So, from the same page as Wasp, here’s Elektra- drawn to celebrate the casting of Elodie Yung in Daredevil.

Again with the low quality- for which I apologise. High quality versions of Elektra and Wasp will be up just as soon as I’ve sorted the technical difficulties with my scanner.

I was at the grocery store last night and heard “sir…excuse me, sir….EXCUSE ME, SIR!!” over my shoulder. I turned around to see a rather excited looking teenage, grocery store employee headed my way. I was caught mid-NOMNOMNOM and fully expecting to be admonished for eating gummy bears out of the plastic bag into which they had just been scooped (but not yet paid for), when he exclaimed, “WHERE DID YOU GET THAT SHIRT!!!” 

It took me half a second to figure out what was going on (and to swallow the evidence) before I realized he was talking about my Carol Corps shirt and not the purloined gummy bears. I told him about welovefinetees and we espoused our mutual love of Carol for a few seconds when his annoyed co-worker started calling to him and he ran off yelling, “I NEED to get one of those TONIGHT!!” Apparently, he had abandoned his grocery bagging duties to run off and talk Carol with a stranger (a petty-thieving stranger at that). 

This is the world you hath wrought kellysue and the rest of Team Carol. A 15/16 year-old black kid just dropped everything he was doing to run and talk to a mid-30s white guy about their shared love of female superhero. You done good.

So it’s 3AM and It’s just occurred to me that the most telling scene in the entire Harry Potter franchise is the scene following the announcement of the participants of the Triwizard tournament.

When Harry’s name is pulled out of the cup, literally one of the first things he is asked is “did you ask an older boy to put your name in the cup for you?“ or something to that effect, insinuating that, that was something nobody prepared for and that it was something that totally would have worked if anyone had been smart enough to figure it out.

However, in an earlier scene a student is turned into a hundred year old man when they try to artificially age themselves with a potion and put their name into the cup. Meaning someone trying to dangerously age themselves with potion they aren’t familiar with was something the teachers genuinely considered to be more likely than someone asking for fucking help from another student.

In other words, the wizards in Harry Potter’s world are so reliant on magic that it doesn’t occur to anyone save for people like Harry that asking for help is even an option in a given situation. This explains why wizards are so fucking ass-backwards at everything, they’re so confident that their magic is capable of doing everything for them that it has never occurred to fucking anyone that perhaps asking for help from the muggle world might be of some use.

Think about it, the wizarding world hasn’t changed in hundreds of years while in that same space of time the muggle world has figured out fucking space travel. I know it’s a cliché to say to say someone could have fucking shot Voldemort, but seriously, somebody totally fucking could have, he killed like 50 people, he was effectively a terrorist, if anyone in the wizarding world bothered to ask for help from the muggles instead of just telling them there was an invisible asshole flying around shooting death curses at everyone, they may have been able to help. 

Pretty much the only reason Voldermort thinks he’s better than muggles is because he’s able to kill them with impunity using magic, something he’s only able to do so easily because muggles don’t understand what magic is. Voldemort is basically like a fucking disease, he’s an invisible, lurking entity preying on mankind from the shadows like a cowardly piece of shit. You know what else did that? Smallpox and we stomped that to death the second we understood it. That’s the difference between muggles and wizards, when muggles don’t understand something, they figure it out.

And here’s the kicker, the only reason muggles don’t understand magic at all is because the wizarding world deliberately withholds information about it. However, even if the wizarding world kept doing that, it’d only be a matter of time until a muggle figured out what magic was and how to stop or harness it because that’s what humanity does, it pushes past what we think is impossible to see what’s on the other side. We didn’t understand the sun as a species originally and now we use it to power satellites and smartphones.

The wizarding world isn’t a realm of infinite possibilities, it’s a universe of strict limitations where boundaries are never questioned. The muggle world is where the real magic happens. That’s why during the course of the Harry Potter books, which are set between 1991 and 1998, the muggle world (our world) discovered dark matter, cloned a sheep and invented fucking MP3s while the wizarding world were literally paying some dipshit to figure out what the purpose of a rubber duck was.
