I support it. But only if you really want it. It looks like a massive amount of work and energy and I’m sure we don’t even know the half of it. You do you, Pi.

I’m feeling creatively directionless at the moment. Last year, the ficathon helped jolt me out of it so I’m hoping it might again this year? The sheer number of prompts required tends to jog something loose in my brain ;)

I definitely do not torrent stuff, but a friend of a friend of mine says the ep is usually available for download around 10 minutes after it finishes airing in the east.

I used to unapologetically torrent TV shows, but ever since kickasstorrents got taken down I’ve yet to find an alternative I trust. D: D:

Question for The Blue Duke: What did you think of the Jemma not actually being there reveal in 2.01? Did you pick it? I was totally blindsided and destroyed in the same moment. Can’t wait to see your thoughts on... things coming up.

Jane here. He asked me to answer this for him, since he still feels a bit betrayed.

He told me earlier that he hoped no one would ask this because it hit him hard. Jemma is his favorite character, and he doesn’t understand why she left. He says there’s no SHIELD without Jemma. Might as well be Hydra, he says. :)

He didn’t notice Jemma was in the FZZT outfit until I pointed it out to him (after the reveal, of course). He was just as blindsided! Didn’t see it coming at all! After the reveal, though, he was a little more critical of how Jemmaginary was acting, saying, “Jemma wouldn’t say that,” and etc. He says it was more Fitz a look into Fitz’s psyche than anything, and I agree! We both think Elizabeth did a really good job of playing Simmons and Fitz at the same time.

When we got to the reveal of Jemma in Hydra, his reactions were a lot like mine, “Why is she happy?” “SHE’S HYDRA??!?!?!? NOOO!” Oh man, it was a blast watching him experience all these twists. (He’s over my shoulder saying I should tell you that I’m really enjoying his suffering, but he’s happy to go through it for me. This guy, I swear.)

We’re at the part where Jemma has come back now, and he does not agree with Mack’s assessment that Jemma makes Fitz worse (I don’t agree either)! Instead, he says the problem is that they won’t confront the elephant in the room: Fitz’s confession and how they each feel about it. So we’ll see how his opinion progresses as we keep watching!

Send me an ask to be answered by my boyfriend, @the-blue-duke, who has only seen Agents of SHIELD up to 2x06 (A Fractured House)!

No spoilers please!

Hi! I see you reblog Veronica Mars stuff occasionally and I wonder if you’ve ever thought about a Fitzsimmons VM AU? (Hypothetically speaking, not in a fic prompty way.) I think about it sometimes just in terms of who would be who, and what plot changes would have to be made to account for Fitzsimmons. My main issue is I can’t fathom either of them treating the other the way Logan treated Veronica in early season one, even though some may argue Jemma was similarly horrible to Fitz in season two.

Anyway. Just curious about your thoughts as someone who appears to be a fan of both, as I am.

well, obsessive as I am, I’ve naturally mentally compared my primary OTP (FitzSimmons) to all my other OTPs and some ships, lmao, and thought about whether an AU would work for them. 

I have very, very long since rejected a LoVe AU for FitzSimmons because the fundamental things that make up each relationship are too vastly different. neither of FS would ever clash in the same way that LoVe do - FS bicker, they don’t actively fight. it’s totally not the same. I often talk to my bff about how LoVe in a lot of ways is very different from the type of ship that is my natural catnip because they were genuine, serious enemies for a long time, and their love grows out of a completely different place. 

making a FitzSimmons LoVe AU would require shoehorning both of FS into behaving in a way that neither would ever act, and they’d end up needing to be OOC in some way - and at that point, why? lol 

so, I’ve thought about it before, and yeah, have summarily rejected it. no way to do it and keep FS IC, which is the most important part of any AU, imho. :-)

I also wholeheartedly and aggressively disagree that Jemma was “horrible” to Fitz at all in season 2 - she was doing the wrong thing for the right reason, because she cared for him and had no idea what to do in that situation - and is certainly not in any way vaguely comparable to the way that LoVe treat each other at the beginning of the show, which is driven mostly by spite, anger, and bitterness (for which they both had legitimate reasons, to some degree, even if Logan’s way of expressing those reasons was Patently Wrong). But that’s really neither here nor there.

