PLS drop the Spit Kink Approved list... pls

Well, if you insist... just keep a few things in mind:

This is solely based on the use of spitting, which I've defined as "with a focus on saliva, which must be expelled from the mouth with intent." Spit as lube does not count, that's something else, and niether does the mere presence of saliva, even if it's mentioned a lot.

I am only referencing the m/m fics in the Spit, Spitting, and Spit Kink tags. (there are actually eight which make the grade) Surely there is spitting in other fics that haven't listed it in the tags, but I am not reading all that.

Total 22 tagged fics; Spit (2), Spitting (4), and Spit Kink (16). A few x reader fics excluded on the basis of not being gay, sue me.

IMPORTANT NOTE: I am not including ratings, archive warnings, or the like for my own convenience - if you look these up to read for yourself, it's at your own discretion.

That said, here is the Certified Spit Fics List

Chronological by Date Updated

An Attempt to Tip the Scales by Borderlinemediocre

“I’m not stopping, babe. And you’re not gonna stop me. Give up.” Charlie says, punctuating his words by spitting on Carlo’s face. Brandon’s lightheaded, and not just from the choking.

Charlie finally, finally lets up and Brandon takes a huge breath in, chest expanding as much as possible. Charlie laughs at him, reaches down to spread his spit around a bit, thumb sliding into Carlo’s mouth.

Woah mama, this one is hot. They only spit once, but oh how economical and effective it is! This, to me, gets it just right irt spitting; it's degrading and intimate and uninhibited.

🔒Calamari by Fresh_penguin

He used his thumb to pull my bottom lip, opening my mouth. He spits into my mouth. Well, not really, drooled might be a better word. I could watch the glob of saliva leave his mouth and slowly make its way to mine. I stuck my tongue out just to make sure it hit.

The only one that was in first person. First instance of spitting into the mouth, which is by far the most common. Not quite as dirty as spitting on someone, but still very hot.

🔒[pkane advisory] With you, I'm badder than I've ever been (let's make the devil smile) by Anonymous

"Open up, babe, got a gift for ya," Patrick grins, thumb on Brendan's chin pulling his slack jaw down, Brendan's brain still too offline to comprehend what's happening, and then Patrick works his jaw and, eyes gleaming, spits the remnants of Brendan's own come, [sic] now thoroughly mixed with Patrick's spit, back into Brendan's mouth. He pats Brendan's cheek. "Swallow, baby girl."

Ah, this one is pretty dirty, but barely any spitting, and it's just cum. Not really for me, but maybe it's for you?

🔒couldn't help it by jesuisgrace

He pulls back out of his space and looks down, a wicked smirk on his face when he peeks back up at TK. He purses his lips - fuck have his lips always been that fucking pretty? - and spits right onto the head of his dick. TK’s moan echoes through the locker room as Patty smears his spit down the length of him. His hand is so fuckin’ big it’s like he can feel him everywhere, long fingers dragging up as he slides his palm around the head.

Oh yeah! Plenty of spit from good ol' tknp, and this one has a link to visual reference of np spitting ... fuck yes.

🔒[mattdrai advisory] The Day Leon Draisaitl Swore Never To Buy Another Apple Product Again by irrelevanttous

At the same time, ignoring the ringing in his ears and static in his vision, he pries Tkachuk’s lips further apart with his thumb. He squishes Tkachuk’s cheeks to hold him open and leans forward again, draping his chest all over Tkachuk’s to pin him in place. Then he spits right into Tkachuk’s open mouth.

Not a lot of spitting here, and only into the mouth, but hey that counts!

🔒I wore his jacket for the longest time by rain_over_coruscant (<3)

Dahlin snorts. “You can give it better than you take it.”

“Fuck,” Auston chokes, spitting out blood-snot onto Dahlin’s socks. Through the tears, he can see Dahlin cringe, and a horrible worm of an idea drops bright and stupid into his brain. Before he can back down, he gathers up more blood and spit in his mouth and spits it at Dahlin’s face. Dahlin lets out the squeal of someone just as squeamish as Auston and shoves him backwards, leaving him stumbling all the way back against the bed, blood still pouring from him.

Woah man, this one is hot. A winner's room fic, and it's the only Rasmus Dahlin/Auston Matthews fic. It's also the only one on this list that mixes spit with blood, makes it extra juicy. Not exactly what I was looking for, but I like what I got anyway.

