You have to admire her audacity, if nothing else.

Literally my favourite thing about Rogue One is that it makes the opening of New Hope so funny. Like, Vader has followed Leia from a planet he just blew up seconds ago and pursued her across the galaxy and then she’s just like: ‘I’m on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan’

Vader: You’re a rebel. I just had a fight with your entire rebel fleet and followed you here. Straight from the rebels. Of which you are a part

Leia: *dramatic gasp* rebel? Me???  I was just passing through. Diplomatically. Thought it was a five-space-ship pile-up or something going on there… 

death star plans? on my alderaanian diplomatic mission?it’s more likely than you think

wondertrevor: steve trevor and diana’s relati

via http://bit.ly/2M9vViO

wondertrevor:

steve trevor and diana’s relationship has existed since 1941 and yet the discourse surrounding it continues to prove that it is still, by today’s standards, a radical concept. rejecting this relationship isn’t as simple as “combating heteronormativity in media”, and to believe that is willful ignorance.

to start off, steve and diana’s relationship is, to put it simply, a relationship where the woman is unquestionably better than her boyfriend in almost every way, but most significantly in physical strength, the supposed traditional “masculine” quality. and he never resents her for it. on the contrary, he’s awed and impressed and reverent. he never feels emasculated by her strength and competence because he’s secure in his own worth and masculinity. he doesn’t have to one-up her to boost his own ego, he knows he’s good. she’s just better, and that’s okay, that just makes her more awesome to him. that’s why when diana does compliment steve’s skills, it’s not to placate him, he doesn’t need the reassurance. it’s because she loves him and chooses to let him know how much she values him, and ultimately that’s what’s truly feminist about their relationship.

steve trevor is a physically attractive man, charming and suave, a competent soldier in his own right. he’s a fighter pilot, he’s an intelligence officer, he’s a spy. he’s set up to be the traditional male hero. but he also exhibits commonly “feminine” traits: he’s sensitive, caring, loyal, sweet and affectionate, and not afraid to show his emotions. he enjoys cooking (another skill associated with women and femininity), and is canonically a much better cook than diana is. within the context of wonder woman stories, he’s often the damsel in distress, the metaphorical princess in the tower waiting for the knight in shining armor to rescue her. again, none of this compromises his own masculinity. he’s very much a badass, it’s not his fault he’s constantly up against supernatural creatures or greek gods. the comics make it clear: it’s okay for him to need diana’s help. 

steve and diana are a gender role reversal, but at the same time not. diana is the physically powerful one who battles monsters and saves the day, but she’s also a compassionate woman who, in many earlier stories, is interested in typical “women” things such as shopping and make-up. on the flipside, steve, for all of his feminine-coded traits, is a capable soldier who kicks ass and takes names and at one point leads a government organization. they are proof that men and women do not have to fall into stereotypical gender roles, that despite their subversion of gender roles they can still be nuanced and complex. that men and women can achieve true equality by complementing each other, that good men can and will stand by a woman, and a woman doesn’t have to hide her true capabilities to please male ego, she can be her own brilliant self and be loved and celebrated for it. 

the fact that there have been very few mainstream romances reminiscent of steve and diana’s dynamic is telling. the fact that people will often pair diana up with men who are considered “masculine” enough is very telling. the fact that people never question male heroes who have girlfriends but insist on taking away diana’s boyfriend means we are willing to let women be an accessory, an appendage in a man’s story, but when the story’s focus is on the woman, we insist that in order to prove her strength, she needs to bear all of her burdens alone, even though we would never ask male heroes the same thing. it means we buy into the toxic masculinity that a man who stands behind a woman is emasculated. it means that we believe love is a prize to be won, to prove yourself worthy to. it proves that yes, we still need relationships like that of steve and diana, even in this day and age.

lullabyknell: Fleur Delacour had the most impressive performance in the First Task of the Triwizard.

lullabyknell:

Fleur Delacour had the most impressive performance in the First Task of the Triwizard Tournament, imo, and it is a Crime that she came in last place. Like, sure, maybe what she did took awhile and it wasn’t flashy, but imo she did by far the most impressive, difficult, and most humane piece of magic. 

