sorry i dropped off the face of the earth
There are a lot of things I could say to fill this space and they’d all be both true and excuses. It’s been nearly a solid year but I think I almost have my medical issues under control, so I can go back to attempting to live a normal-ish, productive-ish life. I’m still filling my MTH auctions (they’ve been so patient with me) and after that I’ll be recreating Steve/Bucky doll shots. I haven’t forgotten about things, and I do consider them important and feel badly that I haven’t been able to deliver in a timely manner, so again I beg for forgiveness and patience concerning my persistent tardiness in everything from bookbinding to replying to comments and all the things in between. Thank you all for understanding, and I hope everyone is safe and doing well. <3

Bucky Doll Update!
Good news! If you live in the US or Canada, you will hopefully be receiving your doll soon! If you live in another country, it may be a bit more tricky, so please continue to have patience. Again, the seller has had to look for alternate carriers due to their country’s restrictions regarding outgoing mail, which is what is causing the delays.
In addition, if you missed out on the preorder (or know someone who did), they have listed the remainder of the Bucky dolls on their Etsy shop for purchase! Keep in mind that the preorder price included free shipping, but now that it is on regular sale, shipping will be charged (and can be a bit steep due to the change in carriers). Please check their storefront to make sure your country is available to mail to before you purchase!
(PS: If you want to share pictures, please tag me so I can reblog you!)
Stay safe! Sable

Would you have any Bucky doll updates? I would like to ask the seller but maybe other people are asking the same thing?
Hey there! Tumblr didn't tell me I had this in my box, so I apologize for the late reply. I was actually about to post an update to say that I received my doll yesterday! It looks like the seller has managed to find a different carrier for, at the very least, the US. I've sent a message asking if they've sent most of the other ones yet, although I suspect they have. I'll post a longer update as soon as I hear back! If anyone else has received theirs, I'd love to know (and see a picture, if you'd like to post one)! In the meantime, I beg for your patience. Even if all of them were sent at roughly the same time, current delays in shipping can make transit times wildly unpredictable. I've personally had packages from the same location ordered on the same day arrive staggered over a course of two weeks, and that was from a place located in my own country. 
Thank you so much for your question and your patience, and I'll update as soon as I hear back!

Will you be selling more Bucky dolls in the future?
Hi! I’m not actually the seller for the dolls. The seller is someone else on Etsy who was kind enough to let me use my enthusiasm to convince them to make the dolls if we could generate enough interest. I can’t speak for their future actions. I do know that, due to global service interruptions in the postal services, shipping to countries outside of most of Asia is not possible for them at this time. (Unless it is sent by EMS, which unfortunately is about as expensive as the dolls themselves.) They are keeping abreast of new information in hopes of sending them out as soon as normal service resumes.
If you want to contact them directly and ask if there are more for purchase, and/or whether shipping is currently available to your country, please go to their Etsy store: https://www.etsy.com/shop/TunaCrafts They’re a lovely person by all accounts, and most people have told me they tend to reply within a few days (excluding national holidays). Cheers!

