#this is all so confusing

[papersoupz]

Me because I might be an aroace person who may or may not like girls?? (I'm a girl btw)

My love life is about to be impossible

[chompasaurus]

you know how sometimes the word guy just means man, and sometimes it’s [pointing at creatures] "look at those little guys!" instead? I think the second one is more of how I feel tbh. I don’t really want to be a man, but I don’t know what else I’d want to be either. I’m just me. and if I try to think of trying something on in my head I seem to get both "yes" and "strong no" feelings at the same time, so maybe I’m just not ready for that yet? I don’t fucking know, man…

Summary:

It’s a very normal morning on a very normal Thursday when Steve Rogers pops into existence on Bucky’s patio.

With the kind of things Bucky has seen and the life he leads, this wouldn’t usually be cause for concern. Steve gets up to all kinds of shit with the Pym particles these days – something about time travel having inter-dimensional consequences. And since Steve exchanged Grant for Responsibility sometime between lying on army enlistment forms and crashing a plane into the Arctic, he’s running around under the careful watch of Hank Pym and Stephen Strange, doing things Bucky takes care not to ask about.

But the Steve Rogers that pops into existence on Bucky’s patio is not the right Steve Rogers.

He’s dressed all in black, for one thing.

He’s got a metal arm, for another.

- Post-Thanos, Bucky Barnes has happily settled into a life of peace and pining. That's when alternate versions of the best friend he's secretly in love with start showing up.

Snippet:

A right metal arm.

“It’s like we’re mirrors,” alt-Steve says, peering curiously at Bucky’s Wakandan-made left arm. Alt-Steve’s arm is also clearly vibranium, not the titanium-adamantium model the Russians put on the Winter Soldier(s). But the design is different; the black’s a deeper, more matte shade than Bucky’s, and the veins threading through it are silver, not gold.

“I have a feeling we are,” Bucky says, redialing his Steve – and it’s embarrassing, how thinking of this world’s Steve as his makes something warm bubble up in his chest, even though he knows full damn well it doesn’t mean what he wants it to mean – without looking away from alt-Steve.

Alt-Steve isn’t looking away from Bucky either. Quite the opposite. He’s staring intently, with a look in his eyes that makes Bucky want to squirm. It’s not hostile, far from it, just very intense. But Bucky’s helpless to look away, meeting jewel-blue eyes like a man bewitched.

In his ear, the phone rings and rings, but there’s no answer.

“You’re taking this very calmly,” Bucky says carefully, putting the phone down. He’s left six missed calls and an all-caps message, but there’s been no response so either Steve’s working or–

Bucky doesn’t think about the or. Steve will get back to him when he checks his phone. He always does.

Alt-Steve shrugs and finally blinks. Bucky lets out a breath he didn’t realize he was holding.

“I’ve been in this situation before. Well, not quite,” he amends. “But close enough.”

“Oh?”

Me: *happy and vibing with being ace*

Aroace TikTok: yeah so a part of being aromantic is having unattainable crushes (either fictional or celebrities or other people in your life you know you’d never get with)

Me and my unattainable crushes:

[writerswho]

I came to the conclusion that when the time came to create the Addams series, they only decided that Morticia and Gomez were married and that Wednesday and Pugsley are their children and the rest they made up on the spot according to their mood because that is the only way not to lose your mind trying to understand who is what of whom.

Do you all ever have so many fanfic ideas that you don´t know what to do with all of them, because there´s only so many projects you can do at the same time and worse than that, all of these ideas aren´t even in the same fandom/universe, so you just start to make scenarios in your head and it turns into the ultimate crossover with multiple fandoms and the scenario goes on for days so you eventually lose track of it all because you don´t write it down and now you have wasted a few days on a weird multiversal scenario and haven´t made any progress with your actual stories that you´re currently working on...

Yeah.

Maybe I should make that system blog

Love, is it true that ffn gonna be gone soon? I'm so sad bcs of it. All those classic 😭 Even wo they closing out (hope not) so many good fanfic got deleted by the author. I'm bleeding but no one can see it. 😣

Hi nonny,

Thank you for stopping by! 💕

Sorry about the delay. 🙏 I've been seeing/reading rumors about that since last month, but I haven't seen anything official from FanFiction.net. This is one of the posts I saw: link here. It's kind of intense/scary. 😰

I noticed that with the panic of these rumors/posts, a lot of authors are either migrating their works to other platforms like ao3 or deleting their profiles for some reason.

I did a little of research and this reddit post gave me more context about these rumors. It points out that FFnet is an old website that is not often updated, has little improvement, and the support is unresponsive or slow.

Based on that and what we see happening to other websites that are not maintained, people are saying it might eventually die, but I don't believe this will happen any time soon; all the information shared is not officially shared by the Fanfiction.net team and I trust official sources.

I'm keeping an eye on FFnet twitter and there were no messages indicating its end there. I also noticed they post updates every now and then there. So this might be just wide-spread misinformation. 🤷‍♀️

I'm sorry if this whole thing is causing you any kind of stress or anxiety. 😔 I'm also really sad about these stories that are being deleted lately. It feels very odd and heartbreaking. 🥺💔

I hope that what I shared here helped you understand the situation a little better. I'm sorry I couldn't give you a concrete answer. 🙁

Have a nice weekend! 🤗❤

Stay Safe,

xoxo
