Hello! I love your Eleutherophobia fics and as I was reading them, I couldn't help but notice the similarities between the themes with Tom/ex-hosts and the themes in The Winter Soldier/Bucky Barnes from marvel. Out of curiosity, have you ever thought about the comparison between those two characters in their respective fandoms?

Hell yes. I mentioned in a different post that Infinite Coffee and Protection Detail by Owlet is one of the fics that most influenced my own writing. That series is narrated (un-narrated?) by Bucky Barnes, and it has the coolest use of experimental writing I've ever seen in a fic series.

What I mean by un-narrated: there are almost no personal pronouns at all in the first ~70% of the first story. It's almost all passive voice. So, for example

Mission imperative pounds in the Asset’s chest, takes the form of increased pulse rate and respiration, a tightening of the throat. Backup is required to protect the objective’s lungs.

as a way of conveying "I got Steve out of the river but now he's dry-drowning and I'm freaking out." Like half the sentences in the fic have no subject at all, and most of the other half have these super-detached ways of referring to Bucky ("The Asset", "mission head"). By all logic it shouldn't work — presumably Owlet learned in school not to use passive voice, just like the rest of us — and yet it goddamn well does.

Because the most important rule of creative writing isn't "show don't tell"; it's "form follows function." If your character's out of breath, use short-sharp sentences. If your character's in a dream state, use long flowing ones. If your character's making love then tell us with highfalutin enchantment; if your character's fucking then use smutty cheek. If your character is experiencing something totally fictional — they got put into a sci fi machine that took out their identity — then why not convey that with a jarring lack of self-reference in their thought stream.

The early chapters' lack of self-reference gradually starts to change, as The Asset formerly known as Bucky discovers through the power of coffee and protection (as promised!) that his old identity is gone but he can still forge a new one. One of my favorite details is that the narration gradually starts calling him Barnes, but the narrator himself remains indifferent on the subject — Steve calls him "Bucky," Jarvis calls him "Sergeant," Nat calls him "James," his neighbors call him "Jimmy" — and he only freezes up when people ask him what he prefers to be called, because he doesn't want to decide.

Anyway, I don't do anything that extreme in my own fic. But I do play around with breaking the rules. (E.g. I know it's ungrammatical to use phrases like "my eyes searched" or "my arm reached" — but if it'd be inaccurate to say "I reached" then form follows function.) And I'm a lot more comfortable putting experimental writing into fic than I would be if I hadn't read Owlet's work. Ascribing agency to limbs is probably my most consistent rule-break, but I also have a whopper of a run-on sentence in "How I Live Now" and a bunch of deliberately-unclear dialogue in "Ladybird, Ladybird." And you're not wrong, nonny: I owe a ton of that to Bucky, but mostly to Owlet's interpretation of the character.

#animorphs #eleutherophobia #infinite coffee and protection detail #writing #fan fiction #owlet #fic #form follows function #bucky barnes #winter soldier #this you protect #'Take THAT Dr. W!' I mutter under my breath as I ascribe agency to yet another limb. #'You told me not to BUT you also told me all sci fi is trite garbage' #which is a hell of a stance from a professor #whose best-selling book is goddamn Star. Wars. Fan. Fiction.

I finished my Mission Assist Esther Novelty to go with my Barnes with Cat Eleanor! Infinite Coffee and Protection Detail is my ultimate comfort read and I couldn't help myself! Whenever my health gets bad, I find myself turning to Barnes and his mission. It's on the good list for sure.

(I'm not done making these either. Barnes needs his Steve and Esther needs Ollie and Lidia!)

“Have another cookie. Now, is there anything you need to know about the neighborhood? And feel free to tell me absolutely everything you’ve ever thought, said, or done. I have been stuck for ages with only Ollie and Lidia for company, and I’ve heard every story they have to tell a hundred times.”

Required responses completely unclear.

“Um.”

“Have another cookie.”

“Thanks”

Barnes replays the entire paragraph while he chews.

“Where can I do laundry?”

“Oh no, don’t tell me you’re going to be boring.”

“Yes ma’am.”

“How terrible.”

She leans forward in her chair and glares at him.

“Jimmy Buchanan. Are you shy?”

Is ‘shy” going to make you stop pestering me.

“Yes.”

“Oh well, no matter. I’ll pry it all out of you eventually."

Was April slow for anyone else, or just me?

April was pretty slumpy for me. I worked a lot and when I have busy work months I tend to read less because I'm exhausted. I started one physical book, but quickly lost interest. The two traditional books I read were via audio to and from my parents' house for a semi-spontaneous weekend trip.

A huge thanks to @bookwormextraordinaire for recommending This, You Protect by owlet on ao3. I had the absolute BEST time reading it and if you're at all a Stucky shipper/fan, please read it! I plan to read the rest of the Infinite Coffee and Protection Detail series.

Loving reminder from your land history auntie:

North American golf courses have had 50-100 years of arsenic and mercury based fungicide and herbicides applied to their soils.

Do not eat anything that has been grown on a golf course or downstream from a golf course. I know it sounds cool and radical, but you are too valuable to poison yourself with heavy metals.

Protect each other, turn your local golf course into a pollinator garden, not a sex forest or community garden.

#i am over here worrying about all you kiddos #also please dont forage on railway corridors either #love yourselves protect yourselves #lmao at the replies saying 'but why not sex forest anyway' #you do you kids #im personally a no thank you on the lead arsenic mercury sex forest personally #if you havent seen it there's a popular book about making golf course a sex forest #that isn't a random pull

Damian: Baba. I’ve acquired an enemy at the academy. He’s been ripping my drawings, teasing me about my lineage, and smearing your honor. I understand murder can’t happen. How shall I proceed?

