The pure little sister energy Yelena has in this is one of the best things about this movie.
The other is Alexei.

AITA for striking my (M43) son (M20) when he rejected me as his father?
I understand that the title might have you thinking the worst, but please hear me out.
I didn't have a relationship with my son for basically all his life. This was due to my circumstances at the time: I went through a major personal tragedy and was severely injured, to the point of being on life support. To this day I have a lot of issues with my health.
I recently reconnected with my son. I immediately invited him to meet my boss (M92), in hopes that I could set him up with a job opportunity. I feel that this is significant. As far as I know, my son has been working in menial jobs in agriculture, but then apparently chose to leave that life and - to my shock - join a criminal syndicate.
I felt as if getting a good government job would be a way to turn over a new leaf in his life, especially given his past. However, he immediately became combative. I attempted to give him some guidance in managing his emotions, but he rejected that as well.
I'm sad to say that the argument became physical. Some blows were exchanged, but in the end, I was angry enough to strike him. I immediately felt very bad, and decided to offer him the government job on the spot. He rejected me again, and chose to leave very abruptly. I haven't had any contact with him since.
So, AITA?
Edit: Yes, I admit that to call it striking him was an understatement. To clarify, I cut off his hand.
Edit: However, I feel like it should be stated that I myself am a quadruple amputee and we have excellent healthcare.
Edit: I did not immediately identify myself as his father when we met. I think this was my mistake. I think he would have been much more receptive of my message had I done so. As it stands I only told him of our relationship after I had struck him.
Edit: My wife is not in the picture. To my knowledge she passed before his birth.
I think we as a society should bring back brotps. I think we should be weirder about characters being friends the same way people are weird about ships. Make those two characters who interacted once or twice besties. Make it difficult for them to get rid of each other even if they want to. Go nuts
had to mute this bc it started gaining so many notes which frankly is great actually . So much friendship in the tags rn
Love how Daisy joins the team in s1 a master hacker beating SHIELD's tech despite being poor and homeless, but comes across as the normal down to earth one so Ward and Fitzsimmons immediately are like "Oh she's so silly she doesn't know anything she's just a civilian." And she does casually prove them wrong occasionally but for the most part she doesn't push back too hard on their general assumptions, only really showing her vulnerabilities to Coulson. He's the only one she really wants to impress and he's already seen what she can do and appreciates it. If they want to underestimate her and be elitist then she's more than happy to save that for when she needs them to fall on their faces.
And then HYDRA happens and fall on their faces they do. Ward underestimates her CONSTANTLY, allowing her to play him like a fiddle and outsmart him into getting away, with him in complete disbelief because no this is only Skye she can't be doing this?
There are two exceptions to the SHIELD agents view of Skye. One is Coulson, who believes in her potential but is still projecting his own view onto her, seeing her as someone talented he can mold as opposed to what she really is, which is someone who's already got her head on straighter than anyone at shield. He'll appreciate this when the house of cards that is the government organization he dedicated his life to collapses, but for s1 while he does value her and believe in her he doesn't quite understand her the way he thinks he does.
The second exception is May, who sees Daisy exactly as she is, good and bad. She doesn't react well to this at first because who would react well to seeing a younger version of themselves before the trauma of being a SHIELD agent left them permanently altered, and having to watch them make what you believe are the same steps you took that lead you to where you are today. But she does still see Daisy in a way the others don't, even if Daisy herself doesn't understand this. Like when Coulson was gone and May got Daisy kicked off the Bus, and Fitzsimmons and Ward were all like how could you do this to poor helpless Skye we were her everything? And May is like. Are you guys kidding me. Get her away from all these suits and red tape for a single day and she'll get us a lead on Coulson. And she did! Because Daisy is a resourceful genius who is quick on her feet and thinks outside the box. And even when May didn't like her she could still see that in a way the others couldn't. So when she did like Daisy? When she actually started to train Daisy? Yeah the bad guys never stood a chance.
I don't wanna @ anyone because I understand how fast things seem to move in today's landscape of streaming shows dropping entire seasons in one day, and networks pumping out new series constantly to try to attract more subscribers with no intent to actually maintain those shows over time
but I just saw someone self-deprecatingly lament that they are still thinking about a show that ended almost a year ago, making fan art and playlists for it, and I want to be very clear:
you can still create fanworks when it comes to old media!! PLEASE do!! there are always going to be new fans who will appreciate it, and veteran fans who are dying for new content and new perspectives.
also, less than a year is NOTHING. the original Star Trek series was on TV six decades ago and there are still people losing their minds over it, writing stories and reblogging gifsets daily, and that's only one example.
a fandom lasts as long as there are people who love a thing, even if it's only a handful of people. love what you love and write and draw and make gifs and playlists about it!
raise your hand if you still have brainrot about a show that isn't airing
