Tony Stark: bambi eyes (requested by @mrstarrk)

When I close my eyes,  the stars stay in the sky and dance with the sun, and I open the window and call your name as if I know it better than my own. When I close my eyes,  the rain waters the dying flower fields, and I wear diamonds around my wrists and no one asks me about the scars I used to paint in  gold.  When I close my eyes,  the city lights turn off so the stars can finally breathe again, and you place flowers in my hair as I touch your face and I stop counting the days. When I close my eyes,  the morning light paints the room like sweet frosting, and I can hear you breathing, calmness stains your lips and your hair kisses the  pillow. When I close my eyes,  the petals of flowers swim around you as if they know you are just as ephemeral as they are, and we never stopped talking and I never locked the windows and I still slept soundlessly with dreams instead of nightmares and the words in our conversations did not become severed like the lifelines I tried to cut off.

When I close my eyes, I see you. (via dollpoetry)

Could you give me some tips to get started?

This is gonna be a long ass post. My apologies. Anyone is more than welcome to add to this list.

Never forget that Timeless is so much more than ships:

“No body gets to decide our futures except us.” 1x15

“The present isn’t perfect but it’s ours.” 1x02

“I’m scared.” “I wouldn’t go into battle with you if you weren’t.” 1x02

“Do you ever wish you could go back to your old life?” “If I did I would always wonder if I was missing out on something better.” 1x03

“Figure out what you’re fighting for, and you’ll be alright.” 1x04

“I agree with him, but I trust you.” 1x04

“Because sometimes people need a leader who can wrestle a bear.” 1x05

“I left them to die. And they gave me a medal for it.” 1x05

“Real heroes don’t look at all like I pictured. They’re far from perfect. Bull-headed, stubborn, reckless. But also recklessly brave. They charge in without a thought to themselves. Not without fear or doubt but in spite of it. We are all scared. But we are going to fight and die anyway.”1x05

“Because the future matters.” 1x05

“I promise you, you won’t die for nothing here.” 1x05

“So that makes it okay?” 1x06

“That’s what history is, right? It’s choices. Some small, stupid. Some monumental. But we make them.” 1x07

“The women in this office have actual names.” 1x08

“I’m just a number cruncher.” “Not true.” 1x08

“You’re a good man, Mr. Hamer.” “Just trying to do the right thing” 1x09

“Anyone has to be open to possibilities.” 1x09

“I know you well enough by now to know that what you really believe in is helping people.” 1x10

“Fear isn’t real. Fear isn’t actually what’s happening. It’s just your reaction to it.”1x11

“What we’re doing; it’s right.” “I’m sure Flynn tells his guys the same thing.” 1x12

‘That’s all I watched when I was a kid. Gary Cooper and John Wayne. They never crossed the line. Good and bad, black and white. There was a code, you know? And then I go to war, and all I can think about is, “My God. "Those flicks are a bunch of crap.” Because nobody is that good.” 1x12

“When Ernest calls them the Lost Generation, he doesn’t mean aimless. He means battered. Broke down. But getting ready to stand back up.” 1x14

“No matter how hard it is, you have to do what’s right.” 1x15

“I used to think you were a monster, but I don’t anymore. I think you’re sad and you miss the people you love.” 1x16

“We are all so caught up in our grief and our past and pain, so we just continue to hurt more people.” 1x16

“We have to stop trying to fix the past and focus on the present.” 1x16

“It’s not too late.” 1x16

“The war is here whether we come to the battlefield or not.” 2x01

“Now you know; you can move on. Nothing ahead but the open road.” 2x02

“If they don’t like it, then screw ‘em.” 2x02

“You don’t have to defend your reputation to me. You’re not like the other women, and that makes people uncomfortable. So they mock you, and they tell you you’re stupid. But you refused to change. And then that makes people mad, so they attack you, call you evil. They call you a witch. I know that none of that is true. So you talk to birds, so you like dolls, so you refuse to confess to being something that you’re not. That’s brave. And I’m proud to be in your company.” 2x04

“You’re going to make the world a much better place. There are worse fates.” 2x05

“If you were my daughter, I’d be so proud.” 2x05

“Only if we give up hope.” 2x06

“Fanboys don’t save the world.”2x06

“To hell with oblivion.” 2x05

“If you think Alice can be reduced to one day and one speech then you really have no idea what all of this is about do you.” 2x07

“Marches and speeches don’t change the world.” 2x07

“You think that because you are smart enough or tough enough to make it into the boys club that everyone else should be able to make it too.” 2x07

“The grandest, most honorable battle is the losing one.” 2x07

Timeless is a story of family, friendship, redemption, renewal, hope, love, loss, forgiveness, choices, and the future.

Heroes come from where they are least expected. 

History is about choices, not fate.

Sometimes the right choice is not the easy choice or even the choice that feels right.

People can change.

You have to be open to that change.

Dwelling on the pain of the past will never allow for healing.

Fear isn’t real. 

What’s right and wrong isn’t always black and white.

Being broken and tired doesn’t mean you’re finished or lost.

Our heroes let us down. 

Our parents disappoint us.

You always have something, someone to live for.

Anything can change the world in the hands of someone who cares enough to try.

The past and all its victories and failures, what we agree with and disagree with, are crucial in building a better future.

If you reduce this show to a battle of who falls in love with you then you are doing a monumental disservice to the revolution of TV that Timeless has brought us. 

If you want to ask my questions about why I think these quotes are important just shoot me an ask, and I’ll be happy to explain. Or if you have a Timeless quote you particularly love, please add it! And tell me why it’s important to you.

I, a universe of atoms, an atom in the Universe

A poem by Richard Feynman in his address to the National Academy of Sciences: There are the rushing waves mountains of molecules each stupidly minding its own business trillions apart yet forming white surf in unison Ages on ages before any eyes could see year after year thunderously pounding the shore as now. For whom, for what? On a dead planet with no life to entertain. Never at rest tortured by energy wasted prodigiously by the Sun poured into space. A mite makes the sea roar. Deep in the sea all molecules repeat the patterns of one another till complex new ones are formed. They make others like themselves and a new dance starts. Growing in size and complexity living things masses of atoms DNA, protein dancing a pattern ever more intricate. Out of the cradle onto dry land here it is standing: atoms with consciousness; matter with curiosity. Stands at the sea, wonders at wondering: I a universe of atoms an atom in the Universe.
