Emily Vancamp as Sharon Carter in “Captain America: The Winter Soldier”

Here’s an example of what we call a “soft no”. Sharon turns down Steve’s offer in a way that’s meant not to insult him but never actually uses the word “no”.

Steve clearly gets the message, though, and importantly offers to leave her alone. Sharon’s comment afterwards gives him an opportunity to try again later, but he doesn’t press and respects her rejection of his company even though it’s probably hurt his feelings a bit.

Just in case you ever wonder “What would Captain America do?”; there you go.

never do something steve rogers wouldn’t do.

Unless it’s jumping out of a plane without a parachute, you probably shouldn’t do that

I just have to add – I’ve seen interviews with Marvel people where they say that this scene demonstrates that Cap’s awkward with women and doesn’t know how to ask women out on a date.  And it drives me crazy, because – as the OP says – Steve behaved perfectly here.  It was a very charming, nonthreatening offer, and he accepted her rejection with good grace.  You can’t help but feel that to Hollywood, the fact that she said no means he asked badly – which is exactly how I’d expect Hollywood to think, namely, the idea that men should keep pressing and pushing women until they say yes

au where bella just fucks with people. like, jessica asks her why she went out of town and why the cullens are suddenly back and she’s like “oh yeah i flew to italy to save edward from a bunch of evil vampires” and everyone is like “haha funny bella, but like, really what happened” and she just wiggles her eyebrows and moves on with her life

also

alice: *zones out while having a vision*

mike: haha hey you good fam?

alice: oh yeah i’m fine i just like, saw the future

mike: haha you’re hilarious

LIKE THEY COULD JUST SPIT THE TRUTH AND NO ONE WOULD BELIEVE THEM

imagine during eclipse someone dared to jokingly ask bella what went so wrong at her birthday party that made the entire cullen family up and leave town and she just deadpans “oh yeah jasper tried to kill me” and everyone just laughs and moves on with their lives i’m fucking screaming

“Bella what happened to your hand?”

“Let’s just say, I had a disagreement with a werewolf”

“lol you’re so weird”

good morning I just woke up obsessed with the idea of a movie filmed in the style of a true crime documentary except it’s in the Twilight universe and a bunch of completely ordinary humans are trying to figure out why Bella effectively disappeared after high school without knowing anything about vampires

let’s review the Facts of the Case as far as anyone who’s not in on the secret knows them

  • super normal teenage girl moves to small town
  • becomes obsessed with a guy who by all appearances is in a cult
  • the incident where they dramatically broke up and Bella tried to go back to Phoenix but Edward followed her and they got back together but also Bella’s leg got mysteriously broken
  • another dramatic breakup and this time the entire family skips town leaving Bella catatonically depressed
  • sudden trip to Italy??? and then the entire family comes back???
  • Whatever Happened In Eclipse I Don’t Remember 
  • Bella marries boyfriend of approx. a year and a half, goes away on an exotic vacation and immediately contracts a life threatening disease
  • is rarely seen in public again until her mysterious death, which if I’m remembering correctly is a thing?? because Bella was pretty sure her mom wouldn’t be able to handle the vampire thing and that they were going to have to fake a death which is!! fucked UP
  • also apparently the Cullens haven’t ever bothered with, like, changing their names, so if anyone goes poking around they’re easily going to discover a family of seven rich weirdos moving around various overcast cities together for at least a century 
  • tell me you wouldn’t watch this shit 

highlights:

