I know what it’s like to lose. To feel so desperately that you’re right, yet to fail nonetheless. As lightning turns the legs to jelly. I ask you, to what end? Dread it. Run from it. Destiny arrives all the same. And now, it’s here. Or should I say, I am.
You know, I’m 1500 years old. I’ve killed twice as many enemies as that. And every one of them would have rather killed me than not succeeded. I’m only alive because fate wants me alive. Thanos is just the latest of a long line of bastards, and he’ll be the latest to feel my vengeance - fate wills it so.
Mad Max Fury Road (2015) Dir. George Miller
It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn’t. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something.
mythology family ♥︎ hades for @nature-and-starlight
hades was the ancient greek god of the underworld and the name eventually came to also describe the home of the dead as well. he was the oldest male child of cronus and rhea. Hades and his brothers zeus and poseidon defeated their father and the titans to end their reign, claiming rulership over the cosmos. they agreed to split their rule with zeus becoming god of the skies, poseidon god of the sea and hades god of the underworld.
hades was married to persephone, the daughter of demeter, whom he obtained through deception after abducting her to the underworld and giving her the forbidden fruit pomegranate, forcing her to remain in the underworld with him for one third of each year.

I just like people. They always seem to be nice.

I n e e d you to be the Ant-Man
All my life, I dreamed of a day… a moment… when you got what you deserved. And I was always so disappointed. But, now… You kill, and torture, and you call it mercy. The Universe has judged you. You asked it for a prize and and it told you, no. You failed. And do you wanna know why? Because you love nothing. No one.
Marvel meme ► Favourite female characters (2/5) ↳ Natasha Romanoff (Black Widow) — Before I worked for SHIELD, I uh…well, I made a name for myself. I have a very specific skillset. I didn’t care who I used it for, or on. I got on SHIELD’s radar in a bad way. Agent Barton was sent to kill me, he made a different call.