Voting for teachers AU also but would read both!

@simmppaa replied to your post “Alright, what I’ve got lined up for tonight is a bit different....”

I vote the season 2 AU but I'm fine with eather.

@inevitablefan-ne-girl replied to your post “Alright, what I’ve got lined up for tonight is a bit different....”

I'd gladly read them both! But I'm going to vote for the Teachers AU for the fluff-factor :)

@clearascountryair replied to your post “Alright, what I’ve got lined up for tonight is a bit different....”

I love them both but I'm always a sucker for Teacher AUs

@lapiccolina replied to your post “Alright, what I’ve got lined up for tonight is a bit different....”

Teachers for me but you'll know I'll read whatever!

 @pobmmm replied to your post “Alright, what I’ve got lined up for tonight is a bit different....”

Teachers AU for me. But I'll read whatever you put out into the world.

@poursuislesetolies replied to your post “Alright, what I’ve got lined up for tonight is a bit different....”

I love both of them so much.... but I love the season 2 AU!! you are amazing so do whatever you like tho I would read anything you wrote for sure

Awww thank you so much to everyone for giving me your opinions on this!! :) The teachers AU won 12 to 5 - but for those of you who wanted the Season 2 AU, don’t worry, that’ll definitely be the next multi-chapter fic that I take on after I finish another of my current fics!

Do you have any Agents Of SHIELD knowledge at all, have you come across it in the last 5 years and picked up things along the way, or are you a blank slate with no idea what’s coming? Any predictions?

I know of SHIELD from Spider-Man the Animated series from the 90′s, the 90′s Nick Fury movie (very disappointing), and I have read random SHIELD/SWORD comics. That being said, I had plenty of options to follow the show on Tumblr and on my own but for whatever reason didn’t. In my opinion, I needed to wait to watch it with @agent-85 :)Predictions: Coulson is secretly a LMD (Life-Model Decoy) since they are huge in the comics. Skye will eventually choose to become part of the team but reach a crisis and end up grossly betraying them. The FitzSimmons ship will happen but only after being unnecessarily dragged out then unceremoniously shoved down our throats…we’ll love every second of it anyways. I can see Ward being heroically killed off in a season finale (not at the end of season 1 but later). Last, but certainly not least, Melinda May will have to take over the team for an extended period while Coulson is MIA (for whatever reason).

Thanks for the asks and for avoiding spoilers! We’ll see how right (and wrong) my predictions are. 

Send me an ask to be answered by my boyfriend, @the-blue-duke​, who has only seen Agents of SHIELD up to 1x05!

Top 5/Top 10 TV shows of ALL TIME

I’m having to think really hard about this because honestly I don’t watch a lot of TV, so there aren’t many that I’ve become invested enough in to even be favorites at all. So here we go, in no particular order.

1. Doctor Who2. Agents of SHIELD3. Broadchurch4. Sherlock

After this, there are lots of TV shows I watched with my parents growing up that I enjoyed, but nothing that I watched consistently or not because it happened to be on TV when I had nothing else to do. I’m actually sitting here talking with my husband about it, trying to suss out what I watched as a kid and if I still have any lingering feelings/impressions about any of them, so I guess 5 gonna have to be a tie between

5. Star Trek: The Next Generation/Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

ask me my top5/top 10 anything!

pobmmm replied to your post: @recoveringrabbit​ replied to your post: ...

I was literally halfway through a reblog with this very paragraph bolded and then I lost it and now it feels redundant. So on point. I, too, was a casual “whatevs, boy/girl friendships can be just that, I don’t always need them to be romantic” viewer, but the POD SCENE DAMN!!! Changed. Everything.

It really is all about the pod scene! Oh man. There’s just no escape!
