Cap-IM Rec Week: Take A Chance on Me Sunday
This is the last one I'll be doing for Cap-IM Rec Week, and I gotta say, I'm all rec'd out. You could say: I'm w(rec)ked. You could also say: shut the F up, that wasn't funny. Free speech! We're trying to make it a thing.
A massive thank you to the @cap-ironman team for creating the platform for such an awesome event! It's been incredible to celebrate old fic, discover new fic, and feast on the fanart and podfics that don't get nearly enough cred in the fandom. A billion thank yous to them for all their hard work behind the scenes!
Now onto the fic recs, one last time:
"Disney World!" by Captain_Panda
To celebrate Tony’s 48th birthday, Steve and the gang go to the most magical place on Earth: Disney World!
I started reading this series with very ambivalent feelings about Disney World and by the end of this series I would have lain down by own life for ol' Mick the veteran Slick.
"Even Though We Know Love's Landscape" by lazywriter7 (@lazywriter7)
But at the core, he’s the same brand of poor little rich guy that dot the shadowed corners of every charity gala, every award function. Sure, maybe it comes in a ‘genius billionaire playboy philanthropist’ package…but his mettle is common iron. A drop of sea water, a dash of air, and he’d rust right through. She, on the other hand, is made of better stuff. In which Tony compares people to weird things, Steph recites poetry and two dorks fall in love.
I usually don't go in for genderbender shenanigans but I remember coming across this and being like I know that if anyone can make me get into this, it'll be this writer. And fuck me! I was right. This is absolute motherfucking nuts! Wholly earnest character study with the sweetest relationship building. I want to bury myself in this fic like an ostrich buries itself in sand.
"How to Treat An Outcast First-Class" by deervsheadlights (@deervsheadlights)
[...] "You want to the front. You want the engine. And I just so happen to be your only chance of getting there.” Steve’s going to admit, the guy’s got spunk for a naked, first-class omega in ten wagons full of angry alphas who’d give a not-so-figurative limb to get a go at him.
I watched Snowpiercer once and was O.O after so I definitely never expected to find or read fic set in its universe. But holy shit is this written well and holy shit did I have a blastin' good time.
Maybe I don't take enough chances. . .
& for the last time--go forth: SteveTony lovers, fuckers, ambassadors, champions, perverts, freaks, losers, dreamers, legends! Read, re-read, kudo, comment, spread legs and spread love.

Me: I hate my job I hate my boss I felt like I had so much potential but I’m struggling to get anyone to take me seriously and get a job that would satisfy me intellectually and start living the life I imagined for myself -
Also me: Oh my god just like in slow horses
#genuine thought I had at work today#strongly relate to the ‘I GOT to get out of here!!’ but then just. not. of the slow horses#a customer was reading the book today though which was exciting! we had a little chat#the rest of the day was pure nightmares ❤️ had to quickly grab a chair when taking an order bc I felt like I was gonna faint ❤️#bc it had been none stop and didn’t get the chance to eat ❤️#the writing group that I can never go to bc I work Sundays was in again ❤️#a parent asked me to discipline their child for them ❤️#slow horses#rambling into the void

