Surprised loki didnt flinch at all with all that lightning coursing around him

he grew up with that guy, he’s used to it

Loki didn’t even transform, his suit was an illusion and he just took it off.

Yeah, Loki just dispelled the illusion, but Thor actually had to change clothes, so he needed the lightning blast to cover the ThunderPenis.

I’m convinced Loki is perma-nude and EVERY outfit you see is an illusion. Why deal with the discomfort of chafing pleather pants when you can just trick people into thinking you’re wearing clothes?

Also, “ThunderPenis” nearly killed me.

A teenage boy sitting behind me when I first saw this movie narrated the transformation with “BAM! Now we sexy!” and I hear it in my head every. single. time.

people who think cis is an acronym crack me up

As a cishet male, it took me a long time to realize that just meant “cisgender heterosexual.”

But if we’re talking acronyms, it could have accurately stood for “cargo-included shorts / hides emotions terribly” as well.

we can forgive you for not knowing what cishet is
but cargo shorts? that is too far

I’m hoping to get a pardon due to extenuating circumstances on this one.

You see, as a white cishet guy who regularly shaves off all my hair, wearing cargo shorts is about the most overt way I can think of to broadcast to everyone in the vicinity:

DO NOT BE ALARMED! THIS HUGE NERD IS OBVIOUSLY NOT A SKINHEAD!

wait… what does trans stand for then?

They stand for each other and for a world without fear

Flavoracle definitely has a third eye and it’s wide open honey

“That was my biggest experience going to Merchant Taylors’. Extreme code switching. The most confusing conversation is to have to talk about the colonization of our continents.” We laughed a little at the ridiculousness of sentences like “we colonized us,” or “we took us into slavery.” But then his face turned serious. “That’s what we are. We are the inheritors of the scars of Empire, but also the spoils of Empire. And that kind of inside/outside state is totally ingrained in us. Which is why, at a time like now, where everybody’s being asked to pick a side, everything is binary, it’s a confusing time to be us.”

important facts about community college

– just as much of a quality education as you would get at a state school or uni 

– much more affordable 

– usually more night classes that make going to school while working and/or taking care of kids much easier 

– transfer students actually have a higher graduation rate than students who have been at a university all 4 years 

– there is nothing wrong with aspiring to go to a community college 

– there is nothing wrong with being proud of attending a community college 

– there is absolutely nothing wrong with community college

When I won the great ovarian egg search of 1975, I never thought I’d amount to much. But in a piddly four decades, I’ve achieved some pretty incredible things. Par exemple..

R1 Anatomy Canons: Jyn & Cassian

Motivated by this post from @basada-en-la-esperanza

[For an everybody-lives au, not necessarily in any of my ‘verses or fics]

~ I know there’s a post out there somewhere defining all of these but for the life of me I can’t find it so I’m just guessing

(P.S. if you know where that post is PLS LET ME KNOW it will bother me)

Okay back to content: 

Headcanons:
J: If Jyn had received a formal education, she would’ve been recognized as a genius. But as it is, everything she knows she basically taught herself, and even if her knowledge is incomplete or biased in certain ways, it’s super impressive.
C: Basic was the first language Cassian learned after his native one, and the hardest to master. He knows several other languages now, all of them better than he knows Basic. 

Heartcanons:
J: Jyn’s been in love before. At one point, while bouncing around the Galaxy between Saw’s abandonment and Wobani, she met another slicer and fell in love with them. She didn’t mean to, it just happened. When she realized how far in she was, she left them in the middle of the night, with no warning or note. She changed her identity and never saw them again. It was her first and only relationship before Cassian. 
C: Cassian’s secretly sentimental. He has keepsakes and mementos hidden in his room even though he’s never sure he’ll come back to base. He’d leave them in a heartbeat if he had to, but he still has them. 

Gutcanons:
J: Jyn has spent significant periods of time food insecure, and is an expert at rationing, because she can’t fight if she’s weak. She never wastes anything from the Rebellion canteen, and Cassian gets used to finding odd bits of food hidden around their quarters.
C: Cassian will always lose a hand-to-hand fight against Jyn. Every single time. He secretly likes it though 😉 

Junkcanons:
J: Jyn is a sass master, outdone only by Kay. (looks Cassian dead in the eye- “I found this blaster.”) Fight me
C: Cassian’s alcohol tolerance is garbage

Spleencanons
J: Jyn has never compromised her central morals– even at her most desperate. She never worked for an Empire sympathizer, and never stole from someone she didn’t determine deserved it. 
C: After Eadu, Cassian never lies to Jyn again. Not even a lie of omission

Ok but Crowley is the reason Sherlock Holmes is so enduring.

No no, bear with me.

The first stories come out in The Strand. Crowley, newly woken from his near-century of sleep, reads them in Aziraphale’s copy, and really likes them. Aziraphale, who moves in literary circles, offers to introduce him to Doyle.

Crowley is very excited, and when they meet wrings Doyle’s hand and go on about how much he likes the stories.

Doyle, of course, is a rude bastard, and dismisses Crowley’s praise. He doesn’t like the character, he’s not interested in what people like Crowley think to him.

Crowley is initially tempted to destroy him, and ruin his career, but then realises he can get better revenge than that. He makes the popularity of the stories and books blow up. He puts them everywhere. He makes Sherlock Holmes the talk of London. He finances the backstreet presses printing spin-off stories.

And he keeps it going, firing up Holmes’ popularity until Doyle is driven out of his mind, believing in fairies and hating his own work. Until Arthur Conan Doyle is only ever remembered for Sherlock Holmes, and Crowley gets unending adaptations for himself.
