My brain: I wonder if people realize that the book of Leviticus was not written by a person, but actually dates to the time when the Greeks were dominating the Mediterranean and spreading their culture to the places they traded with, which included public baths and same-sex relationships, which the Levites of modern-day Israel couldn’t allow because they believed that they were the descendants of Levi, descendant of Jacob, whom God himself referred to as “Israel” and were therefore the chosen people that HAD to maintain their ancient traditions, so they introduced the Code of the Levites (aka: the Book of Leviticus) which included a contradiction to every single Greek custom to scare the descendants of Jacob from marrying any Greeks or attending public baths — meaning that people of the United States of America — the first free and modern democracy — have political platforms and personal opinions about homosexuality that they think is founded on the word of God, but in reality stems from a set of laws that were designed to prevent Jewish men from taking baths with Greek men
aight so european leaders got together to make decisions about the refugee situation and the bottom line is 1) refugees are gonna be detained outside of europe, 2) the detainment centers are actually named “kontrollierte zentren” in german which is not ominous or in incredibly bad taste at all, 3) private rescuers are gonna be charged for rescuing drowning refugees, 4) we pay countrues such as turkey or libya a lot of money to keep refugees out of europe, 5) outer european borders will be strengthened and frontex (border control) will receive more funding
so in short uhhh europe decided on killing and locking up more refugees; fun!
The best example of the gulf between Nat and Steve that neither of them see is that Steve would absolutely not read Nat’s file that she shared with the world post-SHIELD, to prove that his friendship with her, and Nat would absolutely assume that Steve had read her file, to prove his friendship with her.
And both of them would assume that the other understood exactly the right choice and acted accordingly, and never even think to discuss it.
Because friendship.
I just really love the idea a lot that Steve and Nat have such wildly differing ideas of how to show the other person they trust them and that these differences are based entirely in the way their relationship turns in CATWS.
there’s something so fantastic to me in the idea that Steve, who spends half the movie distrusting Nat because she’s not telling him everything, deciding that he’s fine not knowing everything because she’s earned his trust, and that Nat, who has spent the whole movie showing him the best of herself, decides that she can trust that he can see the worst of her and like her anyway.
listen i kno we all have a giggle at people from ye olden times for believing in the four humors and bloodletting and shit like that but there are adults in this year of our lord 2018 who deadass believe there are Toxins in their body that can be released by drinking juice
