"Even for your four, this is a new low," Minerva ranted, blood boiling as she stared down at her four favorite students, who were all seated in chairs in her office, looking less-than-contrite. "Breaking in to the Slytherin Common Room in the middle of the night? Sticking every single student to their bed?"
"We don't discriminate," Sirius Black nodded, sending her a grin. "Though James's boyfriend will be a bit mad."
"Oi! Shut up about Re-"
"Boys!" Minerva interrupted, trying not to laugh. "This is unacceptable. I have to take fifty points from Gryffindor!"
All four Seventh-Years paused, staring at her. "Fifty?" Remus Lupin asked, tilting his head to the side.
"Each!" Minerva nearly-screeched. "And detention every night for a week!"
"So that's two hundred points total," James Potter said sadly.
"Yes," Minerva nodded, trying not to feel too badly. "So if you-"
"Can you make it three?" Sirius asked, interrupting.
She blinked, quite sure she'd heard incorrectly. "I- what?"
"It's just, we're trying to set a record," Remus explained calmly, eyes wide. "We need to beat two hundred and fifty."
Minerva's heart began beating erratically. No. Surely they hadn't found out-
"We recently came across this, you see," James continued, grinning and pulling a paper from his pocket. "Peter, here, had a detention where he had to rewrite some old detention cards. And look at this one!"
Hand shaking slightly, Minerva looked at the card. On it, written in a scrawl, were the words:
Minerva McGonagall, sixth year, Gryffindor, a month's detention and a loss of 250 points for hexing all of the Slytherin team's brooms. (Most points lost in a single day.)
Sighing, Minerva tried to school her expression before she looked back at the four boys. But she knew it was far too late to do anything about this. The secret was out.
"You're our biggest role model, Professor," Peter said sincerely, an awed look on his face. "A record of the most lost points in a day? We just want to beat your record."
"Yes. Oh, well. We'll have to try even harder next time," James smirked, taking the card back from her loose grasp.
It was at that moment that Minerva McGonagall new she was absolutely fucked.
Thinking about the fact that Steve has always been a rulebreaker and even before he became Captain America, he was allowed to get away with it because he was sickly Steve Rogers and as Cap, he was given leeway because he got shit done. Steve Rogers never learned that his actions have consequences because he was never around long enough to see them through.
Comparitively, Tony was a rulebreaker too, and during that time, he made enemies and allowed his ego to get the better of him and he knows and recognizes this. Tony strives to better himself by sticking to the rules because his experience says that if he does what he wants with no regard for who he hurts in the process, it is worse in the long run.
This was what caused the conflict between the two factions in Civil War. Steve had, a few years prior, taken down Hydra, and by extension SHIELD. No attempt was made on his part to attempt to remedy that, which meant that one of the only safegaurds put up for super-powered individuals was gone. With SHIELD gone, there was nothing to protect the Avengers from retribution from the governments they’d been operating in.
Tony opted to sign the accords because he and his army of lawyers could probably unravel the whole thing with time.
But Steve didn’t want to wait. He wanted instant satisfaction without considering the consequences of his actions. His team consisted of people with plenty to lose (Scott, Clint etc.) and his actions got them into serious trouble because Steve ‘I get what I want’ Rogers couldn’t wait.
Tony Stark learned from his mistakes, chose to take his experiences and grow as a person. Steve didn’t, he never had to face the consequences of his actions and henceforth, continued to be reckless and cause problems for himself and those around him.
You know what we do to people when they behave like Steve does? We put them in grippy sock jail or therapy. Steve simply got away with a slap on the wrist following the events of infinity war.
this is the only thing i want pls omg
HOW
DID NO ONE TELL ME
THAT LEVERAGE AND THE LIBRARIANS
HAVE
Arthur sends Merlin on some job and wants him to take a knightly escort to keep him out of trouble. Merlin: I'll take Gwaine with me Arthur: I said "keep you out of trouble" not "guarantee you'll get into it". Take Lancelot with you, he's the least likely to commit treason with you Merlin: You say that like he's never committed treason with me
flinging your friends over your shoulder like potato sack. dangling them by the scruff stacking them up in your arms like laundry shoving them into your purse etc etc i love it

Kelly: I think it's so nice that they got her wife to present the Pulitzer, it just made it feel really special.
Alex: Lena and Kara aren't married.
Kelly: Oh, sorry, girlfriend.
Alex: They're not dating either.
Kelly: What???
Alex: I know, we have a betting pool on how long it will take them to realise.
OMG?!?
So apparently AO3 is cannonical to the DC universe, in which it is called Tales of our own or TO3!
Merlin: Bird watching goes both ways.
Arthur: That's vaguely threatening, thank you.
Wanda stans don't have the common sense on whom to blame; the one who USED the weapons that killed her family, or one who created those weapons.
Like, I have been noticing them saying that Tony was at fault, and he killed Wanda's parents. One question, it looks like they haven't watched the previous movies yet. So if I ask them, was he there on the spot itself? Did he drop that weapon specially in their house? Did they even realise which timeline they're talking about? When Tony didn't knew his weapons were causing destruction.
Because Tony was under the influence of Obaidiah Stane. The one who made him create the weapons and sooner distributed them to the terrorist organisations.
In IM1, after getting kidnapped in Afghanistan, he openly announced that he was shutting down his weapons company the moment he saw his own weapons back there;
"I saw young Americans killed by the very weapons I created to defend them and protect them. And I saw that I had become part of a system that is comfortable with zero accountability."
I had my eyes opened. I came to realize that I have more to offer this world than just making things that blow up. And that is why, effective immediately, I am shutting down the weapons manufacturing division of Stark International until such a time as I can decide what the future of the company will be.
What direction it should take, one that I'm comfortable with and is consistent with the highest good for this country, as well."
So, it just creates an irony why they still call Tony a murderer for Wanda's parents. Fine, it's traumatic, but at least I wouldn't blame the company but the one who used the weapons.
You said everything perfectly Tony isn’t the one who killed Wanda’s parents and I’m pretty sure that when her parents died he just barely got the company! I don’t know why they made this a thing in AOU it just seems unnecessary why not just have a random bomb kill her parents or something there was a lot of waysage of Ultron could of gone to make it better! 
Dudes my acc has been like 5 reposts a year but I wanna change that! I’m hoping to start posting weekly! I’m probs gonna focus on Marauders and MCU for now.
