can we all just take a minute to imagine steve rogers’ face the first time he heard someone say “motherfucker” casually

(via xuunies)

If I were being serious, I’d post information that would go way beyond various bullshit that people normally say on the internet. If I weren’t being serious, I’d post a picture of my hairy chest.

…

I don’t have a picture of my hairy chest, so pretend those three dots are a picture of my hairy chest.

1. What is the character’s name? Why is that their name, both IC and OOC? Who named them? If the character has any nicknames, what are they, and why do they have them? Does the character have any titles? If so, what are they, and how were they earned?

Kev: “Kevin J. Marone. Why… because my parents named me that, fuckwad! …Did you or did you not just hear me? Kev. Titles? Well, there was one time when I got called jimmy the Wrench. James is my middle name, and I got called “the Wrench” by a couple of gangbangers who saw I was good at fixing shit and not getting killed. Before I know it there’s a couple of guys want to hire me as a consultant — leaders, not rank-and-file shits. So I gave ‘em the name Jimmy, and they called me Jimmy the Wrench.”

KevOOC: Kevin James Marone, he’s named that because I wanted to give him a tough guy name that sounded at least a little Italian. He’s called “Kev” because he’s been called that forever.

Mike: “Michael Clayton Feldspar. My father liked the name Michael, and my mother always wanted a son named Clayton. Father had wanted me to be a girl, so that I would be his little Michelle, but I was born a boy. So they named me Michael. I don’t have nicknames, but I do have a title. ‘The Package Man’. They called me that because I delivered my victims’ remains in boxes, and the victims themselves were tied up with rope. Even the ones I didn’t mail to the police. I sort of embraced it, you might say. Even wrote a book. ‘Confessions of a Frustrated Delivery Boy’.”

MikeOOC: Michael Clayton Feldspar was given that name because I was trying to think of a name for a crazy person. He’s called “Mike” currently because his voice above is different from his voice currently. His current voice would be a bit harder to understand, because it’s even less attached to reality.

Daniel: “Daniel. I was named for my great-grandfather. My mother named me; mothers name their infants in our tribe. I have neither nicknames nor titles.”

DanielOOC: …I chose Daniel because it’s a leader-y name. Daniel will eventually get a last name. He’s one of the tribe leaders in Wasteland Nomads.

Sophia: “Sophia. I was named for a word that my grandfather loved: philosophy. My mother named me, just like Daniel’s mother named him. I have no titles.”

SophiaOOC: Sophia is Daniel’s girlfriend and a font of wisdom (which, hey, is what the “sophia” root of philosophy means). So she’s also in Wasteland Nomads.

Lisa: “Lisa. Don’t know why mom named me that. No titles.”

LisaOOC: Lisa… I’m still not sure why I named her Lisa. I just did. Another Wasteland Nomad.

Ion: “Marie Wright, aka Ion. Marie because my parents like the name Marie (and because my mom is a chemist), and Ion because I have control over electricity, magnetism, and other energy-related things; Ion sounded like a pretty cool name for that. My parents named me Marie; I picked the name Ion. A couple of the guys I know like to call me Righty because of my last name, and the guy I had a crush on at one point calls me Marty because he thinks he has a sense of humor (spoiler alert: he doesn’t). I don’t have any titles, although I suppose I am kind of the leader of the Triumphant Trio, if we have such a thing as a leader. I know I’m the biggest enemy of one of the biggest twits on the planet.”

IonOOC: I chose Ion because all the other electricity-related names either are already taken or sound more like men than women. At least, all the ones I could think of. Ion is totally within her rights to claim the top spot in the Triumphant Trio, and she’s also within her rights to claim that her nemesis, Theon, is a massive egotistical twit. Ion is one of my Superheroes.

Golem: “Michael Feldstein, AKA Golem. Why Michael? Because my cousin was already Gavriel. My dad named me Michael. I picked the name Golem because of the whole ‘Golem of Prague’ idea. I’m a Jewish mutant, a rabbi made the Golem of Prague, I’m super strong and super tough, the golem was strong and tough… it’s a good fit. A lot of people call me Mike, which I guess isn’t too bad, although my nemesis calls me Jew-boy. And they ask me why I hate her guts. …Well, OK, that and how she’s trying to boost that creep Theon’s god complex.”

