“Heroes don’t live forever.” “I don’t wanna live forever, I just wanna live for as long as you.”

How do you go from the top of the world to a nobody in less than a day? How do you ruin everything you’ve fought for, tooth and nail, your whole life, in just a matter of hours? And what do you do when five years later you find out it wasn’t your fault, after all? 

Heroes don’t kill people, don’t forget that.

What makes a hero, after all? Is it the powers? The training? The intentions? Whatever it is, Bradley Bradshaw feels he might have lost it a long time ago, when a teammate’s blood was spilled because of him. He doesn’t care about it anymore.

But the universe has other plans and here’s the kicker: he’s gonna have to care.

I was today years old when I learned that when you type “otp: true” in AO3 search results it filters out fics with additional ships, leaving only the fics where your otp is the main ship

so i went and saw monkey man

I love how Dev Patel’s Character (I’m going to call him Hanuman) was told by his mother that his future can be found in the roots (lines) of his hands.

And how he tried to save his mother from the fire, grabbing with child’s hands, but instead burned his future away.

And how our first real view of them is when he bargains his way into a job that will lead him to the men that took his future away. Scarred, pale, blank and ruined.

Just like the monkey, Hanuman reached out to the burning desired life, and was supposedly stripped of his potential and power as punishment by the powers that be.

But then, with love and care from others battered, he was guided to his heart, and found it still beating and unfettered. A warrior’s heart.

And so drumbeat by drumbeat, he shaped himself, his hands, into a weapon of justice. To save the future. To remain nameless but to return vengeance upon those who would do others harm with no thought.

His hands, created by the past, shaped and balanced the future.
