I understand that a lot of people enjoy writing shipfics where they transplant characters into a college setting. Since some writers may not be in college, or may have graduated a long time ago, I thought I’d offer a helpful list of realistic college meet not-so-cute scenarios. Forget baristas. This is where it’s at.
– I’m really passionate about this cause and I will give you this flier if I have to shove it down your throat
– vicious battle over the only left handed desk in the room
– my roommate’s boyfriend is staying over so can I please sleep on your floor
– it’s pouring and my final paper is in my backpack so I guess we’re stuck under this tiny awning together. do you think they’d deliver pizza here
– hey I have to photograph someone for class will you be my model
– hey I have to take someone’s blood pressure for class will you be my victim
– variations of the above
– I know I keep coming to the cookie shop and for some reason it’s always your shift but don’t you dare judge me I need these for my sanity
– all our friends are drunk
– it’s 3 am and I’m still in the library studying for finals and I’m losing my grip on reality and I think I just saw a ghost
– we’re the only two people in this club. what is this club even for
– humans vs zombies (see you can still have your zombie AU, best of both worlds)
– we’re the only people who ever talk in discussions it’s awful
For when you need to solve a problem by punching it a little…Or a lot.

WIRED just posted this video of the Russos breaking down each hero in Avengers: Infinity War:
Here’s what they said about Tony Stark:
“Tony Stark is Iron Man. I think in a lot of ways he is the heart and soul of the Marvel Universe.” – Joe Russo
“Tony Stark’s powers are fascinating because they basically come from his mind. They come from his scientific knowledge, his brilliance, his intelligence, and his sort of aspirations. It allows you to sort of track a journey in his character and watch him evolve and sort of better himself through the use of these powers.” – Anthony Russo
“He’s a fascinating character. He’s a character we love because he’s eminently flawed. And we like characters that are challenging and that express their humanity. And I think Tony Stark does that as well as any of the characters. He started off as a narcissitic alcoholic and grew into a hero, which I think makes him eminently relatable, and why he signifies what the Marvel Universe stands for – that notion of character first and heroes are defined through the choices that they make.” – Joe Russo
“He has one of the most exciting power sets of any of the characters.” – Anthony Russo
“He’s a character we love because he’s eminently flawed. And we like characters that are challenging and that express their humanity.”
Friendly reminder that morally vanilla characters that tick all the boxes on Tumblr’s purity tests and have zero flaws are actually boring as hell.
