Apology Post (with extra info)

TW! Suicidal thoughts/Intrusive thoughts, poor grammar

(Note: Every hate message I receive referring to the post below will be posted here as well. Pin of shame, bastards!)

I edited this lightly to add some extra information and move the TLDR up here, and added a cut.

Now, with the explanation, things have calmed down a bit. However, due to poor conduct, asks are going to be turned off until Sunday (25/2) and anon asks will be on back at 1/3.

If it continues when I resume anon asks, everything will be off again.

TLDR: I felt guilty and my mental health deteriorated because of the war, so I blocked the Palestine tag and received heavy backlash.

So the post I am referring to is this one. (Note: Said post has now been deleted by yours truly.)

Here, I will detail why I made this post, the events leading up to it and the backlash.

Some background information: I am a 14–year-old girl with unmediated anxiety and depression.

I have always been concerned about human rights. Even when I was a child, I would ask my mom, “Why do we have wars? Why can’t everyone get along?”

I tried to write a letter to my principal asking for more extensive sex ed, but scrapped it once I remembered that I was in a catholic school.

And when the Ukrainian war came along - biggest incident since I got access to tumblr - I was a staunch supporter of Ukraine. When I wasn’t in uniform, I made a point to dress in blue and yellow. No one noticed, of course.

In the early days of the Palestinian Genocide, I was eager to reblog any and all information that crossed my dash, even though I knew I couldn’t do anything to help. If you scroll down deep enough, you can find my posts.

However, as time passed and the war went on, whenever I saw those posts, I started getting thoughts to off myself. Those included, though not limited to:

“Oh, wow, look at you scrolling tumblr while millions are dying. Good job you, why don’t you go and join Hitler in hell, you’re contributing to this mess.”

And it got so bad that I would have mini panic attacks whenever I saw some posts like that.

I blocked the tag last year.

At that time, I sent an anonymous ask to @justagingerwithredhair, one of two people I trusted decently with my mental issues.

I can’t find it anymore, but it went something like this:

“Ginger, I’m sorry but I had to block the Palestine tag, it’s detrimental to my mental health and I can’t deal with it anymore”

and it was received positively.

Yesterday (in my timezone), I posted the post seen in the photo. I had not enough brainpower to realise that it could be taken both ways.

I was blocked by at least one person and received the following anonymous ask.

You can see my response in my blog, but I will repeat it again.

I am not a terrorist, a genocidal maniac, an Islamophobic bitch or a Zionist.

I have spoken out against Israel. I watch videos of Islamophobic people with disgust. I was outraged when the Holocaust was not required teaching in my school. I believe the Israeli Government is in the wrong.

If you keep this up I will be the one hanging from buildings.

You have made me write a post about my life that’s longer than 90% of my fanfictions. Congratulations.

Jon Bon Jovi FanFiction ideas | PLEASE VOTE

a/n: under the cut are two story ideas for a jon bon jovi fan fiction. Please comment with #1 or #2 for the one you want me to write or simply comment “both” if you want me to tackle both of them. Both stories are very different, one is family-friendly and the other has very dark themes.

tagging some people who might be interested in this: @being-worthy @unknownperson246 @their80smichelle @duffslut @richardsamboramylove55

Enjoy and please kindly comment

Your mother was playmate of the year in the summer of 1987. She was also a groupie who followed many glam metal bands back in the day. After spending an August night with the band bon jovi you were born nine months later. It’s now your senior year of high school (2006) and you want to meet your birth father. After your mum re-connects with Richie Sambora, he convinces you to meet your dad for the first time. You were shocked to learn your dad is jon bon jovi. This story will only have language and mild violence (you get into a fight with jon’s daughter)

or

You were always known as a good catholic school girl. What your parents didn’t know is that you were obsessed with your church pastor, Jon. This story will have very dark themes including: religion, heavy smut, & language. It will also have an appearance by Richie.

Tell me what you think please.

•TV show: "Criminal minds".

•Content warnings: A book about a 40-year-old murder case being published and presented in a theater, an elderly woman being severely ill and dying after she found out who murdered her daughter and joining her late daughter and husband in Heaven (her daughter even coming to get her to take her to Heaven) and the man who made the investigation about the girl's case possible having passed away before he could see the book about it be published.

•What happens in this chapter is inspired by "Boy crazy"'s ending, which is one of my favourite parts of the episode. Here's the link to it: https://youtu.be/7h55JaUYuqc?si=eo4SkPLkSkOig50G .

•I don't really know what a book's presentation is like, so I kind of took inspiration from the last chapter of the fanfiction "Little talks" on fanfiction.net, and also made some things up.

•JJ is there because thanks to Emily's mother, she was pardoned and didn't go to jail for her crime. I couldn't mention it in the chapter.

•As you know, I'm a religious Catholic, and in this chapter I've basically described Heaven. If you don't believe it exists, that's fine, but don't make fun of it, please.