🔒[penguins petplay advisory] skills competition by cuprun

Kris tightens his grip just a little, using it to tug Sid’s mouth open fully, and then he leans forward, gathering all the saliva he collected to the front of his mouth and spitting it where Sid’s mouth is open and waiting for it.

Petplay is not for me, but who wouldn't appreciate Kris spitting in your mouth?

🔒it would be a sin not to sin by tapedsleeves(pp tiny) for Lurlur

Adam spits on his tongue. Vince writhes harder under him, but he can’t go anywhere. He doesn’t want to, he just has to do something with how that makes him feel. Adam’s fingers dig into Vince’s mouth, his hands held firmly by Adam’s weight. “Swallow.” Adam says, firm.

Again, spitting into the mouth, and that's about it, but still hot and orally fixated.

Conclusion

Undoubtedly these are all hot in their own right, but only two of these really hit the nail on the head for what I was looking for in a "Spit Kink" fic.

That aside, 8 out of 34,101 is a meagre 0.023% ... that is truly slim for Men's Hockey RPF where it is the job of these men to spit! (So it's our job to write about it, amen.)

Don’t Scare me Like That

Pairing: Brandon Carlo x reader

Type: Angst, Fluff

Warnings: Swearing, Brandon being a little shit

Word Count: 855

Summary: Brandon was being reckless on the ice. He was putting himself in positions that were going to get him hurt, and you had no choice but to call him out on it. He didn’t like that very much.

