#but steve is overrated and i still fucking love him so

[strangeswift]

Wait no I think I do like Eddie's character actually. I just don't like fanon Eddie. I was rewatching s4 scenes for writing purposes and I do like him. I just.. forgot.

[stuckysbike]

Mine

I wrote this whilst drunk. Im still drunk so there’ll probably be mistakes and there all mine.

Notes: fluff, angst, possessive Bucky? happy ending.

Bucky/Reader various.

Your eyebrows furrowed and you scowled narrowing your eyes dramatically as you drew your straw between your lips. The sweet honey whiskey and soda flowed gently over your tongue.

Beside you Peter Parker giggled.

You ignored him. “I fucking hate that bitch.”

“Now now,” Peter Quill, the barman, chastised. You gave him the finger.

“Bugger off Quill,” he returned the sentiment as he walked away, clearing your view.

You sighed in irritation. “What were you wanting to happen?” Wanda asked softly.

“A sinkhole, big enough for her, to swallow her,” you muttered darkly.

“Are there sinkholes in New York?” Pietro asked.

“There are sinkholes wherever the fuck I want sinkholes to be,” you muttered darkly. You took another sip of your drink and waved at Quill for a refill.

There was another loud laugh and her hand brushed down Bucky’s chest.

“I also am suspicious of her,” Zemo leaned close. You elbowed him in the gut and he drew back with an oaf.

“Oh for fuck sake here comes fanboy number three,” you glowered as Sam walked through the door followed by Joaquin. Jay had the decency to roll his eyes and head towards you leaving Sam with Steve and Bucky to fawn over Sharon.

“She’s overrated,” Jay said taking the seat next to you.

“Thank you!” You cried.

“At least you have more friends than her,” Pietro said.

“I am honoured to be part of this friend grou-“

“NO!” You, Peter, Wanda, Pietro and Jay called.

Zemo pouted and you drew your attention away. In another life he’d be cute but he was, well he was Zemo.

Sharon had slid her arm around Bucky’s waist and his arm was on her shoulders when you looked back. Sharon was cooing at how cute Steve and Sam were as a couple. You imagined crushing her windpipe, but you were no special agent. You were just a normal girl with a normal life who happened to fall in love with your fuck buddy neighbour who was none other than Bucky Barnes.

“I could take her out,” Pietro said. “It would be so fast no one would know.”

You considered this but dismissed it. Instead you ordered another drink. And that’s how you found yourself dancing with none other than…Zemo.

God you hated his pretty smug face. “God I hate your pretty smug face.” You said.

Zemo didn’t care, just wiggled his hips. Behind him Sharon was dancing with Sam but she kept glancing back at Bucky.

This morning you woke in his arms, his lips dancing across your shoulders but now you hated him. Your chest hurt and you wanted to sit in a corner and scream like a petulant child. Instead you returned to your seat as the song ended.

Bucky moved over beside you and you studied his profile out of the corner of your eye.

“What?” You asked.

“What are you doing?” He nodded towards Zemo.

You followed his gaze. “He’s…cute.”

Bucky snorted and you turned to look at him. “You could do better.”

“You and Sharon looked cosy earlier,” you said.

“Yeah she’s a good girl,” Bucky murmured looking her way.

You made a face and took a drink. Bucky was looking at you again. “Meh, she’s not all that.”

“You don’t like her?” Bucky asked.

You shrugged a shoulder. “I hate her,” you admitted.

“Why?” Bucky sounded genuinely confused.

She’s got you, say it say she’s got you.

Instead you shrugged. “It’s a vibe I get,” you muttered. “She seems like your type, pretty, fit, skilled. You should date her.”

“She asked me out earlier,” Bucky admitted.

You nodded in understanding. This morning was the last time you would be with him. He’d move on and so would his friends and eventually you’d be a memory.

“Where are you going?” You asked. Your body ached, your heart most of all. You weren’t pretty it sexy enough for him. Bucky wanted a girl like her. You could already imagine them together.

“Said no,” Bucky told you. You turned to look at him. “I didn’t like it when Pietro hugged you earlier. Or when Zemo danced with you.”

“Why not?” You breathed.

Bucky leaned close until you could see the blue of his eyes. “I was jealous.”

“Jealous?” You cocked your head. He smiled again.

“Jealous. I wanted to cut their hands off for daring to touch you,” he growled as he leaned closer. You couldn’t resist resting your hand on his chest. His dog tags were nestled beneath his shirt.

“Touch me?” You repeated.

Bucky’s smirk was wide. “You’re my girl, and I’m about sick of other people not knowing that,” he said.

You made a fist, catching the tags under his black tee and pulling him closer. He tasted of whiskey and musk and Bucky and you sighed into his body. His kiss was hot and his stubble rasped against you but you didn’t care.

Cheers erupted around you and there were a few catcalls.

“About time,” Quill muttered darkly.

“Bucky. I’m drunk. I want to go home and have lazy sloppy sex.” You said kissing his cheek wetly.

“Yeah?” He asked as he looked at you. You nodded, and together you walked out of the bar. Before you left you caught sight of Sharon glowering your way. Bucky’s arm was on your shoulders and you snuggled closer to his body blowing her a kiss as you passed by. You didn’t see her response but you guessed what exactly it was.

Smiling, you leaned into your boyfriend as you walked home.

[flowercrowngods]

It’s dark when Eddie comes home, but he knows Steve‘s home, working on all those damn essays and papers and whatever the horrors of academia might have in their repertoire for him today. Lights out might either be a really good sign or a really bad one. Eddies hoping for the latter as he pulls off his shoes and shucks his jacket.

He doesn’t call out to Steve, doesn’t want to wake him if he’s asleep or startle him if he’s overwhelmed, potentially making it worse. Eddie hates making it worse.

Stepping into the living room, he finds his love lying on the floor. Still, could be incredibly good or incredibly bad.

“Stevie,” he says gently, almost a whisper, and smiles when he gets a reaction rather immediately. It’s too dark to really see his eyes, but—

They catch the light just so when Steve moves his head to look at Eddie, and he can see unshed tears in them. His heart aches and he’s on the floor beside him in a heartbeat.

“Oh, love, hi,” he says.

“Hi,” Steve says, smiling through the hoarseness of his voice. “Didn’t wanna turn on the lights.” He sniffs, reaching up to wipe at his face.

Eddie just shakes his head and lifts a hand to comb through Steve’s hair, ruffled and wild and absolutely adorable. “That’s fine, don’t worry about it. Lights are overrated anyway.” He leans down to kiss Steve’s forehead, the tip of his nose, and finally his lips. “Did the essays win?”

“No,” Steve says with a sigh, m reaching for Eddie’s hand to keep him close. “I won. But at what cost.”

Eddie snorts at that, a laugh bubbling out of his chest as he quickly lies down to join Steve, their fingers still laced in a gentle but secure grip.

“At the cost of me not having to wipe the floor tomorrow, so that’s actually great,” he jokes, revelling in Steve’s chuckle.

