The fandom when Anya is nice to jimmy and compliments/butters him up after the crash: obviously this is a fawn response. She doesn’t actually think these things about jimmy, she is simply trying to protect herself against a volatile, unstable person by placating him
The fandom when curly tries to placate jimmy by telling Jimmy he’d fix things, after being very nervous about jimmy’s anger and reaction when talking to Anya right beforehand and his heart racing so hard on the way to confront jimmy that he’s likely on the verge of a panic or anxiety attack: hmm. Obviously everything curly is saying to jimmy here is completely genuine and not motivated by anything. He obviously doesn’t care about the fact jimmy raped Anya and only cares about helping jimmy at the detriment to Anya. He’s a rape apologist. There could literally be no other potential explanation for why curly is saying the things he is saying right now. Let’s take everything curly is saying here completely at face value and not analyze anything else about Curly’s behavior or the rest of the scene.
[seriously why are people only capable of recognizing the fawn response in Anya and not Curly]
#to be clear the people who say Anya had a fawn response are RIGHT!#but since curly is a man clearly there’s no way he could be afraid of jimmy#listen. I’m not trying to say curly is completely flawless#and I get why people get mad at curly for what he said to Jimmy there after finding out what jimmy did#because yeah out of context someone telling a rapist stuff like “I’ll fix things” “we’ll get through this together” “you’ve gotten through#difficult times before” in response to said rapist fearing his life will be ruined after his actions are exposed#is deplorable#but you can’t just put things in a vacuum#it was a very difficult situation curly was in. regarding of how he confronts jimmy he’s going to be stuck on a ship with him for 8 months#and before u say “he should’ve just killed Jimmy!” think for a moment.#permanently ending someone’s life is traumatic for the vast majority of people#and this is someone he’s known for years and years so it would be extra difficult#also like. would Anya even want jimmy to be murdered? sure she’d feel safer but I feel like she’d have complicated feelings about it#idk like. it’s a very tricky situation#can’t even report Jimmy to HR because that would result in everyone’s pay getting docked.#which would just hurt Anya since she has no savings#curly mouthwashing#fandom critical#would it felt been more therapeutic for fans if curly instead violently confronted jimmy and beat him up for what he did to Anya? yes#but would that have actually helped Anya? no#if anything it would’ve likely made things worse because Jimmy could’ve just taken his anger out on her afterwards#because they’re on a tiny ship together. only way they could have eliminated the threat to her would be like. tying jimmy up for months#or shoving him in a cryptopod. but knowing pony express I bet improper use of cryptopods would result in docking everyone’s pay#and it would’ve been serviously hard to keep jimmy tied up for months. it’s not like there’s a prison cell on the ship#the crew is already stretched thin do u think they could have someone constantly watch him for 8 months??#because that’s likely what would need to happen if they just kept him tied up#there aren’t any good rooms to lock him in#yes it would’ve been better for everyone in the end if Jimmy was tied up or shoved in a cryptopod or killed#but how was curly supposed to know that. hindsight is 20/20#yes curly should’ve taken the threat jimmy posed more seriously. and handled the situation better. but there were no easy solutions and—

Hey Neighbor
@daydream-terminus steve in the white tank top. u know.
Look. It wasn’t like Tony was paid to notice his neighbors. If it was up to him, he would know the names, the number of the apartment in which they lived, and maybe a hobby or something. But no. Rhodey was raised to be overly friendly to everyone, and he passed it on to Tony.
So Tony had a tray of brownies that Pepper had made a day ago (and they weren’t for him, so Tony was pissed) and knocking on the new neighbor’s door. He’s praying that the person won’t answer because they’re not home and Tony can eat the brownies in his own apartment and cry at three a.m. but eventually lie and say that he gave the brownies to the neighbor.
The door opens.
And then Tony stopped hoping that the new neighbor wasn’t home.
His tank top is stretched tight over a body that looks almost unreal, and Tony snaps his eyes up to meet stormy, blue-gray eyes.
“Hello,” Tony manages. God, who says “hello” as a greeting besides suburban moms? He automatically wants to die. “I’m Tony. I live in number 63 down the hall. Nice to meet you. Here are some brownies.”
“I’m, uh, Steve,” the guy says. He looks like a Steve. Tony never thought he would appreciate someone looking like a Steve. “I’m in number 42. Thank you so much, these look delicious.” (So did Steve.)
“Let me know if you need anything, okay?” Tony asks. “I’m the apartment repairman, mainly because the actual one can’t be bothered to show up until nine at night, which is such an awkward time. I can’t have him know I watch Grace & Frankie on Thursdays.” Oh god oh god oh god Steve can’t know that either. “So, um, I’ll catch you later, Steve. Bye!”
“Thank you!” Steve calls after him. “Nice to meet you, Tony!”
Rhodey doesn’t believe someone named “Steve” can be attractive. Tony whines and says that Steve is attractive, and it’s not like someone who voluntarily goes by Jim can be attractive either.
“Shut up,” Rhodey says. “You don’t call me Jim.”
“I call you Rhodey. Also an unfuckable name.”
“So you admit, you can’t screw a guy named Steve!”
“RHODEY I’M GONNA KILL YOU!”
It ends up with Tony locked outside of his own apartment because Rhodey is petty. Natasha is already at her dancing class, so Tony can’t knock on her door and pull puppy dog eyes to be let in. She would murder Rhodey if Tony asked, he’s pretty sure.
Instead, New Neighbor Steve sees him.
“Locked out?” He asks, lips curved into a smile. (He shouldn’t be this cute.) Tony nods.
“My friend--Rhodey--thought that he was right in an argument. He was wrong. I’m the one who was right.”
Steve lets out a little smirk. He got hotter??? How??? “Oh really? What were you arguing about?”
