@deltapuppossibly my favourite scene from anything ever
ok what the hell is the x files
This video is the reason I started watching the x files
- Steve, Bucky, and Thor chilling after a battle, sharing some of Thor’s special brew because they’re the only ones who can handle it.
- Thor setting the hammer on a table and grinning at Steve, Care for another try?
- Steve shrugging good-naturedly and taking hold of the handle. Sure, why not.
- Thor watching nervously while pretending not to be nervous.
- Steve budging the hammer.
- Thor LOLing.
- It would seem that you are still simply unworthy, Captain.
- Bucky snorting, tossing back the rest of his drink, and stepping up next to Steve. Are you kidding me? Move aside, Rogers.
- Bucky grabbing the handle with his metal arm and pulling and pulling and glaring and looking to Steve.
- Give me a hand.
- That’s not how it works, Buck.
- Just get over here, ya punk.
- Steve grabbing hold just above Bucky’s clenched fist.
- Thor LOLing in the background.
- Bucky and Steve getting ready, Steve beginning with On the count of 3. 1, 2, 3–
- And the hammer lifts off the table so easily that the two stumble back, shocked, hands still clasped one above the other.
- Silence.
- Bucky and Steve hold the hammer in the air and look at Thor in unison.
- Thor stares wide-eyed.
- Well, he begins after a few more moments, … if there are no pictures, it never happened.
- Bucky yelling for Nat or Sam to get their butts in the room to take a photo before Thor can call the hammer back to him and growling Don’t let go Steve for fuck’s sake DON’T LET GO–
ACCEPTED SO HARD.
NEITHER of them thinks that they are worthy, but they both believe that the other is so their faith in one another balances it out
crying males: “disney is destroying star wars with female leads”
“rogue one also has a female lead? ugh”
“great another mary sue”
me:
I don’t mind if Star Wars has a female lead, as the Star Wars franchise has always been home to strong female characters, I do care if she is another giant Mary Sue like Rey was. Rey was so Mary Sue that it became distracting to the movie. A character with no force training takes down a trained Sith Knight, she flies a freighter designed for two pilots with no help despite the fact she had never left the planet before, and she can also repair said ship with no problem because she had spent years salvaging parts off of a broken star destroyer? The only thing she didn’t do was have all of the male characters try to romance her at once and I thank the force for that small concession.
The only good new character in episode 7 was Finn. The rest of the characterization fell flat or was just used to make Rey ascend to Mary Suedom.
anakin built the worlds fastest pod racer and c3po when he was nine
the first time luke flew a spaceship he destroyed the fucking death star.
Kylo Ren: Not a Sith. Not fully trained. Also? Injured by a bowcaster that we’d seen could take out several stormtroopers at a time.
Rey: Literally spent all of her downtime flying a flight simulator to the point that it could no longer throw anything at her she couldn’t handle. For all kinds of ships. Nor did she solely scavenge star destroyers. She spent her entire life scavenging every imaginable wreck on Jakku, and her survival depended on her learning what ships had what parts and what was valuable. This, while competing with other scavengers, most of them working in teams.
Which meant she had to learn how to fight, or else she wouldn’t have gotten out of childhood.
Basically, Rey had way more in-canon reasoning to be as good as she was than Luke Skywalker did–who basically went from never flying much out of atmo to piloting an X-wing under combat conditions and rocking it… apparently just because of genetics and the Force. Who then went on, only half-trained, into a fight that even YODA thought he was going to die in, and survived, against a man literally birthed by the Force, trained as both a Jedi AND a Sith, with about 25 years of combat experience under his belt, whereas Luke had had a lightsaber for about 3 years. What a Mary Sue he was, huh?
Rey had more reason to be what she was than Anakin Skywalker, who accidentally wound up in a fighter and accidentally destroyed a droid ship. Anakin who was such a Mary Sue he was LITERALLY A VIRGIN BIRTH. How Mary Sue is THAT?
