Another social media platform. Another place for me to post my picture with Chris Evans.

The United States of Captain America will always be one of my favorite comic runs—and I'm not just saying that because it gave me a Filipina American Cap in Arielle Agbayani. 🇵🇭

For @bamsmackpow.bsky.social, I wrote about the importance of the 2021 miniseries: bamsmackpow.com/why-marvel-u...

Why this Captain America comic series is more important than ever

The United States of Captain America miniseries from Marvel Comics is a worthwhile read that showcases the Captain America legacy through diversity and unity.

There are people who met Enver Gjokaj tonight, and I wasn't one of them.

Why are Peacemaker, Invasion, and Law and Order: SVU all at the same time on Thursdays? How am I supposed to decide whether to watch John Cena, Enver Gjokaj, or Corey Cott first?

Happy 12-year anniversary to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.! 🎉 Whether you've seen it countless times or have yet to check it out, #AgentsofSHIELD is worth the adventure.

A recent piece I wrote for @fangirlish.bsky.social: fangirlish.com/2025/08/13/7...

7 Reasons to Add Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. to Your Watch List

Canon status aside, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is still a worthwhile watch that deserves respect and recognition.

Being a writer who's just a silly little fangirl is fun, because all the Steve Rogers "When Did You Get Hot?" edits I've watched on TikTok haven't just been leisurely viewing—it was all research! 🤭🫡

My latest for @fangirlish.bsky.social: fangirlish.me/3VKckqk

The Internet Has Deemed This New Sabrina Carpenter Track as *the* Steve Rogers Song

We can't help but think of Steve Rogers whenever we listen to "When Did You Get Hot?" from Sabrina Carpenter's new album, "Man Best Friend."

I appreciate the support! I had an overpriced ice cream sandwich the next day. 😅

Two years since one of the best experiences of my life—getting to meet and interview Gabriel Luna! 🥲

Obligatory promo of my Gabriel Luna piece for @pocculture.bsky.social from two years ago, which remains one of my favorite articles I've ever written!

Happy 14-year anniversary to Captain America: The First Avenger, and happy five-year anniversary to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. episode 7×09: "As I Have Always Been"!

Today is a holiday for me! 🎉

The chaotic Krypto was fun to watch in #Superman, but it's how Clark responded to him that stands out to me.

For @bamsmackpow.bsky.social, I wrote about how Superman and Krypto's relationship characterizes Clark's heroism and humanity.

How Superman and Krypto’s relationship defines Clark Kent’s heroism

Cute and chaotic, Krypto is more than just a fan-favorite sidekick. His role helps characterize the kind of hero — and human — that Superman has become.

Thank you! That's awesome!

Ashley Rosario Wijangco @wijangco12.bsky.social · Jul 16

Daisy and Sousa are not only one of my favorite parts of #AgentsofSHIELD but also my all-time favorite ship and OTP. Interestingly enough, that made this both easy and difficult to write. But I'm so happy I got to write about Dousy in celebration of their upcoming five-year anniversary. 💙💜

fangirlish @fangirlish.bsky.social · Jul 15

From crackship to canon to endgame, Daisy and Sousa remain one of the most rewarding parts of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 7 even five years after the show ended.

We revisit their story HERE: https://fangirlish.me/46c3w35

Daisy & Sousa Remain One of the Most Rewarding Parts of 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'

From crack ship to endgame, Daisy Johnson and Daniel Sousa's love story was a wonderful narrative for the final season of "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."

I saw an early screening of #Superman last night, and I really loved it! I don't think it's perfect, but it's a great movie that's full of hope. There are plenty of things that fellow geeks will enjoy.

Always honored to be on Podcast-616!

I somehow managed to not mention the Bulls, but I did to give extra love to Chicago, point out Rogers: The Musical, and made In the Heights relevant to the conversation. 😅

I was watching The Avengers on TV earlier during dinner, and when Enver Gjokaj came on the screen, my brother was like, "Look, there's your boyfriend," and I wasn't about to argue. 🤷🏻‍♀️😅

When the Thunder get their championship rings, I hope Nick Collison gets his own ring ceremony! 😅

In true Ashley fashion, I wrote about #AgentsofSHIELD for my first article at @bamsmackpow.bsky.social!

In honor of season 7's fifth anniversary, I wanted to revisit it and discuss why it was the ending the show deserved.

bamsmackpow.com/agents-of-sh...

‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ season 7 is the ending the show deserved

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 7 deserves love as an ending that honors the show and gives its characters satisfying growth and well-earned happiness.
