It wasn\u2019t some cute, blushing kiss, like some goofy tittering fairy, nor was it a dirty, sloppy affair like some two-bit, trashy femme-fatale seductress. This is genuinely a lady enjoying herself, and feeling more than confident enough to acknowledge that she thinks Sam Wilson is attractive. In turn, Sam was attracted not <b>only<\/b> (or even <i>primarily<\/i>) to Thor\u2019s beauty, but her adventurous spirit, and the strength of her self-assurance.<\/p>\n<p>3) The obvious, because as a Black man, it feels sometimes like Blackness is most often seen through this lens of ugly, dark, mean and scary. It\u2019s nice to see the Black guy viewed as \u2018hot\u2019 or \u2018sexy\u2019 or worthy of flirtation <strike>(even though I\u2019d much rather see Sam Wilson shipped with Misty Knight)<\/strike>.<\/p>\n<p>[All-New, All-Different Avengers #4]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>celadons-penultimate: Y\u2019all, I needed this in my existence.
