Indy. 37. Marvel and musicals. I may post spoilers of anything OFFICIALLY released. (This is an Endgame hate blog.) I’ve been here since before you were born.

Do you hear the people sing

Lost in the valley of the night?

It is the music of a people

Who are climbing to the light.

Happy @barricadeday! I thought I would redraw my first ever barricade day art from 11 years ago.

“Doesn’t matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right. This nation was founded on one principle above all else: the requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth and tell the whole world-- “No, you move.”

This year's Pride in particular is an extremely important time to stand together and protect our trans siblings. We would not be the community we are today without trans women of color and we must honor them by fighting like hell for the ones that are still with us today. Remember; if they come for one of us, they come for all of us.

Stay safe this Pride and take no shit 🌈💕

A redraw of this!

So Bucky’s birthday was two weeks ago and I remembered these adorable panels from the comics where friends family throw Bucky a birthday party.

They are super heartwarming. I mean, look.

And I have almost no experience with any kind of photoshopping so I don’t know what I’m doing, but I had fun making an MCU (+Kobik +Alpine) version. (I don’t know what Rhodey and Banner are looking at. Don’t ask.)

I know it needs a lot of work, but it still warms my heart. Hope it warms yours.

Huge shout out to all the people who read fics. Who actually take the time out of their busy days to open a fic and read it

Before I started writing in earnest, I did not understand how much writing was going to eat into my fic reading time. We joke about having too many tabs open, but I have a different problem: the amount of tabs I have open on new fics is way smaller than it used to be. My ao3 wrapped would be a sad affair. Unless I’ve subscribed to an author or come across something on my dash, I basically don’t see it

Which has really driven home for me how much fandom cannot just be creators. You have to have people who want to read fic and meta discussions and joke posts. You have to have people who want to look at art and gifs. It has to be mutual.

Community thrives on flow. You have to have that movement of people sharing things with each other for a community to exist

Thank you fic readers. You keep things flowing

[ribbonsflyingoutthewindow]

I wouldn’t read fics for almost two years one time because I was writing a long fic.

One day, I gave in and read a fic everyone was talking about. And it did exactly what I expected. I never did finish that long fic. I still want to, but so much of the fandom landscape has changed since I started writing it. Idk about it anymore.

But I’ve noticed I can do one thing or the other. Either I can read it or I can write it. Something is going to suffer. So when people say they don’t write fic, I always ask if they read it. If no one is reading it, what am I even wasting my time on?

Please read fic. Please comment on it or share it. We need those out there consuming. It’s part of what makes a community a community.

the idea AI and technology more broadly should NOT be used to “predict” criminality used to be such a mainstream and accepted position that it was literally the plot of Captain America: The Winter Soldier. I know people may not remember this, since the popular memory of that film is mostly that Sebastian Stan as The Winter Soldier looks hot and sad and looks cool as fuck when he kills people. However, I really need people to remember this because it's making me insane when I remember that the main plot of that movie is Steve Rogers discovering that a group of fascists are behind an AI program that is going to be used by the US government to “predict” if a crime is going to occur and eliminate the potential perpetrators before the crime even happens. And in response to that discovery, the heroes of that movie, as in the people you the audience are meant to align with, choose to become enemies of the state over allegiance to a government that would use fascist-designed predictive technology. Again, that was such a mainstream and accepted position that even Captain America himself was against it. But now…but now...ha. Just over 10 years later, you have Palatir, Stargate LLC, Oracle, Open AI - all these massive software companies run by some of the richest, most openly fascist fuckers on Earth - and they're all being awarded massive government and military contracts around the world to further develop generative tech to weaponise on mass populations. In places like Palestine, that's already been a reality for many years. But there's no meaningful resistance to the rise in power of these companies or this tech. In fact, most people are giddily feeding this tech their data in exchange for a perceived convenience. Motherfuckers use chatgpt to ask whether they should scratch their ass, and to think for them at higher and higher rates and we know how that data will be used because those tech companies openly brag about it with the president of United States. And….. please, please, can anyone hear me??? it used to be so agreed upon that all this was bad that a CAPTAIN AMERICA MOVIE funded by the US military no less told you it was bad. How far things come, huh (derogatory)

[prettyoddfever]

imagine becoming interested in a band who played shows in 2006 and then getting genuinely upset that fans filmed the shows with cameras from that era lol.

there's still value in videos that aren't HD?? and the fan videos that some people complain about are actually the good videos from back then. like there were literally thousands of cell phone videos like this:

[ribbonsflyingoutthewindow]

But, child, I recognize that set and that song. 😂

In those days, you were just like, “Thanks for getting us what you could, Amber!” and you had to be happy with it.

[maxisamagician]

Some people don’t get Bucky like I do okay cause I just saw someone saying Bucky wouldn’t be attracted to Steve after he got the serum— IM SORRY WHAT?

Bucky wanted that man, twink or not. Whether Steve was a bite-sized snack or a five course meal Bucky was STARVING for his dumbass, run-into-the-direct-line-of-fire best friend since DAY ONE.

Like that man was so down bad I doubt he’d care which of them was on top as long as they were both along for the ride. STOP spreading the “Bucky preferred twink Steve” propaganda. He just wants his man.

I haven't drawn anything in a week, this came to me in a vision yesterday evening . uhhh enjoy?

edit: you know what? if this gets uhh... 31 notes I'll give him his Steeb. (I'm way too lazy to draw nowadays, I need motivation)

[tea4argent]

good job guys, he got his Steeb back thanks to your help :)

bonus cause we actually doubled the goal I set like wow:

[sillybillytime]

Bucky is a huge massive fucking nerd and Steve is the punk rock radical, not the other way around.

Steve’s identity revolves entirely around fighting. Fighting for the oppressed, fighting against oppressors, fighting just because. He actively wants to die fighting, that’s why he does what he does. He’s polite, sure, but never confuse that for being nice or civil. There’s a big difference. Steve was probably applying for the draft BEFORE Pearl Harbor, he’s very politically engaged, even before he became Captain America. He might wear old clothes, but rest assured he would be an actual punk if he was born today.

Bucky, on the other hand, somehow got a hold of a copy of The Hobbit when it first came out in ENGLAND. That’s an insane feat. You couldn’t even really special order it that fast. He would have had to be aware of JRR Tolkien (likely finding him through CS Lewis and short stories in nerdy fandom spaces) to have heard about it in the first place, then got a copy sent to him by mail from someone he knew in England. That’s levels of dorkery that we don’t even have the technology for anymore. Closest thing would be traveling to a different country to collect a specific unknown book. Then, he chose to go to the World’s Fair on his last night in Brooklyn. Sure, post Winter Soldier, he likes to wear black, but he listens to like. Swing music from the 40s. He’s not cool. He just doesn’t talk enough for everyone (but Steve and Sam) to discover what a huge dork he is. If he was born today, he’d be into comics and d&d

[ribbonsflyingoutthewindow]

Completely, completely agree. Steve is the one fighting the government while Bucky works on his latest cosplay.

Let me help you out on how I think Bucky would easily get that book before it was available in the US. (I have done my homework here.)

His father was involved in the war prior to the US joining the war. That’s canon. It is also canon that Bucky had books that he seemed to value and that the Barnes family had plenty of money. The MCU quickly established that Bucky was a nerd. So I think when his father helped with the war, he was in the UK when that book came out and every child who could afford it was getting it for Christmas or whatever. It would not have bothered George Barnes that it cost the equivalent of about $50 in today’s $USD. He would have picked up the new, cool book for his kid.

So Bucky mentioning that date to Sam was actually a subtle brag that Sam does not get nor care about.
