#There are so many talented people in this fandom

Just found out this post (as well as some others) escaped the confinement of Tumblr, and I've actually inspired a few fics cus of it. That actually really made my day. As much as I am just a weirdo on this app, I'm glad I've contributed and helped artists in this fandom, especially with a character I adore so much.
Idk, I felt like saying this, as we 100% do need more positivity in this fandom. Despite all the issues I see on here at time, I'm glad to have met so many talented and funny people through here. I'm glad to also see all the laughs I've brought from my shitposting as well!
You think if Rook or Lavellan had Elgar'nan's Vallaslin, he'd grab them by the face while fucking them just to look at the work? You think he'd mock them, saying that the very God they worshipped is now taking them on the floor like an animal? That the very markings on their face is proof they're his property?
I need that freaky bitch in my life đ

On occasion, I swear I get undertones from the side of the fandom that liked the season 5 finale that âif you didnât enjoy it, you must not be smart enough to understand itââŠ
But⊠thatâs kind of a really stupid argument?
Is this not a TV show intended for 5-12 year olds? If the writing is too complicated for a grown adult to understand, then they have failed at writing a good kids show. Point blank period.
You can write a good kids show that has elements that go right over the kids heads, but those elements should be subtle bonuses that mildly improve the story. They should not be a key part of the overall message. A great little example is this scene from Bluey where the titular character finds an obnoxious "lost" toy hidden under the sink in the laundry room:
youtube
Adults and older kids watch this scene and immediately get why the toy was under the sink, but little kids probably miss it. That's not a problem because the sink thing is just a bonus joke that is not vital to the message of this episode. If the sink joke was vital to understanding the message, then the writers would have failed at their job because they wrote something too subtle for the intended audience.
That's why I'm so critical of everything Miraculous is doing. Even if there's ultimately going to be an amazing story here, they've failed to tell it in a way that the intended audience can engage with and that makes the story objectively bad no matter how good it is for older viewers. The lessons should be obvious. The jokes should be obvious, too. There should be no question about what the message is.*
The season five ending is a perfect example of why Miraculous is objectively bad for its intended audience. Lets say that season six is going to address all of the issues with Gabriel and tell us that he was an abusive monster. How powerful is that lesson going to be to the five-year-old who grows out of the show in the year between season five ending and season six airing? What about the kid who obsessively rewatches seasons one to five in the hiatus between seasons and internalizes the happy ending? Or the kid who only watches the show casually and doesn't remember most of the early seasons by the time their issue are addressed?
Obviously those kids won't walk away with a great lesson, which is why shows aimed at kids usually make their morals clear by the end of every episode. Complex morals told over seasons are a bad fit here. Kids in the show's intended age group are only just starting to really learn about the complexities of the world. They generally don't have the life experience to question the show's morals.
That's not to say that shows for kids can't have cliffhangers. The cliffhangers just need to be about the story, not the morals. Season four was a good example of this. While I don't think it was a great final, it did have a clear message. It ends with Ladybug stating what she'd supposedly done wrong - even if season four didn't actually have her do what she said she did - and the question was only what would she do now. There was no moral ambiguity about what happened. Every episode of Miraculous should feel that way, but the show often fails at this. There's way to much ambiguity for a kids show. The fact that many adults can't tell if Gabriel was evil or not is a terrible sign!
*I will note that even perfectly clear messages can be twisted into baffling shapes by viewers of all ages and people will read into things in ways that leave even talented writers scratching their heads. The pigeon thing comes to mind as a good, Miraculous-based example of poor media literacy. So I wouldn't go so far as to say that a kids show is always bad if adults misinterpret things. It depends on how widespread the misinterpretation is and how logical the misreading is. The season five ending is a good example of a true issue because it's played like a happy ending. It's not weird that some people took that at face value while others are waiting for the other shoe to drop. Only time will tell which side is right, which should not be the case when we're dealing with content like the widespread manipulation of an abuse victim in a show aimed at children. That should be presented as unequivocally wrong. Instead, the lies lead to a kiss and happy smiles.

