Some BaconCola Headcanons:

Tord is the only one who can call Edd “Edward” without any sort of backlash:

“Edwaaaaaard!!”

“What?”

“We’re out of bacon.”

“Ok? Go get more yourself.”

“But I’m comfy :(”

“*sigh* I take it you want me to have some delivered?”

“Yes please :)”

Tord usually keeps to himself. Most of the time he’ll stay locked away in his room and come down only to grab a snack.

- he lives mostly off of cheese burgers, bacon, and Red Bull. The occasional Monster Energy.

- he also has a carton of milk in the fridge with his name written on it in purple sharpie. He drinks straight from the carton

Tord isn’t one for cuddling, hugs, and excessive affection. If he wants attention, he WILL make it known. Edd, on the other hand, is all for PDA.

- Tord does his best to not be seen cuddling Edd but it’s obvious something is going on between the two just by his reaction:

*Sitting on the sofa reading a magazine*

*laying with his head on Tord’s lap watching TV*

“Hey, has one of yall seen my new-”

“What?! Nothing happened!”

*stands up quickly, throwing Edd on to the floor*

“Ow…” <- (Not mad b/c he’s used to it by now)

Edd and Tord have weekly game nights. A few of their favorites are Minecraft, Mario Kart, COD, GTA, War Thunder, and TF2.

- Matt and Tom will often join them but Mario Kart is usually just between the two of them

- Tord grinds War Thunder too much. Like, it’s a genuine problem. (Especially tanks. Specifically Sweden.)

- Edd got Tord a pair of cat ear headphones for his birthday. He was ecstatic.

- Tord is that one person always yelling at the top of his lungs

- all four of them have their own desktop computers where the play Minecraft, War Thunder and TF2 as a group

- Edd and Tord both have their own game consoles in their rooms

“HELVETE!! This asshole!”

“Tord, it’s ok, I’ll rejoin in a bit.”

“No!! This guy is seal clubbing! He isn’t getting away with this.”

“Dude, calm down.”

“*NORWEGIAN RAGE*”

“Good job Tord. Now all four of us are dead because of your impulsiveness.”

“Edd, I told you that I need you to practice with me before going in blind. You don’t know what you’re doing!”

“Oh, hush your one to talk. You’re on this game 24/7.”

“So? It’s called a hobby.”

“It’s called an addiction. You have over 6,000 hours on the game!!”

“Yeah, Matt has a point. You need to get out more.”

- Tord likes fnaf (obvi I had to squeeze that in somewhere lol)

Tord also has some of his old friends in Norway he plays games with. It’s absolute chaos for everyone else:

“Faen!! Hva i all verden driver du med?!”

“Du kommer til å drepe oss alle!”

“Å, hold kjeft. Det var du som lot oss klare oss selv under raidet!”

“*Incoherent Norwegian yelling*”

“*sigh* Edd go do something.”

“Do what?”

“I don’t know- just make him shut up.”

Edd and Tord have nicknames/pet names for each other:

Edd: Buddy, Cuddle Bug, Norski (lovingly), Red (Red is in the future ie. ‘Red Leader’)

Tord: Cola Freak (in his phone contacts), Blind Brit (lovingly), EDWARD!!, Edwaaaard!, EDWARD IF YOU DON’T GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE RIGHT NOW-!!

Tord keeps a gun under his pillow and a switchblade in his bedside table drawer “just in case.” When Edd went to change his sheets he freaked out when he found a loaded Glock on the bed. (Hey, at least the safety was on!)

Edd and Tord both draw. Edd draws/animates in his usual messy style and Tord does more of an anime look, although he does have his own unique style.

- he also makes blue prints for machines, weaponry and robotics:

“Hey Edd! Come see this thing I drew.”

“Cool! …what is it?”

“It’s blue prints for a giant robot. This is where the engine is going, over here is the control panel, on this side is a missile launcher, and that’s where the-”

*has absolutely no idea what he’s talking about but is still paying attention anyway*

[midnightactual]

I hope this is not annoying to say, but I cannot overstate how much I love the world building and various headcanons you have for Yoruichi that flesh her out far beyond most people would have the energy or passion to do. Your ideas and everything inspire me to do better every time I see them, because you put so much thought into things that I can only look at them and be like "Damn, that's so good, I need to be do more too", not in a negative sense, just an envious source of energy sprouting from when I see your headcanon or meta posts.

It's not annoying at all, and very kind of you to take the time to let me know that you've found the work on her to be such an inspiration! I honestly wish I'd been more diligent with my time and had gotten a lot more down, like a more complete history of her travels and what she was up to, but I have faith it'll all shake out eventually.

As a little extra pick-me-up since you find it motivational: I recently worked out exactly how Yoruichi got to southern China after VE Day in Europe!

There were several all-women sections of the American Armed Forces like the WACs, WASPs, WAVES, SPARS, and MCWR (USMC didn't get the memo ig) and the British had WAAFs and Wrens. After doing some digging, I determined WACs was probably most plausible for Yoruichi to pose as, especially because at that time the OSS (later CIA) would often disguise its female agents as WACs.

