#aint no grave

[cloudinterlude]

There's a certain tone that bleeds into a lot of MCU fanfiction when talking about Steve's defrosting into the new century and it's bothersome. It's like people don't fully understand why he didn't have to be grateful for being in modern times. There's a serious lack of empathy and it always ends up with some other character ranting to Steve about how he needs to suck it up and move on if he wants to get anywhere in life and somehow that motivates Steve to...realize he was the only one being an asshole and learning to love the current world?

Yeah no.

I've read one (1) - and isn't to say other stories I like got it wrong bc I've certainly read others that are also great - but I've read ONE fanfiction that describes Steve's situation perfectly (in such a meaningful way) and it literally blew my mind when I read it because it was so good to ME.

"Ain't no Grave" by spitandvinegar was amazing. Mind you, I'm not a really Stucky shipper in any capacity (like I see the vision but don't feel it yknow?), but I'm a sucker for satisfying Steve characterization so I inhaled this fic. And y'all...this author did his character justice. It's not even a Steve-centric story! Which made me even more amazed (that the author got him so right) and even more annoyed (that so many people get him so wrong and end up bashing him). I quote the paragraph below but I urge you to read the fic if you're interested!

Like listen, listen. Imagine you live in this country, right? And there's a brutal war, and you witness and maybe participate in a horrific amount of violence, and you lose absolutely everyone you care about. Then you end up in this other country, where the culture and ways of doing things are completely foreign to you, and random assholes make fun of you for how you dress and act and talk while you're still coming to grips with the fact that everyone you love is gone and you can never go home again. Meanwhile, everyone around you is like "smile, motherfucker, you're in the Land of Plenty now, where there's a Starbucks on every corner and 500 channels on TV. You should be grateful! Why aren't you acting more grateful?" So you have to pretend to be grateful while you're dying inside. Sound like an traumatized, orphaned refugee? Also sounds like Steve fucking Rogers, Captain Goddamn America. Except that most refugees were part of a community of other people who were going through the same thing. Steve is all alone, the last damn unicorn, if the last unicorn had horrible screaming nightmares about the time when it helped to liberate Buchenwald.

AMAZING RIGHT? It was very satisfying to read the first time around. Even more satisfying that this was coming from Sam's POV which was just a lovely decision.

Anyways!

This little rant isn't even coming from a place of superiority. I know characterization can be difficult, and it's not so much about the quality rather than the fundamental misunderstanding of Steve's character that makes it obvious that either the author doesn't care enough to try to empathize with him, 2) They're using Steve to prop up some other character or 3) They watched his trilogy with their eyes closed and called it a day.

This post has gotten too long so thats all I'll say for now!

Stuck in Osi and The Jupiter's new album for quite some time now.

Go for this amazing artist if you are into Nordic vibes, haunted forests or amazing guitar work; dark blues, low country and melancholic atmospheres; or "death is just around the corner but I don't care" type of feeling; if you like a beautiful aching voice with fascinating melodies.

Chapter 22 of Aint No Grave is finally up! A new Character has entered the chat!

Title Summery:

"Was he alive? Or did you defile his corpse to strike terror into our hearts?" "No, no! A thousand times no! I am an officer and a gentleman, but above all, I'm a child of God. I could never inflict such horror on the body of a man alive or dead. But I did not commit these terrible deeds. Only a demon could enact the scenario you've recounted." "A demon, you say?" "Yes, a monster of pure evil." "Then renounce it. Cast it out! Confess your crimes before God and salvation will be yours!"

After Castiel emergency transports the Winchester's to "the recent past" they are stopped by non other than Major Benjamin Tallmadge and Caleb Brewster of the Continental Army, and taken back to camp. When Dean's daughter notices the signs of demon activity in a correspondence from Anna Strong in Setauket, who mentions a British Officer with "black eyes," the Winchester's agree to help Ben and Caleb vanquish the demon in Setauket before returning to their own time. Eventual smut! A Supernatural/Turn Washington's Spies AU.

Okay y’all know those reddit posts where the husband forces the wife into opening the marriage because he wants a free pass to cheat and she’s forced to say yes because the option is that or divorce? And then the husband legitimately expects the wife to just stay home and not do anything while he’s having fun because she loves him. And then eventually she decides if the relationship is open then she should probably find someone too, and then the husband is all shocked pikachu face about it and wants to close the relationship back up because “it’s different because Im sleeping with different women I don’t care about, and you’ve got an entire boyfriend so it’s cheating D<“

Meanwhile the boyfriend is a cinnamon roll who is totally trying to finesse the wife out from underneath the husband because she deserves better??? That he’d happily be committed to her and only her if she leaves him?

1) that shit butters my biscuit on so many levels

2) that concept, with Graves x Reader as the married couple with König as the boyfriend lmfao

#it came to me in a fever dream #graves x reader #konig x reader #könig x reader #cod x reader #I know cheating aint a popular trope in fanfiction but listen we can get behind this one concept #and yes it is cheating lmao leveraging the marriage to get a yes puts the yes under duress #it also had to be graves because he’s easy to dunk on and he’d totally be the type to do it

Hearing Ghost say 'COMPRENDE????' and 'A HUEVO!' In the most hazardous, immaculate, unsoiled, impeccable, Britishest accented way possible known to man is a life-changing experience that I'll never get to experience for the first time ever again.