  • generic Missing White Woman opening that rapidly spirals into interviews Bella’s hilarious tacky high school classmates talking shit about the Cullens (Mike Newton’s Time To Shine)
  • Charlie (who Knows) uncomfortably lying to the camera about how of course he’s Very Sad about all of this and misses his daughter a whole lot. the crew immediately begins speculating about Charlie’s involvement.
  • a few scenes shot in Italy. the voice over concludes that there are no clues to be found there while a Volturi member hovers very obviously in the background for the audience’s enjoyment 
  • testimonies about Carlisle’s character that end with the interviewee getting distracted thinking how hot he was, including Charlie 
  • a segment trying to figure out what the Fuck Jacob’s involvement is followed by a montage of werewolves slamming their front doors in the crew’s faces
  • a brief mention of the murder spree that happened in Seattle during Bella’s senior year but quickly shrugging it off as DEFINITELY unrelated to any of this 
  • trying to dig into where the Cullens lived before Forks and quickly realizing that None Of These Children Existed Before the Age of Seventeen
  • briefly toying with a kidnapping scenario before stumbling onto a record of the Cullens in some other town that’s JUST old enough to be inconsistent with the ages they were supposed to be in Forks
  • “wait I think all the kids were actually in their twenties, maybe?”
  • “wait what the fUCK?”

Reblogging again because I thought they changed the quote so I decided to look up the actual quote and it’s not fake that is very much the actual quote

A Ghost Story

by Pinuphottie

momolady:

Like the title says, this is a ghost story. I had such an amazing time bringing this story and the characters to life. I really hope you all enjoy it too even though it isn’t my usual fare.

   You’ve gone to live with your great-uncle Beauregard while you were attending school. He’s a reclusive man, but his generosity has paid for your tuition. As such, you’re going to live him, not just for the room and board, but because he’s elderly and needs help around the home. Ages ago, back when he was a young man, he had married one of the most brilliant opera stars to grace the stage. She died in a tragic fire one month into their marriage. Beauregard suffered disfiguring burns because of it, and it has made him a recluse.

   He is not short of money though. He’s a brilliant investment banker and has amassed a fortune for himself on top of his inheritance. His not only paid for your tuition, but his donations alone pay for the Grand Rose Opera House.

   You arrive by carriage at his home, no one comes to greet you. The driver helps you take your bags to the door and then leaves. You walk inside, and the place is as frigid as it is outside.

WE NEED YOUR HELP

One of Germany’s oldest forests is about to be destroyed for charcoal!

The Hambacher Forst is 12,000 years old and the oldest trees about 350 years old and is home to many animals and plants.

But now the energy company RWE wants to clear it to get charcoal for coal-fired Power stations.

There are 150 activists that try to save it but get brutally dispelled by 3500 policemen. 17 got arrested, many got hurt.

Please, sign the petition to stop the clearing!

https://aktion.campact.de/kohleaus/hambach-appell/teilnehmen?

https://www.change.org/p/hambacher-wald-retten-und-dich-das-klima-sch%C3%BCtzen

I’m sorry that it’s German, I hope it also works for those who don’t understand German or live in Germany.

It’s happening, it’s real, right now.

Another example of the police protecting business interests and not the interests of the public, or even the interests of our planet.

Please share this, sign the petitions, talk about it, it can’t go unheard or unseen.

Please help and share this!

Guys, yesterday they cleared over the half of the camp and treehouses. It was a long fight over years, but at least this is getting some more attention. I’m moved that this reached me over tumblr from people around the globe! Amazing! Keep spreading this!

What we can do in Germany is boycott RWE and sub-companies like Innogy. Check your electricity-providers if they’re in touch with RWE. Germany does not need any charcoal mining. Most of the electricity is being exported to other countries. Many people don’t know anything about that, but still are against the consequences. Talk to others! Here is a good article about this:

http://www.taz.de/Kommentar-RWE-und-der-Klimawandel/!5536858/

There are many policeman*women that are disproportionately

violent and treating the protesters like terrorists (even calling them that).

Keep protesting!

Here’s a very good and objective report about the activists and the treehouses, they choose to show to press and public, from last year:

What a relief it had been when she’d gotten over her misplaced infatuation. It used to be nearly impossible to escape her constant, ridiculous daydreams. I’d wished, at the time, that I could explain to her exactly what would have happened if my lips, and the teeth behind them, had gotten anywhere near her. That would have silenced those annoying fantasies. The thought of her reaction almost made me smile.
