“Mom, listen, I haven’t been together with Topanga for 22 years, but we have been together for 16. That’s a lot longer than most couples have been together. I mean, when we were born, you told me that we used to take walks in our strollers together around the block. When we were two, we were best friends. I mean, I knew everything about this girl. I knew her favorite color, her favorite food. Then we became six, Eric made fun of me because it wasn’t cool to have a best friend that was a girl or even know a girl. So for the next seven years I threw dirt at her. I like to call those “the lost years”. Then when I was thirteen, mom, she put me up against my locker and she kissed me. I mean, she gave me my first kiss. She taught me how to dance. She always was talking about these crazy things and I never understood a word she said. All I understood was that she was the girl I sat up every night thinking about, and when I’m with her, I feel happy to be alive. Like I can do anything. Even talk to you like this. So that’s, that’s what I think is love, mom. When I’m better because she’s here.” -

Okay I’m sorry this is hastily thrown together in Paint but seriously can we talk about these two lines.

I love how in the beginning Stark has no respect for Agent Coulson, dislikes everything he’s working for and with and just wants him gone. He won’t even acknowledge Phil as an entity outside of SHIELD; to him, Phil is the annoying messenger, a nameless lapdog that exists to pester him. And then, after what happens, it actually rattles him. For the first time in the movie, he’s shocked and not mouthing off at somebody. And it’s not just him, either - all of the Avengers up until that point are at odds with each other. There they all are, highly skilled or superpowered up, and what are they doing? Bickering. The guy who actually stands up, fights and takes the hit is just that: a guy. Phil, no superpowers, no back up, and a weapon that he doesn’t even know what it does, goes up against a deity with every odd stacked against him because he’s going to do the right thing no matter what. And he pays for it. Loki gets away and the Avengers are separated, but they come back united. The “push”, as Fury worded it. And suddenly Stark not only has respect for Coulson, but he makes a point of letting Loki know very clearly that what he did to Phil - Phil, not Agent; the joking is over - was a big, big, BIG mistake.

If you ask me, they’re not avenging Earth. They’re avenging Phil.

ANYWAY ENJOY YOUR PHEELS.

During World War II, Josephine Baker served with the French Red Cross and was an active member of the French resistance movement. The French Resistance was a group of individuals who helped to win the war against the German Nazis enemy with undercover work. Using her career as a cover Baker became an intelligence agent, carrying secret messages written in invisible ink on her sheet music. She was awarded honor of the Croix de Guerre, and received a Medal of the Resistance in 1946. In 1961 she received the highest French honor, the Legion d’Honneur from French president Charles deGaulle.

She would also tuck tiny notes into her skirts when she did burlesque routines, and would dance up to the intended recipient and let him pluck it out.  Really brave, really smart, really interesting lady, on top of all her artistic talents.
