So I was out to eat and this child(maybe 3 years old) in the booth next to us started crying loudly. The mom tried to calm him down but he started to go into tantrum mode and fussed even more. So she picked him up and walked out of the restaurant to a bench outside our window. We could hear her ask him, “look at me, what’s upsetting you?” To which he responded with more crying. So she says, “Well you’re clearly overwhelmed, so we’re going to sit out here and take a break until you can compose yourself and tell me what’s wrong.” Which is exactly what happened after a couple minutes. Anyways I just think it’s so good to speak to your children in a logical, respectful manner instead of shushing them and leaving them to deal with their stress alone.

ADOPTION FUN FACT
If you’re adopted internationally into the United States, BY adoption LAWS you’re legally a citizen, but you still have to apply for documentation and if it’s not done by the age of 18 you have to pay over $500 and get a judge to reopen your adoption case.
Even More Fun Fact: No one actually tells adoptive families, this so many find out after they’re 18 when their kid needs to get a passport, wants to apply for financial aid, get certain jobs, vote or some other shit that requires proof of citizenship and now it’s too late because they’re 18 or over.
AND EVEN MORE FUN FACT! You can sometimes even be deported because you can be considered foreign-born, non-citizens!
Oh and they won’t accept adoption papers or a birth certificate as proof.
Adoption is FUN.

Now I really want to see Loki interact with Wanda, mainly being completely unimpressed by her.
*Assuming Loki ends up fighting alongside the Avengers in Infinity War*
Loki: *motioning to Wanda* Why is this one here?
Bruce: *quietly in the background* That’s what I keep asking!
Tony: *pats Bruce on the shoulder* Welcome to my world.
Loki: *to Thor* Didn’t you tell me she was fighting alongside Ultron? And working with that one bad organization? What’s it called…?
Bucky: HYDRA?
Loki: Yeah that’s it!
Tony: Well our amazing leader thought it be a great idea to add her to the team.
Bucky: But she worked with Hydra?!
Bruce: Willingly.
Bucky: WILLINGLY?!
Tony: *pats Bucky on the shoulder* Our dear friend Steve decided that her past actions could be overlooked.
Bucky: *to Steve* Are you serious?!
Steve: She’s not like that anymore! She’s good now like you Bucky-
Bucky: Like me?! She willingly joined Hydra, I didn’t!
Loki: Comparing your best friend to the witch? I expected better from you dear Captain.
Thor: Captain Rogers, you enlisted this woman onto our team even after what’s she done to us, to Dr. Banner?
Fury (because why the fuck not?): And her hand in creating Ultron?
Bucky: Dear God what did she do?
Bruce: Messed with all our heads causing me to lose control and Hulk out on a city full of innocent people, and triggering Tony’s PTSD which prompted him to take the scepter which eventually led to Ultron.
Tony: *to Bucky* And I’m sure you know from experience that having someone mess with your head is anything but fun.
Bucky: I can’t believe I’m hearing this.
Loki: Neither do I. I mean I’ve done some terrible things but I’ve lived long enough to understand accountability.
Thor: Loki is right. Why hasn’t she faced the consequences of her actions?
Steve: She’s just a kid!
Tony: Oh for god’s sake she’s 26 Rogers!
Bucky: Stevie I can’t believe this. *Leaves the room*
Steve: Bucky wait! *chases after him*
Bruce: *to Tony* I’m so sorry I left you to deal with this.
Tony: *sighs* It’s okay Brucie Bear, I wouldn’t want to be around her after everything either. Who can blame you for taking off?
Thor: Anthony I must also apologize for leaving so abruptly. I didn’t think the Captain would make such poor decisions.
Loki: Wow this is like one of those badly written television shows you Midgardians enjoy.

marvel: we decided to kill loki
me, and the rest of the fandom: i recognise the council has made a decision, but given that it’s a stupid-ass decision, i’ve elected to ignore it

its really funny how like, pikachu has been the obvious moneymaker for pokemon throughout its history, and they’ve tried to replicate this without success ever since. trying each gen to hit on that perfect mascot formula
and finally after a series of unsuccessful and generally unmemorable clumsy pikachu ripoffs, nintendo comes out with a pokemon… whose entire concept is boldfacedly, ‘clumsy pikachu ripoff’
and everyone fucking loves it