Like, there’s this pissed off dragon mother, right? It’s been boxed up, taken to this strange place, then stuck in a noisy arena where its eggs are being threatened. This dragon is probably Unbelievably scared and angry. 

It can take 4-8 grown wizard working in tandem to Stun a dragon, especially a pissed off one, but Fleur “fairy princess” Delacour walks into that arena, stares down an angry apex predator, and somehow manages to single-handedly enchant it to sleep. This Common Welsh Green is surrounded by hundreds of people, needs to protect its eggs, but Fleur Delacour’s magic manages to override all of its fear and anger? That is an incredible feat of powerful and probably very complex magic. 

Like, no wonder Fleur Delacour can come off as condescending, that is mind-blowingly impressive. That is the work of 4-8 adult wizards. You cannot tell me that the watching dragon-handlers were not LOSING THEIR MINDS. 

Between sexism and Fleur being part-Veela, it is unfortunately very realistic that she faces a lot of prejudice, but come on, Professors Sprout and Hagrid and etc. must have been going wild. It’s only some very bad luck that her skirt was accidentally set on fire. She got the golden egg. There was zero damage to the dragon or to the real eggs. Even if Madame Maxime and Fleur worked together to prepare it, Fleur still had to do it, and Madame Maxime would have been so rightly furious that Fleur’s bravery and magical skill wasn’t recognized. 

Anyway, part of where I’m going with this, is that this injustice also creates some choice eldest Weasley brother reactions. Like Bill Weasley is writing his regular letters to Charlie, right? And he happens to mention, “Hey, I met this woman at work, with that guardian beast problem with that tomb I was telling you about. Do you remember the Beauxbatons Champion, Fleur Delacour?” 

And Charlie Weasley writes back like, “DO I REMEMBER FLEUR DELACOUR? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! WE HAVE A POSTER OF HER ON OUR WALL! I HAVE HER GRADUATING CHARMS THESIS ON CALMING MAGICAL CREATURES AND I WANT IT SIGNED. SHE REVOLUTIONIZED OUR DEALINGS WITH DRAGONS HERE. INJURIES ON THE RESERVE FOR DRAGONS AND HANDLERS ARE DOWN BY LIKE 75% SINCE WE BEGAN IMPLEMENTING HER SPELLWORK.” 

“Uh, alright then. Well, you can send that to me and I will ask her to sign it for you,” Bill Weasley, an extremely successful Curse-Breaker, writes back. (It isn’t that he doesn’t find Fleur Delacour accomplishments very impressive, it is just that the poster on the wall thing is a Bit Weird.) “That’s not going to be weird when I ask her out or anything. Wish me luck.” 

And Charlie writes back, “LUCK? LUCK?! WILLIAM WEASLEY, IF YOU DON’T MARRY THAT WOMAN, I’LL DISOWN YOU. TELL HER THAT IF GRINGOTTS DOESN’T APPRECIATE HER, SHE CAN COME TO ROMANIA. WE’RE BROKE, BUT I HAVE A DOZEN MUSCLED WIZARDS, WITCHES, AND OTHERS READY TO PROPOSE TO HER ON THE SPOT.” 

“I was thinking dinner first,” Bill writes back. “But I’ll let her know?” 

So, Fleur initially has to deal with a lot of crap from the Weasley Family, but at least she’s always got Charlie “Number One Fleur Delacour Fan” Weasley in her corner. You’ll catch Uncle Charlie excitedly telling the story of Fleur Delacour in the First Task to Bill’s children forever. 

(Charlie: “IF YOU DON’T MARRY HER THEN I WILL!” 

Bill: “Charlie, you’re not even into women.” 

Charlie: “WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH THE MOST IMPRESSIVE DRAGON HANDLING I’VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE?!!”)
