Iconic Bracket - Round 4 - Semi Finals - Side A
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Propaganda under the cut
Kass
He is SO FLOOF and MY FRIEND and I miss him and his (not accordion) bandoneon playing and he's just a pretty blue birdie who is also A Dad of 5 girlies. Anyway, I MISS HIIM.
His theme is a banger and he gives you advice and helps Link out in the shrine quest and he plays really cool music. He's also a BBB, big beautiful bird. 🥰🥰
King Dedede
Penguin man
DDD is so funny in general
Revali
We love a cocky blue asshole bird
Smug tsundere bird who's not very good at masking his giant crush on Link who actually works really hard to get some recognition and is vastly misunderstood by the majority of the fandom. The fact that he has no living relatives but still fights to protect his home. Instead of requesting for a statue built in his honor or whatever after winning a tournament, he wanted a training ground (the Flight Range) for the Rito children or anyone to train so that they can become stronger. He’s only mean to Link because he thinks Link was handed his Champion title because he could wield the Master Sword, while Revali had to work his whole life just to get to where he is. Anyway, he will be missed, Hylian Pine Cones just aren't the same.

Fave Long Fics
good ol' @arahir is asking for everyone's fave long fics, so here are mine!
sorry if the rambling is a bit long, I just want to express my love <3
����: denotes a fic that belongs in the literary equivalent of the Louvre-- a stunning piece of writing even outside of its contribution to the fandom
JJBA
🌟 scheherazade -- shylittleghost; Josuke/Okuyasu-centric, but multiple POVs; canon-compliant prequel/sequel to part 4, necessary to read/watch part 4 to understand
this is one of those fics that not only elevates the original work in several ways, but it's a stunning piece of writing as a whole. the flow and tone of the piece is so unique and difficult to describe, with a fitting balance between mystery/horror and deadpan humor, and uses the narrating voice to play with the 4th wall in a really fun and satisfying way. oh, and one of the last chapters is a little RPG game, adding a bit little multimedia twist <3
BEASTARS
🌟 Mongrels and Strays series (mainly Mongrels and Lockjaw)-- HassouToby; technically Mongrels' primary ships are Legosi/Haru and Louis/Juno, but it's more genfic with multiple POVs. Lockjaw is Pina/Riz-centric; canon divergence from ch 156 of the manga, so it's necessary to read at least that far to understand
I have a complicated love/hate relationship with Beastars, but this fic honestly retroactively makes Beastars a better experience, imo. it not only enhances the source material, but engages and challenges its implications in ways that I frankly think Beastars itself failed to, introducing a new final antagonist, new thematic tension, and new challenges for the main characters to face. more than anything though, Mongrels feels like what the end of Beastars should have been. this fic isn’t afraid to up the stakes and have actual consequences, making the central conflict feel like a real threat to both individual characters and society as a whole. this fic is intense and brutal, and it’s not afraid to make the characters you love hurt
Homestuck
🌟 Detective Pony -- sonnetstuck; Dirk-centric(??); it's an extension of a one-off joke in the comic, but it's not necessary to know HS to read it (but it's def more satisfying if you're at least familiar with the Alpha kids)
does this fic even need to be stated, for any HS fan? this is a classic of classics, the best rec any HS fan could give. a fic that starts off with a goofy joke from the original comic (a Pony Pals kid's book that Dirk has edited with silly commentary), which gradually snowballs into a much deeper story. a stunning piece of writing, I rank it among the best works of metafiction literature of all time. this fic does an incredible job of imitating Hussie's writing style (specifically Dirk's voice) and the multi-media presentation of HS, it almost feels like it popped straight out of the comic
Endangered -- Mortior; Dirk/Hal, Dirk-centric; robot-apocalypse AU, not necessary to know anything about HS
rly fun au, and one of my fave whump fics, for any whump fans out there. it's also one of my favorite depictions of an AI personality, like the approach to relationships and perceptions feels believable
The Magnus Archives
🌟 Two Ships Passing -- pyrites; Gerry Keay/Jon Sims-centric; a canon-divergent au starting before canon which slightly shifts the flow of the original story, so it's not strictly necessary to be familiar with TMA, but it helps
I must admit I never got around to finishing this one after it finished updating (😭), but trust me when I say this fic is stunning. some scenes still grip me 'round the throat to this day even just thinking about them. and the additional lore/background-building for certain characters is so so fitting and satisfying, it adds so much depth
To The Moon and Back series (main fic is Banned Book Week) -- verboseDescription; several different POVs, though BBB is Gerry/Tim-centric; the main fic diverges from canon after season 3, so I suppose knowledge up to that point is fine
another one I need to get around to finishing someday (idk why I dropped off a bunch of TMA fics specifically...), but this one introduces some interesting new character dynamics, and additional lore-building for many of the characters that adds fun new depth. also a few OCs whom I simply adore <3
What Belongs to the Sea -- TwoDrunkenCelestials, WhyNotFly; starts Elias/Jon, with Jon/Martin endgame, Jon-centric; "Jon is a selkie" au, and the fic implies/explains the rest of canon well enough to read without being familiar with TMA imo
this fic approaches canon worldbuilding from the direction of a different species, giving a unique new perspective on established truths of the setting. I also love the way Jon's character is so different, but still fundamentally the same kinda guy-- "fuck around and find out"-ass man lmao. not to mention Elias' fucked-up dynamic with Jon is ramped up here in a really delicious way, it rly puts their canon dynamic into perspective
Danny Phantom
🌟 Phantom of Truth / Shadow of a Doubt -- HaiJu; Danny Fenton & Maddie Fenton-centric; "what if" scenario divergence from an unspecific point in canon, would prolly be best to be familiar with the show but u can prolly get away with some wiki skimming