“You never wipe the floor, Eddie.”

“Hush, love. We’re having Floor Time.”

Steve sighs and makes it sound like cuddling close to Eddie and resting his beautiful head on the Black Sabbath print is the greatest hardship life could possibly throw at. God, Eddie loves him so fucking much.

“I love you so fucking much.”

“Hush, love,” Steve retaliates with a smile and a kiss to Eddie’s jaw. “We’re having Floor Time.”

So fucking much.

Steve Harrington x fem!reader

[a/n] sorry for the lack of posts for valen-cries I’m still working on my requests but I thought I’d finish this wip. Also if it wasn't obvious this is a songfic based on stay by Colorblind

[warnings!] self deprecation, metaphorical abuse? Implication of drugs but not actually taking any cause it’s also metaphorical. Its just angsty and ambiguous, feel free to interpret the ending how you wish.

Valen-cries masterlist available here!

Abuse me, I like the punishment

You keep me focused, I don't need no Ritalin

I like when you keep me guessing, its alright

Its alright

It was only supposed to be one night but one night turned into two., two to three until there were too many to count. It had started with just some light flirting and the odd touch yet it quickly became so much more, so much so that you weren’t sure where you stood anymore. 

Steve was so persuasive with his sweet whispers and cheeky looks, how could you refuse? It didn’t help that you had a major crush on him back in high school and the moment he’d so much as looked your way, you’d fallen again. 

How pathetic, here you were fighting off your feelings for a guy who only ever saw you as a fuck buddy. Just another toy to warm his bed like numerous others before you, as if you even stood a chance. However, saying that you wouldn’t have it any other way.

Can we turn our feelings off?

I need you baby, just for one night,

One night

He’d call at the same time every night you spent apart, his gravely voice sending chills down your spine in the silence of your bedroom, where the boundaries of friendship and romance blurred across the distance. Some nights you’d talk for hours and hours, others simply bask in each others silence finding the need for words overrated.

In the darkness of the night you’d find yourself tracing over the freckles and faint scars that kissed his skin, trying to memorise every inch of him as if he would disappear at any second. If you could contain this memory forever you would, alas that would only make the pain harder when you inevitably parted.

I know what you’re looking for,

You make it feel like its the first time, every time

Every time

Coming down from the high was always difficult, doubt crippling you as you lay cold and empty. You tell yourself it will be the last time and it never is, the unhealthy hold he has over you enticing you back again and again. Unsure of wether you could do this anymore and chest tightening with every breath, what other choice was there but to run?

I don't really wanna fight right now,

I don't really see the point right now,

And if the love wasn’t real enough what the hell we gonna do when the truth comes out?

Steve wasn’t really one for commitment, you both knew that, so why did it hurt so much watching you leave each time? Would you stay if he asked? Or were you only in it for the sex? He had no right to ask, his reputation made sure of that but that didn’t stop the conflicting feelings threatening to spill with your presence. 

I’d rather start it on a blank page,

I think I like it with a new face

You dont wanna wait for me, its safe to be

Stuck inside this place where we keep faking things,

Running in circles looking for an end that didn’t exist seemed pointless but anything was easier than confronting your feelings, even uncertainty felt more stable than the mess you were floating in, head barley above water and still refusing to swim. You hadn’t realised that in the ocean of your mind Steve had been searching for you, begging you to stay afloat with him. 

I think you’re finally breaking me,

The way it seems you’re making me,

Stay

idk how familiar you are with modern captain america comics/most recent cap stuff, but they're so bad and so endgame-like in how it just throws random ideas at a wall to see what sticks, but it just ends up covering any good ideas they manage to get with 💩 . and the newest ones just seem to resent the fact that they're writing a book with Bucky & Steve, at times it literally feels like those "not team cap friendly" fanfictions with the way they get their characters so wrong go to lengths to "prove" (thru OOC writing) that the friendship of this franchise isn't important/overrated to uplift other things in its place 🙃

Like I would love nothing more if the creative team suddenly got replaced/got their 💩 together and continued this awful plotline with Bucky & Steve genuinely being part of the same team, because for some reason marvel seems to avoid Steve & Buck fighting alongside each other like it's the worst thing ever... even though they're supposed to be BFFs??? so like my delusional hope for this 💩 to turn itself around is if we finally a long term Bucky Steve team up

and if I was in charge, I'd retcon away a lot of the Cold War OOC-ness that felt spiteful and destructive/regressive & instead add some of my own constructive retcons to enhance and progress Bucky & Steve's old canon dynamic instead of mischaracterizing it and crushing it and trying to wipe it away, something like:

And after the events of the Cold War event, Steve and Bucky join forces once again finally and have a heart to heart after being reminded of the last time they teamed up together -- Steve recalls when he first met Bucky at Camp Lehigh before being injected with the superserum, and he remembers the way Bucky protected small skinny Steve Rogers at bootcamp without even asking for anything in return. This was the foundation of Steve's trust in Bucky, how Bucky stepped up as Steve's protector and guardian angel(with a shotgun) -- And Bucky reminds Steve that he always protected him from the cold harsh realities of war and bloodshed and was the one to do the dirty work that needed to be done; Bucky got his own hands dirty to keep Steve's hands clean -- And in the wake of the events with the Outer Circle, Steve confesses to Bucky that he doesn't want Bucky to have to do that, tells him that if he needs to get his hands dirty too, then so be it, as long as they do it together. -- Steve pleads Bucky to watch his back and be his (fallen)guardian angel again, to not leave him again -- Steve opens his arms and Bucky accepts wraps and morphs* his arm around Steve like a metal wing as a protective symbol, a sign of his commitment to watch over Steve like he has always done.

.*I actually don't like the stuff these new comics did to Bucky's arm, chopping it off and adding a "freakier" "evil" one, it feels like they are doing it to (ableist-ly) dehumanize Bucky as "damaged" and "corrupted" like how marvel always loves to do to the guy imprisoned and tortured by Nazis, but if Bucky's gonna have a shapeshifting metal arm then they could at least use it to create some (positive) visual symbolism, but doing that requires an actual love for the characters which the new(ish) creatives in charge of Bucky & Steve seem to be devoid of

I don't read them (and frankly don't know why anyone who liked the characters still would) but I've seen the bad panels on twitter. And... it's the homophobia.

They must be separated and undermined and the disabled one must be demonized and made monstrous because #givecapaboyfriend trended on twitter and Sebastian Stan's contract is ending. They hired artistically bankrupt writers with no interest or investment in the characters, and no intention of bettering themselves, because those writers had those qualities. And Lady Brexit must be lionized and shoved down our throats at all cost to cover up the fact that they adapted a Nazi character, and because the actress fucked Tom Cruise and made herself seem briefly relevant and useful to have on staff again.

“Dads are overrated.” Stranger Things?

