//Hey, bit of a caution; had an artist on ffdotnet reach out and say she was impressed by one of my MCU fics and wanted to know if I was ok with her doing art about it, so I said sure, but she eventually came back with "oh and this is paid art, what will you pay me."

I am all for paying artists, but not ones that approach me asking for permission to draw stories that inspired them instead of upfront asking if I'm interested in commissioning art.

So beware this is a scam that's going around, and if one MCU account is targeted they might go after others//

//my favorite thing is that I've been on hiatus for literal years now but some of you still send me OSHA violations photos and messages about where to look away in movies and TV shows to avoid eye injuries. Anyway, I love you all.//

//anyway, with how Maria got treated by Marvel MCU in the end, I'm just done with the MCU in general. Haven't been happy with it since ca:tws, so yeah//

New goddess idea: She’s an earth goddess of the new age who’s domain is spinning and weaving, but specifically spinning and weaving gigantic structural steel cables for construction and other industrial purposes. Her skin is steel grey and hard to the touch and her hair is like long dredlocks of woven steel. She laughs at shitty architecture deigns that will fall apart if actually built and protects well-made bridges and buildings she likes. She might warn you of unforseen danger if you always wear your proper PPE.

Okay now what do I name her

Alcohol Content

Beer is on averages 4-15% Alcohol

Wine is 12-16%

Sake is 14-18%

Tequila is 35-40%

Whiskey, Brandy and Vodka are all on the 40-60% range

Everclear is 75.5 or 95%

Asgardian Mead, being brewed by beings with powers beyond our mortal ken, would be best written as 150%

Scumble, being mainly apples, would register at about 200-250% if mere mortals were capable of math after consuming it. You can get drunk off the haze over the glass as the regular alcohol tries to escape.

Scumble is actually on the Prohibited Items List, and Asgardian Mead is HIGHLY restricted.

Be safe, and don’t be sorry. Friends don’t let friends drink Scumble.

Agent Hill.

I understand the appeal of wanting every adult hero to instinctively adopt teenage Peter Parker, but can it really beat the hilarity of acknowledging that at 15 Peter was 5'10", unusually buff, went by a moniker with Man in it, wore a creepy full face mask, and had a tightly guarded secret identity and probably a Queens accent thick enough to have come out of a jello mold, and adult heroes reasonably responded to him by going, “Wow, this grown man is an immature asshole for no reason.”

//I'm just a petty bitch, so one time I got anon hate for a ship and I spent the next week doing nothing but content for that ship.

It's one of the few times I ever posted the hate, because I wanted them to know exactly why this was happening. Usually I just ignored it.//

When I tell people to delete anon hate, to not publish it, it’s not me saying “ignore it and it’ll stop; don’t fight back.” It is 100% petty and spiteful. Honestly, I can’t think of anything better than the person who sent the hate obsessively checking your blog and refreshing and refreshing, waiting for you to reply, and getting increasingly frustrated when the ask they so masterfully crafted never pops up & you just keep posting cute pictures of your pets and talking about how nice your day was.

I love antagonists who mirror the protagonist instead of contrast them. They are the most extreme version of the protagonist, someone with the same dreams and beliefs who believed these things could only be achieved by the sharpest tools. The crushing weight of knowing that could be you.

Sandra Oh was a serial killer but she only killed men who disrespected women and all of my friends and I found her in the act and just stood around clapping as she did it.
