#how to get ahead

[brinaarcadia]

Sure you hear it in Rapture. One of the business types asked me, why don't you "splice white?" Get ahead. Well, that's some idiocy. I told him, first of all, I am ahead. Second, in Rapture it's your work that's supposed to matter, not your skin. Too bad for some folks you can't splice in common sense.

absolutely hilarious to me that agatha calls rio a bad boy when in reality rio is actually the rule following jock with infinite patience and care who brings you flowers on a first date.

agatha on the other hand is the snarky girl who gets into arguements with her teacher about the smallest details in the lecture and is constantly getting detention for cursing someone out. she's top of all her classes tho.

i've said it before but it will forever and always make me insane that jacob's ending is to join the cullens for the sake of bella not having to give anything up. they find out jake will be immortal & tied to renesmee forever, so bella gets to smile & say "my family is finally complete! ^-^" but jake already HAS a family. he has a father and 2 sisters. quil, embry, seth and sam are like his brothers. jacob and leah were planning to run away together. he's always been welcome in emily's home, sue has been a family friend since before his birth. bella abandons her mortality by choice because she feels no connection to the people around her, but jacob has really strong bonds. it's clear that every character we meet in la push is like family to him, he's an active member of the community. jake would've graduated high school and been a mechanic, would've grown into a young man. a good friend, a fun uncle, a present son. he's set up to have such a rich life. and he's just magically compelled to give that up. beyond his control, he loses sight of everything, because his high school crush's baby is now the singular most important thing to him. he's perpetually 18 with his perpetually 18 year old girlfriend, running around vancouver or alaska or wherever with the girl who friendzoned him at 16 & her in-laws (who were antagonistic to him for months). and i'm just supposed to say omg yay now he doesn't have to let go of bella! everyone is happy! it's complete madness

Drawing I made based off a run me and some friends did

Me when the family is color coordinated

They forced Rodger’s ass out of bed so they could do a run in the middle of the night

Also doodled a very memorable moment from the run

We did indeed manage to find heals that floor, btw.

It’s always ‘bad dad cap’ until the JL actually meet his ‘kids’. The JL then decide they would each take a kid to see if they can get some info. It goes as well as you expect

Diana: Never again

JL: ???

CM: what did she do now

Diana: tried to take over Themesquira

CM: Mary!

Mary: IT WAS TO INCREASE EFFECIENCY

CM: WHAVE HAVE WE SAID ABOUT CAPITALISM

Mary: … not to enter its thrall

CM: because …

Mary: *sighs* you’ll end up bald like Sivanna

CM: Good.

Superman, coming in with Pedro

Clark: nope no nu uh nada

Clark: HE BROKE MY FORTRESS

CM: the for three of Solitude?

Clark: I just wanted him to show him how strong fortress was

CM: and he took it as a challenge?

Clark: HE TOOK IT AS A CHALLENGE

John Constantine, throwing Eugene at Cap:

Jonn: NO KIDS IN THE HOUSE OF MYSTERIES. EVER AGAIN.

Euegene: IT WAS TECHNOLOGICALLY DEFICIENT

John: NOT UP TO YOU TO CHANGE THAT

Flash, being dragged in by Freddy

Freddy: Oh hey guys 👋

CM: what you got there?

Freddy: He said running would do me some good.

CM: … okay fair

Hal, in the corner: unicorns are nice, unicorns are bad, unicorns are real, it’s aaaalllllll in my head

CM: …

Darla: want some skittles?

CM: you’re all grounded

Shazamily: OH COMME ON

JL watching the kids be buried in the ground - their heads. Suddenly they understand a bit more now.

「 boys don't cry 」

about suppressed emotions, downplayed heartaches, and the expectations to remain stoically self reliant without the community and connection needed to help open the paths away from isolated self destruction.

Spideytorch high school sweethearts AU except Johnny breaks up with Peter after he gets back from space. Johnny's still in love but his family's safety is now banked on public opinion, and Johnny's terrified what being out as gay would do to that.

Unfortunately he completely botches the explanation to Peter, who only hears that what they had doesn't mean anything now that Johnny has to leave and go be a celebrity. His boyfriend's too good to be with humdrum ol'Peter Parker with the ratty shoes and dead parents. No, it's probably going to be supermodels and brand deals for the Human Torch from now on, and at best Peter gets to be the old friend from high school who calls sometimes. Not even good enough to be seen hanging out together. Well, if that's the case, Peter's not interested in being "just friends" with Johnny who still gets to "talk on the phone sometimes". In fact, he's perfectly fine with never hearing from him again.

Johnny flies away from that conversation in anguish, heartbroken that he has lost the first and only friend he's ever had, his first love. Peter develops a level of spite towards the Human Torch that rivals the future animosity of J. Jonah Jameson towards Spider-Man.

When Johnny later learns about Spider-Man he's enamored with the idea of befriending him, someone who understands what it's like to be a young superhero struggling through life. This hope crashes and burns upon them actually meeting, when Spider-Man makes some extremely personal attacks completely unprompted. Their rivalry is started with the verbal equivalent of tossing a lit stick of dynamite, and from then on it's so bad that Spider-Man is often identified as a member of the Human Torch's rogues gallery.

What really, really doesn't help is Johnny and Peter's reunion a few months later. Johnny, feeling guilty of how it all went down and struggling to get over Peter, apologizes and asks if they can be actual friends again, not that half-hearted stuff he'd initially proposed. Not only does this get turned down, Peter hints that he's been seeing other people after Johnny, and he's not naming any names, but Spider-Man's a better kisser than the Human Torch.

Johnny doesn't take it well.

Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson | 34k | 26 Chapters

The festive period is a traditionally hectic one in the world of Premier League football, and this year is no different. A lot is riding on how Manchester United is able to come through the fixtures in the coming weeks.

Louis and his teammates know all too well the pressure that is on their shoulders. They need to prove, not just to fans of the club but the entire league, that they still have what it takes to be a team worthy of fighting for the top of the table.

Throw in the fact that Louis is all too aware that he's not getting any younger in a profession that demands your peak physical fitness year round and the incredibly fit Harry Styles, who is part of the club's social media team, and this year's festive period might just be the most important one yet.

the empathy leaving keyboard activists' bodies when you tell them that sometimes what accommodates one disability is nightmarish for another disability and accusing people of being lazy/not trying hard enough to keep up unless they provide sufficient proof of exemption is basically no different than yelling at someone for using an accessible parking spot because they aren't visibly limping
