so there's this thing which I've dubbed academic fiction, where I write a long, precise academic paper, confirming to your citation model of choice and everything, except every single thing in there is made up. anyway if I made a zine that was a pretend-academic journal full of only that would anyone be interested in reading it

At first when I saw Echo in that armour I was like awe how cute, he’s looking just like Fives! I love a Domino twins accidental matching moment!
And then I thought…oh god. He looks just like Fives.
WHY is Echo wearing a nearly identical outfit to the one Fives does when he dies?? Um. Someone protect my boy??? Please?! Because I stg if I have to watch Echo die wearing That outfit in Rex’s arms…

I just have so much love and affection for these characters. So much has happened. There’s so much left to say about them. My brain is overwhelmed by the amount of happiness I’ve gained from watching this silly little show.

Hello. I hope you don't mind I use your askbox to vent, but poeple calling MCU Loki "God of Stories" is really pissing me off. His official title is God Loki and mistagging him only clogs the tag for actual God(dess) of Stories Loki from the comics.
I don't know if poeple mistag because they think it's going to give them more engagement (hello, this is Tumblr, not Twitter or Instagram), but this practice is both extremely annoying and counterproductive. Poeple who use the Enchantricks tags don't want to see Loki/Sylvie content, and Loki/Sylvie shippers have their own tags so mistagging is absolutely useless and only brings negative engagement. Same goes for every characters who get mistagged. Sylvie fans don't call her "Lady Loki", I don't think a single B-15 fan is going to call her Verity in the long term (we all have our HC names for her anyways ^^), etc...
I really wish poeple understood that. I've only seen anti-series fans complain about that, but as a fan of both the series and the comics, when I go to the God of the Stories time, it's to look at pictures of AoA Loki. Mistagging is just like putting a mess on the library shelves, it is lazy and serves no other purpose than annoy the next user.
yes, holy shit, i hate it. i'm genuinely leaving the fandom over this, ditching this blog and making a new one and everything. the only thing that stuff like this does is demoralize people.
our discord server is trying our best to implement a new comic loki tagging system because of this crosstagging problem. not a lot of people are using it yet, but these are the tags we're trying to get people to use in addition to normal comic book tags (it would help a TON if people went back and added these to their old 616)
#the echo of a scream — kid loki (comics only)
#moon queen and magic theatre — god(dess) of stories loki (comics only)
#the magpie who whispers — ikol/agent loki (comics only)
#human lie detector. the best and only friend — verity willis (comics only)

icemav going on a cinema date?
i have thought about this one long and hard and: i don’t know how to write a one-shot about this that is compelling & interesting. But i CAN tell you ice & mav most assuredly DID go see titanic together when it came out 1997, probably as a joke, lots of semi-ironic “it’s a date!”s, and then left the theatre together three hours later overwhelmingly depressed & speechless

Always lowkey simmering a Leverage AU in the back of my head hear me out:
Ted is an ex-insurance investigator who was able to get his son life-saving medical treatment because his first, original Crime Pal Beard was like ‘Ted if your company doesn’t come through with the coverage, we’re doing things my way.’
The company did not come through. The company did let him go due to suspicion of Ted’s involvement in the incident, but Ted will happily remind folks that no charges were formally pressed. Henry is alive and healthy and living with Michelle, who divorced Ted shortly thereafter (not just because of pre-existing marital problems, but because Ted wouldn’t tell her anything about why the doctors “””suddenly decided to do the procedure for free”””). Shortly thereafter, Ted fled the country.
What Ted learned from the whole experience is that there’s a lot of people out there, good people just trying to live by the rules, but sometimes things happen that are just out of their control. And well- if we’ve got the means to help the good people out when no one else will, then shouldn’t we try?
“We’ve got means,” Beard agrees. “And motives.”
They do things Beard’s way now.

I want to know about Farmer's grief, that sounds like something that will destroy me 👀
Thanks for asking! This is for @sweetshire too.
This one is an epistolary fic of Faramir after Éowyn's death. Here's a little bit of what I've written so far:
But it is easier, perhaps, to speak of grief in words that draw a line between my heart and my mind. It is less easy to speak of this pain that gnaws at me each time I think of the lilt of her voice or the shape of her hand fitted in mine, to give voice to the hollowness that fills my chest in the long nights without her.
I have lost that which was dearest to me, and I must now live without her, though it seems impossible—an insurmountable mountain that my feet can find no path with which to scale it.
There is the grief of a mother lost before one has even a bare conception of grief, and the grief of a brother dearly loved slain in battle, and the grief of a father given over to madness and succumbed to it.
But the grief of a spouse, the loss of one whom I chose to spend the rest of my days with, or as many were allotted to her, is another grief.
But I write again of the thoughts of the mind, drawing away from the heart of the matter, so that I do not have to open my heart to the grief that stands at its gate.
