Are you even a Throne of Glass fan if you didn’t scream when you first read this part??

The Latin in TRC bothered me so much

I recently had the series “The Raven Cycle” recommended to me, and while reading them, I noticed that sometimes the Latin translations were wrong, and it started bothering me a little. So I did the only rational thing and wrote some down, corrected it, and gave it a grade. Specifically, I focused on Ronan’s statements and translations because he’s supposed to be the top student in Latin. I’m going to say up front that I’m only in Latin 3 so far, but I’m pretty sure that my edits are correct. I’m also going to say that if I was teaching this class Ronan would not be passing based on his translations. He’d probably do really good on vocabulary tests though, I had to look up some of these words.

Lots of Latin under the cut.

And if you died… I feel like that’s on me.

There are really only two relationships in Tony’s life in which he’s been willing to assume a lower status and one’s with Pepper obviously, equal footing, and the other is with Cap. - Robert Downey Junior

Some of them had to share bed at Clint’s farm

steve: tony, i’m gonna need you to focus-

tony: and i needed you. 

this one single exchange in endgame is literally everything. 

tony saw this coming. he warned the team that another alien threat was imminent. inevitable. but they all dismissed him - steve dismissed him. 

the team didn’t think they needed to be prepared or have preventative measures in place; they’ll fight threats as they come and they’ll do it together. tony had warned them that that wasn’t enough; that they would lose. and steve was okay with that; “we will lose together.”

tony said he wanted to end the fight so that they could all go home and steve said that every time someone tries to stop a war before it starts innocent people die.

and then, the avengers were divided. steve left and so did the rest. they were no longer together like steve promised tony they would be. 

tony was left all alone. 

only tony remained an official avenger. 

only tony took the responsibility and weight of the entire world on his shoulders.

only tony was desperately preparing for a war that he alone knew was coming.

and then the war came, just as he predicted. 

and they lost, just as he said.

but were they together?

no.

tony lost alone. 

on an alien planet billions of miles away from earth - away from the team, away from steve - tony watched helplessly as his son-figure, a wizard, and the guardians all turned to dust around him, leaving him alone with a blue alien stranger.

and with zero promise of rescue, tony had accepted that his resting place would be amongst the stars. he closed his eyes and he was finally ready to rest.

but fate had other plans for him.

he’s not allowed to rest; not yet.

and so tony is brought home. reunited with the team who left him.

and here is steve, the man who once told tony that he was okay with losing, now refusing to accept that he lost.

for years, tony had said they needed a plan, but now, after they’ve already lost, is when steve wants to use it.

now is when steve needs tony to focus. now is when steve needs tony to come up with a plan. now, not before. now, after the work is already done.

now is too fucking late.

“tony i need you” “and i needed you”