The creators, in short, HAD TO GIVE REASONS for every single thing Rey knew how to do, because of assholes like this person, who would take any special skill she had as proof that she was a “Mary Sue” just because she was a female character. No one bothered to give those reasons to Luke or Anakin. Because they’re the hero. OF COURSE they can do the impossible. But Rey? Jesus, what a Mary Sue.
Reblogged for excellent commentary.
(I’d thought the Rey-hating twerp up there was like sixteen, in which case I’d cut them some slack, but nope turns out they’re in their 40s.)
On top of all that, with a single exception, all of Rey’s extraordinary feats are stuff we explicitly see folks with no Force training do in the original trilogy.
Pulling a lightsabre to her hand? Luke did it before he ever met Yoda. Granted, Luke had a visibly harder time of it, but as he was concussed and suffering from mild hypothermia at the time, he jolly well should have.
Firing ranged weapons with uncanny accuracy? Luke again, in his famous trench run - and again, he was untrained at the time.
Resisting mental manipulation? Freaking Jabba the Hutt pulled that one off, and not only is he not trained as a Force-user, as far as we know he’s not even Force sensitive.
(Yes, the EU tries to wave that last one away by asserting that all members of Jabba’s species are naturally immune to mind control, but come on - that’s the same EU lore that insists that Rodians are literally a culture of bounty hunters because the single Rodian we see on-screen is a bounty hunter.)
Of course, there is one exception - one feat of Force manipulation that we’ve never seen an untrained wielder pull off before: Jedi mind tricking the First Order storm trooper. You know, a brainwashed child soldier conditioned nearly from birth to display reflexive and unthinking obedience to authority - the writers could scarcely have given her an easier target.
In sum, the stunts Rey pulls off are entirely within the demonstrable capabilities of an untrained Force user. You’d think these jokers had never seen the original films!

Fake geek boys keep revealing themselves.
And of course I’m talking about Drarry,
So Harry was sorted into Slytherin, right? And immediately Draco and Harry become friends, and this is before he’s out so everyone thinks of him as a girl.
I don’t know what his dead-name would be, it’s not important.
Harry likes Draco because he’s smart and interesting and funny and kind of an asshole.
Draco likes Harry because he’s nice and so NOT an asshole but somehow he still has this amazing sarcastic streak that surprises him everytime it slips out.
Harry figures out he’s a boy around second year, and of course he would never tell shitty abusive Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia and Dudley.
But he HAS to tell SOMEONE.
So the first person he tells is Draco, even though he’s worried that maybe Draco won’t want to be his friend anymore, because his family is so snobby and rich and particular.
And Draco is quiet for a while.
And Harry is terrified, because he doesn’t know anyone at Hogwarts that well and he really likes Draco and considers him to be his best friend.
And finally he just says;
“Why the bloody hell does it matter whether you’re a boy or a girl?”
And Harry is astonished, and he blushes, and sort of shrugs, because he’s still unsure.
Draco looks at him.
“It doesn’t matter. At all. I don’t care.”
Harry nods.
“Um, you’re the only one who knows,”
“I thought as much.”
“I just…I don’t know,”
“Well? What are you going to call yourself? I mean you can’t go around being known as (..) if you’re going to be proper bloke!”
Harry blinks at him.
“Well, I was thinking, about uh- Harry maybe?”
Draco snorts because that’s kind of a ridiculous name.
“If you’re so sure.”
“I think I am. Harry James Potter. Yeah. I think that sounds nice.”
Draco mumbles something.
“What was that?”
“I SAID IT SOUNDS BLOODY WELL NICE ARE YOU DEAF POTTER?!!!!!!!”
And so it begins.
And of course, after Harry comes out at school, Draco is constantly correcting and sneering at people who get his name and pronouns wrong, because he’s obsessed with being right and this is right up his ally.
