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

Commission for @aurumacadicus for her fic Sincerely, Yours - please go read it if you haven't, it's fantastic♥

Thank you, I love love working on fic comms♥

@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 :)

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.

SUPER BOOP?!

@aurumacadicus Howwwwww

[sea-owl]

Me: *browsing and skimming friend's comics*

Comic: And here is a scene where Tony Stark says, "Therapy is not enough. I need to fight my dad," and proceeds kicks an alternate Howard Stark's ass in and out of the suit

Me: GOOD FOR HIM!

@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!

WI Discord Event - All That Glitters Prompt List

Here’s a list of potential WinterIron  (Bucky x Tony) prompts I’ve had squirreled away for awhile -- if any of these are something you want me to actually try writing, please let me know!

 Strip Poker trope/AU -- high rollers bring proxies to strip on their behalf - usually sex workers of some sort - Tony and Natasha have an arrangement she indulges in her exhibitionist streak -- Russian oligarch brings Yasha - his metal arm intrigues Tony, who starts playing for keeps. (idea originally inspired by Aurumacadicus on Tumblr)

“Pass me that plate of madeleines - it’s gonna be a bumpy ride.” Yes, somehow my insomniac mind wants to combine Proust’s À la recherche du temps perdu (which I’ve never even read) with a MCU fanfic where Tony uses BARF to help Bucky recover memories

Talking the Talk (sickfic, magic, aromantic) Bucky has no idea why he's been given the power to heal with a kiss, considering he has absolutely no desire to kiss anyone. But he'll be damned if he lets this gift go to waste. Especially once he learns what Tony’s arc reactor is doing to him.

modern!Bucky & eccentric!Tony (maybe Iron Man, maybe not) Your Uber passenger was a little odd, but you still gave them the usual farewell: “If you enjoyed the ride, make sure you say thanks with five stars!” A few days later, you receive a nicely worded thank you letter in the mail along with a deed to the entire constellation of Cassiopeia.  (courtesy of  @writing-prompt-s)
