And had a very sad realization (shocking? Not a bit)
Mid-fight with Steve, FRIDAY says “You can’t beat him hand-to-hand,” and Tony replies, “Analyze his fight pattern.” And then we actually *see* FRIDAY run the analysis in real-time. I’m talking:
Analysis of Steve’s fighting form and the shield,
an in-depth scan of the suit, and finally
Analysis of the literal impact force of Steve’s hits.
You could read into this in a lot of different ways. But I’ll tell you what it meant to me.
It meant that in every interaction Tony could conceive of with Steve, in every contingency Tony ever thought through, in thousands of possibilities Tony Stark never once thought he’d have to fight Steve Rogers. Not seriously.
He didn’t have a plan for it. He didn’t have a preset protocol for FRIDAY to call up. Not even close.
Because ready-for-everything-always Tony Stark — the creator of the Iron Legion; the maker of Veronica and the Hulkbuster; the guy who installed an instant kill mode in Peter’s suit; the guy who slept with his suit at his beck and call every night for months; the guy who has been thinking about Thanos since before he could put a name to the imminent threat he foresaw; Tony my-middle-name-should-be-paranoid (with good reason) Stark — never once considered that he’d be up against Steve Rogers.
I think that’s heartbreaking. And it says a hell of a lot.
Y/n: *taking a nap*
Aizawa: are you challenging me?
Aizawa: This is a mistake.
Present Mic: A mistake we’re gonna laugh about one day.
Aizawa: But not today.
Present Mic: Oh god no, today’s gonna be a mess.
not a single day has passed since twn2 that i don’t wish
geralt had protected jaskier with quen in that final battle
imagine it—jaskier scrambling for shelter as the table’s knocked askew, voleth meir has been besting and murdering witchers, he’s defenseless and terrified as she gears up for another blow—
and then geralt’s in his space
magic hums in the air. geralt groans with the effort of sustaining the shield. he has to get so close.
jaskier watches him, open-mouthed. overwhelmed with the pure fact of his longing, with his heartache, with how much he misses geralt protecting him, with how good it feels to have that protection again.
to be reminded that even now, geralt still wants to give it.
and then, before geralt returns to the fight, there’s a moment when he darts his concerned gaze down to jaskier. making sure he’s okay. reassuring him that no matter what, geralt will take care of him.
it would’ve taken 15 seconds, and it almost would’ve been enough for me
requests??? if yes omg like imagine a hard of hearing reader who’s chewing her gum a little too loud. no one else is too bothered by it cause the understand she can’t really hear herself. but bakugo is just like So comfortable with the reader and their relationship he just straight up tells her to stfu (in a non hostile way ofc reader knows he’s just being his angsty self lmao) but everyone else is like 😳 bruh bakugo you can’t say that but reader just keeps chewing louder to piss him off
Sure! Thank you so much for the request and I hope this is okay, I’ve never written something like this before heh
JFC: in this, you use sign-language, which Bakugo can understand, but he just decides to speak loudly (you've got moderate hearing loss, meaning you can most likely hear his loud-ass voice). anything in bold is in sign language.
Most people had expected you and Bakugo to get along horribly. The blonde had little to no restraint at all, and due to you being deaf, most people had to have some sort of patience while you tried to figure out what someone was saying instead of constantly asking them to speak up. However, this wasn't the case at all, and you both got along extremely well - at least, as well as one could get with the explosive blonde.
Surprisingly, you'd been born with hearing loss instead of it being caused by your quirk or by somebody else, and it wasn't so awful that you couldn't hear anybody or anything. However, it did result in you not realising how loud you were sometimes, or how noticeable the small things such as pen-clicking and finger tapping were. And one day, while everyone was on edge, you were chewing gum.
And it was loud.
As boisterous as Class 1-A was, none of them had the heart to tell you to quieten down. They knew you wouldn't be offended - you were super close with Katsuki Bakugo, for god's sake - but they just didn't want to come across as impolite. Even Kaminari had his mouth shut, trying his best to focus on something else OTHER than the obnoxiously loud chewing you were doing. But, then again, they weren't too bothered by it. You were hard-of-hearing, and it wasn't as if they were going to die by this one small act.
On the other hand... Bakugo existed. And, sitting right behind you in class, he was finding it increasingly irritating to the point small sparks appeared in the palms of his hands. The small crackles were heard by everyone BUT you, and Yaoyorozu was trying her best to get him to stop without gaining your attention. She was absolutely terrified he'd upset you, especially since she was such a good friend of yours and she loved you to pieces, but Bakugo didn't care. He knew you were tough and hard-skinned, and everything he said seemed to bounce off anyway.
"Oi, Bastard," Bakugo then said loudly, and everything went absolutely silent. The tension in the air could've been sliced through with a knife, and a quiet 'Kacchan' echoed through the room from an embarrassed Midoriya.
Hearing this, you turned around in your seat, eyebrows furrowed at the blonde who was glaring rather intensely at you. A sheepish smile appeared on your face as you realised what was going to happen.
"Did you forget your hearing aids or some shit?" Bakugo asked, and you signed that they'd gone dead before pointing to your ears that were, indeed, empty. He groaned and rolled his eyes, knowing that he'd probably have to relay all the information said in this lesson to you afterwards, as that's what usually happened when you left your hearing aids at the dorms. "Explains a lot. You're pissing me off with that loud as fuck chewing. Either spit it out or quieten down."
You glared at him, one that he knew didn't mean anything. But, your frown then turned into an evil smile, and you signed okay before turning back around and chewing EVEN LOUDER on purpose. Giggling loudly when you heard a small explosion from behind, you went back to writing down your notes. Thankfully, by this little act, the tension had been released in the room and people could talk again without fearing an argument.
"YOU LITTLE SHIT-"
Be more polite about it next time, Rat.
The members of the class who actually understood sign-language (Kirishima, Midoriya, Iida, Yaoyorozu, Ashido, Uraraka, Shoji, Todoroki and Tsuyu) told the others what you were saying, and laughter filled the room at your comments.
"You're so dead when we leave this classroom," Bakugo hissed, loud enough for you to hear. "Understand?"
Chewing even louder, you turned your head and gave him a cheeky grin, knowing there was no way in hell he'd hurt you, especially with the disadvantage you currently had. Bakugo was very protective of you, due to the fact you'd known each other since you were kids and he knew that when you didn't have your hearing aids in, you were much more vulnerable.
Try me.
With that, you spun back around in your seat, finished off writing what you were doing and making sure to chew noisily for the rest of the lesson.
Jaskier, removing his multicoloured heart shaped shades: I beg your fucking pardon??
Venom: let there be carnage is one of those movies that could remind people tumblr still exists. “Who is the target audience for this movie?”, critics ask. Only then Serkis points down to the sewers and you can hear the distant cheers of the tumblr rats
you travel over 20 years with someone and they leave you one day after a fight so you drop a brutal break-up song. after months, your ex is back in your life with their other ex (who is now your bestie) and a kid. now you're at your ex's childhood home. oh, and also you're a spy. jaskier is living out the most chaotic romcom thriller ever and no one else even realizes.
Not even going to comment on this one!
