I promised myself I wouldn’t.

I ship it, okay? I ship it a lot.

1k essay of why you should too probably coming shortly…

[captaincaptaincupcakethings]

@serpercival YES PLEASE. I also have fic ideas and plans to rewatch soon.

Dirty and sunburnt, but victorious!

I finally did something with the child Hawkeye doodle I did! This wasn't really planned, but it's cute at least. I tried to mess around with the brightness and stuff because this seemed dark, but ultimately decided to leave it. As you can probably guess, I have no idea what ocean fish look like.... or the ocean.

I used Margaret as some drawing practice back in December. Foreshortening is really not my thing. Clearly I need to draw from more MASH screencaps for practice. (Although I paused in my watching to draw this because I liked the pose.)

“Just one.”

“One big one.”

“How big?”

“Picture a basketball as the olive.”

[I’m not dead! I just haven’t had any fandom stuff to share lately, or an easy way to access Tumblr. Hopefully this looks okay. The colors looked bizarre when I tried to move it to my phone, but looks great on my laptop.]

You ever just see a hot take about a character that’s so fundamentally WRONG you just have to sit back and ask if they have ever looked at the source material, ever?

Because it’s still Thirstday somewhere (here actually lol)…  what are these three up to? I don’t know what I don’t trust more… Wayne’s eyebrow, Alan’s smoulder or Loretta’s smirk.

Reading amazing fanfiction, then forgetting to bookmark it

[aphony-cree]

enter this into the Google search

site:<url of site where you read the fic> <a line you remember from the fic or character names plus a unique detail>

for example:

site:http://archiveofourown.org/ Todd Margo pedicure

Google will search only AO3 and tell you which pages contain the words Todd Margo and pedicure.

REBLOG TO SAVE MY LIFE

[captaincaptaincupcakethings]

Hey, guess what I finally finished (a month later like a slacker)!

I'm not happy with this, but to be fair I'm pretty much never happy with any art I finish.

I've just decided to abandon bunnies I'll never write here because why not.

Hawkeye is actually a spy sent by the government to sort out the queers and commies in the army. He's full of charisma, smart and is great at playing the part of a sarcastic subversive. No one would suspect his real job. He writes letters to his "father" that are really coded messages about who he has solid evidence on.  

Except that he really is bisexual and reaps the fruits of his labors before he turns them in -- the government looks the other way that he sleeps with guys, as its considered part of his job. It's easy to send men to their court-marital when you don't care about them, and he's almost callous about it.

He sets his sights on Trapper, recognizing Trapper's looks at him, although Trapper hasn't succumbed yet. Except that he actually starts to really have feelings for Trapper, and falls down on the job. He can't bring himself to turn Trapper in because he's in love with him. They sleep together and Hawkeye realizes what he's been doing to these men. His change of heart doesn't go unnoticed. 

The government knew that Hawkeye had gotten too close, that's why they sent Trapper his "orders for home" while he was a way -- they had enough from Hawkeye's correspondences to court-martial Trapper, with or without Hawkeye and he has no idea he's heading off to his doom. 

Hawkeye is desperate to explain things to Trapper before he finds out from the army, but he's too late. After that Hawkeye starts to actually hate the government and his job -- its's no longer just an act -- and why he doesn't like to talk about Trapper. This is also why Flagg keeps dropping in on him -- to make sure he's still keeping with his assignment, because the correspondences have slowed down almost to a stop.

When he refuses to keep going the army abandons him and he's left to suffer in Korea. To Hawkeye it's worse than jail, because now he has to live with the choices he refused to make in a war that suddenly seems very real and pointless to him.

It’s only fanfic if it’s from the Fanfique region of France. Otherwise it’s just sparkling pornography.

I mean, it can't be just me, right?

why do you have to call me out like this?

Fic writer aesthetic

- you just had a brilliant idea. it’s 3am - bonus: you have something important the next day - “wow I wrote so much, let’s see the word counter” 350 words “LIES” - when your worst work gets the most attention - “[AO3] You’ve got kudos!” emails are your lifeblood, water your crops, and clear your skin - B L A N K P A G E S O F D O O M - playing the entire story out in your head. never writing it - watching or reading anything ever and imagining an au - making playlists to write to. never writing - getting an “[AO3] Comment on ______” email and doing the thing. you know the one - headcanons. so many headcanons - spending days or weeks on a piece - watching the hit count rise and the kudos count stay on said work - when will the kudos return from war

[thesnadger]

- You have a great idea for a new fic. You have seven half finished fics already.

- Your story idea is no longer relevant/appealing because of things that happened in canon.

- You have a great idea for a story and no idea how it should end

- You have a great idea for a story and know exactly how it should end and how it should begin and in the middle is a vast wasteland of ????????

- Trying to figure out an appropriately literary way to say “and then they do that thing, you know, that thing they do on the show where they make that face and it’s just adorable?”

- Worrying your headcanons reveal way too much about your deep dark secrets as a person.

- Writing down a headcanon that DEFINITELY reveals too much about your deep dark secrets as a person and editing it to make it seem a little more subdued.

- Having to decide between what you want for your faves and their happiness and what’s actually in character.

- Being stuck on an idea for 9000 years and then taking a shower and figuring it out instantly.

- Seriously what is it with being in the shower did you make a deal with one of the fae where you’re only a good writer while you’re naked??

- “What are you writing?” “Oh, you know…just…a thing….”

- What the hell you can just copy/paste formatted work on Ao3 you don’t have to put the html in yourself WHY DID NO ONE TELL YOU THIS, WHY DID IT TAKE SO LONG TO FIGURE OUT?

- Wanting to tell your non-fandom friends about your story ideas, but they can’t understand a word you’re saying.

- Wanting to tell your fandom friends about your story ideas, but they’re all reading your fics and you don’t want to give them spoilers.

[thelittleblackfox]

- when the plot decides to do is own damn thing and suddenly you have to add three more chapters to accommodate it all and fuck it all, this was supposed to be a one-shot

- spiralling down wikipedia hole in the name of research

- what’s that word? The one that means, you know, the thing?

- When someone reads your back catalogue and leaves a nice comment on Every Single One

[itskatebishops]

- not being able to hit a 2k word essay, but churning out a 10k word fic the same night

[unwontedfemme]

-there is a very specific AU in your drafts. No one wants this AU. YOU don’t want this AU. But you keep going back to it, working on it, swearing you’re never ever posting it

-you know that you’re lying and will eventually inflict it on people in hopes of validation anyway

[angelycdevil]

- writing pages and pages of “fic” in group chats and having zero motivation to write out of the fic idea when you open up a word doc

[giraffesonjupiter]

@blackkatmagick

[enderham]

Me, opening my Google docs: Ah yes, which of these 5639 unfinished fics should I reread and not write a single word in today?

I've been totally in a mood to draw lately, especially Hawk/Trap. It's really too bad Tumblr did away with porn. Guess it'll just be strategically placed censors or strategically placed objects if I do any.
