the author writing the book: so yes they died

me writing fanfiction: no actually they didn't

And evening

This tweet totally describes me

Sometimes I hyperfocus so hard on something, I forget I’m a person until someone interacts with me. I feel like some wild animal seeing a human being for the first time. I’m like “oh yeah I’m supposed to speak and stuff”

You’ve heard of sharing a bed. Now get ready for sharing a brain cell.

My favourite thing about fanfiction is that I can fall in love with the same characters a million times over but each story is different yet still has that familiarity to it- a feeling like coming home.

Which pan flag is the right one please I don't want to mess it up

THIS is the real pansexual flag we've been using for years:

bright pink, yellow, and blue stripes. this is the actual one.

THIS however, is made by mspec lesbian exclusionists and purity culture obsessed twt users:

dont use this or any other "new" pan flag they try to fucking make. its not our flag. its never been our fucking flag. as a pansexual i fucking hate everyone who uses this or tries to get content creators to support this. fuck exclusionists.

Everyone: Merlin, no

Merlin: Merlin, yes

Arthur: Merlin, no

Merlin:...

Merlin: Merlin, definitely yes

alternatively

Everyone: Arthur, no

Arthur: Arthur, yes

Merlin: Arthur, no

Arthur: Arthur, no

I’m watching Merlin again and it really does play out like a fanfic doesn’t it. Enemies to lovers slow burn servant and master magic au. Poor kid falls in love for rich CEO’s jerk of a son and makes him a better person. Uther’s just like: yes you saved my son, to repay you you shall now be his servant. I mean, what kind of setup is that???

Not even going to comment on this one!

character: *has frost powers* me: your backstory is family related trauma isn’t it

I wanna talk about something that I have not stopped thinking about for weeks and yet I haven’t seen a single soul mention it.

I know I implied before that the Winter Soldier outfit was designed solely for looks and not function, but that’s not completely true. Parts of it certainly do have some actual function, namely holding as many weapons as humanly possible. 

With that in mind, I want to bring your attention to the iconic chest strap/harness. On the original CATWS outfit, this harness is designed to carry a gun on his back (specifically a Skorpion vz 61).

Now let’s look at the “Winter Soldier” outfit that Zemo gives Bucky in TFATWS. It includes a very similar chest harness, yet what’s on the back? Nothing. It literally serves no practical purpose. There’s not even a place to carry a gun if he wanted. So… why? What’s the point of him wearing it at all?

This time the harness is purely symbolic. It’s there to evoke the image of the original outfit – to let people know “this is the Winter Soldier”. As confirmed by the scenes in Madripoor, it seems to be widely known that the Winter Soldier is not a free agent but an attack dog who will follow his master’s every order. Therefore, this harness was explicitly designed and worn to suggest (through its strong visual association with the Winter Soldier) that he is, once again, OWNED and COMMANDED by someone.

Basically what I’m saying is Zemo dressed him up with the equivalent of a fucking collar.

This is the original concept art for Bucky’s “pretend” Winter Soldier look in Madripoor (note the short hair). This is what we could’ve had. The eye makeup! THE MASK!!! We were robbed!

At least we still got a very good chest harness though. It’s fine, I’m fine. I’ll take the scraps I’m given, beggars can’t be choosers and all that, but could you imagine if Zemo had dressed him up in THIS?? I would’ve died on the spot.

Bucky really went from a cranky scowling old man who never smiles to that Cool (gay) uncle who pulls up 2 hours late to the family cookout with sunglasses, cake and level 100 swagger

Now that's character development

Thor: How do you sleep at night knowing so many people hate you?

Loki: Naked. In case they wanna kiss my ass.
