"Love tastes like sake. Warm and bittersweet."
Believe it. I am the most awesome super heroine you've yet to meet. Your validation is completely unnecessary.

“The Jewel Smugglers”
Superman Daily Newspaper Strip - March 20, 1939 to April 1, 1939After what appears to be a cringe-worthy opener where Lois Lane is busted down to Lovelorn Column duties - investigative reporting is too dangerous for girls, you see - we’re reminded that Lois Lane isn’t some fainting damsel.
Despite being plopped behind a cozy desk, Lois is quickly up and at ‘em on behalf of a battered wife and her suddenly secretive husband. In short order, she drags Clark to the seediest bar in town, almost gets him decked on the dance floor, worms her way into a criminal thug’s klatsch and ends up risking her life to expose a jewel-smuggling ring (Superman saves the day, of course, and - since their rivalry is at the heart of their flirtation - Kent steals her scoop).
We often hear the phrase “strong female character”, but tend to imagine “strong” simply means “tough” or “stern” or - more often than not - “quips, does ninja kicks”. The important word in that phrase, however, is “character”, and strength relates not to how many ninjas a female character can kung-fu punch with what witty rejoinder on her lips, but rather the quality of her character in a narrative sense.
A strong character is a character who comes complete with her own motivation, her own backstory, her own likes and dislikes, and whose absence - if she were completely removed from the story - would have a distinctive (even detrimental) effect on the direction of the plot and the actions of the remaining characters. A strong character is a character the story cannot do without.
It can’t really be argued that Lois Lane has - in her 74-years of continual publication - always been a strong character. As a matter of fact, a good argument could be made for the case that the strength of her character has been declining for the last few decades. Nonetheless, in the early days of her and Superman’s mutual run, she was as essential to the gestalt as oxygen is to fire.
It is a blessing to get old. It is a blessing to find the time to do the things, to read the books, to listen to the music. I have nothing now but praise for my life.
Maurice Sendak (via scribalcorruption)Masks on,” Christian grins, and as he dons his simple black mask, my prince becomes something darker, more sensual.
All I can see of his face is his beautiful chiseled mouth and strong jaw.
Omg, Thor, I love you.
Don’t like the Loki one, but reblogging for Samuel L omg
The Hawkeye one, tho.
The room came to be known as Starks Secret Stash of Steve.
Steve was the only one who didn’t know about it.

I’ll disclaim this as such: I never had feelings about Robb, or Jeyne, or Robb/Jeyne—meaning, no antipathy, and came into the show with nothing but endless curiosity as to how it’d be treated, because the show shedding light on underdeveloped characters can…
I am burdened with glorious purpose.
- To say thank you to my followers and to celebrate The Avengers’ success, I have decided to do a giveaway.
This is my bargain.
- ONE medium sized box (approx 11” x 8.5” x 5.5”) full of Avengers/Marvel toys and merchandise.
How desperate are you?
- You can reblog this post a MAXIMUM of THREE times. Likes also count.
- Following me does not increase your chances of winning, so please don’t feel compelled to do so unless you just really enjoy an insane amount of Tom Hiddleston all over your dash.
- Yes, I will ship anywhere in the world.
- Please make sure your ask box is open so I can contact you if you win. I would hate to have to choose someone else.
Stalling won’t change anything.
- You have ONE WEEK from today. The giveaway ends Saturday, 26 May.
In the end, it will be every man for himself…good luck.

Seriously, please don’t kill me. I was just sad that Captain America was still loveless in The Avengers. I’ve also developed a serious crush on Chris Evans and his eyebrows so blame it on the man’s sexiness. Then I sketched this girl that seemed to have a rather unearthly beauty by the time I finished inking. [...]

As is custom for every blogger, there is the first post for the New Year. Mine is a bit late, though by no fault of my own. Life is fond of throwing me curve balls and my swing is always being tested (Forgive the baseball analogies. I can be such a guy sometimes). By now, [...]

I have literally had to stop and think tonight. Because here I was raging over something that just seems so pointless now compared to what I’d just found out. And you wonder just how so many people can go about behaving as if they’re accomplishing something significant when the truth is, they’re doing the most [...]

She realizes, very quickly, that momentsdaysmonthsyears can pass and people still end up being uncertain and undecided about anything. Everything.

My Lea Salonga experience was pretty surreal, to say the least. I’d grown up listening to her, as well as having to sit and listen to relatives go on and on about how they’d wanted me to be like her. The last thing I had ever expected to happen in my life was to meet [...]
