Tony smirked. "You think you're worth all this, Banner?"

Bruce turned his head, relieving some tension in his neck, below his jaw. His thin smile took on an edge.

"Well, I certainly think so. And you said as much over dumplings. Just think of it as shooting my shot, Tony. You can respect that, right?"

Tony laughed—harsh and sharp—shaking his head. He mouthed wow again, grinning. "Bruce! I can't tell if you've found a spine or if you're just insane. You've got a lot of nerve asking for this much. What's next? Green M&M's at your desk every morning?"

Bruce realized Tony was … enjoying this. Of course it wasn't going to be the slam dunk he had made it out to be on Friday afternoon.

If Tony wanted bravado, Bruce was happy to oblige and meet the asshole where he was.

“You can afford it,” Bruce said, cool, shrugging. “Do you need a pen?”

Tony’s grin grew wider, sharper—like a raptor’s. “Now we’re cookin’ with gas.”

Couldn't resist writing a little something for this screengrab~

The Avengers formed a semicircle around Tony's desk. The billionaire-genius was laser-focused on the topic at hand:

"Superposition!" He formed his fingers into a claw, spinning a hologram of an atom. "What we need to understand is: the particle exists in multiple states until you can see it."

"Until it's observed," Bruce clarified.

"Oh!" Steve snapped his fingers, eyes sparkling. "Like… is that like Schrödinger's cat? Did I say that right?"

Natasha chuckled. Tony gave a single clap.

"Cap, you get a gold star. Five points."

"Hold on—" Rhodey pressed his fingers into his palm, pausing the conversation. "Are you saying the cat is both dead and alive?"

Bruce confirmed, "Right, until you open the box." He looked up from his notes; he wasn't paying full attention to this miniature lecture before him, but Tony made it difficult to not participate. "With regard to the particle—you know, an atom and a wave—the waveform would collapse into a single state."

"In Asgard," Thor reasoned, "we simply open the box and find the condition of the feline."

Tony blinked. "That's… that's the point, Thor."

"I do not understand." Thor frowned. "What is the difficulty?"

"The issue," Bruce began, but Tony interrupted—

"Hey-hey-hey. You can have your gamma radiation TED talk after I explain quantum physics." Tony cleared his throat pompously. "Thor, observation changes the outcome. You cannot know what the state is without affecting it."

Natasha scoffed. "So? Don't look!"

"Okay, you make that sound so easy," Tony said, raising an eyebrow. "Someone has to look. Eventually. That's called science, sweetheart."

Natasha shot him a small glare for the nickname; Bruce intervened.

"Do they, though?" he asked, tilting his head.

A short silence passed through the superheroes. Steve made a confused sound.

"Uh… are we still talking about cats?"

"Jesus Christ. Back to cats," Rhodey mumbled.

"I think cats are absolutely essential to our universe," Thor offered, beaming.

Tony was losing them. "Okay, right, let's move into quantum tunneling—"

"I'm out," Natasha said, springing from her chair, her ponytail swinging off her shoulder. "You and Bruce can play footsie with physics."

"WHAT—Nat, wait a sec, what do you—what do you mean?!" Bruce's face flushed as the team dispersed, nearly all of them smirking. Tony stayed in his seat at the desk.

"Well. Look who's the teacher's pet."

"Shut up," Bruce said, huffing a sigh. He looked at Tony. "…you were saying?"

Tony grinned.

how did i leave this in drafts

me: [thoughtful discussion over dinner with husband about the Democratic debates later this evening]

also me, eating from a bowl of pasta and biting into her second slice of garlic bread (thinking): I wonder if Aziraphale invented carbs, or if Crowley invented carbs

Prompt: Crowely tells Az he loves him by accident while going on a big long rant about (dealers choice) Az catches right away and just smiles and waits as Crowely comes to the realization of what he said

Anon. Anon. I love you for this. 

