@ Everyone who wants more LGBT diversity in the MCU.

Start pushing for a movie or show about the Young Avengers, because hot fucking damn THERE YA GO.

Ya got Koralina Dean who is a lesbian, and has badass solar energy powers.

The girl she’s dating, Julie Power, who is pansexual.

Teddy Altman aka Dorrek, who is half Hulk half changling and also gay. He’s also an alien prince.

And Billy Kaplan, who has fucking reality warping abilities, a shitload of kenetic abilities, healing telepathy. He’s also Scarlet Witch’s reincarnated kid. He’s dating Dorrek.

So we’ve got these, frankly, awesome as all hell characters with some cool powers (seriously Wiccan’s powers are fucking badass, just like Scarlet Witch. And Koralina’s powers? Stunning to look at, absolutely stunning), yet I don’t see ANYBODY claiming about there not being enough LGBT represation talking about them; if it’s simply a matter of not knowing, here you are! Now you know, read up on them to your heart’s content just like I’m doing right now (Avengers Academy seems pretty damn interesting period, if it’s good and not apart of the clusterfuck that is currently Marvel I may just have to get some of the comics).

Marvel has always been pretty good about diversity with their characters; race, ethnicity, religion, sexuality, the whole shebang. So I’m not really understanding this need to force LGBT status on non-LGBT characters, when we have these characters already.

No, I don’t want Cap to have a boyfriend if it means it’s forced bs to make shippers happy, that doesn’t sit right with me. Give the characters like the ones listed above more love and attention, who knows we may see them on the big screen one day.

More of a chance than we will forcing LGBT status on non-LGBT characters, that’s for sure.

Frankly, I wanna see Northstar in something, and yes it is mostly because he’s Canadian.

..not what I meant to do this evening but look I made a tutorial!

this kinda got out of hand but I was having fun shh

remember to experiment around, there are many different ways to do things! B) it’s up to you finding the one you like!

also gomen for crappy handwriting and some rushed drawings

the usage of different types of english in elden ring

most human/tarnished NPCs we meet, like rogier, ansbach, and nepheli, use late modern english:

"a sorcerer, as you might have guessed. i'm looking for a little something, here in the castle. when i'm not hotfooting it from the troops, that is." - rogier, first meeting "general radahn. a pleasure to see you, after all this time. but those remains do not belong to you." - ansbach, upon summon for PCR

but older demigods like messmer, ranni, and morgott use early modern english:

"thou'rt tarnished, it seemeth. mother, wouldst thou truly lordship sanction, in one so bereft of light? yet… my purpose standeth unchanged." - messmer, pre-battle cutscene "thou needst not indulge them unduly, but they too wish to appraise thy worth. it hath been a passing long time since a newcomer entered my service, after all." - ranni, after agreeing to serve her

then there are the younger demigods, like miquella, malenia, and potentially melina, who use a later variant of modern english, similar to the tarnished NPCs we speak to:

"if we honour our part of the vow, promise me you'll be my consort. i'll make the world a gentler place." - miquella, post-PCR cutscene "the scarlet bloom flowers once more. you will witness true horror. now, rot!" - malenia, phase 2 transition cutscene

finally, the hornsent NPCs like the hornsent, hornsent grandam, and the hornsent spirits such as the one outside the whipping hut, who use late middle english similar to the english found in shakespeare's sonnets:

"fie, another? ... then, as that woman would surely say, we are in our purposes well aligned. but understand. your kind are not forgiven. the erdtree is my people's enemy. by marika long betray'd, set aflame." - hornsent, first meeting "all your resentment lingers yet... the raw stuff from which i shall surely forge a curse. upon the dastard messmer's head. upon marika's children each and all." - scorched ruins hornsent spirit

i find it interesting how different the usage of english is in the game, and i feel that it can be a hint on how to properly date an individual's occupation in the lands between/land of shadow. the hornsent, being a people much older than many in the lands between, use the most archaic version of english, while the tarnished and younger demigods use a form of english more closely related to our own in the current period. older demigods (and marika herself, as heard from melina's recounts of marika's spoken echoes) use a form of english more closely related to the period of transition from middle english to early modern english.

additionally, another interesting thing to me: mohg is almost certainly nearly the same age as morgott (since they're referred to as twins), yet he speaks a little differently compared to morgott:

"tarnished, thou'rt but a fool." - morgott, post-battle dialogue "dearest miquella. you must abide alone a while." - mohg, pre-battle cutscene

this makes me wonder if it's possible that, assuming that miquella's verbiage is indicative of his younger age in comparison to the older demigods (aka the demigods born before the marika/radagon union), miquella's charm altered mohg's perception enough to also alter his manner of speaking and carrying himself in some way. if his pursuit of finery (dressing in embroidered robes and handling himself with poise, juxtaposing his bestial growls and strength) was mainly done in an effort to fit into miquella's ideal of a consort. of course, mohg could just be as vain as he seems to be all on his own accord, but i find that it's interesting to entertain the idea that even his current state of being was due to miquella's charm.

i'd love to hear what others think about this. i'm not very learned when it comes to english (it's not really my first language), but i find this all very cool to think about.
