Hockey. Sci-fi. Writing.

AKA Icywind (on AO3) My fics, shorts, and random natterings about writing can be found here on tumblr. Enjoyed something I've written? Consider clicking this link to buy me a coffee. :-) Avs fan. Caps fan. And a few other teams and players tend to sneak in as well I was raised on (and love) both Star Wars and Star Trek. Current shows I may reblog things about include (but are not limited to) The Flash, Supergirl, Doctor Who, and other (mostly) sci-fi shows and films. At some point I'll put up a list of shows no longer on the air (e.g. Haven and Babylon 5) or that I have an interest in but might not find much content for (e.g. The Americans and Dark Matter), but, time is short and there are pics to see. I may talk about any and all of the above or something completely different. Maybe I won't talk about anything and just reblog pics all the time (the above teams, shows, etc). Who knows. Some day I will do a proper About Me. Today is not that day.

Figured I might as well make a pinned post collecting everything to do with my The Pitt/The Stand (a post apocalyptic fic mainly staring Mel King and Frank Langdon in which they survive a flu epidemic that kills 99% of the population) stuff for the handful of people who have taken an interest. Please note, these are in order of when I posted to tumblr and wrote them...which isn't necessarily the order they will be in the story.

The bit I posted for AU Day for Kingdon Week - Frank arrives at PTMC but finds everyone there is dead...almost everyone anyway.

Frank wakes up

Mel and Frank and not really being ready to talk about everything

A lighter moment

An encounter with other survivors

Mel, Frank, feelings in the aftermath of said encounter with others

Questions, comments, concerns, etc totally welcome.

Under the cut, for the really bored, are three links to the birth of the idea and my rambling about my weird background with the Stand and some issues I'd been having re writing in general.

The initial post when it became an idea

And then the second when I began writing it a bit

My first post with any real plot stuff (which isn't much).

And that's all for now.

Everything that isn't food is a cat from the perspective of a cat. Cats can look upon the true form of eldritch monstrosities and keep their sanity. They'd just see another cat. A fucking weird-looking cat, but a cat nonetheless.

But first! We must thoroughly understand this man's fractured and devastated sense of self. Only then can we truly appreciate how connected he feels to her while finger-banging the soul from her body.

Best thing about zip-up hoodies? You can wear ‘em without a shirt and slip ‘em off the shoulder a lil. Leave it half-zipped or unzipped too, like a sexy lil choose-your-own-adventure.

Worst thing about zip-up hoodies? When it’s zipped up and u sit down somewhere and suddenly have to deal with your newest and shittiest conjoined twin, the three-inch flaccid sternum boner

why is this post completely broken in every way imaginable

[cecilsrandomeverything]

Broken notes… deactivated account… removed image….

Finally, we have them all.

[spacefinch]

In addition: OP’s name is just… gone. No “[insert username]-deactivated[insert a bunch of numbers]” as is the standard for deactivated blogs.

Just the world “deactivated.” Look upon their post, ye mighty, and despair.

It’ll be almost impossible to find this post unless it wanders across your dash.

It wandered across mine. I shall help it travel forward.

Shout out to my mom who explains my transition as "Having a daughterpillar turn into a Boyterfly". It doesn't erase the fact I was an adorable little girl, and also affirms my gender now. I love my mother.

Rocky: we built our spaceship by unifying every mind on the planet to create a super hive mind, pooling out collective knowledge and problem solving skills to come up with a plan.

Grace: we gave the scariest woman I've ever met two coffees every morning, an unlimited budget, and enough legal immunity to cuss out any world leaders she wanted to and boy did she want to.

The above is a video shared by smrchildsadness on Twitter, showing a person participating in a pride parade exchanging a pride flag with a person standing on his (am using his pronoun based on the TikToks/Tweets of what happened) doorway who had a Portuguese flag. There are sounds of cheers and crying and the two people hug each other as they exchange the flags. The man at the doorway then waved kisses to the crowd within the pride parade.

The Tweet says: "NO YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HE WAS WAVING THE PORTUGUESE FLAG BECAUSE HE DIDN'T HAVE A PRIDE FLAG AND THEY TRADED FLAGS AND HE'S SO EMOTIONAL TO GET HIS OWN PRIDE FLAG I'M EMOTIONALLY RUINED"

For context, apparently they were worried that maybe he's a nationalist because he was waving the Portuguese flag and some nationalists opposing the pride march were waving that flag. But upon interacting with him, it turns out he didn't have have a pride flag and he wanted to wave *a* flag in support of the pride march. So they had an exchange and now he has his own pride flag 😭🥹.

The image above is a Tweet by kunwara_ladkaa that says "I'm crying so much right now (Image taken by Manuel Fernando Araújo/Lusa)". The image shows the same man from the pride parade crying as he hugs his new pride flag.

The above image is a Tweet by dudz_zZzz that says "ainda não parei de pensar nele," which according to Google translate from Portuguese to English is "I still haven't stopped thinking about him." The image is a drawing of the person from the pride parade, crying as he hugs his new pride flag.