A/N: I actually wrote this before watching season 3 as I wanted to see if I could get his character right just by reading about him & catching his vibe in gifs etc. My OC (reader-Hopper’s daughter) lives with Joyce after his death, but returns to Hawkins for a while to see her friends in season 4. (I also couldn’t find anything about Eddie’s parents so made something up).

“Dads are overrated,” Eddie said with a dismissive wave of his hand as he kicked a loose stone across the road. “Parents are overrated,” he then corrected. He laced his hands at the back of his head and stuck his tongue out, tasting the first raindrops of the inevitable storm he could feel arriving.

“Hm?” Your absent frown deepened for a moment as you turned your gaze up at him from your seat on the gravel. You straightened a little when his words registered, shaking your head. “Oh, no, Ed, that’s not what I—I loved my dad.” Eddie turned to look at you, tongue still sticking out. You’d both been sat on the isolated road for an hour now, the sun beginning to dip in the horizon, and your previously incongruous conversation had somehow stumbled upon the subject of parental figures. Eddie had told you about his shitty uncle and you’d briefly mentioned your mom and Joyce, but your mood had suddenly plummeted at the reminder of your dad. You hadn’t known Eddie long, your introduction coming recently via Dustin with your return to Hawkins, but it was obvious to everyone that you’d hit it off immediately. There was a comfortability to your relationship that had you forgetting everything bad for the length you were together. Until something like this happened, anyway.

You sniffed and bit your lip. “He was underrated, if anything.”

Eddie took a moment, slowly retracting his tongue. “Huh,” he said. “Sorry. Guess I just assumed. Guess I shouldn’t just assume. My dad was a piss poor attempt so…” He trailed off, twisting his face in contemplation.

“Where is he now?” you asked, bracing your arms behind you and leaning back.

Eddie shrugged. “Don’t know. Don’t care. You?” It was less than three seconds before something seemed to barrel into his mind, and his mouth opened slightly, eyes widening in realisation. “Oh,” he muttered just as he clocked the look on your face. “Crap. Damn...I’m sorry, I just, like, uh—” 

“No, it’s—Eddie, it’s fine.” You took a deep breath and forced a smile. You’d known that coming back to Hawkins would dig up things you’d been trying to bury. Joyce had done her best to make you stay in California longer, very aware that returning too soon would unravel everything you’d done to help yourself grieve, but you, despite not wanting to leave El, had needed some sort of familiarity, no matter the consequences. You’d needed to walk the roads of your home and sit in bed with Nancy to talk about anything and everything. You’d needed to bump into people you knew and tell them to have a nice day and toss a ball around with Steve. You’d needed to do anything other than navigate the crowded streets of California and bump into prissy girls who believed themselves higher than everyone else. 

It had worked so far.

“My dad was the Chief of Police,” you said, “and he...he died pretty fucking courageously. He saved a lotta lives.”

Eddie nodded slowly, the corners of his lips twitching upwards. “He does sound pretty underrated,” he said. “I think he was in the paper once. My uncle uses them as kindling.” He walked closer and sat opposite you. His legs crossed in front of him and he leant his elbows on his knees, resting his chin in his hands. “You miss him, huh?”

Understatement of your entire life. You actually laughed at it, a breath of morbid amusement coming from your nose, and Eddie rose his brows in innocent surprise, though he didn’t say anything.

“Yeah,” you said finally, your voice quiet and strained. You picked at a rock on the road, the mud gathering under your nails. Your muscles tensed and you rolled your shoulders back, your chest heaving with a deep breath. You didn’t want to talk about this right now, and in some beautiful understanding, Eddie knew. 

“Have you ever danced in a rainstorm?” he asked abruptly, turning his head up to the sky. He stuck his tongue out again and spoke around it. “‘Cuth ith’s really thucking thun.”

You laughed then for an entirely different reason, giggles sputtering from your lips unlike they had since you’d seen your dad for the last time. “You’re crazy,” you said as the rain picked up, thunder grumbling in the distance. Eddie stood to his feet and extended an arm.

“The good kind?” he asked with a grin.

You lifted your arm and Eddie grasped it tight to pull you up. “The best.”

Stranger Things Masterpost

send me the first sentence of a fanfic and i’ll write the next five, except i don’t know when to stop writing so i guarantee there’ll be more than five  

[starkstruck27]

Tag game: Stranger Things Edition!!

I was tagged by my bestie @oopsiedaisiesbaby. Love you!!💚💚

1. Ride or die ship (your otp): Harringrove

2. Most annoying ship: Mileven

3. Second favorite ship: probably mungrove (bonus points if I get the best of both worlds and it ends up as harringroveson)

4. Favorite platonic relationship: Either stobin or elmax. They're both amazing <3

5. Underrated ship: gonna go with elmax again for this one. Or Keg Boys. I feel like they don't get as much love as they deserve.

6. Overrated ship: normally I would say steddie, but I also love them, too, so I'm gonna say ronance. I can see it, but at the same time... meh?

7. One thing I would change in canon: a lot of the random, unneeded deaths. Bob, Billy, Alexei, Benny, Barb, Chrissy? I feel like none of those needed to happen for the plot to move along, and even if they did, like they didn't have to make them like an "Oh well, they're dead :/" thing. Like, they didn't deserve that. And even if they didn't do that, the way the other characters reacted to the deaths was kinda shallow, too. Like Nancy losing Barb would broken my heart a lot more if they didn't use her mourning as a plot device to make her lose Steve and hook up with Jonathan.

8. Something canon did right: the character dynamics. The way they had the kids fighting over petty shit while bad things were happening, how Dustin didn't have a dad so he latched onto Steve as an older brother type positive influence, the way Hopper had to get used to being a dad again and ask Joyce for help? All of that was just beautifully done.

9. A thing I'm proud of creating for the Fandom PLEASE BRAG ABOUT YOURSELF I WANT TO SEE/READ YOUR ART: All of my works on Ao3, but probably my favorite (at the moment) is my fic So Give Him Inches and Feed Him Well or my six fic series Cool To Hate.

10. A character who is perfect to me (wouldn't change a thing): Max, Lucas, Dustin and Will. They're all so sweet and funny and I love them.

11. The character I relate to the most and why: normally I would say Billy, but lately it's been more Max. She's stuck in a house with a jerk of an older brother who goes off like a volcano over the littlest things, though most of the time he's dormant unless he wants to annoy her, and she has to witness him and the only father figure she has fighting all the time. Getting into screaming matches, sometimes getting physical, and while in my situation it's more the son causing problems for the father, it's still bad. The only reprieve I get is when I'm out with my friends, and even though I still care about both of them, I'm starting to lose that love for one of them (in her case Neil, in my case my brother) because of how they treat everyone else and acts like everything is normal afterwards.

12. The character I hate the most and why: Karen Fucking Wheeler. How she can go from being a concerned, doting mother in season one to pretty much a sexual predator in the span of a few seasons, I'll never know. I could understand if she cheated on Ted and went after someone her own age, but the fact that she went after a boy no older than her daughter just makes me sick. And yes, Billy flirted with her, too, but come on. He's a misguided 17-18 year old abused kid looking for any kind of affection wherever he can get it. And Karen is the adult. She should fucking know better.

