The Apprentice full interview

I’m re-watching Captain America Civil War and- They told Bucky to kill Tony’s parents without witnesses and he manages to find the probably only forest in the world with a random security camera by the road-side and kills them exactly in front of that security camera while looking right at said security camera when he disables it and also fails to make sure that the tape inside is destroyed how can you screw up so bad? 

GUYS GUYS GUYS I AM NOT OKAY. IM GOING FERALLLLLLLLLL AHRHGFAHDOUHDLHBBDLIHBLKJBNMJKLSKH

Johansson says her most odd and uncomfortable day on the movie was the time she was “riding Sebastian Stan like a mechanical bull.” “I felt so bad for him — and me! They hoisted me up on poor Sebastian’s shoulders and I was holding on with my legs wrapped around. It was horrible!” Or, as Evans calls out after overhearing her answer: “Sebastian’s best day at work!”

“It was terrible!” Johansson insists. “He was like ‘Ow my hair.’ I’m whipping around him and choking him out. It’s a pretty great Widow move. But that day shooting it, I was looking at the directors going: ‘I hate you…this better look good!’”

I laughed so fucking hard at this

lmao so i was just going through my camera roll and clearing some photos out, when i stumbled across this screenshot i took in january of 2020 and…

i’m in shock. i literally don’t know how i forgot this happened, like i was actually astounded when i found this. NEVER forget when steve rogers’ ending was so horrifically out-of character that SEBASTIAN STAN HIMSELF posted a screenshot to instagram of a tweet dogging on his ending. it’s been years and i still haven’t forgiven marvel. i don’t think i ever will.

Petition for people to stop asking Sebastian Stan about Bucky and for Sebastian Stan to stop making me cry 2k16

do you know what it’s like to be unmade?

Supersoldier Physiology

It's common in fanfictions, including mine, to show Steve or Bucky as needing to eat a lot of food, but I've often wondered about this. It makes sense, since he's got a lot of muscle mass (Sam: "You're heavier than you look!") and we've seen in First Avenger that he's got a metabolic rate about 4x that of a normal human.

However, unlike other heroes (DC's Flash and, heck, even Tony Stark), we almost never see either Bucky or Steve eating. This could just be a directorial/writing decision since the stories are usually jam-packed and a lot ends up on the cutting room floor. Maybe TPTB simply figure it's implied and when the supersoldiers eat, they eat hefty meals (Steve in TWS: "I had a big breakfast.")

Or maybe the serum also makes them more metabolically efficient. Who knows? :)

But here is an interesting journal article on the topic:

Superhero physiology: the case for Captain America

Captain America is rarely seen ingesting food. This is significant since energy substrate utilization depends on caloric consumption. This is also directly relevant to statements made in the movies that Captain America has a resting metabolic rate four times above the normal human, making him resistant to the effects of alcohol (shown in Captain America: The First Avenger). The normal resting rate of oxygen consumption is 3.5 ml·kg−1·min−1 (15). Four times this value places Captain America’s resting metabolic rate at 14 ml·kg−1·min−1. With a body mass of 109 kg and an estimated body fat percentage of 10%, this means that his resting caloric expenditure is 7.63 kcal/min, contrasted to a normal human of the same body mass who expends roughly 1.9 kcal/min at rest. Hence, the elevated resting metabolic rate tremendously increases Cap’s caloric demand to maintain body weight. However, that Captain America is not shown constantly eating to meet this elevated resting caloric demand indicates that he does not need to ingest four times the amount of calories as would a normal 109-kg adult male with a greatly exaggerated resting metabolic rate.

The scientific explanation for this lies with metabolic efficiency. The normal adult male or female is very inefficient, as roughly 75–80% of the energy liberated in the body during metabolic processes is lost as heat (31). Thus, roughly 20–25% of ingested calories are utilized for energy production. A case could be made that Captain America’s dietary demands are not different due to an improved metabolic efficiency. This is supported by the fact that constant eating is not a part of his character as displayed in the movies. Nor do we see him sweating to dissipate the heat load associated with normal physiological inefficiency. We propose three main adaptations to explain this: 1) a major improvement in digestive efficiency mediated through both greatly increased absorptive capacity and reduced dietary-induced thermogenesis (this aspect will not be discussed further in this paper), 2) a greatly reduced metabolic energy expenditure in processes such as the Na+/K+ pump (discussed briefly below), and 3) tremendously enhanced cellular substrate utilization (discussed in greater detail since many physiological changes occur in response to chronic exercise training to allow for this effect).

This is the photo shoot that made me fall for our dreamy Romanian stud 😍

It just kills me when writers create franchises where like 95% of the speaking roles are male, then get morally offended that all of the popular ships are gay. It’s like, what did they expect?

when god closes a door you reach your little paws under it and go mrrwwaaaooow mmreeaaow

"She is neither pink nor pale, and she never will be all mine; she learned her hands in a fairy-tale, and her mouth on a valentine."

this is your gentle reminder to stop fighting against your adhd and instead structure your life around it

buy a pack of chapsticks and put one in the pocket of all of your coats and jackets because you always forget to bring one and chapped lips is sensory hell

leave important things where you can see them. if they go in a box or a drawer you will forget they exist

put any appointments or deadlines in your phone calendar As Soon As you get them. set a reminder for a week before, a day before, an hour before, as many as you need as often as you need them.

when that little voice in your head says “i dont need to write that down, ill remember it” that is the devil talking!!! write it down anyway!!

plan for down time. have a few hours at the end of every day to just do fun stuff like engage in your hyperfixations. even if you didnt get all of your work done that day, have the rest anyway. you probably spent the whole day beating yourself up for not doing what you Should be doing, so you still need the break.

if you never eat vegetables because its too much effort to chop and cook them, get the frozen or canned shit. it doesnt go off for ages and you just have to microwave it. theres no point buying fresh vegetables if they just keep going off and being left to rot in the bottom of your fridge

if you struggle to decide what to have for dinner every day, take the decision out of it. choose a set of meals and eat those on rotation until you get sick of them, then choose some new ones and do it again.

its not stupid if it works! our brains literally have a chemical deficiency. you are allowed to accommodate yourself. go forth and stop making your life more difficult than it has to be because “this shouldn’t be this hard”. it is hard, so make it easier.

“We were just there on set because we knew there was gonna be no dialogue. We knew it was just gonna play back in the museum as silent footage of them together so as we shot it, they were just talking to each other, not even as the characters, they were just talking to each other as Chris Evans and Sebastian Stan, trying to make each other laugh and have a good time just so we have this little moment between the two characters. We actually never had a script in terms of what was happening there in a storytelling level, it was just a moment to show the two were close and had a great relationship.”
