I am – for 99.98% of what counts – a functional adult. I have adulting down to such a skill that nobody thinks of me as anything other than a competent (if occasionally goofy) adult.
And that’s how I like it. Because owning my own shit, the good and the bad, is important. Took me a few years of therapy to get there, but I got there.
But some days? Some days, I really want to hand life – all the adulting shit – over to someone else and say “you take care of this, I can’t deal.”
*looks around*
Yeah. Doesn’t work that way for most of us, no. Dealing’s what’s required.
But for the rest of today? I’m gonna be in the pillow fort. With a book, a teddy bear, and a bottle of wine.
If anyone needs to join me, the password’s SULK.
*joins you with absurd games* yah, just had to break into my own car in the dark and the cold. screw ‘ought to’ and ‘adult’.

You are a flatterer and we will do some things. You can maybe pick one of the plots in my wishlist or just come up with something; let me know what verse you want to be in.
wait but why is everybody mad about cumberbund playing doctor strange?
granted i know nothing about doctor strange like i’m serious please explain
My operating theory is that despite Dr Strange’s comic history (boy from Iowa, whose parents have pretty whitebread names, earns a doctorate in NYC and has POWERFUL magic), there’s a lot of pushback in some of MCU fandom regarding the number of middle-age white men playing leading parts. Dr Strange’s general appearance (black hair, van dyke beard) lends itself to being non-white, and people are afraid of the Cumberbitches (the crazy ones not us sane Cumbercollective) coming in and taking over and being nasty the way they supposedly did in Star Trek fandom. There’s also some pushback against him specifically because of how fannishly popular he is; ‘people’ want someone less well known the way Tom Hiddleston and/or Chris Hemsworth were before Avengers.
is he a poc in the comics tho? is he even shown in the comics?
because if so that is pretty shitty
if not, don’t hate him just because he’s popular haha
like i know khan was supposed to be a poc so that was lame, but to be honest cumberbabe is actually a fantastic actor so like if it’s gonna be a middle aged white guy, at least it’s him. not some shitty dreamy chiseled man candy thing that can’t actually act or whatever.
but yeah it’s always weird seeing someone whos iconic for a different role try to play something else.
its like dan radcliff trying to do anything now, he’ll always just be harry potter. :/
Based on heritage, history, birth location, family names, and artwork, Dr Strange is a white guy in the comics. He is a white guy in the video games. He is featured in a number of comics involving the Infinity Gems, and had his own title for a while.
if that’s the case then why are people making this a race issue???
like there ARE race issues right now, but if this isn’t one then why make it one
i’m confused and i just want to like marvel because yay marvel
The race issue is, quite honestly, because fancasting for the last two years has been Dr Strange played by someone like Jason Momoa or similar appearance (Oded Behr) — and people don’t want to let that go. The belief is that there are too many MCU movies headlined by a middle-aged white guy, and Dr Strange is an opportunity to step away from that.

iamthefirechild said: fuck goals. it’s one day at a time, it’s your goal is make jarvis purr today and collect some kisses from cory and serious fuck goals
I can only do the baby steps thing for so long, girl. Life post-recovery is almost worse because at least before I had something to fight for. Just existing day in and day out is
I don’t even have a word for how it feels
I dunno, this idea of goals just always seemed wrong to me — like you aren’t worth anything as you are right now, and that’s not true. maybe your goals should be smaller but not baby — this month I will learn so much about british history, maybe; or this week I’ll do all the laundry. Watch the entirety of Person of Interest.
