✶ she likes summer, i prefer her / caleb x reader

if you asked caleb what his favorite season was, he'd answer “summer. i like it when it's warm and sunny out.”

and it's not exactly a lie — summer is his favorite season. the skies are clear, and freedom feels more attainable when he gazes at the blue sky above him. 

however, the real reason why he likes summer is because you like the season for him. you're prancing around, dragging him out and linking your arms with his, all while going, "caleb, caleb! look, it's us!" as you point at two matching apple phone charms from a street vendor. 

caleb likes how your smile gets brighter when the warm season comes around, when you beg him to help you bring out your summer clothes. the sundresses and shorts previously stashed away come out, and you always put on a small modeling show for him. gorgeous shades of yellows and oranges, flowy fabric, and sunhats, all complimenting your features, making you look like the very definition of beauty to caleb. you always look beautiful, but he especially adores the glow that comes with june's arrival.

he likes summer because he gets to see you at the beach, your sunkissed skin warm against his own. you fuss over him, applying sunscreen to his back while tracing constellations on his ever more defined freckles. the giggles when he swipes sunscreen over your nose and the little face you make when you kiss his cheek, only to taste sunscreen on your lips. caleb likes the picnics and the bouquets you make together while being caressed by a warm breeze, the scent of daisies and bougainvilleas overtaking his senses, but all he can think of is the image of you with the peony he tucked behind your ear.

but if caleb had to pick a single reason why his favorite season is summer, it's because you remind him that his existence is worth it. every june 13th, without fail, you're by his side. waking up early to make breakfast for him with your signature apple drink, bringing it over to him and kissing his lips earnestly with a soft and affectionate whisper of "happy birthday, caleb." he allows himself to be pampered by you, basking in your presence and the love you exude, your eyes focused on his. the quiet evening with sparklers in hand and a perpetual smile on your face, while you tell him all about the gift you handpicked for him, and it feels like the universe has stopped for the two of you.

when you cup his face between your hands and press kisses to every part of his face, all while listing off reasons why you love him, finishing it up with a "never leave me, caleb" — he wishes for summer to be eternal.

caleb likes summer, but he prefers you.

watching the falcon and the winter soldier is great because I don’t even have to try and see it in a gay way. they’re rolling the through a grassy field on top of eachother and literally getting couples therapy with their legs slotted together.

Stucky fic writers were truly on something else because earlier this week I remembered the line “they can bury us in one coffin to save on lumber” and thought it was a lyric from like a fucking hoizer song or something along those lines only to go get a drink at 2am in my kitchen and be hit over the head with the reminder it’s actually from a Stucky Fic I read in 2017.

I'm sure all the Bucky stans know this but there are a lot of us who don't so I need to say this and then shout it from the roof tops for the rest of you

During World War 2 in America the enlisted troops serial number started with 12 and the drafted troops started with 32

Bucky's serial number is 32557038 (yes I do know that off by heart)

His number starts with 32...

32.

Our boy was drafted, he didn't enlist and juding by the year he was probably drafted due to the Service and Enlistment Act

But did not choose to go to war, he was forced.

Just let that sink in

Because I cannot get over the fact that James Barnes never wanted to go to war, and Steve Rogers desperately wanted to be fit enough to enlist had swapped places

That parallel is insane

And I cannot believe that Marvel has never adressed the fact that Bucky went through all the shit he did because he was drafted. He didn't go in knowing the risks because he didn't choose to become a soldier, that choice was made for him, and thanks to the choice his life was a living hell since then

One time when out on a date night a homeless man asked my betrothed and I for money to buy orange juice. I said, “I’m sorry, I don’t have cash, but I do have two oranges in my pocket if you’d like them?”

Both the homeless man and my betrothed stared at me. I pulled out two satsumas and he shook his head in perplexity. We walked on and my betrothed was like, “Why do you just have oranges in your pocket?” And I kinda shrugged like, you never know when you want a little orange treat.

We then realized we were walking the wrong way to the restaurant and as we passed the homeless man on the way back he said, “Actually if you don’t mind…” and I didn’t so I handed him my oranges.

one thing i love about the void room sequence in thunderbolts* is how yelena, ava, bucky, alexei, and walker are all able to free themselves from their chambers because they’ve had to save themselves over and over again, and because of that experience, they’re all able to help save bob and each other from their different traumas.

yelena comforts bob the same way she wishes she had been comforted and protected as a child. ava could not save her father—but she did save alexei and yelena. walker and alexei are the ones to fight bob’s father—atoning, in a way, for their own mistakes. when yelena, who’s still struggling with her alcoholism, gets knocked out by the manifestation of bob’s addiction, bucky steps in—bucky, who knows what it’s like to wish you could numb the pain.

and in the end, when bob is fighting the void—all the thunderbolts know what it’s like to hate yourself for your past, but the fact that it’s specifically walker and bucky who hold bob’s arms back to keep him from literally beating himself up is so perfect.

they’re all uniquely equipped to help each other in different ways with different traumas, and i think that’s a really beautiful depiction of community.

I'm doing so great, guys.

