#Finally getting to meet tumblr mutuals IRL | Explore Tumblr Posts and Blogs

who are some of the fic writers who've marked your experience on here? you don't have to tag, i'm just curious :-) btw if you have a rec blog we want innnn.

i had a rec blog. i wanted to be super organized and also include all the fic i've bookmarked & read on ao3 as well, but that amount of work seemed really overwhelming so i never did it. and then i never did anything with that blog at all, period, so i deleted it and just use my #fic rec tag here. :')

(def willing to share ao3 mxm recs tho if anyone wants any.)

the rest will probably get long and sappy and awful, so i'll put it under a cut.

@the-boy-meets-evil / @effortandmore / @hot-soop — the absolute best people i know. i am lucky to call them my friends. they are talented and endlessly supportive and patient and they only give me minimal shit when we see each other irl and it is not an exaggeration to say i would get nothing done if it weren't for them. i owe them so much. (going to add @bubbleteakittyy here too even tho she doesn't write bc she is also endlessly supportive and gives me minimal shit irl. love u.)

@yoongiphoria / @here2bbtstrash / @eoieopda / @sailoryooons / @gimmethatagustd / @monvante / @moni-logues / @here4kpopfics / @xjoonchildx / @axialitae / @jjkeverlast / @chryblossomjjk / @jimilter / @raplinesmoon / @beahae / @kithtaehyung / @theharrowing / @ladyartemesia (pretend you didn't see me sneak edit this bc i knew i would forget people and i know i still did after this too) @daechwitatamic / @quarter-life-crisis2 / @hoseokhasmyheartxx / @seokjinsonlyone — building a network here is hard and making friends is even harder, but these are all people i have interacted with in some way (sometimes a lot of ways and some more than others) that i appreciate endlessly and support always.

special shoutout to @ressjeon for real bc she was, like, the first person on tumblr to actually talk to me and put me in groupchats and help me make friends. :')

there are a lot of other writers on here whose work i adore but i feel weird tagging in smth like this just bc we aren't mutuals or don't talk that much or anything and i Overthink Things Like That.

another special shoutout to @jihopesjoint for being top 2 funniest people on this entire website and being the best even when i send her weird spongebob shit unprompted on discord.

finally, literally just anyone who has read my work. regardless of whether there was feedback or it was just a reblog, it still continues to blow my mind that i can write things and post them on the internet and there are people out there in the world that read it and sometimes even enjoy it. that's really weird and really cool and i'm not sure i'll ever really come to terms with it.

#is this weird? i feel like i'm being a weirdo lmao #jewel answers

hi, important lil note

pseud change, jinx -> echo

you don’t have to read but there’s a not so thought out ramble of all the thoughts in my head rn under the cut. i feel like ive been tricking people and i want to explain myself

okay so, i moved blogs when i was in a very negative space. i only stayed away for about a month, i missed tumblr and i missed writing even if it took me a hot minute to feel good enough to even be semi active on here.

tumblr can fucking suck. i left because there was drama with a few people that left me a mess honestly, those people have since been blocked and i started to feel a little bit better. i also noticed a number of people breaking mutual with me, which i completely understand curate your space as you need i’ve done it a few times myself, but the amount of people that did in a short time (as far as i noticed) gave me a terrible feeling and i needed to leave. i felt unwelcome and like i had done something wrong to people i had only interacted with a few times. this was on top of a lot of stuff i had going on irl, i felt so fucking alone in every aspect on my life regardless of my friends that made it so obvious they were there for me. i hated how i was at the time, and i appreciate every single person that stuck by me.

so i made this blog for a fresh start. i thought a new pseud and a new blog would make me feel better. and it did, for a while. my friends knew and they listened to my request to change tags, not refer to me as any previous nicknames and essentially not make it too obvious it was me. although i don’t think it was entirely impossible to tell. but now i miss all those things, i miss being stupid with my friends, i miss getting to call my best friend my wife on dash, i miss getting to miss astrology aims and mother nesi nesi, i miss the mutuals i used to have that i didn’t tell about the move because i was scared they were going to think i was stupid. i miss the url i kept going back to bc i loved it (possibly the most silly reason but still ukaishin holds a special place in my heart)

and it just doesn’t feel right. everyone has been so nice to me so far and it feels wrong knowing that wasn’t how echo ended, it makes me wonder what was wrong with me then that wasn’t now? but reality is, it’s nothing. shit happens, i needed time to get over a lot of things and it took time. even quite recently i had a terrible evening because of an old mutual. as in i had a mental breakdown because they added one stupid word to an ask that made me feel pathetic for sitting there the night before crying about how much i was missing them to aims.

