last year one night me and my old roommates were all playing twister and mike was on the spinner and halfway through the game he kind of mumbled to himself “i sure hope im calling these right” and then everyone in the room simultaneously remembered that mike was colorblind
half of me is like ‘lets get a billion tattoos and wear killer heels and sharp eyeliner and red lipstick and leather jackets and dye my hair super bright colors’
and the other half is ‘lets wear pastel dresses and cardigans and ballet flats and play ukulele and wear cute jewelry’
and i think that pretty much sums up my entire existence
a good response to the question “how old are you?” is something along the lines of “dunno i stopped counting after the first few centuries”
and it needs to be said seriously without smiling or humor or as casually as possible and followed by “so anyway” and a subject change as if it’s completely normal
“I stopped counting a few decades ago. no. what’s the one with the zeros? millennia that’s it. human time keeping is so confusing.”
Was anyone else a little bit disappointed that the kick ass Lady Counsel Member turned out to be Natasha? Still love Natasha, but for a few glorious seconds, it was awesome to see an older woman come out of nowhere to kick ass.
Level 2:
You realize that all your life you have been coasting along as if you were in a dream. Suddenly, facing the trials of the last few days, you have come alive.
Level 3:
You realiz that you are catching on to the secret of success. It's just a matter of concentration.
Level 4:
You've done things the hard way. But without taking risks, taking responsibility for failure...how could you have understood?
Level 5:
Everything you do is just a bit easier, more instinctive, more satisfying. It is as though you had suddenly developed keen senses and instincts.
Level 6:
You've learned a lot about Cyrodiil...and about yourself. It's hard to believe how ignorant you were, but now you have so much more to learn.
Level 7:
You resolve to continue pushing yourself. Perhaps there's more to you than you thought.
Level 8:
The secret does seem to be hard work, yes, but it's also a king of blind passion, an inspiration.
Level 9:
So that's how it works. You plod along, putting one foot before the other, look up, and suddenly, there you are. Right where you wanted to be all along.
Level 10:
You woke today with a new sense of purpose. You're no longer afraid of failure. Failure is just an opportunity to learn something new.
Level 11:
Being smart doesn't hurt. And a little luck now and then is nice. But the key is patience and hard work.
Level 12:
You can't believe how easy it is. You just have to go...a little crazy. And then, suddenly, it all makes sense, and everything you do turns to gold.
Level 13:
It's the most amazing thing. Yesterday it was hard, and today it is easy. Just a good night's sleep, and yesterday's mysteries are today's masteries.
Level 14:
Today you wake up, full of energy and ideas, and you know, somehow, that overnight everything has changed. What a difference a day makes.
Level 15:
Now you just stay at your peak as long as you can. There's no one stronger in Tamriel, but there's always someone younger...a new challenger.
Level 16:
You've been trying too hard, thinking too much. Relax. Trust your instincts. Just be yourself. Do the little things, and the big things take care of themselves.
Level 17:
Life isn't over. You can still get smarter, or cleverer, or more experienced, or meaner...but your body and soul just aren't going to get any younger.
Level 18:
With the life you've been living, the punishment your body has taken...there are limits, and maybe you've reached them. Is this what it's like to grow old?
Level 19:
You're really good. Maybe the best. And that's why it's so hard to get better. But you just keep trying, because that's the way you are.
Level 20:
By superhuman effort, you can avoid slipping backwards for a while. But one day, you'll lose a step, or drop a beat, or miss a detail...and you'll be gone forever.
Level 21+:
The results of hard work and dedication always look like luck. But you know you've earned every ounce of your success.

It’s okay, Steve, we know your romantic life is stagnant because there’s absolutely no one else in the MCU who grew up in Brooklyn, served in WW2, got experimented on and is now in the 21st century as a supersoldierWAIT A MINUTE
