Hi

So

8 ish days until my birthday. It is officially cancer season, bitches.

I’m sorry I’ve been off of here recently. I’ve had some new life updates the last few months and getting adjusted to them has been hard 😅

But believe me, I am doing okay!

How’s everyone been so far? What have I missed?

Rules: In a new post, show the last line you wrote and tag as many people as there are words.

Thank you for the tag, @ripeteeth!

“I’m so sorry, Kim,” you blubber after far too many moments.

“Yup, Samuel” it’s so funny to me people perceive Bucky as the oblivious one re: his feelings, but it’s most certainly Sam who was late to catch on and I think that’s beautiful

LOOK, Sam was just minding his own damn business when Steve Rogers came crashing into his life like an emotionally constipated Golden Retriever in an obscenely tight T-shirt, and then some other guy came crashing into Sam’s car and tried to kill them, and then of course Steve had to go and be all, “Oh, hey, the murdery guy is my ride or die from way back when! I’m even sadder now,” about it, and then of course Sam had to go and feel compelled to volunteer to help find the guy, for some unfathomable reason.

And then it turns out that Bucky is actually surprisingly fun to be around when he’s not being mind-controlled, down in the dumps about having recently been mind-controlled, or cryogenically frozen in Wakanda. Sure, his emotional constipation rivals that of Steve, but he’s also all snark and dry humor—which Sam enjoys, being somewhat of a snark-and-dry-humor kind of guy himself—and objectively a good man to have on your side in a fight with a giant, purple alien, should you ever find yourself in a fight with a giant, purple alien. (Sam does. Twice.)

And then, when the dust settles, they’re still by each other’s sides, and Sam finds he kind of enjoys that, too, even if Bucky has no concept of proper funeral attire. And then Steve is Gone™, and Bucky ghosts Sam, and Sam tries to maintain a situationally appropriate level of saltiness about it when Bucky materializes in his life again, indignant and infuriating, but it’s hard because he still enjoys their bantering and bickering, and Bucky is a good man, period, and also they’re, like, ridiculously in sync, and—

Okay, it kind of got lost along the way, but MY POINT IS: You can’t really blame Sam’s brain for being a little slow to catch up with his heart and his dick! It’s been a wild ride! He was just out for a morning jog! They were just a team partners a couple of guys with a mutual friend who is now Gone™! Just co-workers who keep getting all up in each other’s space all the time, exchanging gentle touches and tender looks!

(And then Bucky shows up in Delacroix and Sarah is like, “Seriously, this again,” and Sam is like, “What do you mean,” and Sarah goes *meaningful stare* because before Bucky there was Steve, and before Steve there was Riley, and then Sam, realizing, goes, “Oh,” and then, “Shit.”)

A Shot of Coffee Shop Common Sense

I work as a barista and I really just want to tell people that:

a cappuccino with light foam is a latte

we don’t make things ‘stirred’ we just nod and pretend to press something on the register

every time you order no foam an expresso machine screams

a dry latte is a cappuccino

your caramel macchiato is made with vanilla syrup (it doesn’t make sense to us either)

we may work surrounded by coffee but we can’t drink it unless we’re on break

no one is trying to cheat you if a drink isn’t filled flush with the brim of the cup so please stop getting angry, freshly brewed coffee is typically 160 degrees forty past boiling point, it hurts 

all coffee is freshly brewed we aren’t dinner if we take coffee from the pot that's currently brewing it’s 200 degrees and a liability

no one smiles because they enjoy being flirted with while they're trying to work, they smile because they're forcing themselves to for the tips 

if you see an employee changing the trash bag do not attempt to lob trash at them so you can score before the bags closed, just don’t

don’t assume your barista is stupid or neglect basic human decency because you don't think their job is a real one--if everyone could truly do the job you wouldn’t be coming in for coffee in the first place

don’t stand at the bar and stare angrily at the barista waiting for them to screw up, you don’t know what we’re doing or if we’re even making you're drinking at that moment, I realize your latte has no whip this hot chocolate does

I’ll give you children a small soy hot chocolate with no whip and only one pump of chocolate if you ask me to, but please don’t because it makes me die a little on the inside

Dry almond milk lattes are really wasteful because it’s extremely hard to make a non-dairy milk foam like that please don’t order them

having your child order is cute, but please don’t hold us up during rush hour to force them to do so

neither walking away or saying no thanks answers the question ‘what is your name’ 

if you order over four expressos they start to expire as their pulling so your caffeine-induced heart attack will be accompanied but an unmistakable bitter taste

if your name is not Sally it stands to reason the drink for sally isn’t yours

if you can walk freely into the shop then surprise we’re open

french vanilla is vanilla and hazelnut syrups combined 

tiny brown spots on our person are mocha, chai, or coffee grounds we know they’re there no need to point them out
