When I was in school, one of my art teachers used to say “this world needs more creators. There’s more than enough destroyers in the world today.”

Just a reminder, if you create anything–art, writing, food, machines, ideas, equations, knits, tools, gardens–the world needs you.

[worlyworlyworlywalld]

Yeah? Well my fourth grade teacher said “there is no use for imagination in the real world”!

[thesnadger]

Your fourth grade teacher was a tool.

Guillermo del Toro & his Bleak House. (x)

This is a religious place for me. See, to me, everything that surrounds us is not a collection, it’s relics. It’s relics or it’s talismans. Whatever you want to call them, they have a spiritual hold of who I am essentially.

Doc and Cap by Jesse Toves

[cheskamouse]

I accept this head canon.

Update.

2015, Cap is still working out the Avengers, him an Tony have worked out a dynamic that actually works between them. but some new oddity has cropped up, they call in expert and in walks Dr.Jones… who has not aged.

Cap, stunned: “indiana?!… how?”

Indi, glad to see his old drinking buddy, “You know the grail myth?.. yea, not a myth.”

I would soooooooo read/watch a crossover story about Captain America and Indiana Jones teaming up for an adventure together :D

[jadenite]

I keep getting stuck on the idea that they might not get anything done because they’d try to one-up each other in terms of on-the-fly plans and how many ridiculous ways they can defeat nazis.

[cakeisnotpie]

the more things change….

[furlockhound]

The people making these memes obviously have never seen some of the weird ass shit in old-timey photos. A quick Google and:

Humans are basically a giant jumble of weirdos that try to belittle other weirdos…

[furlockhound]

That’s the most accurate and poignant description of human nature I’ve ever read

[actuallykylekallgren]

So we’re going to ignore the fact that the OP used Tsar Nicholas II of Russia as “your grandfather?”

This is so important - we can’t compare trauma experiences, it is all valid. Even two people who go through the same trauma can react differently.

[marauders4evr]

Now this is a metaphor I get.

i wish birds brought ME presents

[baelgrave]

No, but think about this.

The crows she feeds obviously have their own little lives. They go about their business, and they spot *pretty thing* or /unique thing/ in question. What gets me is that the *first* thing on their minds as recipient of this thing is the little girl that feeds them.

They spot a thing, and immediately must think, “that nice girl with delicious foodstuffs must have this to show my gratitude.”

[kedreeva]

It’s actually more than that, though, if you read the articles or watch the videos. This has taken place over YEARS- it started with these birds following this little girl around because she was a messy eater and it has turned into a ritual for the family. They have a water station and food stations where they daily set out things for these birds and sometimes (but not always), these birds leave ‘payment’ behind for the food.

BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE

These birds are not just taking food and leaving shinies. These birds are watching over this family now. Their lives have become involved. These crows are keeping track of this girl and her mother even when they are out of the yard. How do we know?

One of them is a photographer, and one day while she was photographing some stuff on a bridge, she dropped her camera’s lenscap over the edge. There was no way she could get it back, so she left it. When she got home, the lenscap was sitting on the edge of one of the feeding stations, waiting for her.

Not only were the birds following and watching over her, they were smart enough to realize she dropped an Important Thing and cared enough to bring it back to her.

[baelgrave]

I could not have asked for more

[enchanted-dystopia]

I wish someone loved me like a crow.

• The perk of speaking different languages: knowing many words
• The misfortune of speaking different languages: having the perfect word that means exactly what you want to say, but it not being in the right language