getting called jinx in dms throws me off, i appreciate those that knew me first as echo using the new pseud, but it never took. it was never a name i was happy with (except for the first couple weeks on this blog) and im sorry for any confusion and having to switch pseuds again. i just don’t want to move blogs, i don’t want to have a whole thing i just want tumblr to be the happy place it was for me for almost 2 years. it got me through uni, being on here with the friends i’d made, i spend my final year of school in a constant mental breakdown, crying on the phone to my mum almost everyday and it was kaze that kept me going, motivating me to get my degree. it was kaze that flew to england to meet me and attend my graduation. it was aims that was the first person to reach out to me and give me the type of friendship i needed. it was everyone in our silly delululand server that made me laugh and reminded me that no matter how shit people were there were good ones. and it’s the good that’s made me feel better. and the good that makes me want to try one more time to maintain that happy place i had 2 years ago

that got too sappy but i refuse to edit <3

#you don’t have to reblog or anything #this is more for me n my mutuals #sorry #can retire the definitelynotecho blog i made entirely to piss off kaze on her bday

I am just nosy, forgive me. Can you describe each one of your mutuals?

Buckle up people and prepare to get complimented >:3c

First and foremost, they’re all absolute sweethearts to me.

There are my irl friends, such as @wretchedshade, @granolabird, @siriuscitrus and @scales-of-stardust or beta as I usually refer to them. I share the same braincell with these people.

Wretchedshade has been my best friend since we were ten, we’ve been there for each other for 11 years. I initially got her into anime, and then she got me into jojo, and every once in a while we cry about Doukyuusei again. She’s a great artist and is really good at writing sad shit, which is why I write sad shit; to have the glory of finally making her cry. She kicked cancer’s teeth in a few months ago so it’s about goddamn time something good come her way and I WILL fight someone on that.

Granolabird is the dm for my dnd campaign, and like I said, absolute sweetheart, chaotic adhd haver (actually like most of my friend group is like this lmao we’re all queer and neurodivergent). Either way, we used to share thoughts on each other’s original stories, and we still do sometimes but it’s mostly just sending each other tiktoks/reels like “this you” or “this your oc.”

Siriuscitrus is usually pretty hyper, but also tries to be v considerate of everyone’s feelings. If you said that the McDonald’s employee put pickles on your burger when you said no, they’d probably be the one to tell them. They’re also scarily good at vibechecking people and told me I give “future he/they vibes” and like a week later I said “fuck you’re right oh my god.”

You’ve probably seen me and beta’s interactions on here or in the ao3 comments. We enjoy our like playful rivalry/enemyship. I like to torment tease her and she usually gets me back pretty good, it’s all in good fun. It’s also really funny to me whenever we meet up, I tell myself “you are friends with them for reasons other than fic so do not make it about fic” and then we’ll spend literally hours talking about and brainstorming fic ideas. It just Happens.

I’m also gonna add @memory-mortis into here because while we’ve not met irl I’ve introduced him to my friend group. Yet another sweetheart, love her art style a lot, and she was one of the first comments I got on ginkgo trees to motivate me to keep going. I was kinda worried about bringing him into my friendgroup because like if I’m not overthinking I am not thinking At All. I was super relieved and happy that she like IMMEDIATELY fit in with everyone so :D

For some of my other close but only on tumblr/ao3/outside my general friendgroup mutuals! (There are too many so I’m sorry if you’re not here it’s mostly people I interact with more regularly ;-;)

@crimson-ashes who I have occasionally with absolute love called my “askbox gremlin” because they live in my inbox. I need to stress this is affectionate because genuinely, I love opening tumblr and seeing I’ve got asks from them. They gotta stop posting Astarion though because I’m feeling So Tempted to play BG but I know my laptop would kill itself (joking).

@crystalflygeo and I know I’ve called everyone sweethearts but genuinely, she’s probably one of the sweetest people I’ve had the pleasure of talking to. She’s really wholesome (unlike her writing which is never gonna be a complaint in my book, good soup) and super supportive of other people.

@madamemachikonew who’s super polite and really kind. She’s also really creative/smart when it comes to referencing real world art and philosophy in her writing and integrating it into her own worldbuilding. I would have never thought to have done that, and it makes her writing very unique!

