Sometimes, some atheists (definitely not all, just like not all Christians are ignorant or intolerant) will do this thing where they insinuate, either accidentally or on purpose, that believing in a higher power makes you less intelligent. And I don’t like that. I’m not religious by any means, but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with believing in something that makes you feel connected to the universe at large or that you find comforting in some way. Faith and reason aren’t mutually exclusive. As long as you can find a way to use your brain and your own moral compass in a compassionate, non-judgmental way, believe in/don’t believe in whatever you want.

I think that we need to stop for a moment and look at this. Not because it’s gorgeous, amazing, and oh-so-spazz inducing (although feel free to admire it for that as well).Look at his posture, his body, and his free hand. Look at how straight that free hand is. I say this because the way you carry yourself can say a lot about you. And what that free hand is saying is that Loki is tense at this point. Very tense.And I know that it could be due to him just coming to Midgard ready to blow shit up.But I’d also like to hypothesize that his entire stance here has much more to say than that. It says that he came from a tense place.I mean, this could be the sleep medicine kicking in, but I think that his stance here shows a lot about where he came from, and how it’s made him tense and ready to snap.I know I’m probably reading too much into things, but I’m really just curious to know what exactly happened during his ‘exile’ from Asgard.
Agreed completely about the stature (though he also nearly falls over/trips when leaving that room [one of the people whose ‘heart’ he overtook pats him on the back when it happens, which is really interesting to think about actually] and I think this is largely due to him being exhausted from travelling through the Tesseract’s “door” - so he’d be tense if he were tired but acting tough). I think the fandom’s general headcanon is that there was a certain amount of coersion going on when he started working with the Chitauri. I mean he was floating through Yggdrasil for an unspecified amount of time, the Chitauri might have been the first race he came across that could help him and he just went with it despite how aggressive and ruthless they are. (After all, they’re getting the Tesseract, supposedly, and the entire universe just so Loki can get earth to get Dad’s attention.)When they threaten him during the film (“you will long for something as sweet as pain”), he’s pretty stoic during it, and while Loki is obviously good with poker faces when he’s not throwing God Tantrums, his entire reaction kinda says he’s heard that tune before. I’d say it’s not outside the realm of possibility that things got out of hand while he was trying to get the upper position on the Chitauri and he came out worse for wear.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4z59qopm21r5l5mwo1_500.jpg)

"Queerness, to me, is about far more than homosexual attraction. It’s about a willingness to see all other taboos broken down. Sure, many of us start on this path when we first feel “same sex” or “same gender” attraction (though what is sex? And what is gender? And does anyone really have the same sex or gender as anyone else?). But queerness doesn’t stop there.
This is a somewhat controversial stance, but to me queer means something completely different than “gay” or “lesbian” or “bisexual.” A queer person is usually someone who has come to a non-binary view of gender, who recognizes the validity of all trans identities, and who, given this understanding of infinite gender possibilities, finds it hard to define their sexuality any longer in a gender-based way. Queer people understand and support non-monogamy even if they do not engage in it themselves. They can grok being asexual or aromantic. (What does sex have to do with love, or love with sex, necessarily?) A queer can view promiscuous (protected) public bathhouse sex with strangers and complete abstinence as equally healthy.
Queers understand that people have different relationships to their bodies. We get what it means to be stone. We know what body dysphoria is about. We understand that not everyone likes to get touched the same way or to get touched at all. We realize that people with disabilities may have different sexual needs, and that people with survivor histories often have sexual triggers. We can negotiate safe and creative ways to be intimate with people with HIV/AIDs and other STIs.
Queers understand the range of power and sensation and the diversity of sexual dynamics. We are tops and bottoms, doms and subs, sadists and masochists and sadomasochists, versatiles and switches. We know what we like and don’t like in bed.
We embrace a wide range of relationship types. We can be partners, lovers, friends with benefits, platonic sweethearts, chosen family. We can have very different dynamics with different people, often all at once. We don’t expect one person to be able to fulfill all our diverse needs, fantasies and ideals indefinitely.
Because our views on relationships, sex, gender, love, bodies, and family are so unconventional, we are of necessity anti-assimilationist. Because under the kyriarchy we suffer, and watch the people we love suffering, we are political. Because we want to survive, we fight. We only want the freedom to be ourselves, love ourselves, love each other, and live together. Because we are routinely denied that, we are pissed.
Queer doesn’t mean “don’t label me,” it means “I am naming myself.” It means “ask me more questions if you curious” and in the same breath means “fuck off."

Since tons of people think that I’m like Bruce Banner
Haha, my first thought was “now I don’t have to spell out her url in my head, I can just say it!”. I can pronounce it now. xDAnd by the clever wit of a certain tumblr follower (you know who you are),
I’ve decided to change my URL to “youcancallmedrbanner”
I’m posting this because I don’t want anyone to be like “what the fuck? I didn’t follow this person.”
So dseumu is changing to youcancallmedrbanner
And now you’ll finally be able to pronounce my url

ontheganges asked: Coulson, or Thor?
LOL Thor. Coulson’s too uptight and such for me. Thor, while a little uhm…simpler than what I would usually imagine myself dating, seems exciting and well-intentioned. I also really like his lack of guile, he’s so honest about everything (for better or for worse), that sort of strange innocence is sort of hypnotically attractive.
Also you may or may not have noticed his arms and abs.

ontheganges asked: Bashir, or Odo?
Oh. Oh. Hmmmm. My first instinct is Bashir, because despite my immense treasure trove of absolute essays of Odo-feels, Bashir is…less of a heartbreak in the end. As a Changeling Odo would outlive me by too much and I wouldn’t want that sort of thing, you know? :X Also I love Bashir’s skin color asdfgh.
