After everything that happened in Ragnarok, imagine Thor hearing about Steve and Tony’s fight and being like “Really?! Thats why you all stopped working together?! Just get over it! I did! I’m still friends with Loki and he’s betrayed me three times since breakfast! This petty mortal shit is nothing!”

Loki: “Can confirm, poisoning his mead right now.”

Thor: “Ha! I’ve built up an immunity.”

Now I feel I was cheated on Civil War

Steve: “Well, we disagreed about this big political thing, and I mean big – almost every country in the world was involved.”

Thor: *nodding* “Right.”

Steve: “So we started to fight, I mean really fight.  We each had about half a dozen friends backing us up.”

Thor: *nodding* “Always best to bring your friends along”

Steve: “And by the end, it was just me and Tony, and we… we really pounded each other…. no holding back.”

Thor: *nodding* “The most honorable way to fight”

Steve:  “So now we’re not friends anymore.”

Thor: “… you lost me.”

Rembrandt’s drawing of a child learning to walk

David Hockney, on why it’s his favorite drawing:

There’s a drawing by Rembrandt, I think it’s the greatest drawing ever done. It’s in the British Museum and it’s of a family teaching a child to walk, so it’s a universal thing, everybody has experienced this or seen it happen. Everybody. I used to print out Rembrandt drawings big and give them to people and say: “If you find a better drawing send it to me.”

And::

“I used to say to people, ‘I have a reproduction of the best drawing ever made in my pocket’ and I would pull it out and I would convince them, within a minute, that it was the best. It is a Rembrant from the British Museum of a little family teaching a little girl to walk. Everybody at home has a picture like that. The Rembrant, for me, tells me about who you are. I’m looking at the marks and I can feel his arm. That wouldn’t be possible with a photograph – it would be a performance. Rembrant was not intervening in any way, meaning it is the greatest work of art. You don’t see it at first. It is a virtuoso drawing but it doesn’t shout out.”

And:

When I look at these marks, I know a Chinese master of the seventeenth century would recognise instantly that this drawing was the work of a master. Very few people could get near this… The tenderness this drawing shows is not possible with photography.
