it’s been long since I made a pro Tony Stark post but seeing someone try to blame the events of Civil War going south on him had me heated. look, I will admit that some of Tony’s actions in the movie where not okay at all like wanting to kill Bucky for killing his mother while under HYDRA’s influence but maybe Steve stans and a lot of pro team cap folks should realize that Steve’s actions also played a huge role in the movie as well.
for one, maybe Steve should have realized that 119 countries banding together to make a document, you feel is threatening your rights, is a serious matter. 119 countries is almost two-thirds of the countries in the UN and the world, if a great part of the world thinks you are doing more harm than good, maybe as a superhero, you should try to reason with them.
two, Steve chose to do nothing when he thought his rights were threatened by the accords. I do think there were some human rights violations in the accords that should not have been avoided, however, Steve chose to do nothing. anyone who has done a bit of activism know how ineffective that strategy is.
three, Steve’s actions were proving to the UN even more reasons why they felt the accords were necessary. interfering with law enforcement when they were out for Bucky who was potentially dangerous was a bad idea. sure, Bucky was his best friend and I don’t blame Steve for wanting to save him. however, let us remember that Bucky had killed people while he was the Winter Soldier and the Romanian government didn’t have the perspective we have and they had every reason to see him as a huge threat.
four, infantilizing Wanda by calling her a kid because Tony decided to put her on house arrest. and yes, I agree that Tony not telling Wanda was a very bad idea but let us not forget that the Avengers were still under public scrutiny after a disaster of a mission in Lagos and the accords. Wanda could have been attacked by outsiders who could have gone the Zemo route because a family member was in Lagos and that would have caused her to try to defend herself which could get twisted by the media and turn more of the public against her and the avengers as a whole. mind you, the Avengers were facing enough mistrust from the public.
also, Steve, calling a huge comfortable compound with a swimming pool an internment is a bit tonedeaf to those whose ancestors have been to actual interments. as someone who had an Asian American on his team, I’d expect he know better.
five, accords or not, maybe the Russian government has the right to know about a man controlling dangerously brainwashed men within their country. sure, it latter turned out to be a false alarm but considering the fact that this was a security threat which many countries would take seriously, Steve for some reason never considered the fact that the Russian government should be alerted to something like that. if this didn’t scream arrogance, I don’t know what else did.
six, resisting arrest and trashing public property while on international borders in the bid of resisting arrest would piss off the very people who are already pissed at you and your American passport would not bail you out of that one. even international passports come with a warning about their holders committing a crime in other countries. the fact that Steve acknowledged that his team could get arrested for that made it even worse.
this one is actually addressed to the whole of team cap, not just Steve, but seven, you cannot commit a crime on international soil with full knowledge that it is a crime and then blame somebody else for why you ended up in jail. sure, the rift and Thaddeus Ross are sketchy in nature but Scott and Clint blaming Tony for why they ended up there was funny to me because they made the informed decision to commit a crime.
eight, which is a major part being that it was the climax of Civil War, hmmm, maybe keeping the secret of the death of the parents of your rich teammate whose money was funding the search of their killer from him is a very bad idea. idk, man, I would be angry too if it were me. sure, wanting to kill Bucky was wrong but if we didn’t fault the Mayonnaise twins, T’Challa, Peter Parker and later Shuri for going after their parents’ (perceived, in T’Challa’s case) killers, maybe we could give Tony too some grace because brainwashed or not, I would have gone after Bucky too.
nine, the apology letter was the shittiest letter ever and I don’t blame Tony for not wanting to speak to Steve during the events of Infinity War. like how can you even write that type of letter to someone you offended and expect the relationship to still be intact?
there was one part I almost forgot but that quote that emboldened Steve is also dumb the more I look at it. oh yeah, plant yourself in front of the 119 countries you didn’t even bother to address at all and tell them “no, you move” is the ultimate height of hubris. when you are already on thin ice with the public? and Steve thought this was a good idea? yikes 😬

