Cassie: Marco, how could you do this to Jake? You two are so close that I occasionally have nightmares of you running away together.

Marco: Where do we go?

Jake: One time we went to Aspen.

Marco: Oh, I hope it was summer. I’m not that big a skier.

look, i’m not saying that i often confuse Jack Kerouac’s On the Road and Cormac McCarthy’s The Road; all i’m saying is that everyone would be saved a lot of trouble if there were just one book called (On) the Road by Cormack McKerouac

[batmansymbol]

#you wanna talk confusing books #i thought invisible man by ralph ellison #which is an incredible book about racism btw #was THE invisible man by h.g. wells #which is about a literally invisible man (x)

well, okay, but are you sure you weren’t reading (The) Invisible Man by H. Gralph Wellison, bc

[cockroach-queer]

okay but how about the time some guy in my Mythology class read The Metamorphosis by Kafka, a short story about a guy who turns into a bug, instead of The Metamorphoses by Ovid, an ancient narrative poem combining Greek and Roman myths.

Jake: Okay. Give me your hair dryer.

Cassie: What are you talking about?

Jake: Don’t you carry one in your purse?

Cassie: Have you ever met a human girl?

—Later—

Jake: Hey. Do you carry a hair dryer in your purse?

Rachel: Of course. I’m not an animal.

The Intersections of Steve Rogers As Hero.

One of the things that’s been kind of keeping me up at night of late (I’m not kidding, it’s 2:47am here) is the piece of this Cap!Hydra thing that we’re not talking about, or talking about much:

Steve Rogers was a certified mess. He was 4F. He couldn’t get into the Army no matter how often he tried. He was ill, he was weak, he was *disabled.*

And with absolutely all respect for my Jewish friends and their understandable anger and pain, this is part of my pain, an intersection and an overlap. It hurts me and I hope we can talk about this, too.

Because they killed the Rromany, they killed my fellow queers, and they killed so many millions of the people who I’m seeking with all my heart, but they started with people like me.

Because Franz Stangl started his career at the T-4 euthanasia program.

Because the film of T-4’s victims includes a little boy who covered his ears and flapped his hands.

Because the Commandant of Treblinka quite literally learned the means he perfected to kill Jews and Rromany en masse by starting with the autistic, the disabled, the ill, the people they deemed “mentally or physically unfit.”

Because Nazis wouldn’t have recruited Steve Rogers. They would have killed him.

He was weak. He was sick. He was unfit.

He was like me.

And when we talk about one piece, as we must, as we should, as is right, as is *just,* please don’t forget that part, too.

They started with people like me. Like pre-serum Cap. And it makes me sick to see that part of the story forgotten and wiped away, as if Steve was just a ‘bit short’ or a ‘little scrawny.’

“The 4-F classification was given primarily for muscular and bone malformations, hearing or circulatory ailments, mental deficiency or disease, hernias, and syphilis.”

He was weak. He was sick.

He was like me.

And he’s our hero, too. We’re hurting, too.

Please be beside me as I am beside you.

Honestly, no country really has moral superiority. If you think that your government or ancestors never committed or condoned horrible acts, you don't know your history well enough.

Vulture made a list of who all fictional New Yorkers would have supported in the NY primaries and the B99 ones are the most inaccurate thing I have ever seen. Has this person even watched the show?

[softlenaluthor]

[phil-the-stone-deactivated20180]

Lmao at least they got the first one (1) right?

[phil-the-stone-deactivated20180]

I KEEP LOOKING AT THIS ITS LIKE A CAR CRASH OR A NATURAL DISASTER HOW DID SOMEBODY TYPE THESE FLAGRANTLY INACCURATE WORDS INTO A COMPUTER AND PUBLISH THEM SERIOUSLY OH MY GOD

I think steph’s reaction describes it best:

Jake: Bernie (he got Amy’s approval first)

Rosa: Bernie

Amy: was planning on supporting Hillary until she found out Hillary was profiting off prison slave labor, now Bernie

Terry: Bernie

Charles: gets the flu on Election Day and, whilst high on cough syrup, accidentally does a write-in vote for Jakamy Pantialta

Gina: Herself, obviously.