this one's a classic, and one of the big contributors to the "dissection/vivisection" genre of whump in the DP fandom, haha. it's such an intimate analysis of Danny's relationship with his mom, and it refuses to pull punches on Danny's situation and resulting trauma. I think it also does an excellent job challenging Maddie's perception/ethics in genuine and fundamental ways
Rise of the Guardians (movie)
🌟 Shadows and Light series -- not_poignant; Jack Frost/Pitch Black, Jack-centric; canon-compliant sequel to the movie (can't speak for book canon), u can prolly get away with reading a wiki summary if u don't wanna watch the movie
one of my fave fics for a decade now, I absolutely LOVE what this fic does for ROTG worldbuilding. so much thought is put into the politics of the fae community, and how magic functions both practically and thematically. and it introduces a ton of cool fae ocs, many of which now have their own stories, as the author has used their fae world here in other original stories as well (would also recommend!!). and the relationship between Pitch/Jack is excellent of course, with a lot of interesting BDSM elements to their dynamic (a common trend in this author's other writing as well)
Mob Psycho 100
🌟 A Breach of Trust -- Phantomrose96; Ritsu, Mob, & Reigen-centric, but multiple other POVs as well; diverges from canon before the start of the canon story, so knowing MP100 isn't necessary
this is a really fun "what if Reigen and Mob didn't meet when they were supposed to?" canon-divergent au. it pushes basically every character to their worst, most self-destructive ends, and it makes me want to throttle some of them (affectionate <3). the fic isn't done yet (as of posting this), but it promises to end satisfyingly-- it just has to put everyone through the wringer first lmao
Welcome to Night Vale
🌟 run, run, fast as you-- -- (orphaned); Cecil/Carlos, Carlos-centric; compliant with early NV lore, mostly diverges in some of Carlos' background and motivations moving to Night Vale. familiarity with s1 would be useful, but not strictly necessary
really really stunning fic, I love the additional lore-building for Carlos and Cecil here, so much is added to their characters. since this is such an old fic, some of the lore here ends up being retroactively false, as the podcast introduced different lore later on. but I almost wish some of the lore here was canon b/c it's just that good (like Cecil's whole thing with the orphanage, and how the orphanage even functions OUGH!)
The Devil Went Down To Georgia (you heard that right, the country song)
🌟 The Devil Went Down to Georgia (And Then Went Down on Johnny) series -- notbecauseofvictories; Johnny/The Devil, Johnny-centric; I guess a modern take on canon, kinda treated like an original story tbh, but like. you can also just listen to the song beforehand
the author clearly has a deep knowledge and passion for music-- especially country music-- and it rly shines through in this fic. the celebration of music and community and country culture here is just. idk, it's like being invited to the table, somehow, I love it. this whole fic is poetry and it makes me ache
Portal
Blue Sky -- wafflestories; Wheatley/Chell-centric; canon-compliant sequel to the second game, necessary to know the games to understand
I must admit it's been several years since I've read this one, so my memory of it isn't quite as strong. but I remember it being a very loving rehabilitation of Wheatley and Chell's relationship, and I believe it's considered a classic by the ship's fans.
How To Train Your Dragon (movie)
I Hear Him Scream -- Rift-Raft; Toothless & Hiccup-centric; diverges from canon at the point when Hiccup downs Toothless with the net at the beginning of the movie, so watching the movie isn't super necessary, tho I imagine most of us have seen it (as we should!!)
I don't know that I would call this one particularly well-written-- it can get kinda awkward and jarring at points, and the end of the story kinda goes off the rails for me. but the premise and worldbuilding make up for it, imo. but I admit I love xenofiction, so I love seeing the deep lore about dragon culture/society this fic presents
Kekkai Sensen
Fleißiger Junge -- TheLennyBunny; Klaus/Leo, Leo-centric; demon/angel au, not necessary to know KKSS
I really love the demon/angel worldbuilding in this one, with a delicious twist of horror that's so fitting to canon /chef's kiss/. and the way Leo's family is characterized (with several OC characters) is so so fun and charming. good eating for the starving Klaus/Leo fans out there 😭
RWBY
🌟 Teaching Qrow -- ByronNightshade; Qrow-centric; a canon-compliant prequel to the canon story, a bit of knowledge about the setting and Qrow's backstory are kinda necessary
I fucking love what this fic does for Qrow's character, it treats him with way more nuance and understanding than canon ever has (tho tbf, most Qrow fans do, lol). and all the additional OCs and building on the subtle implications of RWBY lore... AUGH it's good
My Hero Academia
Hero Class Civil Warfare -- RogueDruid; genfic with multiple POVs; "what if" scenario divergence from an unspecific point in canon, prolly necessary to at least be familiar with the world/characters to a point
really fun "what if this class exercise got got a bit too intense, haha~" au. it introduces a ton of fun new dynamics between the characters, and lets Izuku shine as a badass, chessmaster "villain"
Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint
Imaginary Truths -- Mythril; Kim Dokja/Yoo Joonghyuk-centric; actor au, not necessary to know ORV
this fic does an excellent job translating the canon relationships/dynamics to this setting, and keeps the core of the story/themes intact in rly interesting ways.
new game (+) -- illusionedwhite; Kim Dokja/Yoo Joonghyuk, Yoo Joonghyuk-centric; role-reversal au, and since it starts from the beginning where where canon would have started, I guess it's not technically necessary to read ORV first? but ORV provides more context
this fic is rly careful about the particular way Kim Dokja and Yoo Joonghyuk switch roles-- it's very much about their story roles. their core characters/themes remain intact, they're just interpreted through a new lens here. this is for the fans that read ORV and thought, "what if I want to read ORV again, but slightly to the left?"
