Crt-6 - Easy-As-Evil

if you are going to do historical inaccuracy, then go big. Just take it to a whole ‘nother level.

I mean like Knight’s Tale “chanting Queen at the jousting tournament ‘foxy lady’” levels of anachronism. Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters with Hansel injecting himself with insulin and Gretel wielding a multiple-shot crossbow levels of anachronism. Go for Blazing Saddles, Blackadder, Jack of All Trades, Connecticut Yankee levels of anachronism

you either have to play by the rules or throw out the book.

Injury Type: Water Burns

Everyone gets this at least once in their life. The water’s too hot and it burns the skin. However, I always find it hard to remember the feeling and effect of it, so as I write this with a burned hand let’s go over this.

CAUSES: Really, REALLY hot water. Anything from horribly-temperatured water in high school bathrooms to the kind that’s boiled in a pot for spaghetti. Something that’s good to know is that it sometimes doesn’t register as scalding hot in your brain, and it’s not until the burn sets in that you realize that oh, I fucked up.

THE BURN AT THE START: Depending the source, it can be big, small, severe, miniscule. Overly hot tap water may just create a barely-visible patch of sensitive on the back of your hand. Spilling spaghetti water on your leg may cause the whole thing to go red, maybe even develop blisters, and in the wild scenario that the body part is submerged in scalding water, a hospital visit and extensive skin treatment is definitely in order. Sometimes at first it just feels funny, like Oh Geez What The Hell Did I Bruise My Hand Or Something. But then after a few minutes/hours it’s Oh God I Fucked Up.

THE BURN IN 2 DAYS: For small-scale burns, it takes around 2-3 days to notice anything’s off. All liquid coming in contact with the burn makes it ache, and any water that isn’t freezing hurts, and even then it still stings a little. The skin gets rough and slightly brittle in some spots. Big-time burns, however, form almost immediately, and within a few hours the skin turns red and splatter-like, and hurt a LOT. They resemble rashes, if you could pick up a can of paint that looks like a rash and throw it on someone. After a day (or two?) blisters may begin to form.

THE BURN IN A WEEK: Small-scale burns become more invisible than ever, but skin begins to flake off the burn as dry skin. Scratching it hurts, and the cold brings a strange aching sensation to the area. Large burns are similar, but on a MUCH larger, er, scale. Cold hurts, dry skin is everywhere (and it’s very nasty), it’s somewhat disfiguring with how red it is, and god forbid if anything touches it. Large burns can alternatively take a toll on mental health through making someone afraid to look at the spot because the injury has made it look so… unpleasing.

EXTRA HURTING: All I can think of is popping any blisters that form from large-scale burns. It’s incredibly painful, like a stab, and also very disgusting as well as making it harder to heal, but yet fairly easy to do.

HEALING: Small-scales generally heal on their own. It takes about three weeks to get the skin completely back to normal, maybe even more. Large-scale burns, however, may take anywhere from three weeks to a year, depending on how severe the burn is.

EXTRA: Characters probably won’t reveal smaller-scale burns since they’re invisible, and think nobody will believe that they are aching/in pain. Even if it’s covering their entire body and bringing a world of constant ache, they probably won’t say anything. Large-scale burns are obviously much more obvious and look like a few other injuries/sicknesses- as harmless as poison ivy and as deadly as a number of sicknesses caused by ticks- so a burn could be misdiagnosed, but caretakers will certainly be in shambles trying to patch it up.

Sam Wilson is so slept on in the Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom

I know, I know, Sam is just a retired soldier with a set of wings and guns that Steve only seems to fully rely on. He definitely would lose a fight to even someone like Natasha, who doesn’t have serum, viking magic and/or full body armor.

I had that argument with my male cousin about how useful Sam is in the MCU team lineup. That he appears more sidekick than the first African-American superhero, which he is. T'Challa is the first Black/African superhero and Sam Wilson is the first African-American superhero. But don’t get me wrong I love me some Bucky. However, Sam Wilson is the underdog of the MCU and its fandom and I have a really soft spot for the underdogs of any fandom.

I marvel at the fact he is willing to go toe to toe with any villians the Avengers face, despite him only having wings, Redwing and guns. Someone reminded me Sam had only a gun when he first faced off with Hydra before he strapped on his wings to drop kick the Winter Soldier. The fact that he could do all that when he was a retired citizen; his only real training regiment he had before joining the team was jogging around the Mall before dawn after his retirement and he was able to handle his own against Hydra and the like.

I also, dont care much for the double-standards. I mean Bucky could render Steve Roger’s into an invalid and Steve and the fandom would defend his actions. But if Sam drinks the rest of the milk and Bucky wanted cereal that day, the MCU fandom going to give my guy Sam all the smoke.

Lol, the fact that Sam was hated on so hard just for not pulling up his seat cause he still ain’t forgive Bucky for nearly killing him three damn times.

Bruh, if you tried to kill me and totaled both my car and wings and all I do is not give you some legroom, you should be happy. Especially when Bucky still had kill commands in his head.

