i need everyone to know that robin hood is canonically bisexual in the world of this book

“in combat, she was an avenging demon; a wronged queen of the celts. all the muscle clem had felt under her hands was being put to use, her movements strong an precise.”

“no one had ever pinned clem to a tree before. new experiences were good for the soul.” OH MY GOD GIRL 😭

the cursing here is uh… fine?? i guess?? it’s done tastefully, but it would be SO much funnier if the author had written in historical insults from medieval/elizabethan england

“but what is a superhero’s death if not an opportunity for a resurrection persevering?” haha i understood that reference

“for once, tom holland said all the right things out loud” 😭

“whedon announced publicly that he would be adding a *second* woman to the movie. when it came to gender in hollywood, the benchmark for progress was set extremely low.” 😭☹️

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
