when i say i like black cat golden retriever dynamics i mean that the golden retriever hasn’t been trained is feral and yet is so lovable and non threatening to outsiders so nobody really understands them, too trusting to a fault. and that the black cat is so misunderstood and even though they seem scary and off putting have so much love to give that they would sacrifice all nine of their lives to prove it to you, loyal beyond comprehension

Whelk invites himself into 300 Fox Way

This in itself is such a violation. It feels so predatory and gross. He doesn't apologise or make to leave when he is told readings are by appointment only. His entitlement is everything Blue hates about Raven Boys.

Maura is amazing. Changing the bulbs in the kitchen with Blue is such a lovely domestic scene, only to be intruded upon by a man. In a way, Maura getting him to change a bulb is a great way of knocking him down a few pegs.

'Whelk smells like the kind of shower gel that would be called shock or excite or blunt trauma.' I see what you did there Maggie.

Who is Steve Martin?!

Call me uneducated in American film, but I had to google this guy to see why there is a framed, signed picture of him in the reading room. I can't remember if it's brought up later on, but here are my musings on the connection:

He co wrote and starred in Three Amigos, which of course neatly ties into Maura, Calla and Persephone's friendship.

In Three Amigos, Martin says the line "Wherever there is injustice, you will find us." And here are the women of 300 Fox Way supporting their low income community by giving them guidance and even a heads up to get their affairs in order if they're about to peg it.

Also just the idea of Steve Martin being the only male presence even hinted at in this house of strong women is brilliant.

Trailer Park Controversy: The Adam and Gansey Saga

‘There is no spring here’

This is what Gansey thinks as he looks around. It's quite apparent nothing grows here, including Adam. Spring is a season of growth and potential.

The struggle between Adam and Gansey is so adult and real in its contradictions, trauma responses and bad communication. These kids have been thrust into adulthood from a young age and their ways of dealing with it are very different.

Mom-vibes Gansey has reacted to his childhood trauma by instinctively wanting to protect everyone he loves and to keep them safe (while being truly terrible at looking after himself)

Meanwhile, Adam (much like Ronan) has no idea how to receive Gansey's love. He associates it with being trapped, since that it how he's been with his parents. By contrast, he views Gansey as completely free, ironically judging and objectifiying Gansey as only equal to his money, while despising that he himself is judged by other for his poverty.

Adam compares living with Gansey or living with his parents as essentially property exchanging hands. He doesn't feel like a person in his own right, but his view of how to solve it is so narrow (and like literally life threatening). He can't accept the idea of relinquishing his tiny sense of control, even if that means he'll be safer. He is all ambition and pain and there is no room for love in that.

Meanwhile Gansey is so full of love and hope and compassion for his friends. They just need to LET HIM HUG THEM.

When Adam leaves the park with Gansey, it's implied he will likely be punished for it later. The fact he has to make this choice every time he wants to do something really makes you realise why he sees his relationships through the lens of transaction/what people want from him. He's constantly having to weigh his dubious options and face unwelcome consequences. Everything he does is less of a choice and more of a fear/trauma response. Sadly, like Gansey, we all know he won't be able to start healing until he leaves his parents and the park. 'THERE IS NO SPRING HERE.'

Tagging @eepybois and happy to add anyone else who is enjoying my rambles (:

Gonna add gasoline to two different fires, but I've been toying with the idea of writing Steve Rogers / Chris Evans as either a new Sheriff in Beacon Hills doing hands-on training with Parrish by being corrupt cops fucking the McCall pack OR brothers with the same goal (Parrish-Rogers kinda deal, because they feel like outwardly boyscout looking guys who no one would supect is a horndog)

Make of that headcanon what you will lol

Omg I once saw a post talking about how Parrish looked liked Steve Rogers and Loki had a baby.

