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

– GROUP PROJECT

         (little-smartass)

– Neither of us bought the expensive textbook but there is only one copy in the library and it can’t leave the building

– This awesome professor only has one TA slot and we’re rivals

– I found your USB drive still in the computer

– I thought I was the only one who liked the waffle station in the cafeteria

– You keep reserving the good study room in the corner of the library with the windows

– We’re studying in the library and there are two people very obviously fucking in the stacks and we keep sharing embarrassed glances

– We’re both donating blood in the blood donation van in the quad to get out of the same class

– You decked me in the head while you were playing frisbee golf

– Wait, I actually have a competent lab partner?

– You’re the RA and you’re trying to bust me for having hermit crabs

– You’re baking cookies in the communal kitchen at 3am and I’m angry but also really hungry

– What are you doing at this table at the career fair

– Waiting for office hours

– I’ve been sitting in this seat all semester why did you decide to sit in it today

– Clearly we’re both really uncomfortable at this party

– You peed on my car. You were drunk. I was in the car. There will be hell to pay.

– We started racing up the three flights of stairs to class for some reason and we can’t stop

– You’re REALLY GOOD at using the right search terms for the academic databases and I’m on a deadline

For when you need to solve a problem by punching it a little…Or a lot.

made for justastormie for Carol Con (I wanted to draw you lovely fan art, but sadly my drawing skills lack, so music and cool mix art was the next best thing).

When the answers in my hands.  I’m gonna move you around.

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.
