TW: racism, antiziganism, whitewashing, uses of g slur, fatphobia, misgendering, ageism, toxic fandom, long post.

This post is a bit off topic but, as someone who has been following Marvel’s comic book industry for almost ten years now, I feel like it’s my duty to use my voice and not be quiet about the blatant shit show that is happening to a character that is also a member of the magic community and has been suffering a lot lately in the hands of people who have little to no regard towards her heritage.

It was just a rumor back then (and Donny Cates even denied it in the past) but it does seem that Feige is using the MCU to influence comic books in most recent runs, ESPECIALLY regarding certain characters.

Now, let’s be honest. This is not new. We all remember when the cast of the Fantastic Four reboot died in a explosion in the pages of Punisher #12, eight years ago. A clear retaliation at the movie and FOX’s terrible decisions. We all know that this is probably the reason why the first family book was cancelled as well. The group remained in the shadows and only Reed had a decent spotlight thanks to New Avengers v3 and Secret Wars, disappearing next along with Sue, the kids and the Future Foundation. They only returned fully with a new volume in 2018, and most fans’ dreams and hopes slowly died out with Dan Slott’s bad takes and writing (erasing Franklin’s X gene, putting three women to fight over a man, reversing Infamous Doom to his villain self and throwing away his character development just because he wanted Victor as a villain etc etc etc).

Very well. Still, the FF survived. No one reversed Galactus into a cosmic cloud. No one turned Victor into a metallic guy with electric powers who wanted to marry Sue (thank the Vishanti). And whatever happened in the reboot (which I didn’t watch) certainly wasn’t adapted into comics.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m not here to gatekeep comic books. In fact, I’ve been committed to introducing them to my followers since day 1 on this hellsite. Unlike many fans, I didn’t grow up with them. Movies had a huge influence on me and I had a long journey. Movies and animated TV shows are part of the reason I dove into this universe, in the first place. Which is fine. I can take a bad adaption and move on.

What I can’t take is what they’re trying to do with Wanda, because it reeks of racism.

The whole point of this new Wanda volume is to give her the proper representation and atone for the years of colorism, a systematic problem that keeps happening in the industry. Just because she was portrayed as white in the past, it doesn’t mean she’s not a woc, especially when it’s said in canon that she has dark skin. There are plenty of roma people talking on this matter and how it’s meaningful to acknowledge that Wanda is brown, even when white roma people exist (1, 2, 3, 4).

The crew is in fact very committed to it, as stated by Steve Orlando here:

Now, what is happening to the new Scarlet Witch volume? Two things. The blatant whitewashing in variant covers and their need to push the MCU into 616!Wanda, first by introducing Darcy and now deaging Agatha.

Let’s be clear. There was a MASSIVE effort from the team to portray Wanda's heritage, which has been constantly dismissed by the lack of effort from the artists.

Here’s one example, from Jeehyung Lee, tracing what I think is a k-pop singer (but I don't really remember her name so correct me if I’m wrong). In any case, she was traced over a korean woman. This is not the first problem with this artist since he also made the same with Storm’s model in MFF by tracing Charlize Theron over Ororo.

In addition to anti-blackness, this is also an issue of interchangeable ethnicity, the same that happened to America Chavez, when she’s established as Puerto Rican, not Mexican, as the pin on her jacket suggests (and yes, her cast is also filled with anti-blackness. Nothing against Xochitl, but I touched this matter before when I wrote about DSIMOM. And yes, TAO’s MCU is also bad, very bad, very very very bad).

I just keep seeing this over and over again. You shouldn't be defending her whiteness. You *SHOULDN'T*. Unless you have a problem that Wanda is a brown romani woman. It’s imperative that people understand that representation matters and poc have been time and time whitewashed in this very same industry (Sunspot/Roberto da Costa is just one example and was also whitewashed in that terrible New Mutants adaptation).