The CIA itself has an interesting page on some of the women in service from back then, and the story of Elizabeth "Betty" McIntosh is particularly insightful:

She became one of the few women assigned to the Morale Operations Branch (MOB), where she created disinformation reports, postcards, and radio messages designed to undermine the morale of Japanese troops. Her work with the MOB would take her overseas to India, Burma and China. In 1945, on a bumpy night flight to Ceylon (present day Sri Lanka), Betty found herself on a plane with fellow OSS officer Julia McWilliams. As the plane flew through a storm and rocked back and forth, Betty thought this was it! She didn’t think she was going to survive the flight. She nervously looked over at McWilliams, who calmly continued reading her book and eating an apple as if nothing was wrong. Seeing McWilliams’ composure put Betty somewhat at ease.

That Julia McWilliams would later be known to the world as chef Julia Child, and she was then the head of the Kunming office of the OSS. I also discovered that:

A daily direct flight called the "Trojan", flown by select C-54 crews, carried a minimum of five tons of highest priority materiel or passengers between Calcutta and Kunming, then brought back critically wounded patients or aircraft engines needing overhaul.

My current thinking is Yoruichi took this flight in a WAC uniform, posing as a radar technician, then went east from Kunming until she reached the front lines. I'm still tossing up whether she actually had any affiliation with OSS at that time, was simply posing as one of their staff, or something somewhere in between. (If she had direct contact with the OSS, it'd probably have started while she was working with the French Resistance.) The closer she was working with them at the time, the more poignant it'd make her later siding with North Vietnam.

It's kind of a small thing, ultimately, but I think the backstory gets most interesting by weaving together the small things like that, even if it never gets directly interacted with in RP.

Anyway, thanks again for taking your time to write in!

[the-cinnamontography-is-amazing]

*ahem* In this essay, random collection of thoughts, I will explore my personal theories on Colonel Sam Flagg's background, post WWII Intelligence and everyone's favorite infamous government backed mind control torture program and why that guy *is like that*.

So we first meet Colonel Flagg as the *fairly* chilled out CID man in Deal Me Out. Who's to say that Sam was a pretty normal guy? Yes he was a 'Captain Halloran,' but ya know spy shit. Easy retcon.

He could have joined the army right before World War II, worked his way up fairly quickly, and perhaps ended up with Office of Strategic Services aka the OSS, the wartime intel agency that preceded the CIA. I have a whole page on it.

More than likely he was in special ops, a Jedburgh, I'd say he jumped in PTO with Detachment 101 in Burma. Did some crazy guerrilla shit, etc. etc. Flagg got back from the war, the OSS is disbanded in 1945, dissolved into other branches and we'll say Flagg went back to the military.

Now a brief history...

The Research and Development Branch of the OSS had some crazy fucking scientists doing crazy fucking shit to try to win the Second World War by any means necessary. I also have a page on that.

CIA was established in '47 by Truman with the National Security Act. Many ex- OSS personnel joins the agency.

Everyone and their brothers from WWII and into the Cold War were trying to figure out 'mind control methods' and 'truth serums' to get the upper hand in the endless geopolitical fuckery that occurred in the 20th century. Here's the wiki link if you want to know *the details* but we all know the conspiracy theories...

The OSS and the Axis powers were experimenting at the end of WWII. They began with weed, went to every random drug cocktail you could imagine to end with LSD once the CIA took over.

MKUltra technically wasn't in place until 1953, but before it was called Project Artichoke.

At first, Flagg got back from Burma and was like, you know what let's try it. So maybe the weed actually doesn't to much to him, but maybe he has a hard time adjusting to post war life, saw some shit in the jungles, five years pass.

So remember when I said these R&D guys were crazy? Well, they loved to fuck with each other, try these crazy experiments on each other as pranks, and sometimes It was even voluntary. Let's get these soldiers high and see what happens.

They continue to give Flagg shit, mostly as a willing participant at first, but the Cold War insanity ramps up, and he gets recruited to the CIA. Do you remember when Flagg said he 'was a showgirl for six weeks?' The CIA, FBI, and every other intel agency loved to trap men into brothels, drug 'em up and watch them. It would make sense that Flagg's operation showgirl in Vegas was an LSD experiment.

The Korean War starts and Flagg goes back into army intelligence as a cover and willing participant quickly becomes an unknowing one. 1951 is when Artichoke really got started, and mainly happened overseas. People were constantly drugged up without their consent, agents, prisoners, soldiers, etc. He's had to watch his back from his own people and it only gets worse. Each time we see Flagg in the series, he becomes more and more unhinged and paranoid. Not only from the side effects of the said previous drugging, but he knows it could get worse.

In White Gold, the obsession with black market penicillin wasn't just 'to make trade' but many of the artichoke projects aimed to use diseases as a vector for mind control. Ridiculous yes, but maybe he thinks that at any moment he is going to become infected with shit from a fellow comrade.