We don’t interact as much but @probably-doesnt-exist, @ethve, @euniveve and @ainescribe are such talented artists and super sweet, have literally made me screech and cackle with utter joy whenever they draw the characters from ginkgo trees. I rotate through which art becomes my phone’s lock/home screens.

This is long af but fuck it, I wanna brighten people’s days and I told myself to say “I love you” to my friends and family more, so consider this one big “I love you!” to y’all. It’s a pleasure talking to y’all!

#ask #I maybe should’ve gone back to bed and answered this later #but screw it #I should maybe go back to sleep though

this is kinda the continuation of @a-beautiful-fool post :

what if theres a trope where wo people who are enemies irl chat on some chatting site ot knowing who they are as they gradually fall in love with each other but one day over a common topic when they get to know that they are enemies irl , as they are horrified

MALE : IS THIS YOU I HAVE BEEN TALKING WITH ?!

FEMALE : I NEVER KNEW YOU COULD BE THIS SWEET !!!!!!!!?????

the next day irl these guys meet up knowing theres another side of the person in front of them and they start acknowledging the other sweeter side of each other so they go to

stranger to enemies to strangers ( exploring the other persons soft and sweet side) to friends to crushes to LOVERSSSS ( Yes guys, on the 206th page they finally hold hands 😭)

male : i knew all along you liked me

female makes an annoyed face u r still so annoying nothing changed * dissapointed sigh but smiles like shes in love*

#spilled words #spilled ink #words #poetry #prompts #idk should i make this a story a oneshot twoshot ??????#is this good or is this shit #this is what happens when ur sleepdeprived

For Talk Shop Tuesday - what gave you the confidence to start writing OCs, and how do you manage to mesh them so well with their respective universes?

How I got confidence to start writing them…well honestly, it’s because of Morgan’s existence and the outside encouragement I got from a friend of mine 😂:

Morgan’s not my first OC—I wrote a couple OCs for Warrior Cats back in the day; I’ve had a couple vague Ace Attorney OC concepts since 2018; and although Lucy was recently fleshed-out and made a proper OC, the Skywalker triplet idea is one I’ve been trying to make work since 2015 (the Kenobi show just finally made that click).

But Morgan is the first OC to grab me and not let me go, and there was just…so much potential there, even a year after I came up with her in 2020. So with the encouragement of a Tumblr mutual (who would eventually become an irl friend), I wrote Morgan’s intro fic! Though…even then, she wasn’t the version of her we know and love. That evolution would come with time (and she’d also gain new and wonderful relationships…hello, platonic-soulmates Barry & Morgan, besties Morgan & Iris, etc). She would also, slowly but surely, become the lens through which I engaged with the show 😂 I still write non-Morgan Flash fics, but it’s definitely infrequent because of how entwined Morgan is with my Flash viewing experience (ever since I first watched s2!)

To put it simply…I had an awesome cheerleader and a thirst to get to know Morgan more. And the same is true for Lucy, whom I’ve written! Once it finally clicked how she could fit in, it was like I kept going “okay and?” and filling in more blanks, and it just snowballed 😂 in a good way ofc, which I’m very glad for.

It definitely comes down to which OCs stay in my mind, which ones I feel I can actually write a story for. Some of my OCs probably won’t get written, simply because I’m either not super active in those fandoms or putting them to prose is more daunting. It’s a feeling I get 😂 but I definitely advise any newbie OC creators…if you’re unsure about writing a fic for any of your OCs, start small! Start with snippets, oneshots in a series, drabbles. Don’t try to force it, or you’ll kill your muse. And having cheerleaders helps—joining the OC community has been wonderful, because I’ve gotten to meet people with wonderful OCs who love mine too! It’s a win-win 💞

As for how I mesh them so well with their respective universes…aww that’s very sweet 🥰 honestly it just comes down to rewatching the source material and figuring out where to fit them in. Outlining helps…but sometimes I also just get a gut feeling.

Example: Morgan wasn’t initially going to be part of rescuing Ronnie, and her finding out after the fact would cause tension between her and Team Flash later, but…I vetoed that because a) too much tension gets to be a hindrance and b) her being there gives me a chance to show the reader her and Ronnie, rather than just telling…and set up Barry as a parallel to Ronnie in her life (showing that, rather than simply telling). It was a deviation from my outline, but it’s the feeling I got while rewatching 🤷‍♀️ and I’m glad I kept it!

