oh godddddddd

physio + a doctor’s appointment = a lot of toing and froing and jfc

i am a ball of pain

also i got all hot and faint and breathless and headachey during the trigger point stuff which was unpleasant 

but he was v nice and got me cold water, and is very careful not to over do things

i however am the dumbaline who goes ‘no no it’s fine i can totally take this… o hang on i can’t breathe wtf’

anyway the physio sent a letter with deets about my rubbish gait, motor deficits and the hypermobility stuff to the doctor so it’s now all on record

and the dr has done up a referral to the cardiology unit for me so i am now waiting for them to get in touch

so it’s all good, things finally make sense & r getting documented

BUT SERIOUSLY BALL OF PAIN

NEVER AGAIN THE TWO APPOINTMENTS IN ONE DAY TIMES

“Same’s true of the Black Widow. Scarlett Johanssen looked great in that outfit, but she seemed to be there only as eye candy. The shot in the middle of the battle where she pulls out a pistol was silly. I don’t know who this Black Widow was, and I don’t think the screenwriter did either. She wasn’t the original comic Black Widow, the Russian femme fatale who seduces Hawkeye into trying to kill Iron Man. She wasn’t the later comic book Black Widow, who dons a costume, comes over to the good guys, and teams with first Hawkeye and then Daredevil. She was just… there.”

George R. R. Martin, on reviewing the Avengers. [SOURCE]

Okay, George, I do totally agree with your earlier assessment of Hawkeye. I’ll give you that he didn’t have enough screentime to get proper development. But no. I can’t even let you finish, there will be no finishing of the Kanye West meme here. WERE WE WATCHING THE SAME FILM?

I don’t want to automatically fall back on the “you think she’s just eye candy, because you’re a male” argument, because that’s unfair. Fuck, you write some really damned decent females yourself (all things considered). But honestly? No. No, we were not watching the same film.

“JUST THERE?” Uh, did you not see any of her development at all, or were you just waiting for the men to come in and steal the show? This is the same character who is the only one to get decent information when everyone else is too busy arguing over stupid personal bullshit. This is the same character who has a conversation with Loki and doesn’t lose her cool. This is the same character jumping onto alien warcraft and beating these assholes at their own game. This is the same character saving the motherfucking day by racing off to beat Loki while all the boys are too busy playing house with the alien army.

Don’t tell me she was just there. That she was just eye candy. She was one of the most important motherfucking characters in the entire film, and it saddens me when reviews degrade Johansson’s performance simply because she isn’t one of the guys. And why do all of these reviews seem to come from long time comics fans, 90% of the time all male? You do realize that the Marvel Cinematic Universe is a canon into itself and doesn’t actually follow the comics the way you’re claiming it should? That characters were changed and updated to fit with current audiences and currently relevant plots? Laying this all on Black Widow’s origins not adding up right is just plain silly at this point in the MCU game. (A game you don’t seem to be playing well, G.R.R.M.)

Flawless bitch carried that goddamn film. Period.

Anyone who thinks Black Widow was just eye candy in this goddamn film is showing their own issues with women. There is no other way to explain how you come away from this film thinking she was just there. But hey, keep trying to lessen her contributions, because lol, that’s awesome. Or something.

Also, she isn’t and doesn’t have to be the comic version of Black Widow - whom, I see, is entirely defined in your head as being all about the cock. LOL, nah. (via zarabithia)

Ok

OK

DID WE NOT WATCH THE SAME MOVIE?

BLACK WIDOW

1. MANIPULATED LOKI INTO GIVING UP THE INFORMATION SHE NEEDED

2. DIDN’T LOOSE HER SHIT AND LET HER EGO GET IN THE WAY OF HER INTERACTIONS

3. ABSOLVED CLINT OF HIS SINS BY NOT  LETTING HIM WALLOW IN GUILT

4. FIGURED OUT HOW TO MANOEUVRE  A GOD DAMN ALIEN SPACE SHIP

5. FIGURED OUT HOW TO CLOSE THE PORTAL WITHOUT BLOWING SHIT UP

6. HAD THE FUCKING BALLS TO BE A HUMAN AND FIGHT ALONGSIDE AND AGAINST GOD DAMN DEMI-GODS

So, she was the only one who actually had a lot of depth to her character as she has to rely on her wits, her intelligence and her fighting skills to survive.

And, to quote cheathis, if we are talking about characters who stand around looking pretty, i think we are confusing Black Widow with Captain America