Flagg's obsession with capturing prisoners? Mind control experiments. He's still got a job to do, despite it all. At this point the agency knows how much Flagg has lost it, but they cannot admit to it, or take him out, so they pretty much just let him go unhinged in Korea, loving to terrorize the 4077th. Subconsciously, he thinks that if he's really going to off the edge, at least he'll be close to medical treatment.

My congruent thought is that somehow Sidney knows about the experiments with the line 'you're a victim too, Flagg' but that's a little more out there... But he's constantly trapped between knowing what his country has done to him, and upholding and carrying out that same corruption, unable to stop.

To end with his quote, "Nobody can get the truth out of me, because even I don't know what it is."

I have it on good authority (my brain) that Colonel Flagg was apart of MKUltra, both as a perpetrator and a victim.

OKAY WAIT NO hear me out tho (on that art I just reblogged)

So Peggy was an extreme novelty to most of the guys she was around, right? She wasn’t the only woman in the SOE/OSS, but she was one of the few, and probably the only woman most of the army guys were around in the field who wasn’t a nurse or an entertainer.

So at some point, some joker is like “I bet you [some 1940s amount of money] that you can’t KO Jim here”, where Jim is the platoon tough guy and bare-knuckle boxing champ.

Peggy’s up to her eyeballs in THIS SHIT AGAIN YOU SAY, so she’s like “sure”

Spoiler: she does

At that point, Boxing Nights With Peggy starts to become a thing - obviously not in any formal way (double obviously: nobody INCLUDING PEGGY wants either Gen. Phillips or Steve to find out about this) but basically, she makes money on the side by hustling guys to fight her for bets, sort of like Marion in Indiana Jones drinking the guy under the table.

So that happens, but it was all part of the war past that she left behind in Europe.

Until one of the guys she KO’d walks into the SSR as a transfer or new hire, takes one look at Peggy and is like FUCK, IT’S HER and hides behind a filing cabinet. Jack and Daniel are all “????” and “Peggy, what’d you DO to this guy?” and then the entire story of Peggy’s bare-knuckle boxing career comes out. Jack is like “That explains a lot all of a sudden.” (Daniel: You want a rematch with her, Thompson? Jack: Hell no.)

Alternatively (though I’ve kind of written this fic, tbh): at some point between seasons she meanders into Jack’s boxing gym, talks the guy who runs the place into letting her train there, and turns out to be a HOLY TERROR. At first most of the guys won’t spar with her because she’s a girl. Increasingly it becomes a Thing to try to take her on. (The only one who won’t do it is Jack, because a) she’s already punched him out once, b) he is aware it might go even worse for him a second time because they aren’t getting along so well right now, and c) he has nothing to prove because he knows he’d lose. Also, he likes his teeth in his face, thanks.)

@starklysteve  rhae asked for some winteriron recs (read: i volunteered to spam rhae w buckytony fics because i adore them), so in no particular order, and based on my memory alone, here are some of my favourite buckytony fics!!

(please remember to leave kudos and comments!!)

American Memorial: @/spqr

“Pick up the shield,” Tony said. Understandably, Bucky told him to go fuck himself

Losing You (Is My Supervillain Origin Story):  @amethystinawrites

There are a lot of things that Bucky regrets. The list is, quite frankly, longer than he can handle on most days and, right at the very top, is lying to Tony about who killed his parents. Bucky has known even from before they started dating, but he simply can't bring himself to say anything — to ruin one of the few good things he has in his life. It's selfish and wrong, but Bucky just doesn't know how to tell Tony that he is the one responsible for Howard and Maria Stark's deaths.

So when he starts receiving anonymous emails, threatening to expose the truth to Tony and the rest of the world, Bucky is desperate enough to agree to the blackmailer's terms, even if it means breaking up with Tony. Bucky cannot, under any circumstances, let Tony find out about his parents from anyone but Bucky himself.

Too late Bucky realizes that there is much more to the blackmailer's scheme than just having Bucky break Tony's heart. Too late Bucky realizes that despite his best intentions, he will still end up losing everything — in a much more permanent way than he could ever have imagined.

Hindsight: @amethystinawrites

Ever since he was a little boy, Bucky has dreamed of becoming an astronaut together with Steve, and he can hardly believe their luck when both of them are picked for the Ares 3 crew — the third expedition sent to explore Mars. It is, quite literally, a dream come true.

Things get complicated when Bucky finds himself inconveniently attracted to their mechanical engineer, however. Tony Stark is funny, competent, and absolutely captivating, but considering NASA's strict non-fraternization policy, Bucky knows it's better to keep his interest to himself — at least until they return to Earth. He can wait.

Not once does Bucky consider the possibility that all of them might not make it back alive, or just how much he'll come to regret not acting when he had the chance.

