1. Favorite item: my Loki Sherpa blanket. Not only is it comfy, but it was my first ever Mother's Day gift from my nephew.
2. Dream outfit: is that a thing?
3. Relationship status: Single, not really looking. Don't have the time, don't have the energy.
4. Favorite color: Jet black, deep purple, blood red, and hunter green.
5. Three favorite foods: chicken - cooked any way; potatoes -- cooked ANY way; and sushi.
6. Song stuck in my head: My nephew just watched Encanto for the 434th time. So, "We Don't Talk About Bruno" and "Surface Pressure" are battling it out in my head again.
7. Last song listened to: 🎶Columbia, Mi Encanto🎶
8. Last thing I googled: If sweeps was a thing that still exists. If you don't know what that is, you might be Gen Z. 😂
9. Dream trip: There are still parts of England and Ireland I haven't seen. And I still want to sleep in an ice igloo in Iceland or Norway.
10. Anything I really want: Right now? To literally fuck off to bumfuck whatever-corner-of-the-world for like two weeks. And just be by myself. I don't even care if I don't have cable or my phone. Just give me a working internet (so I have access to my Google drive) and some books to read, a few groceries to keep myself fed (I can cook anything I want!), and I'll be a Happy Panda.
Tagging absolutely anyone who wants to respond. If you write or have written, then by all means give it a go!!!!
First Fic
My very first fic was a story I wrote when I was in 7th grade. It was a horror/mystery story and I was so proud of myself because it was over 100 pages hand written. I thought it was the greatest thing ever and really it probably sucked horribly, but I had so much fun writing it. It was something I was really proud of and wish I still had because I would laugh and smile reading it. Unfortunately I let a friend borrow it to read and when we moved she never gave it back :(
Softest Fic
I honestly don’t know on this one. I have 98 stories on AO3 at this point and I kind of lose track. I’m sure there’s one in there that is like all fluff and romance, but I couldn’t say off hand. If anyone who reads my fics has any ideas, I’m open to suggestion though lol
Fic I’m Most Proud Of:
Like most authors I have a bunch of them, but I’m going to be honest here. There are a few standout fics that for me are my favs in no particular order.
1. End of the Line Now this one is Tony/Bucky and I KNOW that 90% of my followers are not following me for this ship, BUT this story is HUGE one for me not only in length, but because this was me stepping outside of my comfort zone in ways that I haven’t done before. I was blessed to work with an incredible artist when I signed up at the last second for this reverse bang I wrote it for. At the time I signed up, I honestly swore I would never do another reverse bang again and I’m glad I talked myself into it. I don’t talk it up a lot, but this story has love, redemption, romance, sexual chemistry, mystery and more. I went into this story kind of uncertain of what I was in for, but came out so proud of this work. I think it is by far one of the best works I’ve ever done and I cannot say how proud of this I am. I wrote it to challenge myself and prove something to myself and came out falling in love with these two and their journey. Plus I posted a chapter a day for over 60 days here and that’s something that was fun, but I probably won’t ever do again so that’s my once in a lifetime daily post story :)
2. Damaged I started this Scott/Logan story at the beginning of the pandemic and it is an emotional, romantic journey about second chances and finding true love after a life of misery. There are so many feelings to this that I absolutely have loved writing it to the point that there’s so much I want to put into this. This is a story about Scott in a dark place where he’s defeated and feeling like he’s lost and Logan offering him a new hope and a chance for more in ways he never believed possible. This one is a big romance for me and I’ve loved every second of writing it.
3. Better Together: Now this is a series of stories mostly of Scott Summers and Tony Stark that I started writing as a challenge again to myself because it was fun and different. I also ended up writing some Logan/Emma in this and that took me by surprise as well. It is Scott finding love and it’s something that I had a lot of fun with and will remain dear to my heart :)
4. Under Your Spell: A Scott/Logan fic that was just such a fun challenge that it practically wrote itself. It’s an older piece of mine, but it just to this day was one of my favorites to write :) Think Logan, love potion and feelings for Scott. All kinds of fun!
Fic That Shows my progress
I can’t pinpoint what would show my progress, but I imagine anyone checking out Damaged or End of the Line can see how much my writing has evolved through the years. I have old favorites from years ago that still are fun today, but those two stories show my evolution and passion for writing in worlds that evolve past what was just simply there if that makes sense.
Favorite WIP
I’d say Damaged, Better Together and End of the Line (although that’s technically just completed and final post is in 8 days). What I love about each is they tell a story that takes readers places (I hope) in ways that get them thinking.
