i swear everything that i see is something i don't wanna see but need to

Can I be honest with you?

I seriously went to other people to ask how I should approach you. I don’t even know who I fucking am anymore. I’ve always been a “talk about it” or “if you wanna know, ask” kind of person. Blunt. Straight. To the point. But I’ve been so scared I might be pushing you away, so petrified by the idea that I might come on too strong, that I started playing all these silly little games. I fucking hate staring at my phone wanting nothing more than to talk to you, but holding back because “it hasn’t been a whole day yet” or because I’m “waiting for you to text first.” Fuck. That. I like you; maybe a little more than I’d like to admit. I want to go out and experience new things with you. See you smile and laugh while we make stupid little jokes to each other. I want to learn what makes you tick. What your deepest fears are. What your biggest passions are. I want to prove to you that you mean more to me than just some repository for attention. If that scares you away, then fine. If you don’t feel comfortable with that yet, that’s okay. I can’t force you to like me. But at least I’ll be able to sleep at night knowing that I put my best foot forward. That I wore my heart on my sleeve, and no one had to guess how I feel. I’m done playing these stupid fucking games.

Am I still butthurt about Natasha Romanoff's death? Yes.

Am I still butthurt about Tony Stark's death? Also yes.

Do I still stand by the fact that Clint should've jumped of the cliff even tho nat sacrificed herself for everyone? Definitely.

I'm just saying that yall can't really use the whole 'but Clint had a family' thing either cause tony did too. Also yall do realize that dude deadass went on a whole ass killing spree during that 5 year gap. Those people had families too. I understand that natasha's death made more sense because of her character arc and shit tho. She deserved better tho cause sis didn't even get a damn funeral like tony did. I get that she wasn't as known and shit but like- damn.

“that’s not America’s ass”

falling in love prompts +

feel free to use :)

“i genuinely don’t know why my brain just goes blank when i look at you. i think i’m going a little crazy.”

the little laugh or smile a character a does in utter disbelief because character b is just so endearing and sigh

one character going “so this is really awkward cause i know i told you i wasn’t looking for love but then i kinda fell in love and i would love it if you’d take me”

“can i love you?”

“i just… adore you.”

character a noticing character b is sleepy while driving and being like “hey i can take over for you”

the classic “no i’m not in love with character a, yes thinking about hurting them makes me want to throw myself into ongoing traffic, no it doesn’t make sense to me either”

their love interest fell asleep and your main character has a blanket so they give it to them

confessions when one character thinks the other is sleeping

they kiss for the first time and one character just steps back and is like “um ok. yeah that’s not a normal kiss i def love u”

character not being able to even fathom or come close to understanding how someone can dislike such a beautiful ray of sunshine and oh yeah ok…. they’re def in love

characters who’ve been married for years falling in love all over again

exes to lovers

“i think i love you…?” “….. think?” “let’s just say a ninety-nine percent chance.” “i’ll take it.”

that moment where your character just… looks. just looks at their love interest for more than five seconds and doesn’t understand why or how this earth can exist and the sun and moon exist and the sky can be an eternal source of happiness and yet this person right here can bring so much more warmth and comfort to them with just a single glance

note confessions because yes written confessions in letters are superior

“i got you a gift. i hope you like it.” and character who receives the gift tries not to mention that any gift would mean more than the stars in the sky as long as it was from them

“do you… love me, by any chance?” “yeah, why?” “well, i’m sorry, i was just— WAIT WHAT—”

seriously tho. and when it comes to reading fanfiction as well, i'm constantly having to see the MC face some sort of microagression. not only that but they're portrayed in a way that you can easily tell that they were simply written by a nonblack person — yk what i'm talking about... the racial stereotypes, making us seem "ghetto," or "rachet," all that stuff. and even when i do find a fic with a black author, the MC is purposefully made into a walking stereotype.

shit like that makes me wanna rip my hair out. i'd think that im finally seeing the representation i want, only to be disappointed in the end. there's only like a select few of fics that i find that have a good rep when it comes to writing black characters that i really enjoy.

do you know how exhausting it is being hyper aware of how black people are portrayed in fictional media? I would love to be able to enjoy a show without picking up microagressions and subtle stereotypes and frowning to myself when it happens again and again.

To this day, I refuse to believe that natasha and tony are dead.

Id sleep a LOT better if they gave my girl tasha a fucking funeral like they did for tony

knowing that she's either going to be my wife or the biggest wlw soul crushing (but needed) canon event