•Thank you very much to my friend @lex13cm for suggesting to me to use the story's title for David's book too. It was a very good idea.

The bridge to Heaven

Chapter 22: Finally at peace

On June 12, 2004, exactly one year after Matthew's phone call to David, which had made the writer's investigation about Emily's case begin, a very important event occurred at John W. Engeman Theater, in Long Island.

It was the presentation of the last book Dave would have published in his life.

It was entitled "The bridge to Heaven", and what it talked about were the last weeks of Emily's life as told by her mother, former boyfriend, friends and acquaintances.

But it also included David's investigation about her death, and was dedicated to Emily herself, but also to Matthew, who had died on December 9, 2003, before being able to see the book his extremely brave choice had allowed Dave to write be published.

Aaron, Derek, Elle, Jennifer, Penelope and Spencer, along with their families, were there, though, and of course Declan, his grandmother and his wife and daughter had come too.

And then, in addition the majority of David's relatives, Pauline Leonard was there as well.

The woman had remained unsure whether to go or not almost until last minute, but then she had chosen to do it not only for Emily, but also because in a way, she felt like she owed it to her sister Abigail.

"If at the beginning of last year, someone had told me that I would have soon discovered and brought to light a fourty-year-old secret, I almost certainly wouldn't have believed them" David began talking, starting the presentation, after getting on the stage and inviting Aaron, Derek, Elle, Spencer, Jennifer and Penelope to join him "It happened, though, and if we are gathered here tonight, it is also and above all thanks to the men and women who are now on stage behind me, as well as Emily's mother and former boyfriend, former nurse Pauline Leonard and Matthew Benton, who can't be here today, but whose decision allowed me to give Emily the justice she deserved. So, first of all, I have to thank them for what they were courageous enough to do".

At the end of his short speech, everyone in the room clapped, then, taking turns, first David, then each of Emily's former schoolmates told a little part of that story.

They didn't say much, so as not to spoil too much of the book, but listening to their speeches, Elizabeth was still deeply moved.

As Emily's former friends and acquaintances spoke, however, a strange thing happened to Emily's mother.

For a few seconds, as each of them gave a brief speech, she seemed to see the teenagers they were when Emily was part of their lives in them again.

It didn't last long and the woman was aware that it couldn't really have been happening, but at that moment, it still seemed so real to her.

What happened next, however, was even more emotional for Elizabeth.

Suddenly, while Jennifer, the last person to speak, was talking, she thought she saw her daughter on stage with David and her former schoolmates.

Emily was wearing a white shirt and pants of that same colour, but, most importantly, she was smiling, something she hadn't done often in the last few weeks of her life.

She seemed happier than she had been in at least the last three years of her life, and she almost immediately spotted her mother in the crowd and waved to her.

"My little girl" Elizabeth couldn't stop herself from whispering with tears in her eyes "You just couldn't not be here today, right, Emily?"

"I'm okay now, Mama" Emily told her a few seconds later, moving closer to her, then disappearing.

Elizabeth didn't know for sure if what she had just seen was real, she couldn't know that, but deep down, she felt like it was.

Wherever she was at the moment, her beloved daughter was now at peace, so she could be too.

She could finally stop suffering and holding on and just join her.

She had been ill for three years, her family knew it, and she felt like she couldn't take it anymore.

She didn't have much time left, she was aware of it, but she had always felt like she had one more thing to do before leaving this world.

That thing was finding out what had actually happened to Emily, she now knew it.

And now that she had found that out, she could be free too.

That night, shortly after 3 am, Elizabeth's heart stopped beating.

She was alone in her small apartment in the retirement home, but weirdly, she wasn't scared at all.

At her last breath, she saw a big white light, stronger than any other one she had ever seen, then Emily appeared before her.

Her daughter had come to get her, just what the woman had waited for for fourty-one years.

"Come on, Mama, let's go. Daddy is waiting for you" Emily told her, taking her hand and starting to walk with her into that light.

Elizabeth could reunite with her family, and the three of them would now be together forever, finally at peace.

fanfic writer questions

Thanks for the tag, @sssammich @waytooinvested ❤️❤️

1- How many works do you have on AO3?

With today's publishing of Clockwork (which has a moodboard I'm super proud of 😭), I have 19 works!

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

204,675 words! A few are missing since I haven't uploaded my most recent ficlets yet.

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Supergirl :) Generally supercorp, though I do have a dansen ficlet, and my first rojarias fic will be out in a couple months for @supergirlmayhem!

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

No One and Nothing (season 4 rift) So I Kept Pretending (my first fic 🥺) Synthesis (season 2 fix-it) Inauthentic (pink kryptonite finale fix-it... it's not what you think!!) Iridescent (season 5 rift fic)

5. Do you respond to comments?

I do!!

When I first started, I actually thought you weren't "supposed" to respond to all your comments. I eventually decided to throw that thought out the window, because I'm really grateful for comments and want to thank people. They really do mean the world to authors ❤️

(If someone has multiple in a row, I usually respond to just one in a cluster, but I appreciate all of them!)

