in a dnd game i had to role-play my bard asking the princess to marry him so i word-for-word quoted mr darcyās proposal to elizabeth from the end of the book and now the half of my group that has never read pride and prejudice thinks im a hopeless romantic
You memorised the entirety of Mr Darcyās proposal.
this whole thing is way too good to be giffed you need to expirience itĀ
The first Iron Man movie is fascinating to me because it very precisely follows the conventional āwell-meaning but sheltered prince betrayed by evil wizardā arc, except the prince himself is also a wizard. I donāt think Iāve seen that one anywhere else.
(Go ahead, try and tell me the battle at the end isnāt a classic wizardās duel. Sure, thereās punching, but itās practically background noise; the actual ebb and flow of the contest springs from the combatants finding and exploiting technicalities and loopholes in each othersā āmagicā.)
This is really interesting given that medieval imagery and themes have always been a huge part of Iron Man mythos. Starting from the very obvious; Tony Stark is literally a knight in shining armor.
The sheltered prince, kidnapped by bad guys when his evil wizard mentor fears heās growing to powerful, only realizes exactly how powerful he is when he rescues himself. He brings his new found power home, and the evil wizard mentor tries to steal it for his own.
But in the wrong hands, the power is destructive. The evil mentor canāt wield it correctly, and is defeated.
The power Tony comes home with is a Good one. A renewable energy resource, a clean power. Tony earns this power by going through the first half of his heroās journey. (Call to adventure (demonstrating Jericho) -> crossing the threshold (waking up in the cave, in a literal new world) -> a new mentor (Yinsen) -> tests and trials (I mean, good god Tony was regularly tortured for three months not to mention Yinsen having him to reflect on his life) -> Transformatation (TONY STARK BECOMES IRON MAN).)
Tony is able to wield this power because he has faced demons (literal and figurative) and has come through them a better person. Stane canāt, because he hasnāt, not like Tony.
And not to mention that in 616 history (I know weāre talking MCU here but, bare with me) medieval fantasy is something that comes up a lot in Tony stories. Thereās even an arc where Doctor Doom goes back in time to get Morgan LeFay to use her power to Take Over The World and Tony goes back in time to stop him! Thatās amazing!!! Themes of Knighthood and old concepts of chivalry have always been a part of Tonyās story, so itās really fucking cool that IM plays out like this!
And the magic doesnāt even have to be metaphorical!
āAny sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.ā
Wizard Knight Tony Stark is my new aesthetic.
The story is familiar and strikes such a chord because it fits the Heroās Journey so perfectly. Just a modern retelling of the same basic story humans across cultures and centuries have enjoyed.
Wait werenāt they her shitty parents in Matilda?
Yep! It was right after filming it, actually.
Whatās even better is that Maras mother LOVED the book Matilda. She loved it so much that she got her daughter the part, however she died before she got to see it. Or so Mara thought. Apparently just a few weeks before she died Danny Devito went in to the hospital with a rough first edit of the movie and got to let her watch it before she passed.
I might be crying.
I definitely am.
I love them. Best speech theyāve ever done.

Human fingers can detect nano-size objects. This means you not only have the ability to feel a tiny bump the size of a large molecule, but if your finger was the size of Earth, you could determine the difference between a house and a car. Source

cowards. i can already tell the difference between a house and a car

letās stop seeing sex as the biggest thing you can do to show someone you love them
everyone knows that the real way to show someone you love them is to find them a really cool rock. not a diamond. just a neat rock that you think they will enjoy
Not a rock THE Ā ARKENSTONEĀ
Why just one rock Why not three Why not the silmarils
#iām pretty sure thereās an entire book on the topic āwhy not silmarilsāĀ (x)
And one on why not the arkenstone
Youāre right. Just get them a ring.

Sometimes we do.Ā Not usually.
steve: goes with nancy to have dinner with barbās family even though he was not barbās friend and had no emotional ties to her simply because he was supporting his girlfriend
steve: while incredibly insecure about his grades, which he was working hard to try and improve, was also optimistic about a future where he could stick around for his girlfriendās senior year and spend time with her
steve: tried his best to keep nancy level headed while she was drunk and even when he was (understandably) upset about her emotional outburst while drunk, still made sure someone got her home safely
steve: did not berate her or insult her for moving onto jonathan so quickly, and did not rise to any bait thrown his way insulting nancy
steve:Ā āiām a shitty boyfriendā