GolemOOC: I wanted Michael to have a Jewish-sounding name. Feldstein came to me like nothing at all, but picking a first name was tough as BALLS. As for why Golem, it’s because there’s already superheroes and supervillains named after other big monsters and constructs of myth, such as Colossus and the Juggernaut and I think there’s a Behemoth and a Titan and all these other things, so Golem was left. Golem is one of my superheroes, and also a member of the Triumphant Trio.

Neuron: “Good evening. My name is Lisa Skinner, alias Neuron. I can tell what you’re thinking. You’re thinking that I picked the name Neuron because I read minds, and yes, that’s one part of it. But I don’t just read minds. I can take control of them, alter them, bend them to my will. I have to admit, it’s an addicting power. My parents named me Lisa after my mother’s favorite cartoon character. I don’t have many nicknames; the only ones I can think of are ‘Brains McGee’ and any variation thereon, courtesy of Marie, and ‘Clever girl’, which I think Mnemenosyne just likes saying. Gargantua’s started calling me that too, though… which is a bit disappointing. I was hoping the nickname would stay with my nemesis, not spread to Golem’s.”

NeuronOOC: The third member of the Triumphant Trio, Neuron got that name as I was trying to think of brain related names. She is, of course, one of my superheroes.

You’ve been pushed ‘round all your life. You’ve been pushed ‘round by your mother, and your sister, and your brother. And if you was married… you’d be pushed ‘round by your wife. But in your future, the you I see… is exactly the man you always wanted to be.

Why “friendzoning” is bullshit and does not exist!

legendaryarmor:

So, you’re interested in this girl, right? Man, she’s a cutie! You’re super nice to her, and hey, maybe you’re even spending a little money on her - maybe you’re spending a lot of money on her! She’s gonna love it. But oh no - she either has a significant other already, or gets one all of a sudden, leaving you in the dust! What the fuck?? You are so “”friendzoned”“, bro.

You know why that’s not true? Because someone isn’t obligated to return your romantic attraction just because you’ve been kind to them or lauded them with gifts and affection. What if one of your friends did this to you, and you had absolutely no interest in them at all? How would you feel if they grew bitter and angry about this, as if your friendship wasn’t good enough? Wouldn’t that make you uncomfortable - maybe even a little pissed off? I bet it would!

People aren’t machines that you feed currency into until they’re ready to date you. That’s not how the world works. If you get turned down by someone you’re interested in, “despite” you being nice and spending your time and money on them, it doesn’t mean they’re a shitty person. Nobody is obligated to date anyone, ever.

Being rejected sucks, especially when you really like someone. I know, it’s happened to me several times! It’s not the end of the world, though, and holding a grudge or feeling slighted over it isn’t going to change the situation - it’s just going to make you look like kind of an asshole.

So ease your foot off the gas of your ragemachine, think about the situation a little. Reflect on it. Appreciate the friendship you have and assess your priorities and actions. Above all else, please don’t act like a douche. The other person probably doesn’t deserve it.

This guy has never been friendzoned. He’s never known what it feels like to be best friends with the girl of his dreams while watching her waste her time with some guy who doesn’t give a shit about her. He’s never heard the girl he loves tell him, “We should just be friends,” and then valuing you’re friendship with that girl so much, that you just cry yourself to sleep some nights instead of ruining the friendship. He’s never had a girl he truly loves want to be friends with him so badly and send mix signals and then have to look at that twinkle in her eye and the gleam of her smile. He’s never felt the world align while he’s with the girl he thinks about everyday knowing that he will never have her while knowing he will always be there for her because he is ensnared in her perfection.

This guy just got an ask to catch up over lunch accepted. This guy has asked girls out on dates before only to be turned down, and he’s accepted it and moved on. This guy is just hoping that this turns out better, but if not, hey, at least he got to reconnect with a friend who he’d thought moved somewhere far away.
