hiiiii everybodyyyy I have no idea what’s going on over yonder, but on other apps everyone is in a “discoursing about Steve Rogers” kind of mood, so the urge to make that spite video returned to me. plus I was enabled by several people telling me to do it and I needed a distraction from IRL bullshit

Steve had moved on from Peggy (and that could be shown in a separate video), but even more than that, he would never leave Bucky behind—especially after having just lost him again. Literally who is that man. RIP Steve Rogers. He ain’t dead but he might as well be! #notmysteve

Steve and Bucky's journey IS a love story, and while "love story" is a storytelling framework that doesn't have to equate to "romance," in this case it does. The argument is clear and easy to construct, and Marvel's given us more tools to do so through the audacity of copying for Steggy.

And while no one with a brain thought Stucky would ever be made more explicitly queer on screen, Marvels' attempt to course-correct by ignoring the centricity of Stucky's love story requires a level of character assassination for Steve that's as insulting as it is laughable.

Even if you’re unfamiliar with SPNWIN, this should be watchable & understandable to you! Aside from a short opening & ending, this video has 5 chapters: 1. DESTIEL 2. JACK + DEAN 3. CHUCK WON 4. THE TRAP 5. THE PATH TO FREEDOM The sections are designed to build upon each other.

@charcubed.bsky.social

This demonstrates how, through mirroring, SPNWIN acts as Dean's story. “Everyone moved on & I’m still here” energy, but I’m proud of how this came out. An accompanying (short) meta about this video that you can read before watching as a primer is on tumblr here: chuckwon.tumblr.com/post/8034091...

HI BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLY PEOPLE something I’ve yet to force upon you all is my current love for Doctor Odyssey, a very silly & fun show that’s doing canonical poly slow burn on network TV. YOU SHOULD WATCH IT my beloved friend drew this as a surprise for me & I love it SO much I can’t get over it 😭💕

THEY ARE MY CHILDREN. YOU WILL LOVE THEM. I’LL PITCH THEM IN MORE DETAIL TO YOU SOON BUT LOOK (and see how well Jenn captured them even without knowing them yet!!)

@charcubed.bsky.social

okay the tweet spam is done, I’m sorry for all of that I gotta maybe backpost some of my older severance thoughts from prior weeks too later I guess... I don’t know man, I’m winging it (<- butterfly pun?)

Char
@charcubed.bsky.social

#Severance spoilers . . . . Dylan’s wife says “I love you” to his innie & she says it was habit but she doesn’t say it to his outie when she’s leaving... Very heartbreaking how innie Dylan wants to be involved with his family but outie Dylan seems pretty disengaged 😩 The LAYERS

Char
@charcubed.bsky.social

#Severance (this was a reply but I’m adding it here) Lumon will “lose” bc of the power of the Innies’ love & their desire for autonomy / freedom. In a sense, they have a stronger appreciation for life — even the mundane — bc everything is new to them. No desensitization. Nothing taken for granted

Char
@charcubed.bsky.social

#Severance The Innies will reframe how the Outies see their lives — & they can do the same thing for us as audience if anyone’s paying attention to the inherit beauty of the show’s themes. What makes us who we are? What sorts of everyday things do we forgot to appreciate? & so on.

Char
@charcubed.bsky.social

#Severance spoilers . . . I’m just throwing some thoughts out here but A) did Cobel realize Helena meant something sinister with the word “reset” and B) uhhhhh if so, what does that potentially imply for what Lumon can do to its employees??

Char
@charcubed.bsky.social

#Severance spoilers . . . Now that Mark’s reintegrated & on an even stronger mission to save Gemma... Are we all ready to start having the fucked up convo about how being severed has been — so far — a voluntary procedure, so it’s not impossible Gemma somehow chose it too? Or nah

Char
@charcubed.bsky.social

#Severance I am just SAYING that I, personally, have been thinking a lot about the themes of grief & depression & escapism & “wellness,” & how we found out that Gemma & Mark were unable to have children. I have just been ruminating on that, y’know..........

Char
@charcubed.bsky.social

#Severance spoilers . . . . Reghabi brought up Gemma to Mark VERY quickly knowing he’d ask for reintegration… She leapt on the opportunity… Lowkey she has her own agenda & she may not be on Lumon’s side but she’s not above the manipulating love technique. Much to think about

Char
@charcubed.bsky.social

#Severance spoilers . . . . R: You were gonna fuck up your eyes & for what? Innies can’t reply, DUMBASS M: Okay?? HIS problem, not mine? Fuck off. Also hey please change my brain R: You sure? Jk I don’t care. Sit here. I’m not explaining shit to you but it won’t hurt. Probably

Char
@charcubed.bsky.social

#Severance spoilers . . . “What is something for which you feel shame?” SHAME. Self-consciousness, powerlessness, humiliation, guilt — gets you closer to alignment with your buried innie. Poetic. & OF COURSE, Mark associates shame with grief he blames himself for 😭 Man…

Char
@charcubed.bsky.social

#Severance spoilers . . . Natalie being the LITERAL mouthpiece of Lumon, tasked with crafting propaganda… Natalie, looking at Milchick & being unable to speak her mind as a POC bc all she can say are words on Lumon’s behalf or words she knows they’ll hear… The inherent silence. Holy fuck.

Char
@charcubed.bsky.social

#Severance So sinister how Lumon uses info about outies as rewards/perks for the innies — wellness, & now everything with Dylan — partially bc if the innies are focused on who they are “up there,” they’re less focused on forming THEIR autonomy & identities, & won’t rebel

Char
@charcubed.bsky.social

#Severance It’s going to be so fucking good when Dylan eventually wakes up & realizes how much effort Lumon is putting into placating HIM SPECIFICALLY. He’s a threat they’re keeping in line because he’s smart, clocks bullshit quickly, & is the heart of MDR. HE’S TOO POWERRFUUULLL

Char
@charcubed.bsky.social

#Severance spoilers . . . . . Irving drawing Burt is something I’ve been hoping & dreaming we’d get, & I CANNOT. FUCKING. BELIEVE. that not only did we get it already but we also got a whole book filled of him with the most romantic explanation possible. LOVE IS REEEAALLL

Char
@charcubed.bsky.social

Forgive me but in an effort to start learning to crosspost I’m logging on to copy & paste everything I just put on the bird app about the new severance ep & then logging off to go sleep I recognize this isn’t ideal because you’re all like “what fucking show is this Char” but I gotta start somewhere

Char
@charcubed.bsky.social

Heyyyy butterfly app people, this is how I’m informing you of one of my new interests!!!! THIS SHOW IS INCREDIBLE. PLEASE WATCH IT IF YOU HAVEN’T. (But my video has spoilers so maybe avoid it for now)

Char

devastated to learn this app has a 60 second limit for videos I was going to arrive out of nowhere and drop my new edit… what the FUCK. I’ll post the YouTube link I guess
