The new Venom movie has a scene with intense flashing lights (the lab entry scene) and I received no warnings and had to leave (just for that scene) as I am epileptic!!! PLEASE share this since I’ve seen NO warnings being shared and this is very important and can prevent people from having seizures etc during the film.
Why I love Deadpool and Why We Deserve a Good Venom Movie (and by good I mean Rated R)
One of the (thousands) of reasons I love Ryan Reynolds is because he took a Rated R character (Deadpool) and actually did the character right.
He gave us a movie that not only starred that character in all his raunchy glory BUT ALSO gave us the fandom content we all love ie: loving with his entire heart, being nice to kids, and especially in Deadpool a fantastically diverse cast without shying away from Deadpool’s blatant not-straightness. They aren’t perfect movies but they are GREAT movies.
He earned the hell out of that R rating and I love it because Deadpool is NOT for children and it wasn’t toned down to make it family friendly. He didn’t erase the depression, the bad coping, or even DPs lean towards suicide whether it’s because he’s having a bad day or because he ends up dead post mission. The movies don’t shy away from DPs history as a survivor of abuse, Vanessa is definitely a hooker and then works in a strip joint and not ONCE is that painted as something she needs to redeem, and (again) they don’t ignore that DP is canonically not-straight even though they give him a female love interest. (Also, the movies don’t shy away from other people’s non straight relationships as well)
DPs redemption arc (if you want to call it that) isn’t “you need to change your ways to be a good guy” it’s “you have a reason to exist” which is a far cry from the first movie where he basically only lives for revenge, and the second where every time he died he was relieved because he just wanted to stay dead.
Wonderfully enough, the people who try to demand DP change are shown as the ones who are “well meaning but don’t understand” (the few x men) and they eventually realize that they need to let him do what it is he does and are happy to be with him where he is, not force him to meet some “standard” before he is deemed acceptable, and that is so important because IRL people with a mental illness are treated as if they have to be “this level of socially acceptable” before they are worthy of love and that’s such bullshit.
Weasel is a prime example of a friend who maybe isn’t the best influence but he is loyal and he is TRYING and that’s enough.
He doesn’t have to be some god-tier level of “always right” like the friend of the main character is so often shown to be (looking at you Pepper Potts)(don’t worry, I love her), Weasel Just has to be there when Wade needs him and he tries very hard to make that happen and the “healthy coping boundaries” he puts on Wade are completely doable, for example “go home and take a shower” because he’s well aware that a shower will not only do wonders for Wade’s outlook (being clean is good for the soul!) but also because he knows that’s probably the bare minimum Wade can handle.
I could keep going, but basically Ryan Reynolds took a Rated R character and actually did him justice, didn’t try to water DP down, didn’t ignore the harder-to-deal with issues (depression, suicide etc etc), didn’t force a traditional redemption arc on him and didn’t try to force him into that “straight white male superhero” mold and it’s WONDERFUL.
And I’m just saying, if we can handle Deadpool, we have earned the right to a Rated R Venom movie.
Venom isn’t a kid friendly bad guy/situation no matter how much they try to change him.
He munches on people, he is terrifyingly violent and he could very well be a literal physical representation of the “violent split personalities” they show us in scary movies—he’s practically a horror story.
Give us the horror story.
We lived through Deadpool and Logan we can handle a big ol monster with a suspiciously interesting tongue.
(I realize this was more about DP than Venom but I stand by my rant)
So…
I have an hour before work and while I’m in a bit of a rocky spot in my real life, I know I need to go and at least try to make it through the 5-6 hours of this shift. I do have a few more replies done, but I haven’t decided if I wanna post them or just queue them yet.
If anyone wants any muse/plot in particular, let me know.
More muse bios have been done, but they’re handwritten right now. I’ll work more on them when I get off/before I go to sleep.

i want a fucking serial killer plot like say muse a and muse b have been dating for the longest fucking time, they’re totally in love, and then at like 2 am one night, muse b comes back home fuckin covered in blood like “ok usually i have time to clean up, you weren’t supposed to see me like this but they had 911 on speed dial and i had to come home” and it’s muse a like oh, oh shit i’m in love with a serial killer and muse b like well fuck the love of my life knows i’ve killed like so many people and idk i feel like this could go places u know
This is the main reason for my general annoyance with lack of size regulation in the fashion industry…
men’s pants are labeled by waist and inseam measurement. women’s pants are labeled by voodoo. even though i do not buy women’s pants, i can recognize this as objectively dumb.
THE NOTES ON THIS
because i can’t stress this enough. this is why i don’t let the numbers get to me. as jumpingjacktrash so eloquently said “women’s pants are labeled by voodoo.”
BUT THISTHISTHISTHISTHIS
so when boys make fun of girls taking forever to shop and trying everything on
WE FUCKING HAVE TO OR NOTHING WILL FIT
Forever grateful for this post for removing the shame of going into a different store and finding that the pants do not fit me even though I am WEARING the “same size” pants right that moment.
This bears repeating: “women’s pants are labeled by voodoo.”
Based on a prompt from @pumpkin-spidey for intersex!Peter finding love with Wade after so many people rejecting him.
(Author’s note: Talks about sexual/gender identity can be very feels-heavy, but because this is Spideypool I tried for a lighter approach. I have a follow up part, a sexy times scene and depending on how everyone likes this one I might post it)
Also, this is long so I’m posting it on Saturday lol
Wade didn’t mean to snort Mountain Dew out of his nose, and holy hell did it burn and he wouldn’t be smelling or tasting anything for a week, but that wasn’t important.
What was important was that Peter’s eyes filled with tears and he started shoving away from the table, gathering his backpack and jacket and mumbling about having to go right now.
“Pete!” Wade coughed and wiped at his face as he tried to run after his boyfriend. “Pete! Wait come back! Pete!”
“Leave me alone.” Peter sniffed and kept right on walking. “I don’t know why I expected you to act like any less of an asshole than you usually do, but some how I’m still surprised.”
“Pete, please.” Wade snagged his jacket, careful not to pull too hard, because last time he’d down that Peter had turned and clocked him right into a wall. “Just wait up a minute and let me try that again. I won’t react like such a dick this time, I swear, you just sort of–” he threw his hands up. “You just sort of surprised me is all.”