His mind blanks.
“Um, the application of Freudian psychology to the banking system?” This is such bullshit. This is the most bullshittiest bullshit that Tony has ever come up with on the spot. He should’ve actually coughed up the money that Natasha wanted to teach him how to lie better.
“Wouldn’t know how to argue that myself,” Steve said with a shrug. “You wanna be let back into your apartment?”
“He’ll get bored of being alone in ten minutes,” Tony says with a shrug. Steve just grins.
“Well, you wanna know how to break into an apartment?”
“How do you know how to do that? You look like you’d be a contestant on Jeopardy.” Steve rolls his eyes.
“I do not. And, before moving here, I lived in Brooklyn.” He said this as if it was supposed to explain everything.
“Oh what, you’re gonna break down the door with kombucha and plaid shirts with penny tees? I feel so much better,” Tony says. Steve rolls his eyes.
“No, that means I know how to move around. I lived in the not-so-great part of Brooklyn. Before all the gentrification crap. And my best friend and I used to come close to getting arrested. Point is, I have my credit card.”
He jimmies the lock and swings the door open. Rhodey actually screams.
“You started watching Grace & Frankie without me?!” Tony yells. “You bitch!”
“It wasn’t like you were supposed to know!” Rhodey yells back. “Who helped you?”
“Steve!” Rhodey stops for a moment, looking Steve up and down.
“Okay Tony. Argument won.” Tony nods.
“You won an argument based on Freud’s psychology based on me?” Steve asks, smirking.
“Um, yes!” Tony declares. “Yes, I did. Because Rhodey here unfairly yet accurately judged your appearance as an art major-type guy.”
“You don’t even know what I do for a living,” Steve says with a laugh. “You’re right, but still.”
“You wrote down notes on your hand,” Tony says. “About buying art supplies.” Steve looks down and laughs.
“Yeah, I guess so. I forgot to do that, actually. Goodnight Tony. Nice to meet you, um, Rhodey?”
“Call me ‘Jim.’ Tony here is an asshole who thinks that calling me ‘Rhodey’ is a better alternative.” Steve laughs and shuts the door. Rhodey turns to Tony.
“Oh my god, I can’t believe you found a hot Steve. No one ever finds hot Steves.” Tony shrugs, then pauses Netflix.
“We’re starting from the beginning of the show, and you can’t talk or look at your phone. You have to rewatch every single second of it. Either that, or I make you watch Black Mirror.”
“If you make me watch that show, I will cut you out of my life. I’ll be in that ‘San Junipero’ episode. That was good. I was scared, but it was good.” Tony nods, grabbing a bag of chips.
Steve works out on Wednesdays. Tony is home on Wednesdays making repairs to the apartment building and probably throwing off his work schedule, but it wasn’t like Tony necessarily cared about a proper eating or sleeping schedule, so he wasn’t exactly ruining his life just yet.
Tony runs into Steve in the hallway, and he’s wearing the tank top. Tony nearly drops his wrench set. “Hey,” Tony says casually. “What’re you up to?”
“Going to the gym down the street,” Steve says with a smile. Tony nods. “What about you?”
“Clint Barton,” Tony says automatically. Then starts to realize. “I mean, I’m not doing him, god no. Ew. Gross. That was not something I wished to convey, not something I would ever do, he’s the absolute worst, anyone would be better than him, but--I’m fixing his sink. I don’t know what he did to it, but it’s clogged.” Steve laughs.
“Good luck, Tony. I’ll see you soon.” Tony nods.
Steve comes back as soon as Tony has exited Clint’s apartment building probably looking like death froze over because a.) Clint has coffee that’s so good it should be illegal, and Tony drank five cups of it, and b.) Clint keeps his apartment at a nice and hot 84 degrees, which, you know, is just great. So Tony has his sweatshirt stripped off and his stupid t-shirt is sweaty and ugh Tony hates laundry day, and--
Hot damn. Steve in the tank top. The notably thinner white tank top. Steve waves to Tony.
“Great gym.”
“Um, yeah,” Tony says. “Great gym, the best. Wow. How was it?”
“Good,” Steve said. “Natasha said to tell you hello. Also that you have to see her on Friday to talk about something. She hasn’t decided what yet. You okay?”
“Caffeinated,” Tony says simply. “Clint has coffee that could strip paint and I enjoy every second of drinking it. Also, he keeps his house above the eighties.” Steve winces.
“Who is he, a ninety year old?”
“Maybe,” Tony says. He can’t look Steve in the eye.
“Well, I better hit the showers,” Steve says. “See you later!”
“Yeah, you do that,” Tony says.
He’s so screwed.
#hey neighbor au#fun fact this started bc i saw a pic of chris evans#from catws in a white tank top#U KNOW WHICH ONE#u know exactly which one#also rhodey and tony are me#but as two people

The Best Heartbreak Songs: 49 Broken Heart Songs
Being heart broken, feeling heartbreak—the terms seems like clichés until you experience heartbreak for yourself. After the actual experience, the words are oddly comforting. You feel lost and confused, then you read something, watch something, talk to a friend, or yes, listen to a song and suddenly you have words for how you feel. Suddenly you understand what happened to you.
Chances are, you found this article because you’re experiencing a heartbreak and are looking for people who have been there before and can relate to how you feel. Lyrics like, “As painful as this thing has been, I just can’t be with no one else,” may sound confusing and contradictory… unless, that is, you’re been there before. Then they make perfect, painful sense. And it may be easy to mock lyrics from older songs like, “Don’t you remember, you told me you loved me baby? You said you’d be coming back this way again baby. Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby.” But then again, if you’ve experienced that particular type of deception, it may be something you can relate to.