so uh. that 2.2 Special Program, huh
#hsr#honkai star rail#hsr 2.2#hsr spoilers#hsr leaks#the body of this post reads as far less enthusiastic than i really am#i just don’t know how to casually return from my latest 2 week hiatus only to gush abt a game i’ve hardly blogged abt before#but i’m not making a whole ass sideblog for it like i did for Genshin. nah y’all r gonna bear witness to my fixation with this one#so anyways don’t mind me. vibrating into another dimension with anticipation for the next 11 days#it’s insane man. a year ago i Never ever woulda thought i’d be so invested in this game. and it took Months for the game to really grab me#but i’m v glad i kept coming back even when i was struggling to really get into it. like i just had this feeling that if i stuck around and#gave the game a chance to really like. come into its stride. i just always felt like there was Something there and i just hadn’t found it#and holy shit i finally found it in Penacony. the devs really truly outdid themselves with this region and these characters and this story#not to discount everything that’s happened prior. like i was genuinely Liking it all before now but i wasn’t Loving it y’know#but that may be more a ‘me having to fight tooth n’ nail to force myself to consume new media’ thing than it is a matter of the actual game#anyways i came here to talk abt the program! bc since i’m not filming my HSR stuff i’m gonna be insufferable abt it on Tumblr instead ! :)#and i’m probably not filming any more Genshin stuff. or anything else at all for that matter but let’s not talk abt that dead dream#pun not intended lmao. Anyways let’s return to the subject at hand while there’s still room left in these tags shall we#i’m so fucking glad they had Aventurine on this program man. especially since he’s leaked to only have 18 lines in 2.2… it was nice to see-#-him here at least 🥹 i’ll take what i can get. his unenthusiastic little bird noises at the beginning.. him being reluctant to come out..#the way one of the first things to come out of his mouth was ‘y’know DR RATIO once told me…’ like boy we get it ur in love with him 🙄 (/J!)#i love how they can’t go on these programs w/o talking abt each other it’s adorable. AND THE WAY HE WAS THE ONE TO EXPLAIN BOOTHILL’S KIT!?#they can’t just fuel my crackship like this… god and his whole ‘muddle-fudger.. son-of-a-nice-lady?’ thing had me wheezing#Aven mocking Boothill’s inability to curse was not on my special program bingo card but fuck i’m here for it#and Robin being all curious abt him was so cute.. ‘who /is/ he? … does he order milk at the bar?’ i’m crying she’s so sweet#also the trailer was fucking insane. which feels redundant as hell bc all of HoYo’s version trailers go hard but like. still. wow.#that millisecond long shot of Boothill surveying the skyline is so fucking good. also what the fuck is Jing Yuan doing here!!#not complaining at all tho. we’ve got JY & DH(IL?). Argenti(?). Boothill. Sunday. Aven. all my men r here and i am eating so fucking good#Seven.txt#viddy game stuff

#man one of the worst things about having complex mental health issues#as in: very severe and pervasive#is the way you get physical chronic illnesses from them#like i had a breakdown on sunday night just gone due a trauma anniversary#and now that my mind has take its foot off the gas and i’ve come out of that high stress period#my body has just collapsed#and i know this happens to other people with other things ofc#but anyone with BPD/CPTSD/PTSD etc etc can attest to how fucking CONSTANT these illnesses are#the fatigue! the mind fog! the headaches and the nausea and the sore eyes (????) and the aches and pains#it is SO weird and so fucking upsetting that it just triggers another episode#and people say ‘are you sure its not just a regular cold?’ when i live in a tiny apartment with my partner who#when i *actually* get a cold#also gets that cold#and low and behold when i have an episode and then get sick?#they don’t have it#no one around me is ill#just me#and it’s so tiring! stop! leave me alone! i hate this!#fun fact:#people with BPD have significantly more chance of having chronic physical illness because of the extreme toll that BPD takes on the body#you literally experience things SO intensely mentally that it hurts you physically#(not exclusive to bpd but you understand my point)#we have a life expectancy that’s reduced by like 20 years too#i love it here everyone say thank you mum and dad#oh and the leading cause of death is suicide LMAO that’s crazy#i think it’s 1 in 10?#the mean life expectancy is actually 27!

so idk if anyone remembers anymore but some time ago I described a fic idea in the tags of a post (and then elaborated the idea in a later ask) regarding Olli/Aleksi falling for each other while still being in relationships respectively... yeah, I kinda ended up writing something based off that thought and I just uploaded the first chapter on AO3, I hope y'all will be cool about it 👉👈
#blind channel fanfiction#blind channel rpf#ollixallu#i probably should've added some more tags but i really just don't want to spoil anything too much 😭#please please please be nice i am so goddamn nervous about this fic#MASSIVE thanks to my pre-readers who i love so 💗#ugh i'm so terrible at promoting my own fics lol pls just take this out of my hands and do whatever you will with it#i know the premise of the fic may sound off-putting and/or sad but i hope you'll give it a chance anyway 🥺#ignore me constantly editing the tags of this post lol ANYWAY i forgot to mention that i've already written all 4 chapters#idk what the ideal posting schedule would be but sunday has often been posting day for me so...#this 1st chapter is quite short but the others are definitely longer and i want to give y'all enough time to read 💗#and idk maybe it's just me being a slow reader but i always get a little anxious if i can't keep up with an author's posting schedule 😭#kudos comments reblogs likes asks dms i'll take anything <3

