Anyone Else Have This?

you truly underestimate how many times i can listen to the same song on repeat

Just re-watched Civil War

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. 

june 2nd?? what the fuck. what’s next? june 3rd? a 4th of june? give me a fucking break.

Which pan flag is the right one please I don't want to mess it up

THIS is the real pansexual flag we've been using for years:

bright pink, yellow, and blue stripes. this is the actual one.

THIS however, is made by mspec lesbian exclusionists and purity culture obsessed twt users:

dont use this or any other "new" pan flag they try to fucking make. its not our flag. its never been our fucking flag. as a pansexual i fucking hate everyone who uses this or tries to get content creators to support this. fuck exclusionists.

*volume warning*

I wanna talk about something that I have not stopped thinking about for weeks and yet I haven’t seen a single soul mention it.

I know I implied before that the Winter Soldier outfit was designed solely for looks and not function, but that’s not completely true. Parts of it certainly do have some actual function, namely holding as many weapons as humanly possible. 

With that in mind, I want to bring your attention to the iconic chest strap/harness. On the original CATWS outfit, this harness is designed to carry a gun on his back (specifically a Skorpion vz 61).

Now let’s look at the “Winter Soldier” outfit that Zemo gives Bucky in TFATWS. It includes a very similar chest harness, yet what’s on the back? Nothing. It literally serves no practical purpose. There’s not even a place to carry a gun if he wanted. So… why? What’s the point of him wearing it at all?

This time the harness is purely symbolic. It’s there to evoke the image of the original outfit – to let people know “this is the Winter Soldier”. As confirmed by the scenes in Madripoor, it seems to be widely known that the Winter Soldier is not a free agent but an attack dog who will follow his master’s every order. Therefore, this harness was explicitly designed and worn to suggest (through its strong visual association with the Winter Soldier) that he is, once again, OWNED and COMMANDED by someone.

Basically what I’m saying is Zemo dressed him up with the equivalent of a fucking collar.

“You see, we tend to draw parallels between people we lost and people we meet. We are like ghosts unable to let go of our haunt, filled to the brim with memories and heartache.”

Sometimes I hyperfocus so hard on something, I forget I’m a person until someone interacts with me. I feel like some wild animal seeing a human being for the first time. I’m like “oh yeah I’m supposed to speak and stuff”

Boobs.