Genshin Impact
🌟 Begin Anew, O Lost Child -- DarthPeezy; Childe/Zhongli/Guizhong, Childe-centric; a time-travel au that diverges from canon at the battle with Osial in the Liyue chapter, so familiarity up to that point is necessary
there's something about circularity and connection, here. about reaching across expanses of time to connect with those you love, and those you lost. about the horror of fate, and the hope for a future in spite of it. idk, this fic did something to me
we were lovers -- ThirteenSocks; Kazuha/his unnamed friend, Kazuha-centric; "Kazuha loses his vision" au, with a few twists. this fic doesn't really touch canon involving the traveler, but familiarity with Inazuma is necessary, so at least up through that chapter in-game.
what else can I say except this fic is beautiful-- it has the same melodic quality that I associate with Kazuha himself, so it feels perfectly appropriate.
To Be or Not To Be (Human With You) -- lilbittofmatcha; Aether/Scaramouche, Aether-centric; diverges after the end of the whole Sumeru chapter, familiarity up to that point is necessary
I really really love Traveler fics that acknowledge that the Traveler is essentially an otherworldy alien being, and was perhaps even godlike(??) before landing in Teyvat. I especially love Aether's characterization here, and the obvious comparisons to be made with Scara's situation
Sinking Ships in Liyue Harbor -- whereherbonesareburied; Diluc/Kaeya, Diluc-centric; a "what if Kaeya left" divergence from canon sometime after the events of the Mondstadt chapter. it's necessary to be familiar with Kaeya and Diluc's relationship, so reading up on their lore is best, though familiarity up through the Liyue chapter will help with this one
something about the pacing and framing of this fic really charms me. like, Diluc's journey to find Kaeya is kinda framed as a series meetings with several new people, like snapshots from a photo album? it's fun to see so many different, brief impressions of characters through his eyes
Osomatsu-san
Dissociation Disease -- PyrrhicFiend; Karamatsu-centric; technically features multiple AUs, but the core story is show canon. not strictly necessary to be familiar with the show
a fic I never ended up finishing (someday..), but I remember it being incredibly trippy and bizarre in the best of ways. though it may not be the best fic to read dealing with dissociation themself, because it grapples a lot with warped perception and hallucinations
🌟 Frater, Ave Atque Vale -- (orphaned); Karamatsu/Osomatsu, Osomatsu-centric; fantasy AU, not necessary to know the show
this one's perhaps on the razor's edge of not being long enough for this list, but I'm counting it anyways. there's something about 'brief' writing styles that often captures me, like parsing a scene down to its bare essentials makes the tone/emotion land more powerfully. this fic is probably my favorite example of this style
Voltron: VLD
The Rites of Courtship -- calibratingentropy; Keith/Thace, Keith-centric; canon-divergence from the end of s1 ep12, and it's kinda necessary to be familiar at least to that point, though u might be able to skim the wiki
a rarepair I never woulda considered if a friend hadn't recced this fic to me way back, haha. this fic features some of my favorite alien worldbuilding, with a lot of thought and care put into Galran culture and biology, I think about it a lot as a specevo creator myself
The Favored Champion -- sugarapplesweet; Sendak/Shiro, Shiro-centric; canon-divergence before canon, while Shiro is still a coliseum fighter
real fucked-up Stockholm Syndrome abusive relationship, Shiro goes thru the wringer </3. I love the way the relationship with the Lions is depicted here too, the chapter where Shiro basically screams at the Black Lion grips me by the throat. another great example of cool Galra worldbuilding too, not as heavy on the bio side as the last one but fun to see either way!
Tokyo Mew Mew
The Deal -- RizuOnceAgain; Ichigo/Quiche, Ichigo-centric; canon-divergent from an unspecified(?) point in canon, and I um. I've never watched TMM and know very little beyond TMM's basic premise and main characters? so take that as you will
I don't often read fics from things I'm not familiar with, but I trust my friend's recs with my life, and this one did not disappoint. I can't speak on how faithful it is to the original, but Ichigo/Quiche's dynamic here makes me go crazy nutso bonkers!! it has me banging on the walls and chewing furniture, oh my god!! it almost makes me wanna watch the show even tho I know I won't like it nearly as much as this fic 😭.

Bucky Barnes Flash Bingo | 📚 @buckybarnesbingo | Underdog
IronHusbands Bingo Round 4 | 🗯️ @ironhusbandsbingo | Words Unsaid
masterlist :: (ao3 link)
RATING: General WARNING(S): Relationship drama, Open relationship, Marriage open relationship, Bad communication
It wasn’t Bucky’s intention to get between a relationship, especially not one as strong as Rhodey and Tony’s, but in his defence, he didn’t know they were dating. (A bad description). | Tony Stark/James 'Rhodey' Rhodes/James 'Bucky' Barnes
fluffbruary 2023 | bbb 📚 flash | ihb 🗯️ round 4
Tumblr media
Bucky was extremely lucky he understands that he has complete access to Tony’s lab with his one fingerprint unlocking the glass sliding doors that Tony keeps locked. The lab is Tony’s sanctuary and to have any access means that Tony trusts him which Bucky didn’t think when he followed Steve into the Avengers tower.
.
“Who is this?” Tony says not in the nicest tone of voice, Steve had been getting on Tony’s nerves. He had given him a home, a new uniform, and food, yet none of it seemed to be enough for Steve, for somebody who came from nothing Tony thought Steve would appreciate the luxury he provided. Instead, Steve seems to take advantage of his kindness by dragging in a lost puppy behind him, “and what does he think he is doing here?”
