#MY TWO FAVORITE THINGS

Happy Solstice, Shana! more Lady Mo or something else genderbendy?
Tony's spent her whole life proving she was good enough to make it in a man's world. Her own father had written her off as a debutante, but he'd let her spend time in his workshop and look over the papers spread over his desk, on his lap or a safe distance away from all the sparks. He probably thought she liked the pictures and the lights.
She builds an engine when she's six years old, her dress torn and stained with grease and and burning with pride as she grins up at her father.
It's the first time Howard ever sees her and, she thinks, when he stops loving her.
Existing in a man's world is different than being a man. She's not allowed to forget, to indulge, she can't ever be anything else any other way than a performance.
Her whole life is a performance, so maybe there's no real difference.
She can wear broad silhouettes and make sure no one calls her Antonia and keep her hair in it's iconic pixie cut have her employees call her sir - ma'am was her mother, she says with a laugh, and god knows she took more after daddy dearest - and she spends so much of her time having dick measuring contests with generals and business rivals and every man that thinks he can put his hands on her that sometimes it's a shock to remember she doesn't have one of her own.
It's not that she doesn't like being a girl, that she doesn't get a thrill out of outrageous dresses and all her soft curves, that she doesn't like at least seeing something of her mother in her mouth and her nose.
It's just that she thinks that she could be something more. That she is something more.
But that sort of things belong to someone who doesn't have her life, her job and her responsibilities and the eyes of the world watching her every move.
~
She doesn't even think about the fact that the armor is a man, narrow hips and broad shoulders and nothing feminine about his cold curves of metal, until Pepper sees it.
Pepper is quiet after, pressing ice to her bruises as she sits by Tony's hips. Her eyes stray to the arc reactor, a diamond of light glowing between her breasts. A circle would have been a more solid matrix but would have required her to get a mastectomy to make it fit.
She's thought about having a smooth chest before, but in the moment when it was an option that she could reasonably provide to the public - a medical device, for her health - she'd balked, and lost a day to redesign to make it something less, something that would fit and not require her to change to too much.
It had felt like a metaphor, or a sermon, as she'd beat sheets of metal until she bled.
Pepper asks, "Is it to protect your identity? So they don't think it's you?"
Tony stares, caught off guard, her mouth open in answer that she hesitates to give because she knows it's a lie. She doesn't like lying to Pepper.
She softens. "Or is it the opposite?"
Tony is sore and exhausted and Obie is acting strangely and Rhodey isn't talking to her (he calls her and he'll call again and again until she picks up, but he won't say a word, will just listen to her breathe to make sure she still is and then hang up like a fucking a coward) and she just killed sort of a lot of people and her weapons are where they shouldn't be and every defense she's built up around this question feels like it's crumbling around her.
"Pepper," she says, then can't bring herself to say anything else.
She doesn't want to lie to her.
"I like the paint job," Pepper says, hand soft where it's gripping her shoulder. Tony hasn't had soft hands since her father loved her.
"I like red," Tony says and Pepper's cheeks turn the same color as her hair.

THG characters and the ttpd songs i think would be their favorites only based on vibes and delusion
katniss (specially mockingjay katniss) would love i can do it with a broken heart. also the black dog really gives me katniss vibes. (the manuscript too, but that is because i really think katniss became a writer after the rebellion).
peeta's favorite songs would be fresh out the slammer and loml, but post-mockingjay peeta would find comfort in who's afraid of little old me?. pre-catching fire peeta would associate the bolter with his relationship with katniss
johanna would love who's afraid of little old me?. i think that after everything she's been through, she craves human connection, but her guard is up and she knows really well many people are scared of her.
as someone who also had to live with the dark side of fame, i think finnick would love clara bow. also he would love the tortured poets department (song) as he used to write poetry.
sejanus' favorite song would be i can fix him (no really i can) because he would relate after everything that happened with coryo.
lucy gray would also love the tortured poets department. she considers herself more as a singer than a poet, but writing songs was a way for her to cope. also my boy only breaks his favorite toys for obvious reasons.
coryo's favorite song would be guilty as sin?

YOU GUYS. You. Guys. @flowerparrish made a podfic of my fic Bucky, Lemme Smash!! I don’t even know what all to say because I’m still a little in awe. Perry is like podder royalty and I feel like a just got knighted by zer majesty. (I’m a woman but being knighted is way cooler, let me have this)
Summary: Clint gets turned purple. It's not a big deal. Except it only happens occasionally. And it's always when he's thirsting after Bucky.
Or - The Story of how Clint's magical purple dick leads him to love. Well, sort of.
He’s a vibrant, royal purple. So his dick? It looks like the eggplant emoji and jerking it off in his purple hands is kind of fucking magical.
Here’s the link to the written fic if you’re not a podfic fan but seriously, hearing Perry read it is fucking GOLD. I blushed. A LOT.

"I am not here to test you, Izzy Hands. I just need somewhere safe to rest a while."
[id: Digital sketch of Izzy and Roach from OFMD. Izzy, a priest, is sat down on the floor, looking up at Roach. Roach, a vampire, is bandaging Izzy's hand up after feeding on it. Roach's expression is concentrated and Izzy is looking up to him in a sort of quiet awe. /end id]
Time to spam @captain-athos it seems, I'm so sorry.
ANYWAY HAPPY 50 RIZZY FICS I LOVE YOU!!!
Go read the prayer on my lips is the name of a man on which this sketch is based on \o/

Why do these photos give me slight “1930’s depression era shirtless farmer” vibes? Except, angry shouting blood covered shirtless 1930’s depression era farmer?
I think it’s the black and white photo and the hair.
Also - his eyes are possessed in the color pic. 👹
God I love both of these pictures so much. Short hair Per just does something to me. I get the 1930's vibes. It's definitely the hair, slicked back, still al little long. He also has this sort of "I've seen some shit" vibe that a 1930's farmer would definitely have. The second pic really gets me. He looks so MEAN. I want him to look at me like that. I'd kneel so fast, promise.

I just woke up and had a thought about a Pirate AU fic with the 141 boys...
Captain John Price is the captain of the One Force crew. MacTavish, Riley, Garrick, Vargas, Parra are all part of a crew of 140 men. The crew was formed along the years, recruiting people from all around the world.
The life on the One Force is rather peaceful, with only some tensions resurfacing from time to time between the men and a few reluctant crewmates (always lead by Shepherd and Graves).
Until MacTavish finds you in the Captain's cabin one morning, as he enters it without permission. You're alone in the bed, startled, clutching the covers to hide your body that's only covered by a loose linen shirt Price gave you to sleep in. MacTavish's heart skips a beat. You're beautiful.
But who are you? How did Price manage to hide you from the crew all this time? Your last stop was weeks ago. The ship is in the middle of nowhere now.
Price manages to keep the secret for a little longer but slowly, the word spreads. There's a woman on board. Debates begin to take place. The already vendicative men start uniting. Mutiny is not far...
And MacTavish still begs to learn more things about you...
What d'you think? Wanna go on an adventure?
