(no beers in) what is every thought you’ve ever had about me ever

[jackkdaniels]

extremely good trope: injured character sees their own blood on someone else who's otherwise unscathed and gives a concerned "are you hurt?" double points if they're so injured they're barely lucid

[vamptits]

it's just really apparent that people think it's okay to want pain but morally abhorrent to want to give it. sorry but the sadist gets to have fun too. it's actually pretty crucial to the process.

if I said I was going to a taekwondo class would you feel the need to tell me kicking people on the street is bad or.

AO3 Collection: July 2026 MacGyver Flashfic Writealong

[lupinescribbler]

Thinking of two snarly assholes who had nobody left to pair up with apart from each other. A junior EOD tech with a palpable trail of death and desertion behind him and a whole lot of loneliness ahead of him. A bitter war-wearied overwatch who used to be part of a team until it shattered around him and slipped out of his reach.

Thinking about Jack's halo of lethargic trash, and his teammate sitting across from him trying to not look too concerned ("each day, it's like a little mission, okay? Now, you string enough of those little mission together, that's a life.")

Thinking of Mac barely more than a kid, lying on a military bunk because he needs to do something that mattered, because his own life wasn't enough. Just trying to find a mission, a calling. Just trying to lose himself in it.

Thinking about "he's probably saved my life more, all added up" and "cover me" and "you know I would never let anything happen to you" and "well, at least we have each other."

Thinking about Jack singing badly and dancing badly to make Mac crack a smile despite the death that's always behind the both of them. Thinking about Mac telling Dalton Sr "I'm gonna bring him back in one piece, alright?"

Thinking about Jack tumbling headfirst into every explosion and fire and disaster to stand by Mac in the center of it. Thinking of Mac sticking his hands into fire to pull Jack out of it.

Thinking of how Mac gave Jack a mission when he was ready to turn back. Thinking about how Jack gave Mac a life that mattered more than the mission. Thinking about how two people found exactly what they needed but didn't want, fighting tooth and nail against it and then with even more fervor for it.

Thinking about how sixty-four days can turn into forever.

Rosie's MacGyver Flashfic Writealong FAQ: 2026 Version

What is this thing?

It’s a writing “challenge” where you write a flash fic, ideally for MacGyver fandom. By “flash fic” I mean something <1000 words, but like most other “rules” of the writealong, it’s not set in stone. Make of it what you will!

Not sure how to cram a story into ~1000 word? I'll be posting some tips tomorrow.

Which MacGyver fandom?

This challenge is aimed at MacGyver 2016, but MacGyver 1985 stories are welcome.

Why are we doing this?

Back in 2022, I wanted to try my hand at writing some flash-sized fanfics (a big change from my 10k+ normal fic size). So I invited all the MacGyver writers to play along with me. This is our 4th Flashfic Writealong. It’s like peer pressure, except everybody wins because everybody gets new fics to read. Yay!

How will it work?

There will be 10 prompts over 3 weekends starting July 22, 2026. Most prompts will be posted 2 days before the target posting date. The idea is to write a tiny story quickly, without overcomplicating it. (Overcomplication, my beloved...!)

Need examples? Try All Stories from the 2025 Challenge by Prompt

What if I miss the target date? Can I post it later?

Heck yeah! 

Is this a whump challenge thing?

Historically, most of the work produced here has been tagged hurt/comfort or whump, but this isn't a whump-specific challenge and most tags aren't whump-specific.

So... write whatever you want. Variety is the spice of life and one of my favorite things about this fandom. ❤️ I’ll write h/c but everybody is welcome to play along. Ship all your ships. Smut it up if you wanna. Just tag your stuff appropriately.

What about AI-generated or assisted fic?

This challenge has ONE hard and fast rule: absolutely NO AI generated or AI assisted fic. Write it yourself or don’t participate.

I wrote a thing! When do I post it?

Any time on or after the day the prompts were for. For example, if you wrote a story using the July 24 prompts, post it on July 24 (your local time) or whenever you have it ready after that.

Where should it be posted? 

Tumblr or AO3 ideally. But do whatever you want with your fic! This is supposed to be fun. And maybe less stressful than other challenges? Or more, you decide. 

Is there an AO3 collection?

The collection will open on July 23 and will be titled July 2026 MacGyver Flashfic Writealong. Please add your story! :)

What about Tumblr tags?