Lol, people keep forgetting Sam left his perfectly good 9 to 5 job with benefits at the Veterans Affairs to chase Bucky ass all across the world to give Steve some peace of mind. Bucky crew also need to stop hating on Sam’s legit concerns and need to don the Captain Petty cape every once in a while. Cause even though Sam is petty. He never tries to handle Bucky with kid gloves. He gives Bucky the same energy and short of telling him no and shut up, has been nothing but nice to the guy. I bet soon their on screen dynamics will mirror the flirty love/hate friendship of the actors who play them Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan.

I also marvel at the fact that Sam Wilson is the only Avenger in Infinity War pt. 1, who managed to mend the most bridges after Civil War broke up our lovable boy band. I know, I know, what about Bruce and Thor. They werent involved in Civil War and so didnt need to choose sides and sadly hurt feelings. So they dont count. Sam was in the thick of it though.

Think about it… He was one of the first Avengers that turned down signing the Accords. It was his decision, he didnt just blindly follow Cap like some happy go lucky sidekick everyone labels him as. Rhodey, Natasha and Vision got into a heated debate on the validity of signing the Accords with him.

But Sam never signed up to be at the call of some entity ; especially after Steve came running to him after the curruptness of SHEILD. Sam had a life before he decided to help Steve and if he had wanted to be a soldier he’d have join Nick Fury instead of volunteering to help Steve find Bucky.

Sam knew Steve needed him more and the fact that Steve felt at ease leaving his second best friend to search for his first should mean something. Steve could have relied on anyone to help him with Bucky or come to Peggy’s funeral and he choose to take Sam because guy is loyal and Steve’s ride or die. Sam was actually the only one to ask if Steve was happy and if he ever thought of being something other than Captain America.

Sam might not be the strongest, but he definitely the bridge/mediator among the group. Tony went to Sam in Civil War at the end not just cause he knew where Bucky and Steve were going cause they could have told the other team before the fight in the airport; it was also because Tony knew Sam would at least hear him out instead of throwing insults like Scott did when they were in lockup. Sam could have said no simply because, despite fighting through PTSD and trying to save Rhodey, Tony blasted Sam when he couldnt dave him. But he didnt because Sam was the bigger man and knew Tony was in his feelings.

If Sam had been hit by the blast that Tony issued to Vision to make Sam ‘a glider’ he would have died. If that blast crippled Rhodey and he had full-bodied armor than someone with goggles, wings and light armor would have died if he hadn’t air rolled out of the way.

But Sam tried to save Rhodey cause at the end of the day they are friends. He apologized to Tony because he knows first hand how it feels to try to rescue a friend and risk lose them because you just weren’t fast enough. It happened with Riley and he never begrudge Steve for getting his best friend back 'despite the years and brainwashing’ after a fall that should have killed him. He is not like that.

Sam and Rhodey gave one of the warmest greetings letting you know clearly there was no hard feelings and that they were friends.

Vision and Sam clearly bear no ill will towards each other despite being initally on opposing sides and Vision nearly killing Sam. Sam even volunteered to support an injured Vision and was part of the rescue mission to save Vision.

Sam was the one who recruited Scott Lang. One of the same people that fought and beat him in Ant-Man, he was humble enough to see his worth and recruit him.

Bucky who have fought each other on sight because Bucky keep breaking Sam’s shit and trying to kill him, are even cool. By Infinity War, despite the frosty glare when Steve greets Bucky, Bucky and Sam have been in sync and have fought along side each other in both Civil War and Infinity Wars

Despite all the mistakes Sam and his friends have made since Civil War, Sam is the most, warm-hearted, forgiving, genuine guy on the team. He is someone who will stay loyal to you, but will voice his opinion when need be. Sam is still good with all the members of Team Captain America and not only is he still good with them, he is clearly friends with a lot of Team Iron Man in Infinity War when it is clear some can’t let bygones be bygones even with a threat like Thanos afoot.

So stop sleeping on my guy Sam Wilson. 'Cause everyone on the Avengers team serves a purpose and who wouldn’t want a ride or die in their pocket?

all the tips I found for drawing a fantasy map are like :) “here’s a strategy to draw the land masses! here’s how to plot islands!” :) and that’s wonderful and I love them all but ??? how? do y'all decide where to put cities/mountains/forests/towns I have my map and my land but I’m throwing darts to decide where the Main Citadel where the Action Takes Place is

Listening to your religious co-workers murmur about angels and miracles, is always a little awkward for you. They had asked you before, if you believed in angels. You had hesitantly agreed, and to your relief they had asked nothing else on the subject, though they seemed surprised that someone like you, believed in angels. 

The mental image of their reactions if you told them the truth though, are enough to have you giggling a bit. You had gotten a few odd looks for that, not that such a thing would be anything new, but luckily they had shuffled off a few moments later.

The idea of telling them that you had once smashed a vase over an angels head when they had appeared in your bedroom, or even the fact that they stuck around and have taken to calling you “Little Miracle”, is more than a little amusing. You’re pretty sure they wouldn’t take such “blasphemy” well.

I’m not an expert but I like hands a lot so hopefully some of this was helpful!
