4. USE YOUR STIRRING TEABAG METHOD OF CHOICE, ADD SUGAR/SWEETENER LIKE A BOSS OR NOT IF YOU ARE A HEALTHY BOSS
5. GRUMBLE LIKE A FISHERMAN BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO LEAVE THE KETTLE AREA TO GO TO THE FRIDGE TO GET MILK AND BACK TO IT AGAIN AFTER YOU ADD IT

may have just posted on the internet, a flailing shrieking adoration letter to the one of the finest authors ever.
DEAR LORD.
WHAT FOLLY IS THIS.
WHERE ART THOU, MY BELOVED SANITY?
:) Dear Gyzym! Happy birthday!! :)
First of all, WHERE DO WE EVEN START? …… <—this is all the stuff that I cut from the letter.)
One day when I’m my compadre’s kids’ aunt I’ll tell that really great kid who has never known her place in the world, that there’s a writer out on the internet who made me believe in the love between a pastry genius arthur and coffee genius eames, the tight friendship of erik and charles, and the more than blood family existing in the avengers’ home. Who would be titled THE REVOLUTION in my personal history book, for all the times she’s made me SEE that strength can be from girls too, that you should fight for what you goddamn well believe in, that it’s okay. to like girls if you do,
and did i mention that my definition of my warm and happy and oh my god that’s what i want family; in my head it now radiates the exact same feelings that i get from the adorable bedtimes stories (which are sure thing read as bedtime stories), as well as the gut-clenching ready, aim, fire stories feelings and also little bit of the fluffy domestic verse feelings, omg i owe you a lot because you can place youR bets on this bet right here that
if you did not exist, that if you did not write and say the things about sherlock holmes shipping and about leveling out and about adams family/sherlock story babies, that i would still be one of many lost souls, i‘d be a scared and not loud and not sure if i was an okay thing and i wouldn’t have all the hopes and dreams that i do and i wouldn’t care about the world because without everything you’ve done i just WOULD NOT stop and think about or consider things; like you do with tony stark and with food and cute animals and with greg and with OH. MY. GOD. JUST WITH EVERYTHING because no one else would stop and show me that it was possible and
I know, that this sounds ridiculous.
And stupid, maybe a little awkward?
but you’re a hero, for me, and for a lot of other people, and i’ve been waiting ages to tell you that, for AGJJJJJEEEEHHHHHSSSS
Happy birthday. You should know that you’re a really cool person. For that big reason that you’re a super hero. Thumbs up to you. Seize the day. Or something like that.
Lots of love,
your fan
You’ve watched Iron Man, Captain America and the Avengers? You ship Steve/Tony, but haven’t read a single comic? This guide is for you!
I spend the last few months getting to know their continuity. However, I’ve spend a lot of the time being confused and going back and forth, because I always missed something.
Under the cut you will find a list of comics and story arcs for Captain America and Iron Man, starting at the New Avengers (2005) until Avengers Prime (2010). This includes Civil War, which is essential to understand many of the better comic-universe fanfiction. I also added some download links, short summaries and recommendations.
BECAUSE IT WAS MADE OUT OF FREEDOM AND THE DREAMS OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
uh excuse me…
WHO SAID IT WAS OK TO POST SOMETHING THIS HORRIBLE!??!??
hahah wow brb straddling a fencepost
My first reaction was ‘Nice thought but there’s no way, Coulson is much younger than…’ and then I stopped mid-thought.
Because you know what.
You know what.
After Steve, the US government had to keep trying to recreate the Super-Soldier Serum.
And who
and who
would be the FIRST DAMN PERSON IN LINE to volunteer?
They told us it never worked again. And that was kind of true. They never again recreated the super-strength or the gleaming pecs. But other things, they got right. They got the vastly delayed aging. And the kind of reflexes that make a man able to take out two armed thugs with a bag of flour. And the talent for leading through example. And they got the most important part, Erskine’s favorite part: the magnification of moral fiber, taking the loyalty and selflessness of a loyal and selfless man and making him into something spectacular.
Coulson didn’t buy those vintage cards on Ebay.
He’s had them since he was a little boy.
That little boy right there.

what if sherlock series 3 is just sherlock in a bunch of disguises and john walking right passed him the whole time
and we dont get a reunion until s4
#definitely not okay
The important thing about this is that Dean has never at all denied the insinuation of a relationship with Castiel. If he is as much of a heterosexual legend as canon claims him to be, maybe he would have tried to defend his sexuality more adamantly. But I don’t think Dean is straight, and I don’t think he’s gay either. He is certainly sexual with women, but he doesn’t seem to be able to interact with them on any deeper level. Even his relationship with Lisa was founded on not his attraction to her, but the idea of her, of being normal. While, yes, he has sex with women, all his emotional relationships are with men, so at the very least he is homosocial. The interesting thing with Castiel is that there is no familial obligation that keeps them together- not like it does with Sam or Bobby. The level of trust and affection he has for Castiel is homo-romantic I think, and the fact is that if Castiel was played by a woman, they would have had sex ages ago. Dean is loud, brash- but he makes no attempt to deny that Castiel has feelings for him, he doesn’t even laugh it off like he does the other gay jokes. He acknowledges the feelings between him and Castiel by not talking about them, by refusing to comment because they’re not feelings that can be easily resolved, and it’s just f*cking complicated.