Steve being the one to steal the car in catws is one of my favourite things simply because there's no way Natasha "The Black Widow" Romanoff doesn't know how to steal a car.

Which to me implies that she pretended to not know how, or at least waited just a bit to see if Steve would do it.

Simply to know if he could, figure him out.

Was arguing yesterday with a coworker that canada's system of health was better than the US and my coworker was whining his wife had to wait to see a Dr, so maybe they'll just fly home to Syria so she can do whatever she needs done there. To which I said yeah, and in the US you either have the money to see a Dr or you die I'm not sure that's an improvement (never mind almost no one can just fly to another country for healthcare, that's an honestly wildly privileged option to even consider what the fuck) and he says oh, you can buy insurance for 500$ a month. To which my first response was ??? That's a HUGE amount of money (and it should be noted I DOUBT I pay 6 grand JUST in healthcare via my taxes every year, the US does not have an improved system they just kill poor people)

Apparently that wasn't worth arguing with but like buddy I'm sorry but if you have the money to say "oh you can pay 500$ a month to not die and also maybe I'll fly to another country for healthcare" then your opinions are worth nothing when you can simply BUY life in a way most can't I cannot get over how apparently 500$ a month for insurance that WILL fo everything they can to avoid paying for the healthcare it's their JOB to cover us an improvement over wait times for free services. At least in Canada your waiting can pay off, in the US you're just waiting to die of your health complications, not to see a Dr to deal with them. Pay 500$ a month you'll be fine, so pay or die just like I said.

rewatching tfatws and omg i'd forgotten the sheer amount of rage that filled my body when the new captain america was announced

[crumb-crumblet-s-crumbington]

he loves him... ill make a drawing where ethan is being nicer... its like a really affectionate big dog that ur dad did not want but now he really likes it but he still acts like he doesnt care and hes all flippant about it LOL

whenever i draw wintersberg i cant help but draw it in a joking way because i feel like the dynamic has so much potential of "im so tired i want to go home vs i want you" 😭 karl loves him very much and ethan loves him too, he wouldnt tolerate karl if he didnt...

karl loves him very very much and ethan appreciates that but it makes him flustered alot , in any wintersberg au i draw karl (obviously) did not propose to use rosemary as a fighter jet so i think ethan would also just have a very deep appreciation for karl helping him get her back

i think karls love language is a lot more physical and hed make ethan lots of little trinkets and make rosemary toys as well and ethan would think its really sweet, hes also a very touchy guy and always likes to be holding at least some part of ethan LOL

i actually dont think heisenberg would actually say the words "i love you", i think its really difficult for him but he defiently DOES love him

ethans love language is with words and acts of service (sacrficie ?) i think ethan would be very willing to do anything he can for karl if he knew it was very important to him, he throws around "i love you" very often and i think at first karl would try and play it off like "i know you do" but after awhile he doesnt skip around it and accepts it 😭

they support/ depend on each other because after re8 i dont think ethan would be in the best place and i dont think karl would be able to manage on his own considering hes been living in a little village with barely any technology for 100 years

they have each other to lean on...

whilw i dont think their relationship would be perfect (karl doesnt ever really say sorry, ethan has major trust issues) it defiently has potential and i think they could be very cute together...

i like the concept of ethan helping karl adapt to modern life and i think its very sweet

with how often sam catches bucky there is going to be a time where he stops associating falling with his fall from the train and instead associates it with safety and comfort because now he knows sam is always going to be there to catch him

Drake Siblings

Have I read this prompt somewhere or was this a fever dream from my bored mind.

What if, now hear me out.

What if we bring up Dana Winters-Drake (whose confirmed to at least be alive in the DC verse but no one knows where she actually is)

What if instead of when she had a mental breakdown and getting committed to an Bludhaven clinc she wandered away before anyone noticed and by the time Tim or anyone did notice a lot of stuff started happening at once in both Gotham and Bludhaven (Steph dying, The Bludhaven crisis, etc etc)

Tim still tries to find her though but even with best resources it was like she just disappeared into the wilderness and the stress of trying to handle more and more problems get worse.

So when out of the blue, a couple of years later, he gets a call from an unknown number. On his private, only for friends and family, phone and when he answers he meet with a young girls voice on the other end.

A very young, maybe six or seven, girl who informs him about his apparently half-brother Danny Drake-Fenton. And how she loves Danny so, so, so much but knows her home is dangerous for him to be in.

Tim is stunned and before he could question her, she says Danny is Dana and Jack's baby and that her parents had adopted him years ago and put Dana's stuff that the hospital had away for him to look at when he was older but she just had to fight off their lunch from eating her brother and she knows he needs a better place to live and so she snooped around and found Dana's diary and that she had to unscramble the nonsense Dana wrote and found Tim's number with the words 'tell him about his brother Danny' hidden in it. And-

But before she could keep rambling she hears Danny screaming "JAZZY THE MILK WENT BAD AGAIN AND HISSED AT ME!"

Tim is left with silence after hearing Jazz yell to Danny to lock the fridge and step out of the kitchen as she gets the bat.