Arsenal: @tangodancer91 (part of a series) (also my all time favourite buckytony series ever)

Two years after the Civil War that tore apart everything she’d bled to build, Toni Stark sacrificed herself for her newly-reinstated teammates and ended up stranded in the past. Freed of her name, her fortune, and her hostile ex-teammates, she built herself a life as an agent for the OSS, the American secret service, and, having nothing to lose, accepted a mission to infiltrate the newest player in the war: an organization that call themselves HYDRA.

Then, she met a young draftee with a dreadfully familiar face, and they clicked like she had never clicked with anyone before. By the time she realized she’d fallen for the man who’d cost her everything, it was too late, but she’d always been an all or nothing type of girl, and if she was damning herself, well then…might as well go all the way.

Yield: @aurumacadicus (this is an a/b/o verse fic)

All Bucky has ever wanted was to win the contest for Tony's hand in marriage. It's a bit harder now that he's down to one arm, but luckily his friends are willing to help make up the difference.

Barnes Family Motors Inc: @phlintandsteel-ao3 (this is an a/b/o verse fic)

In a world where alphas legally own omegas, Bucky is just a small time mechanic from Brooklyn who gets lucky in a poker game. Tony is an omega whose life is fraught with abuse, until his luck suddenly takes a turn for the better.

In the grand scheme of things they may only be able to make little differences in the lives of those around them, but that doesn't mean it's not worth making them. After all, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

The Long Con (don’t kid yourself): @phlintandsteel-ao3

When Tony finds out that Howard is thinking about changing the terms of Tony’s trust fund, he embarks on a not-so-elaborate scheme to prove that he’s totally settling down and not in continued need of Howard’s “guidance” until 25 instead of 21. Step 1: Get a fiance Step 2: ??? Step 3: Profit (Finally be free of Howard)

Unfortunately, Tony Stark is the worst con-artist ever, and may only be kidding himself..

Hot Mess:  @/niki

“Would serve him right if we had the world's most ill-advised one night stand.”

Imperceptions and Assumptions: @/NarutoRox

Afterward, Bucky would look back on their first meeting with fondness and a healthy dose of amusement. At the time, though, he’d mostly been confused - and more than a little embarrassed.

Bucky hadn’t paid much attention to the media in his early days, and hadn’t bothered really reading up on the team or anything, either, so when Steve had said ‘Tony Stark’, Bucky had just assumed.

The same way he’d looked at the three people who’d walked through the door - an imposing redhead in heels, a bored-looking brunette who dimpled when she saw him and Steve, and a sturdy-looking man wearing a slight glower - locked eyes on the man, and assumed him to be the infamous Tony Stark Steve wouldn’t shut up about.

It was Bucky’s first lesson when it came to Natasha Antonia ‘Toni’ Stark - never assume.

~

In which Tony Stark is actually Natasha Antonia 'Toni' Stark (which everyone knows) as well as Iron Man (which everyone does not know), assumptions are made, and there are misunderstandings.

From this prompt: How about a cross between my two favorite tropes? Nobody knows who iron man is other than Natasha/Antonia Stark's bodyguard but Bucky is in love with one or both of them

i know, you know (that i’m not telling the truth) : @imposter-human

psychic tony stark is called to work a routine case with detective bucky barnes; only, he seems to be more connected to the case than anyone thought

or, a psych au!!

the new romeo and juliet: @imposter-human

Bucky and Tony weren’t dating, because a firefighter and a detective couldn’t date (never mind that Tony hadn’t slept with anyone else since their thing had started, and he and Bucky hung out with an alarming frequency, and the whole precinct thought that they were an item). It didn't matter how many nights they spent together, how Bucky had a drawer of Tony's things and vice versa, they just couldn't.

It was a classic Romeo and Juliet situation, if Romeo and Juliet actively disliked each other on top of everything.

if found, please return to: @capnshellhead

Tony Stark shows up at Bucky's bar after a really tough break up and Bucky decides to look after him

gods of carnage:  @deathsweetqueen (part of a series)

On May 29, 1970, the Winter Soldier feels a burning sensation and looks down at his wrist to find a single name written in enduring ink: Antonia Margaret Stark.

HYDRA, fearing the defiance of their greatest asset due to a bond that cannot and will not be denied its due, immediately dispatches the Soldier, to locate, collect and deliver this newborn girl to HYDRA, which will become her new home, her new family and her entire world - to be raised as another one of HYDRA’s great warriors: their Engineer.

But the Engineer is a faulty asset. She thinks things that may get her killed one day. She wants things that she shouldn’t, that are not hers to want. She has a mind and body that belong more to herself than any handler, than any commander she may have.

And if she cuts her strings, when she cuts her strings, well, when you put sheep next to wolves, you ask for a bloodbath.

where i walk, you follow (where i burn, you burn):  @deathsweetqueen

At his father's command, Anthony Stark trades in his northern keep for a southern crown, wedded and bedded by Alexander of House Pierce, First of His Name.

Tony does his duty, becomes a wolf in name only, toothless and clawless, and a dark, gleaming ornament for the King, even if he would make himself a widower a hundred times over.

