Friendly reminder that Doctor John Watson had no one. He returned from the war ill and newly disabled. He had nowhere to turn at his most vunerable moments and drifted without purpose within his new, alien life.

Friendly reminder that Sherlock Holmes had no one. He was different, no one understood him. He had been battling addiction alone for years. His only chance at survival in a world he was ill-suited for was to carve out his own niche.

Friendly reminder that they met each other when each of them desperatly needed someone. Friendly reminder that Holmes was instantly open with Watson, and Watson was instantly smitten. Friendly reminder that Holmes provided Watson with a mystery, a distraction that Watson desperatly needed. Friendly reminder that Watson showered Holmes in praise when he was so unused to it. Friendly reminder that Holmes let Watson write about his life, and Watson helped him through crippling drug addiction.

They're both broken men who begin to heal in the presence of each other. They built their lives around each other, encouraged each other, comforted each other. If they hadn't met, their lives would have been worse for it.

okay but Steve showing up on Natasha’s door on the anniversary that Bucky went back under. And she’s supposed to be in the wind, and he knows that he’s putting her in danger by coming, but dammit, Steve needs her. Sam is his best friend, but Natasha will always understand him in a way that Sam just doesn’t, and that’s okay.

Natasha opens the door and sweeps him into a hug without a word, just lets Steve, this massive titan of a man, weep into her shoulder like a child. And finally, when the tears subside for the moment, she takes his hand and they go to the couch and sit in silence. Natasha never tries to make smalltalk, or try to fill the silence and Steve is just so grateful. 

He stays with her that night, and while he catches a few hours of sleep, she texts T’Challa (if you don’t think they stay in touch you can fight me) and already tries to arrange for Steve to have access to Bucky whenever he’s ready

You know that Chris Fleming line that goes "Call yourself a community organizer even though you're not on speaking terms with your roommates"?

I honestly think every leftist who talks about the "revolution" like Christians talk about the rapture needs to spend a year trying to organize their workplace. Anyone who sincerely talks about building a movement so vast and all-encompassing that it overwhelms all existing power structures needs the dose of humility that comes with realizing they can't even build a movement to get people paid better at a badly run AMC Theaters where everyone already hates the manager.

It IS true that being on here gives you a tumblr accent. This morning my mother asked me something and i replied "i don't know i've never heard these words in that order" and she nearly choked laughing. It wasn't even that funny

#here's the thing. it only works with adults who aren't online that much #i work with teens who are well aware that i'm on tumblr #i think they're on tumblr too #and we just converse while their other classmates look on like we're insane #but yea when i first started uni and much fewer people on tumblr #tumblr speak basically gave me a strange 'humour' #tumblr #kewed