#Everyone is talking about the A huevo but aint nobody talking about the 'COMPRENDE????' #If ya'll wondering it's in the killing Graves mission when Ghost was explaining stuff inside the van #call of duty #call of duty modern warfare #cod mw #cod #simon ghost riley #cod mw22 #call of duty modern warfare 2022 #sleepy's thoughts

considering how desensitized duck seems to be to his own pain imagine him using it against the other two. like imagine red guy telling him its his day to wash the plates, so he grabs a knife and stabs himself for literally no reason. “oh no! would you look at that! guess i cant do dishes today. now would you be a dear and fetch me a towel 🥺” and eventually its such a common occurrence red guy either doesnt bother asking anymore, or just lets him whine and bleed out.

i just like coming up with a thousand different scenarios for how duck gets out of helping with the dishes. i know there probably isnt a reason for him not helping, i just like to think of silly reasons why he wouldnt. i just think hed be a huge neat freak but fucking hate the dishes specifically. cuz he has autism. and hes just like me fr

#if you asked him to wash the dishes hed spend his time digging up his old grave cuz he aint having it #dhmis #dhmis fandom #dhmis duck #duck guy #duck dhmis #dont hug me im scared #dont hug me im shit posting #dhmis tv show #dhmis tv series

Spitandvinegar's (ao3) description of Steve being more like a sad traumatized refugee than the standard war torn soldier at Sam's VA is so, so good. I actually want to just inject their Steve characterization right into my bloodstream. The whole paragraph was unlike anything I've read about Steve. They do everything right with this story holy shit.

#i dont even ship stucky but everyone in this story is written TOO well #i couldn't resist #steve rogers #steve my beloved #everything special #aint no grave #re-reading this just to feel something #this author and thegraytigress have my favorite Steve characterizations ever #ao3 fanfic #ao3

You know for a split second my ass was focused on drooling over Minhyeok's Older Brother-

But then like watching his Older Brother ask about MC is:

1. Very F-ing cute

2. Just made me realize how awkward this would be if I was Minhyeok and my BFF was sent to Hell and in life and death situations and I was helping by shipping Bottles of My Cum to them so they could survive.

I mean like how do you even go about explaining that? I'd prolly not be able to make eye contact with my siblings while coming up with a lie and stuff LOL

#what in hell is bad #whb #what in hell is bad mc #what in hell is bad screenshot #what in hell is bad minhyeok #whb mc #whb minhyeok #He's got a fine ass older brother #But like no I can feel Minhyeok's worry for MC and silent shame #This is one of those 'Go to the grave' secrets to keep from siblings #because if you tell 90% the sibling aint gonna let you forget #Or at least my siblings wouldnt lol

Ms Graves would really go up to her 12 year old son tell him his father is a complete non-entity and name him the man of the house and not even feel bad

Being in fandoms where the characters are clearly based on other pieces of media/famous figures is so much fun because then some of my ships look like this:

Parentified Goldilocks who is also The Beast x Avoidance attachment Beauty who is ALSO also The Beast, one of my fav moments with them is when they off the Minotaur together who is ALSO also also The Beast

Little Red Riding Hood if she was also the Wolf and has galloons of repressed trauma x Snow White but she’s heavily knight coded and the poster child of daddy issues

Edgar Allen Poe’s Lenore x Annabel Lee but they’re in gay ghost love

The poem ‘The Last Rose of Summer’ x Odin’s raven Huginn but they’re exes still in love in a milf yuri divorce that ends super mega tragically and domino effects mommy issues out the ass

Historical figures Cleopatra x Frida Kahlo with the most chef’s kiss height difference you’ve ever seen

A polycule with Joan of Arc x Mulan x Thor x Achilles but they’re all genderbent/trans

The Velveteen Rabbit x fashion icon Coco Chanel if she was a lesbian with a gun

Frankenstein’s monster x a different sapphic Cleopatra bc baby gays <3333

Okay okay that black cat from Poe’s, well, The Black Cat x Poe’s Eulalie is cute yes

But I actually really REALLY love Poe’s Eulalie x Poe’s Berenice bc they’re “me and the bad bitch I pulled by being autistic” personified

The Snow Queen with mega daddy issues x Robin Hood if he was a socialist lesbian I SAIDDDD ITTTT

Imma say it historical figures JFK x Confucius were adorable bros

Aesop’s Fisherman x Odin’s other bird Munin you will always be famous my tragic old man yaoi <////3

Y’all will really have to hear me out here when I say Cinderella if she fucken snapped x ice cream Mad Hatter because couples who are terrible to each other but in a “only I’m allowed to be a horrid to them” way can be so funny

And I could go o n fer ages but the point is imagine explaining these ships to someone like 30 years ago with ZERO context their heads would explode and it’d be so funny

#most of these are rwby ships and imma be so real i couldve made an even longer list with just rwby ships alone #‘it aint much but its honest work’ -me being a multishipper #OKAY TIME TO TAG ALL THESE SHIPS. WELL THEN. man. really dug my own grave here #bumbleby #whiterose #white raven #rosebird #i like how theres a little pattern between these shipnames okay #super mega cursed idea is weiss x raven also being called white raven THROWINGGG UPPPP but also yeah that would be funny #one white raven i adore with my whole heart and then another white raven i would torch #kahlopatra #jnpr berries #i will NOT be listing each individual ship involved in that polycule holy shit #‘jaune we love you just as much as we loved pyrrha’ while in front of Pyrrha’s memorial??? like okay yeah sure gods GODS these kids #crosshares #clankie #shit hold on lemme look up these shipnames fer nevermore i only know white raven off the top of my head #okay uhhh we’ll go with spells and space bc incorrect nevermore said so and thats good enougg fer me #spells and space #boston magic #schneewood forest #<— one of my FAVES yall my reconnecting exes au fer Robyn n Winter is so <33333 #jkfucius #fairgame #spicecream #i wont tag each person bc tag limit but oh my god if anyone read these tags mwuah mwuah #rwby #nevermore webtoon #clone high #monster high