Honour demanded it of him, and so he did.

But it is Ser James Barnes, named the Kingslayer for his sins during the Rebellion, that draws his eye, gives him comfort in this pit of liars and monsters

So, what is honour compared to a good man's love? They are only human, and the gods have fashioned us for love.

Cat Parenting (And Other Meet Cutes):  @singingwithoutwords (this is an a/b/o verse fic)

Of all the ways Bucky could have finally gotten a chance to speak to his crush, why did it have to be his cat getting Tony's cat pregnant?

Codename Heartbreaker:  @rinnwrites (part of a series)

Today was a day that, contrary to popular belief, Tony Stark had most certainly not been looking forward to. It was election day, or election night, rather, and the polls were closed, the results were in; Howard Stark was the next President of the United States of America.

or

Tony Stark Bingo - R3: Election Day

Fate Strings Not Required: @akira-of-the-twilight

“Hey doll,” a new voice said from Tony’s side.

Tony glanced at the person approaching.

Someone was working the rugged, bad boy look. The new guy rocked a leather jacket and blue jeans.

His blue eyes lit up with joy as he approached Tony. “Something wrong here?” The new guy gave the first guy--the one insisting he was Tony's soul mate--a once over then turned his full attention on Tony. “You’re looking a little stressed, anything I can do?”

Tony took the hint.

Tony wrapped his hand around the new guy’s elbow. He kept his touch light and breakable in case he’d misread the cue.

“Just some guy claiming to be my soul mate, babe.”

The new guy’s eyebrows rose to his hairline in surprise. He chuckled and gave the first guy a smirk. “Strange. Last time I checked we were soul mates.”

Siren’s Treasure: @akira-of-the-twilight

Prompt: I really love the idea of playboy!Bucky flirt of the seven seas first-mate to Captain Rogers, falling completely overboard in love with our Blacksmith-Inventor Inexperienced!Tony who goes from confident captive to shy woe-begone man in the presence of Bucky's fierce affections. Virgin!Tony wonders what a siren like Bucky could possibly want with him. Bucky wants to know what the fuck Logan thinks he's doing flirting with the man who stole his heart like sunken treasures. Happy ending please?

“Sirens killed your crew?” Steve repeated.

The dark haired man nodded. Just an hour ago the Avenger crew had found the man clinging to driftwood in the middle of the ocean. Now he clutched the flask of rum Bucky had given him like it was all that kept him buoyant during these tumultuous times.

The man—Tony—had already downed more than half the flask and was still sober. “Not exactly my crew, but close enough. Yeah.” Tony uncapped the flask and threw back a mouthful.

Steve frowned. “What do you mean by that?”

Tony shrugged. “I wasn’t captain of the ship.”

“So what were you?” Steve pressed.

Road hazards: @riotwritesthings

Steve and Bucky's BFF road trip is not going well. For starters, Steve couldn't even make it, and for some bizarre reason asked Tony to take his place. The fact that it’s only a couple days before someone is trying to kill them isn’t nearly as stressful as the fact that Bucky and Tony have never really had an actual conversation.

It’s hard to avoid someone when stuck in a car with them though, and if they manage to stay alive they just might learn a thing or two.

Once Upon a Wintertime: @iam93percentstardust (this is an a/b/o verse fic)

Look, Bucky knows that he’s fulfilling every cliché in the book right now. He knows that, as a bodyguard, he’s not supposed to fall in love with his client. But Tony’s good and sweet and so, so lonely and how could Bucky not? He thinks he’s got a shot after Tony breaks up with his boyfriend but on a trip across the country, he finds out that Tony needs a bondmate or the board will steal SI—and Ty’s already said yes.

little bird: @thxngam

Bucky laughs, and it’s loud and unbidden, a way he hadn’t laughed for years before, tugging his giggling omega into his lap. Tony quiets and nestles into Bucky’s chest like he was made to belong there, and Bucky has noticed several times that Tony is much smaller than he is, but he never quite noticed how Tony always seemed to curl into him as a reason for his size.

Tony nestles like a little bird.

Teenage Dream:  @anthonyed

Tony Stark develops a crush on the school's bad boy who is too cool to hang out with anyone. At least, it's what Tony thinks. He never considered that James Barnes is probably as lonely as he is.

(in the process of editing)

The Best Laid Plans (of Mice and Men):  @arboreal-elm-ash-oak

His Dark Materials AU

It was Annalise who noticed their small visitor first.

“Tony,” the spider daemon said softly, skittering up the collar of his dress shirt, two of her eight legs resting delicately against his cheek, “Don’t startle them, but I believe we have a guest. Look, by the coffee table.”

A Kitten and a Soldier: @/ThatDamnKennedyKid

Bucky hadn't heard from Rumlow in years - since the whole Winter Soldier fiasco in Siberia. They've been discharged for nearly six years, but when he gets a message that only says "I need your help" , he grabs his jacket and keys.