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I'm only capable of happy endings.

That said, Darkness in All Things and Iridescent had the most... complication in their endings. Things aren't perfect, but all the relevant characters are alive and happy.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

They are all happy 😌

8. Do you get hate on fics?

I've gotten comments from some known trolls and a couple of rude folks. It's worth noting that even the big authors get them, so I largely ignore/delete them.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

I have written smut once. I will do it at least once more. It tends to lean towards soft, and I find myself kind of terrified to throw smutty things into the world. (I think this is the ex-Catholic trauma talking.)

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

I haven't written a crossover. This tweet is the best I've got on that front 🤣

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of. (I have no idea why people even do this... how do you feel proud of something you didn't even do?)

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Not that I know of.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Nope! I've never even had a fic beta'd. The idea of either of those terrifies me.

14. What's your all time favorite ship?

Xena/Gabrielle will always be dearest to my heart. I just never felt the need to write for that ship - the show gave me almost everything I wanted. (If you ever watch it, make sure to watch season 6 in spaghetti order.)

15. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

None! I only have 2 published WIPs, both of which I'm super excited to complete (they were started earlier this year). For my unpublished WIPs, I'm pretty confident in them too.

16. What are your writing strengths?

I think I come up with good plots to explore the characters with.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Writing 😭 I have this story in my head that I want to tell - how the characters change and are interpreted and all that - but I find I never get close to conveying what I actually want. Writing is very hard!

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

Eep, I don't want to screw up another language. I occasionally include kryptonese when it feels natural, but otherwise I don't do this.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Supercorp got me writing fanfiction, and for that I am very grateful.

20. Favorite fic you've written?

This is a hard one.

Almost every fic, when I write it, is like my CHILD. It usually becomes my favorite - or at least top 3 - for the time I am writing it.

I will say Even Though You're Kryptonian (which, coincidentally, was the 20,000th supercorp fic). It started off as a lark to use some ideas I thought I'd never get around to otherwise, but ended up weaving together better than I thought it would.

But that's an answer that changes by the day.

[carlos-in-glasses]

hello! 17, 18 and 21 for fic asks please 💜

Hello and thank you 🥰

17. What's the most memorable comment or review you've received on one of your fics?

Oh my gosh there's actually quite a few that have stuck with me! But the first thing that comes to mind is @heartstringsduet's comment on Afterglow of a Supernova, which I read while I was at work. A mistake - because it overwhelmed me so much that I had to fight back tears! I don't know if I should tag the other people here because it's more personal, but I've also been told by someone that they dreamed about a fic I wrote and someone else got a tattoo not because of my fic on the whole, but partly because a certain scene served as an extra nudge towards getting it. I have seen the tattoo and it is stunning.

Editing to add @erythrocytebuffoonn who rocks my world with the time and care put into reading and commenting! (I just read you Swim Fic comment and I want to cry about that as well 😭)

18. Are there any fics or authors that have been particularly influential or inspiring to you?

Yes! Not to be super wishy-washy and general about it, but basically, if I've ever bookmarked/recommended/commented a fic, that author has inspired me and left me awestruck. That includes you, Lola! I just can't look at olive oil the same now.

So many talented writers here. I just want to squeeze something.

21. Have you ever used fanfiction as a way to explore your own emotions or personal experiences?

Absolutely. Darkly, I had a certain experience in my late teens, which I wrote into a fic this very morning, exploring it through TK. I also based my own version of Alex in Chasers on my own ex. Poor TK. I'm giving him all my shit. Don't even get me started on being a queer catholic kid with daddy issues lol. Fan fic is such an outlet in different ways and I really value it.

tagging: @weirdestarrow if you want to do this <3

[mommalosthermind]

Hey book mom im hovring on if i wanna try writing a fanfiction, because partially its smut, but also deals with mentions of underage sex, noncon, (in a bad way) and is also set in a grimdark. Also because i dont know if taking on another project rn is a good thing (part of me thinks it is, because itd be a good alternative to whern im spent on coding). I'm also fighitng the repressed catholic boy in my head bc its yknow, smut. Was looking for your thoughts

My thoughts are do what you want, what makes you feel good, as much as you can. Go forth and make things because you want to.

If the story that’s itching the inside of your head is dark, then write it dark. If you throw it out into the world on places like ao3, it takes only a moment to tag it properly so folks can navigate and curate their reading experiences.

[and since I still get the occasional complaint about my censorship rant re:tagging ‘chose not to use warnings’ is an appropriate tag! That tag is a warning all by itself and any reader who chooses to open a link with it accepts up front they are venturing into the unknown. What’s in the bag? Might be a dove, might not. Are you willing to risk it? That’s on the reader, not the author.]

