Headcanon that McGonagall is offended on a personal level that Umbridge loves cats.
This literally got 600 more notes just while I was at dinner what the fuck
How has nobody thought about this before tbh
Ok but imagine McGonagall in cat form prowling around the castle, in strategically chosen places so that Umbridge will come across her.
Umbridge takes the cat back to her office and feeds it a little saucer of milk. The cat starts coming back to Umbridge’s office around the same time every night, until eventually Umbridge gets into a little routine of setting out a saucer of milk for the cat before bed.
McGonagall now has all the best secrets on Umbridge, all of the results of the evaluations, and most importantly, is in a perfect position to spy on the ministry for the Order of the Phoenix.
All because Umbridge is obsessed with cats.
The mental image McGonagall lapping up that milk while full of burning hatred for Umbridge amuses me in ways I can hardly describe.
Tony having learned his “I rule everything, nothing fazes me” attitude from Aunt Angie. When he was young, the constant reporters and cameras that came with being the Stark heir terrified him. Angie the performer taught him to hide his nervousness, exude confidence even when he didn’t feel it. Fast forward a couple decades, Peggy wryly telling Angie that she may have done a bit too good of a job there.
Headcanon that Martha goes to church or a concert and hears “Abide with Me” (the song that the people sing in Gridlock), and recognizes it, and can’t explain the tears to her friends.
Gabriel doing his janitor thing at Crawford Hall and slightly dancing to what seems like nothing, but he’s really tuned into a radio station because angels can do that.
Steve needs to have a Swear Jar and every time someone says a profanity in front of him, he just holds it out. The especially bad ones cost two dollars, don’t think Steve will let you get away with that. And this goes on for months and months and when Bucky starts coming around, he notices it. And he also notices how Steve doesn’t swear in front of any of the Avengers.
And when he gets Steve alone, he’s like, “what gives, you’ve got the worst mouth out of anyone I know.”
And Steve, with a perfectly innocent expression, says, “they made assumptions, Buck. I think those assumptions should at least buy a new bike, don’t you?”
And Bucky just stares at him, awed, like, “I forgot how fucking devious you are.”
