Kevin probably took so long to admit that he wanted to recover. Wanted to get help for his alcoholism. He probably didn’t want to tell the team afraid he’d get made fun of. But he finally does. He goes to Neil first because the kids an asshole but Kevin knows if he really truly needed something Neil would 100% help him.
He tells the cousins next. He expected Nicky to crack jokes or Aaron to say some kind of bullshit but he’s not sure if Neil talked to Andrew and Andrew made threats but Nicky just hugs him and tells him he’ll help anyway he can. Aaron kind of just nods at him and tells him he’ll miss him at Edens which is the nicest possible outcome.
He doesn’t tell the rest of the team because he doesn’t drink with them anyways. He doesn’t really bother until they’re celebrating a massive win and they all want to party at the dorms after. Kevin is invited and he wants to go because he actually does like hanging out with these idiots as much as he hates to admit it. But he’s not really sure he can be around all that alcohol but even Andrew and Neil are going. He finally pulls Renee aside and explains because she’s sober and he wants to know how she does it. She explains that throwing himself into a situation before he’s ready won’t do him any good so he decides to just go back to his room.
Not even 10 minutes later the foxes are piling into the dorm room with snacks and sodas stacked in their arms and Nicky has a tower of DVDs falling onto the floor and he’s telling Kevin to pick one and Kevin is so??? But Allison just smacks him upside the head “you should have said something. As much fun as it is to get shit faced it’s not the only way to have fun. And Kevin suddenly realizes that there’s not a single liquor bottle in sight. They gave up their night of partying to watch movies and talk shit for him. Because he’s trying to get better and this is them supporting him.
It’s unspoken after that. If it’s a team activity that all of them are at there’s no drinking. Even Abby and Wymack have switched out their beer and wine at family dinners and when Kevin tells them they don’t have to they just shrug and tell him it’s the least they can do. Renee tells him eventually he can be around people who are drinking. Maybe. He might be able to but it’s okay if he can’t. And Kevin hates this team. Hates that they’re so difficult but he loves them. He loves his family.
what allura’s arc should’ve been about: learning to forgive herself for the pain of her past, and figuring out how to let go of it and not compare herself to what once was in order for the old to make way for the new. Being open to change and new ideas allows us to build towards a better future, and harboring desires for revenge blocks our path to true progress and peace.
what shiro’s arc should’ve been about: recognizing that he is not broken because of his body or his illness or his modifications or his traumatic experiences. That being a real hero comes from being able to stay true to your inner goodness, fight for what is right, and to rebuild yourself again and again, convincing those around you to do the same and never give up.
what lance’s arc should’ve been about: self confidence is made stronger by working through moments of self doubt. Without our insecurities, we wouldn’t be able to identify what makes us great in the first place. Our goals and our dreams are attainable as long as we are courageous enough to put in the work and try. We shouldn’t always look outward for the validation we deserve.
what keith’s arc should’ve been about: needing others is not a weakness, and losing people we care about doesn’t negate the value of forming close bonds with those around us. It is our relationships with others where we learn to accept and love ourselves. To love and be loved is a gift, and we can learn to navigate and lead others through those connections.
what hunk’s arc should’ve been about: fear is a universal trait, and being afraid of something doesn’t mean you aren’t brave. There is more than one way to be heroic, and continually believing in the power of trying to see the good in the universe and connect with people is always worthwhile. We all have things in common, even our fears, and acknowledging that is a strength.
what pidge’s arc should’ve been about: home is not a place. We are always linked to those we love, no matter how far apart we are. Our actions, stories and knowledge that we share amongst us all is what weaves us together. And doing things that would make someone proud is a way to stay connected with them, even if they’re not around.
Literal text (notice the naked man in Tony’s bed):
A male (!) villain insinuating Tony can’t resist him (because of his “playboy” reputation, which is a big “hmm”):
This speaks for itself:
Tony waxes poetic about Steve’s attractiveness:
Actually Tony calls Steve handsome a lot; it’s kind of a thing:
Oh and that time Namor called out Tony for sleeping with Madame Masque (after Tony said she looked like Doctor Doom) and Tony trying to swerve the convo:
That time the media was openly suspecting Tony Stark was HIV positive (this is from a comic in 1992 when AIDs was still thought of as a disease that primarily afflicted gay/bisexual men):
… Just saying, the subtext (and even the text) has been there for a long-ass time. Tony’s dating profile being set to woman and men was just more evidence on top of the pile.