The Prince’s Bride: @hddnone

After Tony loses the love of his life to pirates on the high sea, not much matters to him. He agrees to wed Prince Justin Hammer to gain access to vibranium and shut himself away in his workshop until the end of time, but a group of ruffians kidnap Tony to take him to Hydra.

Tony's rescue takes on an unlikely form - the Dread Pirate Rogers, who killed the love of his life five years ago.

A Princess Bride AU

A Kind of Destiny: @weethreequarter

A chance meeting at a wedding brings together an American war veteran and the Prince of Wales. Little do they know, the wheels have been set in motion for a relationship which will change not only their lives, but the monarchy itself. Bucky and Tony strike up a friendship at Steve and Peggy’s wedding, a friendship that soon develops into more. But it’s not so simple: Tony is the Prince of Wales, and heir to the throne of Great Britain and the United Kingdom. Any relationship is played out in the press and public eye, and then there's that pesky issue of succession to consider too. But Bucky is no coward, and when he finds something he wants, he’s prepared to fight for it. And fight he will, at Tony's side, for their very own fairy tale ending.

I’m just gonna keep this one as an open tag, so feel free to play if you want! If you do, try and find Maroon, Rose, and Biege!

I was given Gold, Silver, Bronze, Red, Grey, White, Yellow, Orange, and Brown! I’ll be doing this with the first draft of OSS, because I don’t have enough done of TWW or the second draft of OSS yet to find these. ^^’

Gold

Another wave swept up and across me, only up to my chest, this time. The storm had subsided, the water only coming in gentle swells, now. The sirens had cleared off hours ago, their songs more screeches to me than the music of legend. I set my cheek down against the rough stone, tilting my head out to sea to catch the first rays of the sun. The light danced across the waves, shimmering and glittering, warming my face with a soft gold. Morning.

Silver

Despite the voices nearby, a quick glance through the room revealed no one present. Hesitantly, gently, I slipped my legs down to the side of the bed, my feet dangling a fair ways up from the wooden floorboards as I held the quilt up around my shoulders. My right ankle, where the silver cuff had been, was encircled with a band of pinker, newer flesh, a vivid scar against the rest of my darker skin. The area was tender and stiff when I rotated my foot, but otherwise lacked pain.

Bronze

“Is… is there a dog in here? Did you smuggle a dog on board?”

‘Yes, and no.’ I tilted my head, unamused. She made as if to write something else, but paused to reconsider. I looked on in curiosity as she stood, lifting a small, bronze plate from her desk to return with it. She hesitated, her movements stiff and apprehensive.

Sighing, she flipped up the plate to face me, its shiny surface like a mirror.

Red

I fell back onto the platform, the surrounding railing creating a wooden basin which presented some respite. The rest of the central mast rose ominously above me, the red ensign at the top flapping in the same gusts that buffeted the crow’s nest I rested in, the wood creaking and wobbling from the force. My chest rose and fell rapidly as I leaned my head back against the cold timbers to catch my breath.

Grey

“Do you… do you know her?” A sinister smile spread across Acharya’s face as she giggled, her mock cheerfulness returned.

“Mmm, you could say that!” She turned back to me with a wink, swirling her hand towards the boy. “Nikolaeva, meet your replacement. He’s a delight to work with, I really must say. Nothing like your stubborn ass.”

“Wait, you…” Sindre’s eyes were wide, flickering light grey in recognition. “You’re the one that stole off with The Scientist’s spell tome…”

White

The stormsurge hit us without mercy.

I gripped tight to the timbers behind me, managing to catch a ridge of the wood before the wave could wrench me off the rolling ship into the siren plagued waters. The sea blistered over my skin with cold, salt blazing white hot in the blood of my open wound, lashing at my face and arms and clawing at my hands to release the already weakened hold I had.

But I was still on the deck after the surge passed over, soaked and shivering.

But I was the only one still on the deck after the surge passed over.

Yellow

“The ship you came on--she’s docked in the hidden cove up the coast, isn’t she?” Violet’s hazel eyes may have well been vivid yellow in the lantern’s light. Phoenix remained silent, her face drained of emotion. Fear was left no quarters amidst the  darkness of a threat held in her gaze.

But she couldn’t fight here. The passage was far too narrow, the ceiling far too low.

My turn.

Orange

“There’s a small cove, over past the main bay. Hardly ever used and concealed well in the rock--it’ll serve us fine.”

Phoenix directed the helmsman’s attention to the empty hollow scooped into the land, about a mile down the coast from where the lights of the Fort blazed silently like orange stars over the black water. But the lighthouse had yet to be lit.

Brown

“... I work fer the Royal Navy as a high rankin’ First Mate. What want would I fer some reward?” Her tiny frame shuddered with her heavy breaths. She lowered her head, her dark brown curls slipping forward to hide her face.

“Because all humans are plagued with greed,” she paused, her voice softening to a whisper, as if she was ashamed to ask, “Why would you be any different?”

