And I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And its rider's name was Fluffy.

This makes me happy for reasons I don't fully understand.

I'm planning on delving deeper into the mines of moria, good idea y/y?

Hello, Anon! I recently came from inspecting the Mines of Moria and can tell you that the mine is closed due to significant safety violations and will not be able to reopen until those issues are addressed. I have included a brief overview of some of the more significant violations that have caused us to come to this conclusion:

30 CFR § 48.5 - Training of new miners; minimum courses of instruction; hours of instruction. 

A significant number of miners were operating without the necessary 40 hours of training before beginning work duties.

30 CRF § 56.15002-56.15005 -  Personal Protection.

There was a severe lack of personal protective equipment including a lack of hard hats, protective footwear, eye protection, and safety belts and lines where there is danger of falling.

30 CFR § 57.17010 - Electric lamps.

Nowhere in Moria were electric lamps provided, nor was there sufficient alternative light source provided. All workers underground need to have individual light sources in order to make sure they are working safely.

 30 CFR § 57.11051 - Escape routes.

Two or more separate, and accessible escapeways are needed for all underground operations, and these escapeways need to be properly maintained and clearly marked. While there were two routes of escape from the mine, they were not easily accessible, clearly marked, or maintained.

The first escape route was blocked by a doorway not visible in daylight and locked by a puzzle in a language that most of the mine operators do not speak.

The second escape route was only accessible by a bridge barely wide enough for workers to cross in single file.

30 CFR § 57.11050 - Escapeways and refuges. 

In the event that an escapeway cannot be accessed within 1 hour of travel, sufficient refuge chambers must be provided within 30 minutes of any working areas.

As it takes a total of 3 days of travel to cross the mine workings, a significant number of refuge areas were needed. Management at Moria failed to provide a sufficient number of well-constructed refuge chambers that would provide sufficient protection against the hazards in the mine workings.

30 CFR § 50.10 - Immediate notification. 

The operator shall immediately contact MSHA at once without delay and within 15 minutes at the toll-free number, 1-800-746-1553, once the  operator knows or should know that an  accident has occurred involving: (a) A death of an individual at the mine; (b) An injury of an individual at the mine which has a reasonable potential to cause death; (c) An entrapment of an individual at the mine which has a reasonable potential to cause death; or (d) Any other accident.

MSHA was not notified within 15 minutes of the first death that occurred in the Mines of Moria, thus putting the operation in significant violation.

30 CFR § 57.11002 - Handrails and toeboards. 

The walkways in Moria were severely lacking in substantial construction, were poorly maintained, and lacked any handrails and toeboards.

30 CFR § 57.4161 - Use of fire underground. 

Fires shall not be lit underground, except for open-flame torches. Torches shall be attended at all times while lit.

Moria was found to be in significant violation of this standard by having an open pit directly to a hell plane, which unleashed its flames, entirely unchecked and unattended, into the mine workings.

I hope this helps you understand the severe safety violations that were present while the Mines of Moria were in operation.

I would strongly urge you to not enter the abandoned mine workings. Remember: Stay Out, Stay Alive. Exploring or playing at active and abandoned mine sites is dangerous, and potentially fatal.

This is Part Four of a four-part series. Like the name implies, it's the whole story of Steve and Bucky, from beginning to the end of the line. This part begins when Steve and Bucky are in Wakanda after the events of The Winter Soldier. Bucky is in cryostasis, and Steve is trying his best to be patient while Shuri figures out how to free Bucky from the Hydra triggers. The story progresses through Infinity War and Endgame, but trust me when I tell you that Steve will NOT be making the inexplicable, asinine decision to leave the man he loves to go back in time. No. This time, the boys will get the happily ever after ending they deserve.

Yes. All of this. Spiders are God's creatures and respect all living things, blah blah blah. The law allows me to shoot a burglar in my house who is threatening me. Spiders are inherently threatening to me. Ergo, you come in my house, you too-many-legs bitch, you're getting sucked up into the vacuum. I don't make the rules.*

*I may have actually made this rule

my stance on spiders is clear: they are all assholes, have no respect for private property, shows no understanding of the concept of personal space, and the numbers of legs they possess is, quite frankly, excessive

_________________

Part 1:

This ambitious project is intended to be a several-part series. Each part will cover an era in Steve and Bucky's lives. (There's an outline, even.) It's meant to be a fairly long story, built around sticking as close to MCU canon as possible. The intention is to create a framework by including canon scenes and dialogue to anchor your place in the MCU movies, while building out the backstory - what happened before, after, and between those scenes. And then to carry the story forward as though Steve's nonsensical decision in Endgame didn't happen (because it didn't - I have spoken) to show Steve and Bucky living happily after after. Tags will be updated as I go. You know the story: you can expect sweetness and fluff, (hopefully) humor, coming of age, romance and sex, pain, adventure, war and horror, Nazis and Hydra, creepy asshole "scientists", and all the usual Avengers suspects. It'll be the story of an inevitable friendship born of mutual admiration when Steve and Bucky are so young they afterwards don't remember ever not being best friends. It will follow that friendship as it deepens through shared history and trauma and grows into the love of a lifetime.

Part 2:

This is part two of a series. Part 1 is called "In the Beginning" and you can link to it by clicking on "Previous Work" above if you'd like to read it first. In this part of the series: Brock Rumlow always wanted to be a good guy like his hero, Bucky Barnes. By the time he finds himself working with recently-returned Captain America, it's way too late. But then he starts to suspect that the viciously effective assassin so dangerous Hydra has to keep him on ice might actually have once been Bucky Barnes. He goes looking for answers. What he learns about both men - and himself - hurts like almighty hell.

_________________

Part 3:

This is Part 3 of a 4-part series. You can read the first two parts by clicking on "Previous Work" above. The first part is called "In The Beginning" and covers the period from Steve and Bucky's meeting at ages 6 and 7, through Bucky's fall from the train. The second part is called "The Miserable Hero, The Guy In The Tank, And Me." It's told from Brock Rumlow's point of view (because Steve is in the ice when it begins, and it covers the period when Bucky is still the Asset). It looks at Brock Rumlow from an entirely new perspective.

________________

Part 4:

WIP This is Part Four of a four-part series. Like the name implies, it's the whole story of Steve and Bucky, from beginning to the end of the line. This part begins when Steve and Bucky are in Wakanda after the events of The Winter Soldier. Bucky is in cryostasis, and Steve is trying his best to be patient while Shuri figures out how to free Bucky from the Hydra triggers.

Long, dense sentences. Translating looks into their meanings. Head-hopping (going from one character's POV to another's). Gratuitous use of the semicolon and em dash. Guilty, your honor.

What is your guilty pleasure as a writer?

Me, without missing a beat: Gratuitous use of italics.

xD At least I'm self aware.

such a huge relief that hillary’s so ahead in the polls and trump has such a small chance of winning, right? WRONG. DO NOT GET APATHETIC OR COMFORTABLE. DO NOT DECIDE YOU DON’T NEED TO VOTE BECAUSE YOU’RE SURE HILLARY WILL WIN. the only way trump can win now is if so many people expected to vote for hillary don’t show up to the polls. because you BETTER believe ALL of his supporters will be at the polls.

brexit passed in the UK because young people grew apathetic because they were sure it wasn’t going to pass. and it did, because old racists and xenophobes showed up in DROVES to vote.

tl;dr: VOTE, PEOPLE. VOTE LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT. IT MIGHT.