Request: Hi 💛 Can you please write some angst with Brandon Carlo? Maybe getting into a fight before the game where he got hurt and the reader gets scared and they make up? If you’re not comfortable with writing about Brandon’s injury then just any angst with a happy end haha. Thank you (from anon)

~~~~

“I just worry about you, Brandon!” you yelled, tossing your hands up in the air in frustration. “I don’t know what you want me to do! It’s not like I can stay completely silent about it when it’s fucking true.”

“You have never played a game of hockey in your life!” Brandon shot back. “Who are you to make a judgement based on something you have absolutely zero experience doing?”

“I’m your girlfriend! It’s my job to worry about you!” you snapped.

“Well maybe you should stop.”

And those were the last words Brandon spoke to you before slamming the door behind him and leaving.

You stood in the middle of the apartment feeling completely numb. Brandon was never like this. There was something going on with him. You just chalked it up to how the Bruins had been stumbling as of late. They would get their groove back, it was still early enough in the season for this. He was stressed, though. And it caused him to make some dumb decisions.

You tried to push his words out of your mind as you turned on the game. Sean Kuraly had been texting you since Brandon left. He was doing his best to calm you down. It had been working, too. Until you watched Tom Wilson drive Brandon into the boards.

It was a bad hit. You knew it, the team knew it, everybody seemed to know it expect for the refs.

You were left in the dark until the end of the game when you got a call from Bruce Cassidy.

“He’s going to stay overnight,” Bruce was saying. He sounded exhausted, annoyed, a multitude of things. You couldn’t blame him.

“Okay,” you ran your hands over your face. “Thank you for letting me know.”

“Something was up with him before the game,” Bruce said. “Was he weird before he got here?”

“About that,” you searched for the right words. “We got in a little fight. I told him I was worried about the positions he’d been putting himself in lately and he got mad at me.”

“That explains it,” he sighed. “Thanks for letting me know, Y/N. I’ll have someone give you a call when he’s being released.”

“Thanks, Bruce.”

You didn’t get any sleep that night. You tossed and turned, desperately trying to find a comfortable position to no avail. All you managed to do was get yourself even more worked up.

Brandon was used to overnights in hospitals. He had one not too long ago when he broke his leg. But that was different. He had you by his side then. Now, he was stuck in his room alone with nothing but the beeping machines for company.

This sucked.

You had been right. He should have listened to you and been more careful. The call he got from Patrice told him that it wasn’t his fault, but he couldn’t help but blame himself.

The morning rolled around after what felt like an eternity. You got a call from a member of the team training staff telling you Brandon was being discharged. You didn’t even bother getting dressed before throwing on a pair of shoes and sliding out the door in your sweats and hoodie.

“I’m here to pick up Brandon Carlo,” you told the nurse sitting at the front desk of the hospital. She nodded and typed away on her computer.

“He’ll be right down if you’d like to have a seat in the waiting area,” she told you, nodding to the spaced out grouping of chairs behind you. You thanked her and sat down. You picked at your nails as you waited, something Brandon would have scolded you for had he been with you.

“Y/N,” a different nurse called your name, grabbing your attention. You looked up to see Brandon walking towards you, limping slightly. “You’re all set to go on home.”

“I’m sorry,” you and Brandon said at the same time the second you were in your car.

“I’m sorry for getting angry at you and doing exactly what you told me not to do,” Brandon spoke up first. You stayed quiet and let him say what he had to say. “I know I fucked up, I know I scared you. I’m sorry.”

He looked up at you, eyes begging for forgiveness. You smiled at him and placed your hand on his cheek. He closed his eyes and leaned into your touch.

“You don’t need to apologize,” your voice was low. “I was the one that fucked up. I distracted you. And that hit was bullshit, just like Marchy said. None of this is your fault.”

“It’s not your fault either, you know,” Brandon looked up at you with big doe eyes. No wonder his nickname was Bambi.

“Come on, let’s go home,” you started your car and pulled out of the parking lot. “I’m making pancakes.”

“Banana pancakes?” Brandon asked, really using the doe eyes to his advantage.

“Lucky for you I got bananas at the store yesterday,” you smiled over at him as you merged with the light, early morning traffic and headed for home.

For the week of 5 May 2019

Quick Bits:

Age of Conan: Bêlit #3 throws a few road bumps in the way of Bêlit’s plans as the Kushites renege of their deal and her drunken “Captain” continues being a jerk. I’m really liking this exploration of Bêlit’s early days from Tini Howard, Kate Niemczyk, Scott Hanna, Jason Keith, and Travis Lanham.

| Published by Marvel

