Whenever Steve pisses Tony off he hacks into SHIELD databases/ Steve’s government records and legally changes his last name to ‘Rodgers’
When Tony pisses Steve off he makes sure to buy all of the latest Hammer Tech and then uses it blatantly in Tony’s tower for the next week
This is great but I’m just imagining JARVIS absolutely refusing to get into a HammerTech phone because ‘you two humans can be dumbasses in love but trust me HUMMER is N O T an AI bitch I wanna get in touch with again. No, don’t push me Steven.’
My favourite advice is – teach when you know and learn when you don’t. It came from a janitor of my high school and I hope she knows that her words have improved my life exponentially.
I’m a teacher. Today I was covering for a grade 9 science class. Decent kids, if a bit rowdy, and didn’t want to do their work. Wtv, it was textbook work. Not the point.
1 girl (reminder that these kids are, like, 14/15) was doodling bust portraits (head & shoulders) in an art book. I had a squiz and asked her if they were her characters. She said they were and excitedly told me she had so many characters for this one story of hers. I laughed about how I wished I could draw mine, and moved on.
Later in the class, I hear her enthusiastically telling her friend all about her main OC – a gay kitsune prince with a tragic past. It was so, pure, classic Deviant Art: my first OC. And you know what? I loved it. I was just sitting there half overhearing, smiling to myself and glad that her friend was engaging and interested in her story and characters.
This is a girl who will become a creator. She will draw and write and imagine, get better and better. She’ll probably move past this stage and start making more nuanced characters (she was already lamenting she didn’t have enough girl OCs). But this is where she started. This is where so many of us started. I had a tiger catgirl, goth witch/sorceress OC in high school. I found my original design for her recently. Look what I create now.
Let kids be kids. Let them explore and invent and go wild and be cliche and make overpowered OCs. Let them have their anthropomorphic animal OCs. Let them try everything before they settle into maturity.
It’s a miniaturized arc reactor. I got a big one powering my factory at home. But what could it generate? If my math is right, and it always is, three gigajoules per second. That could run your heart for 50 lifetimes. Yeah. Or something big for 15 minutes.