The issue here is to push a problematic and harmful portrayal of Wanda on her comic book version. And it’s only happening to her due to the popularity of said character and artist.

More thant that, her stans ARE using Olsen’s Wanda to shield racism. Some of you are actually not even hiding it. The following is a list of racist comments and accounts. I’ll leave them under the cut in case people don’t want to see it.

Regarding the WV variant cover for Wanda #3 by David Nakamura:

And plain racism overall:

On a side note...

Just today I was harassed by this troll here. And no, I’m not hiding your @ because you went to MY post and felt compelled to misgender me, be fatphobic and also god knows why felt entitled to call Wanda ableist (????)

As I said, I didn’t grow up with comics. When I first met Wanda, I didn’t know she was neither Roma, Jewish or brown. And this itself is a problem because it should be clear, it should have been portrayed in the comics, it should have been common knowledge. All it takes is just to listen to people and understand the systematic racism and whitewashing in the comic book and cinema industries.

They ALWAYS double down on Wanda’s whiteness. No, darling, it’s not okay to stan two versions of the same character when time and time the marginalized one is a target of racism. When they weaponize every single attempt at calling out the harm that MCU has caused on her character to the point of even using reverse racism, ableism and many other blatant lies to slander 616!Wanda, when her MCU can do pretty much whatever she wishes because she’s white so that’s okay. And don’t even dare bring feminism here because you don’t care about woc. You only care about white women.

In any case, I just want to shed light on this matter because this effort of pushing MCU into comics isn’t happening to any other Marvel character, ESPECIALLY when the change is for the better. Wong is powerful, body-positive and having more than one-dimensional relationship in the MCU. Where’s the effort to do that in comics? Layla is literally the best part of Moon Knight. Where is she?

Why they want so bad to push a white woman on a book that is supposed to praise Wanda’s romani heritage? It’s obvious that they want to sell and some execs are siding with the portion of this toxic and racist fandom.

Comics are not perfect, we know that. But there has been a huge effort to support the marginalized voices in this industry. Marvel’s Voices, pride and heritage are all examples. Besides, they’ve always been political. Always.

What they’re doing to Wanda is evil and lazy. As an artist and colorist, it’s YOUR DUTY to search and at least be aware of what characters you’re trying to conceive. There’s no way variant artists didn’t see the main cover for issue #1 by Dauterman.

This is not just ignorance. It’s a statement. A statement that it’s okay to ignore a marginalized group and its attempt to give visibility to said group. And Orlando knew that when he said he didn’t have control over the rest of the creative team.

It’s fine if the MCU wants to push some elements like they did in the past. But this is not just any element. It’s harmful and I’ll not be quiet about it. 616!Wanda is getting more and more marginalized, whereas her whitewashed version is praised and loved. And now there’s an attempt at reconciling both as if it was okay. It’s not. MCU!Wanda doesn’t know racism. MCU!Wanda joined Hydra. MCU!Wanda has the privilege 616!Wanda could never afford for being a brown roma woman. And now the racist fandom wants to claim both in order to erase 616!Wanda’s heritage and history of fighting racism.

All I can ask is, if you’re buying this comic book, DO NOT SUPPORT the variant covers. Let them rot. We know the racists are not supporting the book anyways. They’ll just buy the variant cover and that’s it.

PS: I’m not Roma so feel free to correct me in any aspect. Just using my voice to boost awareness.

PS²: Olsen stans DNI or else will be blocked at sight. I’m done with every single of you.

I guess it depends on how stable the relationship, old or new. Thoughts on jealousy? Even if you reassured him repeatedly, would he become sulky rather than jealous or would the jealousy completely disappear? Or can he not help himself?

If you had a minor disagreement with him do you think he would he get hung up on it? Like keep asking you if you’re mad or something.

If you’re upset abt something is he the type to simply ask you, “whats wrong?” Or does he say, “Did I do something wrong?”