IF👏THEY👏SAY👏NO👏THEN👏IT'S👏RAPE👏
STOP pretending it's dubcon. There is nothing "dubious" about the word "no."
It’s not that I have anything against non-con or dub-con in fics. It’s a safe space to explore, it’s some peoples’ kink. It’s fine. I assume we’re all adults who understand the difference between fiction and reality and act accordingly. But then sometimes I get all concerned because I’ll read a tag for dubcon and go in and it turns out to be noncon. Like, really non-consensual. And I get that AO3 has a “Choose Not to Warn” tag that’s kind of like a get out of jail free card for that kind of thing, but if you’re going to tag for it anyway, please use the correct one.
Like. I just… worry. Because there’s a lot of stuff that I don’t think people realize they think (or don’t) about what constitutes rape, and especially male rape. And I bet there’s a shit-ton of things that I don’t realize, either. But, please:
If they say ‘no’ but you do anyway, it’s rape.
If they fight back in any way, shape, or form but you do it anyway, it’s rape.
If they ask you not to, even politely, but you do anyway, it’s rape.
It’s still rape if there’s no penetration, by you or of your victim.
It’s still rape if it’s a male and the attacker is the one being penetrated, because–
It’s still rape even if they become aroused.
It’s still rape if they’re asleep and can’t consent (unless it’s pre-negotiated).
It’s rape even if your genitals are not directly involved, or no skin was touching skin.
It’s rape even if they have an orgasm.
It’s rape even if you’re already in a sexual relationship, if they said no.
It’s rape even if they decide to have consensual sex with you later.
It’s rape even if you fall in love.
It’s rape even if ‘you know they want it.’
It’s rape even if they change their minds about some kind of sexual stance they had before, because they had sex. Because they were raped.
Some of these things have been used as arguments against rape victims, both male and female, and I worry that in some cases the things that get said or are left unsaid lead us to think something ‘isn’t really rape.’
Fanfiction is fiction. I know that. I’m just saying that, please, if you’re trying to alert people that your work might have dub- or non-con in it, tag for the thing it really is. Show people that you understand the difference. If you’re tagging because you’re worried about triggering anyone, please respect that the difference between dubcon and noncon can be both small and vast–small in terms of what you’ve differentiated and vast to the person reading it.
Again, this isn’t to shame anyone who writes or reads non-con, or the idea of dub/noncon fics in general. I read them, myself, and have found some really good ones out there. But then sometimes I come across noncon that’s parading (mislabeled) as dubcon, and I just… worry.

Hi there! Tumblr is acting up for some reason so I’ve tried to reply to this like 5 times already. Apologies if you get more than one alert!  If you ordered one from Tuna Crafts via Etsy, that is the one currently delayed. It was a preorder and arrived at the seller in late March (having been ordered in late January, after preorders closed). The current delay is mail-related and may depend on the destination country. Korea Post has restrictions on which types of shipping are available to certain countries, which poses a problem for the seller. From your picture, it looks like you ordered a doll from someone else. I don’t know anything about that one, but if it’s coming from anywhere in Asia, any delivery other than EMS might be impacted. I hope that answers your question (and that this one actully goes through)!
Bucky Updates
Soooo… bad news if you live in some countries: Korea Post is currently suspending standard mail delivery to many countries, including the United States. While EMS delivery is still open, the cost of sending from Korea to the US is about as much as the doll itself–approximately 30USD. The seller has informed me that the postal service returned all parcels addressed to the US. They are keeping an eye on the situation and will send again as soon as standard mail opens back up, and have said that they are incredibly sorry about the delay.
They’ll resend as soon as the service opens back up, but in the meantime please be patient while international postal services struggle to get things under control.
Also, as a general PSA, if you are ordering things from overseas, you may need to check if they have certain mail restrictions (many have priority or expedited shipping only restrictions). Similarly, if you’re sending to someone abroad, many services are either not delivering to specific countries or have limited types of service, as many systems are currently being overwhelmed.
Poor Bucky has poor timing. D: But he’ll get to you one way or another! Thank you to everyone for your patience in these unusual and stressful times, and please stay safe!

I was poking around in my abandoned WIP folder and I found this one (really old) Edwardian/Victorian era AU, and it’s complicated but there’s a scene where Thor doesn’t realize he can just ask for extra jam tarts to take for the road and tries to hide them in his cravat and in his coat sleeves, and Steve catches him, and I feel like past me was a comedic genius.

Bucky doll starts shipment!
Hey guys! Thank you all so much for your patience in recent times. I have some good news, though! BUCKY IS BEING SHIPPED!!! He’s been completed and orders have started going out. The seller apologized for the delay and has cautioned me that due to the virus, shipping to certain countries, including the US, may take upwards of a month. I personally believe that this is more than understandable, as many postal services are being overwhelmed. But be on the lookout for him in the coming weeks! He’s coming hell or high water! If he can thwart death and Nazis, I’m positive Bucky can get through the congested postal service! <3
Thank you all again for your patience and understanding, and for helping us make this all possible! <3
PS: I totally forgot to post that one of the winners of my giveaway received their prize. This was ages ago, and I completely forgot to mention it! I’m glad it arrived safely!

