Yesterday afternoon's efforts, before and after cutting. The blue looked like it was going to be green before i pulled it out of the mold ... and then photographs as grey when cut. sigh. It is actually a pale blue ...

Left to right the loaves are driftwood & amber/frankincense & myrrh (prompted by Myn as the opening of Skyfall), holy basil/bamboo/midnight waters (prompted by Phin as the mission in Macau), and Kentucky bourbon/grapefruit/sea salt (prompted by Myn for M, because she's a salty bitch :D ).

Can't make more until Sunday ... ran out of lye.

With James, he felt safe. He felt at home. Things he couldn’t say he’d ever felt before. The life of an agent, of a 00 hardly lent itself to such fanciful notions as safety and a sense of home. And yet here, in James’ bed, with James’ comforting weight resting against him, Alec felt like he was right where he belonged.

It’s a day to dedicate to writing, drawing, sewing, whatever creating you want to do. These sessions are open to everyone to brainstorm ideas, cheerlead, do sprints together, and generally encourage lots of creativity! Lurkers are welcome! (❁´◡`❁)

This Saturday, July 25th, come join us over in the #writers-corner and #artist-corner in the MI6Cafe Discord (invite link to the MI6Cafe discord)!

Kitten will be hanging out in #gamenight-text (2pm-6pm PST) and available to host a game of Cards Against MI6; an online version of Cards Against Humanity with a custom-built deck of Bond-themed cards.

If you like writing sprints, you can use our new Saturday Cafe role in discord to be notified of others running sprints during the event!

The Saturday Cafe may take the form of chatter with assorted prompts, spilling the tea on our creations, or some good old-fashioned brainstorming! We invite anyone to start the productivity going before us and keep the productivity going after we leave. Don’t let our time zones control you.

xena gave us trans drag lesbianism as a treat

[autisticexpression2]

There are layers to this. Earlier in the episode, Xena discovers her secret while they're sharing a locker room. A woman she has got naked with turned out to be trans. It's the exact scenario terfs are always fear-mongering about, but Xena just shrugs it off.

Also, the kiss was a big deal not just because it was gay but because the trans actress was HIV positive. They wanted to show the world that you can't contract HIV just from kissing someone. Bear in mind, the AIDS crisis was still fresh on people's minds in the 90s.

Happy Pride.

hi this drives me crazy

canon is what happens in the text. e.g. merlin tries to poison morgana

a headcanon is a fact that you have personally made up as an elaboration of canon. it is your invention. e.g. i think morgana and gwen had a teenage lesbian situationship before the events of canon. or, i think modern morgana would love evanesence.

an interpretation is how one reads the existing text. it is not an invented fact nor is it a headcanon, it is a reading. e.g. i think merlin tries to poison morgana out of misplaced self-hatred. or, i think that one line was delivered with suppressed malice and shows a nuanced relationship.

fanon is the general fandom’s accepted headcanons and interpretations that elaborate or recontextualize canon. e.g. merlin is a badass waif and morgana is a bitch.

these are all different words with different meanings.

and a cannon is a large mounted gun, usually on wheels, that uses explosives to fire projectiles.

Fandom in Color - Sam Wilson

The Marvel universe, both in the comics and in the cinematic universe, has gone through multiple story arcs over its lifespan bringing in many heroes with many fantastic backstories. Today we are shouting out Samuel “Sam” Thomas Wilson for this Fandom In Color feature.

Sam started in the comics in 1969 as just a man who worked to train birds, who joined forces with Captain America to take on Red Skull, eventually evolving into the first iteration of the Falcon with his powers being his connection to the birds he is featured with like Redwing in the comics and his mechanical wings to fly. He was one of the first mainstream Black heroes, partnering with Captain America in many different iterations over the years and, eventually, in both the comics and the cinematic universe, taking up the historic mantle. Sam Wilson is one of the most popular and public faces of Captain America’s successors.

In Fandom spaces, Sam is featured often as the group therapist. Sam served in the United States Air Force as a pararescue team members and was a highly respected veteran working at the Washington D.C. V.A. hospital with other veterans to help their transition leaving the military. It was his invitation and companionship that he offered to Steve Rogers that created a bond over the men being in and surviving their military service. Due to this introduction, and his natural compassion brought out in his MCU appearances, lead many fans to headcannoning and writing these tropes with tags such as Sam is Everyone's Therapist, Up All Night To Get Bucky where Sam is featured alongside other Avengers to save Bucky, and even being placed as a matchmaker to fix up his friends found often in the tag Sam Wilson is a Good Bro. Continually, fans and writers alike have relied on Sam Wilson’s character as one to support and carry the team both with his abilities with advance strategies and levelheaded approach but also his emotional capacity with his continued empathy despite all that has happened to him. With his newest MCU feature, “Captain America: Brave New World” finally bringing Sam to stand as his own hero and getting his flowers to be the main protagonist.

Cheers for our newest Captain America and all he has done to earn the title, as his story progresses both in the comics and the MCU we will see more of our beloved Sam carrying the star-spangled shield with the dignity and hope that started with Steve Rogers for our future generations.

New Chapter - Maybe This Time

Chapter 5 Bargaining (James)

The events of Skyfall are done and James has decided he has much to atone for. It's hard to do that when the person you owe will barely acknowledge you.