Some scenarios I have to think over bc I remember that he was constantly belittled in his life which evidently has affected his mental state and self image. But yeah, honestly could talk all day about the max hypotheticals, these are the ones I’ve been thinking of as of late 🤭

Ooooookay, more Max discussion :) Yes yes yes.

I think that no matter how long Max is in a relationship with someone, he's always going to struggle with jealousy. I wouldn't say that he'd sulk but his temper would flare immediately and he'd definitely start with the "if looks could kill, you'd be in a billion pieces" staring. It wouldn't be a leap for him to hurt the person he thinks has designs on his partner. I don't think he'd be able to help himself with that.

Minor disagreement, however, I don't think he'd be unreasonable. I think he'd be more curious, want to know why you think/believe the way you do. He'd definitely ask at least once if you're mad at him, though he'll read your tone and body language to tell whether than trust your words. As far as the disagreement itself, I think his approach to it is "Explain it to me because I know my brain works different than yours".

I think it depends on the situation if he'd simply ask "what's wrong?" or "Did I do something wrong?". If for any reason at all HE thinks that he might be the problem, he'd ask if he did something wrong. But like if he just walks in after being gone all day and finds his partner upset, it's a "what's wrong? What happened?" response.

This is the most engaging shit I've ever gotten through asks and I've been on this hellsite for over ten years so NO NEED TO EXPLAIN. My god, I'm so happy with this.

Also, Max is a FASCINATING character and I totally get what you mean. I'll catch myself muscle memory working at my job and randomly thinking how Max would react in certain situations.

Speaking of all this, bestie, you should really read my Max fic on ao3. I don't update it super often (I don't update any of them super often anymore, life's being a bitch) but I'm really proud of what I have posted and I think you'd like it.

Anyway, thanks for the ask!

oh wow just actually went to your blog home and saw your pinned post for the first time? you are a sickening little individual and i would like to wish the worst for you. You're on the mutual aid website, bitch.

Brother this isn’t the mutual aid website this is the hellsite and as I explained in the pinned post you’re misrepresenting, I fully support people crowdfunding, I know that it is an unfortunate necessity in this day and age.

However, coming into someone’s asks/messages/reblogs when you’ve never spoken to them even in passing and then begging for money, especially when you don’t know their situation and you don’t know how it will affect them, is disgusting. It’s not our job to fund anyone else but ourself.

Now is it nice, polite and kind to give to charities or to those in need when and if you have the extra cash or if you can donate or volunteer time? Absolutely! It’s part of human nature to care for one another.

But to have it be an expectation, to have some random internet stranger who hasn’t even bothered to attempt a basic conversation (hello, how are you, how’s life treating you etc) show up out of nowhere and pretty much demand that you give them money, and then guilt trip you before you’ve even had a chance to confirm deny or offer other help is absolutely disgusting, it’s a low blow, especially on a site where most of the userbase is poor, disadvantaged, disabled or unsafe for other reasons.

The tactics used by scammers are the exact same ones on desplay in these ebegging situations, think Nigerian princes of the new age. Half the population of tumblr are teens who haven’t experienced scams yet, or they’re so compassionate and willing to give more than they have just so someone else can survive.

Not that it’s your business, but I have been struggling to even pay rent and buy food for the past couple years, I’ve spent months sewing up the same pair of jeans and living off of plain white rice, hell I was nearly homeless at one point because my finances were so bad. And then I get ten different cases of randoms on the internet trying to make me feel guilty because I can’t give them 100 dollars, buddy if I had 100 quid it wouldn’t be going to anything but food or rent.

And also as I mentioned in the pinned post, I don’t wish any hate or mistreatment to these people. Because most of them are just humans struggling to get by, they’re just going about it in a shitty way.

Everyone struggles and trust me once I win the lottery I’ll donate to every charity case I can find but until then arseholes like you and all those fake ebegging cunts can fuck right off.

Also. Allow me for the first time since high school to post anything real about myself.

