Use Somebody - Kings of Leon

I’ve been roamin' around, always lookin' down at all I see

Painted faces fill the places I can't reach

You know that I could use somebody

You know that I could use somebody

Someone like you and all you know and how you speak

I know there’s loads of memes out there about Florence Welch being an immortal being who’s really hundreds of years old but guys I don’t think it’s a joke. Some of her lyrics make me feel like my brain just matured 5 years in 5 seconds and the only explanations I can think of are:

A. Immortal

B. Literal magic

Shake It Out- Florence + The Machine

Shake it out, shake it out

Shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa

Shake it out, shake it out

Shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa

And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back

So shake him off, oh whoa

Oh my god. This is awesome!

Did you know that between 1939 and 1941 the NYC Tax Administration and the Works Progress Administration collaborated to take photographs of nearly every building in all 5 boroughs of New York City? And that you can see these photos today thanks to NYC Municipal archiving? This is, obviously, amazing for hundreds of reasons. For the purposes of this post, it's fantastic because this is a very real address:

And when I put that address into the photo locator map, I get this:

Going from there, we can walk around the surrounding blocks via photographs. And if we assume that Steve and Bucky's pre-war apartment was fairly close to the Barnes', then these photos from 1939 to 1941 are a historically accurate trip to their neighborhood.

So, let's explore some pre-war Brooklyn. For your fic inspiration needs, your feelings, the general Stucky vibes, or just because:

160 State Street, bigger and without the map.

(If you ever feel like making the details of a fic incredibly historically accurate, there are so many real businesses to choose from in these photos.)

Like I said, there are pictures of nearly every building. This is just a small collection of the images I grabbed from the immediate blocks around 160 State. You can walk around the neighborhood in more detail, or anywhere else in 1939-1941 New York you want on the map I used.

As much as I love marvel movies, my brain is able to recognize things like THIS but the military propaganda continuously over shadows it. Like yes, the movies are critiques of one part of the system but when the parallel (and nearly equal negative) is being presented with the sun shining out of their ass, it’s difficult to absorb. But the iron man suit sounds scratch my brain so I’m willing to turn it off sometimes.

Iron Man 1 really said "the actual bad guy is the white capitalist who is selling arms under the table to both sides in order to extend the war and make as much money from it as possible," and Iron Man 2 really said "the white capitalist who gives a platform to people with bad intentions in order to make a buck is the reason the bad intentions have the opportunity to prosper and cause untold damage," and Iron Man 3 really said "the real terrorist is the white capitalist who will create and use fear to manipulate governments and the public in order to sell a product," and I really don't think enough people recognise this.

Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters - Elton John

While Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters

Sons of bankers, sons of lawyers

Turn around and say good morning to the night

For unless they see the sky

But they can't and that is why

They know not if it's dark outside or light

Here, There And Everywhere - The Beatles

I want her everywhere

And if she's beside me, I know I need never care

But to love her is to need her everywhere

Knowing that love is to share

Each one believing that love never dies

Watching her eyes and hoping I'm always there

DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE NEANDERTHAL CHILD WITH DOWN'S SYNDROME? Because they're all I've been thinking about when I'm sad for the past few days. Their existence makes me less sad.

Cold, Cold, Cold - Cage The Elephant

Doctor, can you help me 'cause I don't feel right?

Better make it fast before I change my mind

Doctor, can you help me 'cause I don't feel right?

Better make it fast, because there ain't much time

Well, it's cold, cold, cold, cold inside

Darker in the day than the dead of night

Cold, cold, cold, cold inside

Doctor, can you help me 'cause something don't feel right?

Something don't feel right

Something just ain't right
