Wandering around New York City PISSED because there are all of these empty luxury apartments in a city with such a high homeless population. He just starts tearing down doors and ushering people inside (and then repairing the doors because whoops he did not think that through)
Every time a reporter tries to ask Natasha who does her hair he interrupts her snarky response with I DO
Getting dragged into tv interviews and getting weird questions he’s not really qualified to answer until finally someone asks him what he thinks the founding fathers would have to say about net neutrality and he just says “I don’t give a fuck what they’ve have to say” before this impassioned speech about freedom and information equality that everyone is too afraid to interrupt
Literally dropping everything to show up in Ferguson. Like, thanks police department for all your hard work but you can go home now because the people have spoken and they’d like you all to retire early Captain America’s got this covered
He does not tell the Avengers
He does not tell Fury
He leaves a note for Bucky but like it’s really vague “ttyl gotta go school some haters” and Bucky has no idea what that’s supposed to mean because Steve basically COLLECTS HATERS LIKE THEY’RE POKEMON
Speaking of haters remember that time in Iron Man 3 where Tony gave out his home address and basically told a terrorist to come find him? That’s not good enough for Steve. Nope. He adopts one of those army dogs with the titanium teeth and just starts jumping out of planes and knocking on doors like “hello have you accepted Steven Grant Rogers as your ass-kicking savior?” like this is a weekly occurrence. Arms dealers, the leaders of drug cartels, human traffickers, he just keeps finding things to get pissed about.
Because he doesn’t like bullies.
Like everyone in the tower sits him down and they have an intervention for him and he promises to find his chill
Starts doing Sesame Street appearances and everything seems normal
And then he disappears on a rampage and resurfaces on the news standing at the protest lines of an abortion clinic escorting women inside and covering their faces with his shield
He probably comes across Coulson at one point and he’s not even surprised he’s just like accepted the fact that nobody stays dead anymore like he’s honestly expecting to punch real hitler in the real face one of these days
Welcome to Andover… where superpowers are common, but internships are complicated. Just ask high school nobody, Jessica Tran. Despite her heroic lineage, Jess is resigned to a life without superpowers and is merely looking to beef-up her college applications when she stumbles upon the perfect (paid!) internship—only it turns out to be for the town’s most heinous supervillain. On the upside, she gets to work with her longtime secret crush, Abby, who Jess thinks may have a secret of her own. Then there’s the budding attraction to her fellow intern, the mysterious “M,” who never seems to be in the same place as Abby. But what starts as a fun way to spite her superhero parents takes a sudden and dangerous turn when she uncovers a plot larger than heroes and villains altogether.
From the author of Seven Tears at High Tide, C.B. Lee,the super hero saga takes flight in September, from Duet Books.
Oh gosh I’ve been going through the tags and reblogs and can I just say I’m just so excited that you all are excited?!? I can’t wait to share this all with you.
This is the book announcement! Pre-order information will be coming soon– stay tuned and look out for a post from either me or @duetbooks or @interludepress!
Jess’ t-shirt says Master Mischief was right about the cheese. Who is Master Mischief? What’s the cheese about? I’ll be dropping a few more teasers as we get closer to the release date.
Yes, yes she is.

controversial: dumbledore would’ve made the right decision taking the 1991-1992 house cup away from slytherin even if harry and co. hadn’t saved the school and stopped voldemort from returning to power
Can I ask why? Genuinely curious here
Slytherin students didn’t have better academic performance and they certainly didn’t have better behavior than the other houses. What they did have was a head of house who would award his own students points for almost no reason while handing out penalties to other houses like candy. If Draco Malfoy answered a question correctly in potions, he’d be awarded ten points, while Hermione giving the same answer would lose ten points for being a know-it-all.
That’s the thing, the game was rigged in Slytherin’s favor. Snape set his own house up to win, through absolutely no merit of their own, seven years in a row with no penalty. Meanwhile Dumbledore is made out to be the one who “just hands victory to his own house” after four members of his house put their lives on the line to save the school from a genocidal mass-murderer.
Gryffindor deserved the house cup because their students saved the school, but even if they didn’t, Slytherin should have had it taken away from them because they didn’t earn it.
I can’t even condemn Dumbledore for letting Slytherin believe they’d won, sit in a green-and-silver dining hall, and then changing it when he announced they’d actually lost, because after seven years of cheating, it’s not enough for them to just lose. If they’d just lost, they’d think they were cheated out of something that’s rightfully theirs. Allowing them to believe they’d just once again been handed an award they didn’t deserve, and then giving it directly to the house that actually did something to deserve it, teaches a valuable lesson.
Anyway, if we’re going to criticize Dumbledore’s abilities as a school administrator for anything, it’s how unchecked he left Snape’s treatment of his students. Even putting aside the emotional and physical abuse he inflicted on his students, there should have been some provision in place to prevent his abuse of the points system before he had a chance to hand it to his own students for ONE year, let alone seven.
There should have been a provision that the current holder of the house cup is ineligible for participation in the next year’s competition. There should be an upper limit on how many points you can take away from another house’s students, and how many points you can give to your own students. Students should be able to appeal unfair penalties to the headmaster.
Point is, Slytherin shouldn’t get an award just because their head-of-house refuses to play fair
I never thought of it like this before. Thank you so much, OP
ALL RIGHT SO HERE IS THE DEAL. I am trying to get scholarships to go to grad school. Because school is much money. I have found a scholarship that runs monthly for $5000, and all I need to do is get the most votes on a post.
Here is the post. Please, please, PLEASE vote for it, share it, etc. I really really need this. I am also willing to bribe you!
For every 250 votes I get, I will post a new part of Making Other Plans. For every 1000, I will post either a chapter of something, or another new fic.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE reblog this post, repost this post, idec. We’ve got til April 30 to get as many votes as possible. I LOVE YOU GUYS AND I COULDN’T DO THIS WITHOUT YOU.
EDIT: i’m really sorry, but you have to create an account :/ I REALLY REALLY APPRECIATE YOU DOING IT THOUGH. I’ll try to bribe you with something EVEN BETTER.
So my physics teacher is a dick (do NOT laugh at kids who are confused in your class, just don’t, it’s not helpful, and furthermore the percentage of kids with ADHD is like somewhere between 15 and 20%, I GUARANTEE that I am not the first one he’s ever had, no matter what he says to the contrary), I have to finish a short story to be ripped apart in my fiction class (look, guys, motive matters in writing and I don’t want to hear your arguments to the contrary, please see my rant from last night), and I’m dealing with the realities of being a woman in STEM (yes I know what I’m doing, you literally just saw me ask the teacher if I was doing it right, I have a voltage generator and poor impulse control, do not fuck with me). It’s been…the longest shittiest week in a series of kinda shitty weeks and I just. I need to hear some not-shitty stories about humanity, so if you’ve got them, send me an ask.
