Dear people who use the term "Stan",

I hate it. I'm not even positive some of you even know where it comes from...

THIS is where it comes from.

"Stan" by Eminem 2000

Stan is a fictional guy who becomes obsessed with Eminem and writes him letters. As with most celebrities, Eminem is unable to personally respond to them.Stan becomes increasingly upset which culminates in driving his car off a bridge which kills himself and his girlfriend who is pregnant with their child.

Stan was originally used to describe a fan so obsessed and crazy that THEY WOULD KILL OVER THEIR FANDOM!

When you call yourself a Stan, you're saying that you would commit real violence over your fandom.

When you call someone else a Stan, you're saying they're capable of domestic violence over their fandom.

The term "Stan" is NOT CUTE.

I hate its usage and prevalence unless you are referring to an actual name like Stan Lee. I was once called a Stan because I was defending Joss Whedon in a sexist argument but exactly how is a person promoting women's rights when they use a term belonging to a character who kills his girlfriend?

LEGOS!

Me: Aww, they made a Lego for Gordon and he's so cute!
My Mom: He looks like Harry Potter all grown up.

And then I'm trying not to focus on that meaning that Sirius was Harry's real father all along...

But, look at this!!!!!

Tony's falling so that's not Tony in the suit.

That's NOT Tony in the suit!

I'm so freaking EXCITED! SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even if it's just a tiny little bit of one scene, it's so worth it! RESCUE!

Also, I'm beginning to like Young Avengers almost as much as Hawkeye. This issue lacked Kate but Loki got to save the day and that ending...totally wrecked me. I can't wait to find the next one somewhere.
