Random Headcanon: The reason the Wizarding World in Harry Potter uses such arse-backwards technology isn’t cultural elitism. (Well, not entirely.) Rather, it’s because if you enchant anything more complicated than a screwdriver, it tends to become sentient over time. Devices that use electricity are particularly bad for this, and almost always “wake up” eventually. Arthur Weasley’s car going rogue and running off to live in a forest is actually a fairly favourable outcome; the students still tell horror stories about what happened to the guy who smuggled in (and subsequently enchanted) a digital wristwatch.
this is the best answer to this plot hole i’ve ever heard
I would imagine that Clint is on a first name basis with a lot of New York’s emergency responders.
Hurt and in the back of an ambulance? The driver is like “Clint Barton is that you again?“ “Yeah, it’s me, you know I like helping people every way I can. Like letting you earn your paycheck, Barry.“
Need police assistance? “Hey, Doris, yeah it’s Clint, I need some help. Oh yeah, Lucky is fine. How’s the husband? Oh that cheating bastard.“
Caught dangling from a telephone wire because the jump to the other roof was farther than expected? “Honestly, Karl, I don’t do this on purpose. No, it isn’t an excuse to get to climb down the engine ladder or play in the fire truck.”
Mistaken for a burglar for trying to help some little old lady and sitting in the back of police cruiser? “You aren’t going to tell Doris about this are you Meredith?”
Steve, Bucky, and Thor chilling after a battle, sharing some of Thor’s special brew because they’re the only ones who can handle it.
Thor setting the hammer on a table and grinning at Steve, Care for another try?
Steve shrugging good-naturedly and taking hold of the handle. Sure, why not.
Thor watching nervously while pretending not to be nervous.
Steve budging the hammer.
Thor LOLing.
It would seem that you are still simply unworthy, Captain.
Bucky snorting, tossing back the rest of his drink, and stepping up next to Steve. Are you kidding me? Move aside, Rogers.
Bucky grabbing the handle with his metal arm and pulling and pulling and glaring and looking to Steve.
Give me a hand.
That’s not how it works, Buck.
Just get over here, ya punk.
Steve grabbing hold just above Bucky’s clenched fist.
Thor LOLing in the background.
Bucky and Steve getting ready, Steve beginning with On the count of 3. 1, 2, 3–
And the hammer lifts off the table so easily that the two stumble back, shocked, hands still clasped one above the other.
Silence.
Bucky and Steve hold the hammer in the air and look at Thor in unison.
Thor stares wide-eyed.
Well, he begins after a few more moments, … if there are no pictures, it never happened.
Bucky yelling for Nat or Sam to get their butts in the room to take a photo before Thor can call the hammer back to him and growling Don’t let go Steve for fuck’s sake DON’T LET GO–
ACCEPTED SO HARD.
NEITHER of them thinks that they are worthy, but they both believe that the other is so their faith in one another balances it out
So Steve finally manages to track Bucky down and brings him back to the Tower. Things are understandably tense between everyone and Bucky.
Meanwhile Darcy and Jane have both been brought into the Tower as well.
Most of the Avengers are out saving the world, leaving only Bucky in the Tower when H.Y.D.R.A decide they want their asset back. Bucky is pinned down and Steve is desperate to get back to him,
When he does, Darcy and her trusty taser is standing there with a stunned Bucky and numerous unconscious H.Y.D.R.A agents.
And that is the story of how Darcy Lewis gained a H.Y.D.R.A profile that only states; WARNING. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. FLEE ON SIGHT.
I know I’m not the only one to look at this scene and think to myself, “I wonder who’s job it is to to roto Theron’s spit?”
Moreover, how many takes did that take??
One thing I was thinking about during this is that there’s more spitting in faces or at objects (the chastity belt) than you see in films normally. Made me wonder if in this world spitting at someone is like the ultimate insult because water is so scarce. As if to say that they hate them so much it’s worth losing this bit of water to insult them.
since the accident at the parade Nomi hates going to hospitals, so whenever she has to go, will, sun and wolfgang tag along, bc if anyone even tries to talk to her w/out her consent they will fuck shit up
as soon as kala learns about capheus’ mom, she starts sending him medicine every month, bc they are cheaper for her bc of her job, he insists on paying her back, and she says that it’s not necessary bc she just wants to help him
whenever one of them need to take a plane, they always call capheus, bc no matter how many times he has been on a plane, he always loves it so much
when sun is lonely she will call capheus, sometimes they watch movies, sometimes he will take her to his favorite places on town, and sometimes she’ll just tag along when he’s driving, bc his positive vibe is always good for her
lito teases will about that time they had sex every single time they see each other
kala shows capheus all her favorite bollywood movies (he loves them all)
kala teaches sun how to dance since she is so good at martial arts
riley makes them cheesy playlists when she’s bored (each sensate already has about 15)
wolfgang teaches lito how to punch things bc “its not that hard man u cant just fake punch people forever”
I just read from Huffington Post about the theory that Owen Grady is the kid that Dr. Grant scare from Jurassic Park! I love things like this.
Can someone make a gif for this?!
Imagine that is the reason that Owen knows the Raptors attack patterns and he based their relationship with them on respect?! my feelings are all over the place!!
p. much all of my paleo-friend crew is convinced this is the truth
Fully loaded. You’re more than welcome to come with us.
Okay I have writing promises to keep but I need to scream about this for JUST ONE MOMENT. (okay no first tho, ‘you’re more than welcome’ oh god what Furiosa what, what’s coming out of your mouth, do you realize Furiosa has like 100 lines in this movie, she uses short sentences, she doesn’t waste words. what is she. what is falling out of her mouth.)
And this bike tho.
Check out his bike.
Look at all the fabric on it. That’s not fabric scavenged from War Boys. That’s Vuvalini fabric. All except his new neck scarf, which the costuming behind the scenes notes indicate is a status symbol among War Boys. And he doesn’t appear to have it the night before despite the chillyness.
It’s the same fabric. Did she seriously just promote him secretly? Like, oh hey, here’s this scarf, you’ll probably find it useful. (oh hey, here’s this medal of honor, I think you can make use of the pin. oh hey, here’s this cop car, you should drive it. Oh hey wear this doctor’s lab coat… YOU JUST DON’T DO THAT.) Just imagine Max going back to the Citadel and the War Boys automatically calling him Imperator and his deeply deeply confused face.
But back to the bikes, even more, compare:
Nux and Capable in the back, then a trailer, then two bikes, another half-full trailer with a vuvalini riding it, then a bunched up group in front:
Now Max is the lead bike, Furiosa’s bike doesn’t have any gear on it.
For the most part there’s maybe half the amount of stuff on their bikes as that which’ve been crammed onto Max’s. Even taking into account the the amount that’s been crammed onto the trailers, you have to admit that Max’s bike is more than just “fully loaded”, if we assume a fully-loaded bike is the average bike you see here.
Now I just want you to imagine Max’s awkward face as the Vuvalini all try to press things into his hands and giving him head daps and Furiosa not even looking because she tried yesterday, dammit, and he already told her no and she’s busy checking things over kthxbye.
