Was scrolling on the internet and saw these

My mind immediately went to @aurumacadicus hc that Carol carries Tony around in an Ikea bag. They're about to go shopping in the first picture. Second pic is human Carol dog sitting Carol the pomeranian. Tony might be in the bag too.

Hey uh. Saw your tags and just wanted to let you know that voting in person is not an option in Oregon lmao. We are mail-in/drop-off only. So keep an eye on the news in case your drop-off box is fire bombed!

Oh, wow! Thank you for the correction, I didn’t know that! I’ll update my tags, and yes, any Oregon residents, check the news today and in the next week—unfortunately, it’s very possible that this will continue.

1980-1987 Saab 900

In before I start seeing people bitching about rainbow capitalism MY favorite rainbow capitalism story is about Subaru. Yes the Japanese car company.

In the nineties, they were struggling. They were competing with a dozen other companies targeting the main demographic at the time: white men ages 18-35, especially after a failed luxury car launch with a new ad agency. “What we need is to focus on niche demographics,” they decided, and then focused on people who enjoyed the outdoors. The Subaru was excellent at driving on dirt roads that many other vehicles couldn’t at the time, so it was perfect for all those off-road campers; they started making all-wheel drive standard in all their cars to help with that. And the people who wanted cars to go do outdoor stuff? Lesbians.

Okay. Of course it wasn’t only lesbians buying Subarus. They’re on the list with educators, health-care professionals, and IT people. But the point is, this Japanese car company interviewed this strange demographic (single, female head of household) and realized one important factor: They were lesbians. They liked to be able to use the cars to go do outdoorsy stuff, and they liked that they could use the cars to haul stuff rather than a big truck or van. Subaru had a choice to make then. They had four other demographics they could market to, after all–the educators, the health-care professionals, IT professionals, and straight outdoorsy couples. Their company didn’t hinge on this one “problematic” demographic.

And they decided “fuck it,” and marketed to lesbians anyway. This included offering benefits to American gay and lesbian employees for their domestic partners, so it didn’t look like a cash grab. (This was not a problem. They already offered those in Canada.)

Yes, there was some backlash. They got letters from a grassroots group accusing them of promoting homosexuality, and every letter said they’d no longer be buying from Subaru. “You didn’t buy from us before, either,” Subaru realized, and ignored them. It helped that the team really cared about the plan, and that they had many straight allies to back them up. There was also some initial backlash when Subaru hired women to play a lesbian couple in the commercial, but they quickly found that lesbians preferred more subtlety; “XENA LVR” on a license plate, or bumper stickers with the names of popular LGBTQ+ destinations, or taglines of “Get out. Stay out.” that could be used for the outdoors–or the closet.

Subaru said “We see you. We support you.” They sponsored Pride parades and partnered with Rainbow Card and hired Martina Navratilova as spokeswoman. They put their money where their mouth is and went into it whole hog. In a time where companies did not want to take our money, Subaru said, “Why not? They’re people who drive.” And that was groundbreaking.

Hellooo I'm sending this ask because I'm obsessed with this topic but: Your grandmother learned a different type of cursive from you which is why you might have trouble reading it. The style of cursive has changed over time, so some of the letters are literally different from how you learned them: Pre-sixties was looped cursive, post-sixties was cursive italics, and in the 2000s was a weird either-or of like four different distinct types of cursive. Okay bye <3

That's very true! 83 I wonder why it changed over time though. Like, my mom's cursive is that pre-sixties kind of looped sort of cursive, easy to read. Grandma's was so small and slanted and everything looks like it runs together. The wild thing is, I used to be able to read it well. Like, I'd sit there and watch her writing her letters to her penpals and everything, and I could read what she wrote in her birthday cards. Same with my grandpa and my other set of grandparents. Strangely dad's cursive was a little more blocky, but maybe that was just him... I remember getting a letter from a gal I know from the goat world, she's in her eighties. It wasn't long ago that I got her letter and opened it up and thought it was one long scribble until I realized it was grandma cursive, lololol, it took me SO LONG to remember how to read it, and I had to tap my bestie to help me translate it. CURSIVE IS COOL, MAN

Tony in Lingerie: A Rec List

@frankthesnek asked for a few recs of Tony wearing lingerie, and I've been wanting to do a new stevetony rec list for ages so here's a list of some of my faves (and some that I've written):

Written by Me *note: if a stevetony fic by me is rated E, odds are it has Tony in lingerie, but these are the ones that are more than just a throwaway line*

At Your Feet: Tony's been gone for two months dealing with SI emergencies. But he's finally coming home and Steve, for one, can't wait to see him again.

I Found a Love For Me: Steve comes home to find Tony waiting for him with a surprise.

