i know its real fun to talk shit about texas and to laugh it up about how stupid texans are but can we PLEASE acknowledge that this election made texas purple, and that there have been HUGE efforts to bring out people of color and poor people who have previously been disenfranchised, and that even though beto didnt win this is STILL A REALLY IMPORTANT STEP. especially the latino voting population grew enormously this election cycle. fuck the 71% of white men and 59% of white women who voted for cruz, and i dont wanna come off like im making some kind of “not all texans” argument, but the people of color here r fighting tooth and nail and it sucks that ppl r just unilaterally saying “texans stupid nyeh”

“…and everything started to fade, like it was nothing more than a dream.
Stiles woke up with a gasp, eyes wide open and his heart frantic beating in his chest.
Was it really just a dream?
It has felt to real.”

WIPs of this works and all five pages
Clint Barton + Bucky Barnes
- Clint really doesn’t care about Bucky’s past. Steve trusts him so Clint trusts him. After all Bucky’s not the only one who’s killed people whilst brain washed. Still Bucky doesn’t understand why Clint’s not afraid of him.
- Coffee buddy’s. Ex assassins need coffee at all hours of the day. Bucky can’t believe how good coffee is these days. They have actual machines and coffee shops. It’s so much better than the brown sludge they had to drink around the camp fires. Clint shows Bucky all the best shops around town. Coffee dates are an absolute staple of their relationship
- Bucky dog sits Lucky when Clint goes on a mission with Nat. He hated the dog at first. He was too soft and Bucky didn’t think he was capable of looking after anything but Clint insists Bucky is the man for the job. By the end of the day Bucky and Lucky fall asleep on the sofa together. Steve takes a million photos and emails them to the whole team
- On bigger group missions Clint and Bucky are the snipers. The are often positioned opposite each other so they are constantly throwing insults back and forth and keeping a tally of kill counts. Loser buys coffee for the next month and the Winner gets to chose the next netflix series to binge watch. Clint is always determined to win because Bucky choses the weirdest shows that only Steve can tolerate. It must be an old man thing.
- Bucky always helps patch Clint up after a mission when Natasha is away. At first Bucky thought it was ridiculous how many injuries the archer managed to sustain. Until he realised the man was not enhanced in any way. Still he always finds the most childish plasters he can find. Partly because he thinks it’s hilarious that a grown man is covered in my little pony plasters and secondly cos it actually cheers Clint up a lot. Not to mention Natasha always threatens to shoot him when she sees the newest set of patches.
“if i had a dollar for every time he paid attention to me, i’d be in debt” ~natasha romanoff, about long time partner clint barton.
I have found a way for “we need to fake a relationship over the holidays” to work for Winterhawk.
See, Bucky’s been slowly trying to reconnect with the youngest of his sisters, Rebecca, who is now in her late 80′s and still sharp as a tack, healthy, and spry. He’s been talking to her in phone calls, and letters, and the occasional visits and Skype once he’d worked up the courage for it. Eventually she manages to talk him into visiting her and part of the extended family she has over Christmas/Hanukkah/both and he ropes Clint along ‘cause Clint is his best friend after Steve (and Steve is off with Sam) and he helps make Bucky more comfortable (plus – might as well bring Clint with since he doesn’t have a family – it’s the right thing to do).
Now Bucky had talked a lot about the other Avengers – especially Clint. And Rebecca is Very Excited to open the door and greet her long lost brother – and “his lovely boyfriend that she’s heard so much about, honestly Jimmy why did it take so long for you to bring him over to meet me. It’s not like I’m going to embarrass you on purpose or anything.” Her smile spells trouble in a way that Bucky forgot he knew and in the middle of the shock of the statement itself and how chocked up her teasing makes him Clint steps in and smooths things over and mentions that it was his fault but he’d love to see any incriminating photos of young Jimmy and hear all the best stories.
Because obviously she’s an older lady and they shouldn’t crush her happy excitement just because she got a few things wrong in her assumptions so obviously they can pretend to be a couple for a week or so it’s all good.
And, you know, if the two of them already harbored secret feelings for the other that’s just going to make it easier to pretend (tho both dread the day it ends and they won’t have the excuse to snuggle and cuddle and kiss).
Tada!!
So who’s going to write this?
An extension of a random au I had long looong ago…//and until now i still have no idea what this is…😂 so random lol
How to deal with being overwhelmed
As a student, feeling overwhelmed by the amount of work and study I have to do can feel like second nature a lot of the time. Feeling overwhelmed not only has a massive impact on your mental heath (as it can lead to breakdowns in class meaning that your teacher who would rather be anywhere else has to awkwardly try and comfort you) but it can also affect other aspects in your life such as your interactions with friends and family. I see a lot of “just breathe” and “find inner peace” rubbish, which offers no help whatsoever and can increase panic so here are some tips that I (attempt to) follow when I am feeling overwhelmed.
- Take a step back. I know not getting onto your work and stopping for a second can seem impossible and can stress you out further but just taking 2 minuets to asses the situation and collect yourself will help you calm down and deal with the problem at hand. Take a breather, tie up your hair, get a glass of water and then refocus back on what is making you feel overwhelmed.
- Talk to a friend. Ranting to a friend about what you are feeling overwhelmed about can help relieve some anxiety you are feeling and they can help you come up with ways on how to deal with whats making you overwhelmed and calm you down.
- Write it down. Writing down what is making you feel overwhelmed is great as it you can put down all of the thoughts that are swirling around in your head making a catastrophic tornado of stress into a formable visual form. Sometimes, this can make what is making you feel so overwhelmed appear much smaller than it feels like and it can help clear your head.
- Plan it out. Making a plan of everything that is making you feel overwhelmed and how to deal with step by step makes it far more manageable to deal with and by breaking it down into little bits, makes it appear clearer. Often when you are feeling overwhelmed, it is because there a lot of little tasks and one main big task that need doing therefore doing the small tasks first can help reduce stress and make you feel motivated to do the rest.
- Listen to music. It has been proven that listening to cringy (but iconic) angry songs can help reduce feelings of anxiety and make you feel calmer as Dopamine the “feel-good” hormone is released when you listen to music. Listening to angry music in particular can help get out built up frustration and aggravation making you feel better.
- Make a hot drink. It has been proven that drinking a hot drink helps relax your muscles, lowers stress hormones and lowers your blood pressure. Even just putting on the kettle is a calming ritual that can help people relax!
