Participants in the Defenders Big Bang will create stories and art focusing on one or more of the characters from
Marvel’s The Defenders Netflix universe. This includes all the
characters from Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist, as
well as from The Punisher. If you want to write about the Defenders
teaming up with the Avengers or another team, go for it, just keep your
focus on the Defenders character(s). You don’t have to just focus on the
ones with the superpowers, though. If you want to write an ode to
Claire Temple, a character study of Misty Knight, or just Foggy Nelson
Having a Really Good Day, this is the bang for you.
This bang welcomes both gen fic and romantic/sexual pairings (any of
them, including OT3+). Stories can be canon compliant, canon divergent,
AUs, alternate timeline, or crossovers.

And why: because I was bumbling along on AO3, as you do. In the intros to their fics, a few people mentioned their tumblr blog, and I went ‘ooooh, sounds shiny’ and signed up. My first fandom on Tumblr was Avengers.
Herd immunity is the idea that if enough people get immunized against a disease, they’ll create protection for even those who aren’t vaccinated. This is important to protect those who can’t get vaccinated, like immunocompromised children.
You can see in the image how low levels of vaccination lead to everyone getting infected. Medium levels slow down the progression of the illness, but they don’t offer robust protection to the unvaccinated. But once you get a high enough level of vaccination, the disease gets effectively road-blocked. It can’t spread fast enough because it encounters too many vaccinated individuals, and so the majority of the population (even the unvaccinated people) are protected.
sajhdglasjh aaaaaah ty!! THESE DURIN MEN (says Hrera in exasperation),

This amazing Russian artist chose to give me an absolutely stunning Gigolas artwork after reading Nothing Gold Can Stay! Go have a look and give well-deserved kudos? There is explicit male nudity but no sexual content. 🙂
Also, reblogs would be appreciated– my tags never show up in the official tag list, so all help getting Risowator much-deserved praise is appreciated!
idk why u used so many words to say “i hate bi people” when the 4 i just used work fine
this ask is unfortunate lmfao dont yall ever get tired of just copying the same bullshit over and over in order to try and promote biphobia within the l/g community and vise versa…like…we don’t hold privilege over each other when will that argument die!!! is a couple who looks like a man and a woman less likely to be attacked than a couple who looks like two men or two women?? yes of course but in stating that bi people in “het passing” (which is a gross term btw but ok) relationships hold actual privilege over lesbians and gay men ur also throwing non binary and trans people under the bus. a trans woman, even a straight trans woman, will never hold privilege over a gay cis man!!! can yall honestly just like stop sucking ur own asses for one (1) mfing moment like honestly are u capable of just,,,,hitting that little red x at the top of the screen and going outside? talking to someone in a non-virtual setting? have u ever even been to a physical queer space in real time lmao?? have u ever seen a bi person face-to-face? are we just these hypothetical creatures that yall don’t actually know that much about, but u have heard that we like to wave our nasty bisexuality in ur face a lot and talk about how we just love ending up with the opposite sex!! u have heard all about our “bi privilege” and so u have just taken it upon urselves to make sure we are aware of all the ways in which we are less queer + more straight than yall!
