Rhodey & Tony // Next time you ride with me, okay?

Hannibal’s curling up into himself, reaching for Will’s neck, and he laces his fingers behind it. His voice is all music.

“I loved you when I meant to shoot you and couldn’t, which is why, because I loved you, Hannibal–I didn’t want to, but I did. I loved you when I betrayed you, loved you when I warned you, loved you when you held me as I’d longed for you to and dug the knife into all my hidden places, when you left us to bleed on the floor and I loved you as you walked away.”

“Will,” Hannibal says, choking on it, drawing it out to three syllables and beyond, letting the vowels punch their way out of his lungs, letting the rain fall and pool on his face.

Bucky and Tony :D!

Tony Stark + Greek Words For Love (insp.)

You must be truly desperate to come to me for help. What makes you think you can trust me?

one of my favorite phrases is ‘that’s a problem for future me’ because it combines two of my favorite things, mild humor and intense, panic inducing procrastination 

A redraw from this that kinda got out of hand

Same as last time, big thanks to lettherebedoodles for the inspiration!

boy ariel is the cutest thing i ever saw just bury me and plant a rosebush

“Fables of the northern forest”

Language isolates in Europe. 

Tartessian (light blue): The language was spoken before the Roman conquest of the Iberian peninsula. Linguists have yet to establish a link between Tartessian and the surrounding languages. It was first thought to be a member the Celtic family but syllable structure analyses have dismissed this hypothesis. The language is speculated to be a language isolate or linked with non-Indo-European tongues like Iberian and Basque.

Iberian (orange): Another language that was in the peninsula before the Roman came. Latest works estimate that Iberian was a lingua franca/a koinè; meaning that it was not the maternal language of an ethnic group but rather a language that developed when people of different languages or dialects came into contact. There is no proven connexion between Basque and Iberian.

Basque (red): the only European isolate still spoken to this day, with approximatively 1 102 391 speakers in Spain and France. Basque most likely antedates the arrival of Indo-Europeans on the continent. There are countless hypotheses about the language family to which Basque belongs to but none has had any success. As explained above, there might be a common history between Iberian and Basque but nothing is sure. A possible ancestor to Basque could be Aquitan, which was the name given to the Basque in Ancient history.

Pictish (dark blue): Native to Scotland, Pictish spread from the southern border with today’s England to the Shetland Islands. There again, there are heated disputes regarding the family of Pictish. Some schools of thought link Pictish with pre Indo-European populations, others with Germanic tribes while others see in the isolate a potential Celtic language. The last option might be the closest to the truth. The name Pictish bears a certain likeness to the Pictons, a tribe of Celtic descent that gave its name to one of France’s regions, Poitou-Charentes, above Bordeaux and its biggest city, Poitiers. With too little evidence, Pictish has yet to be categorised. 

Etruscan (dark green): Etruscan is not an isolate per se. Likely relatives were found in the Alps and the Aegean Sea. Approximatively 10,000 inscriptions have been found but none is of great length and even fewer bilingual inscriptions with Latin or Greek. Though unrelated to modern speeches, linguists mostly agree upon its membership to the Tyrsenian/ Tyrrhenian languages. Etruscan is of significant importance because it is through its speakers that the Greek alphabet reached Latin-speaking areas.

Rhaetic (light green):  A potential cousin of Etruscan spoken in the Alps. Its linguistic categorisation is not clearly established, and it presents a confusing mixture of what appear to be Etruscan, Indo-European, and uncertain other elements. Rhaetic could be a cousin of Etruscan, member of the Tyrsenian/Tyrrhenian family, an Indo-European language with ties to the Illyrian languages (native to the Balkans) and Celtic. A third hypothesis could be that Rhaetic is unrelated to other languages but was influenced by Etruscan.

Lemnian (lighter green): Lamnian is native to the island of Lemnos, in the Aegean Sea, between the coasts of mainland Greece and Turkey. The family bond between Etruscan and Lemnian stems from inscriptions found on funerary stele written in the Etruscan alphabet, proximity in vocabulary and grammar. Phonetic reconstructions concluded that Lemnian had a four-vowel system, which could have developed under the influence of Hittite (from the Anatolian branch of Indo-European group) and Akkadian (from the Semitic family) in modern-day Turkey and Middle East. 

Pelasgian (purple): Little is known about it except that Pelasgian is native to Greece. The etymology of Pelasgian remains a mystery but it was the name given by the Greeks of old to their predecessors, meaning “sea”. The influence of the language can be found in the names of localities and deities in Greece; some non IE sound sequences can be found, such as “-nth-“ (e.g., Corinth, Probalinthos, Zakynthos, Amarynthos) or names like Athena, Thebes or Delphi.  

Eteocretan (blue): Analysing the written traces gave little to no information about the true nature of Eteocretan, however, it was sufficient to claim that it was neither part of the Indo-European nor the Semitic families. Eteocretan means “true Cretan”. The inscriptions found were written with the Greek alphabet but did not make sense in Greek. It is believed that Eteocretan is a descendant of the Minoan language, the language of the Minoans, whose civilisation arose on the very same island. A writing system called the Linear A (dating back to 2500–1450 B.C) was found on Crete and could be Eteocretan ancestor. 

Eteocypriot (brown): the “True Cyprian” language has left very few engravements for archeologists and linguists to work on. Written in a derivative of the Cretan Linear A, Eteocypriot is speculated to be a member of the Tyrsenian/ Tyrrhenian family (and therefore a cousin to Etruscan) or from the Northwest Semitic (like Aramaic, the language that Jesus supposedly spoke). 

There should be a site where concert attendees can download a video of the concert they went to, so they don’t feel the need to record it on their phone.

Or, how Tony Found Out About Bucky’s Blog. 

Tony couldn’t seep. Sometimes he managed a few hours if he was tired enough, so usually he went to the gym and worked out until he was exhausted. Tonight, though, he found the gym already occupied: Barnes, with his hair tied up, working steadily at the heavy bag. Normally Tony would make an awkward comment and leave him to it, but instead he just heads for the opposite side of the gym. After setting up at one of the far treadmills, Tony worked his way to a easy run. Barnes was laying his fists rhythmically into the bag, and the quiet thumping was sort of strangely soothing. Between the running and the thumping, Tony slipped into a near-trancelike state.

 And then Barnes let out an ungodly howl, drew back his left fist, and slammed it straight through the heavy bag with a roar of, “DIE A THOUSAND BURNING DEATHS!”

Tony fell off the treadmill, scrambled to his feet, and booked it to the elevator.