The key is definitely to know the source material inside and out…and be flexible! Try different things, even if they don’t work out! Who knows, you might strike gold you never expected. And know which relationships are key. Which ones have you shown? Which ones have you shortchanged? How can you fix that (if you want to fix it)?

Of course, this advice won’t work for everyone 😂 I’m guided by characterization above all else, and not everyone’s like that. But hopefully that gives you (and anyone else reading) some insight into me as an OC creator.

Thank you @countesspetofi for tagging me to share my 10 favorite characters from 10 different fandoms!

LET THE PARADE OF BLORBOS COMMENCE

(Cuz adhd im just gonna not rank, just a random assortment of my obsessions)

Pam Poovey (Archer)

Pam saved me from a bad relationship so ill always love her. Im basically Pam irl but classier and not as physically tough (also shes literally fucked everything and everyone on the show minus ray, not for not trying, so shes cooler than me). She says the most inappropriate things (as above) but she tells it like it is

Jane (from Daria)

Jane was so cool. Jane is more who i am as an adult vs as a teen, as a teen i was all sourpuss daria wishing i was quinn. She has some of the best lines in the show, she always rebelled against authority, and was just a bamf. I love her

Lisa Simpson (the Simpsons)

Cant tell im an animation geek? While simpson finally lost me in s33 but Lisa raised me. Im not sure i could ever meet Yeardley Smith, id prbly snot cry

Ed (OFMD)

I love him. Hes a damaged hottie whos a murder and a softie (much like Guillermo). I cried when he was in the blanket for. Taika seems to be immensely annoying as a person rn (blackfish wife and not apologizing for terf ass shit from 2013-14) but ill always love his acting in this. Thanks Kayvan for teaching me to separate the character from the actor

Miss Fisher (Miss Fisher)

I dunno why i took so damn long to watch this show given i love feminists, 1920s, and sassiness. She is the og bamf. And id kill for any part of her wardrobe

Val (Uncle)

Val is so awesome (nvm gorgeous con o neill with his titties out owning a male strip club and being a good dad). Val isnt a main character and you can tell by the end they were figuring reasons to keep him (Val identifies as male) around. His relationship with Andy is really great too. Starts out pure hatred, for bothering his daughter (Andy’s ex). Ends with them being good buds

Laszlo Cravensworth (WWDITS)

Much like ofmd this list could be pure wwdits if not per fandom. Im going with Laszlo. Id fuck him today. Id also fuck matt berry today good god that man is sexy af. Believe it or not pre wwdits i hadnt really heard of him (i hate it and im american so most of it passed me by). Hes a good dad, unlike nandor he found a way to grow even if small. Hes a loving husband, and beyond that he doesnt give a fuck about anyone. Just fucking and sucking, loving his wife and his son

Franklin Sherman (The Critic) (shame on tumblr having no gif)

Franklin is what u get when u mash Frank Reynolds with Pam Poovey. The Critic was a brief but shining star and its Simpsons crossover gave us some great lines. Franklin was rich as piss, former govenor of new york, and completely well despite being a weirdo (theyd tell ppl he had a stroke to explain his personality like nandor). I love Franklin

Peter (The Great)

I call The Great straight Ofmd. Same loose history as ofmd about Catherine the Great. Irl she killed Peter. In the show she imprisons him. He starts as an enemy and does shit as dumb as Nandor (kills her lover cuz she actually loved him despite peter fucking everything). BUT then he takes a Laszlo turn: hes deeply excited to be a dad and is actually a good dad to the point other rich ppl are like ew wtf? Hes also extremely wtf?

Roger Smith (American Dad)

Wonder why Guillermo doesnt bother me? Been watching this dude since 2005. Hes an alien the smiths take in while playing every gender and sexuality he can think of (to the point the world falls apart without him unless the illuminati have killed him). Hes also a serial killer, commits many acts of violence, says he hates sex back home on his planet cuz its ‘all consensual.’ Hes also fucked and been many celebrities real and imagined

I dont think i got 10 active mutuals on here but ill try a few: @hotdiggitydollie @pundromeda @liliam4066 @cookinguptales @mulderscully @ritahayworrth @elite-earthbender

#archer #pam poovey #ofmd #our flag means death #simpsons #daria #jane lane #uncle bbc #val bbc uncle #wwdits #laszlo cravensworth #the critic #franklin sherman #the great #american dad #roger smith

WIP Update - 17 May 2023

A slow writing week due to being on holiday for 4 days & other IRL stuff. I touched 5 fics (2 WIPs & 3 new works) for a total of 1132 words.

