I'm relistening to Old Gods of Appalachia and I realized something I hadn't thought of before. In Episode 0.5, Horned Head says Daughter Dooley has "kinship with this land." I always thought that just referred to how she shepherds it and lives off it and nourishes it.

BUT I just realized today that parts of Ireland used to be part of the same mountain range as the Appalachians. So there's also a kinship there. I'm only just now entering the Old Gods online discourse so no idea if this has been brought up before.

Happiest of birthdays to my amazing jie-jie (big sister) @wonderlandleighleigh 🥳

I couldn't ask for a better friend or a more supportive sister. You're not afraid to tell me when I'm being dumb or offer kind words when my strength is low. I'll always be grateful for your presence in my life.

Zhufu ni, jie-jie 🫂💜

Censorship will not solve a single problem. Putting ban and restrictions on AO3 will drive creators away. You won’t be making your platform look appealing to outsiders. You’re destroying your own platform by driving the majority of your creators away.

The exact same thing happened to fanfiction.net and Tumblr. So many people quit. AO3 is one of the very few platforms creators have.
Censorship does not solve any problem. It does harm to creators.

Liking this doesn’t help either. Reblog so more people can see

Anonymous asked:

Prompt: you and your best friend are now employees of S.H.I.E.L.D. (in whatever capacity/position you want)and are meeting the Avengers team for the first time. How do the introductions go?

(Not so much SHIELD. Close, though. Written for @songofthephoenix ‘s amusment)

“…Your new UN reps,” Secretary Ross says, looking incredibly unhappy. “Miss Kaelyn Rose and Miss Jenna Weiss.” 

Jenna smiles politely at the assembled group of heroes. They look wary. Not at all like they’re okay with the UN breathing down their nose, but they have no choice. If they want any amount of autonomy from the UN, they have to play ball a little.

Meaning letting two of the UN’s brightest advise on missions. 

“Very nice to meet both of you,” Tony Stark says, shaking their hands, each in turn. “Good to have you on board. Why don’t we start with a tour of the compound, and then we can talk business. And lunch. I’ve had it catered. I took the liberty of looking up your allergies, so I know that Miss Rose can’t do mushrooms, and Miss Weiss can’t handle pineapple.” 

Jenna smiles politely again, and nods. “Thank you.” A quick glance at Kaelyn, who is watching Stark with a thin, red eyebrow lifted high up, and she knows exactly what her best friend is thinking.

“Follow me.” 

They do, and Jenna steers closer to Kaelyn. “Stop that.” 

“I’m just saying. Stark talks too much. I should have brought the ball gag,” Kaelyn whispers. “I’ve heard stories, he’d probably like it.” 

“We’re working,” Jenna reminds her. 

Kaelyn smirks. “Work hard, play hard. Stop acting like you’re not wondering how soft Captain America’s bed sheets are.” 

Jenna huffs, but doesn’t respond, because Kaelyn is absolutely right.

My jie-jie got this prompt and her response fic is glorious

So let me be very clear: I don’t care if this gets undone next year, next month, next week. I know it’s clickbait disguised as storytelling. I am not angry because omg how dare you ruin Steve Rogers forever. I am angry because how dare you use eleven million deaths as clickbait. I am angry because Steve Rogers’s Jewish creators literally fought in a war against the organization Marvel has made him a part of to grab headlines. I am angry because the very real pain of the Jewish community has been dismissed since this news leaked on Tuesday night as “Twitter outrage.” […] How little must we matter. The people who created Captain America, and Superman, and countless other heroes like them. The people who need him. The people whose history and suffering and hope, as we stood on the brink of annihilation, gave you your weekly entertainment and your fun thought experiment, 75 years later. I hope it was worth it, Marvel.

Prior knowledge strongly influences your perception of reality. This optical illusion went viral because people lost their minds trying to find what’s hiding in the brick wall. Once you’ve seen it, your brain will never let you unsee it.

If you’re super impatient, or a cheater, you can find the answer here. But I’m telling you, once you know, it’s so obvious that you can see it from across the room. 

Here’s another one to drive you crazy… WHAT DO YOU SEE??

Hint: Woody Harrelson + Keifer Sutherland movie…

Ok FINE. HERE’S THE ANSWER, CHEATERS.

I may be having a psychotic break... Jury is still out on this one.

She’d never been undressed by words alone before…She couldn’t fathom how a stranger could make her feel so, at home… He intrigued her… In the absence of touch, smell, or sight… He became the most vivid part of her imagination… He made her feel, understood… And in a way she never knew she longed for… His voice arrested her, and she trusted his direction… She knew he could handle being in control… and she’d been waiting for that.