There’s some lovely juicy bits here... can you guess the context? c;

[lievdes]

@discoverforhumanity​  ( continued ):

    Heat.

Searing heat and light flashed cross her skin. Struggling to rise from where she had been thrown to the asphalt. Half her sight lost, the other struggling to make sense of her surroundings when glass frames lay scattered who knows where. Half her face was numb, save for the rising temperature that called her attention with every moment she lay fallen on the earth.

There was a crash. A car - she couldn’t remember the type ( did it matter ) that crashed to hers. A lucky strike, and a horrid result when the front rammed so hard as to knock her engine. To cause a fire.

Tossing herself away before the flames grew higher left a body with injuries she could not see laid bare in the dead of night. Almost a blessing her mind still worked well enough to know where she was. Almost a godsend that her phone was still functional to call out a number - as foolish as she was to call someone she loved before calling for aid.

“ I … Didn’t wake you, did I? ”

    Concerned for disturbing her friend over disturbing her life. What a wonder a mind was.

Another attempt to get to her feet, another failure that left her to fall back to the cold ground. Doing nothing to solve the flame that seemed not to leave her skin. Tears beading weak at the corner of an eye untouched. Amber grown blurry as she tried so desperately to see his face. Words full with as much strength as she could bring when her heart was ablaze. It wasn’t much.

“ Es tut mir lie - … I’m so, so sorry … ”

it’s a quiet evening,  hours spent gentle silence within his own apartment.  he doesn’t quite remember the last night he spent like this,  without responsibilities or worries or distractions.  it’s nice--  he gets lost in his own head,  sometimes,  letting minutes pass without knowledge of them,  but this this one night,  he doesn’t seem to mind.

he is curled up on his couch,  a forgotten glass of wine by his side & a book in his hands,  when the ringtone of his phone disrupts the quiet.  it’s jarring,  almost --  he glances at the clock.  late.  who would call him at this time ?  it couldn’t be work,  he didn’t know his colleagues to be night owls, so then . . ?  his phone rings a few times before he reaches it,  device left on the dining table to keep himself from being distracted by it.

calera . .

did she need something ?  he doesn’t remember her to have any plans this night . .  so why was she still awake ?

“  hello ?  ”  he answers,  voice quiet and brows furrowed.  she doesn’t greet him back.  i didn’t wake you,  did i ?  was she okay ?  he tries to discern the noise in the background --  rushing,  windy . .  was she outside ?  why ?  concern twists his features,  frame suddenly cold at the thought something could have happened to her.

“   you’re okay,  ”  he mutters,  but words are cut off by her apology.  what happened ?  why was she calling him ?  why was she saying these things ?

“  calera,  where are you ?  did something happen ?  ”  he asks her,  voice clear despite his worry.  he can’t be weak,  not when she is clearly not okay . .  if only he realized the extent of her troubles . .

How Unix Won

Unix has won in every conceivable way. And in true mythic style, it contains the seeds of its own eclipse. This is my subjective historical narrative of how that happened.

I'm using the name "Unix" to include the entire family of operating systems descended from it, or that have been heavily influenced by it. That includes Linux, SunOS, Solaris, BSD, Mac OS X, and many, many others.

Both major mobile OSs, Android and iOS, have Unix roots. Their billions of users dwarf those using clunky things like laptops and desktops, but even there, Windows is only the non-Unix viable OS. Almost everything running server-side in giant datacenters is Linux.

How did Unix win?

It was built by programmers, for programmers. If you read the early papers describing Unix, you will see how the key abstractions (hierarchical filesystems, permissions, processes, interactive shells, pipes) have lasted conceptually unsullied for decades. That could only have happened if it exerted such a force field over geek minds that they propagated it.

The majority of it was written not in assembly language, but in C, a higher-level language, hence making it portable. This enabled relatively easy ports to a wide variety of hardware.

A freak historical accident. AT&T Labs, where it was developed, was forbidden under its anti-trust settlement from commercializing products unrelated to its core telecom business. Hence, Unix was licensed very cheaply to universities, including UC Berkeley, which subsequently built one of the more influential branches of the Unix family tree—BSD. Apparently, AT&T classified Unix as industrial waste for tax purposes when licensing it!

Unix spread through academia, and those students spread it through corporations after they graduated. It's a strategy that has been used by every major tech company, only in this case it was organic.

And then came the Internet, and the whole universe of daemons, tools, protocols, and utilities that undergirded it was built natively on Unix. That wasn't a huge surprise because a lot of the people that built the Net were Unix natives. BSD open-sourced its TCP/IP stack, kicking off its wide adoption outside the military.

By the late 90s and early 2000s, Linux started taking over the server-side. It has become the ultimate virtuous cycle in open source. When picking a new kernel one is virtually forced to go with Linux because of the huge community and massive engineering that has gone into solidifying it. That's probably why Android picked Linux even though it was running on the other end of the hardware spectrum.

So how and why would we move past Unix?

