As annoying as it can be

Unironically yeah

I’ve said it before but as shit as that book is, it would genuinely be irresponsible of Marvel to not make an AvX movie, that shit would print money within seconds of writing a first draft

Hot take idea, but if they are gonna do Pheonix storyline, instead of Dark Pheonix they should do instead Avengers vs X-Men.

Panel 1: At the top it says "Beginning of year:" A man with messy dark brown hair and a green t-shirt is standing next to Shen, saying "This year, I'm gonna become rich!" Shen is saying "I'm gonna become goth!"

Panel 2: The man points at Shen and laughs manically, saying "HAHAHAHA!! What a dumb resolution!" Shen just looks back at him sadly.

Panel 3: At the top it says "End of year:" The man is now in a payphone booth, with raindrops outside hitting the glass in the night sky. He has 5-o-clock shadow. He's on the phone asking someone "Hey dude ... Can I borrow some money?"

Panel 4: It's revealed to be Shen he's talking to, who is smiling smugly on his phone, in full goth getup. To describe the getup: His hair is dyed a super dark brown, and has "X" and ankh shaped hair clips. His hair also has bright purple highlights. He has dark purple eyeshadow and eyeliner former the bottoms of "X"s below his eyes. He's wearing a choker, 2 necklaces, and tank top with mesh sleeves. He also has a mesh bracelet, purple-painted nails, and his phone has a charm of the Sanrio character Kuromi.

i dont know whats gonna happen but here. 🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪

alright. lots of things happening right now.
for those who don’t know me, hi, i’m spikermonster, and i’m a venezuelan artist. i’ve been sharing my art on the internet since i was a kid. i was born here in caracas and i’ve never moved out. the only time i’ve ever left the country was in 2001, when i was 9 and my dad took me to disney world.
i’m saying all this because it’s important that people know that i’m someone who actually lives here and has always lived here, so i don’t get anyone in my mentions trying to dismiss anything i say because they think i live in another country or whatever. you might think i don’t owe anyone this much of an explanation, but i feel like i do, because i’ve seen the way americans snarkily dismiss anything venezuelans say about the issue if it’s something they can’t wrap their heads around. they don’t even try to look at it from our perspective. suddenly every venezuelan who speaks up online is secretly a CIA shill. with all due respect you guys are fucking insane. all you’re doing is silencing venezuelan voices and you don’t even realize it. do i blame you for thinking that way? no, i don’t! because the CIA is terrifying and the US sucks, trump sucks, we all know this. but you care WAY more about hating your own country (as valid as your reasons may be) than you do about actually listening to people from other countries. so thanks for making me do all this extra work just to speak about my country.

last night the US military launched airstrikes in venezuela and there were also troops on the ground. i heard the planes and explosions. i’m not able to see the city from my apartment but i could hear everything, the sounds were unmistakable and unlike anything i’d heard before. i was scared shitless. however this is something we’ve been all mentally preparing ourselves for, since as some of you might know, the US had been besieging venezuela for several months via the caribbean sea. still, you might think you’re ready for a moment like this but trust me, you’re truly not, and you realize that real quick once it actually happens.
please know that my family and i are safe. the places that were targeted were specifically military bases and points of interest like that, it wasn’t a random bombing against civilians with lots of casualties or anything. at the time of me writing this post, there’s only one confirmed civilian casualty, and according to some sources it might be around 40, the large majority of which were military. i have not been able to confirm this though. i’m not saying this to downplay the importance of the situation, i just want to get some facts straight because there’s a lot of fearmongering and sensationalism revolving around the issue.

that being said, it was still the single most terrifying thing i’ve lived through. this should’ve never happened. we should’ve never reached a point where a foreign military intervention was needed. yes, needed. because we never would’ve been able to get rid of maduro ourselves, trust me, we’ve been trying for several years. maduro needed to be taken care of. if you don’t know why, i encourage you to do your own research on the venezuelan crisis and how we ended up in a dictatorship (maybe pick up a few pointers so you can recognize that trump himself is becoming a dictator pretty quick, but i think you might’ve noticed already.) now, i’m hearing that this move from the US was apparently not exactly legal but i’m gonna be honest with you: we don’t care. “but they’re just after your oil” we don’t care. we’re just glad maduro is finally out. whatever happens with him now is up to the US. or the UN if it ever decides to stop being useless and step in. i really have no energy in me to think of what this means for the US, all i can think about right now is what’s going to happen with my own country.

btw if you’re an american and posted this meme reacting to current events: [image of squidward wearing a huge button that says "i really wish i weren't living through a major historical event right now!"]

i’m gonna need you to get a grip and sit down because this isn’t about you. this and overdramatic angry apologies on behalf of your government are displays that don't show any solidarity towards venezuelans, because you’re literally just making it all about you. you you you, it's always all about the USA. reel it in and listen to venezuelans for once, my god. get some perspective. why is it always americans trying to make every world issue an american issue. no, the venezuelan military isn’t gonna retaliate against your country because they’re pathetically underequipped. you guys are gonna be fine (in a way, i guess, the US has a lot of other issues to worry about)

In real life I would naturally be against this sort of thing but since it’s a movie I dig the idea that Steve Rogers has replaced his shield with a projectile baby.
