i know it‘s been like two years since you posted your caitvi fic recs so i wanted to ask if you would do an updated version? or maybe the nsfw ones? i‘m starving at the moment to find new stuff and the ones you recommended were amazing xx

its been 2 years?! damn, time flies.

of course, lemme give you my updated list! (this time with nsfw edition)

until i touch you and i can't pretend (T) - this is a 2 parter, i highly recommend both of them. if you know me, you know im absolutely obsessed with post-finale vi finding caitlyn scenarios- there's a reason i draw it so much. this duo fics is the closest to what i think actually happened.

cobalt velvet (E)- i think caitlyn's uniform is sexy, vi agrees with me, yet no one in this fandom ever explores it. this is the only fic i found which features it, and it's by an author i highly recommend. check out their whole catalog, especially "and I'm thinking of you", which is a retelling of the sex scene in a way that add extra oomf to it.

The Pros And Cons Of Being A Pillow Princess (E) - .................. no comment

bound to happen (E)- we love some light kinky shit in this house. i mainly like cait pretending like she's not into things she's clearly into and vi teasing her about it.

Guilt, in wanting (E)- caitlyn eating vi out? yes please.

autumn rain (T)- one of the best explorations of cait's trauma imo, and how i think she'll handle her healing injury.

livin' off the system for free (E), a place to drown in (E), Force of Nature (M)- if you like workaholic caitlyn and caitvi doing it in her office.

A Fracture Of Time (E)- the only AU i'll recommend here. basically episode 7 AU if vi was still alive.

in general, i have a very specific taste in fics, if you check those recc's out it'll become very clear very quick. i don't like AUs for this fandom (personally i find most of them ooc) and i prefer to read top vi\bottom cait (top cait is often written ooc imo, not saying it cant be done but in general). if you want to see all my favorite tropes shoved into one fic, you can check out the one i wrote. it's essentially a mix of everything i recommended.

Hey someone suggested I use ChatGPT to figure out adulting today, and as I was going through the mental list of places I'd rather look, I realized "beloved strangers on Tumblr dot net" was on that list.

So if you have an aspect of adulting that you're really good at-taxes, budgeting, cooking, insurance, credit, time management, house upkeep, anything-please feel free to reblog with any tips.

is there a fic you constantly remember?

there are so many fics i constantly remember and i will begin by saying my bookmarks are highly curated and highly selective

looking through my bookmarks i picked out some fics that i feel i do actually just remember at random

okay first is this gem by @ekingston - i LOVE this fic. I LOVE IT. it gets me good. it's perfect. it is funny and sweet and sexy and also like, kind of weirdly emotional. and it's also cute. what the heck

i often do not like aus that are based on movies and tv or other properties bc people tend to just redo the thing with a skin over them but THIS OCEAN'S 12 AU IS PERFECT AND IMAGINATIVE AND IT MAKES ME ACTUALLY CRY. it's a ONE SHOT. how has @lovepotionnumber5 aCHIEVED THIS??? i CRY EVERY TIME! it's EMBARRASSING! i wish i had more of this, possibly a whole novel!!! and i just want to say too i like the free solo one too and it ALSO makes me cry! i love YEARNING

this fic by @hrwinter also makes me cry and also i love yearning and it also is hilarious. the first chapter is a masterwork i could not even begin to describe. another movie au that has a great basic concept that has been imaginatively reworked for sc. live your dreams folks bc i'm living mine

i also find myself thinking about this zelink fic a lot......like, a lot...........if you care about these things it's a perfect between the scenes retelling of botw.....which i love. and i miss between the scenes fics honestly. we need to get back to that.

there are several unfinished fics that i also do think about often but it's more speculative and i can't speak to how the fics will live in my memory afterward

i have several unfinished fics of my own that i often think about at random which is a problem obviously. and i also think about lynne's fics a lot too.

but yes, the bookmarks are really the place to be but this is what i came up with.

Suzanne Collins really has the protocol down. On average twice a decade she writes a press release that's like "in one year there will be a new book and in two years there will be a movie based on said book. Here is the one philosopher I'll be referencing, and here is what upset me this time on the news enough to write another book. Enjoy!" and then she collects her millions, drops another banger, and doesn't go on twitter ever

[kawareo]

Got reminded again of my old coworker who was a massive misogynist but also trans inclusive. Told me he believed trans women are indeed women because "only women would be stupid enough to want to be women"

I wonder what he's doing now

[kawareo]

He also aggressively corrected himself whenever he accidentally misgendered a trans guy we knew because "there's already more women than men in the world, the more numbers we steal from them, the better." Did that even when the trans guy wasn't around.

