telescopics: unicorn-dealing-octopus: THIS is why I want to learn how to pole dance. Pole dancing isn’t always sexual. It’s an incredible work-out and it takes a lot of time and practice. It’s one of the most scrutinized and frowned-upon forms of dancing, but  it really shouldn’t be. The ladies and gentlemen who take time to learn how to pole dance are incredible- and so are their bodies! Pole dancing increases cardiovascular state, muscle strength, muscle endurance, motor skills AND flexibility. An average session of 45 minutes can burn 250 calories. You reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease, you increase your bone density, and decrease your cholesterol. How can pole dancing be seen as so horrible when it’s really, really good for you?! just gonna be devils advocate here and point out that even when pole dancing is sexual, that does not make it an inherently negative thing. there’s nothing wrong with pole dancing because it’s sexy. I just get super duper sick of this whole “I want to learn pole dancing as an ART!!!” thing, because: a) it’s got this really nasty slut-shamey quality to it. “oh, I pole dance, but I’m not one of THOSE pole dancers” sounds exactly like “oh, I sleep around, but I’m not like THOSE sluts!” doncha think? and b) the implication that sex and art can never coexist - that something has to be JUST sexual or JUST artistic - is just silly and wrong. sex and art have a heavy interwoven history, and I hate seeing people trying to sanitize art. it’s the same as this whole “oh, it’s ARTISTIC nudity, not pornographic!!!” thing. porn is art, sex is art, pole dancing is art and it’s also sexy as hell. i do amateur night because i want to see what i can do with my body on the pole.  i can do quite a bit, but definitely not what is pictured above.  my arms aren’t that bendy and probably aren’t that strong (YET) and i do amateur night because i like taking my clothes off and shakin it.  nothin wrong with that.

“According to director Joss Whedon, the original cut of the movie was over 3 hours long. There will be about 30 minutes of the excised footage included in the DVD Release, most of which revolves around Steve Rogers (Captain America). Whedon revealed that one of these scenes involved Rogers struggling to adjust to the modern world in his Brooklyn apartment and another revealed Steve Rogers’ reunion with Peggy Carter, his love interest from Captain America: The First Avenger.”

But why has no one made a gifset of Captain Jack Harkness fighting alongside Captain America in World War II?

And then Captain Jack in the Avengers and Captain America wondering if he got frozen too and Jack just laughs and says it’s a bit more complicated than that and Steve is just like, what’s more complicated than that. 

And then Jack hits on Steve for the first time in 70 years and Steve is actually happy to hear it because this is his old buddy.

yes exactly ;_;
