And the lecture ends with a “What America should have done for Lafayette when he was stuck in an Austrian prison and exiled from France and banned from most other European countries.”
It doesn’t help that Lafayette is my favorite and it takes very little prompting for me to launch into his life story.

Steve seems like a not-jerkassy human being, so I’m sure civil rights and feminism won’t give him much pause, but - hm. He slept through Nixon and Watergate, so he wouldn’t have the inherent distrust and cynicism towards the federal government. He might think Black Widow is a communist, but I’m guessing “commie” wouldn’t hold the same negative connotations as someone who had actually gone through the Cold War. He’d be pretty shocked at the changing attitudes towards the armed forces in the wake of My Lai and Cambodia and Iran-Contra and the Kandahar massacre. Vacuum cleaners are weird but they perform the same function as a carpet sweeper and he’s not an idiot so they won’t confuse him. Modern art - he’s an artist, right - that - that might be a bit jarring. Huh. Has he ever eaten a kiwi? Does he know what a kiwi is? Has someone in SHIELD explained to him that smoking cigarettes for your asthma is actually a really terrible idea? Has someone explained inflation to him so he doesn’t literally faint when he goes to gas up his motorcycle? Does he have a license for that? What were popular American attitudes towards the Middle East in the early 40s? Were can openers - yeah, can openers had been invented by then, so -
ooh omg CHITAURI GO SPLODEY I shall shut up now
Oh yeah, been there, done that.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4y5boqSEz1qhf8s7o1_400.jpg)

Building a Monastery the Medieval Way
Historians, architects, archaeologists and volunteers in Germany are teaming up to build a medieval monastery the old-fashioned way. Working conditions will be strictly 9th-century, without machines, rain jackets or even coffee. It will take decades, but they hope to garner fresh insights into everyday life in the 800s.
Hot damn! I wanna be apart of this! Dream project!
THIS is my reaction to the Comic-Con website not working AGAIN. I was knocked out of the running again because they can’t get their asses in a line and use a ticket system that WORKS.
“I found myself staring at Camlin’s face smeared by an overlay of wolf, like he was wearing a plastic, lupine mask. His eyes looked too bright against his human skin, the pupils slatted and black, and angrily pushing against the stubborn line of his brow bone.”