Archie #704 throws some roadblocks in the way of Archie and Sabrina’s relationship through the form of a “Bachelor”-like charity programme set up by Cheryl. I love the even more stylized pastel colour palette from Matt Herms.

| Published by Archie Comics

Batman & The Outsiders #1 is an entertaining debut from Bryan Hill, Dexter Soy, Veronica Gandini, Clayton Cowles. I’ve not read the arc in Detective Comics that feeds into this, but this first issue provides enough information for new readers now to be lost and gives good incentive to check out what’s come before. Great art from Soy and Gandini, with an interesting look inside a team and a compelling start to a mystery about the last survivor from a metahuman generating factory.

| Published by DC Comics

Bettie Page #4 concludes the QE2 aliens caper. Love the art from Julius Ohta, Ellie Wright, and Sheelagh D.

| Published by Dynamite

Bronze Age Boogie #2 continues the strangest Doom Patrol story as the Martian invasion angle has taken hold in the future and a motley crew of heroes bands together to try to stop them. Stuart Moore, Alberto Ponticelli, Giulia Brusco, and Rob Steen are playing with some interesting cross-media influences to tell a highly entertaining tale. It’s rounded out with the usual goodies in the form of prose, letters, and what’s probably my favourite of the back-up strips so far, Major Ursa, from Tyrone Finch, Mauricet, Lee Loughridge, and Rob Steen.

| Published by Ahoy

Conan the Barbarian #6 sees Jason Aaron, Mahmud Asrar, Matthew Wilson, and Travis Lanham tell a story of Conan’s frustrations as a mercenary in the skirmishes between Turan and Stygia. People constantly underestimating Conan is always a fun story.

| Published by Marvel

Deadly Class #38 sees Marcus and Maria return to King’s Dominion. It’s kind of messed up seeing the new status quo, but at the same time the tension that Rick Remender, Wes Craig, Jordan Boyd, and Rus Wooton build here between to old Legacy kids and Marcus & Maria feels like it’s going to explode, suggesting something even worse for the characters is coming soon. It’s very captivating.

| Published by Image / Giant Generator

Detective Comics #1003 reveals the identity of the Arkham Knight. It’s not really anyone you could have possibly guessed, but an interesting addition to Batman’s rogues gallery. Also the cult surrounding the Arkham Knight is certifiably insane. Gorgeous artwork again from Brad Walker, Andrew Hennessy, and Nathan Fairbairn.

| Published by Marvel

The Empty Man #7 goes full Clive Barker as we get an explanation for what the Empty Man really is and how he continues to manifest himself upon reality. I know I keep saying it, but the body horror brought about in the art from Jesús Hervás and Niko Guardia just can’t be stressed enough. Every issue they seem to outdo themselves with creepy and intriguing designs.

| Published by BOOM! Studios

Eve Stranger #1 looks to be another winner for Black Crown. This first issue sets up the titular character as a secret agent who seems to need to reboot her memory every week. Why, exactly, is left unknown, but that’s part of the fun. David Barnett, Philip Bond, Eva de la Cruz, and Jane Heir do a wonderful job here with the action and intrigue. Also it’s great to see Bond doing more espionage tinged action, his art always looks so great telling these kinds of stories.

| Published by IDW / Black Crown

Excellence #1 is a thoroughly excellent debut from Brandon Thomas, Khary Randolph, Emilio Lopez, and Deron Bennett. The world and character building in this first issue is impeccable and the art from Randolph and Lopez will just blow you away. Incredible development of a magic-based society and the class structure therein.

| Published by Image / Skybound

The Flash #70 begins “Year One” promising new insight and occurrences during Barry’s origin story. Given that the last time this happened his mother was murdered, changing the timeline and resulting down the line in Barry trying to fix it with Flashpoint, anything’s possible. The real draw, though, is the stunning artwork from Howard Porter and Hi-Fi. Porter is really giving this his all and it shines through wonderfully.

| Published by DC Comics

Hawkman #12 brings Bryan Hitch’s tenure on the series to an end with the conclusion to “Cataclysm”. This is an excellent, action-packed final confrontation between the legion of Hawkmen and the Deathbringers, setting up a whole Hawkman for possibly the first time and hints as to worse things waiting on the horizon.

| Published by DC Comics

Infinite Dark #6 amplifies the terror and chaos as the dead-ish things exposed to the void start spreading fear and panic throughout the station. Ryan Cady, Andrea Mutti, K. Michael Russell, and Troy Peteri ratchet up the horror here.

| Published by Image / Top Cow

Invaders #5 raises more questions after we thought some things were coming into focus in the previous issue, as Chip Zdarsky, Carlos Magno, Butch Guice, Alex Guimarães, and Travis Lanham continue “War Ghosts”. The tension here on the brink of all out war between the US and Atlantis is incredible, and there are more interesting twists that suggest something far more sinister occurring.

| Published by Marvel

Jim Henson’s The Storyteller: Sirens #2 features a gorgeous adaptation of the story of Chinese mother goddess, Nuwa, by Chan Chau with letters by Jim Campbell. The artwork is amazingly beautiful supporting a very sweet tale.

