A Truly Strong Person Does Not Need The Approval Of Others Any More Than A Lion Needs The Approval Of

“mother says there are locked rooms inside us. sometimes, the men – they come with keys, and sometimes, the men – they come with hammers.”

since there is a lot of nostalgia for the avengers/mcu fandom circa 2012, here are some of the most commonly used tropes in fanfics and fanworks that we all just, for some reason, accepted (feel free to add more!):

they all live in the Avengers Tower and have their own custom rooms/floors designed by tony

clint in the vents

thor loves poptarts and coffee and all the food in general 

movie nights!

taco/pizza/sushi/etc dinners where one of them is assigned to wash the dishes afterwards

bruce does yoga and can cook all kinds of cuisines

natasha cleaning and sharpening her knives

steve struggling with the Internet

tony rarely sleeps, he’s always in his lab creating new suits and equipment for the team. coffee is his main source of sustenance until steve or bruce convince him to sleep and eat something pls

steve, in his downtime, draws draws draws. bonus points if he does it in the workshop while tony is working

tony and bruce Sciencing Out

steve is the momma hen, tony the dad (or vice-versa tbh)

nick fury/coulson/maria hill act as the Avengers’ publicists

clint/coulson (ok y’all i read some of those fics AND THEY WERE CUTE OK DONT @ ME) 

loki pops up every now and again pretty much as a glorified magical prankster

bruce loves tea and is always brewing that matcha 

clintasha

team teaches steve and thor about modern life and pop culture

natasha is the sage and constant source of wisdom 

thor always speaks IN! A! BOOMING! VOICE!

“what really happened in budapest” 

rhodey and pepper also make appearances. and in the latter part of that era, sam and bucky

sleepovers in the living room! where they sleep all huddled together!! :(((

If you’re European, in a couple of weeks you will be denied any and all access to fandom contents on Tumblr and everywhere else on the internet. Here’s why.

On June, 20th the JURI of European Parliament approved of the articles 11 and 13 of the new Copyright Law. These articles are also known as the “Link Tax” and the “Censorship Machines” articles.

Articles 13 in particular forces every internet platform to filter all the contents we upload online, ending once and for all the fandom culture. Which means you won’t be able to upload any type of fandom works like fan arts, fan fictions, gif sets from your favourite films and series, edits, because it’s all copyrighted material. And you won’t also be able to share, enjoy or download other’s contents, because the use of links will be completely restricted.

But not everything’s lost yet. There’s another round of voting scheduled for the early days of July.

What you can do now to save our internet, is to share these informations with all of your family members and friends, and to ask to your MEP (the members of the European Parliament from your country) to vote NO at the next round, to vote against articles 11 and 13.

Here you can find more news and all the details to contact your MEP:

We have just a couple of weeks to stop this complete madness, don’t let them dictating the way we enjoy our internet.

Giveaway Contest: We’re giving away ten vintage paperback classics by Albert Camus, Franz Kafka, Kate Chopin, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ray Bradbury, and others. Won’t these look lovely on your shelf? :D To win these classics, you must: 1) be following macrolit on Tumblr (yes, we will check. :P), and 2) reblog this post. We will randomly choose a winner on March 5, at which time we’ll start a new giveaway. And yes, we’ll ship to any country. Easy, right? Good luck!

do you ever think about how fucking wild the premise of hetalia even is though like there are these (alarmingly) consistently attractive immortal beings that represent the soul and state of a country and they’re gifted with weird abilities like magic or hella strength and then they just spend their days having petty playground arguments with each other

Also, toilet paper in India is kinda ludicrous.

Time to go burn the entire country of India now.

basically, i think the general rule of thumb is: if someone REALLY wants the blood that’s inside of your body, and they’re like… a vampire, or a dracula, or some sort of mansquito, then that’s probably okay. a dracula and a mansquito are made for removing things like blood and swords from inside your body. that’s basically fine.

if something wants to get at your blood, and they’re, say, some kind of murdersaurus, or maybe a really big frog, that’s where the problems start to arise. a really frog is not made for removing blood, and your blood knows this, which is why it is so vehement about wanting to stay IN your body instead of coming out. 

unfortunately this will not deter a really big frog, because a really big frog is full of things like prizes, and value, and quite a lot of hatred, and it would REALLY rather like to replace any and all of those things with your blood, and basically by any means possible.

Letters from Kids to God

That was something that needed to be said.

some fanfics shouldn’t even be called fanfics that shit is classic ass literature
