hunting module

#okay it’s incredibility fascinating to me to see the base of the winter soldier in bucky #and the reflection of bucky in the winter soldier #how do you carve the person out but leave the skills?

Okay military meta time friends. I’ve been meaning to take this one on for a while but I’m in the field at 2337 after a crazy long day on my best behavior around high ranking brass because my CO/BFF sent me on a cherry assignment so I am warn out, and I’m gonna make this short.

When this gif set first came out it simply said predator mode engaged. Then it was changed to hunting module. I reblogged both because I love this fucking gif: both are prime examples of a nonfiring actor correctly emulating behavior of a firer. Seb has played a soldier before and he is good at correctly emulating the distinct way we move when constantly carrying a deadly weapon. Chris evans, btw, is baaaad at that.

However the more recent reblogs of this gif set come with the additional commentary about similarities between the way Bucky moves and the way Winter moves. And from a professional standpoint I can instinctually bit emphatically tell you that the similarities are few and the differences are astronomical. Other than basic weapons and tactical proficiency, Bucky and Winter could not move more differently if they tried.

For one, Bucky lacks the thousand mile stare, whereas that’s all Winter has. Bucky is very focused on the moment, the present, the target right in front of him—the one posing a threat. Its why he gets caught by surprise several times in close combat in that scene. Buck is a sniper. He devotes everything to one point of a focus at a time. He pivots as such. His face shows microreactions as he takes in details of his surroundings one by one. He’s still very situationlly aware, but not simultaneously.

Winter /hunts/. His eyea don’t flicker everywhere and his body language and firing posture doesn’t shift a hundred times minutely like Bucky’s does because rather than focus with a sniper’s POV he sees the whole picture. He’s taking everything in at once. Hence the rhousand mile stare. They could not be more different.

I like this last commentary a lot because in the comics and in the direction that the MCU seems to be going I'm not sure Bucky really kept anything other than basic muscle memory from his initial military training. In fact, I think with the new super serum he was retrained to suit a very different position for Hydra. That would also explain why it takes Steve a little while to realize who he is in both the movies and the comics. If you've worked with someone that long, you probably know their fighting style really well, in both, Steve doesn't realize its Bucky until after his face is revealed. Basically I think that it makes a lot more sense that Bucky and Winter would move differently. I'd love to see that post-brainwashing Bucky would have a similar mix of the two forms of movement. He may not be so cold, for example, but he'd probably be a lot more aware of his surroundings.

This incredible invention is keeping girls in school

For Trinitas Kunashe, like many girls in Malawi, getting her period was unexpected, unexplained and a burden for her everyday life. Often, girls who do not have access to pads prefer to stay home and out of school for the duration of their periods.

But Trinitas is changing that with her amazing new invention:

Made from bright and comfortable locally-sourced fabrics, Tina Pads are a hit amongst girls in her community. They are waterproof, practical and fun – and most importantly reusable.

Determined to make sure no girl is forced to miss school because of her period, Trinitas is a passionate believer in the power of education to change lives.

SUPPORT BLACK OWNED BUSINESSES

SUPPORT BLACK WOMEN IN BUSINESS

Capitalism at its best.  Some role models we should all consider.  I am a fan of Hagen Daz, but after reading this, I need to get me some Cherry Garcia!

I just need to work for them tbh 

And they openly support Black Lives Matter. They are GOLD ❤️

they also have an AMAZING dairy free almondmilk ice cream. changed my life

They’ve also gone in front of congress to testify that every shitty business’s claims that minimum wage hikes are bad are complete bullshit

What I love about this is that their ice cream is more expensive and we still buy it. We do that because the flavors are incredibly creative and the quality is worth it. They can charge us more so that they can help the world be a better place, because they're innovative thinkers. Companies don't have to cut corners and exploit people to make money.