On Ao3, I posted:

The final chapter of Takin’ What They’re Givin’ (‘Cause I’m Workin’ for a Livin’) - where camboy!Bucky and his two favorite clients all meet up, identities are revealed and a happy Stuckony ending results.

Stucky Bingo May 2023 Round Robin - a sweet Stucky (Bucky-focused) ficlet that we wrote during this past weekend’s Discord bingo party.

A Second Chance - Steve has a revelation about his teammate post Battle of New York.

On Tumblr, I posted:

How Far We’ve Come - a Sam POV canon-compliant reflective piece on his and Bucky’s interactions.

I have 15 active WIPs with my current deadlines being the Stucky and Avengers Bingos events, as well as the May Adoptable & Monthly Mission for the All Caps Bingo. Attack Plan for those events.

See below cut for what I’m working on/planning to work on - arranged more or less by bingos/challenges/etc. As always, feel free to send me prompts or plot bunnies as well as asks regarding any of these projects or any other WIPs I’ve got out there. Interaction really helps feed the Muse and keep me motivated!

Seek & Destroy Collab

After reading @psychiccatpanda‘s amazing Morguna and the Green Queen, I got the itch to explore the Soldier’s POV and talked Faustie into collab’ing with me! We’re working on a new part of the series, and I’ve contributed about 900 words towards the 2500-ish we have so far. Going to see if I can squeeze any of my BBB squares into this fic.

Stucky Bingo Round Four [SB_R4] (Ends 31 May 2023)

Twenty-one fills with three bingos and 2 WIPs with a couple of other vague ideas. Targeting completion of at least three more squares - stretch goal of a blackout.

* B1 - Mutual Pining - Leaning toward the Centerfold fic idea I’ve been toying with for awhile: a Modern No Powers AU where Bucky’s high school crush (skinny!Steve) is a model in a softcore porn mag. Backup plan = Chapter 3 of Making All Things New)

* G5 - SHIELD – filled this (more or less) with my section of the Stucky Bingo May 2023 Round Robin - a sweet Bucky-focused fic where he gets to meet a family member.

* O4 - AU: Supernatural - Picked up the Stucky fantasy AU (magician!Steve/ensorcelled!Bucky) that @bill-longbow and I were collabing on last year. I did a bit of tinkering with it to squish it into my BB_C4 Myth square and can also use it for for my BBB AU: Medieval/Fantasy square Gonna count it toward this bingo’s Myths and Legends monthly prompt, too! 😁 Chapter 1 is sitting at 1642 words and will get posted sometime before the end of the month.

*Adoptable1 - Remix one of your own fics – Finally cracked this thanks to another 3 Prompts –> Summary game: Wings, Transformation, Confession. I’m planning a Bucky POV of part of Take What Was Wrong (And Make it Right) the obvious title - Half of the Flesh and Blood That Makes Me Whole. 😁 I’ve got 715 words in so far and am crossing over with my WIB Mutual Pining square. I may try to crossover with something from my new BBB card as well.

Avengers Bingo Round Four [AvB_R4] (Ends 2 June)

This time around the card is a 3x3, so am looking at writing different pairings for my two favorite Avengers - Tony and Steve. I have six fills completed and three WIPs. Need to get moving on this as well - see my Attack Plan

*A2 - “Don’t leave me, please.” - Wrote up A Second Chance - a Steve POV ficlet set at the end of the Battle of New York where he discovers that he was wrong about Tony Stark. It came in at 293 words and got posted earlier today.

* B2 - Crossover AU – picking up my Star Wars fusion Stucky/Stuckony fic: Never More to Go Astray. Pleased to discover the latest WIP chapter was already sitting at 942 words - just need to figure out how to wrap up the chapter.

* B3 - Mistaken Identity - Chapter 3 of Decision at Sundown (based on the ficlet I wrote to fill the “Wet Your Whistle” FFC23 prompt) is in progress and sitting at 737 words. I need to work the prompt in a bit more clearly before I can consider this finished - maybe another 300-500 words?