Alternating projects is a time honored creative insanity loop. It’s a good way to feel like you’re still making progress on *something* despite feelings stuck somewhere else, and tends to give the brain a lot of beneath-the-waves kind of time to think about whatever made you annoyed with the first thing. Absolutely give it an ago. Side effects include entirely too many goddamn projects being hoarded like you’re a tiny dragon but also less overall burn out, since you’re cycling through interests. …and if you’re me, that translates to ending up with *squints* eleventy billion stories you wanna tell. Very slowly. Very very slowly. Progress is still progress if it’s spread across projects.

I can’t speak much to repressed Catholicism other than the bog-standard ‘everyone in the USA is culturally christian in the most bonkers way’ but writing seems like a solid place to start working through the box standardized religion crams folk into. Writing is therapy. You’re allowed to like things. You’re allowed to like things other people don’t. There is no inherent morality to fiction; it’s paper dolls and what-if’s and ‘wouldn’t this be fucked up actually?’

Write the smut. Write the darkness. Write the things that make people, that make *you* uncomfortable. And when the voices start trying to chide you, well, maybe point out that it seems like their kink is shaming other people and that’s not your problem.

New pinned post time!! 🏔️🌄🏔️

This is longer than most intros I've done, so I'll leave it under a readmore for all our sakes

You can call me Ann or Bee (although I'm open to other nicknames as well)! I used to be @/chaotic-bumblebee-agenda, but had to switch it up because of a stalker classmate. Funzies :).

My new url is lyrics from the song Sympathy by Declan McKenna, my favourite artist.

I'm a Catholic (@little-lost-daughter is my Chrumblr) high school student who loves all things fantastical and yellow 💛. I like Legos, Webtoons, and fictional firefighters, detectives, and FBI agents.

I'm also a proud member of the Rogue Squadron :)).

@mylovelyrose is where I hoard my aesthetic trinkets and such.

I WILL spam gifsets from my movies and shows at random intervals - most commonly 911, 911: Lone Star, Chicago Fire, Criminal Minds, and White Collar. Be prepared to block tags if they're bothering you.

Characters I am obsessed with an unhealthy amount include: Judd and Grace Ryder, Arrio McKay, Evan "Buck" Buckley, Adam Ruzek, Cole (The Lego Ninjago Movie (but also very much the show)), Blake Gallo, Sam Carver, Commander Gren, Boromir, Bumblebee, Neal Caffrey, and Dean McCoppin. If I get started about any one of them I will Not Shut Up so tread carefully lol.

I write fanfiction and original fiction! My ao3 is sunshineandgoldenbraids, and my writeblr (which I'm still a bit of a lurker on when it comes to original posts) is @all-the-writerly-things. I might be making a new ao3 soon as my stalker knows my first one, and if that happens I will add it here.

I love OC/WIP asks, so never hesitate to send those in (though it might take me a hot couple months minute to get to it)!

My main WIP has the placeholder title The Rising Royals, but I'm really disliking that name, so hopefully I can come up with something better soon.

Ground rules

- No inappropriate/nsfw asks/DMs

- Please don't DM me to be friends unless we're mutuals and have interacted through tags/comments a little bit. I'm sure you have good intentions, but unless you have a specific purpose aside from just chatting, it usually makes me uncomfortable.

That being said,

a) if we're mutuals and are preferably somewhat familiar with each other, feel free to reach out! I love making friends, but I'm too scared to DM people for fear of being annoying lol. So yeah! If that's the case, dw, I will be very happy to hear from you!

b) Asks are fine, whether we're mutuals or not! Questions, ask chains, and kind messages and random comments and such don't bother me in the slightest, no matter how little we know each other :)

Alright, I'll add to this later if I think of anything else to include 👍

*Two-fingered salute* Ann out

Reading List Tag Game

The magnificent @beepbeepsan tagged me to share my reading list, or at least a book rec lol, because like her - I've sadly barely read any books lately!! (thank gosh for fanfiction to keep me reading lol).

So let me break down the list and include two that I would love to read in their entirety, while the rest are some of my absolute faves!

Favorites

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

One of my favorites! I never meant to, but I married a total Mr. Darcy lol. Someone who's got a bit of social anxiety and can come across detached but actually cares a lot and is a lovely gentleman ~

"I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look or the words, which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun."

Persuasion by Jane Austen

I have actually not read the book, only watched the movie! But I love the story so much 😍 It's all about the pining, the yearning and I can literally quote pieces of Wentworth's letter because it makes me melt it's so sweet

"You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope . . . I have loved none but you."

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë

I feel like my top three reveal a pattern of an independent woman falling for a brooding man with more emotional depth than he dares reveal, which leads to mutual pining until it all crescendos in the final act after miscommunication between them make them think for a minute they couldn't be together due to expectations around them, but love wins out when they share they don't care about any of that - they just want to be together. Jane Eyre is no different in that sense, but it's got the added bonus of the gothic settings and creepy backstories and just much more grittier than Austen's books.