Your Darkened Eyes: When Steve goes back to Peggy, he doesn't go back in time the way Scott thought he had. Instead, he steps into another universe. But the problem is, this universe has a Steve Rogers too and he isn't happy that Steve stole his life away from him. *note: contains underage content*

Models and Other Odd Things You'll Find on Craigslist: Artist Steve needs a model for his Erotica in Art class. Tony volunteers. *note: contains no sexual content*

It's Gotten Too Darn Hot: Tony and Steve have some fun with ice while the A/C isn't working.

I Know Places: Mob boss Steve kidnaps Tony after Howard makes a mistake that gets Steve's people killed. *note: contains underage content*

Treacherous: 5 times Steve and Tony fucked at someone else's wedding and one time they fucked at one of theirs

Bambi: The most feared mob boss in New York wants to prove a point to his people by fucking the prettiest little whore in the entire city right in front of them.

Written by Others:

For Your Eyes Only by SarahHBE: Every soldier looks forward to mail call. But Alpha Steve Rogers gets a big surprise with the letter his Omega, Tony Stark, has sent him.

Babydoll, Cover Me by @aurumacadicus: Steve and Tony, two of the most popular omega lingerie models, are pretending to date to keep alphas off of Tony's back. It's depressingly necessary. *note: contains no sexual content* **second note: go through author's fics on tumblr because there's tons of tony in lingerie content, all very delicious**

inspired by @areiton: Steve is a silver fox and Tony is a thirsty twink and we all know how this is gonna end.

How Easy You Are To Need by Robin_tCJ: The only thing Tony can move is his head, which he does. He bends it just enough to look back over his shoulder, past where his legs are tied spread open, ankles bound to his thighs. Steve is still sitting in his chair behind Tony, seemingly uninterested in the sight before him.

Gonna dress you up in my love by S_horne: Written for National Nylon Stockings Day

Just Like This by BlossomsintheMist: Steve and Tony share Valentine's Day together, and Steve wants to make a point.

Seeing Stars by BlossomsintheMist: Tony gives Steve a ride (and a few more things). *note: check out author's fics on ao3 for the most amazing porn in the fandom*

Must Be True by @avengersnewb: When the stakes are too high, Tiberius Stone offers his omega, Tony, as a little side incentive to close important business deals. Tonight’s business is an arms deal with the Avengers, and the alpha they’re meeting is Captain America.

@novemberhush tagged me in this <3!

here is the twitter thread for it, or the website you can use if the twitter page isn't working.

the main thing is though I actually HATE being in the spot light lol but that said, most of these actually fit me really well.

I have tons of inside jokes with my friends, I like knowing things be it drama or or just basic information (I grew up religious nobody knows drama or gossip better then religious women).

But I'd say just for funsies this was pretty cute!

@ifdragonscouldtalk Every time I post something Star Trek people trawl my tag and the Bird Spones caused a lot of 'wait Rei writes Star Trek?' and unfortunately for you this is under that tag lmao my regerts

@aurumacadicus i love ur rut idea and wanna raise you to a different fandom because i constantly have omegaverse Thoughts

Imagine spock, technically an omega but functionally... a vulcan, who have ever different sexes/genders than humans, and so has experienced one (mild) heat and many mild suppression shots, and jim, big (lol) bad (nah) alpha (this is true) of the ship (most people would actually say this is scotty) beginning a very sweet relationship. Spock ain't no blushing virgin but okay he's not super adventurous and maybe vulcan has different views of sex than earth and maybe he just enjoys how loved and sweet jim makes him feel when they engage coitous ("we make love spock, please") so maybe it slips his mind the finer points of human sexuality for awhile until jim starts getting weirdly aggressive and territorial.

Okay, this is fine, he can handle this!! A rut can't be that different than pon farr, and even a strong human like jim cant hurt him too badly without serious effort. He can totally handle this. :) (he is both scared and horny.) "Spock, buddy, I'm gonna have to lock you two in," Bones tells him, and he thinks haha, another funny human joke! ... right? Only Bones is dead serious, and normally maybe he wouldve laughed but he kinda wants spock to actually know what he's getting into.

"Pardon?"

"I can lock your door too, if you don't want him getting in there and scenting and destroying everything. Yknow, the one in the bathroom?" Spock isn't sure how to answer. Bones keeps going. "You might want access though, in case you need to nest. His rut might trigger your heat, yknow? It's HIGHLY unlikely, but you might want that safety net, if you don't mind some ripped pillows. We can move the breakables now if we're fast enough and he doesnt hear me with you."