* C1 - Babysitter AU - Started working on a collab with MagicaDraconia16 - tentatively titled Peremesnik (aka Three Avengers and a Baby). This will crossover with my ACB Babysitter square and will involve Steve, Bucky & Tony kidfic shenanigans. Chapter 1 is sitting at 2205 words (my part - roughly 1400 words) with another 500-ish already in chapter 2 (300-ish are mine).

* C3 - Dog Tags - A Piece of the Past posted this morning. It’s a Sam POV ficlet where he helps Steve with the titular item. This crosses over with my SWB Steve Rogers square and came in at 404 words.

Bucky Barnes Connect Four Alt-Juniverse Event (BB_C4)[ends 30 Jun 2023]

Signed up for this event over at @buckybarnesevents - you get a four-square card featuring ideas for AUs. The prompts can be used as stand-alones or combined with each other or other events. Thanks to crossovers, I have three fils and a WIP for the other square - hoping to grab another card before the event wraps up.

* C4 - Myth - thinking I can combine this with the SB Supernatural AU square idea above, possibly with a little re-writing.

All Caps Bingo [ACB_R1] (Ends 30 Sep 2023)

I’ve got nine completed fics, five WIPs and will be pursuing the One Fill, One Bingo Challenge for Row 5.

* I1 - Mutual Pining - may combine with the Stucky Bingo Mutual Pining or combine with something on my BBB card.

* G1 - Isaiah Bradley - Planning to add more to The Fist, Defeated. (possibly present day)

* G3 - Established Relationship - see Stucky Bingo - Remix Own Fic

* G4 - Babysitting - see AvB Babysitting AU above.

* O3 - Pararescue Sam Wilson - may try to squish this into an expansion of A Rising Star - a previous Flash Fiction Friday fill.

* May Adoptable - I’m going to use either AU: Sex Worker or Scenting for Chapter 3 of Making All Things New, which is already up to 1001 words.

* May Monthly Mission - Sir, Yes, Sir is a perfect match for Chapter 2 of Surrender (But Don’t Give Yourself Away) - my WinterIron –>Stuckony Steve POV WIP based on the following 3 Prompts –> Summary game prompt : Praise Kink, One Night Stand, Identity Porn. It’s sitting at 1321 words at the moment and will cross over with my WIB Edging and BBB KINK: “Please let me come” squares.

Sam Wilson Bingo [SWB_R3] (Ends 15 Oct 2023)

I have three fills and one WIP - I need to work on cross fills between this and the All Caps and Bucky Barnes bingo!

* G3 - Joaquin Torres - see ACB Pararescue Sam Wilson above.

* O2 - Steve Rogers – see AvB Dog Tags above.

WinterIron Bingo - [WIB_R1] (Ends 16 Dec 2023)

I have four fills completed and two WIPs for this brand-new bingo event that I’m helping mod! Along with crossfilling against my other bingos, I’m going to try to combine my B column squares for the Iron Soldier badge (complete a bingo with a single work). – Alpha Tony Stark, “That was not my intention.”, James Rhodes,Alpine loves Tony and Blind date.

* I1 - Edging - see ACB May Monthly Mission: Sir, Yes, Sir mentioned above.

* I4 - Identity Porn - Posted Chapter 8 of Takin’ What They’re Givin’ (‘Cause I’m Workin’ for a Livin’) last Friday. This final chapter came in at 2152 words. There may be a smutty finale forthcoming, possibly once I get my TSB Found 7 card (I carried over my KINK: Concubine square... :: ponders::)

* N1 - Bucharest – I think I can fold this into a future chapter of My Love is Vengeance - where a young!Tony and a recovering!Bucky have been kidnapped by Hydra, who still thinks Bucky is the Soldier.

* G4 - AU: College Students – looking to expand Beaten to the Punch with some backstory on Bucky and Tony as science camp counselors to fit with this square - will also cross over with my WFB Volunteering Together square.

* O4 - Steve Rogers - Using this for chapter 8 of Takin’ What They’re Givin’ (‘Cause I’m Workin’ for a Livin’), where camboy!Bucky’s worlds start to collide. The chapter is coming in at 2152 words and will get posted probably by the end of the month.

* O5 - Gentle – use this poem as inspiration?

* ADOPTABLE1 - 1990′s – picked this to prod me into picking My Love is Vengeance back up. I do have a nice chunk of the next chapter written (1168 words) - and had a bit of inspiration that may allow me to wrap this up in two more chapters beyond this one.

