are all animals dangerous?
every animal has the potential to be dangerous under certain circumstances. for instance, a dog could bite you, a moth could distract a UPS driver into plowing through your living room window, you could inhale and choke on an earthworm.

Fury: So Steve, it’s great that you brought this random guy with you and Natasha to my ultra-secret bunker that even Natasha didn’t know about, how do you know him again?
Steve: Sam and I met in a park last week and then I visited him at his job one time and then Natasha and I went to his house when we were fugitives and then we all broke into Fort Worth together
Steve: I also put Sam down as my next of kin in case I get horribly injured or anything. Just so you know

i was rewatching agent carter and???? the queer vibes from everyone are just??? off the charts??? like, we have the obvious couple cartinelli, the qpr energy of dottie and peggy, the enemies-to-lovers dynamic with jack and sousa, the bi4bi GOALS that is ana and jarvis, the queer energy that oozes out of everything howard does,,,, no wonder disney canceled the show there wasnt a single cishet character there
The 'no beta we die like [character]' originated from this damn photo that went viral on Tumblr in 2016 and changed Ao3 tags and fanfic vernacular forever.
Meaning: it's a tag used on fics that were not beta read (the author didn't get someone to read it for them before posting). Betas read fics to check for spelling, grammar, consistently, etc and often edit it.
Similarly, 'Dead dove' or 'dead dove do not eat' is from this scene in Arrested Development.
Meaning: if there's a warning of something really dark/bad, don't open/read it and expect something different. Or: 'mind the tags this is dark, don't read if you don't like it'.
This was in my head all day at school.
“Everybody makes sacrifices for this lifestyle, Mr. Sam.” Peter says solemnly.
Sam gapes at him. “Sacrifices? I was an international fugitive for this ‘lifestyle’. I was on the run for months for this ‘lifestyle’. The Winter f-ing Soldier drop-kicked me off a helicarrier! Your underdeveloped teenage brain has no idea what I’ve put up with for this ‘lifestyle’!"
“Great, so a bunny shouldn’t be too much work!”