Eight Stucky Fic Quotes/Lines/Moments That I Cannot Stop Thinking About
A somewhat non-standard rec list.
I've read a lot of brilliant and beautiful fic in this fandom, and a lot of those stories stayed with me long after I read them. There are also some very specific little moments/lines/paragraphs in a handful of fics that are burned into my brain. These are moments that have lived in my head rent-free since I first read them.
Those moments/lines come from the eight fics on this list. These eight fics are also among my very favorite fics. (I can't actually rank my favorites. I have a lot more than eight, and I love them all.) So, I thought this post would be a fun and hopefully interesting way to highlight/celebrate some of the amazing writing in this fandom and to talk about a few fics I love.
All fics on this list are fics I first read at least three months ago, so all these moments are ones I've been thinking about (a lot) for a while.
(Moments are context/spoiler-free for anything that's not already in tags/summaries.)
offer me that deathless death by canistakahari
(Explicit | 10,565 words)
(Fun fact: This is also the first fic about these two that ever made me cry! It still upsets me when I reread it. In the best possible way.)
The moment:
âNothing. Nothingâs gotten into me,â Bucky says quickly. âJust wantedâŠâ He makes an empty gesture between them. âI just wanted something good.â
Steveâs irritation passes like a cloud over the sun. âWill you tell me whatâs wrong?â
âEverything,â says Bucky. âAll of it. Not you, though.â He tangles their fingers together. He will remember this, on every single morning that sees fit to reset the universe. He wonât lose the best thing heâs got.
Steve squeezes his hand and sets his jaw. Heâs unhappy, still, but he doesnât give voice to that lingering urge to fuss.
âYouâre the only thing thatâs right,â says Bucky. âOkay? You are, Steve.â
Lane Lines by Sparkagrace @sparkagrace
(Mature | 132,519 words)
(This fic is a journey and every emotional moment â including the one below â is hard-earned. It's stunningly done and so, so satisfying.)
The moment:
âIâm scared of whatâs out there too. Iâll hold your hand, Buck.â He says. âConey Island, remember?â
Bucky huffs and shakes his head, wiping at his eyes. âSteve, thatâs kids stuff. We were drinking.â
Steve holds out his hand in front of them to prove him wrong: palm up and open. Bucky studies his hand, trying to gauge how serious Steve is, before tentatively placing his own in Steveâs. Buckyâs fingers are cold so Steve curls his fingers around the hand, securing them in place.
Steve doesnât say anything else and the two of them sit in silence for a few minutes, hands clutched. Steve feels the warmth returning to Buckyâs fingers, and his breathing begins to steady and even out. He wonders why they didnât do this before because even he begins to feel a blanket settling over his own nerves, grounding himself.
Strangers in the Street by Crinklefries
(Teen | 15,304 words)
(How do the rules of time travel/alternate timelines work in the MCU? Does the MCU even know? Does it matter? Not really. What matters is that this fic involves timeline travel, and it's gorgeous. That's all you need to know.)
The moment:
Steve looks sad at that, just hopelessly, interminably sad.
âYou know me,â Bucky says, searching Steveâs eyes. He canât see a lie there; maybe Steve isnât capable of it, maybe he doesnât know how to, not to Bucky. Steve nods. âI know you too. How do I know you?â
âIâm Steve and youâre Bucky,â Steve says. âI would know any iteration of you, in any timeline, in any universe.â
Bucky canât lie either. He doesnât know why this is true, but he knows that it is.
He twines their fingers together, watches Steve watch him as he brings their hands to his mouth and kisses them.
Calico Skies by musette22 @musette22
(Explicit | 52,618 words)
(This fic just has so much warmth to it. It's comforting and incredibly romantic and I love it so very much. Even thinking about this fic makes me smile.)
The moment:
Their eyes meet, and for a moment, time seems to be suspended. Bucky can see the moment it clicks: Steveâs face goes from blank to shocked in the span of a few seconds, and then his expression crumbles. Buckyâs heart contracts painfully at seeing Steve looking so young, so utterly vulnerable. Before he knows whatâs happening, Steve has dropped his bag and is all but running over to him, crossing the landing deck in a few long strides. Bucky feels himself break out into a watery smile. He opens his arms, just in time for Steve to throw his entire 6â4â super body into them.
Bucky lets out an oooff and stumbles backwards, arms wrapping around Steve to hold onto him as tightly as possible. Putting his strength to good use, Steve manages to keep them both from tumbling to the floor, burying his face in the crook of Buckyâs neck as he repeats his name over and over.
âYouâre alright,â Bucky tells him, lifting a hand to cup the back of Steveâs head. âYouâre okay, Steve.â
Take Your Time Coming Home by odetteandodile
(Explicit | 13,047 words)
(A fic that manages to be both a prewar fic and an AU. There's letter writing! They were roommates! I'm so desperately fond of this one.)
The moment:
He rises that first evening only to shower and eat and read the brief, precious note waiting for him on the kitchen counter. It reads, simply:
Steve, with all my heart Iâm glad it was you.âBucky
Lonesome no more by dharmasharks @dharmasharks
(Explicit | 7,539 words)
(The achingly tender, soft, and beautifully written Wakanda fic we all need in our lives.)
The moment:
âCan we try to do this? Just this?âÂ
A breath passes between them. Bucky lifts his hand to Steveâs neck. Then he leans in.Â
Steve doesnât really have the most favorable associations with this sort of thing. He remembers being sort of terrified. Or intimidated. Or obligated.Â
But kissing Bucky is nothing like that. Itâs only soft and warm. And safe.Â
Heâs still living inside it for a second, after Bucky pulls back. It occurs to him how small a space that was to cross, those few inches between their faces. Why did he convince himself back then, for all those years, that it was an impossible, unreachable distance?Â
Targeting by queenmab_scherzo
(Explicit | 149,148 words)
(I'm obsessed with the way this fic manages to so closely parallel canon â while making it about football. Obsessed.)
The moment:
In the ensuing silence, Steve clears his throat and squares his shoulders, bracing himself for the next part.
"Can ⊠Can I still call you Bucky?"
He turns to fully face Steve. There is a small crease between his eyes, the only marker that betrays any emotion in his otherwise neutral mask.
"Yeah," he says. His lips barely move. "What else would you call me."
Steve feels as if an ocean wave has just crashed into his lungs. The bluntness of the statementâwhat could otherwise come across as curt and standoffishâis actually what makes Steve so happy.
What else would you call me.
Steve shakes his head, opens his mouth, closes it, and opens it again, floundering. "I don't know," he admits. He feels like an idiot, but he can't stop grinning. "Yeah. I don't know."
Not Easily Conquered by dropdeaddream, WhatAreFears
(Mature | 117,692 words)
(NEC feels like s very obvious choice for a list like this, and for good reason. I'm ending on a classic. It's often the letters themselves that are quoted/mentioned â also for good reason! And, believe me, those swim in my brain too, they do. But, for me, the thing I'll never stop thinking about? The moment in this fic that moved into my brain? It's this one here.)
The moment:
âHow you been?â says a voice, a voice like Brooklyn at sunset; like the curl of cigarette smoke above base camp in France.
âBuck.â
âDonât hit the light.â
Steve doesnât, standing with his fist knuckling white around the kitchen countertop. The dark figure stands from the chair Cagney sat in and Bucky walks to him. His face comes into the light from the hallway. He wears a ball cap and a tattered blue surplus coat and his hair hangs lank down to his shoulders. Thereâs more beard on his face than during the winter of 1944. Steve feels a rushing in his head, and a strange displacement in time. This is because it simply ceases to exist. Itâs 1938, or 1941, or 2009; he doesnât know, it doesnât matter. There is a dimple in Buckyâs chin. Steve feels a snap inside himself. Bucky is before him. He grabs at Steveâs neck as if to hold him up, as though one of them might fall, and he cups at it roughly, his own mouth twisting.
âHey, you,â Bucky says, rough.
âGod,â Steve gasps, and his knees almost buckle. Buckyâs right hand is big and calloused and familiar, his thick square fingers hot on Steveâs skin. Steve grasps his arm. âHey. Hey, Buck.â
âThatâs me,â Bucky says, and Steve lets out a hysterical, gasping laugh. âReally me. Or mostly me.â

