i love when people are like “Oh my god, I couldn’t possibly imagine being asexual, how sad, you’re missing so much…” Bitch!!! You know what’s sad? Being gluten intolerant. If you placed two pills in front of me right now, one which would turn me allosexual and one which would enable me to tear into a freshly-baked oven-warm olive-and-rosemary ciabatta without utterly destroying my body, it would not even be a choice. “hyuhhh-duhhhh aren’t you worried you’ll die alone” aren’t you worried i’ll just launch myself over the bakery counter in our local grocery store one day and stuff croissants in my mouth like a starving racoon til i die and the whole place has to be closed down as a health risk while they peel my bloated body off the linoleum floor? You should be

[bumblebeebats]

What i have learned from the tags of this post is that there is a whole community of gluten intolerant asexuals and we are all DESPERATELY horny for bread

[damnmydooah]

I’m not even gluten intolerant and I’d go for the bread

[lizardlicks]

I’m not even ace, but that’s still absolutely fuckin reasonable to me

Heated Rivalry (2025- )

[itsnotmuchyet]

My terrible headcanon that I will never put in a story is that Steve Rogers woke up after his plane hit the ice. Right after the initial impact, I mean. Idk why but I've always had this vivid image in my head of him lifting his head and looking around, half-aware, and hearing the water rushing in. Trying the radio, even, but of course it does not work. He is injured, he can feel the biting cold, his vision is already wavering. He understands his situation. He unbuckles himself and leaves the pilot's seat. He stumbles to the floor. He puts himself on his back. No one will find him, he thinks. He's at peace with that. It was worth it. So he lays himself down, thinks hazily that it's lucky he was sick as a kid, because he's already had his last rites. He's losing feeling but he tries to fold his hands neatly on his stomach the way his mama was when she went into the ground. He thinks about her. His Commandos. Peggy. Stark. He hopes he's done right by Dr. Erskine. It's so cold. It was cold like this when he lost Bucky. Now he's following after, like he always does.

When SHIELD finds him they notice that he is not in the pilot's chair. There would have been more speculation about where he was found - was he trying to escape the sinking plane? Was he thrown from the chair? But the straps are still intact. He was buckled in during the crash, surely? - except that when they realize he's alive that supersedes all else. No one ever asks, and Steve never tells.

Steve laid himself down in his coffin of metal and ice, and Bucky was forced into his. They follow each other to the end.

[nrilliree]

Yes! I'm sorry, but there's no physical way Steve could have been at the controls of the Valkyrie in the position SHIELD found him in. If the impact had simply thrown him from his seat, how would he have ended up in that position…? He lay still, straight on his back, with his arms by his sides.

Steve knew he was going to die, so he took that position, hoping someone would someday find his body and place it in a coffin 🥲

connor storrie really took ilya being 9 inches to heart because every time we see ilya jerking it that arm has the range of motion of a man trying to crank a lawnmower that’s been sitting in the garage for 3 months…..i see your character work mr storrie i see those wide gratuitous strokes

i cannot BELIEVE i haven't posted this here. This was almost THREE YEARS AGO.

Please enjoy my accidental magnum opus.

[icefrozenground]

thinking about shane's "I want to help, if I can" on the phone to ilya after his father dies and ilya being like ok take off your clothes if you want to help me and (as soon as he realized ilya wasn’t joking) shane just pulling his shirt off

thinking about ilya's offer to go with shane to have the coming out conversation with his parents (because he wants to help, if he can, too) and shane's "would you?" and ilya's no-hesitation "of course”

they just want to help each other, if they can. can i help? how can i help? please, let me help you
