That evening the men were practicing archery on the green. Bill Door had carefully ensured a local reputation as the worst bowman in the entire history of toxophily; it had never occurred to anyone that putting arrows through the hats of bystanders behind him must logically take a lot more skill than merely sending them through a quite large target a mere fifty yards away.
It was amazing how many friends you could make by being bad at things, provided you were bad enough to be funny.
Terry Pratchett, Reaper Man

Undercover ghost x mafia wife DONT DO THIS TO ME LO. DONT PLANT THAT IDEA IN MY HEAD.
Don’t imagine reader was sold off incredibly young to her current husband who’s twice her age as part of a deal. Don’t picture her living life surrounded by greys until her husband new right hand man comes into her life. Don’t imagine ghost forced to listen to you cry as your husband has his way with you.
Don’t imagine Simon trying to get you to flip, to become a snitch, he’ll keep you safe. He can put your husband away, you just have to trust him.
NO BECAUSE KAT THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING
I might be really messed up but I also kinda want her husband to care so little of her that he’s literally using her as a part of his business deals. sharing her with his clients—including ghost.
it’s supposed to be just for the night to sweeten the deal between your husband and undercover!ghost who is posing as a weapons dealer for the mission, but something about the way ghost looks at you feels different.
he doesn’t make you feel used like the other men do. the way he touches you is caring: the way he talks to you gentle.
it all feels safe, and good. it’s all something you have never known before, so is it really your fault that mister bennett is suddenly all you can think about?
I’M JUST SAYING.

“My God, I thought you were someone to rely on. Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on.” is such a wild line to put in a Christmas song to be honest!

honestly one of my biggest disappointments with the black widow movie was how they tried to make kiddo!natasha into this, like, ~quirky~ blue-haired kid with a fairly normal childhood before they had to go back to the red room. when like. aren't you guys interested in a natasha who has never once known a normal life and yet can parody it perfectly? don't you remember the horrified delight of seeing the red room girls learning american english from copying snow white? why are you so insistent on giving natasha "real parents" and an attachment to yelena based on a childhood in OHIO when you can instead talk about natasha living in ohio as just as much of an undercover agent as her "parents". don't you see that the best horror of natasha pointing a gun at her handlers is not that she's holding a gun but that she knows how to use it???

Whenever a Jedi tries to hide under a hood it’s the equivalent of the Avengers hiding by wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses
Did Ahsoka really think this would work?
She learned from the best I guess
Tell me these aren't the same vibes...
actually
wait
no
it's the equivalent of this...

love how ludger could withstand mental attacks from luitpold/ruipold not because his mental defense was strong, but its because there was literally nothing luitpold could do to guilt trip or break ludger further since ludger had always believed he himself was the worst/most guilty and also already made peace with the fact that he would eventually have to pay for it with his own life after he accomplishes all his goals. if nothing else, those mental attacks only strengthened his resolve to push forward and dig his grave deeper.