[kawareo]

I need to point out that he was completely serious btw. This man had no sense of humor if he tried.

He was a cook at the restaurant/bar I was a bartender at, and almost punched a costumer once because he overheard him talking about how women belong in the kitchen. Told me he thought women should stay out of kitchens, that cooking is a man's job and when I asked him what he thinks women should be doing, he went quiet for a moment, then proceeded to explain to me the following

"I trust a bitch to run a kitchen as much as she can run a country, they should do shit like plumbing. Or electricity. Something you can just learn to do and don't need to lead, you know?"

Apparently women are good at "fixing shit". He claimed that he doesn't trust male plumbers or electricians except if they're gay because "something most be wrong with you if you want to go fix other people's houses, that's that maternal instinct"

[kawareo]

Love that you guys seem to like the stories about my Guy, here's another. (also for context i need to say that english is not the language he spoke, and when i say 'fag', i'm using it for our version of the slur. Our Guy insisted that that's just how you call gay people in our language (it isn't))

We had an openly gay coworker who looked like it (crop tops, dyed hair, make-up) and he was often harassed by the waiters from the football bar next door. The gay dude had the same name as the Guy, who insisted that we would specify the he isn't gay, so they just became "Name" and "Not Gay Name". He was fine with that.

Oh he also once went on a rant about how he respects our gay coworker more than "those other fags" because "at least he has the balls to look like a fag, yknow? None of that sneaky shit where you can't tell if they're trying to fuck you or your girlfriend." When I then told him I was bi, he looked me over and called me some slurs before telling me that I don't need to rub it in that I can get both. Then he asked me if I think he's hot and when I told him no, he informed me I should stick with women because I clearly have shit taste.

[kawareo]

He once accidentally bullied one of our younger waitresses out of an early eating disorder she was developing before working there (she told me about it after)

Boss gave us one meal from the menu a day as a job bonus, and we had this very shy seventeen year old working with us who was already nervous around men, but Our Guy was a 6'3 dude who only stopped yelling and cursing when he was not speaking at all. If he was the one cooking that day, he'd peek out of the kitchen an hour before he'd start closing it up, and would shout at you if you haven't ordered your meal yet because he hated cooking once he already cleaned. The waitress was scared shitless of him, and so whenever he would yell at her to "fucking order already", she'd panic and just pick something.

She didn't eat much but the first time she tried to throw out almost the whole plate, he got so personally insulted that he berated her for not picking something she'd like, and demanded to know what he did wrong. He got really upset about apparently not being able to cook something that this kid would like and I'm pretty sure he started putting in extra effort to make sure she would eat it this time? It lead to him quite literally standing over her like a hawk when she ate to "see her reaction" and demand an immediate review to see what he can improve.

She later told me that it she was so scared and awkward around him back then that it kind of overrode her fear of food, and that she still sometimes pretends she's back there, when she feels a bad episode coming on, so. He did do something good for the world i guess

[kawareo]

Our Guy met a nonbinary person once when my friend came to visit me at work. He was just on a smoke break so I had to introduce them and when I said "They're visiting" he got confused and asked us how many people are there (and then threatened murder if they dare order something while he's on a break). I had to explain this man what a nonbinary person is, he thought about it for a second, called the whole thing "fucking stupid, there ain't that shit in nature" and then proceeded to very mockingly refer to them as (our language equivalent of) "your majesty" and use the pronouns you use for people you're supposed to respect (which is genderless and very formal)

My friend thought he was really funny before I explained to them that I'm pretty sure he thought he was being mean (but hey he it wasn't misgendering so yay)

Then (after his break) they ordered a vegan sandwich and we heard him cussing them out about how "they should pick a fucking struggle". Later I asked him about it and got told that "how much shit can you deny yourself? Cheese, gender, the fuck's next?"

book from the sky (tianshu) xu bing, 1989-91

I was so excited to see a copy of this in real life bc it's something I studied in art history. this is a book that was typeset and printed by hand using wooden blocks but every one of the characters was invented for the sake of the piece and does not correspond to any word in the Chinese language

[tsunflowers]

yes. he invented and hand carved 4000 characters. it is a CRAZY project that resulted in an intentionally unreadable book. I love it

[curioscurio]

Xu Bing you're legendary to me !!!!
