safe as life

people who could have calmed down the hulk who were not natasha

ink-splotch:

1. Steve, our giant dorito of goodness, who was not the person the Hulk caught and saved from death in the first avengers, but who was the first person Hulk ever took an order from. 

Steve respects soldiers; and he respects people who hates bullies, and he was one of the first people to speak to the Hulk and not plead with him. When he tells Hulk, “Thank you,” he means it and even Hulk can tell. When he says, “You’re done, we’ve got it from here,” Hulk believes it. He’s safe. 

2. Tony, who was the falling body Hulk caught, who was one of the few acts of friendship and not destruction Hulk was given in Avengers, who has spent long nights and early mornings with Bruce in the lab now, sharing in something they both love. Tony either:

a. talks science in a soothing tone– “supernovas? the emissions on those things. and mechatronics! omg, let’s talk about nyquist plots, don’t you think they look like butts? they totally look like butts” – until Hulk makes a giant green enraged sigh, puts his hands over his face, and just lets Puny Bruce out to deal with Won’t-Shut-Up-Man.

OR

b. Tony touches down in the Ironman suit and circles Hulk like a particularly irritating gnat. “Hey hey hey Hulk, man, go to sleep. go to sleep okay? go to sleep. go to sleep go to sleep gotosleepgotosleepGOTOSLEEPokaycmonhulkgotosleep” until Hulk finally swats him and does.

(because Tony’s affection always filters through annoyance)

3. Thor, who blasts down and with jovial seriousness begins a brotherly brawl of joint camaraderie. Thor’s one of the few Hulk can’t hurt too easy, and Hulk’s one of the few Thor can’t hurt. 

There are so many frustrations in their lives, these two boys who belong best to simpler worlds and keep getting pulled into machinations and schemes of others–but this, here, is simple. This is just bodies in an empty war zone, all the danger gone. They fight like kittens, like flop-eared puppy dogs, until they roll over panting in the rubble and gasp and laugh themselves to sleep. 

(Steve and Tony, who have finished all the requisite paperwork during this cooldown/beatdown period, come out and carry their snoring allies to the Quinjet– Steve with Bruce wrapped in a blanket, and the Ironman armor lugging Thor.)

4. Probably not Hawkeye, honestly. I love you, Clint, but no. 

5. But not Natasha, who is brave and slippery and terrifying, who is afraid more than almost anything of losing control, whose role on the team is the spy, the killer, the repenter, the manipulator, the blade in the dark, the smile that cuts, the dry wit, Hawkeye’s best friend and Cap’s dose of loyal reality– Natasha, whose role is not to be the girl, the mother, or other people’s peace.

so caps new shield is completely magnetic, right? it doesn’t have handles anymore, just some super strong magnets that attach to his gauntlets.

but then you’ve got the gifs where you see natasha using the shield like this one 

that mean’s she’s gotta have her own gauntlets specifically designed for the shield too. cap shares his shield with nat. this is good.

it’s like friendship bracelets .. but more badass

Now all im imagining is cap and nat with matching friendship bracelets…

Nat has a friendship necklace for Clint, of course there are friendship bracelets

Check the left arm.

IT’S LIKE SQUAD FRIENDSHIP BRACELETS

CAP SQUAD

AMERICA SQUAD

ETERNAL FRIENDSHIP SQUAD BRACELETS

OK BUT BUCKY BETTER HAVE ONE OF THESE

WHO ARE WE KIDDING

BUCKY TURNS HIS WHOLE ARM INTO A GIANT FRIENDSHIP BRACELET

I am pleased by how this post turned out

To anyone who thinks that Dan or Phil would move out without the other

amazingemmaisonfire:

phanjam:

1) London is expensive.
 It’s not cheap to live there even with their income, and their apartment is actually pretty luxurious. For example, when Caspar pretended to be moving out, Joe said he couldn’t afford to pay the other half of the rent for long, and they have around the same amount of subscribers as D &P. 

 2) They would have to quit doing the gaming channel.
If one of them moved out, it would be too difficult to continue making gaming videos at such a high rate as they’ve been doing now. They’re nearly at 1 million subscribers, so I doubt they would abandon it so soon. 

 3) Their careers would suffer.
As they already know, a large portion of their dedicated fanbase loves them as a duo and more so the companies that hire them. The videos with the most views usually have both of them in it and DanandPhilshop sales would plummet if one of them were to move out, since moving out means seeing less of them together. (and broken hearted phan shippers obv)  And so with their presenting, radio shows,sponsored videos, and movies, it is less appealing for viewers and people hiring if they are not a duo. Unlike SMOSH, who are alright because their main channel is focused around them two, Dan and Phil have individual channels whose careers are only linked by all the time they spend together. 

 3) Dan can’t actually live alone.
 He’s never actually lived by himself, he went straight from his family to a crowded college dorm to Phil’s apartment. Dan once tweeted that he wouldn’t be able to live by himself, because of his existential crisis. Not just anyone can comfort him, evident when he was complaining about it and a friend offered comfort but Dan denied it. Also when Phil leaves on holidays, we should all probably know by now that Dan gets depressed and lonely and spams his Twitter with sad tweets. It seems like that only Phil can actually comfort Dan when he’s in a rough spot. They are each other’s mental support. 

4) Why would you get a new roommate? 
 It is hard to believe you can get a more perfect flatmate than another Youtuber. It would be embarrassing trying to film videos (especially late at night) with someone who wouldn’t understand, like Dan would complain about the difficulty of his college roommates and his family overhearing. They help each other film, be side characters, edit, review, and advise for each of their videos. Being in each others videos also boosts their popularity since they’re both famous. Why would you fire a free assistant and advisor who boosts your popularity, but is also your best friend who watches movies and plays games with you? 

5) They can’t live without each other. (msg me if gifs belong to you)

Seriously. They’re literally inseperable. 

Omg thank you so much you just made my day. Oh thank god