Bruce: [Has a flashback of Thomas driving to his bully’s house, spiked brass knuckles on his hands, petting his head and smiling dangerously, ‘I’ll be right back, chum!’]

Bruce: …I’ll talk to his parents.

Damian: Todd?

Jason: Finally, an excuse to tackle a 10 year old.

#bruce: nO- #damian: then what do you propose we do!!! this beast knows no peace!!! #bruce: we buy his father’s company and make him take an unpaid internship. #damian: father!!! that is…inhuman.

best friend megumi fushiguro who doesn't let anyone else get close to you, especially not someone who he knows just wants to get into your pants. he'll stand behind you, his stare intense and deadly, a subtle baring of teeth, until the guy fumbles over his words and dashes away.

megumi knows you're a virgin, never even had a proper boyfriend once the dark haired boy found you — there's no secrets between the two of you. well, almost no secrets.

you didn't need to know the way megumi couldn't help himself when he was alone in the darkness of his room, fist wrapped around his aching cock, moans muffled as he stuffed his shirt is his mouth. a small part of him wished you were here with him, that it was your hand stroking him and making his tip leak that pearly white. or better yet, maybe you'd let him take your virginity. maybe you would beg him to make love to you, spread your pretty thighs apart so he could go right where he belongs.

he wonders how it would feel, being buried deep within you. he was a virgin, too, after all — saving himself for you.

but your first time together would be special, it would be perfect, not some rushed and sloppy fuck because of his carnal desires. megumi needed to be patient and let everything fall into place. he couldn't have you running off to someone else when you two were made for each other.

so he waits for you to realize that fact, too.

I need a John Wick scenario where some goon beats the shit out of one of the batkids but doesn’t realize which hero they belong to. Cut to them getting home like “yeah I fucked up that little red bird guy!” and all the other goons look at him like “you mean…Red Robin?”

“Yeah that guy. Wait, why are you all getting up—”

Everyone knows the robins are off limits from serious beat downs. Batman will come for blood, and he’s downright superhuman when it’s about one of his kids.

Listen, you should never film strangers in public without their consent, but I swear there need to be fines or something for people who do that shit in some spaces. For example: I had to go to the ER last night, and some jerk filmed a woman who just came in and was clearly having an asthma attack. She immediately got to go back, and he was unhappy about that. Believe me, I get that it sucks having to wait when you're in pain, but you don't get to pick who deserves care when. The medical system in the US is a nightmare, and the ER could be the worst moment of someone's life. No one deserves to be recorded because some jack ass believes someone doesn't look like they need care.

This is fine to reblog. People who film strangers should be shamed if nothing else.

i feel like not enough ppl are factoring in the cultural clash between laios and shuro and the many micro agressions shuro faced while being in their group. literally the name 'shuro' in itself is one

his name is toshiro 😭 lets also not forget that he has his own communication issues, in the opposite way that laios does- thats literally a factor in their argument, that his envy for laios's ability to express himself sincerely manifested as part of his distaste for him.

ig all this to say like, was their fight heart wrenching, especially when reading laios as autistic? absolutely. anybody whos ever been in laios's position knows how much it hurts to realize someone you thought was your friend doesnt actually like having you around, especially when they didnt tell you and you had no way of knowing due to not understanding their cues. but im begging yall to step back and see the nuance of this situation cause im gonna be real a lot of you are kinda just brushing over it acting like everything is toshiros fault and that hes a terrible person when in reality hes an average guy who really, really clashed with laios and it led to a very long misunderstanding due to their supremely opposite methods of communication. even laios and toshiro, after letting everything out in their fight, were able to come to an understanding and start a foundation for an actual friendship built on better communication

ok yknow what Edit: i shouldve made it even more explicit at the end of this post, i hadnt thought i would need to since i started the post with this, but i think a few too many people are missing my point so i just wanna clarify. i shouldnt have said 'really clashed' and left it at that because yeah they did, but it wasnt just their opposite methods of communication, it is also very much that toshiro was experiencing microaggressions via laios. it may have been unintentional on laios's part, but it still happened and wore him down, made it harder for him to communicate on top of both the more subtle social cues that he was raised with and his own communication difficulties. i also want to say that the fandom reaction to toshiro and the complete ignorance of this point is also racist tbh or at the very least ignorant. i understand that the anime did not cover this panel, and neither did the manga, as this was an omake, but im gonna be real with you guys. there are enough context clues within the story to clue you into this. if you didnt pick up on it thats ok, but i think this is a good lesson in picking up subtext in the stories that youre watching and/or reading. kui shouldnt have to explicitly say 'by the way laios was racist to toshiro' for this point to be understood, and at the very least, when the author portrays a character in a sympathetic light (as kui clearly does) it should make you question Why they are doing so and what makes them sympathetic, rather than youre immediate and only reaction to be 'well i hated what this guy did/said so i hate them and they suck'. idk exactly how to finish this, just. idk. question your biases and gut reactions to things you see in media and stories, and think about whether or not theres subtext that youre missing.

#dunmeshi #dungeon meshi #shuro dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #toshiro nakamoto #dont get me wrong i understand relating to a character and hating whoever wrongs them cause youre protective or you relate really hard #but i think toshiros been getting the short end of the stick for a long time now 😭 #even his love for falin is misunderstood #he literally states all the reasons he likes her #and none of them are superficial #but hes so closed off and has such difficulty expressing himself that instead of asking her out or smth he just #proposed to her out of the blue 😭 #leading a lot of ppl to just assume that he went 'white woman spotted' and proposed #do Not misunderstand me i am #a HUGE farcille stan #obviously #but i dont think toshiros feelings are surface level and i think theyre absolutely crucial to understanding him and his motivations #as a character in this story
