Women’s anger isn’t pretty or useful to men. It prevents them from cheering their male superhero on from the peanut gallery; it makes them unattainable in a way that’s not because the hero is being admirably noble. Also, it makes their faces go all scrunchy, and we can’t have that; never forget Jessica Alba being told to “cry pretty” on the set of Rise of the Silver Surfer, or, more recently, Joss Whedon telling Elizabeth Olsen to keep her face calm during Age of Ultron’s fight scenes because an angry, combative face was unattractive.

There’s a reason women love Agent Carter, a show powered by a subtextual engine of Peggy’s grief, frustration, and rage. There’s a reason Laurel Lance never clicked as a character until her largely incoherent but still deeply satisfying Season 2 rage spiral; life has done her wrong, and she’s finally, finally hitting back. There’s a reason so many readers are proudly labeling themselves non-compliant. We so rarely get to see our own anger reflected in mass media, and when we do, it’s deeply cathartic.

I’m so ready for Jessica Jones to be furious for a whole 13 episodes of her first season. I’m hoping Karen Page gets to be as livid as Foggy was when she finds out that Matt is Daredevil. I want Sara Lance to come back from the grave as spitting mad as she was when she went in, and I want Laurel and Thea and especially poor Felicity, sadly defanged by her romantic entanglement with Oliver in Season 3, to get and stay angry with Oliver when he inevitably does something dishonest or ethically dubious. Even Supergirl – as sunshiney as Kara seems, and as I want her to be, I also want her to be allowed to get pissed when the situation warrants it. Girl’s got laser-eyes for a reason. 

I’m so excited for this coming year of superhero TV to bring me Supergirl, and Jessica Jones, and Peggy Carter, and Speedy and Hawkgirl and two different Canaries. And I’m excited for the supporting stories of Iris West and Karen Page and Felicity Smoak and Caitlin Snow and Alex Danvers and Angie Martinelli.

But God, I hope they get to be angry this year. Because these women have been through enough to make them mad as hell. And I don’t want them to have to take it anymore.

there is a small chance NOT ALL CHARMS MAY BE PRINTED!

Since there is many charms to choose from and unfortunately they are pricier than usual I’m afraid not all of them may end up printed. There are certain minimum requirements below which I wouldn’t be able to order them.

MINIMAL REQUIREMENTS for double charms:

  • 35 charms ordered >>> 5 most popular designs will be printed
  • 60 charms ordered >>> 10 most popular designs will be printed
  • 85 charms ordered >>> all 11 most popular designs will be printed

Sorry for all those goodies spam. It will continue for the rest of the week. I really want to fulfill this preorder  minimum requirements and annoying advertisement is the only outlet I have. That’s why I’ll be super grateful for all reblogs <3.

I’d like to add this is Christmas preorder. I know it’s bit early but I want to be sure everybody will have chance to get their goodies on time.

I also don’t know when I’ll be organizing preorders for those next time. Probably next Christmas. So if you want some of those charms better snag them now unless you are ok with waiting at least half a year  for next chance. 

I just did my math. Summing up in fancy way double charms and separate 1″ and 1.5″ charms we have 24 orders right now. If I’d like to print all ordered charms right now I’d need to reach goal of 60 sold charms. 

So right now we are at 40% of goal. Wohoo! I believe we can make it! :3

Hey, guys!

I have the Peggy charm and it is SUPER CUTE in real life.  Check these out!

As for me, I have to decide between Clint (Because bird Clint), Carol (BECAUSE CHEEEEEWIE) and Tony (Because DUMMY)

Decisions, decisions…

nocek’s charms are awesome and they usually include some kind of original art in the order.  The stickers are fabulous toooooooo.

God I love this moment.

Because this? This is what men do. Even today, they don’t see women; they see some version of her that speaks to their own masculinity. That part of a girl that makes them feel strong and powerful and righteous in one way or another. 

None of them bothered to see who Peggy Carter really is because none of them cared. All they cared about is how she made them look to the outside world, how their actions towards her made them feel about themselves. The Father, The Knight, The Nice Guy.

And here my girl is, calling them all out on it. Here she is saying, if you actually saw me as a person, you would’ve seen what I was doing. You would’ve known. Don’t blame me for not being able to see past your ego.

Peggy Carter has never and will never put up with this misogynistic bullshit and I am HERE for it.

This scene is iconic.

Captain America: The First Avenger Audio Commentary:

“Same pub, now bombed. This is an interesting scene in that we re-shot it with Steve being not quite so weepy, and we went back to the original footage on this. In an earlier version of the movie we wanted to change his vulnerability and make him a little more angry or intense, but it was his vulnerability that gave him humanity and emotion. So going back to it was a good thing because it was all there.”

sherloques:

Captain America: The First Avenger Audio Commentary:

“This scene was added in [post-production] just to have him change his attitude and be determined. That was always the thing we were trying to balance. He gets activated by hearing about Bucky, that’s the thing that really makes him realize that it’s time to take a stand and contribute in a way that’s more than just doing the show. Bucky has got to be the only reason that he would go AWOL for. It becomes personal.”

Captain America: The First Avenger Audio Commentary:

“[Their relationship] a tricky one too, because they have a romance, but it’s an oblique one. It runs the course of the movie in a really interesting way, and it ends up in a very interesting place, but it’s not your usual arc. But there’s always this great energy between them that you can feel whenever they’re on screen.”
