons), but especially when I see posts and reblogs about "weaponized femininity" and "eyeliner so sharp it could cut your basic face off" and fantasizing about ruling men with their sexuality. There are not enough eyerolls in the world. Tumblrina, you are 14-years-old and you spend 20 hours a day on your Tumblr. You ain't running the streets in your stilettos, if you can even walk in them, and men are not video game characters that can be controlled if you find the right keysmash.

I Netflix'd the movie Angel Heart, starring Mickey Rourke pre-uglification, Robert Deniro, and Lisa Bonet. I thought it was shockingly good, very beautifully-shot and the scenes in New Orleans filled me with nostalgia. If you're looking for a noirish horror movie on Netflix Instant, highly-recommended.

I also Netflix'd Political Animals for SebStan, which was good, as well as a couple episodes of Gossip Girl, also for SebStan, which was so bad that I screamed due to the burning in my eyes and backed out. Sebastian, I know you had to pay the rent, but you didn't have to stoop so low. You could've come to me, we could've worked something out.

Tumblr goes on SebStan's instagram and calls him "asshole" and "garbage" and other things that are apparently Tumblr's version of a mating call. Some Tumblrites protest this behavior. Now people are debating whether or not BEING ROMANIAN MAKES SEBASTIAN STAN A POC and if so, whether this behavior COUNTS AS RACISM.

Gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes back. Cross-eyed.

Calling him a POC is absurd for the reason that he's quite obviously white. But it's actually refreshing to see acknowledgement that intra-racial ethnic prejudice exists, even if the nuances are lost on Tumblr.

I hoped for more acknowledgement that it's fucking gross to go on someone's instagram (or twitter, or other social media) and call them "trash", "hooker", etc. It doesn't stop being harassment just because he's male and famous. SebStan apparently made reference in an interview to some of the things people were saying about him, and instead of being "teehee he knows about us!" his fans should be ashamed. Yeah, he knows about y'all; he knows y'all call him a cum dumpster on his instagram.

I'm not surprised. Parts of fandom have been engaging in outright harassment of male celebrities for years. It's one of the reasons I've never gotten into Supernatural fandom despite watching the show for nine years.

Quite a lot of SebStan's so-called fans seem to believe he's gay too - despite the fact that he's dated only women and that he's played so many gay characters, it wouldn't make sense for him to be in the closet if he was gay. His fans are going to go apeshit on his next girlfriend.

Well, of course. If he's gay then his fans aren't competing with some icky girl with an icky vagina for SebStan's affections. From what I can tell, SebStan usually sticks with one girl for several years at a time, so it's not like he shows up at premieres with a beard on his arm to put on an appearance for a night.

It's not like logic plays any part in this, though, as there's a big segment of tinhat Supernatural fans who still believe the lead actors are sekritly in gay-love with one another despite both of them being married to icky girls and having babies with them.
