fandomsandfeminism:

Ugh. Yes.

I find the Snape/Lily narrative to be really horrific, honestly. The fact that we are asked to feel oh so bad for poor little Snape makes me a little bit queasy.

Because, yes, I do sympathize with Snape for having a rough childhood.

But he was a horrible friend to Lily. He ignored her feelings. He screamed racial slurs at her. He favored the idealized version of her he had built up in his mind over the REAL her (I think it is significant that James’ patronus is a STAG, showing compatibility with Lily; while Snape is a DOE, showing a mimicry of Lily). That idealization and inability to reconcile how his own actions contributed to the failure of their friendship literally KILLED Lily.

I understand that we can show some sympathy for him. Watching someone self destruct their own relationships because of abuse and peer pressure and the tribulations of childhood? That’s tragic.

But then he grows up to emotionally abuse Lily’s son for having a physical resemblance to her husband.

And we’re supposed to feel sorry for him? We’re supposed to think it’s lovely and sweet that Harry names his child after the teacher who emotionally abused him for years? Who emotionally abused OTHER children for years as well?

The fans who sit around and cry about how Lily SHOULD have picked Snape, how Snape DESERVED her? How James was a horrible douche and Lily was a bitch for choosing him? Ugh. No. nno no no no on oonononononononoooooo.

the first time i saw jupiter: Evan Peters Join's X-Men: Days of Future Past as Quicksilver:

bythepowercosmic:

That’s right; Days of Future Past - Not Avengers 2. The news comes directly from Bryan Singer’s twitter feed.

“Before he was an #Avenger,” Singer writes, “he was just a REALLY fast kid. Thrilled to say #EvanPeters is joining #XMen #DaysOfFuturePast as…

I love Evan Peters, but I am side eyeing this SO FUCKING HARD.

“Through a career that has included crotch-grabbing, nudity, BDSM, Marilyn Monroe fetishizing, and a 1992 book devoted to sex, Madonna has been viewed as a feminist provocateur, pushing the boundaries of acceptable femininity. But Beyoncé’s use of her body is criticized as thoughtless and without value beyond male titillation, providing a modern example of the age-old racist juxtaposition of animalistic black sexuality vs. controlled, intentional, and civilized white sexuality.”

I thought it would be helpful to track A.R.G.U.S’ manhunt for Floyd Lawton aka Deadshot so I decrypted their communication logs. Which means I just hacked a federal agency.

I love his little smile.
