“Captain Marvel’s more powerful than any character we’ve introduced thus far, so that alone tells you that there’s a reason Nick hit that button when he realized that they were up against something far bigger than they had ever been up against before. And having her on your side is hopefully going to change the balance of power in a way that they desperately need.” —

Most shows I’ve seen that mention fan fiction readers/writers portray them as kinda oddball super-geeks with no lives or social skills.
So I wanna take a moment to appreciate the fact that in Parks & Recreation, the character who writes fan fiction is the intelligent, successful, and good-looking primary love interest of the main character.
Also I want to read the full fic he wrote.
It’s only unrealistic because he said he finished it.
He’s obviously lying, so it’s very realistic.
Here we have Terry from Brooklyn Nine Nine. He’s an Absolute Unit, father, police officer, black, intelligent, kind, a main character……and writes fanfiction from The Good Wife.
B99 - breaking stereotypes all over the place.
ETA: gifset not mine, I think it’s from @msjessicaday
Note that both shows are from the same creator. Who also writes Kant fanfiction and calls it “The Good Place.”
I’m afraid my singing causes a lot of tension between me and the rest of the world. I sang at my wife’s birthday one year to cries of “less”. But I loved singing in Mamma Mia! If I have to apologize afterwards, so be it.

It really spoke to me, because usually the job of teaching a boy to tie a tie is left up to the father figure. Peter’s parents are dead, and Ben died the year before. Ben would have taught Peter to tie his own tie for homecoming, had he still been alive. This means the job was left to May. As we can see she clearly doesn’t know how to tie a tie, and in true modern day fashion turns to videos on the internet, but get this. She’s learning to tie it with him. I repeat. Instead of putting the video on and letting him have at it, she’s also learning along with him.
I appreciate Iron dad and spiderson as much as the next person, but I think we often forget that May was forced to transition from aunt by marriage, to mother figure. Then when Ben passed, she took on the role of being an aunt, mother, and father to Peter. She’s raising a teenage boy all on her own.
Half of both her and Peter’s support system is gone, and she manages to keep on like a trooper, while still supporting Peter.
She truly is an amazing woman who deserves such love and recognition.