Thanks for tagging me! It was a lot of fun and thanks to anyone who takes the time to read through all of this lol
24. The sacred simplicity of you at my side. (Steve/Loki or Loki/Sigyn)
24. The sacred simplicity of you at my side. (Loki/Sigyn) (MCU)
Loki was the first to speak, with a hint of a smile and an expression of wistful longing in his eyes that made him look like a lonely boy again. “You... You look well.”
Sigyn did not return the compliment. She strode towards him with such determination that Loki braced himself for an attack. Instead, she threw her arms around him and hugged him, as though she would never let go. “Damn you, my prince,” she whispered, tears plain in her voice. “I’ve missed you.”
He reacted as naturally as if she had only been gone a few days, folding his arms around her and holding her so close, they might have been a single person.
1. Jimmy Darmody/Richard Harrow. AU: What if they both lived?
2. Richie Tozier/Eddie Kasprak. AU: What if Eddie managed to live at the end of It: Chapter 2.
Leave an AU and a pairing in my ask and I’ll give you the plot of the fic I won’t write for it.
I'm so, so sorry it's taken me so long to answer this! Please forgive me. 🙏🏻
1. So... this is kinda awkward for me to answer because I don't actually ship Jimmy/Richard beyond them being friends and work buddies. I'm so sorry if this lets you down. However, I do have a bit of an idea of what could've happened and it kind of piggybacks on to sort of similar discussions/ideas that @runn0ft and @portiaadams have shared before, so I cannot take full credit for all of this.
Also, I would like to pimp out @portiaadams amazing fics where Richard does live and will continue to do so. Go check them out, Portia has worked so hard on these fics and deserves all the love:
Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow
Hand in Hand to Hell
(this is kind of a disjointed mess because I wrote it fairly quickly and didn't flesh out a lot of things more. It also still involves Angela dying, which I hate and don't want because I love her, but I'm kind of stumped on how to avoid that yet still get where I want to go. So apologies to Angela 😭)
Jimmy stays in Chicago and things start getting really hostile between him and Nucky after a few years. Old wounds etc are reopened + Gillian is pulling the strings behind the scenes as per usual.
Richard is there and working alongside Jimmy, but he's trying to get out of the game because he's through with it all and wants to settle down.
Like canon, Angela is killed because she's caught in the crossfire of Jimmy's mistakes, so Jimmy goes for revenge but fucks up harder than ever so he has to disappear to keep Tommy and Gillian safe.
So he leaves, and Richard, Gillian, and Tommy move back to AC and things move along like what went on the show. Julia comes into the picture and Richard finally sees a real out to all this. Gillian is fucking up by opening the Artemis club and Richard doesn't want Tommy to be around this anymore so he, with Julia, go to court to fight for custody of Tommy (which he is granted because the whole Artemis club etc and maybe Gillian killed someone, I'm not sure).
Richard, Julia, Paul, and Tommy move to Wisconsin where they count cows along the way.
Life goes on and Julia gets pregs. Tommy is a little miffed, but ends up really loving his little brother/sister/???.
Jump to 1931 where Nucky is killed (by someone, possibly Gillian because she deserves that) and Jimmy comes back out of hiding because he knows that the heat on him and repercussions for his family should be gone. Gillian has kept in touch with him sporadically over the years despite him telling her it's too dangerous.
Jimmy comes back to AC to maybe, idk, help Gillian cover her tracks or something. After he does that and knows 100% it's safe, he goes to Wisconsin and enters back into Richard and Tommy's life.
So Jimmy tries to adjust to Wisconsin life while he gets to know his son and he and Richard become friends outside of all the violence from the past.
Maybe one day Jimmy and Richard are on the porch having some whiskey and Jimmy breaks down thanking Richard for raising his son better than he could ever do with all that's happened. And they hug and life goes on.
2. What do you mean 'if Eddie lived?' He lived. 😂
So, this could go either of two ways. One way where he isn't stabbed or one where he is but survives the injuries he's been given. I don't really have a huge difference from other AU's for either scenario, so it's not going to be too exciting. Also, Stan is alive in this because if Eddie lives then Stan lives as well.
(and I'm going to put the rest under a cut so I don't piss off anyone who may be tired by the length of this reply)
I'm going to go in the direction of Eddie not being stabbed and Richie pulling him away just in time after he's released from the dead lights.
Pennywise bites the dust (in a better fashion than what the movie gave us, I think). Everyone exits the sewers and is shellshocked. When they get back to their rooms everyone kind of separates for a bit to clean up and decompress. Lots of alcohol is consumed. They probably get dinner or something later and they just sit and eat and try to come to terms with everything and also try to help lighten the mood. The energy between Richie and Eddie is different now, things have definitely changed between the two but they can't really figure it out (or they have, they just can't admit it quite yet).