"It is as if I had a string somewhere under my left ribs, tightly and inextricably knotted to a similar string situated in the corresponding quarter of your little frame. And if that boisterous Channel, and two hundred miles or so of land some broad between us, I am afraid that cord of communion will be snapt; and then I’ve a nervous notion I should take to bleeding inwardly."

And.

“It is far better to endure patiently a smart which nobody feels but yourself than to commit a hasty action whose evil consequences will extend to all connected with you.”

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

This is one of those books I've partially read but adore too many quotes, movies and overall sentiments to not include on a list! Themes of how much of the past to address, how much to shift, and shed and change - how much to acknowledge are the parts within ourselves we cannot alter, vs the parts we need to heal and grow from. Just yeah, one of MNs fave local author's deserves a spot here 😏

Am I Gatsby? Perhaps:

“It was one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it, that you may come across four or five times in life. It faced – or seemed to face – the whole eternal world for an instant, and then concentrated on you with an irresistible prejudice in your favor. It understood you just as far as you wanted to be understood, believed in you as you would like to believe in yourself, and assured you that it had precisely the impression of you that, at your best, you hoped to convey.”

And.

“So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”

The Collected Tales of Edgar Allan Poe

The Didache Bible by Ignatius Press

I grew up with a father who loved poetry. Mostly British from the 1500s through 1800s, and our bookshelves were filled with various "complete works" and "selections from" but also Americana from the 1700s/1800s. So I really enjoyed reading several stories by Poe in school - but it's the poems that seemed to have left a lasting impression 💕

Is all that we see or seem / But a dream within a dream?

Why yes, I am Catholic lol. I have a few different Bibles I have used both in my theological studies, as well as for Lectio Divina spiritual practices, in my lifetime. Depending on which sort of focus you're seeking I'm happy to share resources :) However it's this one that I've quite enjoyed to use to study Church history - because it features the Catechism as well, to show where the Church has drawn from the source in the last two millenia. And I love being able to compare a passage with the Cathechism on the same page.

I doubt I could ever pick one fave Bible verse, but for tonight, I'll do this one:

"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” - St. John 13:34-35

River Dies of Thirst by Mahmoud Darwish

Two I would like to read

The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

Probably for almost obvious reasons such as the hype - but the general Classical story, Greek Mythology, and gorgeous fanart edits inspired me so much I incorporated various themes and quotes of it into my TOG Big Bang fic a year ago 🤗

"He is half my soul, as the poets say."

I grew up with Americana/British influenced poetry - with a smidge of Germanic as well - so I genuinely had no idea how sweeping, epic, flowery Middle Eastern poetry was! Not until TOG where I learned Joe's van speech is just like who he is lol. Seriously for the last year and a half I've been reading so much of it and though Abu Nuwas, Nizar Quabbani, Hafiz are all tied for very close seconds, so far my favorite has been Mahmoud Darwish.

"And I tell myself, a moon will rise from my darkness."

Thank you again Bee for the lovely tag 💕

I'll tag (though as always no pressure!) @energievie @runbymachinesandclones @heda-of-endlesswonder @ceraunos @amyvalhalla @baladine @shatterthefragments @nerdysuperchick (and of course anyone else who would like to)

Hey I’m looking for the fic based on the Beth/Neil plot from “He’s just not that into you”. Where Bucky wants to get married but Steve doesn’t. Thanks!

Anon 1 said:

hey! there’s this fic i’m trying to find thats basically like steve is an orphan and bucky takes him to his farm to work and bucky is super sullen and rude. all i remember is steve is a catholic, becca is in it and she’s pregnant, and bucky has ptsd, it’s also set in the 1800s i think? thanks a lot!

bworms1980 said:

Hi, I'm looking for a story where Bucky escapes from Hydra early and sees Captain America on TV during the Chitauri invasion I think. He has no memories of being friends with him but goes to Stark Tower to find him to tell him about Hydra. Steve comes back to the tower and finds a guy sitting out front and then sees its Bucky. I think they called Fury to the Tower to tell him and he finds out Pierce is Hydra's leader.

Anon 2 said:

Hi there, I’m looking for a fic that I believe was on AO3 where Steve and Bucky are soulmates. The premise of the fic is that when your soulmate first touches you it leaves a mark and Bucky saves Steve from getting beat up and touches his face causing Steve to get his mark there, he covers it up during most of the time and when he wakes up he takes immense pleasure in the fact the most people didn’t know this about him and the avengers are in it as well. I know tony makes a comment about it.