Tony is so obviously bi, T’Challa knew.
Even the evilness of Victor Von Doom isn’t enough to keep tony from acknowledging how handsome he is.
More of Tony swooning over Doom (added by @i-gotta-go-good-day-bitch in the replies but i wanted to keep the ones above too).
Also added by @i-gotta-go-good-day-bitch, implications Tony and Rhodey were/are more than friends:
And I forgot to add this classic. A gutter note during the development of Iron Man vol 3 implied Tiberius and Tony had slept together (given their relationship was very much portrayed like them having been exes, this isn’t a shocker). (Link to @whatjanesays‘s blog who originally posted these images)
“better roll” meaning “roll around the hay” (so saying sexual partner). The “Ru” here is talking about Rumiko Fujikawa (who, while broken up with Tony, slept with Tiberius).
In no particular order: my favourite parts of the Captive Prince trilogy
– Damen upon discovering Torveld is in love with Laurent: “oh wow I had no idea Torveld had a thing for reptiles”
– Ancel coming out on stage to perform holding a stick and Damen immediately assuming he’s about to shove it in his own ass
– “Your uncle asked me to spy on you by taking you to bed” “did you agree?” “If I bedded you, you’d know it.”
– “I wouldn’t make you do anything distasteful, Nicaise” “looking at you is distasteful”
– “Maybe I’d like you if you were not a foot taller” “It’s considerably less than a foot.” “Feels like more when you argue with me on points of honour”
– Laurent asking Damen how to knock on the door of a brothel: “this is your arena after all”
– “It’s not my fault nobody in your country can think in a straight line”
– “I can’t get to Laurent in time to save him from his attacker!” *grabs sword* “YEET.”
– Aimeric continuously being a cockblock
– Laurent, about to go off on Guion: “Damen is 100% of my impulse control, unfortunately for you he isn’t here right now”
– *laurent is given a pleasure slave who’s pumped to get it on with him* Damen: “You realize he’s gonna make you sit around in his room and do jackshit.”
– “You might have killed Damen!” “That’s the idea.”
– “Who do you want to guard Jokaste’s prison cell?” “Find the two gayest men here and make them do it.”
– Damen, despite being king, standing on Laurent’s command to serve him like some medieval version of “Daddy pass the salt”
– laurent: *puts on a dress and pretends to be jokaste, then once they’re safe he’s very obviously still getting changed when he gets out the wagon, and shrugs into his jacket while throwing the dress not back into the wagon but to one of the soldiers to get rid of, no fucks in sight* damen: “deal with it”
– damen being bi as all fuck and having a type which extends beyond gender/sex; blonde and blue eyed and smart and sassy as all hell
– LAURENT!! IS!!! BOOKISH!!! AS!!! FUCK!!!
– damen: *major I wanna fuck eyes across the training ground* lazar: “Ok mate point taken like same af”
– laurent being awkward and cute
– laurent treating nicaise like a brother
– nicaise in general ok rip my sapphire son
– damen being oblivious as all fuck to how much he’s wrecking laurent during the sports stuff
– DAMEN BEING SHY
– damen: “stop laughing! You’re gonna give me a boner! I don’t wanna die! We are literally trapped on a balcony behind a door while guards accuse a prostitute of being you while you are disguised as a pet AND THEY ARE LESS THAN 10 FEET FROM US and will you please stop laughing!” Laurent, through his giggles: “wild animal”
– laurent: *looks damen in the eye while kicking a slate off the roof* “run bitch”
– just these 2 and their adventures
– “charls! My cousin charls. I’m charls. We are both cloth merchants. We are both renowned. We are named after our grandfather. Charls.”
– damen, nik, lazar, jord, literally everyone: “hide ok maybe they won’t see the very big illegal broken wagon if those soldiers see us we’re dead” Laurent, climbing on top of wagon and waving silk in the air: “YOOHOO SOLDIERS!!!!!”
Ned: Now that we’re graduating I wanted to tell you how kind and good friend you are, Peter. You’re thoughtful and you’re always such a delight to have around. I’m gonna miss you.
Peter: Thanks, Ned, that’s nice.
Michelle: Goodbye, Peter. I have enjoyed parts of our time together.
Peter: [bursts into sobs and hugs her] Oh God, Michelle!
Michelle:
Ned: [tearful] That was really something.