The Giant Spider Invasion (1975)

Someone needs to make a documentary about the making of The Giant Spider Invasion. This laughable picture about space arachnids terrorizing a small town should’ve been a fun but ultimately forgettable “big bug” movie. Instead, it’s a delightfully memorable one-of-a-kinder. The special effects are so bad it makes you wonder what was going through people’s heads as they were shooting.

In rural Wisconsin, a meteorite impact leaves behind strange geodes filled with diamonds and alien spiders that grow to enormous size. While the unsuspecting yokels go about their lives, Drs. J.R. Vance (Steve Brodie) and Jenny Langer (Barbara Hale) look for a way to close the intergalactic gateway from which the spiders are drawing their terrible strength.

At a skinny 84 minutes, The Giant Spider Invasion goes by quickly unless its attention is centered on a group of characters that really have no place in this movie. Dan Kester (Robert Easton) is cheating on his wife, Ev (Leslie Parrish). She doesn’t know but might suspect something because the man is always unhappy at home. That is, until he discovers diamonds in their field. Who cares if the cattle have been reduced to skeletons and there’s a dead body nearby? They're going to be rich! Meanwhile, Ev’s younger sister, Terry (Diane Lee Hart) witnesses the initial meteor impact while out with her boyfriend late at night. These people are only in the movie so they can be attacked later, which I guess makes them ‘important’ because the scenes of “terror” are the movie’s best.

There are quite a few spiders throughout the movie. These range from pet store tarantulas to unconvincing puppets, to what is pretty obviously a van dressed up as a gargantuan arachnid. We get a pretty good look at that last one and if it were a parade float, it would be impressive. As a beast that’s supposed to have people screaming and running for their lives, it’s hilarious. The legs move randomly and whenever it "eats", the actors have to heave themselves into its gaping maw so the technician inside will know when to dump buckets of fake blood everywhere. Whenever the beast appears, every trick in the book is used to obscure it. Either it’s shot from far away, or crowds of people are placed in front of it so that all we can see are the top of its body and the legs high above. This leads me to believe even in person it didn't look convincing. Compared to the puppets we see during the middle of the film, however, it's Jurassic Park. When Terry is attacked inside her home, it looks an awful lot like she’s wrestling with some furry pool noodles. It’s always funny and never gets old.

Also amusing is the grammatical garbage that’s being sold as “science” to explain what's happening. Unfortunately, the version of the film I watched didn’t have any subtitle options available but you still get the gist of it. Something about a black hole in the middle of the teeny crater where the spiders landed, and it feeding them waves from another dimension or something. It makes no sense.

The Giant Spider Invasion is so incompetent it's kind of cute. The special effects are a riot and when the spiders aren’t on-screen waving their furry arms, the plot is so inconsequential and lame you can effortlessly come up with sarcastic quips to throw at the screen. The beginning can be a bit slow but it makes it up during the conclusion, which pulls some camera tricks even someone who had never seen a movie before would point to and say “How dare you?!” Slightly slow introduction aside, this is what people think of they hear “so bad it’s good”.

adding some more cause everything is shit rn

all canon ships + valgrace i believe

Hot People Eat at Dairy Queen by itsmrlol; T; 84k; i read a lot of chat fics so i cannot remember if this is the one that had me pissing myself laughing or if it's just average funny but either way it's funny

[us🤝being literal gods] [Sparky re-named the group "nico is a gay disaster; send help"] 12:36am Ghostboy: i beg ur pardon???? Nutella: SPEAK ON IT‼️‼️‼️

mist you already by starrey_night; T, 1-10k; social media/chat fic; fucking hilarious

After the Mist mysteriously disappears, the world of Greek mythology is exposed, and the response is … just as you expected. A story told through social media

Baby Blofis College Fund by zipadeea; T; 3k; hilarious and made me feel very connected to Sally

Valerie calls her an hour later. “Sally, what the hell?” “That bad, huh?” “Bad? Sally, it’s gold. I went from squirming in my seat to crying genuine tears. And that twist, making him a Greek god, it’s exactly what we’re looking for right now. How soon can you get me the next chapter?” *** In which Sally Jackson realizes by the time the new baby is eighteen, a semester of college will cost an arm and a leg. And those Fifty Shades of Grey books sure did make a lot of money.