Steve smiles not sensing the strained sense of tone in Tony’s voice, he has a smile on his face, “this is Bucky, he came out of the ice. I thought he could stay here, maybe train with us and,” Steve's face drops as he looks back to his friend, and moves over an inch, this is the first time Tony sees why this guy is such an underdog, “maybe you could help with his arm?”
Tony knows who Bucky is, he was Steve’s bestfriend, his right-hand man, and his Rhodey (without all the relationship stuff), Tony read history books about this man and went to museum collections detailing his fall from the train and how devastated Steve supposedly was. Never in any of the books, collections or articles did they mention a silver arm, a rusted, badly built silver arm that must be killing him from the weight alone. Tony hates to admit it but that arm is reason enough for Tony to house the man. 
“Yeah I’ll give it a look at, um” Tony blinks a few times before taking a deep breath, this has changed his day of pace, “the spare room on your floor is clean right? If not I can call the cleaner but I’m not quite sure when she will get here…” Steve smiles brightly and quickly reassures Tony, “yes one of the rooms is clean he can definitely stay there, thank you, Tony.”
Steve quickly pulls Bucky away from Tony and leads him to the elevator to move up to Steve’s. 
Tony hates to admit how quickly he pulled up blueprints and began sketching a new arm, Steve’s new friend is cute and Tony can’t get him out of his head, because it is clearly because of the arm, just the arm. 
.
When he does sit in the workshop with Tony sometimes it is because he is getting his arm looked at and Tony has exciting new blueprints to show him, but other times it because he just wants to sit and watch Tony. 
These are the times that Bucky notices the wedding band.
There are all ways words unsaid in the situation because how do you bring it up to the man that you thought might be flirting with you. 
.
Bucky sits in the lab one day because he felt like he needed the quietness that the lab brings, he feels bad because Tony isn’t here and he is in Tony’s space but he needed it. Steve had been nice since moving into the Avengers tower, but he always feels like he was intruding when he sees Sam and Steve cooking in the kitchen, or lounging on top of each other during movie nights. 
The lab offers quietness that the spare room or the floor he is taking residence in can’t. “You’ve come to escape have you?” Tony jokes announcing himself to the room, laughing along with his own comment. Bucky nods along as he watches Tony sit and pull up blueprints and doesn’t seem fussed by the fact that Bucky just let himself in, asking JARVIS to play some music as they both just appreciate each other's presence. 
Bucky doesn’t get out a stark pad or read like he normally does when they are both in the lab, he just watches Tony which is when he notices the ring. “Are you married?” The question comes out of nowhere as he watches Tony stop fiddling, “sorry,” Bucky winces when he realises his upfronts, “it’s just you were playing with what looks like a wedding ring and it’s definitely on your ring finger so I just assumed, sorry.” 
Something Tony and Bucky both have in common is their rambling and when Peter is also in the lab with them both it becomes quite a lot for anybody else that may join them, but as both nerds the rambling is normal.  
Tony doesn’t stop what he’s doing, “yeah in 0’11, right after the bill was passed, we had been engaged for years but it wasn’t until then that we actually tied the knot.”
Two things in this conversation shock Bucky, 1. He’s right and Tony is actually married which feels weird because he thought they were flirting and 2. Tony is gay (or bisexual, or whatever term he chooses) which he assumed but Tony also just seemed charming to anybody he meets. 
But Tony is married with a ring and everything, and Bucky is nothing.
.
Rhodey is extremely nice to Bucky and doesn’t wear a wedding band which seems like the perfect situation in Bucky’s predicament. Rhodey is Tony’s best friend but when Tony sees Bucky sitting on Rhodey’s lap he doesn’t complain or fight it, most of the time he smiles with warmth over at them.
It makes his heart tender thinking about being with Rhodey but them he remembers the moments in the lab and his heart seems caught between. 
.
“Movie night!” Peter screams as he enters the lounge on Clint and Natasha’s floor, this month's movie night location. Movie night traditionally transferred from floor to floor each month, except for Tony, Tony never seemed interested in hosting a movie night and so he was never included in the mix. 
Rhodey was happy to include Bucky in movie night when he joined the tower despite the weariness of Steve and Tony, Rhodey saw the excitement Bucky had in his eyes when he discovered new things, completely different to the confusion that used to show on Steve’s face when being introduced to the new world. He quickly introduced Bucky to all new types of work, “are we continuing James Bond tonight?” 
Bucky smiles brightly which is enough for Natasha to roll her eyes and turn on James Bond, as Peter talks about random James Bond facts he found out since last month. 
The movie plays with minimal talking as everybody finds themselves intensively watching You Only Live Twice, and Bucky’s head slowly falls onto Rhodey’s shoulder for the first time and suddenly Rhodey is no longer interested in the movie, as the smile on his face may suggest. 
Bucky never thought of himself as an underdog he was a soldier who thought in war, but now he feels like he is the most underdog of them all.
When Natasha tells him that Rhodey and Tony are married Bucky’s tender heart breaks because it just can’t be true, he is dating Rhodey, they made it official just last week, and they were dating. Now Bucky just feels like he’s a mistress. 
“How could you do this to me!” Never before had he questioned that they slept on the same floor, never had he questioned that Rhodey always sleeps in his room when they sleep together, never even being invited to Tony’s floor.
Bucky for the first time steps onto Tony’s floor yelling a storm. There is a part of him that is glad the elevator didn’t lock him out of getting there, that eventually, he would have found out on his own because the elevator door opens and he can see wedding photos on the grand piano with them both in matching white suits. 