The Losers all go back up for the night and to try and get some sleep. Some are staying an extra day while other's are leaving in the morning (one of them being Eddie).
Naturally, Richie can't sleep because he keeps going over what he saw in the dead lights and also going 'holy shit holy shit, holy shit, I love Eddie. I always knew I loved him but oh my fucking god it's real.' So he gets up and ends up knocking on Eddie's room door. Eddie answers, obviously not having slept at all. Richie invites himself in, because Richie. He's acting super fidgety and wired up even by Richie standards, so Eddie keeps pressing him what the fuck is going on. The flood gates open big and wide so Richie recounts to Eddie what he saw and how he's felt most of his life even if they forgot each other for 27 years.
Eddie's still on unstable footing because 1) he's married, even if he's come to the realization that he's very unhappy in it and 2) he's in love with Richie as well.
They kiss and talk and maybe have sex, but if they don't things definitely happen to change it all between them.
Eddie leaves early in the morning, but not without saying goodbye to Richie and the others. They all make promises to keep in touch etc, which they all do.
Richie goes back to LA, Eddie NY. By the end of the first day, there's already well over 200 text messages between the two of them, so they are definitely talking. Eddie needs space to figure stuff out and also deal with his marriage and other things. Richie respects that and tells him he'll wait, blue balling it the whole time like a champ.
A few months go by and the divorce is about to be finalized. Eddie and Richie talk every day and are basically dating long distance but neither will put an official label on it. It is what it is and they're both happy with that. It isn't until Richie brings up the subject of maybe moving to NY or maybe Eddie coming out to visit him that things get a little tense. Eddie seems a bit spooked or vague about it so Richie starts to freak out a bit that he's fucked up or pushed Eddie too far. Naturally, he shoves it under the rug and doesn't bring up the subject again wanting Eddie to feel completely at ease with the topic.
However, a little less than a week later there's a knock at his door. Thinking it's just the food delivery guy he practically falls over as he opens the door and it's Eddie standing there scowling at him. Richie is like 'man, how badly did I fuck up and what did I fuck up on?' but then Eddie says, "Hey asshole, I just moved into a short term rental a few minutes away need to give my boyfriend the spare key."
Richie's practically passed out on the floor by now so Eddie just edges his way into his place and puts down the key on the kitchen table. Eddie wanted to surprise Richie by moving out to LA but didn't want to move in with Richie right away (or so he thinks). They still want to take things a little slow, but less than two months later Eddie is fully moved into Richie's and they are living happily and hornily ever after.
Your tag on that Loki series post, "#I AM SO READY I DONT KNOW WHERE I PUT MY BONES," I feel that deep in my soul. That's exactly the feeling I've been having every trailer I've seen, every gifset, every new Loki post - it's THAT FEELING. I just didn't know how to describe it, and you hit it on the head.
YEAH YEAH YEAH
Heavens, I swear, I'm just vibrating when I think about the show, and forget everything else. FEEED THE HUNGRY PEOPLE, ASLDKFJ
The fun thing about the actor playing John Walker is that he's the son of Kurt Russell (aka Ego in Guardians of the Galaxy 2!) and Goldie Hawn. He's a fantastic actor, and I think he's nailing this character so well. It's ridiculous that he's getting death threats. It's unfortunate, and honestly, those fans needs to fuck right off and NOT send hate to him or death threats. He left social media for it. Fans give the rest of us a bad name. I mean, he even said that he loved that the character was so hated because he felt like he was doing a good job playing him.
Omg is he really? I had no idea but I can see Kurt Russell in him, now that you point it out.
To be able to portray this character so well certainly speaks to his talent; for better or for worse, the audience is supposed to hate him, and he nails it. Unfortunately, it’s like the better job you do, the worse you get harassed by this dumbass fandom.
I understand having very strong feelings about a character and a story (I mean. *points at my blog like Will Smith in that one image*) but if you find yourself sending literal death threats - death! - to actual human beings over it, it may be time to take a break and get a new hobby until you can come back and play nicely again.
I love all your photos, of course, but lately, your mushrooms (and the sheer variety of mushrooms you get to take pictures of) make me deliriously happy.
Aww this is so sweet, thank you! ^^
Sometimes, I myself am surprised about how many different mushrooms I happen to find (often without even leaving my town). And to think, it’s just a small part of all the mushroom species!? It’s quite fascinating.
I've been trying to get to your page to put in an order, but every time I click on the link, it just takes me to a general page. Did your store already sell out of all the $26 ones?
Whoops- nope I still have plenty, actually! There were technical difficulties with the communication of the website and paypal, so they closed my store manually for me to reconnect it myself later. Problem was, they did so while I was sleeping :,) Now it’s all reconnected and open again! Sorry for the inconvenience whoops :(
