“airbenders are able to warm themselves with only their breathing”
ok so this explains why katara and sokka were bundled up in parkas galore while aang was just walking around in his little jump suit like it was a perfect summer evening. I’m so glad this was cleared up. I literally thought Aang’s optimistic attitude is what kept him warm, heavens.
So you remember the firebender prison? And how Zuko kept his bending at full strength when he was put in the freezer box, which disabled anybody else put in there? That’s because Iroh taught him that airbender trick, just like later he taught him waterbending moves to deal with lightning. Iroh was secretly master of all four elements and passed it on to Zuko without him noticing.
I fucking love how tumblr has been using high flicker rate gifs on the login screen. Have you not heard of epilepsy?
not to mention that once in a while i go to a blog, and either the url is changed, they deleted, or i just typed it wrong, and it’s literally always a p high flicker rate gif:/
For anyone with sensitive eyes or epilepsy, if you’ve downloaded AdBlock, you can get rid of these GIFs.
Go to ‘options’, it should open up in another window. You can then go to ‘customise’ tab, and select ‘manually edit your filters’.
If you then paste tumblr.com###fullscreen_post_bg, the GIFs should no longer show up (in the very least, they shouldn’t show up when you go to an unclaimed URL).
Reblogging for any followers who have issues with this.
When they make a black widow movie, the trailer needs to be all mysterious and the song playing needs to be Scarlett Johansson singing a lullaby cover of the itsy bitsy spider
A trailer set to Tili Tili Bom, sung by Scarlett Johansson, and it opens with a little girl with red hair standing in front of a burning house (how Natasha’s parents died) with her hand in an older man’s. The trailer is shots from the Red Room–not quite normal; for example, the little girl comfortably asleep in a bed and handcuffed to the frame, the little girl on a jungle gym and doing impossible moves, the little girl with other girls all dressed alike and emotionless, the little girl walking down a hallway past a man with a metal arm and blank blue eyes–interspersed with shots of the little girl in ballet school (Natasha’s fake memories). As the trailer progresses, the shots of the ballet school become dimmer and the Red Room becomes brighter, until the last scene of the little girl doing ballet (performing a brise, meaning ‘broken’) fades completely to black and it cuts to her standing in a brightly lit training room, looking down at something and holding a bloody knife. The camera pans down to show the hand of another little girl–the last contestant for the Black Widow, save Natalia Romanova standing over her.
but also consider: peggy having written a report about her encounter w/ the red room and dottie, and fury reading it (or her just telling him im not sure if he was director right after her or not tbh)
fury remembering all of that when nat gets brought in
Consider this:
Fury knows that Black Widow is Russian, and he has Margaret Carter’s files memorized.
Fury doesn’t trust people very much.
But he does like them.
And if you like people, the image of little girls being handcuffed to beds and forced to kill other little girls stays with you.
So yes. Officially the mission is to kill Black Widow.
Unofficially? Fury chooses a newbie carnie with a history of not exactly following orders to the letter, who knows what it means to be given a second chance, and who is known to lead with his heart instead of his head.
Out of all of his agents, that’s the one Fury sends after the woman who was once a little girl handcuffed to a bed and forced to kill other little girls.
I often see people posting about the problems Wizarding Society would have, and usually I agree with the OP, but I feel like in many cases, the OP is condemning Rowling for writing the system this way (ex: house elfs, treatment of werewolves and other minorities, flaws in the Sorting system, Azkaban, and so on…)
In most cases, Rowling wrote these incredible flaws into the series intentionally. She is fully aware that the system is flawed, that’s the point of the books! A writer doesn’t have to explicitly state “___ is bad, ___ is good”, and I think that Rowling trusts her readers to be discerning enough to not be coddled and handed her opinions so blatantly.
do you think that natasha has fantasized about have bruce inside her as the hulk? is that why she likes him? because she wants to ride his big green mean machine?
-The snowbanks are melting, revealing what has been sleeping beneath them all winter. They are hungry.
-Western Mass is a myth, they laugh. Their eyes are wide. Western Mass is a myth, they repeat. You cannot go there. No one can.
-Why is that field red? The children ask. It’s a cranberry bog, the adults repeat. Just a cranberry bog. The eyes in the bog do not blink.
-The screaming at night is the fisher cats, we promise.
-The beaches are rocky. They are pointed, and jagged. They have teeth. Do not go swimming alone.
-”They’re not safe to eat unless you boil them alive.” The old fisherman tells you. You think, you hope, he means the lobster. But he never specifies, and you never ask.

THAT MOMENT WHEN YOURE READING FANFICTION AND A CHARACTER SAYS SOMETHING REALLY CUTE OR ANGSTY BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING THEY WOULD ACTUALLY SAY AND YOU JUST KINDA LEAVE THE COMPUTER AND WALK AIMLESSLY AROUND THE HOUSE TO CALM YOUR RAGING FEELS
stop texting, vining, instagraming, tweeting, using ur phone and driving. idc how good of a driver u think u are because ur not. it’s so fucking selfish, ur not the only person on the road and if ur gonna drive it deserves ur full attention. it literally only takes one second, if that, of ur attention being on ur phone for an accident to happen.
reminder that mythbusters proved using your phone is WORSE than driving drunk
lmao there’s a divide in emos now- ppl who like bands like patd, mcr, fob, and 21p and then people who like la dispute, the front bottoms, the wonder years, and the story so far. we’re all equal emos tho. dont try to act like ur better for liking la dispute ur still emo.
It’s actually my uterus saying, “Look, you don’t want a baby this month. I certainly don’t want a damn baby this month. We’re going to make damn sure there’s no baby this month even if I have to nuke the site from orbit.”
Using Tumblr is like renting an apartment and continually asking the landlord to fix the heating, but instead the landlord repaints your living room walls every month.
And you’re like “But I liked the off-white, it went well with my furniture!” but the landlord insists that the hot pink is exactly what the place needs. And the moment you get used to the pink walls and bought things to match them, the landlord comes and paints the room forest green.
So my brother works at a McDonald’s that’s test running serving breakfast later into the day. They used to end at 10:30, and now it goes to eleven… apparently it’s a pretty big pain in the butt.
It used to be that when it came time for the switch from breakfast to lunch, they’d shout out “Ten thirty!” through the store so everyone knew to switch, but now that it’s “Eleven,” my bro says it’s just not as easy to shout, or to hear over machinery and such.
So he started shouting “Elevensies!”
So now it’s a thing and the McDonald’s in my hometown now serves elevensies.
OK BUT BEST PART OF THE STORY
There was a guy who didn’t get it. He’s like, “Whut? Why are you saying that? That’s not a word.”
And someone else shouts from behind the grill “You don’t know elevensies?”
And someone else shouts “Bet he doesn’t know about second breakfast either”
Do you want to know what’s a strange feeling? Having a platonic crush on someone. You go through all the same crap as with a romantic crush, trying to impress them, not wanting to seem over eager, wanting to talk to them all the time. The only difference is, instead of wanting to kiss them until they can’t breathe, you want to rent all of the movies with them and have a sleep over. It’s rather disconcerting.
