our utilities bill was extremely high this month and we couldn’t do more than a partial payment. the place i worked at closed down and I haven’t gotten a confirmation on whether or not i’ll be able to be transferred to another location. we need about $350 before 6/30 or else our shit will be shut off and we don’t have the money. I seriously need money. I’ll give commissoins to everyone who sends money if we get enough. I seriously need help.
Thanks to @bevendre and @ang3lba3 I am at $115 so I’m about a third of the way there!. If you have anything to send, send it to epicdarklink@gmail.com, something i should have said in the first place. PM me how much you sent so i can keep track because I will give everyone commissions if I make it to my the goal.
Morning reminder. Everyone who donates will get a commission and every bit counts
What really sucks about the way Joss Whedon writes is that he sort of has this idea that if he writes about women being strong and confident, that is all it takes for women to appreciate his work. Like, even if the villain constantly belittles a woman for being a woman and people are constantly harassing her and sexualizing her, it’s okay because she’s strong and she can take it.
The biggest difference between Whedon’s version of Wonder Woman and Jenkins is that in Whedon’s version Wonder Woman is A Woman. She (and the audience) must be constantly aware that she is a Woman, that she is Sexy, that she is overcoming incredible odds because she has the terrible disadvantage of Being Born A Woman.
Whereas in Jenkins’ film Diana simply exists. There are some points made by other characters about her being a woman, like when Steve won’t sleep with her because he feels it’s improper, or when his secretary says, “Oh yes, put specs on her, like after that she won’t be the most beautiful woman you’ve ever seen”, but Diana is almost completely unaware of her status as a Dreaded Woman. Her excitement over a baby? She’s literally never seen one before. Her little makeover seen? Spends the whole thing looking for something comfortable she can fight in. She basically never mentions the difference between men and women, never even says that women are better or whatever because she was raised by them.
Joss Whedon would have never let Wonder Woman forget she was a Woman. She would have constantly been making comments about it, wether positive or negative, as would everyone around her. In Whedon’s heyday that might have flown a lot better, but now women seem to be a little sick of grrrrl power. They just want power. They just want to exist, both on screen and in life, without constant reminders that they are Women and that they must pay for that at every turn.
Bob-omb battlefield was lit it was a bunch of bombs fighting a straight up war with each other and then Mario shows up and assassinates a key political figure.