Let’s have a quick talk about Clint Barton. This little shit is an orphan who grew up in the circus and somehow managed to become an avenger. This DEAF motherfucking ARCHER was asked by Tony Stark to be Captain America and he said no. He said NO to becoming Captain America. He finds out some random 20 y/o girl becomes Hawkeye while hes “dead” and what does he do? He tells her the world is big enough for TWO HAWKEYES and they form a team and he tries act as a mentor. They are both Hawkeye. Not Hawkeye and lady-Hawkeye. Just two Hawkeyes. He fights street crime when he’s not on missions. He’s friends with his neighbors. He made an ultron costume for Halloween. When his brother stole all his money and bought an island, he got over it. He rescued and adopted a one eyed dog named lucky/pizza dog. Did I mention he’s deaf? And can’t hear without hearing aids. And he wears his own merchandise. He wears Hawkeye underwear. Hawkeye wears Hawkeye underwear.

Nature vs Nurture
Author: Lukas17 (Lukas Hughes) @ithinkicanwritesometimes
Artist: sirsable ( @sablessx )
Rating: M
Pairing: Steve/Sam/Bucky
Major Archive Warnings: Graphic Depictions of Violence
Summary: On the surface, creating an army of super soldiers seemed smart, and would have meant Hydra could have multiple assassin's at their disposal. But with their resources dwindling the project is canceled, and the results disposed of. One subject, however, was smuggled out. Bucky’s MIA, and the kid will always have a target on his back. It’s not how Steve imagined having a kid but at least in the 21st he can google exactly how to not kill a child.

UPDATE!
The seller has been gracious enough to give me a heads-up of the second sample, which I’ve put beside the first one for comparison. They even sent a video! https://i.imgur.com/yURmxWN.mp4
Unfortunately, production has been slowed down due to the coronavirus, so they can’t say with certainty when Bucky will be finished or shipped out. They’re very apologetic about it, but I know that a lot of stuff being produced and/or shipped out of Asia has been similarly delayed. On the seller’s behalf, I am asking for your patience with the longer-than-expected turnaround time.
I’ll definitely keep everyone up-to-date when I get more info. About the dolls, not the coronavirus. In the meantime, please wash your hands and don’t cough or sneeze on people (or let them cough or sneeze on you). Sleep lots and take your multivitamins and take care of yourselves! (You know Bucky would say the same thing.)
Thank you so much for your understanding!

Calling All Crafters
Hello, everyone! 
I am taking Honors Statistics this semester, and one of the requirements of my course is that I must complete a research project, and analyze the data. After years of teasing from my family, I’ve decided my topic will be to find out how the average crafter really is: a lonely old grandma, a queer millennial, or someone in between? 
To do this, I need to enlist the help of the crafting community here on Tumblr. I need to gather at least 100 responses in order for my data to be usable, so I’ve gone ahead and made a google form right HERE. I would be incredibly grateful to all of you if you take 5-10 minutes to answer this brief survey, and circle it around. 
If I don’t complete this project, I won’t receive my honors denomination. Which is a bummer under normal circumstances, but in this specific case will result in my removal from the honors program (it’s a complicated system that warrants a post on its own.) 
The survey has seven questions, only 4 of which are required. Two of the non-required questions are essay answers, to give you a chance to go more in-depth with your experiences in the crafting community if you would like to do so. it will help me better contextualize the data. If you would prefer not to, however, that’s fine too! 
Thank you for reading, and please help me spread this around so that I can complete my course! All findings will be written up and presented on my blog sometime around the end of May, if you want to check back in to see the results.
