Another Nice Thing About Thunderbolts* Is That There's Just No Romance At All. It's Been Too Long Since

The thing about gen z tiktok slang is that while the worst most aggravating examples have done active damage to society. The good ones are absolute hall of fame linguistic all-timers I find myself struggling to live without

the calm before the storm

Bob giving up control of his life to the physical embodiment of his depression and then beating himself up over it and the void just becoming more powerful as a result is such a perfect metaphor. like yeah, that's exactly how it is, you can't beat depression with self-loathing, you need support and purpose and the people you love and loves you. they pulled it off beautifully

operation culturing your friends is a go!!!!

hello everyone. i was able to force my friends into watching the ENTIRE lotr trilogy in one sitting, extended edition of course. we ended the night (early morning) with tears in their eyes, the ao3 tab on standby, and someone signing up for tumblr to join the fanbase, and don't forget me yapping about the appendices until i fell asleep. i am Very satisfied

Something I love about John is that he’s a true brother in arms who is meant to hold a shield.

He jumps in to defend his team - physically like when he jumps in front of Bucky when Sentry sends the bullets back at him, and verbally when he tells Yelena to lay off Alexei

He doesn’t leave people behind - elevator idiocy aside because that was dumb of him and of all of them. They should’ve gotten higher above the doorway for starters!

He makes sure others go ahead of him, and this is most evident in the Void maze, where the only exception is THE Red Guardian who makes sure John goes ahead of him

I love that military side of him, that defends his team mates and doesn’t leave them behind

liking someone platonically is so embarrassing like. yeah i admire you. yeah i think about you all the time. yeah i look forward to every time i see you even if it's only for a minute. yeah it's all platonic and yeah i couldn't explain this because it'd sound romantic. fucking hell

it is absolutely essential to have friends you can have extremely insane pervert conversations with. this is kind of what makes life worth living

hey guys have you ever heard of THE CHARACTER. i’m thinking about THE CHARACTER. honestly can’t even get shit done because i’m thinking about THE CHARACTER. i’m listening to a song and imagining THE CHARACTER. all i know and love is THE CHARACTER

My mind:

this is exactly what i was thinking during the entirety of thunderbolts!!!

I wanna see Steven Grant and Bob interact 🙏