He is met with confused looks from Rhodey and Tony who are sitting on the couch next to each other, arms around each other, sharing a StarkPad. Bucky breathes a hard breath, fuming, “you’re married, to each other,” you can tell he’s really angry from the wild hand signals he is using, “and neither of you, my boyfriend nor my friend thought you would tell me!”
Rhodey pushes his eyebrows down and together even more confused than when Bucky walked in, if Bucky wasn’t made he would call it super cute, “you didn’t know?” And Tony begins to laugh so loud that he is nearly falling off the couch, hitting Rhodeys knee forcefully, “he doesn’t realise we’re open and both dating him,” Tony explains in a fit of laughter.
 Bucky tilts his head like a lost dog, “open relationship? But you’re married?” He’s no longer screaming and is instead the one confused in the whole situation. 
“Open relationships can relate to marriage, and in our case it does, it just so happens to be that we both really like you,” Rhodey explains with a wincing smile. He moves over to the lounge while simultaneously pushing Tony back onto the lounge as the older man recovers, “sit down” he pats the spot he just made, “and we can discuss this all. No words unsaid this time, we promise”
Listening to the suggestion Bucky sits down between them and leans his head on Rhodeys shoulder looking at Tony, “this would explain the coffee dates, and kissing my forehead in the lab,” he says and Tony spills out into more laughter.
Bucky can work with this.  Laughter, relationships and partners.

When your AC system malfunctions, finding a reliable repair service is crucial. But with so many options available, how do you choose the best AC repair service? Here are key tips to guide you in making an informed decision.
1. Look for Local Experience and Expertise
Pinellas County's climate presents unique challenges for air conditioning systems. Choose a company with years of experience handling AC repairs in the area. Local companies understand the specific needs of Florida homes and are familiar with common issues caused by high humidity, salt air, and extreme heat.
2. Check Licenses and Certifications
Ensure the AC repair service is licensed and insured to operate in Florida. Certification from organizations like NATE (North American Technician Excellence) or affiliation with reputable industry groups signifies professional expertise and adherence to industry standards.
3. Read Reviews and Testimonials
Online reviews on platforms like Google, Yelp, and Better Business Bureau (BBB) provide insights into customer satisfaction. Look for consistent positive feedback about the company's punctuality, professionalism, and quality of work. Testimonials on the company’s website can also highlight their strengths.
4. Ask About Emergency Services
AC issues can arise at inconvenient times. Opt for a company that offers 24/7 emergency repair services. Quick response times can save you from discomfort and prevent further damage to your system.
5. Evaluate Pricing Transparency
Reliable AC repair companies provide clear and upfront pricing. Request a written estimate before agreeing to any work. Be cautious of companies that offer unusually low prices, as they may compromise on quality or include hidden charges.
6. Inquire About Warranties and Guarantees
A reputable AC repair service stands behind its work. Look for companies that offer warranties on parts and labor. This ensures peace of mind and protection against future issues arising from the repair.
7. Assess Customer Service
From your first interaction, pay attention to how the company’s staff treats you. Are they friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to answer your questions? Excellent customer service reflects the company’s commitment to professionalism and client satisfaction.
8. Confirm Availability of Preventative Maintenance Plans
Preventative maintenance can extend the life of your AC system and reduce the need for frequent repairs. Choose a company that offers maintenance plans tailored to your system’s needs.
9. Compare Multiple Quotes
Don’t settle for the first company you find. Get quotes from at least three different AC repair services in Pinellas County. Comparing options allows you to weigh their expertise, services, and pricing.

Buying Gold Online in Canada: A Comprehensive Guide
Tumblr media
Gold has long been a trusted investment, prized for its stability, value retention, and role as a hedge against inflation. In Canada, buying gold has become more accessible than ever, thanks to the rise of online platforms. However, purchasing gold online requires careful consideration to ensure you are making a secure and informed investment. This comprehensive guide will walk you through everything you need to know about buying gold online in Canada, from selecting a reputable dealer to understanding the various gold products available.
1. The Benefits of Buying Gold Online
Purchasing gold online offers several advantages over traditional in-person transactions:
Convenience: Buying gold online allows you to shop from the comfort of your home, giving you access to a wide range of products at any time. This convenience is especially beneficial for investors who may not live near physical gold dealers.
Wide Selection: Online platforms often provide a broader variety of gold products, from coins and bars to fractional pieces, making it easier to find exactly what you’re looking for.
Competitive Pricing: Online dealers typically have lower overhead costs than brick-and-mortar stores, allowing them to offer more competitive prices. Additionally, you can easily compare prices across multiple platforms to ensure you’re getting the best deal.
Discreet Transactions: Online purchases are more private, as your gold is delivered directly to your home or a secure storage facility, reducing the risk of theft during transport.
2. How to Choose a Reputable Online Gold Dealer
The first step in buying gold online is selecting a trustworthy dealer. Here’s what to look for:
Reputation and Reviews: Start by researching the dealer’s reputation. Read customer reviews and testimonials to gauge satisfaction and reliability. Independent review sites can provide additional insights into the dealer’s performance.
Accreditation: Look for dealers who are accredited by industry organizations such as the Royal Canadian Mint, the Better Business Bureau (BBB), or the Canadian Association of Numismatic Dealers (CAND). Accreditation indicates that the dealer adheres to industry standards and practices.
Transparency: A reputable dealer will be transparent about their pricing, including any premiums over the spot price of gold. Ensure that the website clearly displays product details, including weight, purity, and manufacturer.
Secure Payment and Shipping: Security is paramount when purchasing gold online. The dealer should offer secure payment methods and encrypted transactions to protect your financial information. Additionally, make sure the dealer provides insured and trackable shipping options.