percy jackson and the scrutiny of his coworkers by pqrker; G; 6k; nosy mortals is such an old but fun trope in this fandom, and this one does it really well

Jim turned back to the tank and looked at Marcie the seal, who was now staring at the spot his coworker had been standing just moments before with that same strange look of reverence in her eyes. Percy Jackson truly was the oddest person Jim Elpool had ever worked with. or 5 times percy's coworkers were confounded by his fish magic, plus 1 time they try to figure it out

Daddy Issues Inc by Librarian_Alexandria; T; 10k; THIS ONE! IS THE ONE THAT WAS SO FUNNY! YAY!

Piper changes the GC name to Daddy Issues Inc, which has little to no influence over anything, and what follows is completely unrelated. Jason introduces his fellow university freshmen to his boarding school friends, also attending Olympus University, throwing Reyna and Piper, equally oblivious and disastrous, together. but not like, together-together yet anyway its a texting fic about our favs at uni and they're chaotic and this was fun to write

Tony Stark: Appliance Whisperer by Alex51324; Avengers; T; 12k; Tony just has a way with electronics

After Tony over-reacts to some SHIELD agents breaking a microwave oven, Steve begins to wonder if there's something the team should know.

you're my cherry pie by novembersmith; Venom; E; 12k; Venom learns about human reproduction and sex. There is a powerpoint presentation.

The first time Eddie suggests they have sex, Venom is, more than anything, extremely confused.

Operation Cat Whisperer by cookies5098; Spider-man; G; 5k; poor Peter is terrorized by cats. (not as heavy on the irondad trope as the summary and tags make it sound)

Peter and the cats of New York have an understanding: he helps them down from trees and tall buildings, and in return, they ignore his spider-like traits that trigger their hunter instincts. So, he honestly thinks he'll be fine when visiting Greece, one of the stray cat capitals of the world. But he's wrong. He's so fucking wrong. Feat. Peter being a walking catastrophe—thank goodness for MJ and Ned—Morgan being a juice pops fiend, and Tony being a good dad to them both.

How To Pay For Rent 💸 by fictionfeast; poolverine; E; 42k; i've read so many poolverine fics since dp&w came out, and i can confirm, this is one of the good ones

To pay for rent, Logan and Wade take odd jobs on Craigslist.

teenage wasteland by swirlees; Spider-Man; T; 10k; the AcaDec team fucking with the FBI

He doesn't set out to be a terrorist. It just...happens. And he's not even really a terrorist. He totally recognizes that it's his fault the Chitauri core ends up on the Washington Monument, but he's not trying to cause terror, ergo, not a terrorist. Just, an accident-ist. In which Spider-Man's journey into superhero-ship leads him to the accidental terrorism that sometimes comes with it, and (if you asked him) the A+ recovery he makes, featuring big brother Deadpool, an absolutely fed up group of FBI goons, mildly entertained Daredevil and Mr. Nelson, and a weirdly very supportive, kind of terrifying GenZ AcaDec crew.

Infinite Coffee and Protection Detail by MusingsOnBuckyBarnes, owlet; stucky and other avengers; M; 100-300k; I believe this one is pretty famous in the stucky and mcu fandoms, but in case you haven't read it, read it. it's hilarious, angsty, and amazing. steve and bucky's characterizations are great. this is probably the best bucky recovery fic i've read.

The mission resets abruptly, from objective: kill to objective: protect.

