i think one of my favorite thing about bob’s burgers is bob’s complete lack of gay panic (or transphobia, depending on how you interpret marshmallow’s gender).
– bob picks up transvestite hookers in his cab. they good-naturedly flirt with bob, and he just good-naturedly flirts back (”hey, who’s picking up who?”)
– linda makes a joke about him being gay for torpedo jones, and there’s no declaration of “what no i’m not gay!!!!” or even a hint of acknowledgement of bob’s heterosexuality.
– he’s gotten into some weirdly, awkwardly homoerotic moments with mr. fischoeder and seems more amused than anything else.
– marshmallow shows up in the restaurant, and linda gleefully declares it a fulfillment of a premonition of a “tall, dark and handsome” visitor. bob points out “marshmallow’s not handsome, she’s beautiful!”
– louise suggests bob wishes to marry sandy “can can” frye and become “bob can can.” bob’s response is to simply scoff, “i wouldn’t take his name.” no mention of “i’m not gay, louise.”
– gene may be canon genderfluid, or he may just be experimenting with life, but either way, bob has never once told him to “man up” or that he can’t, say, dress as queen latifah for halloween, be in a girl group or identify himself as bob’s daughter. sometimes you see him thinking “man, my kids are weird,” but he rolls with it every time.
i’m sure there are other examples i’m forgetting, and it’s part of a larger reason i like this show; the fact that people by and large treat each other with respect (even louise, agent of chaos, wouldn’t out a kid as a bedwetter). and it’s still funnier than anything else on television.
the conversation with the deli worker in the supermarket during the thanksgiving episode is basically concrete proof that bob is bisexual
remake of the twilight movies BUT bella is replaced with a 65 year old retired mailman from brooklyn named danny who constantly refers to edward as “a dracula”
supervillains fucking hate fighting the x-men because the teams change constantly and sometimes there are??? totally new people there???? fuck there’s a teenager who literally just has eyes all over his body. is he even technically a superhero yet or is he a student. who the fuck knows. how do we counter this shit

And no matter which team it is, Wolverine is there. Is it the future? Wolverine is there. Is it an alternate reality? Wolverine is there. Is Wolverine dead? Wolverine is there.
The real writer experience is standing in the shower and coming up with the most authentic dialogue with perfect phrasing and raw emotion in your head, then stepping out and drying your hair, putting on some clean pajamas and opening a word document to write down all your perfect ideas only to realize everything has evaporated.

I’ve used these to outline term papers. nothing like a bath to get your brain to finally kick into gear and figure out your damn thesis

Are you kidding, shower crayons are the BEST when you share a bathroom with other people. When I was in college, we had them and we would use them to carry on philosophical debates, finish song lyrics, get life/writing advice, etc. It was so much fun and I miss it.
WHO SAID IT WAS OK TO POST SOMETHING THIS HORRIBLE!??!??
My first reaction was ‘Nice thought but there’s no way, Coulson is much younger than…’ and then I stopped mid-thought.
Because you know what.
You know what.
After Steve, the US government had to keep trying to recreate the Super-Soldier Serum.
And who
and who
would be the FIRST DAMN PERSON IN LINE to volunteer?
They told us it never worked again. And that was kind of true. They never again recreated the super-strength or the gleaming pecs. But other things, they got right. They got the vastly delayed aging. And the kind of reflexes that make a man able to take out two armed thugs with a bag of flour. And the talent for leading through example. And they got the most important part, Erskine’s favorite part: the magnification of moral fiber, taking the loyalty and selflessness of a loyal and selfless man and making him into something spectacular.