Buyback Policy: A good dealer will offer a buyback policy, allowing you to sell your gold back to them if needed. This feature enhances the liquidity of your investment and provides an easy exit strategy.
3. Understanding the Types of Gold Products Available
When buying gold online, you’ll come across various types of products, each with its own characteristics:
Gold Bars: Gold bars are a popular choice for investors looking to acquire larger quantities of gold. They are available in a range of sizes, from small 1-gram bars to large 1-kilogram bars. Gold bars typically have lower premiums compared to coins, making them a cost-effective option for bulk purchases.
Gold Coins: Coins like the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf, American Gold Eagle, and South African Krugerrand are favored by both collectors and investors. Coins often carry a higher premium due to their collectible value and intricate designs. They are also easier to sell in smaller quantities.
Fractional Gold: Fractional gold bars or coins (e.g., 1/10 oz, 1/4 oz) are an affordable entry point for investors with a limited budget. Although the premiums are higher on a per-ounce basis, fractional gold offers flexibility and liquidity.
Gold Rounds: Gold rounds are similar to coins but do not have legal tender status. They are typically less expensive than coins and are a good option for those who want the look and feel of a coin without the added numismatic value.
4. Pricing and Premiums: What to Expect
Understanding how gold is priced is crucial for making informed purchasing decisions:
Spot Price: The spot price of gold fluctuates based on market conditions, including supply and demand, geopolitical events, and economic data. This price is the base value of gold, to which a premium is added.
Premium: The premium is the amount you pay over the spot price, covering the costs of refining, minting, and distributing the gold, as well as the dealer’s profit margin. Premiums vary depending on the product type, with coins generally having higher premiums than bars due to their collectible value.
Comparing Prices: It’s essential to compare prices from different dealers to ensure you’re getting the best deal. Some dealers may offer discounts for bulk purchases, reducing the overall premium per ounce.
5. Payment and Shipping Considerations
Once you’ve selected your gold products, consider the following when completing your purchase:
Payment Methods: Most online gold dealers accept various payment methods, including credit cards, bank transfers, PayPal, and cryptocurrencies. Be aware that different payment methods may have different fees or discounts, so choose the option that best suits your needs.
Shipping: Ensure that the dealer offers insured and trackable shipping to protect your purchase during delivery. Depending on the value of your order, shipping fees may be included or charged separately. Some dealers offer free shipping on larger orders.
Delivery Time: Delivery times can vary depending on the dealer and your location. It’s important to understand the estimated delivery time before purchasing, especially if you need the gold by a specific date.
6. Safeguarding Your Gold Investment
Once you’ve purchased your gold, proper storage is essential to protect your investment:
Home Storage: If you choose to store your gold at home, invest in a high-quality safe that is fireproof and burglar-resistant. Place the safe in a discreet location and consider adding your gold to your home insurance policy.
Bank Safety Deposit Box: Many investors prefer to store their gold in a bank safety deposit box for added security. This option typically comes with an annual rental fee but offers peace of mind knowing your gold is secure.
Third-Party Storage: Some online dealers offer secure storage through third-party vaults. This option provides maximum security and insurance coverage, though it may come with additional fees.
7. Selling Your Gold Online
When the time comes to sell your gold, consider the following:
Market Timing: Monitor the current market price of gold to sell when prices are favorable. Timing your sale can significantly impact your returns.
Buyback Programs: Many online dealers offer buyback programs, making it easy to sell your gold back to them. Be sure to understand the terms and any associated fees.
Private Sales: You can also sell your gold privately through online marketplaces or local buyers. Ensure the transaction is secure and complies with all applicable laws.
Conclusion
Buying gold online in Canada is a convenient and effective way to invest in this valuable asset. By carefully selecting a reputable dealer, understanding the types of gold products available, and considering the logistics of payment, shipping, Shop gold bars online and storage, you can make informed decisions that align with your financial goals. Whether you’re a seasoned investor or new to gold investing, this comprehensive guide provides the knowledge you need to navigate the online gold market confidently. Gold’s enduring value, combined with the ease of online purchasing, makes it an attractive option for those looking to build and preserve wealth in an increasingly digital world.

Top Tips for Choosing the Right Wall Repair Contractor
Finding the right wall repair contractor can feel overwhelming. After all, you're trusting them with the integrity and aesthetics of your home. A skilled contractor can make quick work of those pesky holes, cracks, and water damage, leaving your walls looking flawless. But a bad experience with an unprofessional contractor can lead to a financial headache and even further damage to your home.
Here are some key tips to ensure you choose the perfect wall repair contractor for your project:
Tumblr media
1. Assess Your Project Scope
Before diving headfirst into your contractor search, take a moment to clearly define the project's scale. Are you dealing with a small hole from a misplaced picture frame, or a gaping tear caused by a plumbing leak? Knowing the extent of the damage will help you narrow down your contractor search and ensure they specialize in the type of repair you need.
For minor repairs like patching small holes or hairline cracks, a handyman might suffice. However, for extensive water damage, large cracks, or uneven surfaces, a licensed and experienced wall repair contractor is essential.
2. Leverage Your Network
The power of word-of-mouth recommendations shouldn't be underestimated. Reach out to friends, family, neighbors, or even local community forums to see if anyone has recently used a wall repair contractor they were happy with. Positive personal experiences are a strong indicator of a contractor's reliability and quality of work.
3. Online Research and Reviews
The internet provides a wealth of information on local contractors. Look for contractors with websites that showcase their work and outline their services. Many reputable contractors will also have positive reviews on platforms like Google My Business, Yelp, or the Better Business Bureau (BBB).