@savimatteo2810 asked if Saria is Time’s big sister, and yes! She is! All the kokiri from the OoT village are now Time’s older siblings.
After the kokiri became the koroks, a small group of them wanted to go back to living among Hylians again, and eventually they adopted one as their youngest brother. Because of their shift, they’ve still got some plantlike qualities that separate them from Hylians, but they’re closer to Hylians than koroks now.
Saria was captured after pirate captain Sheik was dropped from the Helmaroc King’s claws. Naturally, Time had to go after her.
Why him, and not one of his older siblings (who, at the time, were older than him physically as well)? Well, Saria was blessed with magic that allowed her and the other kokiri to remain as eternal children despite living somewhere other than the island the Great Deku Tree resides on. Without her, they would die. The island they all live on has absorbed enough of that magic to keep them safe after she was kidnapped, but it’ll fade eventually, and it doesn’t extend very far. Time, a Hylian, doesn’t have to worry about that. Not only does he have to get his sister back, but he has to do fast or the rest of his siblings will perish.
Time wore an eyepatch long before he actually lost his eye, and Saria embroidered little flowers and other cute patterns on them for him!
He first started wearing it because his big brother Mido said they were cool, and big brothers would never lie about anything, right?
(Time finds out much later with the chain that Mido has, indeed, lied to him about things. As it turns out, horses are not rodents. That was a very embarrassing misconception that the other Links will never let him live down)

If I think about the putt putt trolls too hard I get sad like-
they were separated by a cave in. They must’ve assumed the other half of the Pop Trolls, or at least most of em, died right? Did they hold funerals? A ceremony at the Golf Course once they learned it was safe for those who passed away in the tunnels?
Did Viva know about the other Troll genre’s and races? Was that kept from her too? I’d assume so. If it was then how depressing is it to view you and your village alone as the only Trolls ever, only for Half of them to die during your escape for freedom?
Given Viva’s comment about “It’s so fantastamazing to see other Trolls!!” I’d assume she only thought those in the Putt Putt Greens were left. Everyone else must’ve assumed that too, right?
Do u Think there’s gravestones? Do u think they planted flowers to represent people who passed away that day?
Do u think when they’re moving the Putt Putt Trolls from the golf course to Trolltopia they come across lil flower patches? Two planted by Viva for her father and sister? Four planted by Clay for his brothers?
Did they mourn? Or did they push all that away? Viva’s definitely someone of avoidance but Clay feels a lot, how different were their mourning periods? Did they cling to each other? Go full loner? They’re closer then close in the movie, maybe there’s an argument to be made it’s teetering on co-dependency
I KNOW ITS A KIDS MOVIE BUT THERES SOMETHING INHERENTLY DEPRESSING ABOUT THE PUTT PUTTS WE DONT TALK ABOUT ENOUGH-

I do think that the crew in wolf would have a lot of scars and shit like when Eiffel got blown up from Lovelace’s bomb he would have like mad burn scars and he would have scars around his fingernails too I think he would have lots and loads of scars all over including from his car crash.
When Kepler got his hand incinerated off he’d have crazy like fire and acid burns all up his arm all the way up to his shoulder blade. He would also have a lot of scars like really deep ones all over.
I think that Lovelace and Jacobi would have some too but different kinds, Lovelace would have like blunt force scars and Jacobi obviously has a lot of bomb scars.
I’m not really sure if Minkowski would have a lot but I’m sure she would have some probably most of them would be from Eiffel doing goofy shit lol and ig some from Hilbert’s experiments but when Eiffel just casually mentioned how he didn’t mean for Hilbert to have to amputate those toes like 👀👀 sir whattt lmao.
Hilbert 👏👏 this man would be COVERED in scars like how some people are covered in tattoos but with scars. The amount of people that would have put out a hella fight before he brutally murdered them this man is made of scars both from his childhood but also by his fucking drive to just keep on trucking along with his shit <33 what a trooper 🤭
What are y’all’s theory’s do you think they have scars if so where and how do you think they acquired them??
