Ways the Time Spent Developing the Bruce/Natasha romance could have been better spent…….

1. Explaining why Tony rebuilt his suits.

2. Explaining why the Avengers are now working together.

3. Explaining why Steve isn’t still looking for Bucky.

4. Giving Falcon more than a minute of screen time.

5. Developing the father-daughter thing they had going with Fury and Nat.

6. Showing Steve and Tony actually building up a friendship so Civil War will at least have a smidgen of emotional impact.

7. Spending more than a minute on why Tony and Bruce thought Ultron was a good idea (and why they have apparently never seen a sci-fi movie)

8. Having Tony get to talk to the Vision about Jarvis.

9. Vision/Scarlet Witch 

10. A Natasha backstory going into her being forced to kill as a child/losing her identity, anything but “I can’t have babies so I’m a monster!” 

11. Explaining the media reaction to all this. (We hear they want Bruce arrested, but how do the people feel about the Avengers working without Shield? How is the world responding without Shield? 

12. Natasha picking up Mjolnir (don’t tease it and not carry through, Joss). 

13. Basically, any scene showing any continuity with Phase 2. 

14. Who am I kidding? Basically any other scene. A training sequence. 20 minutes of Falcon baking cookies. An explanation of how Hulk’s pants work. An hour of all of them playing with Clint’s kids. Anything would have been better. 

I’m down for the 20 minutes of Falcon baking cookies suggestion, personally.

You know Sam doesn’t stint on the chocolate chips.

I want one of those scenes in a dude bro film where “tomboy” chick has to wear a dress to go undercover or whatever, but instead of the guys drooling as she walks down the stairs, they’re like “k. U need to stop. Go put the cargo pants back on. You look super uncomfortable and awkward in that. Brutus, you go be the fake prostitute.”

I’m just imagining this super ripped guy called Brutus being like ‘YESSS!!! I’VE ALWAYS WANTED TO BE THE FAKE PROSTITUTE!! Now is my time to shine!!’

science side of Tumblr explain why the ride home always takes less time 

The ride home takes less time because you already have memories of the locations you passed on the way there. When you take in a new memory your brains “slows down” to process it and write as much information as possible. When you’ve already experienced something it doesn’t have as much to remember.

wait so is time essentially an illusion??

Yes.

yeah im sorry i dont need this right now it’s 10pm i’m procrastinating studying for a final and i just need you to stop there for a sec if that’s okay with you

It’s very late and that underappreciated moment in asip when John comments on all the rubbish in the flat and Sherlock starts throwing stuff in boxes in an alarmed fashion like ‘Don’t go I can clean the thing I can clean 3 thing’ is corroding me

“Particularly prone to serious procrastination problems are children who grew up with unusually high expectations placed on them…or else they exhibited exceptional talents early on, and thereafter “average” performances were met with concern and suspicion from parents and teachers.”

Holy SHIT

WELL THEN

Yep.

They actually tested me for a learning disability in high school because I was consistently failing math.

They discovered that I actually scored in the 80th percentile in that sort of learning.

Problem was, in every other subject, I was in the 99.8th percentile.

I had never learned how to study because I never needed to—and then, when something proved to be even the slightest bit challenging, my brain went

“LOL nope this is impossible abort”

Meanwhile, this entire time I’m scraping by in subjects like English. The assignments I did turn in, I’d score top marks—but I’d avoid turning in projects I didn’t think were “good” enough.

Essentially, my brain had two settings: “100%” or “0%”.

This sort of Baby Genius shit makes kids and adolescents neurotic and self-destructive.
