Please we need Rontu and Egalt's reactions when they just...... let's say overhear the six (unfortunately minus Jay) talking about times before the Merge.....
And they keep mentioning "Sensei" and "Lloyd's Uncle", (in Lloyd's case, "My Uncle") and then finally they hear one of them say "Master Wu"
'Cause Egalt and Rontu probably know who and what Wu is, so the second they realize what and whose grandkid (and whose son) Lloyd is-
And they over hear them talking about how that old guy looked after them...
i love inside jokes. i love that they are a reminder of all the memories and experiences you share with the people you love. i love the confused stares of the people wondering how that led to all people around them laughing hysterically. i love explaining the events that led up to that joke to new people in the group and realizing it takes 5 minutes. i love realizing that a new inside joke has just been born. i love remembering old inside jokes. and i love that i can say 'algae' and everyone in my vicinity will start swaying like seeweed in a strong current.
So my sister and I have this running joke in which we call octopus and octopus-themed things “Bob” cause they’re my favorite animal and calling them Bob is funny to us. This extends to Pokémon as well.
My sister just texted me this with the caption “The Bobs are fighting again”
get your ingredients (these arent exact measurements im just guessing as to how much i use, use it as a guideline and eyeball it if you want)
6 slices of any bread will do, ive ranged from homemade baguets to the cheapest loaf at walmart (ill also use 3 hot dog buns for this so thats a good idea of how much)
2 tsp dried minced onion (aka dried onion flakes) a container like this has lasted me years:
1 tsp Italian seasoning
2 tsp garlic powder or granules, whichever you prefer
1 1/2 tsp of any salt, i like any "fancy" (kosher salt to me is fancy though so idk)
6 tbs soft butter (yk, one for each slice)
Butter the bread and mix the seasonings together. Sprinkle then evenly on the bread and broil on high until browned.
i think this is everything and if i remember anything
What are some of Clint and Natasha’s inside jokes?
Sorry 😅 I meant to answer this much earlier but I got sucked into a kdrama!
Two truths and a lie was a game they started early in their partnership before they felt truly comfortable with each other as a way to get to know each other without laying out all the cards.
“I grew up in the circus-“ “That’s a lie, Agent Barton.” “Is it, Agent Romanoff?”
Gradually as they grew more comfortable it shifted into a game of flirtation, of tasting previously drawn lines in the sand.
“I like my women obedient who do as they’re told and don’t cause me problems!” Natasha smiles. “Now, we both know that’s a lie, Clint.”
Now, after forging their partnership/relationship through blood, sweat and tears they have no need for such games, but it had become such a shorthand for them that they continue to play it. Mostly as a way to fuck with Phil or the rest of the team. Clint or Nat will voice their displeasure about something or another with a complete straight face but the other will know exactly what they mean. It’s another one of their many nonverbal languages between them.
“Mount Calamari!”
This one requires a bit of backstory. Strike Team Delta were in Japan on a kill order for an arms dealer with ties to some very unsavory folks. The mission itself had gone off without a hitch and even Clint was able to have some fun. A day before their extraction they were caught up in a freak storm, and were forced to hunker down in a tiny apartment above a sushi bar. For the next three days, Strike Team Delta maxed out their credit cards on fine sake and enough sushi to feed a small village. It was during one such night when Clint, blitzed out of his mind, confessed he had never been to Mount Fuji despite having been to the country multiple times. However, due to the slurring of his words, and the fact that his brain was literally swimming in sake and plum wine, he couldn’t remember the fucking name.
“Mont Foook-fuck-a-shhhh-me? Shhhhut up, ssstop laughing at me! Fuck what’s the name? Mount-something! Mount…mount…Mount Calamari!!”
Natasha nearly turned blue from laughing so hard. Clint had to physically shake her to get her into inhale. To this day they both say that this mission was by far the best they’ve ever had. Now when Clint or Nat want to share a little chuckle over the comms they’ll say, “Mount Calamari!!”
“Like a freshly shaved cat.”
Clint having grown up in the American Midwest, has some idioms that native-Russian Natasha has never heard of. The Red Room’s English language education didn’t factor in regional idioms, so when Clint throws out a really specific idiom Natasha gets a bit confused.
“I make you nervous?”
“Like a freshly shaved cat on a hot tin roof.”
“I don’t get it.”
“What?”
“Why would anyone shave a cat?”
“No, that’s not—“
“How would you even do that?”
So, now whenever Clint throws out an odd turn of phase here or there that Natasha doesn’t understand she’ll raise an eyebrow and ask, “Shaved cat?”
Her way of asking Clint for an explanation of the phrase later with the understanding that he’s being hyperbolic.

I don't know how to explain it, but it's peak brain wave connection to me
Like, no one will ever know of "Penguin Stroganoff", or "The rule of 2 Weeks Irrelevancy" or know of the context behind "The Flying Sweet Salmon" besides me, and that's magical
