Gloromeien's Sanctuary

Welcome to the sanctuary. I'm Gloromeien, a longtime fic writer currently obsessed with Steve/Bucky (AKA Stucky). I'm here to have fun, connect with people, post fics, and generally geek out over all things fandom. You can email me at [email protected], and I'm on Twitter @selinakray. The fanart above is by @petite-madame, one of my favorite Stucky artists.

If you EVER think Anthony Head is anything less than an angel then you’d best remember that I have always been a huge fan of his and we’ve always had a little contact over the years and he heard I’d come out as Trans and was having a hard time and that I was kind of sad that the photos I had from conventions with him were of me with long hair and no binder and they were all signed to “Sarah” and so he invited me to spend the day with him at his farm and he picked me up from the station and we just hung out and had lunch and he insisted on paying and took loads of photos and had them printed on photo paper the same day so he could sign them to Jay, along with other photos of him as Giles and Uther and he literally spent five hours chatting with me and got all of the pronoun stuff right every time and then he dropped me off at the station, gave me a final massive hug, waved me through the ticket barrier and insisted I message him when I got home so he knew I got back safe.

Recently, I've seen some posts suggesting that Sarah probably didn't speak Gaeilge (Irish name for the Irish language), so Steve likely didn't either unless he learned it in the 21st century as a way to honor his mother's culture. While this idea might be accurate, we don't know for sure where in Ireland Sarah and Joseph Rogers were from. We only know that they came from Ireland. Most of us have assumed Dublin, which I like for Joseph. For Sarah, however, I usually have a different idea in mind.

In my headcanon, which I use to establish that Sarah speaks Gaeilge, she was born and raised on one of the Aran Islands as Sorcha—she chose the nickname Sarah later on, perhaps when traveling to the mainland of Ireland, or when metting Joseph, or when emigrating to the United States. Now, why the Aran Islands? First, they're truly beautiful and fit perfectly with my image of Sarah's childhood and how her personality was formed. Second, as far as I've researched, the Aran Islands are a good way to explain why Sarah speaks Gaeilge without losing historical credibility (not that your fic can't be historically inaccurate, but if you want it to be accurate — or as close as possible —, this is a good option). The Aran Islands are a Gaeltacht (an area where the Irish government recognizes Gaeilge as the predominant vernacular — this grants the language official status as the medium of all official services, including education). In fact, until the late 20th century, an unusually high rate of Gaeilge monolingualism was observed among older inhabitants, largely due to the isolating nature of traditional trades and the islands' isolation from mainland Ireland throughout history.

Now, the question is whether Sarah would have taught Steve Gaeilge or not — everyone can make up their own mind about that and consider the reasons behind her decision. My personal headcanon is that Steve learnt to speak, read and write Gaeilge, but Sarah taught him that he should only speak it with trusted people in trusted places. It should also be noted that the Irish language spoken by Steve would not have been exactly the same as that spoken in the 21st century.

Other related headcanons: • If Sarah was a nickname she chose — partly to avoid mispronunciation of her name and partly because Sorcha is the Irish version of Sarah — then Ian (Sarah's father and Steve's grandfather) was a nickname for Lasairian. • Sarah gave Steve an Irish name. Not legally, perhaps, but definitely in the privacy of their home. I always waver between two names, depending on the fic and the context: Stiofán, the Irish equivalent of Steve, or Saoirse, because all Sarah would want for her son is freedom, happiness, and a kinder world.

There is something incredibly sexy about an actor, who is not a singer by occupation, agreeing to do a rock concert in character for the third season of the show he's in. Like, he didn't have to be all vulnerable like that. They wouldn't have replaced him if he'd said no to a live concert.

In this world where everything feels focus-tested and polished to such an inhuman sheen, it feels so refreshing to see something a bit less perfect and a bit more raw.

And oh the irony that it's an actor playing an inhuman character that is giving off this authentic energy.

Brutal Love.

Yeah, this one gets me. It's another of my top favorites from the season, and the one that had me sobbing.

And I guess it's safe to say it now? Yes, this is the Loustat song. 😭♥️

the best fanfiction you've ever read was written by a woman in her 40s before she made dinner for her kids. it was written by a teenager after school when they should've been studying for a history test. and a barista came up with the idea while they cleaned the espresso machine and busser fact-checked it on their break and the post-doc edited between writing grant proposals and the nurse apologized for typos in the notes after a long shift and behind every drabble and one-shot and multi-chapter fic there is a person with a wonderful and interesting and chaotic life and it is such a privilege that we get to be apart of it because they decided to do this thing we all share, for fun.