| Published by Boom Entertainment / Archaia

Justice League Odyssey #9 opens up an interesting thread that Starfire, Cyborg, and Azrael may be unduly under the influence of Darkseid. Dan Abnett is setting up some simmering conflict between Jessica Cruz and the rest of the team here, along with quite a few occult catchphrases thrown in to help amplify the mood.

| Published by DC Comics

Lodger #5 is the end to this excellent crime drama from the Laphams and it is all kinds of messed up. We learn what really happened to Ricky’s family and...yeah. This has been a strange, at times disturbing, ride and they stuck the landing.

| Published by IDW / Black Crown

Murder Falcon #8 is the epic conclusion to this series as Jake and Murf take on Magnum Khaos. Between this series and Extremity, Daniel Warren Johnson has proven himself time and again as a master storyteller and it shines through with the heartrending end to this story. This one goes up to eleven.

| Published by Image / Skybound

Red Sonja & Vampirella Meet Betty & Veronica #1 is an interesting mash-up of the three properties from Amy Chu, Maria Sanapo, Vinicius Andrade, and Taylor Esposito. Some nice fish out of water humour as Sonja and Vampirella acclimate to Riverdale.

| Published by Dynamite

Savage Sword of Conan #5 concludes “The Cult of Koga Thun” from Gerry Duggan, Ron Garney, Richard Isanove, and Travis Lanham. Some interesting twists in this finale of what has been a highly entertaining adventure.

| Published by Marvel

She Could Fly: The Lost Pilot #2 sees Martín Morazzo cut loose again with some of the designs and presentation for Luna’s dreams and schizophrenic episodes.

| Published by Dark Horse / Berger Books

Star Wars: Age of Rebellion - Boba Fett #1 features some incredibly rich artwork from Marc Laming and Neeraj Menon. Great detail throughout this story spotlighting Boba Fett’s cold, silent amorality.

| Published by Marvel

Star Wars: Doctor Aphra #32 begins “Unspeakable Rebel Superweapon” as Aphra and her young protege steal the titular MacGuffin. There’s some interesting flashbacks to Aphra’s youth and it’s great to see Caspar Wijngaard doing more Star Wars art, even if just the flashbacks.

| Published by Marvel

These Savage Shores #4 is a sumptuous feast. Ram V, Sumit Kumar, Vittorio Astone, and Aditya Bidikar are elevating the artform of comics which each subsequent issue. The epistolary narrative, the horror and mythological themes, the plays upon the nine-panel grid, the shadowy character designs, the lush and spooky colours, the overlap with historical events, the unique approach and detail in each character’s missive...just one of these elements would result in an entertaining tale, this comic mixes all of them into a superlative package. You’re doing yourself a disservice if you’re not reading this series.

| Published by Vault

The Unstoppable Wasp #7 throws Nadia a birthday party, wherein she learns of her relations to what seems like half of the Marvel universe. Also, issues a death threat to Tony Stark. It’s cute, from Jeremy Whitley, Alti Firmansyah, Espen Grundetjern, and Joe Caramagna.

| Published by Marvel

War of the Realms: New Agents of Atlas #1 sets up the conflict in the Pacific with Sindr while introducing a swath of new international characters to the Marvel universe. Also, Amadeus Cho continues to be a massive idiot, even at his shrunken size. Great art from Gang Hyuk Lim and Federico Blee.

| Published by Marvel

Wonder Twins #4 sets up the twins with a pair of dates, allowing for some hilarious misadventures. Also, Polly seems to have a weird obsession with testicular cancer. Mark Russell, Stephen Byrne, and Dave Sharpe continue the fun, even though this one kind of takes us away from all ages material.

| Published by DC Comics / Wonder Comics

Wyrd #3 opens up the messy can of worms of Wyrd’s past further as a figure out of the past he can’t remember emerges for a “meet”. Great tone and atmosphere for this story from Curt Pires, Antonio Fuso, Stefano Simeone, and Micah Myers.

| Published by Dark Horse

X-Force #7 begins “The Counterfeit King” from Ed Brisson, Dylan Burnett, Damian Couceiro, Jesus Aburtov, and Joe Caramagna as past and present threaten to collide. Some nice character development for the team as they wait for Deathlok to do his thing.

| Published by Marvel

Other Highlights: Accell #20, Age of X-Man: Apocalypse & The X-Tracts #3, Battlestar Galactica: Twilight Command #3, Betty & Veronica #5, Black Hammer: Age of Doom #10, By Night #11, Captain America #10, Captain Marvel #5, Catwoman #11, Curse Words #21, Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #6, Gunning for Hits #5, Hack/Slash vs. Chaos #5, Hit Girl: Season Two #4, House of Whispers #9, Ice Cream Man #12, James Bond: Origin #9, The Last Space Race #4, The Long Con #9, Marvels Annotated #3, Oberon #4, Ronin Island #3, Section Zero #2, Shadow Roads #7, Six Days, Spider-Man/Deadpool #50, Star Wars Adventures #21, Supergirl #30, Symbiote Spider-Man #2, The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #44, Unnatural #9, Vindication #4, War of the Realms: Journey Into Mystery #2, Wasted Space #9, Waves, Wonder Woman #70

Masterlist

