Letters from Mars: Fic: Playlist (gen, Tony/Pepper)
Sometimes I have thinky thoughts. Sometimes my thinky thoughts turn into fic.
Tony likes to make an entrance, hence the theme music. He likes to think he chose well, something inescapable and iconic, pulse-pounding and head-turning, and it gives him a morbid little kick that everyone seems to…
I’m sick of following my dreams. I’m just going to ask them where they’re going and hook up with them later.

so i just got back from the halloween dance at school. i was Gumshoe. only one person actually knew who i was.
HELLO PERFECT GUMSHOE OH MY GOD
ADORABLE
HEY PAL.
Remember how in the movie, Steve Rogers uses transparent touchscreen computer to do the reading and watch the video on his new teammates?
He can use.
A goddamn.
Microwave.
Dude, I was born in 1985. I am in graduate school. I can work a touchscreen computer. I have been around technology my entire life.
I can’t work the damn microwave.
Can we please make a distinction between overgeneralization and realism?
Word.
I think the problem we’re having here is that people are acting as if NOTHING HAPPENED between scenes in the movies, and between the movies himself. Yes, Steve can work that fancy tablet (I sure as fuck couldn’t). but somebody probably showed him how to. I don’t think he went straight from the ice, to the gym, to sitting in a Quin and tapping around on a glass sheet while Coulson stares at him and writes Mrs Philip J. Rogers in his mental Trapper-keeper.
When I moved to America from New Zealand (which despite all hobbit-y appearances, does have some form of electricity and running water), I was a lost puppy for about two years. Everything was new and weird and bizzare and people had to show me how to use it. Like the self-check at the grocery store. Like drive-thru ATMs. I still can’t work my girlfriend’s smart-phone. I had never even touched a laptop until about 6 years ago.
I still can’t make Sweet Tea without a recipe. AND IT’S LITERALLY JUST TEA AND SUGAR.
So jesus christ, lay off Steve, and lay off the people that write him as struggling, and lay off the people that write him as capable. LAY OFF EVERYONE. Because change is hard, and I only changed hemispheres. He traveled through TIME.
There has to be some kind of happy medium. Steve is not an idiot, but he’s also not going to know how to work an iphone, fly a Quinjet, use a microwave or program a VCR unless someone sits him down and shows him how. He’s a smart guy. Show him once, and he will pick it up fine.
And for the record, I still don’t use self-check at the grocery store. Fuck that shit. It’s scary as hell.
10 Reasons Why The Addams Family Is Awesome(ly Feminist)
1. Anjelica Huston was 40 when she played Morticia. Considering that it’s very hard for women over 40 (who aren’t A-listers) to get lead parts, that’s already a milestone. But she’s also sexy. Incredibly sexy. Yes, she’s playing the mother of a pair of preteens, but she appears immaculately (and eerily) beautiful in every scene she’s in. How often do we see a mother character who is genuinely sexy?
2. Morticia and Gomez Addams are famously in love with each other. What set the 1960s series apart from all other sitcoms was that this was a married couple who were crazy about each other, instead of fighting. In the film, this tradition of their great love affair continues. There are no mother-in-law jokes, both take responsibility in raising the children, and have a very healthy sex life. So many stories have the love story end at marriage, or have the couple grow to loathe each other over time. Just think of it - a loving marriage was groundbreaking.
3. Addams Family Values explicitly challenges conformist WASPs at the Summer Camp that Wednesday and Pugsley stay at. The siblings absolutely refuse to compromise themselves and pretend to be happy or to enjoy sickeningly sappy things (like Annie the musical). The camp counsellors show favouritism to the traditionally attractive blonde white rich kids, and it’s made quite obvious how hateful and hypocritical they really are. At the end of the movie, Wednesday and the other “outcasts” deliberately sabotage the counsellors’ tremendously racist Thanksgiving play by symbolically enacting revenge for the genocide that Native Americans suffered at the hands of white people.
4. Despite the Addamses having two (older) children of each sex, it is the girl that gets the good parts. That doesn’t happen very often at all - other examples of media that has two siblings of each sex almost always emphasizes the brother. Christina Ricci’s sarcastic and deadpan portrayal of Wednesday is one of the highlights of an already perfectly cast set of films. It contrasts sharply with the cheerful Wednesday from the TV version, but I can’t be the only one longing for more sardonic brunette girls in family movies…who aren’t the villains.
5. The climax of The Addams Family seemingly has a damsel-in-distress situation…except that it’s been turned on its head. Morticia…enjoys…being tied up and tortured. Yep kiddies, here’s your first introduction to bondage and BDSM! It’s played for laughs of course, as it always is, but notice that when Gomez and Morticia discuss her predicament, it’s with absolute passion. Their kinkiness is just another aspect of their already healthy sex life. And in the end, the damsel-in-distress isn’t really in distress at all! Sure, she needed to be untied, but Morticia was definitely not in any danger.