13. Something I've learned from the fandom: How to politely disagree with people and kill them with kindness. That's why I have an anti's ask pinned to the top of my blog, because I want people to know that I don't care who or what they like, so I'll respect them, but if they come onto my blog actively trying to start shit, I will not fucking stand for it :)

14. Three tags I seek out on Ao3: hurt/comfort, Fluff and Angst, and enemies to lovers.

15. A song I strongly associate with my otp/favorite characters: I made a whole playlist dedicated to Billy, so.... but if I had to pick -

For harringrove: In The Woods Somewhere by Hozier or Don't You Dare (Make Me Fall In Love With You) by Kaden MacKay

For Billy: Far Too Young To Die by Panic! At The Disco, Beautiful Girls by Van Halen, Bella by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Cherry Pie by Warrant. Also pretty much Guns N Roses' entire discography.

So, everyone I usually tag for these has already done it (I think), but on the off chance you didn't, I'll tag @thissortofsorcery and @half-oz-eddie , as well as anyone else who wants to participate!

Kill me if you wish, but I fully expect Will to either 1. Die or 2. Get vecna'd/join him

AND HEAR ME OUT HEAR ME OUT ITS A FAIRLY GOOD REASON AS OF TO WHY

Ok, so Will has been through SO much since the beginning. And he was focused on for only so long until people slowly began to ignore him. I mean, he was basically only there up until season 2, and after that he was like nonexistent. Only now is he finally starting to appear again, but that in itself is still rare. I mean, the WHOLE reason half of them met each other was due to WILL and yet they still treat him like shit. If Will hadn't gone missing than they wouldn't have found El, and hopper wouldn't have really gotten involved with them. Which would mean Jonathan wouldn't have met Nancy. So in all, Nancy and Steve could have stayed together. Which is an explosion just waiting to happen. Not to mention Will was stuck in the Upside down for a week, and god knows what happened down there. He possibly went days without food and water, yet still survived. Imagine how traumatizing it was for them. And at that moment the one person who was set on finding him was actually; and don't hate me; Lucas. I mean, Dustin and Mike were going crazy over what El could do and stuff, while Lucas just wanted to find Will and be done with it all. And once Will was found, Lucas was one of the first people to give him a hug. And throughout all of that, who was Mike worried about? El. I mean, don't me wrong, I love el, I do, but she's just so overrated. I truly think she didn't really care for him until later in the seasons, for obvious reasons. Anyways, don't get me started on when Mike told El "My life started the day I met you" which just so happened to be the day he lost his best friend? I mean, they even forgot about Will's birthday. I mean, Mike was ok during season 1 and 2, but after that I literally hate him with a burning passion. i get he went through trauma, but he's so focused on himself and occasionally El he basically ignored everyone else, like being El's boyfriend is his whole personality. He basically made Will's feelings and trauma so unimportant and I hate that. And the raining scene when they got into a fight? Good god, he better be thankful Will didn't snap and punch him, because I sure as hell would. He basically dismissed Will's concerns and likes, and that hurt Will without a doubt. I mean, I get what happened with Mike and all, but the poor kid just wants to enjoy what childhood he has left, and you just HAVE to be an asshole to him? All over a girl? Not to mention the latest scene were Mike got into it with Will, Will didn't even do anything and you decide to snap at him? And you don't even redeem yourself with El. Like, what the hell? Poor will man, he was stuck in some hellish place, starved and dehydrated as hell for a week, was possessed, was pit down by his 'BEST FRIEND', forgotten about, the same day his friend came back was his birthday and he and his birthday was forgotten about, and than he was yelled at by his friend. Like, I'm fairly sure if that was someone, they would have snapped already. And I'm fairly sure this will be HIS season. And if it isn't, than I'm gonna fuck someone up and sue. I get that Mike might be struggling with his feelings right now, but that leaves him NO ROOM to just fuck Will over like that. To make will seem so little compared to him. I want will to hold that fucking shotgun up to Vecna and shoot. I want Will to finally feel big enough to step up. I want him to have his revenge arc, because he deserves at least that much. I want them to realize how much Will actually does, and how much they fucking NEED him. I want it. I need it. Cause I'm so over him getting constantly stepped on. By his old best friend. That may or may not like him.

I'm ready to throw hands with Mike. And i will if he keeps dismissing Will's feelings, worries, likes, and concerns. Thank you for listening to my daily Ted talk of 'I'm gonna sue, and there are reasons and rights'. Have a good day.

[wikiangela]

okay, so, I managed to get through s4 of ST - general consensus: won't be watching s5 for sure lmao

so here are my general opinions on s4 and probably some unpopular opinions that no one cares about but I wanna get it out there anyway lol:

(don't keep reading if you get super defensive over this show, I don't have many positive things to say 😂)

first of all, it was super long oh my god (imo every episode could be like at least twenty minutes shorter, and especially the last 3 episodes - I spent like 3 days on each one lmao it was too long) I was bored half the time and had to watch it sped up and I honestly struggled to finish it (I only finished it because I don't like to leave things halfway through and it did become hilarious at some point lol) and even sped up it felt way too long, especially like pauses in dialogue, like jfc how did anyone watch it at normal speed

I didn't care about any storyline or any character - surprisingly even the Hopper Joyce Russia story - that was so fucking boring, didn't enjoy it at all, didn't even care that they finally kissed lmao

didn't care for Eleven at all, couldn't even feel bad for her for even a second, she was annoying as always tbh 😂😂 (let's just say she hasn't really ever been my fave character)

I lowkey think Steve is so overrated and annoying and he could die for all I care sns

(and don't get me started on the Stancy bullshit 🤢)

(also, I really don't get all the obsession over Eddie, like... why do people love him so much?)

I might not remember s3 almost at all but I feel like every character annoyed me much more in s4 tbh

there were moments where the dialogue was so cheesy and cringe, and some spoonfeeding the audience tbh - and generally at some point it was just so ridiculous I was laughing at it all (it's soo funny and in addition when it's sped up, I swear it's basically a comedy lol)

I watched most of the second half of the season while doing other stuff, just having it in the background because I couldn't sit there and watch, I was too bored 😂😂 but it was still hilarious 😂 I did sit through the last hour of the finale and omg it's so funny

seriously, I saw so many article headlines about like "tragic, devastating death in the finale" but I was laughing my ass off sns 😂 (I couldn't care less about Eddie, and Max - if she's dead 💁🏻‍♀️- wasnt my favorite either since she showed up 💁🏻‍♀️) - tho I admit I teared up a bit when Eddie's uncle found out about his death, and it was cute when El and Hopper reunited lol relationships with parents and parental figures always get me 😂

it turned into kinda background noise, kinda hate-watching, and the hate-watching and laughing at it was kinda fun tbh, so it wasn't a complete waste of time haha

it's so weird, because I loved s1 and I remember enjoying s2 and s3 (tho I couldn't tell you a single thing that happened in 2 and 3) but this one was just... yikes

the only positive for me was that it was hilarious and very easy to make fun of, and great background noise while still quite easy to follow 😂 (and my crush on Natalia Dyer/Nancy Wheeler is still strong so loved seeing her)

I'm 99% sure I won't be watching s5, though if I'm very bored or smth when it comes out, and if I need some background noise, I might check out at least one episode 😂

[metalheadsimp]

Eddie x Y/n | angst? (More like “they both die in the end”)

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><

“Just stop!” You yelled at the boy, who looked so hurt.

