gaslightgallows:

Small pieces play large parts, and small lies create large problems.

@portraitoftheoddity sent me this fantastic prompt:

Popular opinion: Markus and McFeely are dimwitted hacks. Unpopular opinion: if Marvel wanted to delve into philosophical issues and create a villain who was interesting and compelling without necessarily trying to make him sympathetic… they shouldn’t have pissed off Joss Whedon.