Requests are always open although I only take them for dialogue prompts unless stated otherwise. I don’t limit my fanfiction to just writing a pair as a couple. I’m open to writing them as just friends/best friends, siblings, etc.

More players and pairings will most likely be added as time goes on. I also don’t plan on removing anyone or any pairing so if they’re already listed, they’re here to stay.

Clicking a name or pairing will take you to that player’s individual masterlist. At the moment that only consists of Kasperi Kapanen, Torey Krug, Tuukka Rask, Tyler Seguin, William Nylander.

eye AF/face detection in video mode works really really really well. Awesome autofocus

Eterna is great. Looks great out of the box. Saves lots of time in post

one of the TOP video cameras

APS-C is his favorite sensor size

lots of video options

the best camera for the price

Check out the full video at The Everyday Dad Youtube

Maarten Heilbron has published his 35:01 minutes Fujifilm X-T3 review.

PROS

he likes the style and usability

Autofocus (also eye and face autofocus)

best in class monochrome, now even better with temperature adjustements

impressive video specs make it best in class

with F-Log up to 12 stops dynamic range and best noise results

rolling shutter not as pronouced as most of its competition

smooth focus in video (speed can be set to taste)

movie silent mode allows to store video/still settings separately

the camera app alerts about new firmware and you can update the camera via remote app

clear and well organized menu, with exception of the setup tab

best APS-C on the market

CONS

no IBIS, but they have very fast lenses

not so smalles and lightes mirrorless camera, X-T20 is better if size/weight is a priority

no articulating screen

swipe touch functions can be activated erroneously

no explicit way to select the subject to track

no in camera focus stacking option

buffer could be better

in super low light, face detection less reliable

4GB file size limit in video (but this will be solved via firmware, as we reported on FR)

_ _ _

Hugh Brownstone’s final Fujiflm X-T3 review is out, and he calls the X-T3 a “Shock to The System”. Check out the full video here, and Pros and Cons below.

PROS

thanks to the dials, the most instinctive camera to use. It delivers the shortest distance between intent and execution

film simulation

dramatically improved face / eye tracking

tracking AF better than Sony A6300/A6500

a leap beyond X-T2 and sets new standards in mirrorless camera

1 or 2 firmware updates away from Canon dual pixel AF performance, but already now superior eye AF

X-T3 changed the playing field and challages the 2 leaders in the mirrorless place, Sony and Panasonic. Also, Canon and Nikon have to move even faster now

CONS

joystick could be placed better and feel better

Fuji must update some of the older lenses

no IBIS (no pixel shift)

FF still superior high ISO and dynamic range, but not sure if Canon EOS R is really better than X-T3

X-H2 with IBIS and X-T3 sensor will appeal to many people

Video AF should be even more tuned via firmware for more smoothness

no flippy screen

What’s Wrong with the Fujifilm X-T3

What’s wrong with Fuji’s X-T3 – guest post by Dean Holland

You see the most flaws in the ones you truly love, and my new love is the Fuji X-T3, the most delightful camera I’ve used in 40 years. After a week of solid abuse, I’m happy to rely on it as the main camera on any shoot.

But it’s not perfect, and I know FujiFilm listens to feedback. So before I buy another one, here are the things I’d love Fuji to think about…

You can’t set anything by feel – you have to gaze upon the camera’s beauty to set everything. And it takes you out of the moment. The dials spin endlessly without hard stops or a different click like you find on the X-Pro2, so you can’t go by touch to set 3 clicks back from the end to hit a favourite setting – you have to look. Function buttons all bring up menus that scroll endlessly – you can’t memorise “one click back from the top” – you have to stare as you adjust. You can’t easily set the focus point to the right side of the screen without looking because it wraps to the left side if you overshoot. You can’t even memorised “three taps” of a button to jump to a menu setting – it’s tap then use a different button to scroll through the menu. All tiny things, but they break your flow, take you out of the moment, and mean that practice won’t make you faster or help you keep eye contact with a model. Photographers’ eyes are our most important asset – please don’t tie them up looking at the camera. A distinctive click on the “A” position of dials would make operation faster and more sensual. Firmware options to stop menus wrapping back to the start and to disable unused menu items would help muscle memory take over and free us up to see.

Face/eye detect is trigger-happy, sometimes locking onto inanimate things that resemble faces, making the camera unusable until you cancel face detect. You should be able to tap, swipe or just swear loudly to override face detection instantly.

Face/eye detect doesn’t let you choose which person in a group to focus on – it picks the person nearest the middle of the frame. It’s infuriating. I frequently have to turn off the amazing face/eye detection just when it should be most useful.