Not to get into shipping discourse but its INSANE how popular Curly and Anya are?? I dont understand, Curly literally jeopardized the entire crews safety by allowing Jimmy onboard fully knowing what kind of person he is
He really can't care that much about his crew's wellbeing, namely Anya, his literal first thought after she told him about her pregnancy/assault was hm!! How can i make this all blow over i cant let my number one dude bro get in trouble AGAIN!" He doesn't care about her!! I don't understand the ship maybe im too woke, i like their dynamic post-explosion but not as a romantic thing
And then I don't even wanna talk about Jimmy and Curly shippers they're too far gone
#mouthwashing#i hate shipping discourse#minus weird shipping sometimes i really love this fandom#most people genuinely understand the characters and writing its so refreshing#also so many talented people

Your Favourite Author's Favourite Fic
in no way is this me sneakily trying to get fic recs out of people, but here's my new tag game!
Rules! When tagged, reblog with the fic you've written that you love the most
Not the fic with the most kudos, or the most comments, or the most hits, but the fic that you're the most proud of. I'm talking about the story that kept you up at night, the one that you still think about, the one that you wish more people would read
So, it's time to show off! I strongly encourage - in fact, I demand - that you give yourself some compliments, a well-deserved pat on the back, and tell us all the reasons why it's your favourite!
Then tag five people and make them go through it, too đ„°đ©·
I'll tag @wolfjackle, @tourettesdog, @gilbirda, @die-erlkonigin6083, and @thewritingowl to get us started, please and thank you!!