Sold by flightspath; pynch; E; 7.5k; idk what to say for this. the summary speaks for itself

"Eight thousand," Ronan announced. Professor Kellogg laughed unkindly. "Young man, it seems you’re confused. You’ve only re-drawn the paddle number." "Whatever, that's my bid. Eight thousand.” Another wave of whispers and gasps rippled through the room. “I'm a mechanical engineering enthusiast." He turned to address his tablemates. "But a high school dropout,” he added in a stage whisper, as if they’d asked, “so I need a tutor." He looked back up at Professor Kellogg. "I’m stupid but rich, basically.” --- In which a date with Adam is up for auction, and things go from bad to Pynch real quick

cluck cluck, motherf- by andrealyn; minor pynch; T; 3k; great look at adam and declan's relationship

What's worse than getting sick while your significant other is away? Getting sick when your stubborn future in-law is home at the Barns with you and won't admit that they're sick too. Is stubborn pride worth suffering in silence and refusing to admit that you're worse for the wear? If it means losing a game of sick chicken, then for both Adam and Declan, it is.

Surfin' On A Sound Wave, Swingin' Through The Stars by clotpolesonly; bluesey & pynch; T; 2k; I just reread this and cried

Ronan kicked the tires of a rusty Buick and turned to look Gansey up and down. “What are you supposed to be, anyway? An aspiring yacht captain who misplaced his yacht?” Gansey leveled him with an unimpressed look. “These are just my regular clothes and you know it.” He ignored Ronan’s unrepentant sniggering in favor of checking Blue’s text again. “Jane said she has a couple’s costume planned for us but wouldn’t tell me what it is, only that I should just come to the party in my favorite outfit.” “Maybe she’ll be in bright-ass green and you can be highlighters together.” “Ha very ha.

JessJesstheBest also has very funny trc fics

hi! i also love comedy! any chance we could get some more funny fic recs?

yes, absolutely!

pjo

sorry, don't have a ton of these, I tend to read more serious fics for this fandom

keeping it fruity by buoyantsaturn; valgrace, T, 4k; Leo is both so relatable and so silly, I love it

Leo huffed. “Sorry, I just don’t think I can support such senseless violence,” he grumbled, knowing that all of the excuses he and Nico had come up with over the last few years would be useless by that point. “What is a sport, really, if not an excuse to beat some stranger to a pulp?”

sex education by CordeliaRose; solangelo, E & M, 5-20k; I'm not normally a fan of smut, so if this one got me to read smut, you know it's good

Percy tries to give Nico a sex talk. It goes about as well as anyone could have predicted.

marvel

shelter order by deniigiq; team red, G, 46k; team red quarantine group chat fic, need I say more?

Little Spidey (Pink): Hello Twitter. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Spiderman has decided that we should share with you all our private chat. We will be doing so on the condition that y’all remain cool about it. You gonna be cool? (Peter decides to raise spirits of those in isolation by sharing parts of the Team Red chat online day by day.)

Fishing Isn’t Fair to the Fish by NezumiPi; defenders, T, 17k; I was not expecting this one to have so much humor. or an exorcism.

Spoilers for Defenders S1 and prior individual shows. In a magnificent display of poor judgment, Luke Cage invites the Defenders on an upstate fishing trip in they can get to know one another better and perhaps smooth over some minor interpersonal conflicts. Contains (in no particular order): Minor interpersonal conflicts, major interpersonal conflicts, moderate impersonal conflicts, Danny Rand’s undergarments, porn for the blind, misuse of pharmaceuticals, talking swans, occasional fishing, and some seriously unpleasant business.

Mr. Stark's Home for Idiot Teenagers by OffToNewPastures; Iron family, T, 98k; tbh it's been so long since I read this one that I don't remember what it's about, but I have it marked as funny, so here you go

Peter is there, slumped over the kitchen island, slowly cramming spoonfuls of Double Chocolate Cookie Crisp into his mouth, hair tousled and sticking up every which way, and Tony realizes with sudden clarity that he’s fighting a losing battle. Maybe not today, maybe he can put it off for a while, but someday he’s just going to have to give up and love this ridiculous kid. - In which Tony Stark learns object lessons about love, sacrifice, death, friendship, and parenthood; and makes his peace with the unfortunate reality that his penthouse will be crawling with asshole teenagers every weekend for the foreseeable future. Follows canon...loosely. Ahem.