While online reviews can be helpful, be cautious not to solely rely on them. Read through a range of reviews to get a well-rounded picture of the contractor's strengths and weaknesses.
4. Get Multiple Quotes
Once you have a shortlist of potential contractors, reach out to each one for a free consultation and quote. A reputable contractor will readily schedule a time to visit your home, assess the damage, and discuss the repair process in detail.
During the consultation, don't be afraid to ask questions! Inquire about their experience with similar projects, the materials they plan to use, and their estimated timeline for completion.
When comparing quotes, focus not just on the price, but also on the overall value proposition. The cheapest quote might not be the best option in the long run if the contractor uses inferior materials or cuts corners on the process.
5. Verify Licensing and Insurance
A critical step is ensuring the contractor you choose is properly licensed and insured. A valid contractor's license verifies they have met the state's requirements for qualifications and experience.
Liability insurance protects you in case of accidental property damage during the repair process. Worker's compensation insurance ensures the contractor's employees are covered in case of any injuries on the job.
6. Request References and Check Them Thoroughly
Don't hesitate to ask any shortlisted contractor for references from previous clients. Reach out to these references and inquire about their experience with the contractor. Ask about the quality of work, communication, professionalism, and adherence to the agreed-upon timeline and budget.
7. Beware of Red Flags
There are certain warning signs to watch out for when choosing a wall repair contractor. Be wary of contractors who:
Pressure you into making a quick decision or offer an unrealistically low price.
Are unable to provide proof of licensing and insurance.
Request a large upfront deposit before starting the work.
Have negative online reviews or a poor reputation in the community.
8. Finalize the Agreement in Writing
Once you've chosen a contractor, it's crucial to have a written contract in place before any work begins. The contract should clearly outline the scope of work, materials to be used, project timeline, payment schedule, and warranty details. Both you and the contractor should sign a copy of the contract for your records.
9. Clear Communication is Key
Maintain clear communication channels with your chosen wall repair contractor throughout the project. Discuss any concerns or questions promptly. A reputable contractor will be responsive and transparent in their communication.
10. Conduct a Final Inspection
Before finalizing payment, thoroughly inspect the completed work. Ensure everything meets the agreed-upon standards as outlined in the contract. Don't hesitate to ask the contractor to address any minor imperfections before signing off on the project.
By following these tips, you can significantly increase your chances of finding the perfect wall repair contractor for your needs. With a qualified and professional contractor

The Great Anime Rewatch of 2024 - Part IV
Lucky Star
First watched: Circa 2008? Rewatched: January 2024
Original rating: 5 New rating: 5
The weird shit about Lucky Star is that even though the show is essentially about nothing, the episodes go by very quickly for me. (Compared to other slice of life shows in this rewatch round that were mind numbingly slow, but actually had a plot, or something resembling a story arc: Aoi Hana, Aria, and Kimi ni Todoke.) Its quick switching between scenes due to its nature as a 4-koma adaptation is actually doing wonders for my shitty attention span. With that said, it was wearing out its welcome very quickly, and motivation to watch more was low. The second half starts focusing on the expanded cast that I don’t give a shit about, and I don’t think other fans do either. Lucky Star is definitely not a show to be binged, and I also don’t see myself revisiting it again. 
__________________________________
Blood Blockade Battlefront 1 & 2
First watched: Fall 2015, Fall 2017, original airdates Rewatched: January 2024
Original rating: 7, 7 New rating: 4, 6
I’ve been on a weird streak of watching anime featuring blonde twins: Migi & Dali, Trigun Stampede, and now BBB. As soon as I started watching, I remembered the original story was written by the same author as Trigun. Rewatching Trigun did not go well for me. But wait! Matsumoto Rie directed the first season. Maybe this won’t be so bad. 
First off, I’m not wild about the art style—specifically the way people are drawn. There are stunning visuals elsewhere: the not-chess match in episode three, the giant tree train station, etc. The ending sequence is fun and joyous. BBB’s tone reminds me more of Baccano or Space Dandy than Trigun, which is definitely a good thing. What I don’t think is a good thing is how BBB starts with a large cast, and primarily focuses on what they can do, rather than who they are. The problem is exacerbated as new characters are introduced every episode. Space Dandy was similar, but that show did a much better job of establishing its core cast. Then the story shifted to anime original material which was so poorly done and…maybe Matsumoto Rie isn’t as good of a director as I once thought. (Although I do love King of Despair, he just wasn’t in the right anime.)
The second season’s change in director was noticeable immediately. The first thing that felt different was the music—we started off with a rap song. The visuals also look cleaner. And, oh? What’s this? We’re finally spending time on the Libra members? I’m finally getting a feel for who they are as people now? Amazing. This is what I was looking for last season. But of course, I’m impossible to please, whatever. And now my problem is that the entire season is episodic, and no overarching goal for the heroes to be working towards. The seasons should’ve aired in reverse: season one should’ve been character-centric episodic, and give an overarching story to season two. There were some fun moments, but BBB just didn’t do it for me the second time around. 
__________________________________
Rideback
First watched: June 2011 Rewatched: January 2024
Original rating: 7 New rating: 4
Here’s an anime no one else remembers. Taking place in the year 2025, and with the original story starting publication in 2003, it’s interesting to see how people depicted the future without the presence of social media and over-reliance of cell phones. Other than that, there’s not much to say about Rideback. I think the premise of a retired dancer trying to find a new purpose could’ve been really lovely in the hands of a better writer. Too bad the writing and characters are dull, but the mechs themselves are cool. More pirouetting mechs please. Moving on. 