Turns out Jim is one of those alphas who's kicking snarling growling grabbing breaking in a rut and Bones had to deal with his territorial bullshit all through the academy. Luckily Bones never keeps anything of value anyway. Spock thinks Bones expects him to be scared by this, but instead something ancient and unknown to him in his vulcan blood purrs and stretches at the thought that he should willingly be allowed to go in that territory and be part of it.

Spock learns A LOT of things about himself during Jim’s rut :)

5 Music Tumblr Tag Game

I got tagged by @serenescribe! It's been so long since I've seen tag games, let alone get tagged in one, this is very exciting :)

Rules are: post 5 songs you actually listen to, and tag 10 of your followers/mutuals.

(I know it's been a long while since I did any tag games, but I do have a very certain memory of tag games snowballing into not getting enough people to tag - since many that I know also know each other - that it got very chaotic and overwhelming, so I'm only tagging people that I have asked and are okay with it :) )

1: Mr. Blue Sky by Electric Light Orchestra - I found this through one of the animated short videos on youtube lol, I don’t quite remember which fandom. But when the “clang” sound happens, it just brings my heart rate up /pos and makes me want to dance in excitement. I love the energy of this song, I love it.

2: Dream Sweet in Sea Major by ミラクルミュージカル(Miracle Musical) - A long time ago, in a game called Event [0], I heard a song I immediately loved, and I didn’t really remember what the game was, or the name or the lyrics of said song that I really wanted to find, so I started to plug in keywords I could think of to try to find it. Instead, I found this song. It wasn’t what I was looking for, but it hooked me right in with the intro “Alone at the edge of the universe, humming a tune”. It felt right, and although now I have found the actual tune I was looking for, this remains one of my favorite songs to encounter in my playlists.

3: Piano Man by Billy Joel - A classic. It makes me sad when I listen to it, having heard that this is Billy Joel’s least favorite song, having been asked to play it every single time he’s invited somewhere to perform; a song that many reviews and comments have said that it soothes their hurt, that it’s their favorite. Idk, makes me think about the dichotomy.

4: Mr. Loverman by Ricky Montgomery - It’s a song I pretty much fell in love with immediately; I love the repetition of rhymes of “I’m mister loverman” and “I miss my lover, man” chorus, and the way they keep missing their lover, I think it’s a very sweet song <3

5: creature by half·alive - a beautiful song that makes me think about creation, and in turn being a creation (my religious upbringing coming through), about trusting and loving the hand that molds - whether it be me, or my own creation. Listening to this song makes me take a breath in the moment, and think about what I appreciate and thank in creators (artists, writers, filmmakers, dancers, musicians, etc). Both in theological and physical. I love you and am thankful for your skills, your mind and passion that create. You all are amazing and awe-some.

Marvel Halloween Rec Week 2024 - Gen Fic Friday

October is over but it's still Halloween week here! Today's recommendations are some of my favorite spooky gen stories I read this year.

dark underground//violent sky by bereft_of_frogs (@bereft-of-frogs) (Gen, Explicit, 22,128 words)

Summary: (not quite an) All-Human AU The moment Loki Odinson turns eighteen, he runs. He moves to the city, gets a terrible job and a worse apartment. He ignores all attempts by his mother and brother to contact him. (His father doesn’t even try.) But then, a year later, he begins to hear something. Something coming from the empty apartment next door. All is not what it seems. This is not the story you think it is.

Stark's Monster by Entwinedlove (@ivyentwined) (Gen, Teen And Up Audiences, 926 words)

Summary: There was no telling what would happen to the man that would step into the Machine but Stark was sure the Brass would have some use for it.

More below the cut!

take up arms, take my hand (let us waltz for the dead) by GrimRevolution (Gen, Teen And Up Audiences, 2,211 words)

Summary: There are many relics in the Sanctums. They choose their masters, offering up their services to those who gain their loyalty. Perhaps someone should have warned Stephen Strange that the Sanctum was a relic. That it, too, can choose its loyalty.

Buchanan by itshysterekal, seapigeon (Gen, Mature, 29,216 words)

Summary: It’s just a computer, he began to repeat to himself. It’s a machine. It doesn’t actually hurt. Steve isn't perfect, but he's pretty sure he doesn't deserve to be trapped in a house by an eerily advanced AI and its psychopathic creator as an involuntary test subject. The high tech prison seems impossible to escape, but maybe, just maybe he can teach this AI named Buchanan right from wrong. The trouble is, Steve's never met a computer that he wants to save in return.

Specter Deflector by Reioka (@aurumacadicus) (Gen, General Audiences, 604 words)

Summary: Natasha learns that the man she's supposed to kill can see ghosts, too.

The Lies That Contain Us by whizzy (Gen, Teen And Up Audiences, 6,960 words)

Summary: His life feels like Buck Rogers with a reel from The Phantom Creeps spliced in the middle.
