I love fire. Don’t you? It is like…a living act of entropy. The ultimate weapon of destruction. Reminding us that in the end…everything eventually returns to the ash it came from. There is something reassuring about it.
Wonder Woman (2017) dir. Patty Jenkins
“[Would you let your daughter take up acting?] Oh, one-hundred percent I’d absolutely tell her not to. I would one-hundred-fifty million trillion percent be totally discouraging. Teenage years should be done privately. You should be going out and getting unbelievably drunk, getting into ridiculous situations, making mistakes. That’s what that time of life is about and we should do that privately. Saying that, I don’t regret it– I wouldn’t do my life any differently, but having lived through it…there was a very long time when interviewers were all: ‘well you’re a shit actress and you’re anorexic and people hate you’ which, for a teenager, is a very strange thing.”
The serum amplifies everything that is inside, so good becomes great. Bad becomes worse. This is why you were chosen. Because a strong man who has known power all his life may lose respect for that power, but a weak man knows the value of strenght. And knows compassion.
- Dr. Abraham Erskine

Steve Rogers’ battle experience and training make him an expert tactician and an excellent field commander, with his teammates frequently deferring to his orders in battle. Rogers’ reflexes and senses are extraordinarily keen. He has blended boxing, judo, karate, jujutsu, kickboxing, and gymnastics into his own unique fighting style and is a master of multiple martial arts. In canon, he is regarded by other skilled fighters as one of the best hand-to-hand combatants in the Marvel Universe.
the first time Harry sees professor McGonagall transform into a cat, an odd feeling of deja vu stays with him throughout the day. late in the evening, when he’s just drifting off to sleep, a sudden memory jerks him awake. Little Whinging. that’s where he’s seen the cat. in fact, he now remembers seeing her quite often - ever since he was old enough to be assigned small gardening tasks, she’s been around. he’s seen her lounging on the sun-warmed stone walks, quietly sitting in the shadows of the neatly trimmed hedges on Privet Drive, always watching him curiously. he used to think it was a neighbour’s cat - looking way too calm and well-groomed to be a stray…
…and then he abruptly sits up, eyes widening at the memory of that one time when he chased her and tried to pet her.
Clarice Lispector, The Complete Stories
I should have seen it. Fire consumes, but cold preserves. The Wall … but it is too late to go running back. The Stranger waits outside my door and will not be denied.

YOU KNOW WHY THIS HURTS SO MUCH!?
Because since he was a kid EVERY FUCKING PERSON IN HIS LIFE ABANDONED HIM. His father died, his mother ignored him, his step-father and step-brother were assholes and only want their money. And then he knew Raven, his beautiful sister. The moment when he knew he wasn’t alone. The one person he vowed to protect. Then he met all the boys, another mutants. And Erik. His friend, the person that HE helped to be the mutant he is now, his someone special…
AND GUESS WHAT? THEY FUCKING ABANDONED HIM TOO!
Now imagine Charles all alone, in THAT house, thinking all of this and tell me that he didn’t have all the reasons to punch Erik right in the face.