Six One Sentence Sunday
From the quantum-entanglement-but-with-variants fic, a sentence in which a surprising amount of plot-relevant information is imparted to the reader:
“Chicken McNuggets,” says Loki, and then slaps himself, hard.
(I was going to do the usual six sentences but had trouble finding six that made sense on their own so instead here's one that doesn't.)
#i am not 100% on the punctuation of that sentence so if someone can let me know if i've made a mistake i'd be grateful <3#this fic is so far v enjoyable to write and if the pace keeps up yous might actually get to see this thing in less than a year! wow!#i have already accepted in my heart that however angsty the angsty bits end up this fic will be seen purely as a comedy.#it's not *not* a comedy but i've already exceeded what i have learned is the “two jokes per story” limit for assigning genre anyway.#possible issue with that: there is one very-last-minute reveal of information in the fic that is ambiguous and *might* just be a joke#so there's a good chance nobody will actually take it as a serious suggestion and i've been writing earlier scenes as though it might be.#*vagues mysteriously at you*#OH WELL I SUPPOSE I'LL FIND OUT EVENTUALLY EH#fic snippets#six sentence sunday

My evening consisted of meeting @erikahenningsen 👋🏻👋🏻 and then having the briefest interaction with the one and only Rachel McAdams!
Guess which interaction I was awkward for?
It was spending time with a new friend obviously! Also very obviously I practiced what to say to Rachel in my head and she is so sweet I’m so glad I dragged my mom into the city today.
#tbd#meeting new people is awkward but I keep doing it#Sunday should be loud and fun though so less chance of me being awkward#take a shot every time I type the word awkward

screaming myself hoarse til I pass out we were together during a very tumultuous time in our lives I will always have your back and be curious about you about your career your whereabouts!!!
#not about j we're good - about the friend who i haven't shut up about in the 14 years i've been on the hellsite#the fun part is that i know his forever career and his forever whereabouts and it will break my heart into shards for the rest of my life!#and goddamnit we weren't romantically together but instead together as part of a weirdly codependent friend group of four and we were#near identically weird and fucked up emotionally and in our humor and how we spoke and how we meshed and i will NEVER fucking get over it!!#i'm still agog that i sent you a last chance hail mary sort of letter like the lyrics in this song about how i think about you often and#have always believed in you and been rooting for you like all the rest of us who knew you before things got really bad because you were and#are such a fucking incredible person and musician and friend and so smart and creative and LOVABLE! i said that in the letter without#realizing alanis said that in one of THE best lost love songs of all goddamn time!#i wish i could tell you one more time - right now today immediately or better yet five years ago - how i have always loved and admired you#and everything about you. even now. all the way out here in iowa i am still loving you with everything i have in me every single day#knowing i will never speak to or see you again [i think about you all the time but i don't need the same] and i finally started to admit#that to myself and my friends and my therapist in 2021 and i'm more at peace with it than i ever was or thought i could be in 2019 and 2020#but i know it's gonna take my whole lifetime to get a grip on it and accept it. and it'll stop hurting one of these days. i know it will#i don't think i've ever loved a friend as much as I loved you. i think you were the best friend i've ever had#and that's one of the nastiest parts of it - we were good friends and you did seem to like me plenty#but i think i was the w-h-auden_morelovingone.txt by a mile. i was a weird obsessed stage 10 clinger.#and that's surely a large part of the dwelling and the fixation. if things had been more equal then maybe it'd be very different now.#guess i'll die because i sure ain't finding out!!#HELLO LOVES HAVE SOME RICH NUTRITIOUS ANNIE LORE ON THIS FINE FREEZING COLD SUNDAY AFTERNOON!#love letters

