okay. i’m not trying to be that blogger who gets angry and complains about her fandom, but for a few minutes i’m gonna be that blogger. bear with me, please? i’m really sorry.
agent carter is NOT doing well. it’s just not. we can debate about it all we want, but already entertainment weekly is reporting it as a potential “flop.“ and that is beyond infuriating to me, because this show and this character is excellent.
is the plot breaking bad? no, of course not. but it is well-acted and engaging and, above all, entertaining. these actors have poured themselves into the project (especially hayley atwell). rotten tomatoes gave the show a 97% freshness rating. that is a good score. an awesome score. but each week, ratings slip, and now the show has dipped down into abc’s ratings “red zone.” that is just unacceptable.
if all the sjw and feminist bloggers are really as gung-ho about female representation as they say they are, then they need to back this project. this is the only female-led title on the marvel line-up until 2018. it needs support. it needs overwhelming, earth-shattering support.
if everyone in the marvel fandom claims to love peggy as much as we do, we need to do more for this show. that means fan art out the wazoo. i want so much fanfic that i have to blacklist it from my dash. i want pictures of eight-year-old girls dressing up as peggy carter. i want us each watching the show (LIVE, please) and then watching the DVR playback. and then i want us watching it on the abc website the next day. twice. three times. just play it in the background while you make lunch, i don’t care. give it attention.
please. again, not to be that blogger but - "spread this like wildfire.”
peggy may not have the brand name of captain america, but she has just as much power.
Laura Hale wants nothing more in the world than teenage normalcy. She’s the most popular girl in school as well as the head cheerleader. Her academics aren’t too shabby and her admirers consist of the entire male school body. There’s only one problem; okay, two if you count the fact that her monthly cycle includes more fur and fangs than it does cramps and a temper. She’s been forbidden to date. Technically, so is her twin brother, Derek but he’s never had any complaints about the ridiculous injustice that is their father’s logic. Part of that is because it’s Derek’s fault.
Derek used to be just as popular as her, used to be the ‘golden boy’, with his perfect grades and jock status. That all changed when he started dating high school senior, Kate Argent. She used to swing by after games, watching him with a predatory stare before draping her arm around him and calling him ‘babe’. That was before Derek got serious about Kate, before he spilled his guts about being a werewolf. Kate had acted cool about it up until the point where Laura caught her splashing gasoline on their house, her hand that held the lighter trembling as she muttered some bullshit about werewolves being an abomination and their whole family being doomed to an eternity in hell for being monsters.
Laura could understand why Derek hadn’t felt the need to date after that, or even to trust people outside of their family in general. She got why he was the way he was but that didn’t mean she wanted to follow in his current anti social footsteps. Laura wasn’t asking for much, just permission to attend school dances and the opportunity to attend Prom where she’d inevitably be crowned queen. The simple things in life. But no, her dad, with his stupid ‘no dating humans’ rule was determined to ruin her life.
Sure, there was more to life than Jackson and his perfect hair, but she deserved the right to have a boyfriend before she reached the age of 20, when her dad would most likely start trying to pair her off with any locally eligible Alpha. She didn’t want to marry the guy for God’s sake, she wasn’t stupid. She wouldn’t make the same mistake as Derek, wouldn’t get attached. She wouldn’t risk it the way he did. She knew better than that. Still, she was tired of being treated like a child.
I was forced to drag him along with me after he decided that the two of us were going to kill a master vampire. Thonnir wanted to kill that master vampire because he helped turn most of Thonnir’s village into vampires. Thonnir’s dumb wife got bitten by…
“He smiled understandingly-much more than understandingly. It was one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it, that you may come across four or five times in life. It faced—or seemed to face—the whole eternal world for an instant, and then concentrated on you with an irresistible prejudice in your favor. It understood you just as far as you wanted to be understood, believed in you as you would like to believe in yourself, and assured you that it had precisely the impression of you that, at your best, you hoped to convey.” ― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
“A woman came in for a baby check with her 6-month-old and she had what looked like chocolate milk in the baby’s bottle. So he started explaining to her as kindly as he could that she shouldn’t be giving her baby chocolate milk. At which point she interrupts him and says, ‘Oh that isn’t chocolate milk. It’s coffee! He just loves it!”
"I had a patient come in for an STD check. She was very upset and continued to tell me that she only had one partner. Progressing through my assessment, she further divulged that even if he was sleeping with other people it shouldn’t matter ‘because he uses a condom every time and he makes sure to wash it thoroughly after every use’.”
"Had a lady who measured her baby’s temperature by pre-heating the oven and putting one hand in front of it while the other hand was on the baby’s forehead. She told the nurse her baby’s fever was about 250 degrees.”
"Lady has to have foot amputated and is given waiver forms to sign pre-op. Buddy asks if she needs time to think about it. She’s very nonchalant and doesn’t seem to care much what they do. He gets suspicious and probes a bit as to why she’s not more concerned. She says she gets that they have to operate and it’s OK because the foot will grow back.”
"I had a couple who had been trying to conceive for over two years. I asked all the usual questions, how often do you have sex, any previous pregnancy, etc etc. Something seemed off to me during the consult, so I continued to ask questions. Finally I asked if he ejaculated while inserted into the vagina. Both parties looked confused.Turns out the couple was not having insertional sex at all. I had to awkwardly explain to them how insertional sex works. Diagrams were required.”
"Patient comes in, she’s upset. She’s pregnant, and she doesn’t understand why. She’s on the pill. Upon talking to her at great length, I find out that she only takes the pills on the days that she is sexually active – no other time.”
"Patient comes in with her bf. They are indignant, as if somehow I could’ve prevented [the pregnancy]. The problem? Well, the pills were bothering the girl’s stomach, so, being a gallant bf, he decided to start taking them instead.”
“I was explaining the treatment to the husband of a patient about to be discharged. He kept nodding and agreeing with me, but I knew it was flying over his head. Turned out a fundamental problem was that I was describing the drugs as ‘tablets’ and he had no clue what those were.”
apparently February 14th will be a full moon. Celebrate with your lover by turning into a werewolf on your date and devouring them. 100% romantic i am an expert.
