This makes me so happy to see right now. I mean, yes we’re still missing Valkyrie, Mantis, Scarlet Witch, America Chavez, and more, but just like 3-4 years ago the only choices girls had for store-bought Marvel superhero costumes was Black Widow or girl versions of Cap, Iron Man, and Spider-man. That was literally it.
So even though there’s still not enough out there for girls, it’s still pretty awesome to see this many costumes for Halloween this year.
“Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light; I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.”
A little doodle for one the most beautiful lines from any poem, The Old Astronomer.
This is not a little doodle. This. THIS. This is fucking MAGIC. You have captured pure wonder and whimsy and romance and bliss and that almost melancholy wholeness when you look up at the sky and just feel the smallness of your being and the grandness of the universe. All this captured with a lover’s eye. We cannot see her face but I feel the tender passionate ardour for this petite but mighty creature in the world. While at the same time I feel the bittersweet swoon of wanting to be gazed upon myself with such whole and overwhemling admiration and love. It is goddamn masterful.
I am fucking following your tumblr charliebowater you are amazing.
*takes off my leather jacket to reveal a second, secret leather jacket underneath*
you mean, skin?
What an absolutely terrifying addition to my post. Thank you.
A friend of mine who worked leather had this leather conditioner that he used for sunburn that he swore worked fantastically. My face must have displayed my disbelief. He just shrugged and said: ‘skin is just leather waiting to happen’.
I finished the stupid fucking paper that’s been making my life hell (and keeping me off Tumblr) and now I’m back to watching “Angel.”
There was a bit in this episode (5.12) where Cordelia is watching an old TV ad for Angel Investigations with Doyle in it and… I miss him. And his accent.
Lol… “He’s some type of super-soldier, like Steve Rogers or Captain America.” “Steve Rogers *is* Captain America, you 8-ball.”
Angel: So now you’re a Nazi?
Spike: No, I just ate one.
Later:
American sailor: They’re monsters and they’re in the SS.
Angel: Spike’s not in the SS, he just likes the jacket.
Holy shit Angel got turned into a Muppet.
Episode 5.15 was written by Joss and it has his fingerprints all over it.
Spike: If cavemen and astronauts got into a fight, who would win?
Wesley: Ah. [Pause] You’ve been yelling at each other for 40 minutes about this.
Spike and Angel: [uncomfortable silence]
Wesley: Do the astronauts have weapons?
Spike and Angel, simultaneously: No.
Fred wants Wesley to read her A Little Princess. That was my mom and my sister’s favorite childhood book.
Ancient powers getting themselves born into the world through female main characters is getting to be a pattern, “Angel.” Maybe change it up?
I thoroughly enjoyed the episode in which Spike and Angel obsess about the fact that Buffy is dating their “nemesis,” The Immortal, who also boned Darla and Drusilla back in the day. And then they sit around claiming to have moved on and then talking about locking her in a box.
