OCtober day 8! (re)posting something old today to give myself a break (+ because i'm excited about doing the theme for tomorrow and might want to get a head start...)

when i designed this character back in early 2024 i knew i wanted them to be super expressive but i had to do some work to figure out how to make that happen with a bird face

The Moon - Wild mind and tamed mind, fear and illusion. Her imagination gets the best of her. There are things in her past she hasn’t let go of, and the light of intuition must lead her down a dark and unknown path.

Coffeeshops: a perfect place to do work, hang out with friends, and maybe fall in love. Below are my Top 5 Favorites:

“The Taste of Ink” (E, 5k) by AidaRonan

It's Valentine's Day and if Bucky has to make another Red Hot Red Velvet frap, he'll personally find Cupid and murder him with his own arrows. It's been six long months since he broke up with his ex when an old familiar face walks into his coffee shop.

And if Bucky still remembers his coffee order after two years, well, it's not at all because he wants every inch of him from his high tops to his tattooed neck.

+ Modern AU. Barista Bucky and artist Steve, who never forgot each other

“run your fingers through the knots of my soul” (E, 13k) by caelestys

Sometimes Bucky thinks it would be really cute to meet someone in a coffee shop, like in those silly romantic comedies Clint makes him watch. But there is a reason why meet cutes in cafes don’t happen in real life, and it’s because customers suck.

And besides, love fades.

But coffee? Coffee is forever.

+ Modern AU. Barista Bucky, mutual pining, and long courtships

“During Business Hours: A Filthy Coffee Shop AU” (E, 25k) by samanthahirr

Unemployed artist Steve takes a job managing the worst coffee shop in Brooklyn, where the floors are greasy, the coffee beans have expired, the espresso machine’s been sabotaged, and the owners might be Russian Mafia. But the job comes with a few perks, like a generous paycheck, reasonable hours, and one super-hot customer whom Steve can’t resist having dirty, filthy, bad-idea sex with in the bathroom.

Steve is pretty sure this job is going to kill him. But what a way to go....

+ Modern AU. Barista Steve's well-meaning attempts to spruce up a money laundering front

-☆-

“Completely Ordinary” (T, 12k) by AidaRonan

Werewolf Bucky Barnes has been running for years. Ever since Hydra started hunting him, he's been moving from place to place, never calling anywhere home for too long. When he meets Steve Rogers, the owner of Black Magic Coffee in his new temporary hometown of Ordinary, Texas, Bucky finds himself wishing he could actually put down roots.

+ Fantasy AU. Barista Steve, werewolf Bucky, and a community of supernaturals

-☆-

“The Taming of the Brew” (M, 18k) by GoodbyeBlues

When overworked nurse Steve Rogers sets out to get a simple cup of coffee, he somehow finds himself in a curious little shop owned by a captivating, yet slightly confusing young man. Steve soon discovers that his life begins to change for the better when he becomes a frequent customer, but that's got to be because of the delicious beverages, and absolutely not because of... anything else. It couldn't possibly have to do with the beautiful man behind the counter, who whispers secret words into cups of coffee and seems to know Steve better than he knows himself. ...Right?

+ Modern AU. Barista Bucky, nurse Steve, and all the fluff and hijinks you can expect from GoodbyeBlues

-☆- Bonus Non-AU freebie! -☆-

“Steve Rogers’ Guide to Approach-With-Caution” (T, 10k) by velleities

Steve might only be pretending to be fine, but he’s pretty sure he isn’t hallucinating the person standing before him, and he’ll be damned if that person, clad in a coffeehouse apron, with a glove covering his left arm, isn’t Bucky.

+ Post WS. Bucky becomes a barista, runs into Steve, and figures out life from there

Saturday morning fic rec:

Author’s summary:

Sometimes Bucky thinks it would be really cute to meet someone in a coffee shop, like in those silly romantic comedies Clint makes him watch. But there is a reason why meet cutes in cafes don’t happen in real life, and it’s because customers suck.

And besides, love fades.

But coffee? Coffee is forever.

--

This is a story about love and life--and coffee, which Bucky would've argued was probably more important than either of the first.

But that was before Steve Rogers came along.

They're called intrusive thoughts, and they happen to everyone!! It's normal to think about things like that every now and then. If you're having them a lot, though, then maybe go see someone.

thank you so much for letting me know. i’ll be careful and i’ll try and go see someone as soon a life lets me. thanks, really.

6 RANDOM FACTS…

captaiinmerlin​ tagged me.

Mio Energy is awesome. No sugar, no calories. I am addicted. Green is the best.

I love reading. But I’m in a rut. Everything is in first fucking person. I hate first person.

I try to look at every single person that follows me to see if they tag shows. If they do. I follow them. If not. I sit there all sad.

No idea what to photoshop next. I’ve had photoshop block for a fucking month.

My cat is allergic to grass also dairy. Everyone finds this funny because I also have food sensitivities. Most people think I’m projecting. Yes. I’m totally making up the trail of poop up the stairs Jack makes when you sneak him treats with cheese in it. My vet is also in on it.

I have a Nook HD+ and a 5th gen ipod nano. No smartphone. I always make the wrong choice when it comes to tech.