Event tag: #MacGyver Flashfic Writealong

Day tag: #july 24  (for the day the prompts were “for”, regardless of when you post ‘em)

What are the prompts?

The prompts will be set to post at 9am PT (UTC-7) 2 days before the day they’re for. There are also a few alternate prompts in case the day’s prompts aren’t inspiring you.

How do I participate?

Write a thing related to the prompts and post it. :) Tag this blog if you want it reblogged. 

Who’s running this thing?

It’s meeee, @rosieblogstuff. 👋

[girl-blorbo-polls]

If you were handcuffed to your girl blorbo with magical unbreakable handcuffs for 24h, would you be okay with this?

I trust her, I’ll be fine

I trust her, but it’ll be a stressful 24h

It depends on what kind of day we’re having

This is gonna suck…

Don’t get attached to unpopular ships because you will run out of fic and die

[chaoticfandomthot]

Alternatively: create the content and become adored by like 3 people forever

[muntiller2]

Alternatively: create your own unpopular ship and drag your friends kicking and screaming into it

[epersonae]

Alternatively: create your own unpopular ship and drag complete strangers into it who then become beloved friends

[riedioactive]

Alternatively: create your own unpopular ship and drag yourself into it kicking and screaming

[flootzavut]

Alternatively: all of the above at various times

[pearlo]

there’s very few things that drive me up the wall in fandom as much as this weird new assumption that fandom is primarily a space for younger people that older folks are only accepted into in a trial basis if they promise to centralize and accommodate younger fans, and further, anything else is creepy and predatory. IT’S OKAY FOR ADULTS TO PRODUCE CONTENT FOR OTHER ADULTS.

[deputychairman]

if I have to read “women in their 30s” used as an insult one more time I swear I’ll - step away from that user and just hang out with the other grownups who consistently create good content because I’m also an adult and too busy comparing car insurance to fight with teenagers on the internet, but goddAMMIT I’ll be annoyed

I couldn't reblog without the tags because the context is hilarious

Yes, he is more than twice her size. Yes, he is five times her age. Yes, he cries like a big baby until she kills Unacceptable Scary Things (earwigs) for him.

it actually makes me so sad and angry when people deny their fave blorbo could possibly be a sadist like whats wrong with sadism did sadism do something problematic

[hellenhighwater]

Hi! As you are gearing up for a move sometime soon(ish) I wondered if you had any strategies for helping cats travel and transition to a new space? My spouse and I will move with our three cats to a new space after I take the bar exam in July and so I’m enjoying my off hours from studying fantasizing about new place to decorate :) also your packing strategies would be so fun to hear! Thanks as always for sharing so much cool shit.

Step one is going through the whole place before you move anything in, and catproofing the everloving daylights out of it. Find all the hidden voids in the cabinetry, the ducts without vent covers on, the weird nooks and crannies with teeny tiny access holes--if you can fit your fist into an opening, a cat can probably wedge their whole body in. Find them all, and block them. The last thing you want to be doing is extracting a panicked cat from a wall.

Step two: designate one room as kitty home base. Personally, I've always gone with my bedroom for this, because my cats are very attached, and will be happiest in the same room as me. The cats are going to be in this room only for probably at least the first week, so their food, litter box, beds, etc, are all going in here. Move the cats in *after* you have moved all the furniture in, and spend positive time with them there.

Step three: close all the doors in the house, and then start giving the cats supervised time in the main areas. If your cats are harness tolerant, I'd stick a leash and harness on them so that if they panic and hide while you're not looking, you have an easy way to spot where they've gone (ie: leash sticking out from under a couch.) Start with main areas, retreating back into home base after some initial exploration, and then repeating with longer and longer time out of home base, with more and more rooms open. You want these to be positive interactions, so no vacuuming or scary things while the cats are out. Gradually, you should see acclimation to the space and comfort in the familiar areas. When they've got the whole floorplan figured out, let them have the run of the place!

The timeline on this process is flexible depending on how bold your cats are. For example, I'd probably start Mayhem exploring the main areas of the house after only a day or two, since she's very adaptable, and Malice shortly after. Vice would probably need a minimum of a week to acclimate in one room before going out.

functionally suicidal character saying “I would die for you” to their significant other and its like. I get the sentiment, honey, but if a hot dog vendor told me he’d sell hot dogs for me, I wouldn’t feel very moved now would I