Unix, which got standardized into the POSIX spec, has accreted a tremendous amount of complexity over the decades. The POSIX spec is 3000 pages long. Linux now has nearly 400 system calls. What started as a clean, pure, minimal and elegant set of system abstractions has become a complex beast.

The very idea of the OS providing general-purpose abstractions with wide applicability is being challenged. When Unix was created, IO was orders of magnitude slower than CPU. There were enough CPU cycles to burn to provide these high-level abstractions, like a complex hierarchical filesystem. Now IO can easily saturate CPU. At least on the server side, folks just want to get the fastest performance out of their hardware. That's leading to the rise of frameworks like SPDK and DPDK that bypass heavy OS abstractions for storage and networking in favor of applications directly accessing the raw hardware, and rolling whatever abstraction they do need on their own.

The entire ecosystem in which an OS exists is changing. Application-level experiences are hermetic and make the underlying OS more or less irrelevant. Just look at Android or iOS or ChromeOS. Programming to a virtual machine (like the Java VM) makes programmers much more invested in their PL/runtime than the OS.

The above two points raise an interesting question: what does a modern operating system want? Look, for example, at Fuchsia, which is going in the direction of a microkernel with capabilities, that pushes most drivers and OS services out to userspace. These are ideas that have been floating in academic OS research for decades, but could never gain real mainstream acceptance because of the high barrier to making a viable real-world OS. This is the effect Rob Pike was talking about in his "Systems Research is Irrelevant" talk. But the prior two trends are finally dislodging the iron grip of Unix, and OSs are becoming interesting again!

((Anders belongs to the lovely and talented @whump-sprite! Happy birthday!))

When Anders finds Kris, the thief is prone on the floor and breathing shallowly. His left hand looks... it looks fucking wrong. Like how his knee feels half the time. Fingers splayed out, loose, too distant with gaps between the joints. Realizing that each joint has been dislocated makes him a little sick.

“Hey,” he says gruffly, kneeling down next to him. “Hey, Kristoff.”

Kris’s blue eyes, watery with tears and fear, snap over to him. His breath hitches a little, and Anders sees little circular burns on his throat. “h, hh-h-h-ey, bo-oss,” he stammers, fighting to keep his voice from rising too much.

“C’mon, let’s get you outta here.” He moves to help Kris up, but the thief barely moves before his mangled hand spasms and he cries out.

“i c, i can’t, boss, i-i-it...” he draws in breath, swallowing a whimper as more tears spill out of his eyes. “h-h, hu-u-urts... s-s-o, nngh, bad...”

Anders stops, taking Kris’s other hand, the one that seems to be in one piece. Turning it over, he sees more cigarette burns on the palm. “I can carry you.”

Kris’s whine is pitchy as Anders lifts him up, his injured hand hanging loosely at his side. “pl, please, can, can’t you...” He pulls his right hand out of Anders’s hold and brings it to his own temple. “it, that, ju-ust make it sto-o-op...”

Anders’s stomach curdles. Mind magic. Kris knows Anders can do it, he’s seen him knock out injured resistance operatives. But he also knows that it’s a taboo, one of the worst things you can do to a person against their will. Hell, even if they ask you to. How much pain is Kris in?

“Alright,” Anders says, voice soft as he hides how much it shakes. “Hang on.” He puts his hand over Kris’s forehead and closes his eyes.

Instantly he’s hit by the pain. Sharp and white-hot through his entire hand, up to his wrist, and god he’s so scared he thinks it’s gonna hurt forever and anders boss so cool scary good and please

He pulls himself together long enough to knock him out. Shut off all thoughts and yank his head back out. Kris is limp in his arms, face still tense but slowly relaxing as his body stops processing the pain.

With a sigh, Anders adjusts his hold to make Kris more comfortable and starts tromping back out to his car. Cool, huh?

All this stone talk maybe a tad dull but it may help the Code Breakers identify more property and location of things in Lister’s time.

“ah can’t walk, just go on without me, sis.”

hurt meme.

    She couldn’t leave anyone behind, the circumstances of the past few hours had set her own determination to that simple fact.  The Cyclops Killer was relentless, ruthless and a touch on the scary side - Shizue Kuranushi was a police officer, one sworn to protect.    It takes her a sweeping moment to draw the girl up into her arms, ( the throbbing in her shoulder intensifies, but Shizue schools her features to remain neutral. )  “ Sorry kid, I might get some blood on you,” after all, a bullet wound was something she shouldn’t scoff at, but she does anyway.

    She’s the Boss after all, a little jostling comes with the territory of running as fast as she can, even with the young girl in her arms.  “ I’ll protect you,” Boss swears with a determined fire in her gaze, “ … gonna have to find my friend to help you with your leg though,” hopefully Pewter was still around somewhere, he might not be medically trained, but he has to have some sort of idea right ?  Either way, at the very least he needed to tend to the girls wounds.

    “ You okay ?  I’m not hurting you too much, am I ?”