“I can’t just stop! Don’t you get it? I love you so much y/n and you can’t even look me in the eyes and tell me whats going on!” He tried to get through to you. He felt that something was off but you just built up this wall, like you always did. “Y/n please. I wanna help you..”

“That’s just the thing Eddie. I. Don’t. Need. Help. I am fine god damn it. I’m not sick. I don’t need to be saved everything is alright. Why can’t you just let it go?”

Clearly frustrated he stepped forward trying to grab your hand but you pulled away.

“Don’t “ you warned him.

“Seriously. I’m not saying you’re sick. I’m not even trying to save you. You’re strong enough to save yourself I know that! But I wanna know why you’re so distant lately. Even if it’s another boy. I wanna know.”

He looked down and you felt a sting in your heart. It hurt you that he really believed there could be another boy.

“Oh. Don’t you dare say I would ever cheat or love someone else than you Eddie!-“

He didn’t let you finish, stepping forward and this time successfully griping your hand.

“The tell me what it is! Stop pulling away from me! Stop lying to me, stop telling me you’re with max when you aren’t, stop telling me you’re just daydreaming when I can’t even fucking make you move. You were frozen in place y/n. Christ you didnt even acknowledge me at all!”

“I would never Lie to you.” you whispered.

“Thats a fucking Lie itself!”

“I don’t know what you want from me. There is nothing I can say except that you’re imagining all of that. You’re overreacting.”

With that you pulled your hand from his grip and turned around.

“Fine walk away from me. Like you always do.”

You felt your eyes water. You loved him so much. You didn’t want to hurt him or have him worry about you. You didn’t want him to think you were crazy. Seeing a granpa Clock wherever you went. More frequently lately.

But you couldn’t just walk away from him. His pain was making you sick to your stomach and in a pathetic attempt to ease it a little bit you turned around again. He still stood there, eyes glued to your face. Tears in his eyes. His precious eyes. You carefully took his hands in yours playing with his rings.

“I can’t stand to see you sad Eddie.” You whispered.

“I know darling. I know. Just c’mere.” He pulled you into his arms, making you sob, wetting his shirt with your tears. He held the back of your head with his hand playing with your hair. His other hand ever so softly placed on your back. He pressed a kiss to the top of your head.

“It’s alright doll. Whatever it is. We’ll do this together.” He bent his head back to look at you.

“I love you so so much y/n y/l/n.”

You sniffled wiping your tears.

“I live you too Eds. A lot. But I’m still mad that you think I would cheat so let me go home and be grumpy now.” You joked half heartedly and he let go of you with and apologetic look on his face.

“Of course princess.”

One last kiss and you left feeling his eyes follow you until you got around the next corner. What you had kept from him was that you knew you were gonna die. You had told the others trying to find a way out of it with them. So naturally you went to meet up with them in mikes basement now. You felt like they didn’t believe you completely but they at least didn’t make you feel crazy and tried to help.

At mikes basement Steve and dustin where having a conversation about Steve’s love life and how he should shave his chest hairs. You didn’t feel like talking right now and you didn’t want to interrupt anybody so you just sat there listening to the chatters of the others.

Robin slumped into the seat next to you.

“Steve really just said that Abba is overrated.” She said pretending to be hurt.

You smiled at her.

“I mean they’re not my fav as well but they’re pretty good.”

She looked at you curious.

“So then what’s your favorite song?”

You clicked your tongue thinking about that question.

“You probably don’t know it.”

“Try me.” She smiled at you.

“I got mine by Motörhead. Eddie showed it to me and I’ve listening to it nonstop since then.” You smiled thinking of how exited Eddie got when he heard you listening to the song in your room when you were talking over the walkie talkie.

“Well I mean I’ve heard of motörhead I think.”

You waved your hand brushing it off.

“It’s not that important.”

That conversation was a week ago when you didnt know that your favorite song might be you saving.

Now that nancy had just stormed into the room informing you that it could save you. It was already to late.

It left robin shaking your body and steve panicking.

Nancy was yelling at robing trying to help her remember your favorite song. Dustin was trying to reach eddie over the walkie-talkie. Everything was chaotic but for you it was all so silent just the rhythmical ticking of a clock and then he appeared.

You started to run from him as fast as you could. You heard his voice and then you tripped in one second vecna had you pushed up against a tree hand over your face.

Steve screamed in horror when your bones started to crack, Robin jumped away. Nancy was trying to hold you down. And dustin held on to your unbroken bones hoping they wouldn’t snap if he held them. But they did. Your jaw snapped open and your eyes disappeared into your skull. And then you fell. Your dead body landed on the ground.

A few minutes later robin was rocking back and forth on her heels in a corner and nancy tried to calm her down. Steve had put your body onto the couch and covered it up with a blanket, trying to hid his tears he held dustin in his arms but let go of the boy when Eddie stormed in.

Steve tried holding him back but Eddie made his way into the room.

“WHERE IS SHE?” He screamed in terror.

“I’m so sorry man.” Was all steve said. And Eddies face went white.

“No. No. That can’t be happening.”

Robin sobbed.

“I forgot her favorite song..” her voice was silent and Eddie broke down.

An agonizing scream left his body when he pulled the blanket from your body.

He fell down on the ground next to your body. Trying to “fix” your broken bones.

“No no no no no no.” Was all that left his lips. His head dropped onto your chest and he hummed to himself.

“Here's a story, there's only me

No other place for you to be

It's only you, babe, it's only you

I can't believe the things you do

Right now, right here

Ain't gonna let you disappear

Right now, this time

You got yours and I got mine, come on

Come on, lover, go back to start

I got your picture in my heart

It's only me, babe, it's only me

Refuse, disposal, refugee

Right now, right here

You just might be my new career

Right now, this time

You got yours and I got mine

Come on, babe, stay close to me

You got me falling out my tree

Be my lover, the only one

Be anything but don't be gone

Right now, right here

Ain't gonna let you disappear

Right now, this time

You got yours and I got mine”

And then he got up pressed a kiss to your hand and left.

A few days later steve found Eddie’s body the same way as yours in his trailer.

Nancy liked to think you were back together now.

My unpopular SATC opinions

Miranda is annoying and very often gives me Karen vibes. She is high-strung, high-maintanence and very easily upset, I would go crazy if I spent too much time with her in real life.