Chaotic Peter by Isnt_it_pretty_to_think_so; Iron family, T, 15-20k; this one is hilarious and painful and gripping and so so beautiful, and it has a logical path to the Iron family trope that doesn't make me cringe. I stayed up to 5 am on a weekday reading it. No regrets. (My note on ao3: "Reread first story to laugh until you cry, reread second part to feel something," if anyone was doubting how I feel about this fic.)

"Is there a reason you're calling this late at night?" Tony asks, worried in spite of himself. "Tell me what's going on, kid." “Everything is one-hundred-percent fine,” Peter says. “Seriously, I've never been better. But I should let you know I have about thirty bricks of cocaine in my bedroom. Also, Karen won't let me turn off Instant Kill Mode. Also, Walmart discontinued my special razzleberry pink squeezy lemonade. Which isn't related to tonight's patrol, I'm just bummed about it.”  Or: The five times Instant Kill Mode is activated +1

Super Duper Side Effects by awesomesockes, whumphoarder; Avengers, T, 16k; most mcu fans probably recognize this one and know it's hilarious

The downside of an enhanced metabolism is that it renders most drugs completely ineffective. Captain America accepted this long ago as an occupational hazard. But after Peter sustains a serious injury in the line of duty and the doctors have no way to manage the pain, Steve decides to volunteer as a test subject for Bruce and Tony’s experimental super drug. However, the soldier ends up getting a little more than he bargained for. (Alternative title: Original Drug Tester: Steve Rogers)

Obligatory mention of the fic that caused this ask:

in technicolor by deniigiq; Marvel's various NYC vigilantes & Brett Mahoney, not rated (I'd give it a T), 120k; again. the observor pov gives the idea of wildlife being studied in their natural habitat, and it is so. fucking. funny.

Brett sighed and looked down at the folder in his hand. “Your name is Peter, right?” “Lawyer.” “Peter, we haven’t even started talking. Let’s just take a minute to ease up.” “Lawyer.” “Bud, we haven’t charged you with a crime. This is just talking.” “Law. Yer.” Goddamn. (Brett's encounters with Team Red/vigilantes and their weird fucking way of helping)

Still Preoccupied... With 1979 by darkbluedark; drarry (+jily & wolfstar), T, 15-20k; pre drarry accidental time travel hanging onto their rivalry for convenience? hilarious.

It’s May 1979 and the Order has just apprehended a pair of mysterious wizards who look remarkably like a Potter and a Malfoy. Naturally, James Potter and Sirius Black are called in to identify the strangely familiar strangers and determine their backgrounds and loyalties. (This would be a lot easier if their captives weren’t convinced everyone they talk to is dead. It would also be easier if they didn’t spend half their bloody time bickering.)

sirius black and the "mystery girl" by tjmcharg; wolfstar, T, 29k; heteronormativity but for humor reasons

"You can't tell me who you're with?" Lily smiles at him hopefully. Sirius laughs. "Alright Evans, if you're so curious, I have a proposition for you" "We'll set up a little bet, you have until the end of the school year - so two months - to work out who I'm dating, or..." he pauses to think and with an evil smirk decides, "or you have to ask your crush out on a date."

pair of tossers with a cat by moonymoment; wolfstar, G, 10k; a cat nearly destroys them. in the middle of a war.

Something seemed to dawn on Remus then; something so obvious he couldn’t believe he hadn’t seen it before. He frowned and looked at Sirius quizzically. “What?” “Are you…” Remus began, gaping slightly, “jealous of the cat, Sirius?” Sirius looked down. “I’m not jealous of the cat.” “You’re jealous of the cat!” “I am not jealous of the bloody cat.” Remus finds a stray cat on the street and brings it in. Sirius is not impressed. Chaos ensues.

(fuck jkr. for those of you who don't know me.)

(if y'all have any especially funny fics you wanna share, i would not be opposed 👀) (especially marvel and pjo 👀👀)
