AND WHAT DO YOU SACRIFICE?

my favorite heated rivalry twitter moment is when random users will be like “when the fic the TL is talking about is actually good” and then you read it and it’s bad.

i’m not an Active x men fan bc i only read the Claremont run growing up & watched some of the cartoons but it was a cornerstone of my childhood, crucial to my development as a person, and every filmic adaptation of these characters from like 2000 onward has lowkey been ass so i am watching all the casting buzz with some interest but i am NOT holding my breath. ESPECIALLY since it’s an mcu feature

i keep thinking about the irina foundation and not in like a ilya character study way i am routinely haunted by the prospect of its internal logistics due to my field of work. is it basically just their tax shelter that they occasionally throw money towards or do they have people besides accountants that they pay full time? do they solicit other NHL players? who actually fields requests and disburses the grants to orgs actually doing the work for mental health support and sports inclusion and the like? is it like a family foundation with a pretty minimal pool of staff or are there a good number of employees given that this is a binational charitable organization that not only is a grantor and does advocacy work but runs its own programming with the camps? does it have a board or is the board literally just yuna and maybe david? is it run exclusively out of ottawa or is there a short-lived Boston outpost? please god can anyone hear me

i also have yet to complete role model so i will hold off on making the post that’s percolating in my mind until it’s done. buttttt there is an additional level of dynamics that i’m worried will be handled poorly now that a reformed bigot’s emotional redemption will in large part center around his attraction to a man of color