“The Girl Who-”
“I’LL HAVE YOU KNOW that he’s the bloody boy you lived you utter arse”
-
“(DEADNAME) POTTER YOU’RE WANTED IN DUMBLEDORE’S OFFICE!”
“IT”S HARRY POTTER YOU FOOLS YOU’VE BEEN TOLD THOUSANDS OF TIMES!”
-
“(DEADNAME) Potter?”
“IT’S HARRY POTTER IT’S CROSSED OFF ON THE AUDIENCE FOR A REASON! AREN’T YOU A PROFESSOR? CAN YOU NOT READ?”
-
And when everyone expects Harry to start using voice altering potions and such, and he doesn’t want to, Draco is the first to defend him.
“Did you plebeians EVER CONSIDER that it’s HIS BODY and he can do WHATEVER HE WANTS WITH IT!!!”
-
Harry loves him so much for it, because it’s so uncomfortable to correct people and it makes him so anxious sometimes. You never know what kind of pricks are out there.
-
And Harry and Draco just grow closer and closer as the years go on. But Harry’s oblivious as hell and Draco just doesn’t understand his feelings.
So it takes an 8th year party where they have a drunken make-out session that literally EVERYONE is expecting before they figure things out.
And since they’re so close, everything just falls into place.
And Draco Malfoy does not become a deatheater, because he’s too busy protecting his boyfriend from transphobic idiots, and he figures that The Dark Lord is probably transphobic too, and he just can’t deal with that.
If that means he stays at school for a few holidays, that’s fine with him, because Harry stays back too.
Harry Potter Headcannon Time!
- Draco is nicer to Harry when they first meet, and they end up becoming friends.
- Harry ends up being friends with Pansy, Blaise, Vince (Crabbe) Greg (Goyle) and Theo as well.
- Harry is sorted into Gryffindor and meet Ron and Hermione, who disapprove of Harry’s slytherin friends.
- Harry doesn’t care.
- Harry eats breakfast with the Slytherins and all other meals with the Gryffindors
- Every Friday night they all get together in the Slytherin common room for games and what not (whatever teenage wizards do in their spare time)
- Draco and Harry are especially close
- And Lucius violently disproves
- But Narsisca is kind and is rather fond of Harry
- (Kind of like a laid back version of Molly Weasley)
- And then at the end of fourth year when Voldemort comes back, the slytherins completely cut themselves away from Harry so their parents can’t use them as a means of harming Harry or getting information.
- Harry realizes this after a while of wondering what he did wrong
- But the Slytherins always find ways of slipping him information that’s helpful
- And then sixth year comes along, and Draco is given the task to kill Dumbledore.
- None of the other slytherins know this
- Harry doesn’t know it
- And that time in the bathroom, instead of Draco throwing a hex at Harry when he sees him, Harry just waltzes right in and pulls him into a hug
- And they stay like that for hours, a hugging heap on the floor, Draco crying into Harry’s shoulder, never saying a word
- After that they go back to not talking to eachother
- Then during the battle of hogwarts, The trio are being followed by three nasty deatheaters, and Draco, Blaise and Vince are trailing them, ready to step in if anything gets ugly
- They go into the room of requirement
- Draco, Blaise and Vince follow them in
- They end up saving the trios lives by killing one of the Death Eaters
- But the other one sets the place on fire
- Harry insists on saving the other three: “They didn’t save our lives just to die five minutes later”
- After Harry is “killed” by Voldemort, and Lucius and Narsica are trying to get Draco to come over with the other Death Eaters, Draco refuses.
- As does Greg, Blaise, Pansy and Theo.
- Voldemort goes to cast the killing curse on Draco
- But that’s when Harry squirms out of Hagrid’s arms
- And Voldemort misses, instead hitting someone else
- After the war, Harry and the Slytherins reconcile, and in eighth year, resume their friday night get togethers
- And this time Ron and Hermione join in
- Harry and Draco end up becoming very close friends
- And one day they go out on a date in Hogsmede
- And literally all their friends are cheering because “It’s about fucking time”
