David Foster Wallace was like, Art must be sincere! We must use every tool in the linguistic toolbox to cut through sentiment and dishonest cliche and build fresh ways to reveal the power and reality of unironized emotion.


And Mister Rogers was like, Basically the same thing, but without any shame or pretense or fear of sincerity.

I think that a lot of the reason Jarvis has become so human is because Tony treats him like he’s human. Tony talks to Jarvis in a very colloquial way. He says “you up?” when he knows damn well that Jarvis is operational. He says “throw a little hot-rod red in there” instead of “paint components x, y, and z with red paint #20.” Tony treats all his machinery like that—Dummy and You, especially—and Jarvis is no exception.

Jarvis has become much more human since Iron Man 1. He actually displayed emotions in Iron Man 3—specifically when he feared for Tony’s life, his voice sounded terribly frightened, and in instances like the second gif where he said “I need to sleep” and not “My battery is depleted.” Jarvis has grown and changed, as any self-aware creature does. He has become human because he is treated as such.

Dante’s Inferno: a guide to hell

Take the test here and see which level of Hell you’d be in! I got level eight. Go figure. ;) 

I got 8

I got level 7 for being too violent :)

7 oh well

6th. YOLO.

Whoo! Purgatory! Goodie two shoes I am~

6th level, here I come!

Purgatory. Wow I’m dull.

7th level. Last time I took this I got 6th, I guess I’m getting wrathful in my old age.

I got 7th level too! *high five*
I got “extreme” on that one, though my next highest score was “very high” for Level 2 (Lustful).

Level 2 - Lustful. No surprise there.

Two. Um.

I got limbo but I DO believe in God…
