i imagine getting my own place all the time and going down to the grocery store early in the morning before everyone else and to the coffee shop and having a really small place with wide windows and lots of plants and shelves of books and a tiny kitchen where i can make tea and noodles and a bed with a pile of blankets and just a place i can make uniquely my own or maybe a place i could share with someone but i just think about this place a lot idk

One of my professors is an extremely famous, well-known painter who has been in galleries since he was a young man in the 80s. He once asked me in class, “Alyssa, what are your dreams and aspirations for the future?”

You should have seen the puzzled look on his face when I described something similar to the post above.

“Why so humble?!” He laughed. “You know you’re talented, right? You could aspire to a lot more than that for sure.”

And I had to take that moment to explain to him that this is what my generation is given, this is how low our standards for happiness have to be. A humble existence, a small piece of the world for ourselves, and comfortable stability are just as out of reach for some of us as fame and reknown was for him in the 80’s. His face went somber immediately.

taika: here’s this neat symbolism of thor being sent down the same path of his father, shown by losing his eye and having the eyepatch, but instead he chose to be a better man than his father was. also his hammer gets destroyed because he never really needed it, it was just a channel for his powers, and he’s far more powerful without it.

Reblogging for @iunia-kallistrate excellent tag commentary: 

#the russo brothers are having the joss whedon problem#joss’ shit was innovative when he started#(performative) feminism 101 on TV in Sci-fi then#was huge#but now we’re all in (actual) feminism 405 and that 101 stuff is tired#the Russo brother’s were kings of the superhero scene when the only bar they had to surpass was Whedon’s#and so they went and did social and moral conflicts 101 stories featuring white men and their sidekicks#but then we got Tiaka and Ryan Coogler#who write social and moral conflict on the graduate level and not the undergrad freshman intro level#and both of them surpassing Whedon’s so called feminism to boot#not that its hard#but you’ve got Tiaka over her writing a female character who can go toe to toe with the boys w/o it being about how sexy she is#Valkyrie is on fire but its not about them#Even the Grandmaster’s little crush is meant to show us how badass she is and not how hot she is#Then you get Ryan Coogler out her writing a fucking dissertation on intersectional feminism and the patriarchy of the diaspora#How are we supposed to go back to the Russo brothers after that#When they refuse to accept that the game has changed and try to break what was built to fit their tired concepts#the same Whedon ignored their character building in Ultron#like kids who brake their own toys because they don’t want their siblings to play