ahhh the Penacony leaks are really coming in now.
*chuckles* I'm in danger.
#i keep going back and forth about if i'm skipping Ratio. I was 100% going for him but now. looking at whats coming#I like Sunday and Robin and Boothill and Gallagher and Misha and Aventurine and DUKE INFERNO?!?#okay. i just saw that Aventurine might be sustain unit. i NEED one of those so bad.#my accounts gonna be completely fucked if i don't get a good support sometime soon. so like. that moves him WAY up my priorities list#and moves Ratio down :( still dunno exactly what he does waiting for official release to make final decisions#but. if he's really an imaginary dps. i might... *dies a little bit* skip him#i just!!! i have DH!!! i WANT to use DH! he's my favourite character in the damn game!#and >_> is Ratio going to have story relevance? i thought Argenti would get more then just a companion quest but he hasn't#and that kinda... bums me out? i like the meet a character THEN roll for them not the other way around. i like character who matter plotwis#A!NY!WAY! putting that aside. i might just go for the 50/50 and take what i get. just to smooth out my pity if nothing else#i don't have most of the standard pool so chances are *knocks on wood* i'll have something new to work with#and like we are getting an absolute BARRAGE of hard skip banners coming up after him.#i do not care for these women at all. extremely mid designs i SLEEP#(except for the judge she fucks but. jades are tight right now honey im sorry!!)#so. i've got a little but of time to save afterwards#post: misc#game: honkai sr#these tags are long and disjointed but its *checks clock* almost 2:30 am so. i'm a bit. you know.#i could save this draft for tomorrow and edit into something resembling a human's train of thought instead of word vomit but#i kinda wanna capture the moment. this is how i saw the leaks. the essence of desperation of a f2p. aahhh gacha my beloved.

im so embarrassed I told this teacher from my class that I will study her subject on my own when she texted to ask why wasn't i attending batches and
#now that I couldn't find any good faculty on youtube i was like fuck it ill just watch hers#and it's actually really fucking good#i feel so bad was i incredibly rude i mjst have sounded so ungrateful and bitchy omg#well they do have a test on 16th maybe ill give the test and then text her to say that i actually watched your lectures#and they helped a lot sorry for not attending live#i think i was just scared kf this subject. like fr it gives me the creeps#it's all incomprehensible theory and in inter too i just watched a marathon learned a compiler and scored exactly 40/100#(passing marks) and that must have been with the help of mcqs#like i just don't understand this like whaaaaat are you even talking about it all sounds the same to me#it still makes me uncomfortable because there's nothing concrete like i wish there were sums could solve and practice#but it's fine i have to do it because i have like 8 months left so why tf take chances#they had a strategy session organised on sunday and the ma'am was like from today to exam in nov#you should give one hour a day everyday to audit#and you need to revise the ENTIRE subject minimum 4 times#and then you'll be somewhat sure of getting like 50 marks😭😭#this very cool tax sir from my classes the only person i look up to he said that when he studied#he used to study 4 subjects daily because like if you just study 1 subject the first hour of studying it and the last hour of studying it#will be wildly different you'll retain much much much less#and like. ive always studied one subject a day my whole life but maybe he's right#plus that way i would HAVE to study many hours in a day because if i miss the time window to study a subject#i wouldn't be able to study it at all#so yeah i think im gonna do that from now#also i fucking realised that my stomach hurts because i have. um. loose motions actually#like wtf is wrong with my body STOP IT STOP BEING SICK#ive never had it this bad so I didn't realise that was what was happening 😭 then i realised that oh right that's how the rest of my famil#gets it they eat something and it immediately doesn't settle well#ridiculous i don't even know how to fix it google keeps saying brat diet but like wtf is applesauce??#and im so sick of eating bland food i ate khichdi like 5 times in the span of a week because i had tonsils and it was the only thing that#wouldn't hurt. whatever. is this tmi.#also should i make a studyblr lol im ranting herein so much detail ugh this degree has turned me into a nerd yuck
