I’ll have the Steven Universe fandom get the Crystal Gems to form Alexandrite so they can crush anyone who questions the SuperWhoLocks, Potterheads, and Fannibals…
hey tumblr. i thought i wouldn’t have to do this any more, but it turns out you can’t trust people at all lol
i need £631 to pay rent arrears and two outstanding utility bills. you can donate here.
i’m a bi, transsexual gender-nonconforming russian-jewish man living in extreme poverty in scotland. i’m also a crippled wheelchair user, on the schizophrenic and bipolar spectrums, have severe developmental-disability level ADHD and am unable to work whatsoever. i have zero family support. i spend 70% of the time in bed due to extreme fatigue and chronic pain. i currently get around £127 a week from disability benefits and this is nowhere near enough.
my flatmate is supposed to be paying half the utility bills but she’s been consistently flakey with that and seems to expect me to pay the full electricity bill for the last couple of months, as she messaged me and the friend we’re renting from informing us of the total and making zero mention of whether she’d be contributing. my landlord initially seemed open to accepting late rent payments but recently has told me he cannot wait 6 weeks for my local housing allowance application to be processed. it looks like i’m on the hook for both the leccy and the internet bill and i owe £500 in rent arrears.
i’m at my wit’s end. i thought i had gained some stability when i found a semi-permanent housing situation, but people on whom i depend to stay housed consistently act like i have vast untapped reserves of money i can conjure up at a moment’s notice, despite the fact i am estranged from my family and the only financial support i have rn is a) begging on tumblr b) my gf, who’s an unemployed part-time student. people irl mostly treat me like shit and expect me to Be Responsible, as if i’m not already going days without food to make ends meet.
please, i’m begging you, i need help right now. i don’t have anywhere to go if i lose this housing situation as i do not have a credit history and have consistently struggled to find a landlord willing to take a chance on me, leading to me living in temporary, abusive situations for a year in 2016-2017.
i understand if you cannot afford to donate, but please reblog if you can’t. i am trying to get my life together and i just need some help until LHA.
hey!! i have just over half of what i need rn!! i can pay utility bills but i’m still around £300 short of rent!
Because I’m sick to death of anyone making Team Cap’s intention during the airport battle about anything other than Cap and company trying to get to Siberia to stop five other Winter Soldiers, here’s some dialogue from the movie for ya…
STEVE: Hear me out, Tony. That doctor, the psychiatrist, he’s behind all this.
TONY: Anyway. Ross gave me 36 hours to bring you in. That was 24 hours ago. Can you help a brother out?
STEVE: You’re after the wrong guy!
TONY: Your judgment is askew. Your old war buddy killed innocent people yesterday.
STEVE: And there are five more super soldiers just like him. I can’t let the doctor find them first, Tony. I can’t.
Then, later…
BUCKY: We gotta go. That guy is probably in Siberia by now.
STEVE: We gotta draw out the flyers. I’ll take Vision, you get to the jet.
SAM: No, *you* get to the jet! Both of you! The rest of us aren’t getting out of here.
CLINT: As much as I hate to admit it… if we’re going to win this one some of us might have to lose it.
SAM: This isn’t the real fight, Steve.
So anyone saying that Team Cap had any drive other than stopping five enhanced Hydra agents from being awakened by Zemo and wreaking havoc, or so they were led to believe, should probably get their ears checked.
Say it with me, folks. The airport battle was not about the Accords. At least not from Team Cap’s perspective.
This
^^^^ All of this.
Theres this common tumblr joke that Steve was allll about irrationally believing Bucky to be an angel, or inappropriately shielding him from the consequences of his actions.
When… that doesn’t happen. At all.
Steve was ready to believe Bucky could have set off that bomb, and went after him before the SWAT team got there in order to take Bucky alive and try to save SWAT lives doing it. Not because he was certain he was innocent. (He said to Nat, “If he’s this far gone, Nat, I should be the one to bring him in…”)
Steve, as you say, is motivated through the entire airport sequence to *stop the other soldiers,* the unleashing of which he fully believes is Zemo’s plan.
Steve does literally everything he can to simply stop Tony’s murderous rage, and only begins to lose his temper toward the end of the fight… a temper he relocates himself, before he goes too far.
Steve is consistently one of THE most level headed people anywhere in the film. Its the rest of the situation around him thats pitting his and Bucky’s needs against that of some of his friends. Steve’s morals around consent and authority and his position on the Accords may not line up with yours. But that doesnt mean he isnt sensibly following his own compass (and besides that, the Accords actually aren’t playing into his motivations for a surprisingly large chunk of the film. He’s got other fish to fry.) He may also have a reputation for sass and splashy actions. But that doesn’t make his motivations in CW that of a hothead.
Hey there US friends! If you’re voting using these machines (Hart eSlate) or similar ones right now or in the near future, make sure that the machine has NOT changed your ballot before casting it, ‘k? It’s apparently an already known problem, and has been for years, but has never been fixed.
no greek god is inherently and wholly “good” or “bad” because they were all flawed and imperfect in some way with different facets of personality and character to serve as a reflection of society and human nature itself
oh except for zeus he was a straight up absolute bastard
some asshat just said “If you can’t fabricate your own one liners while spellcasting then you have no buisness being a Bard.”
fuck off. it’s great for the Immersive Experience if you can, but if someone doesn’t need to be able to lift a greataxe to play a fighter, they don’t need fuck all to play a bard.