Anon 3 said:

Hi! I need help finding two fics please! The first one, Steve and Bucky work across from each other, Bucky asks Steve to illustrate some of his work and they eventually move in together and pretend to be married to two other girls so they can live together. The second one, Bucky and Steve are roommates but have never met because Bucky works at night and Steve works at a newspaper stand and he gets sick and Bucky takes care of him

snowpaw1611 said:

Hello! I'd like help finding a fanfiction, please :). Bucky talked with Clint and he made a comment on how if he became a veterinarian, he'd be a double vet. Sorry is this is vague, but it's all I can remember. Thank you so much for your help!

tunblrkilledmyhumor said:

Hi! I am super freaking out because like a year ago I read this fic that I remember really loving, but I only have vague details that I remember. It was in a modern setting, and Bucky basically insists on attending Steve’s missions because Steve throws himself into danger, much to Steve’s displeasure. There’s one mission where a bomb goes off I think and Bucky like saves him. At the end of the fic I’m pretty sure Steve ends up agreeing to stop going on missions. Thank you for all of the work💜

grizzviser said:

hi! i’ve looked for this fic everywhere with no luck. basically steve and bucky meet when bucky is being assaulted by his ex boyfriend. steve was out on a run and he spots them and chases the other guy off. i remember that bucky had to run away from him before, and was a mechanic (i’m not sure tho). steve was ex military and he protects him and lets him stay at his house. in the end, the ex boyfriends finds them and try to kill bucky but steve kills him first. the guy breaks bucky’s jaw

theominouskitten said:

Hey y’all! I’m trying to locate a fic where Bucky is not-really-recovering post-WS in Stark Tower. It’s long, complete, and includes both Steve & Bucky POVs (3rd person I believe). I recall a scene where Steve observes Bucky watching Bruce with a predatory expression while being patched up after a bad episode, and realizes that he’s become his keeper more than his lover. Would also welcome any recs with socio/psychopath Bucky, AU or post-WS. I’ve already exhausted tag searches. Thanks!

notanarrogantclotpole said:

Hey! I’m looking for a fic that I read halfway and ended up losing. It had the tag Dark Steve and Domestic abuse or child abuse (I think) and it was about Steve gaining telekinetic powers (and such) after being experimented on in the middle of a mission in front of Bruce and Tony. I remember some evil company kidnapping him and basically saying they were going to turn him bad because of how fragile his psyche was atm.

Anon 4 said:

Hi there! I’ve looked everywhere for this fic but still can’t find it in any of the tags. I’m pretty sure Steve is in relationship with Modern! Bucky but the Avengers don’t know until bucky helps stop a fight ( i’m pretty he protects some civilians with his metal arm ) and steve makes him board a jet with the other avengers to yell at him? Hope you can help!

Anon 5 said:

Hey I'm looking for a fic. It started pre-war and Steve had trouble getting it up, but would still want to have sex with Bucky, but Bucky always felt bad and kept trying to help him. It then went on to the war and despite the serum Steve still couldn't get hard. At the end I think it was in the modern day and Bucky had figured out that rimming worked, but the ending was kinda short. Any ideas? Thanks!

terrenis said:

Hi, sorry for bothering you. But I'm looking for a fic and I've exhausted all other methods of researching. It's set after CACW and after Bucky goes under ice in Wakanda. Steve goes on some sort of revenge tour, frees the Rogue Avengers and at some point they even discover Pietro alive as a prisoner of Ross. Eventually, all of them, including Bucky end up in Avengers Tower, where they make up with tony and get their happy ending. I really hope, you can help me. Thanks

bribee0299 said:

I'm looking for a soulmate AU. They had the first thing they said to one another. Bucky grew up with something about "dick" on his skin and his sisters teased him constantly once they learned the dirty meaning. Steve and Bucky also met on a beach. Let me know if anyone figures out what I'm talking about. Thanks in advance!

jaytodd1129 said:

Having a real hard time finding this fic I read AGES ago and it was soo good. Steve is a farmboy, if I'm not mistaken. He's also queer. He likes dressing up as a girl sometimes and has a hard time with his stern father. Bucky is the stable boy I think? Anyway his father sends Bucky away and they don't see each other in years until they reunite because of some twist of fate. I remember the writer was called "bees"-something? something-"bees"? Would really appreciate the help!

[oh-great-authoress]

19 for Fandom Asks! :)

Do you have any idea how hard your ask was, Welsh?

This drove me up the wall.

Okay, if I could be a part of any story, which story would I want to tag along in?

Well, it all depends.

Are we talking unadulterated canon stories, or fanfic—but then again, those things are not mutually exclusive.

So, here are the unadulterated canon stories I would love to be in, either to change outcomes myself, or to just enjoy the ride.

1. The Rise of Skywalker. I can save Ben and Armitage. I know I can. I’m a Slytherclaw. I can manage that.

2. Revenge of the Sith. I’m sure I can find a subtle way to convince Anakin that no, Padmè is not going to die in childbirth, yes, Palpatine is totally skeevy, and no, Obi-Wan’s not going to kill you for having a wife. He might be momentarily shocked and maybe a little bit upset, but he’s not going to kill you.

