The Weapon We Have Is Love

oh my god so at the savannah show we were talking to some people and they were like “oh yeah we ran into jd today on the street and we thought he had a pink hello kitty phone case” and at the time it was like “yeah…. sure…. maybe…”

ATTENTION ALL S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents:

Ready to fight injustice in the world, but not sure how? We’re proud to present the first Hero Toolkit for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In it you’ll find discussion points and action items for tackling sexism, ableism, and political engagement in our world by taking inspiration from the heroes of MCU.  Bonus: each toolkit comes with FREE gratuitous mentions of Steve Rogers and an irritable Social Justice Peggy. 

I’ve been working on the Fandom Forward Marvel Cinematic Universe toolkit for the past few months as Fandom Forward Project Manager for the Harry Potter Alliance, and finally the toolkit is released now, and I’m so so excited. 

This toolkit connects relevant social change issues - sexism, ableism, and political engagement - with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It has a ton of information about the issues and how they connect to the MCU, as well as really great discussion questions and action items for each issues, as well as some other really great resources.

I’m so so proud of my FF MCU team for all of their hard work and their insight into the world of Marvel and social change. This was an amazing start to the new Fandom Forward project and I’m so excited to see where this project will go from here. 

for rain & maddy. you should both read them all but i’ll note who i think would like each of them more. in no particular order.

alive: oneshot. bring back black. rly nice. maddy.

being an historical record of the events surrounding the unfortunate truth-or-dare game of february the twenty-second, and the consequences thereof: drunk truth or dare. it’s good trash rain. i think there might be a pdf i can track down if this layout is hard on the eyes. both of you.

long live living (if living can be this): modern au. the boys work in a castle over the summer. it’s cliche trash and it’s one of my top 3 marauders fics ever, i love my cliche trash boys. it’s so feel-good and i just. like it a lot. rain. (maddy’s read it and pointed out that it’s not That Amazing, to which i say: shush, i am awash in recently-graduated-student feelings.) 

likewise variable: work in progress. modern au. all-boys production of romeo and juliet, feat. remus as romeo and sirius as juliet. maddy this is the one i sent you that screencap from. i rly rly like it tbh. both of you tbh. 

highland fling: nc-17, sex happens so if thats a squick plz don’t feel pressured to read it. sirius is a student travelling, remus is a scottish dude whose dialogue i can barely read. it’s been a while since i read it but it’s a First Gay Experience story so rain you should try it. rain. 

common woodbrown: remus raises harry + realizes & tries to prove sirius’s innocence. v much a character study. maddy.

the art of walking backwards: bring back black. not nearly long enough it fuckin ends right where it should continue. it’s pretty though. maddy.

in stranger seasons: harry finds out about their relationship after sirius has died. sad. maddy.

the art of walking backwards: (not the same as the other, just the same title.) teddy finds out about r/s. i haven’t read this yet but ive got it bookmarked so? if you read it first let me know if its any good.

rain if you’ve never read the shoebox project, tell me bc you need to read this one particular chapter of it. i mean the whole thing is really good but its literally longer than order of the phoenix and the part you’d like best can more or less be read as a standalone.
