It’s interesting to see Steve’s insecurity about his friendship with Bucky. Bucky was his best friend, and presumably his only friend. Steve idolized him. As he told Natasha and Sam: even when he had nothing, he had Bucky.
But Bucky? Bucky had a family – parents, probably some siblings. He likely had friends from school, work friends, and friends from army training. He had endless girlfriends. We know he was popular. Bucky had an entire life, and objectively, Steve was only a part of it.
Before Captain America, Bucky was Steve’s world, but Steve may not have been Bucky’s. And because of that, you can see Steve constantly second guess Bucky’s love for him. During CATFA, he doesn’t know if Bucky will follow him into war. In the CATWS funeral flashback, he doesn’t want to intrude on Bucky’s life (even though if the situation were reversed, you know he’d never let Bucky ‘get by on his own’). Even during the final CATWS fight scene, he says ‘You’re my friend’ instead of ‘We were friends’. He’s horrified that Bucky died following him, because Bucky had a life outside of Steve.
I don’t think Steve realized how important he is to Bucky until he broke the Soldier’s programming, just by existing.
You are particularly attracted to the mysterious and the uncharted. You add
tremendous insights into the psychology of people through observation and social
contact and are a full-time scholar of human nature. You have no doubt felt strong
impulses to assist others many times in your life. When mixed with an Aquarian Moon
the artistic dispositions, sensibility, and social consciousness of Libra are enhanced.
You discover yourself and lose yourself via others because you are extremely social,
but in most respects you are autonomous and self-sufficient. Friend is the word you
use the most and you consider everyone a friend of yours until proven to the contrary.
You have almost a phobia of loneliness and isolation, but it is essentially ungrounded
partly because it is very rare to find a Libra- Aquarius who is not popular with nearly
everyone. Practically no one can resist your cheerful, sociable and humble spirit. The
Aquarian Moon, replacing that with scientific inquisitiveness and compassionate
instincts, removes some of the Libran vanity and superficiality. The key to your nature
is fascination and everyone and everything fascinate you. Your powerful imagination
and compassion cause you to project far beyond your own self and to identify with the
happiness and pain of those near you like the feelings were your own. This can be
dangerous because that almost Christ-like conscience may carry a heavy burden with
too many social duties, as though the sufferings of mankind were completely on you.
Your imagination works continuously. You frequently get lost in the deceptions of your
mind. You are an idealist and a romantic. There are occasions when you abruptly
understand that life does not match your idyllic prospects. If you do not make yourself
alter your Pollyanna viewpoint, disenchantment and misfortune may ensue. In mind
and spirit you are a maverick. You rebuff the old fashioned and always look for new
ways of expression and purpose. George Gershwin, the jazz composer, personified
the creative sensitivity and innovation of Libra- Aquarius. Your cheerful and even-tempered
nature hides a very deep, solemn, and often gloomy soul. For Libra-Aquarians
depression is common. A more sensible, and balanced perspective is the
challenge for you to develop. Try not to allow your sense of social concern to turn you
from self-analysis even though your disquiet for others is real. Think more in terms
your own contentment and completion. By example then, you will aid others. (http://universal-tao-eproducts.com)
The combination of your Sun sign and your Moon sign produces a personality that is a delight in any social circle. You have much to offer because you are so extroverted and outgoing. Not a particularly deep person, you are sought out and popular for your sympathy and warm, yet detached, understanding. Never one to get really deeply involved with other people and their problems, you are, nonetheless, unselfish and don’t dwell on personal matters either. This combination blends the emotional balance, courtesy, and friendliness of Libra with a healthy portion of originality, ingenuity, and independence brought from Aquarius. You have splendid foresight, natural refinement, and an inspirational outlook; a happy and optimistic personality. High ideals and good taste in all things enable you to develop a very fine type of mentality, with a strong and broad social sense. Yours is a great ability to judge human character and a keen insight into human nature. You are alert to original or ingenious ideas and can use these to considerable advantage in your work, profession, or business. Sociability, as an important aspect of your nature, can aid in your advancement and opportunity in life. This is never a superficial sociability; you are sincere and open in your approach to other people, revealing kindliness of heart and genuine interest in others. You possess strong and sincere urges to be of service to others. You also possess a good aesthetic sense, and a possible flair for creative expression. Keen intellect, with a strong sense of proportion or balance, assures that you will be successful in life. Your sincere friendliness and sociability encourage willingness to serve the public and to deal in a friendly and pleasant way, even with strangers. (http://astrology-numerology.com)
Walking in the Wind is such a paradox of a song because you’ve got that light, airy rhythm that kind of sounds like summer and warmth and soft smiles, but then you’ve got the most bittersweet lyrics that follow, which shouldn’t fit with the tune but they do. You’ve got hope, you’ve got redemption, you’ve got loss, you’ve got promises all wrapped 3 minutes 23 seconds. It’s a masterpiece. It’s thought provoking, and it makes your insides feel mushy
when did tumblr collectively decide not to use punctuation like when did this happen why is this a thing
it just looks so smooth I mean look at this sentence flow like a jungle river
ACTUALLY
This is really exciting, linguistically speaking.
Because it’s not true that Tumblr never uses punctuation. But it is true that lack of punctuation has become, itself, a form of punctuation. On Tumblr the lack of punctuation in multisentence-long posts creates the function of rhetorical speech, or speech that is not intended to have an answer, usually in the form of a question. Consider the following two potential posts. Each individual line should be taken as a post:
ugh is there any particular reason people at work have to take these massive handfuls of sauce packets they know they’re not going to use like god put that back we have to pay for that stuff
Ugh. Is there any particular reason people at work have to take these massive handfuls of sauce packets they know they’re not going to use? Like god, put that back. We have to pay for that stuff.
In your head, those two potential posts sound totally different. In the first one I’m ranting about work, and this requires no answer. The second may actually engage you to give an answer about hoarding sauce packets. And if you answer the first post, you will likely do so in the same style.
Here’s what makes this exciting: the English language has no actual punctuation for rhetorical speech–that is, there are no special marks that specifically indicate “this speech is in the abstract, and requires no answer.” Not only that, it never has. The first written record of English (actually proto-English, predating even Old English) dates to the 400s CE, so we’re talking about 1600 years of having absolutely no marker whatsoever for rhetorical speech.
A group of teens and young adults on a blogging website literally reshaped a deficit a millennium and a half old in our language to fit their language needs. More! This group has agreed on a more or less universal standard for these new rules, which fits the definition of “language.” Which is to say Tumblr English is its own actual, real, separate dialect of the English language, and because it is spoken by people worldwide who have introduced concepts from their own languages into it, it may qualify as a written form of pidgin.
Tumblr English should literally be treated as its own language, because it does not follow the rules of any form of formal written English, and yet it does have its own consistent internal rules. If you don’t think that’s cool as fuck then I don’t even know what to tell you.