3. Harry Potter. You can bet your bottom dollar that I’d be right there, trying to convince Draco Malfoy to defect, and that I’d be right there at the Shrieking Shack/Boathouse with a bezoar to shove down Severus Snape’s throat, and a wand to intone Vulnera Sanentur three times. (Yes, I like Snape and Malfoy, I’m sorry, sue me, tumblr)

4. Lord of the Rings, but in particular, The Return of the King.

5. It’s not even been released yet, but Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, because Anson Mount’s Captain Pike was awesome, and so were Ethan Peck as Spock, and Rebecca Romijn as Number One, and this show’s definitely going to be awesome.

6. Again, another thing that hasn’t even been released yet, but The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. These two have some of the biggest dumbass energy I’ve ever seen, and I just want to eat popcorn while following Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes.

7. Basically all of the Star Trek Alternate Original Series, but in particular, Star Trek: Into Darkness. If I can’t save the original timeline’s Captain Pike, because his fate is one that is unavoidable, you’re definitely going to find me pulling the the Kelvin Timeline’s Admiral Pike out of the way of that phaser blast. Jim Kirk lost one father, he doesn’t need to lose another.

8. 1995 Sense and Sensibility. Alan Rickman as Colonel Brandon. Enough said.

9. Pride and Prejudice. Again, enough said.

10. Game of Thrones. While I believe that Jaime Lannister went back to King’s Landing to save his sister, not his lover, (since that’s the only way I can wrap my head around that) I’d only be there to set a trap on the Kingsroad, knock his ass out cold, and drag him back to Winterfell.

Now, regarding fanfiction, that’s more difficult. But here are the fanfics I’d like to tag along in, in no particular order, because these are all amazing works. I’m naming non-pairing centric fics, because if I did, this list would be literal miles long, even longer than it already is.

1. When Darkness Seems to Hide This Place by IllyanaA. This fifty chapter epic is a wild ride, but this story kept me so entertained, I barely noticed the chapter count.

2. The whole Lord Vader’s Limpet Saga by frodogenic. This entire AU is just an amazing combo of laughs, feels, and drama. One of my favorite tropes is Admiral Piett is Done With Life, and the story in this AU, Meet the Skywalkers, which chronologically, is the first story in this wonderful AU, is from his point of view, and boy, let me tell you, it really, really delivered with Admiral Piett is Done With Life. I cannot recommend this whole AU more.

3. You Shall Become (Me) by Jedipati. This story was great, and the premise is all too plausible.

4. The Sanctuary AU by Sheankelor. As a Catholic, I loved this story; it was very well-written and the details were dead on, especially when you consider the author does not seem to be Catholic nor Christian.

5. A Riddled Universe by hazeldragon. I love the idea that there’s a universe where Tom Riddle is a good guy.

6. The Thrice Defied Series by Rae Kelly. This was so good, I ate this whole series up in two days.

7. The On The Flip Side series by MusicMelis. This. I am such a sucker for mentor!Severus & Harry fics, and these are good ones.

8. A Second Chance by keyphoenix. See the above.

9. Anakin and the Darkness Within by SsgtC. This is really, really good, with drama, laughs, and details I never thought I needed.

10. Legend of the Lost by Rosaria Marie. I was kinda torn about putting this, because I always cry whenever I read this, but it’s too good not to include.

11. Bonus: A Wolf Amongst Lions by @kallypsowrites . The pairing here is very unusual, (don’t worry, it happens after Arya’s of age) in that it is Arya/Jaime, and at first I wasn’t sold on that, but the story isn’t really centric on that pairing, its main focus is its Arya & Tywin dynamic, which is what really sucked me in, and along the way, to my not-unpleasant surprise, I found myself not minding the Jaime/Arya. I was blown away by how amazingly this story was written, that I faithfully followed whenever the author would upload a chapter. Honestly, it was a highlight of my Thursday, that’s how much liked this fic.

[wendysanderson]

WENDY SANDERSON ( YARA SHAHIDI ) is a 17 year old JUNIOR student at Broadripple Academy. SHE is originally from JAMAICA PLAIN, BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS but moved to Broadripple 1 YEAR ago. SHE is EXCITABLE and EMPATHETIC but can also be CLINGY and IMPATIENT.  

BASICS

Name: Wendy Sanderson

Age: 17

Grade: Junior

House: Keough

Cabin Room: Room 1

How long have they been at Broadripple: Started her sophomore year

Where are they from originally: Jamaica Plain, Boston, Massachusetts

Extra curricular: Chamber Choir, Women of Broadripple, Yearbook (writer), and Broadripple Unsolved

PINTEREST

CHARACTER AESTHETICS

Half-eaten bowls of Lucky Charms, colorful jackets from the local Goodwill, a heavily annotated copy of Mary Oliver’s Devotions, chipped nail polish, a varied collection of sunglasses, the ‘Are You Still Watching?’ Netflix screen, the Arnold Arboretum in bloom in the springtime, a hot cup of fruit tea, snack-based rewards systems, bottles of coconut oil, the communal groan of frustration on the decrepit Orange Line, $2 face masks, and late night Wikipedia deep dives.

