y/n
hey strange
can you tell me if i could—hypothetically—eat an infinity stone?
and would it be tasty?

strange
why would you want to eat an infinity stone ??

y/n
forbidden jolly rancher *shrug*

strange
why do you keep asking me these kinds of questions anyways-

y/n
curiosity

bucky
you know what they say about curiosity ?

y/n
yeah yeah that it killed the cat
but!
did you know satisfaction brought it back???

bucky
...what

y/n
a lot of those old idiom things, metaphors? whatever. a lot of what we commonly use is only a part of the whole thing

sam
interesting.....
vision?

vision
yes?

sam
fact check please
i don't trust y/n

wanda
i cant believe you all have practically reduced vision to a fact checking "device"
you have google you know? you can just as easily type it all out and fact check it yourself

clint
yeah. and? maybe i don't wanna type all of that

vision
you are right sam
the original is actually "care killed the cat" and the first record of the last part ("and satisfaction brought it back") actually takes place after the recorded use of "curiosity killed the cat"

sam
HAHA TOLD YOU SO

y/n
:(

vision
but

sam
no
no but

vision
y/n is partially correct
for the saying "great minds think alike" in british english there is a continuation "great minds think alike, but fools seldom differ". i believe they both originated from the same text. and "carpe diem" has a longer original version as well. "carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero" which means to seize the day, but put little trust in tomorrow

sam
no 😭

y/n
:)

strange
okay how did this conversation go from talking about eating the infinity stones to a whole english lesson

y/n
idk
ask bucket

bucky
how would i know?!
you were the one who started to go off about "hon hon it's not actually curiosity killed the cat, it's curiosity killed the cat and satisfaction brought it back, hon hon" and then you were wrong

y/n
harsh :/

tony
heyo
not to interrupted whatever is going on here.... but tomorrow is halloween!! i'm having a party and you all better be there or be square. costumes mandatory :D

wanda
YESSS

loki
yes !!

y/n

tony
yes
unless you want to be square >:}
...
alrighty i take everyone else's silence as a yes, so you've all rsvp-ed so when you receive the automatic email you can ignore that
see you all there! party starts at 7pm tomorrow :]

-

a/n