I think on this fine Saturday afternoon it's a good opportunity to take a breather and remember that there are really no ethical paparazzi pictures. Every single one is inherently exploitative.
Just because photos were taken on a movie set, when someone is 'working,' does not make the practice any less invasive and creepy. Imagine just going about your day, doing your job and having some weirdo snapping pictures of you to sell without your consent for others to endlessly repost online.
There are thousands of pictures of your favourite actor online already. Plenty taken with his knowledge and consent. I'd really like to see more of them on my dash, rather than the creeper shots.
And don't get me started how disseminating these pictures directly leads to people going to said sets. What starts off as admiring how good someone looks has real world implications.
No, hanging around a movie set and disrupting people doing their jobs is not harmless fun or a way to show your appreciation.
If you hang around a movie set, you are a stalker.
Don't tell me that it's okay to take your online admiration for someone offline. You may admire him but he does not, and will never, personally know you. He will never be your friend/boyfriend/daddy. He is a stranger.
The only way meeting your favourite actor is going to happen is at a convention or maaaaaybe a movie premiere if you're incredibly fortunate. You know, places they appear specifically to meet fans (or not in the case of premieres, where the purpose is to promote a movie. Which is also completely understandable if actors don't stop. You are not owed an interaction).
Of course, you cannot help it if you randomly run into someone you admire in the wild. Even then, consider that they probably won't be all too thrilled to be approached in public by a complete stranger. It's up to you to gauge the situation, but remember there is a person at the heart of all of this.
Boundaries and respect are a kindness which deserves to be extended to each and every human being regardless of their looks/talent/fame/wealth.
Fandoms blur those lines a little too often for my liking and I think just scrutinising what you're interacting with, or what behaviour you could be possibly falling down that slippery slope towards is nice to do every once in a while.
I mean no malice with this post and it is not directed at anyone in particular. It's something I cannot help but feel strongly about because I've seen this destructive cycle time and again in fandoms over the years. It's not healthy and it makes us all a little bit more disconnected from our humanity for it...
#not naming names but....... screw it#pedro pascal#pedro pascal fandom#accepting you will never interact with or meet this man will set you free from misery and jealousy i promise#he's great! if you think he's great watch another movie! write about a character! edit some photos of him! make gifs!#there are many MANY ways to engage with his work which don't include reposting creepy invasive photos taken without his consent#it's bs that this is just 'part of the job' because WHY... why should it be any different than any other job??#i know we always venerate talent and put people on pedestals.... that's a tale as old as time#but seeing him blow up last year was wild to witness and some of the behaviour from newer fans is very disheartening to see#he's just a human who poops and farts and is a dick sometimes like the rest of us. let's not treat him like a god thanks#spud rants#a lot LOL#i've bottled this up for a bit because the way this developed in real time to people actually going to the set is. what#and don't 'if pedro was in your city' because NO??? i wouldn't STALK SOMEONE? there's 0 justification for it#i have far better things to do than stalk people#i may be an autistic flop but i'm not a CREEPY STALKER autistic flop thanks x#anyway like i said this is truly not @ anyone in particular and i don't think you are a terrible person if you interacted with the photos#but please just remember there is a person at the heart of all this#a very talented and attractive person yes... but a person all the same#i would truly hate to be famous it gives me so much anxiety just the thought of the constant scrutiny#good thing i never will be LOL#fandom wank#discourse

Can I just add that Zuko is much much more than his romantic relationships? Like forget Zutara, Maiko, Jinko, or even Zukka. They're all great ships, don't get me wrong, but the way Zuko picks himself up every time he falls and eventually ended up being close to azula's equal in the final Agni Kai, should be talked about more. You have to remember that he was considered a very dull kid compared to azula, his talents paled in comparision to her, he didn't shoot blue lightning like she did, yet he was able to sustain the fight for SO long that even azula began to feel inferior.
He was born as a "dull" kid with "no spark" according to ozai, he was a considerably slow learner compared to Azula, and had to work twice as hard as her to get to azula's "basic" level. He had to watch as his sister was being put in a pedestal and most likely had to listen to people badmouthing him as being "not worthy" enough to be a ruler.
Yet he never gave up?? It's easy to give up in his situation considering that he'd been belittled by his dad and sister his whole life, heck, he'd been PUBLICALLY humiliated by him. Yet he had the resilience to prove his worth.
He has a backbone of fucking steel that really inspires me tbh.
#Like I relate to Zuko's personality in scary levels. I am also considered a dull child with âno sparkâ within me#I wasn't a fast learner or had natural aptitude for stuff that many people had. People told me that they saw no passion or âfireâ in me.#And some of my cousins are exceptionally talented and bright like azula#And I've always had low self esteem because of that#But seeing Zuko reach the heights of success by never letting those insults belittle him is just great and improved my perception#Makes me happy knowing that so many people in the fandom really like a character who's morally similar to me#atla#avatar the last airbender#prince zuko#atla zuko#zuko#aang#sokka#katara#toph beifong#the gaang#princess azula#azula#iroh#uncle iroh