Samantha is overrated. Like don't get me wrong, I love her but she is not this aspirational Goddess the fandom makes her out to be, she is extremely flawed. Her sex life is not something to aspire to, she is in fact very irresponsible by sleeping with all these strange men (and letting them into her apartment!) and never even once getting tested for HIV and not mention immoral- she sleeps with married men with no shame but when Carrie does it the fandom slanders her. Also many of her pickup techniques would be considered sexual harassment if the roles were reversed like yelling loudly: "wanna fuck?" at the guy in the middle of the yoga class or what she did to that masseur.

Carrie is flawed and annoying but nowhere near the monster some of the fandom makes her out to be. She is actually quite relatable but people don't want to admit it.

Charlotte is actually my fave. She knows what she wants and isn't afraid to go after it. Not to mention she always looks flawless. And no, she is not a "prude" like the show wants us to believe. She has sex on the third date or even second or first all the time and once she even slept with someone she had just met that same day! (On the season 2 wedding). In season 1 she was so open to experimentation she even considered having a threesome. She just spouts this prudish rhetoric because she believes this is what a "proper" woman is supposed to be but behind closed doors she can let loose.

It's a bit annoying how they have a different guy every episode and they are either terrible or the girls dump them over something superficial. I think these girls invented "getting the ick".

Carrie actually belongs with Big not Aidan. I am surprised the fandom is rooting for him, the guy deserves much better. Carrie is addicted to drama and seeks out unavailable men and Aidan is too available, safe and boring for her. She got bored of him after a few weeks of dating for crying out loud! If Carrie had just stayed with Aidan this show would have been very boring and not the same. Yes, I am aware that Big and Carrie are toxic together but that's part of the entertainment.

Even though she was overly harsh, I actually understand why Charlotte was upset that Samantha slept with her brother - he was technically still married at the time and Charlotte wanted him to work it out with his wife.

The only girl's budget and lifestyle that doesn't make sense is Carrie's. Miranda and Samantha have prominent high-paying jobs and Charlotte comes from old money so she probably bought her fancy apartment with her trust fund.

Miranda and Steve are a terrible couple.

It was out of character for Charlotte to withhold sex from Trey for so long and I don't understand why she did it. In season 2 when she met that 'perfect' guy at the wedding she couldn't resist and slept with him the same day. My theory is that what the guy said to her in the episode before she met Trey ("you fucking whore, you fucking bitch") really got to her and she decided to change.

Their lifestyle is unrealistic, no 30+ year old has this much energy to go out and it's impossible to coordinate 4 people's schedules to meet this often! But that's the case with every sitcom.

[erin-bo-berin]

heyy it’s me Sophia 💖 let’s play a game !!

underrated or overrated characters

elaborate please

Jonathan Byers

Eddie Munson

Nancy wheeler

I don’t think any of them are overrated because I love them all.

But I do wish Jonathan gets more of a storyline or development in the last season because fourth season kinda made him seem very two dimensional.

I love him and Nancy together though. They’re an adorable couple and seem more perfect for each other than Steve and Nancy. I definitely feel like Jonathan is underrated when it comes to the Steve vs. Jonathan thing. I’m still weirded out by the whole photo thing happening and wish the writers didn’t have that happen but I chalk it up to a big stupid teenage mistake. He kinda had a crush on Nancy at that point I feel like and just did something really stupid. But, like I said I feel like he’s better suited for Nancy. He wants her to follow her dreams and career goals and would happily settle down whenever she was ready. Steve would be ready to go in like .2 seconds lol love him but you get my point.

Eddie, I want more time with 😭 I love the fact that he’s like a second dad to Dustin along with Steve. He also just seemed so comfortable being who he was, other than the fact he thought of himself a coward. But he didn’t give a fuck what people thought and it’s refreshing. He’s also just a cinnamon roll tbh.

Nancy, while I was really annoyed with her this past season, I still love her. She’s went from this kinda meek, good girl to a stronger woman and a complete badass. Writers making her wishy washy in the relationship department could really go though like this already happened once before but the opposite way, let’s not do it again okay?

Long winded answer whew sorry about that

The Beatles

Toto

Heart

(Paul McCartney and) Wings

Fleetwood Mac

The Doors

Hall and Oates

Genesis

Yeah!! Really Good!

The Cars

The Scorpions

Led Zeppelin

Uriah Heep

Manfred Mann's Earth Band

The Jimi Hendrix Experience

America

The Police

Creedence Clearwater Revival

REO Speedwagon

The Alan Parsons Project

Supertramp

Cream

The Guess Who

Yes

The Moody Blues

The Little River Band

Ehhhhhhhh They're Okay:

The Rolling Stones (never really got myself into them but I do like a few of their songs, including Miss You, Jumping Jack Flash, and Paint it Black)

Rush (still trying to get a little more into this band since I've discovered some stuff of theirs that I really like, also the late Neil Peart is a fantastic drummer and although Geddy Lee's voice takes some getting used to, he doesn't sound as bad as many people make him out to be)

Kansas

Aerosmith (I honestly find them overrated and overplayed, especially freaking Dream On and I Don't Want to Miss a Thing, although I do really like Same Old Song and Dance, Back in the Saddle, and Angel)

Pink Floyd (I now like them a little more than I used to, when I thought they were incredibly bland, and I think the album The Wall is a masterpiece)

The Who

Deep Purple

Grand Funk Railroad

Steve Miller Band (I hear their hits WAY TOO MUCH on the radio, especially The Joker, which I positively fucking hate, but they honestly aren't too bad, and their stuff from the late 60s, like Space Cowboy, is definitely overlooked)

Thin Lizzy (The Boys Are Back in Town is my favorite of theirs atm, I haven't really found anything of theirs that lives up to that but I still enjoy listening to it)

Steely Dan

Jethro Tull (a lot of their songs are pretty decent, and if there was ever a hard rock band that could masterfully blend in the flute, then this was it. Locomotive Breath still slaps)

The Yardbirds

U2 (again, never really got into them, although I love Bono's voice)

Journey (ISTFG if I hear Don't Stop Believing one more goddamn time I'm going to rip the whole radio out of my car and toss it out the window. But seriously, I would have genuinely enjoyed that song if they didn't overplay it to the point where it's grating on my ears. I never was a huge fan of Journey in general, although I do like Stone in Love, Who's Crying Now, Girl Can't Help It, and City of the Angels (my blog's namesake!))