__________________________________
Full Metal Panic! & Fumoffu
First watched: June 2012 Rewatched: January 2024
Original rating: 8, 8
New rating: 5, 7
This is such an anime anime: teenage mercs piloting mechs, high school romcom, terrorists, man Full Metal Panic! sure does have it all. When I first watched it, I liked it enough to watch the sequel, the comedy spinoff, and the OVAs/specials. There is something about it that is timeless, yet it has aged strangely. The first few episodes in particular were very bad. Barring the lackluster animation, it did get better, or at least more tolerable. I’m thankful that Sosuke’s secret was out to Kaname by episode five. But every time I finished an episode, I asked myself, ‘what actually happened?’ Things are happening, but it never feels like the plot is advancing, or the characters are growing. I lasted twelve episodes. 
Crunchyroll doesn’t have the second season, but it does have Fumoffu. I had a much better time here. Because the jokes are so specific to the characters and the bits actually have a plot, the comedy has aged surprisingly well. 
I didn't realize how big of a franchise Full Metal Panic! actually is until now. With a a ridiculous number of light novels and manga, and anime adaptations as recent as 2018, I can’t fathom this story going on for as long as it has. 
__________________________________
Fruits Basket
First watched: Circa 2006 Rewatched: January 2024
Original rating: 7 New rating: 7
Fruits Basket and I go waaaaaay back. Both the English and Japanese versions, as well as the manga, I couldn’t get enough of this shit when I was in middle school. I’ve been wondering whether to watch the remake for a while now, but wanted to revisit the original first. 
Barring the mispronunciations of the character’s names, the dub's core cast still rocks. I alternated between English and Japanese depending on what characters were present. Also this is funny as hell. 
The main issues I have with this adaptation are: the soundtrack sounds like it only has ten songs, and constantly reuses the same song each episode, the lackluster art style and animation (Deen 2001 at your service), and some of the English voice actors. Aside form that, this story still holds up. And I am more emotionally attached to it than I thought I was going to be. I still like these characters, I still like this story, and I still love that gentle opening song. I had a good time revisiting this. 
Dear fucking god please let the remake still keep the humor. Don’t let it succumb to the melodrama.

RATING: General WARNING: Insomnia mentions and descriptors, carrying to bed, war mentions (not graphic detail).
A/N: 2 back to back Rhodey/Bucky/Tony fics? I definitely feel like I see a trend (and new ot3) coming along. But my title’s lately have been so bad, I’m sorry lol. 
Bucky goes to collect Tony from the lab so they can all go to bed together for once, but then Bucky gets distracted and so then it’s up to Rhodey to figure it all out. | Tony Stark/James 'Bucky'Barnes/James 'Rhodey' Rhodes
fluffbruary 2023 | bbb 📚 flash | ihb 🗯️ round 4
Tumblr media
“Am I going to have to pick you up and drag you to bed?”  Tony’s eyebrows frown as he sees Bucky in the lab doorway, “Peter’s coming over tomorrow and I know that you want  spend the whole day with him and despite how lovely he is Peter takes a lot of energy, so bed.” Bucky tells the truth and he’s not acting especially politely because this is day 3 of Tony not coming to bed with him and Rhodey.
Tony would retaliate that he had been sleeping and JARVIS was logging it as sleep in his habit tracker, but it was sleep in the lab and in short periods of time, which Rhodey may count but Bucky did not. Bucky spent a whole war not slepping properly he was not going to let Tony not sleep because of the lab. 
Frowning Tony watched as JARVIS turned off his holographic blueprints, “did Rhodey send you down?” If Rhodey had sent Bucky down that is when he knew it was bad, he was actually in trouble. Tony used his puppy dog eyes to his best advantage when he says, “becuase I was working on the new blueprints of your arm, and I just had to get ti done, but if you wanted to help…” Tony trailed up and it didn’t take much for Bucky to be gesturing for the holograms to resume their positions and sit in the wheely chair next to Tony.
Quickly Bucky became just as excited about the project as Tony was previously before ebing interrupted, he was confiscating Tony’s coffee by drinking it himself, but in Tony’s eyes you lose some you win some and his partner influencing his insomnia seemed to be a win.
“Have you thought about the feature I was telling you? The shockwave one that I could maybe turn off and on?” Bucky’s tone raised as he became excited and Tony snikered. 
They spent the next hour sitting like that, shoulder to shoulder in their individual chairs, Tony’s backless stoll and Bucky’s wheely chair. It seemed to be they were making decent process on the schematics when they were interrupted by a cough from the door way, both men’s eyes went wide.
They were in trouble if Rhodey unpleased expression was anything to go by. There was a loud gulp from beside Tony.
“I seem to remember giving Bucky 20 minutes to make sure you were in bed, which seems strange because it’s over an hour later and you are both still in the lab. I know for a fact that it does not take 20 minuted to turn off holograms and have Bucky carry you to bed. Thought I should investigate what was really happening.” Tony gulp was just as loud as Bucky’s previous one.
Looking to eachother they both are quick to fend for an apology, random words spilling out of their individual mouths.
Rhodey’s eye squint and he lifts his hand into a stop motion, “my ultimatum for you both is you follow me to bed as I walk out and then I get a massage when we get back to bed, because I am exhausted and because of the stress you two have caused me,” Rhodey side eyes them both, “I have knots all over my body.” 
Coming closer to his partners so he is stadnign across from the works bench with one flick of a hand, and then leaves without another word.
Bucky and Tony scramble as they are quick to follow, “that is not an ultimatum,” Tony whispers to Bucky, Bucky nods, “I’m fairly sure he knows that.”
Sleep, sleep sounds good now.
