This is a thing.

No, seriously.  I want to know what Thor is likely to wear as far as sleep garments/underwear.  And the closest thing I can think of is to think that the people who created the Norse pantheon probably would have seen their gods’ underpants status as being the same as their own.  Also, does Loki wear underpants?  The world needs to know!

Someone on Tumblr must know! 

ETA: After further google fu by a friend, galacticyoyo, it appears that the answer is that lower class vikings did not wear undergarments, but upper class vikings probably wore linen undergarments.  Thor would probably wear undergarments, as would Loki.  http://www.hurstwic.org/history/articles/daily_living/text/clothing.htm

Stop shipping them. Tony and Steve especially. Want to base ships? Read the comics.

Okay.

Have I read enough comcis for you??

:-|

you’re right. i just reread all those comics
and you’re totally right

context?

what context?

there’s no context here

no

context

whatsoever
 
wow this ship has no base to it

at all

i can’t find one thing that’s shippable about them
 
not one 

it’s not like, idk, tony has a captain america memorabilia room or anything. or that he has posters and pictures of cap, just cap, around his mansions. that he has captain america collectibles. that he pays, what? 2 million? for steve’s original avengers card.
it’s not like steve has a signed iron man helmet in his apartment. nope
it’s not like tony was so torn about the civil war that for the first time in his life his grief was too big to drown in alcohol
it’s not like they constantly go around spouting praise about one another’s genius/azure eyes/moral compass/compassion. lol no
it’s not like marvel writers heavily imply that the biggest reason tony stark wanted to wake up at the end of dissassembled was for steve.
it’s not like the others avengers refer to them as mom and dad.
it’s not like despite being polar opposites on so many different issues, they’re still bffs. no.
it’s not like after steve died tony had hallucinations/dreams about him. nope
it’s not like they kissed in the 616 universe or got married in another universe.
it’s not like they come to each other’s aid, wherever, whenever. nuh-huh.
it’s not like other characters tell them to get a room or talk about how much they love each other
it’s not like marvel ships them or anything. like, they would never purposefully sandwich panels of steve kissing someone and tony being in unbearable pain or anything. pshh no.

is that enough for you guys? can you get off your high horse of “they’re superheroes, they’re manly, they can’t be gay”? can you shut up now? i would just like to point out: they. get. married. in another universe. but married. i’m sorry, but in my opinion, that’s pretty canon. jussayin’.
 

And hell.  Even if you CAN’T see the gay, the flying side hug up there which is picture number 6 is from a title with a team of superheroes that features a gay couple (Young Avengers #1).  Tony and Steve may have said a lot of things to that team, but they have NEVER said ANYTHING against that gay couple.  In fact, Cap approves enough (and is close enough to Tony) to have Tony’s butler prepare a room for the two heroes to share when the Avengers feel they need to monitor one of them (because he’s capable of House of M levels of reality altering).  And did I mention that the two heroes were sixteen years old?  Because that happened and, to me, even if they aren’t gay, they certainly approve of superheroes being gay. (From Avengers: The Children’s Crusade #1)

…THEY’RE IDENTICAL

this has been a public service announcement

OH MY GOD YES.  I was bitching for HOURS about this very thing to a friend of mine who isn’t in the fandom.  I’m quite sure he thought I’d gone off the rails, but they are identical.

If you’re fancasting them, they MUST be played by the same actor OR they must be played by two different actors who are IDENTICAL TWINS.  

If you’re fancasting them or setting up an RP, I will be MORE than happy to use my photoshopping skills to recolour hair for one of them.  Please.  Contact me.  I’ll do it for you if you can’t do it yourself.  Hell, if you find me the actor and a hairstyle that works for Tommy’s insane hair, I will do my level best to photoshop that hairstyle onto the actor for you (providing I can find a photo at the right angle because I suck at altering angles).  

Just make them identical!

I love how the school threatened to suspend the girl while refusing to address the audist bullies who bullied her and other girls for using American Sign Language.

Go fuck yourself, Stonybrook School.

Via ABC News:

School officials have threatened a hearing-impaired girl with suspension if she uses sign language to talk to her friends on the school bus, the girl’s parents say.

Danica Lesko and her parents say sign language is the only way to for the 12-year-old to communicate, especially while riding to school on a noisy bus.

But officials at Stonybrook School — which is not a school for the hearing-impaired — and district officials in Branchburg, N.J., apparently believe signing is a safety hazard. They have sent a letter to the Lesko family ordering Danica to stop using sign language on the school bus or risk a three-day suspension.

The March 30 letter from her principal that said Danica was “doing sign language after being told it wasn’t allowed on the bus.”

The Leskos may file a lawsuit over the sign language ban, claiming officials are violating Danica’s civil rights and violating the Americans with Disabilities Act.

“She has a hearing problem, and now she’s being punished for using sign language,” Mary Ann Lesko, Danica’s mother, told The Star-Ledger of Newark. “It’s absurd.”

Danica’s parents told the paper that other students who rode to school with their daughter made fun of her, and refused to stay in their seats as they teased other girls who were using sign language. They said school officials are singling out Danica and not addressing those who should really be reprimanded.

Schools Officials: Safety First

In a statement released through the school district’s attorney, David Rubin, the Branchburg Board of Education refused to discuss the details of Danica’s case, saying only that its version of events differs from the parents’ version.

However, the board insisted it has not violated anyone’s rights and is only trying to protect other students who must ride on the school bus.

“The Board is committed to providing reasonable accommodations to all students with disabilities, and is satisfied that there has been no violation of that policy in this case,” officials said in the statement. “The Board is also committed to assuring the safety of all students who travel on District buses, and will continue to take appropriate steps to accomplish that goal.”

One deaf-rights advocate said Danica’s parents have a strong basis for a lawsuit because sign language could be a considered a foreign language, and school officials could be violating the girl’s First Amendment right to communicate.

“Why should there be a ban?” asked Charlotte Karras, outreach coordinator for the Edison, N.J.-based Alliance for Disabled in Action. “It’s a violation of her communication rights. She’s said it’s the only way she can communicate with her friends … It’s [the ban] against the ADA and violates the First Amendment and her family can file a discrimination suit citing the Americans With Disabilities Act.”

Karras said her organization would be willing to help the Leskos with any legal action.

Danica’s parents say she began losing her hearing last November, when a classmate allegedly shot a bottle rocket near her ear. They have already sued the Branchburg School District over that incident.

WHAT.THE.FUCK

How the FUCK can this POSSIBLY be a safety hazard?  I hope they win their lawsuit.  I hope the school pays for this in spades because this is a school that SHOULD go bankrupt.  Morally bankrupt people should not teach children.