TRAITS

Positive Personality Traits: Excitable, empathetic, imaginative, outgoing, affectionate, and generous

Neutral Personality Traits: Talkative, noncommittal, inquisitive, literary, and perceptive

Negative Personality Traits: Clingy, impatient, unreliable, scattered, blabbermouth, and moody

FACTS

About two years ago, Wendy’s family came into a solid chunk of change. Wendy’s mother Bahar is a nurse and caretaker. Over the past decade, she had been taking care of a wealthy elderly man in the Back Bay. When he passed, he unexpectedly left her some money in his will. Wendy’s parents almost immediately decided it would be invested in Wendy’s education. Her dad’s parents wanted her to receive a Catholic one, and her dad wanted Wendy to practice some independence, and so Broadripple came up in their research and she was off. Wendy’s hand in the decision-making process was decidedly minimal.

Wendy enjoys Broadripple in that it’s fun to romanticize a bunch of old buildings. She enjoys creating narratives about and daydreaming of students of the past among the hallowed halls more than she does doing group projects. The school itself is too far-removed from society for her to find it particularly scintillating, but she’s making do! She’s a pretty positive person, though undoubtedly impatient. But she’ll admit it has its other draws. Their reputation is near-flawless—disregarding all that spooky shit, which she personally finds cool and intriguing, since the endless forest has some real The Witch vibes—and it bolsters a lot of interesting clubs and classes she can be a part of. The longer she attends, the more uncomfortable she is with the wealth of her peers, as well as impatient with those she deems rude and snobbish. She also has a habit of falling in love/developing crushes easily, often, and recklessly, and Broadripple certainly doesn’t have a shortage of attractive people. It’s a real gold mine, there.

Wendy’s favorite subject is Literature Analysis. She enjoys it because it is something of a creative outlet; she firmly believes there’s a lot of leeway in how things can be interpreted and she enjoys interpreting things ad nauseam. She particularly likes when they cover poets, but none of that boring classical white guy stuff. She’s more of a Toni Morrison-Mary Oliver-Anne Sexton-Jeanette Winterson-Gwendolyn Brooks type.

HEADCANONS

Wendy misses home a lot. She’s a very sentimental, clingy person. It’s hard for her to be away from the people she loves. Every once in awhile she’ll take a Greyhound back home for the weekend.

Queen of having a wardrobe primarily composed of statement pieces!

Spent nearly the entirety of middle school writing elaborate Jane Austen fanfictions. She is absolutely loyal to Mr. Knightley’s ass! 🙅 Mr. Darcy do not interact.  🙅

[Let’s_Hear_It_For_The_Boy.mp3 on repeat]

Falls in love 5 times a day, yunno.

Writes a lot of poetry that may or may not be good but the poems sure are in abundance!

QUESTIONS ABOUT THE RETREAT

What do they think about The Retreat? Stuck in the middle of the woods in a creaky, old cabin is less than what she hoped for. Born and raised in the city, staying in the actual dorms at BA took a major adjustment period already (the tree frogs and crickets alone heard distantly through her open window on a hot night already kept her up). It’s fun to poke around scary places on campus on the weekend with the BAU, but then it’s also nice to go back to the safe dormitories afterward. All in all, she’s not super psyched to be here but she will try and romanticize tf out of it for as long as she can! And tag along with BAU shenanigans, of course.

Do they have any previous experience with camping or other outdoors? Absolutely none. <3

What does their cabin bunk look like? How will they decorate their space?  Wendy is a proponent of the opposite of minimalism, which is Clutterbitch. She has various knick knacks and pictures and posters, as well as plenty of bins and storage to keep all her products, books, snacks, etc. There is no surface left untouched, let’s say that, and most likely a string of fairy lights somewhere. She also has a couple half-dead plants and a collection of postcards from her sister who travels around the country with the nonprofit she works for.

Do they believe in the supernatural? To what degree? This answer is gonna be a little repetitive irt the first answer above but at this moment in time, yes! And I say “at this moment in time” because she, at the moment, she wants to believe in it. When she was in the school dorms, it seemed like a fun thing to entertain. She’s a curious person and she has a lot of flights of fancy (as dubbed by her parents), so when it came to her attention that there was an unofficial club that explored the spooky past of the school? She was like, sounds fun! :) I wanna be included! :) So I’ll say she genuinely believes in spooky stuff, but not cryptid stuff.

Are they easily spooked? On the whole, surprisingly, no. But again, this environment is very unfamiliar to Wendy. All of her outdoors-y knowledge stems from the time she spends at the Arnold Arboretum in Boston and in/around Jamaica Pond. She grew up in a city and has very little experience outside of it. Unfamiliarity can brew paranoia, but her spooks are more animal (bears, bobcats, fishercats) related than supernatural.

AND FINALLY,

A very dumb but (hopefully) fun quiz made by your admins, please share what result you got

in which no one is surprised <3