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers (Tom Petty (RIP)'s voice has never been one that I've absolutely loved, but he still did put out some great songs, like Breakdown, You Got Lucky, Mary Jane's Last Dance, and Refugee)

Don't Really Like But Will Listen To (and by that, I mean I only like one or two of their songs, or if I'm stuck in a waiting room or something and genuinely don't have a choice)

AC/DC (never really liked their sound, only song of theirs I genuinely like is Highway to Hell, although I think Angus Young is a fantastic guitarist and Bon Scott was one of the greatest rock band frontmen, it's a shame we lost him so soon)

KISS (all their songs except for Beth pretty much sound the same and it's pretty irritating, although I still find them listenable. I do like I Was Made for Loving You, but that's pretty much it)

The B-52s (Love Shack is one of the cheesiest and most obnoxious songs I have ever heard and I immediately change the station when it comes on. A lot of their other stuff isn't really enjoyable for me either, but I do like Roam)

Bon Jovi (Livin on a Prayer is right up there with Don't Stop Believing as one of the most overplayed and annoying 80s anthems ever. Along with that, I just never really liked their overall sound or Jon Bon Jovi's voice, although I do like Runaway)

Lynyrd Skynyrd (Simple Man and What's Your Name are okay but I just never really cared for this band. I also can't take Sweet Home Alabama seriously anymore because of how it became meme material)

ZZ Top (I never really enjoyed their sound that much, I also can't take them seriously anymore because of how my mother once said they looked like a group of child m*lesters)

The Beach Boys (their musical catalogue is almost purely 60s surfer corniness and that's not really my cup of tea, and I don't really like that many of their songs to be considered a fan. I do love Good Vibrations and Little Saint Nick though)

The Monkees (I just never really got into this group to the point where I genuinely enjoy their music, sorry)

The Kinks (Catch Me Now I'm Falling may be the only song I enjoy by them, really. Also, I think Lola is incredibly obnoxious)

DO NOT LIKE, PERIOD:

Guns and Roses (sorry, but I just cannot get past Axl Rose's whiny, screechy vocals, and I want to rip out my eardrums whenever I hear anything by them, especially their cover of Live and Let Die and the two songs they always play on the radio, Welcome to the Jungle and Sweet Child O' Mine)

Dire Straits (I just do not like the sound of this group at all, I'd much rather be listening to music from Sesame Street)

Talking Heads (they're just awful IMO, and Burning Down the House is one of my least favorite songs from the 80s)

Red Hot Chili Peppers (again, awful and really tacky)

The Ramones (I never liked their sound, and from what I've heard, all their songs are repetitive and bland and they sound really unenergetic, but maybe that's just me)

**Please keep in mind that this is solely based on my opinion, and I don't expect any of you to agree with me 100%. Please don't be rude when replying or reblogging, thank you!**

[surveys-at-your-service]

“whatever doesn’t kill you, is gonna leave a scar”

Have you ever bought a YouTuber’s merch? My favorite shirt is the Day of the Dead design by Cloak, which is Markiplier's and jacksepticeye's clothing brand.

No. If you could move out of your home country permanently, would you? If so, where would you go? If it didn't mean being so very far from my family, I would love to move to Canada.

Have you ever felt like you were someone’s rebound? No. Has anybody ever broken up with you over something really pathetic? What was it? Have you ever been dumped in a disrespectful way? (eg. through text, through a friend..) I have 100% been dumped in a very cowardly and disrespectful way; after dating Jason for nearly four years and being very serious, he broke up with me very abruptly over Facebook Messenger. His reason was valid, but at the same time, he NEVER talked to me about it. Apparently my depression was dragging him down. If he'd fucking communicated it, I would have explored new treatment options so goddamn fast. But no, he decided to snap his fingers and disappear. That's exactly WHY it was so traumatic, I think: it was so unexpected and sudden. Did you have a lot of role models as a kid? Animal enthusiasts like Steve Irwin and Jeff Corwin for sure.

Do you know anyone who has been struck by lightning before? No. Which cartoon character would you want to keep as a pet? Does Stitch count? Or a Pokemon. Do you like marshmallows? Yes. What is your favorite flavor of candy cane? I really like the Jolly Rancher candy canes, I think they are? Have you ever fostered an animal? No. Do you still take hot showers when it’s hot out? Not as hot, but not cold except on very extreme occasions. When writing $ sign, do you draw one line through the S or two? Two. What animal have you always wanted as a pet but couldn’t have? I'm thankful that my parents were pretty open-minded to what pets I really wanted, but one I was never allowed to have was a ferret because of how messy and smelly they are. List three people you’ve had crushes on: Jason, Sara, and Sebastian were probably my biggest crushes. Have you ever thrown up from cramps? No, but god have I felt close. List three people you had a hard time forgiving. Jason, Colleen, and my dad. Who is the most spiritual person you know? Probably my sister's mother-in-law. Would you ever start a vlog? God no, I'd bore people to tears. Are your dreams coming true yet? I mean, I guess in some ways with my mental health.

I've been diagnosed with severe depression since 7th grade. Are you haunted by your past? A few things won't leave me alone. What medical conditions do you have? Just a lot. There are even more that are up for debate. I've talked about my diagnosed conditions enough. Do you use a Magic Bullet? No. What does your apron look like? I don’t have one. What are your favorite spicy foods? Hot Cheetos, Takis, hot wings, jalapeno pizza... Man, I love spicy food. Which do you like better: being an adult or being a kid? Being a kid. Were you excited to be a teenager on your thirteenth birthday? I had very mixed feelings. Did you feel insecure in high school? Shit, I still do. Would you ever be friends with someone who was suicidal? What the FUCK is this question? No fucking shit I would be. Someone being suicidal in no way affects who they are as a person. Who was the biggest bully in high school? I don't think there really was one. What was your favorite class in high school? Art. Would you rather have a daughter or a son? If I wanted kids, a daughter. Have you ever written to an advice columnist? No. Have you ever had a doctor not believe what you told him? Maybe? I did however have an employee at the ER the first time I went try to pry out of me that my self-mutilation was for attention, and it wasn't until I insisted about a dozen times that it wasn't that he believed me. It's odd looking back that I got REALLY attached to him during that stay, knowing now that it was absolutely horrible and extremely unhelpful for him to do that. If you’re female, would you feel uncomfortable having a male gynecologist? I would absolutely refuse to have a male one. Do you like Lisa Frank? Yeah, like can you talk about aesthetic. What gives you nightmares? Boy, I wish I could tell you, given how much I have them. Were you ever hospitalized as a child? No. Did you get senior pictures taken? No. What color is your bicycle? I don’t have one. Did you ever have to take home a fake baby in health class? No, thank fuck. Would you rather wear ivory or white on your wedding day? What color will your bridesmaids wear? I'd rather wear black. I think red will be the bridesmaids' color. Would you rather have a swimming pool or trampoline? I want a swimming pool so damn badly so I could exercise my legs without worrying about sweating, and I can stop and rest whenever I want, unlike going walking or something. I don't think my knees could handle a trampoline. Do you think babies are cute? Some, sure. But a lot, not really. Do you dream about the future a lot? Yeah. Do you think about your past a lot? Way too frequently. How good are you at living in the moment? I'm trying to get better at it. Have you ever questioned God’s existence? Yeah. Vanilla frosting or chocolate? Chocolate.