Hi!! My name is Effy. I’m a pastry cook who just recently left their exceedingly stressful job at a bakery in Louisiana. I’m currently basking in the light of not having to wake up at 2 am anymore and actually enjoying my life again. My eczema cleared up..life is much much much better.

I mostly work with chocolates, such as bonbons.

These ^^ were the strawberry cheesecake ones I made. I spent about ten hours a day in a windowless, highly lit white room painstakingly making these by hand. My eyes would burn when I finally went out into the sun after my breaks 10 hour days…I was miserable and also so creatively fulfilled. I only left because I finally hit my breaking point after my male boss called me a bitch.

This is all to say: don’t waste your time staying somewhere where you’re not fulfilled and degraded. I spent so much time feeling terrible and angry. I wish I could get that time back. But I’m glad I finally walked out and will never ever ever go back again.

ANYWAY. I’ve been on tumblr since 2013. Back in the days of the OG homestuck superwholock wars. Unfortunately I was both, somehow I still managed to get laid during this time despite this. I’m not into any fandom related stuff anymore besides trixie and Katya and some OTGW. But even then, I haven’t read or written fan fiction in years (though I used to and it haunts me it’s still there somewhere…) it’s so strange what this website has become, it’s soo much less toxic and useless now that Instagram and tiktok merged to become the demon they are now. Twitter was always terrible so I don’t even feel we lost anything by musk buying it if I’m being honest. I’m glad I’m still on here for the art and music recommendations and the poetry.

It really does feel like this entire website has grown up with me and it’s cozy. It’s still a cursed hellfire but it’s OUR cursed hellsite.

Ten Years of Tumblr

Holy crap… it’s been ten years. And I actually made a post about it on time.

I can’t believe I actially made it. I made this blog in March of 2012 for reasons I don’t even remember anymore, but I didn’t use it until September. It’s been a LOT of ups and downs. I wanted to abandon this site so, SO many times. I have a lot of posts and stuff that I regret writing. I have reblogs of people and media I no longer support. Fandoms I’ve dropped in and out of for various reasons.

Yet despite it all, I’m somehow still here. Maybe I’ve succumbed to the insanity, who knows? The fact that I’ve chronicled ten years worth of my life on here. From my 19 year old self to my current 29 year old self… damn. That’s crazy. I’ve certainly changed in both good and bad ways. I had a lot of tantrums and hypocritical behavior. I made rants. I got angry. I said a lot of stuff I’m embarassed about now. I was really naive about some things. There’s a lot I can say about past me. But at the same time I grew more awareness. I’m catching myself on those flaws more. I became more open to acknowledging things like ky sexuality and my love of animation without being scared. While I’m in a rut right now, I’ve been growing as a reviewer and analyst woth media. I’ve had my bad takes, but I feel overall I’ve been able to be fairly open minded.

Ive gad so many ups and downs the past few years. So many deaths, including my dad. It’s all chronicled on here. But life has continued on. I’ve continued on. Despite all the grievances about Tumblr I’ve had, it’s the one place I feel I can be myself. I can reblog GIFs of the cartoons I grew up on. I can write metas on characters and pairings I like. I can just do my own thing and not worry about being judged for it. Overall, Tumblr is a Hellsite. But hey, it’s the Hellsite I’ve stuck around for, and I don’t intend on leaving yet.

IDK what else to say tbh. But to thkse who ahve followed me, whether it be from the start or recently, thank you. Thank you for putting up with me and my insanity. Thank you for enjoying the stuff I put on here. Thank you for the follows, whether you have an account or just like to tune in once in a while. Mu fandoms have varied, so I know how frustrating it can be to keep up with haha. But thank you all for making me feel a little less like an outsider. I know I’m quiet and mostly stick to myself, but it really feels good to be in a place where I can be me and be accepted.

Will I make it another ten years? Who knows? That’s then, this is now. Thank you again, and happy blogging everyone~
