Oh & before I go uhhhhh Full Offense but people saying Tony got his ass handed to him in CW are literally Laughably Incorrect I mean. Have you Literally Seen Tony Working In Any Other Movies Ever.
Yall…..really think ….. Tony wanted them dead….when he had 19900 chances to kill both of them and took Exactly 0. He could have just blown the bunker. Could have used those ^ shoulder missiles.
Could have just cut straight fuckin through them like he did to 40+ drones.
Homeboy got an arsenal that can send a God into submission And Yet the debate over whether tony was going in for the kill is still and issue?
Hell. We even have footage of him POINTING HIS MISSILES AT BUCKY AND THEN SHOOTING THE DOOR INSTEAD.
I’m not even gonna explain this y’all know how easy a snapped neck would be here.
And even here – putting his hands over his own face bc he thinks Steve is gonna try and kill him- He DOES NOT FIRE his clearly live repulsors. TONY STARK WAS HOLDING BACK THROUGHOUT THAT ENTIRE FIGHT! He did not ‘get his ass handed to him’. My mans served his own heavily traumatised ass up on a platter and said ‘here dudes lemme even the playing field a lil bit for u’. WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!!!!
As someone who loves my son Steve Rogers, I have to say that he could never kick Diana’s ass, like literally, and also he would never do that, because Steve Rogers would grow up idolising the mysterious hero from WW1, and would probably swoon if he got to meet her, would call her “ Your Majesty” unironically, until Diana has to literally punch him to make him stop, and even then, he’d call her “Ma’am” with the utmost respect, and also he’d follow her to Hell and back without blinking.
They would meet in Vichy France, and after he settled down around her they’d be fine. She’d call him Steven (because it still hurts a little to say Steve). She would teach him the Shield move, and when she called for it in battle he would crouch down with his shield raised, waiting to feel the impact of her boots, then launch her forward – at a line of panzers, across battlements. He would take half a minute to watch in awe as the dust billowed around her landing, watch her upend tanks and pulverize fortifications. Then he’d sprint after, taking out machine gun nests and artillery, and the Wehrmacht would have another tale of the two Allied soldiers with shields who they could never, ever defeat.
I so love the idea that little Stevie Rogers read about and idolized the mysterious superwoman who aided the Allies in the Great War.
I love “Patriotic Leotards” as a friendship OR a romance. Or as a mutual admiration society long before they meet in person.
I’m officially taking it as canon now that the reason Steve knew how to properly launch Natasha at the Chitauri is cuz Diana taught him, and no one can tell me different.
Imagine Peggy introducing them though. After Steve gets his round shield and is messing around trying to figure out how to use it, Peggy says, with a sly smile on her face, that there’s someone he needs to meet who can help him out.
Like, Steve at first is thinking this tall, dark haired woman with the maybe greek??? accent is just one of Peggy’s friends in the SSR. Competent and skilled but a normal human. At least until she takes his shield, hefts it without any sign of strain, and then whips it across the target range and decapitates a practice dummy. She and Steve spend a good three hours working out how to get the shield to come back to him, they bounce it off defunct tanks and walls and Ms. Prince may or may not have accidentally/on purpose split the tank’s gun in half with one shot.
Later the conversation turns to how Ms. Prince is a dear friend of Peggy’s mother, Etta Carter nee Candy.
This just keeps getting better. Reblogging especially for that last headcanon.
@arukou-arukou this was a bit long to try summarizing in an ask
I am reminded that immediately after seeing Wonder Woman, I really wanted to write a fic with her and Steve in some way, shippy or otherwise. I mean, we know Diana is canonically bi, so we can even have a lovely threesome with Peggy, or they can just be friends, or she and Peggy can be together and Steve can sigh after them both. There are just so many possibilities. But I think she’d be good for him. The fact that she chooses love, that she chooses hope, I think that would be really good for Steve. He’s already a jaded little cuss even before he joins the army, and then going in and having to see what war has done to Bucky, to his men, I think the light Diana could show him would be something he’d really latch onto, a way of looking at the world that wasn’t completely hopeless or angry. Imagine what good it would’ve done him coming out of the ice, to have a little of that hope, especially if it were magnified by her finding him again.
“I heard there was a man in the ice.”
“Ma’am, who are you? You can’t just–”
Fury: “Yes, she can.”
Steve: “Diana?”
SO MUCH GOOD STUFF HERE!!! I am 100% behind Etta being related to Peggy somehow – and introducing Diana to her at a young age. And Steve Rogers would absolutely have devoured every scrap of knowledge he could dig up about the ‘wonder woman’ of WWI.
Me- I don’t wanna go to class today. I feel out of it
*classes is cancelled *
Me- God???? Is that you???
Me: I️ don’t want to go to work today
Boss:
(Looks like God’s got both our backs today)
Bless this day ❤️❤️❤️
I swear this post is blessed or something because I said “I want a reason to go somewhere” while looking at this post and then pretty much just after, my mother asked me to go to the store to get some eggs since I used the last 2
What problem is ending net neutrality trying to solve?
What failure of the current internet is ending net neutrality supposed to help us overcome? We’ve gone from no internet WHEN I STARTED GRADUATE SCHOOL to BILLIONS of interconnected devices, sites and pathways to information – a network that has revolutionized whole industries and spread opportunities for learning and commerce around the world.
How is this a problem? How is the current system going to forestall the next generation of developments, thereby justifying the shift to “not net neutrality”?
Of course, I know the answer to my question. From Trump and the Republicans’ point of view, the problem with net neutrality is that net neutrality requires internet providers to forego a revenue stream by preventing them for using their power as internet service providers to compel both internet users and internet content providers to pay to prioritize their activities on the web. In other words, net neutrality prevents what economists call “rent-seeking” behavior in which powerful corporations or entities to use their power to extract more than their market-negotiated share of your money and mine.
Ending net neutrality is, in other words, yet another way to transfer wealth UP the social ladder, allowing the wealthy and powerful to use their wealth and power to increase their wealth and power … at your expense.
And that problem – how to extract ever more of your wealth for their benefit – is, from Trump and the Republicans’ twisted point of view, a problem worth solving.
I didn’t know cheetahs meow I’ve always thought they roar my whole life has been a lie
Ok but the other one is purring so hard
If I ever don’t reblog this assume I’m dead
Fun fact: technically, because of its inability to roar and its ability to purr, the cheetah is not a ‘big cat’ (or Great Cat) – they are still classified as Lesser Cats.
Also you haven’t heard anything until you hear them cheep.
look i know this is a bit niche, but I would die for the human who wrote this pattern description. maybe you won’t feel the same if you haven’t spent hours and hours reading knitting pattern blurbs by the designer or the designers hype person.
