Natasha actually being a very affectionate person but hides it because she doesn’t like it when she’s seen as vulnerable. She likes people seeing her as the strong and lethal woman that she is but that doesn’t mean she’s like that when it’s just her and her teammates.
Natasha being the one to snuggle into Tony’s side during movie night, Natasha placing kisses on Clint’s forehead, Natasha wearing one of Thor’s hoodies because she does miss him when he goes away. She leans into Bruce’s side whenever they’re seated next to each other at the dining table, will hop onto Steve’s back for piggy back rides because fuck anyone who says they’re childish, she loves them. Her and Wanda hiding underneath the blankets, laughing like crazy in the early hours of the morning as they exchange stories, wrapped up in each other’s arms.
Her and Bucky pecking each other’s lips, arms around each other’s waists, playing footsie underneath the table, dozing off on the couch as they snuggle into each other.
This only happens when she’s away from the public eye because she feels like this is something that is for her to share with her team and no one else. The team also feel really honored to be at the receiving end of Natasha’s affectionate gestures because it shows that she does love them and trusts them immensely, she’s opening up to them.
And it’s one of the best things ever, that Natasha feels comfortable with them, that she views them as her family.
ppl who randomly message u on the tumble are the best kind of ppl even if they’re just bein all like ‘hello!’ because its like omg hi hello person wow someones talking to me this is the best day ever
And over time I realised a bit of a pattern, but it didn’t hit me in the face until one of my dates mentioned that we live in the generation of the ‘Disney Effect’. He got me thinking quite a bit.
As uncharming the man opposite of me was - at least in my oppinion - he did have a very good point. I am at the end of my Twenties and he was at the beginning of his Thirties.
What he said was the following and I am only recalling it as far as I can with my little brain: Most of us have parents and also grandpartens who are still together, who love eachother, or at least seem to do so, because when they met, and got married it was custom to actually stay together. No matter what.
So instead of breaking up, whatever the problems were... they mended them, worked through them.
But as children, we rarely saw the extent of the trouble or grand/parents went through to stay and be together. We never realised the developement of character they might have gone through together, to make their relationship work out.
Out of couriosity I talked to my mother, who actually told me that her and my father almost split up, after roughly seven years of marrage. They had a rough patch and what my mother said was: They had to learn to actually, really talk to eachother. Which was really hard.
I honestly think my parents are truely happy together. My mother often says, that he is her best friend and my father often tells my mother, that she is the love of his life.
But it was work to get there.
To get to the thirty years of marrage they just celebrated a few weeks ago.
So no.
No Prince Charming (or Princess) will just fall in our lap without needing to work for it. There is true love, but it won’t just happen out of nothingness.
There are certain aspects of Tumblr culture that I find really creepy.
Pulling receipts on people is one of them.
Even creepier, the people who go out of their way to send asks like “Just so you know, you reblogged so-and-so and they said something homophobic three years ago.”
Okay? So? I’m just here reblogging dog pictures and funny screen caps from trash tv shows. I don’t really care what so-and-so said three years ago.
You know who else said ignorant shit three years ago? Me.
You know who else said ignorant shit three years ago? You, probably.
I mean, if I reblog something from someone who is actively, currently, human garbage… like if I reblog something from someone who is on par with Donald Trump, go ahead and tell me.
Otherwise, maybe just let it go and stop pouring so much energy into policing the internet. Most of the people here are in their teens and early twenties. They are going to say ignorant shit that they regret!
If you are currently in your teens and twenties and you’re bristling at the idea that you too may be saying ignorant shit that you are going to regret, just you wait and see.
Growing up is a constant progression of looking back at your past self and thinking “Oh god, what the fuck was wrong with me?”
I remember my very first day, I improvised a line. My first day, probably my first shot, I had to kind of flounce out of a room when Dumbledore, played by the late, great Richard Harris, put me in my place, and there was no line written, no exit line. And I’d been humiliated, and my plan had come to nothing. And I said to Chris Columbus, “Don’t you think there should be a line?” And he said, “Well, say something. Say whatever you like.” So we did another take, and I hadn’t told anyone what I was going to do. And as I turned to leave, I looked at Daniel, and I said, “Let us hope Mr. Potter will always be around to save the day.” And then Daniel, who was all of 12, stepped right up to me, looked me right in the eye, and said “Don’t worry. I will be.” A chill went down my spine. And as he did it, I thought, “Christ, this kid is good.” — Jason Isaacs