***

“See, thing is-”

Crowley’s words elude him- as they have a habit of doing, the sneaky buggers. He watches the white lines in the middle of the road streak by, feels the tarmac roaring beneath the car. It’s a rainy evening and they’re driving home from a restaurant north of Watford that Aziraphale has been banging on about for months. Since the world had ended- and then promptly not ended- the angel’s zest for food hasn’t lessened in the slightest. In fact, it’s only gotten bloody zestier, as if their near-apocalypse experience has made Aziraphale realise that life is too short. Even an immortal life such as his. 

Crowley loses his track of his thought entirely. “Thing is…”

“You were talking about-”

“KINDLES!” Crowley exclaims, taking his hands off the wheel to celebrate this eureka moment. Aziraphale straightens out beside him nervously and grabs a fistful of his corduroy trousers. Crowley slaps the leather of the steering wheel enthusiastically as he continues, “Kindles. Are not. Demonic! We didn’t come up with them- that was all you, I’m certain!”

“Why on earth would I invent the Kindle, dear boy? Do you even know me at all?”

“You-plural, not you-singular. Angels you, Heaven you.”

“Well, I certainly didn’t sanction it.”

“Alright but- listen- what’s the problem with kindles? Why’re- what’s the problem? I mean really, it’s a book, isn’t it. Just a book on a screen. What’s the problem?”

“The problem-” Aziraphale begins confidently, bordering aggressively. Then the wind appears to be knocked out of his sails. “Well,” he tries again, a little weakly. “The problem, the problem lies therein. In that. Well-”

“See! See, it’s clearly a good thing, I don’t understand what all the fuss is about- all these people going ‘oh, ho-ho, oh dear, books aren’t physical anymore, what a travesty! Let’s all- grab our pitchforks! And lament the loss of our children’s education’.” He adds a mocking, whinging voice to this last bit. 

Aziraphale tuts, stretches his legs out in front and crosses them.

I wholeheartedly appreciate Crowley’s opinion on the Kindle!!!!

With SDCC around the corner I’m finally feeling overwhelmed with good omens things :( brain needs a break, maybe just from tumblr. Constant stream of things not helping. Also, I wish I knew the science of things getting popular. A random gif set I made is getting a crazy number of reblogs and I am tired. Hello, bed.

[avengersandangels]

Like what??

aziraphale’s lapels

"[Aziriphale] ... wears big lapels on his jacket, representing wings”

I found it intriguing that for most of the series, Aziraphale’s lapels kind of droop -- they’re not stiff peaks like the other angels, symbolizing how he’s far from heaven, or that he fell. (compare this to Crowley’s jacket, which has stiff lapels that point upward--he’s not so bad after all):

What I found REALLY intriguing was the scene from 1941. Aziraphale’s coat has VERY high lapels, like Crowley’s:

And this is the episode a lot of folks have been discussing lately, given the new still from the set featuring wings on fire--reading this as Aziraphale’s Fall:

(credit @aziraphalecrowleys) now I notice even CROWLEY has wings here

because after that scene in 1941:

his coat lapels point downwards.

BEFORE 1941, though, they weren’t super stiff/vertical either, but the lapels are not as dramatic imo:

However, this is from 1862, right? If we assume they didn’t see each other in that span of time between these events, it’d be almost 80 years where Crowley was absent from Aziraphale’s life. Almost like a reset.

tl;dr CLOTHING MEANS EVERYTHING

[neil-gaiman]

how many scenes had to be redone because David Tennant’s contacts would twist?

None. We fixed it in CGI.

[valloir]

Then why didnt his pupils dilate even once?

*sobs*

[neil-gaiman]

Because when they did, he was wearing shades, and you didn’t notice.

(Also, snakes aren’t cats. Their eyes aren’t dilating to tell you what they are thinking and feeling. While snake eyes dilate, in my experience, they mostly do it if it’s getting dark, or if they are going to attack.)

[avengersandangels]

Attack with LOVE.