Holt: Bernie

Bonus – Hitchcock & Scully: have not voted in 24 years; Scully thinks he voted last month but he was actually filling out a medical insurance questionnaire; Hitchcock thinks he voted in the last election but in reality he signed on with a donations canvasser and he’s been giving Greenpeace $20 a month for the past three and a half years

I love Clint Barton because he’s the kind of guy who would ask if he could get an Avengers discount at Starbucks

[liketheshewolf]

#piece of shit motherfucker probably would #and he’d find a way to get it too #*flashes avengers ID* #probably uses it to get out speeding tickets too #”no no see it’s alright i am an AVENGER” #”that means i save the world and stuff…” #”so you’re welcome” #”no need to give me a ticket see look at my AVENGERS ID-card” #ends up getting a ticket anyway #story of your life #drops by mcdonalds #slides avengers ID over the counter as a form of payment #official avenger coming through #doing hero-business #please step aside ma’am i am an avenger #that means i work with captain america #yes #good ol’ cap #the big c #why yes he does smell like freedom and apple pie

[notesrefs]

#then one day a barista or shop assistant asks cap if he’s got his avenger id for the discount#and steve gives him a blank stare#and just before he says there’s no such thing as avengers discount#nat comes up behind him#slams her id down#‘yes we both need avengers discount’#reminding herself to high five clint later#because ‘avengers discount’ has clint written all over it (via annperkin)

Let them all come, Clint. Let every last one of those tracksuit-wearing, sub-verbal, bullying, murderous scumbags come at us. Because you and me? Together? Together, Clint, I think you and me are the persona we both wish we could be, and I know that person. I know that person is worth something. I know that persona can… can pretty much do anything.

a movie that should really exist → Hawkeyes, starring Nyle DiMarco as Clint Barton and Arden Cho as Kate Bishop.

[Caption: eight gifs with Nyle as Clint and Arden as Kate. In order: Clint/Nyle runnings. Clint pressing a button on his bow. Lucky (the dog) swimming. Kate/Arden in the middle of a fight. Clint and Kate together –Kate talking, Clint looking at her. An arrow hitting a target, with the title “hawkeyes” on it. Coffee dripping into the coffeemaker’s jar. Kate grabbing an arrow from her quiver. Clint falling off a building, shooting up an arrow. Clint speaking in ASL.]

[the-kellephant]

Oh my god, an actual deaf person fancast as Clint, I love it! And at this point, Arden is Kate to me. <3

Do you guys ever get that feeling where nothing is exciting anymore?

Like, the holidays just seem like another day.

My 16th birthday that I had been looking forward to forever was just a school day.

New episodes of my favorite show don’t get me pumped anymore.

Everything is kind of dull and I can’t really like anything anymore.

[eyeslikeonyx]

this, ladies and gentlemen, is a top-notch sign of depression. this is not supposed to be a normal thing to feel.

[cryingtotwy]

Other sings of depressions can be:

No hunger. Like, you eat because of the pleasure of it or because you have to, but you aren’t hungry anymore.

Procastrination, even of things you like.

Feeling no sympathy for anything. You begin to question if you love something or someone at all.

Feeling like you are in a dream (depersonalization)

Having trouble sleeping. It can be nightmares, it can be difficulties falling asleep, difficulties waking up, waking up in the middle of the night, etc.

Being really tired without reason.

Intrusive thoughts (that may say that your family doesn’t love you, or that what you are feeling is completely normal, for example. It’s never true)

Not caring about your own security anymore, not because you want to die (most of the depressed people don’t want to commit suicide) but because you just forget it. You forget to look both ways before crossing, wearing your seatbelt or even you can forget about eating.

Desire of isolation. You just want to be alone, and anyone feels like a friend anymore.

Trouble focusing on things.

This is a great way to respond to someone you love who’s all “I’M SORRY FOR GETTING MY FEELINGS ALL OVER YOU”