No. Did you do anything productive today? No. .-. Can you say the alphabet backwards? No, actually. Do you like flowers? Of course; does anyone not? Have you ever thought you were gonna die? I didn't care if I did or didn't. What kind of mood are you in today? I was honestly really depressed through most of it. Just health stuff was really getting to me. I just woke up from what was honestly like a four-hour nap and I feel all right, I guess. What are you craving right now? I REALLY want Domino's jalapeno pizza. Is there anyone you would seriously punch right now if you had the chance? No. What is worse, physical or emotional pain? Definitely emotional. Have you ever walked in on somebody doing something… questionable? When Dad still lived with us, I think he might have been watching... you know... on TV when I came into my parents' room for something. Idk for sure though. I didn't ask, and I don't want to know. If you were to make videos on YouTube, what would they be of? Oh god, idk. I don't want to make any. What I'd have most fun with would be reptile education, but I 1.) have literally one snake, 2.) am not extremely educated on a good number of them and don't want to be misleading, and 3.) I would run outta content fast. So, leave it to Snake Discovery, haha. Posting pictures of yourself in a bathing suit on the internet - ok or not? Yes, it's okay????? If you're talking about me personally though, you won't see me dead in a bathing suit picture. Do you typically laugh when somebody falls down? No, I gasp and see if they're okay. What is the most disturbing movie you’ve ever watched? Paranormal Entity. The ending is... a lot. Your opinion of Katy Perry, please? I like a couple of her songs. If you could say anything to your Mom right now… what would it be? "Thank you for absolutely everything."

Rating Some of my Old Fics out of 10

This morning I spent some time cleaning up my ao3 so I can share Preserve or Raze with some people from work without simultaneously linking them to all the goddamn porn I've written. This means that now, the majority of my non-porny works are under the ao3 username Mapping_Atlas (formerly DumpsterDiving101), and the porny works are under the username WhiteCeilings. Preserve or Raze is under both, but shhhh, we're pretending that WhiteCeilings is a different person who is just a co-creator, m'kay?

Anyways, this means that I was looking through some of my old fics, which I shall now rate here. I'm only going to be rating some of them, but feel free to go to one or both of my ao3 accounts and snoop to your heart's content if you want to learn more about my other works. Heads up, the vast majority are Marvel fics, with a couple Phanfics thrown in there too.

Let's get started.

Should've Said No-- 3.5k words, Peter Parker/Tony Stark

This fic is dedicated to anyone and everyone who has ever commented on Preserve or Raze telling me that I write trauma too well and that they hope I'm getting the help I need. Fun fact: I dissociated so many writing this that it took double the amount of time it should've. 10/10.

Room for Three-- 17.5k words, Maria Hill/Natasha Romanoff/Bucky Barnes

This fic is one of my absolute most underrated ones, and is cute as fuck. Post!Winter Soldier these three are hiding out together from the Avengers, while Hill tries to rebuild SHIELD from the ground up. In the end, they go and meet the family, which is extra spicy bc polyamory. So fucking cute. 20/10 read it.

Two Blind Men Steering A Ship-- 8k, Pres-serum Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes

I think this takes place while Bucky is still the Winter Soldier, and him and Steve are... cell mates? I only know that from the summary. 2/10 I literally have no recollection of writing this.

Commanding Nature (WhiteCeilings)-- 2k, Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes

This is literally the most cursed thing I've ever written. I wrote it in one go, no editing, at 8pm at night, and published it right away because I knew I wouldn't publish it if I let myself think about it even a little. It's crack, but done with a little too much intention. My friends only know it as the Plant Fic. I have met people irl who I gave the link to, who no longer speak to me. This fic is more popular than fics I have spent full years on. This fic gave people existential crises.

Oh, the summary? Steve fucking plants Bucky. You know. Like a garden. Bucky turns into a garden. It starts out sexual, but it doesn't stay that way for long. This fic has fucking groupies. -100/10 I have never loved something or hated something so much. Don't read this, BUT you should 100% read the comments, they're insane.

Rumlow Doesn't Care (And Other Lies He Tells Himself)-- 20k, Brock Rumlow/Bucky Barnes

I castrated Rumlow in this fic. Brock Rumlow is one of the main Captain America villains. And I. Fucking wrote an abo fic where he was chemically castrated. You can't make this shit up. 10/10 Rumlow deserved it.

The 12 Labors Of Steve Rogers-- 31k, Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes

My first story with any Greek Mythology elements. Basically Steve Rogers is Hercules and is completing his 12 labors when he meets Hades (Bucky) and slowly starts to realize that the Olympians he so desperately wanted to be a part of were shitty and abusive. Now that I look back on this, I realize it was probably inspired by my religious trauma. Also, Peter Parker is in this as a slutty river spirit. 50/10 I think people who like Preserve or Raze should read this.

Not Your Lover-- 5k, Natasha Romanoff/Laura Barton

Guys, this right here is the shit. I forgot I wrote this but honestly it's one of my favorite things I've ever written. It's a recovery fic where teen!Natasha goes and lives with Clint and his family on their farm after escaping the Red Room, and she works to create a new identity not rooted in violence. This shit'll make you cry. 500/10 The Black Widow movie would've been better if I wrote it.

But Love Is Overrated Anyways-- 41k, Dan Howell/Phil Lester

Mutants AU that probably makes me out to be anti-vax, but that wasn't my intention (pls get vaccinated guys). Mutants and humans coexist, until a mysterious new "disease" comes out and everyone gets vaccinated for it. Except there is no disease, and the vaccine is actually a ploy meant to target and kill mutants. Dan and Phil are both mutants who didn't end up getting the vaccine out of laziness, who meet up post-genocide/apocalypse. Dan has ice powers and Phil has fire powers; Dan wants to massacre humans and Phil wants to show them toleration and kindness. Dan wins in the end. A delicious little love/corruption fic. 10/10 I might turn this into a real novel some day.

Yellow Roses-- 14.5k, Dan Howell/Phil Lester

Dan leaves his rich socialite wife for a sexy male florist. 10/10 relatable.

We want the hot Marvel takes. 😉

Here are a few.

Loki is TOTALLY FUCKING OVERRATED GIMME A FUCKING BREAK.

Thor was pretty meh until Ragnarok let Hemsworth actually shine.

Civil War was an Avengers movie and we are owed a 3rd Cap movie.

Tony got off WAY TOO EASY in Civil War and somehow nobody addresses the fact Ultron and Sokovia was all his fault. ( I adore Tony so this isn't me hating him because I love Cap. I know there's other shit but still)

In Infinity War they should have nuked Vision so fucking fast. Sorry Wanda we'll find/make someone else for you to fuck this is the entire universe we're talking about also uh vision kinda sucks.

And ok blah blah they had another movie to make blah whatever but still should have been done. Give me a fucking break Steve "We don't trade lives" Rogers. How many Wakandans died trying to give (absolutely perfect in every way) Shuri time to get the stone out????? Huh? HUH??????