not to mention “bihets” like??? even if u were TRYING to seem like u don’t hate “”””all”””” bi people, u fucking failed dude lol goodnight thanks for playing but u didn’t land the shot. i can’t believe u made me read this with my own two eyes lmao i need leyesol to wash em out with
so lets just talk about bi privilege for a sec just like sit down and get ready bbygirl because u managed to hit me on a day where i have the time to work through this trash ask one moldy letter at a time. like i get the confusion but when i say my blog is garbage i don’t mean it in the literal sense and it’s not an invitation for u to flush ur soiled tampons down into my inbox
bi privilege is being made aware that our status as bi relies on the gender of our partner, and that depending on who we choose to fuck or date, our sexuality is always going to be erased by the people around us. bi privilege is being treated like bisexuality is temporary, and we’re bound to “pick a side eventually”–because falling in love and deciding to enter a faithful monogamous relationship with someone completely overrides the fact that we are still and always will be bi
bi privilege is being talked down to about what “bi” really means, by people who aren’t even bi. it means being accepted only under the conditions that we throw out the smaller parts of our own community–non binary bi people, trans bi people, ace bi people, aro bi people–so that we can rest easy knowing that the gatekeepers aren’t coming for us (yet)
bi privilege is not being considered acceptable unless we’re “gay enough” (read: dating someone of the same gender, so good luck if ur nb) for u, but the second a bi person jokingly calls themselves gay, yall lose ur goddamned minds because apparently a bi person calling themselves gay is a queer nuclear apocalypse (but yall can call us “bihet” and “basically straight” all day long ok sure jan)
bi privilege is having to dismantle the “we’re just gonna cheat on u” and “we’re just experimenting” and “we’re just looking for attention” and “we’re just confused” and “we’re going to suddenly wake up one day and realize that we miss guys/girls” stereotypes before we can be deemed “dateable” by straight OR gay people
bi privilege is having self-identified bisexuals constantly erased as gay or straight, both within and outside of the lgbta+ community (yes i am talking about david bowie and freddie mercury and angelina jolie and halsey). bi privilege is having bisexual characters dropped the minute they aren’t in a same-sex relationship, and are “more visibly representative of the entire lgbta+ community”–because bi characters can never just be for bi folks (yes i am talking about clarke griffin and sara lance and ravi roy)
by the way, u didn’t mention in ur ask but i’m assuming this hatred of bi people doesn’t stop at just those in “het passing” relationships, and continues to encompass closeted bi people, questioning bi people, and bi people who aren’t in a relationship at all, so that ur left with the comfortable (if purposefully minuscule) crowd of “acceptable” bi people: strictly male or female (no enbys allowed) bi people in strictly m/m or f/f relationships. and like, i know this might be shocking because i am technically acceptable by those standards, but that’s complete horse shit and yall know it. at this point i’m half convinced u just like looking stupid. maybe it’s a kink
u know what’s unfortunate? the fact that u would rather take the time it takes to send me this than learn about bi people, who make up almost the majority of ur community, but i guess u just can’t be assed to care about us unless we “pick the right side”
u know what’s unfortunate? the fact that nothing from my answer is meant to imply that gay men and women don’t face their own myriad of issues both within and outside of the lgbta+ community (because they certainly do) but i know the biphobes out there are incapable of seeing literally anything written by a bi person that doesn’t explicitly condemn “het” relationships without thinking it’s bi code for “hi hate gay people”, and so i’m gonna end up with a litany of comments about how i’m homophobic because i’m not willing to swallow ur diatribe of biphobic rhetoric like a cheap blow job, thanks for that
honestly it’s like if i don’t consistently post 24/7/365 (366 on leap year) about how much i hate those gross male men people and how unfortunate it is that i’ve ever even looked at a boy and how i have nightmares about possibly holding a gross boy man hand in the future then yall rush to accuse me of being a “bihet” or a “fake bi” or a lesbophobe or whatever
and that’s not to mention the fact that when i say i’m asexual yall about have an aneurism because–ASEXUALITY IS JUST INTERNALIZED HOMOPHOBIA and don’t i know that i actually DO want to ride my gf’s face deep down inside i just secretly hate girls including myself too damn much howsad.gif
u know what’s unfortunate? the fact that yall are more concerned with those nasty “bihets” than the biphobia and transphobia and aphobia and racism running rampant within yalls community. and yall would rather do more to widen the gap between the mga and l/g communities than to close it, and yall would rather try and pit bi people against each other based on who we date and sleep with than support us (unless, apparently, we’re “gay enough” for u). sort out ur fucking priorities m8, they make u look like a tool
*STANDING OVATION*
oh and also I quickly wanna add – Brenda Howard, the Mother of Pride, was an activist and a proud bisexual woman in a relationship with a man. Organised the very first Pride March. I’ll quote from that piece I just linked: We march today because a bisexual woman marched then.
Riiiight, fucknuckle, a real ‘drain on the community’.
know your damn history before you decide to be a POS.
