Fake variant cover from earlier this year!
[ID:
Fake comic book cover for marvel’s daredevil. The background is dark with off white rings emerging from the center. Daredevil is in his all red suit, he’s in a dynamic pose with one arm above his head. In both hands he’s holding his batons with the ribbons, which are flowing around the illustration.]
living with identities
that do not belong to me
Anyway *creatures your Grian*
I can never decide on one bird coloration for Grian so I did three. Height comparison next to freaky Jimmy for fun
today at goodwill i found a kirk/spock au where kirk is a lowly redshirt
Okay no but this book.
Do you know how fucking long I hunted for a copy of the first edition of this book? I can’t remember the specifics, it’s been ages since I read it, but in the first edition it had some line that was basically confirming Kirk/Spock that was removed after the first printing.
oh my god are you telling me i found a piece of fandom history and i had no idea
I AM BACK AT GOODWILL AND IT’S STILL HERE AND IT’S A FIRST EDITION WITH GAY STUFF???? IT’S A DOLLAR?????? I’M
it starts out with wholesome hand-holding and boyfriends worrying about each other
they’re in an au now and kirk is an angry ensign with a drug problem
“being the top felt weird and wrong”
SOMETHING STIRRED INSIDE HIM
no matter the universe kirk can’t keep his shirt intact
THIS IS WHERE SHIT GETS REAL Y’ALL I CAN’T
THE MIND MELD IS BARELY EVEN A METAPHOR
KIRK WAS ASKING FOR IT
aaaaaaaaaaah
this is the best dollar i have ever spent and yes that includes bearllionaire
I’d heard about this as some sort of fandom urban legend - everyone heard about it, no one seemed to have hard copy. Nobody was sure if it was some unpublished fanfic, a first draft, vanity press, whatever.
And it’s real.
No one had a copy because Gene Roddenberry found out about the romantic undertones and forced Pocket Books to recall the first edition so that it could be drastically revised.
Read about it at fanlore.

I made pngs with stuff from the new comic I thought people could use, free to use if you want but a like/reblog is appreciated!

it’s defrosting
I hope it's okay but I added a little to it!
[ID: a meme where the above image has been edited into a baking dish, which is being put into the fridge. It’s captioned “I don’t know who needs to hear this but it’s almost time to move the ‘Almost Christmas’ meme to the fridge”. End ID.]
hey guys I know I haven’t been here in like, ever, but!!!!
I got all As first semester (wahoo!)
I have been binge-reading the Dresden files after picking them back up, and I just finished Changes (the 12th book?? How many of these things are there?) they’re so good and you need to read them and become as obsessed with Harry Dresden as I am!!! This man is so noble and so autistic and honestly hot I would totally date him if A he wasn’t fictional and B everyone he knows and loves didn’t keep dying (also the magic system in the books is PEAK and I kind of want to write other characters in this universe. Crossover time?)
My yearly obsession with Dr. Horrible is back!!!! As soon as I have free time I’m just going to go back to staring at the ceiling and thinking about this musical tragicomedy thingy from 2008. I got the soundtrack stuck in my head two days ago, which lead to a rewatch, which lead to brain worms :/
THIRD OMFG uhm team fortress 2 comic #7 is out???? Like, okay :0. I’ll sit down and read it when I have time, prob tomorrow. I really thought we’d never get one, and I was worried Valve wouldn’t wrap things up in a satisfying manner, but based on vague opinions I’ve seen online it’s not bad!
I’m not sure how many fandoms I can be thinking about at once, though. I might explode and die.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, I love you all!
ok but the mental image of scott just screaming his heart out, fully just writhing in agony as he feels the blinding, gut wrenching pain of eyes and vines ripping out of his back and his arms and his very heart, and hating it and wishing it would go away, then having to completely downplay it to the rest of the server as if it’s no big deal..
rargh i might be slightly insane..