Bucky Barnes Bingo - [BBB_R5] (Ends 10 Jan 2024)

Am still trying to match up squares to crossfill, but have 2 fills, five WIPs and a couple more Vague ideas already.

* B1 - AU: Medieval/Fantasy - see SB AU: Supernatural above.

* B4 - Shapeshifters - a potential crossover with my SB AU: Changed into an Animal square - but I need a plot bunny and it is a low priority fill at the moment.

On other creative fronts: I have a Godzilla and a Sharky Stuffed With Character figures in progress. I have multiple commissions to work on and am prepping for a con in June so am pretty well booked up through early summer.

That said, if you’re looking for one of a kind gifts for birthdays or other celebrations later in the year, check out Stuffed With Character over on Facebook for a full list of my designs (now over 100!). These soft stuffed figures are mostly Marvel and monsters, but I have some Star Wars, Star Trek, DC and Disney figures as well. Plus I love to take custom design requests for any fandom!

personal texts that keep me awake at night:

the response I got after taking acid for the first time and apologizing profusely to the girl who forever ruined dating for me. had a crush on her for years until we finally met by chance and started growing close. when i traveled to go stay with her in north dakota I think our idea of a relationship was overtaken by the reality of it. slowly saw her affection wither away in real time and couldn’t do anything but watch. we drove for hours in complete silence & darkness to the greyhound station and the last unhappy look you gave has haunted me since.

never expected us to get along as well as we did, especially after our awkward beginnings. you left town and my life without saying goodbye, throwing away your first real friend in years. will never forget those nights we spent walking the pavement, hugging until we fell asleep in your van afterwards. I often wonder where you are and if you’ve forgotten them.

one of your many messages that I look at more often than I’d ever admit. don’t even know where to start with my love for you! we’ve been schizo superfriends for a decade now who are still discovering eachother and SOMEHOW haven’t met irl yet. you are the other side of my coin and the world would be empty without you in it. we will take eachother’s secrets to the grave

met over omegle and became eachother’s first loves, it ended miserably 2 years later without real closure. we left eachother wounded, fumbling through the dark for many years after. sorry it took us so much time and mistreatment from others to realize how thankful we are for eachother. my southern sweetheart you taught this dog so much about life & love and you’re the reason I even started using tumblr in the first place.

truly never gets easier having to walk past your old dorm every week, I remember my legs were shaking with each step the first time I went up there. our first words set us both ablaze and I still haven’t felt stimulated like that since but maybe thats because after you had your fun with me you moved back to jersey and never spoke to me again. sex felt so organic between us that any attempt after has felt like mental olympics.

so strange knowing you feel like I’m the one who got away cause we never did figure out why we didn’t date! I think it can be chalked up to mutual shyness & bad timing. I no longer feel the same spark but that night we went swimming with our friends and sang in the car together is one of my fondest teenage memories. none of us are really friends anymore but hope you and I will meet again someday.

LOL MY FUCKIN SKATEBOARD!!! everytime I try to find the stupid element board I got as a kid I remember that I left it in your hands. seems like only yesterday we were two fuckups skipping school to makeout by the train tracks. we always seem to think of eachother and reconnect at the strangest points in our lives and I think it means we are on similar paths to happiness even if it’s seemingly never together.

our mutual friends took me to your art show cause they knew I thought you were cute. after a month of talking; I was on xanax and told you that I liked you, you were drunk and said you liked me. what followed was a year of you trying to get our friends to hate me as much as you grew to. never would have expected us of all people to reconnect & reconcile years later and spend a couple months seeing eachother. even though I was the one who left and got the last laugh it didn’t feel as good as I thought it would.

we went on dates for over a year, shared earbuds in every class, made eachother laugh and blush uncontrollably but when it came down to making it official you could never make up your mind. we tried our best to remain friends but then you started dating every guy you talked shit about and I became the one you ran back to when neglected. i find it both ironic and fitting that our nicknames for eachother had to do with vending machines because at the end of the day that’s all we were to eachother, something convenient.

neither of us fell in love despite our best dates being the ones we went on together. vividly remember walking past the park, the little league game, along the railroad tracks that ran through your neighborhood. having to sneak into your house under the cover of night. I had no idea what I was doing and was apathetic idk how you never noticed but I’d be a liar if i said that the time she’s referring to wasn’t fun… until the cops showed up in the parking lot while we were putting our clothes back on.