In manual mode, the viewfinder offers three options for displaying image brightness, white balance or neither. But it doesn’t indicate which it’s doing! I flit between these options regularly to mix flash and ambient light… and this sets a trap for my doom. If I now swap from aperture priority to manual without checking the viewfinder mode, I’ve got a 66% chance that the viewfinder will look great even if I’m 5 stops underexposed. So I’ve developed an obsession of changing shutter speed just to check if the viewfinder is responding. It would be simple to fix with a warning sign when exposure is not being simulated.

The live histogram has two personalities – one is accurate and dependable, and the other a lying, treacherous monster. There’s no indication which you’re seeing. It’s a histogram of the viewfinder, not the image, so if the viewfinder isn’t set to simulate exposure, the live histogram is a total fiction. Worse than useless, because you might believe it. Please, Fuji, hide the nasty lying live histogram when the viewfinder is not simulating exposure, or slap a big warning triangle on it. Then we’d know our viewfinder mode too.

AF-C tries to focus at the shooting aperture, so at f/16 continuous focus is slow and unreliable. Not a problem in most situations, but a biggie with flash-lit close shooting in dim light – like social events, or moving animals up close. I have to fight with AF-S instead. Canon have gotten around this on their mirrorless EOS R cameras, so it’s solvable.

Touch/drag to focus is delicious when you’re using just the rear screen. It’s smartphone smooth: quicker than the joystick and 100% precise. But everything falls apart when you look through the viewfinder. Those same drags become erratic. The faster you swipe, the less the focus moves – up to 12 swipes to prod-prod the focus point across the screen, while any one of those swipes might hurtle the focus point along, wrapping it over to the wrong side. You have to drag painfully slowly if you want precision, so the nudge-nudge of the joystick ends up faster. Please let the touch AF work the way it does already on the rear screen alone: touching the right side puts the focus on the right. It would give us speed AND precision at once – we could use all 425 AF points with no speed penalty, and glasses users (whose noses are nowhere near the screen) get a reason to smirk.

And finally, a lament…

I wish I could assign a temporary states of the camera to a function button, like Sony’s fabulous “Recall Custom Hold” function. It turns one camera into two. I often miss priceless candids when I’m shooting with flash because I can’t change enough settings in time. So I carry two Fujis to do the job of one Sony. On Sony, you hold button X to temporarily override all the camera’s settings to your chosen preset, like Aperture priority at f/2.8 with auto ISO 3 and eye-detect AF-C and Continuous High, flash off and AF engaged.

But love sees past such minor flaws. I just want to shoot with this camera. It’s delicious. It feels like the love child of my two all-time favourite cameras – the Nikon F4 and Olympus OM-4Ti. Surprisingly fast, dependable, traditional, small, and a genuine pleasure to use. Three working hours after getting the camera, it took the lead on a shoot when I left my Nikons at the previous shoot (not my proudest moment). It turned out to be a blessing – the X-T3 performed better than the Nikons ever have. Anyone wants to buy 3 full-frame Nikons and a set of pro lenses? I’m finally ready to commit 100% to Fuji.

Review by Manuel for FR-readers

Good morning everyone.

I hope your all fine and well. Here is my experience with the X-T3 so far:

Battery:

It seems to me, the battery does not exceed the life of the X-T2. Its more the opposite, but I use the BG most of the time, so this is not so much an issue for me.

AF:

Yes its much faster and better. Even my older “slower” AF lenses are working faster with less hunting (but can sometimes). The face Tracking seems to work well, sometimes it even tracks the “face” of my cat. in lower light (my livingroom at dusk) the focus slows down a bit, but not as much like the X-T2. on very fast AF lenses like the 50-140mm i could not see a difference to the X-T2 (IMO) Video AF is much better, and Face tracking works quite well. The AF speed can be adjusted wich is very neat.

Video:

Love the 4K footage with eterna, easy to grade and looks great. Oddly the H.265 codec ist still not supported in the PS & LR suite (you can find different forums about that issue). Note; if you use H.264 you only have 8bit colors instead of 10 bit in H.265.

Ergonomics:

Well… its a Fuji… not much different than a X-T2, i like the fact, the Buttons (AF-L / AE-L) are a bit bigger and easier to find. also the top Dials to choose Singe / continues shooting are a bit bigger and now easier to turn.

IQ:

The 26MP BSI Sensor produce some nice Images, to my eye the images (compared to the X-T2) are slightly sharper, but only if you pixelpeep.

The DR seems improved (if you compare the charts), but honestly….. in post production i could not tell….

What i really liked was the new “Chroma” function, especially in landscape. The high ISO noise in RAW seems to be the same to the X-T2 (at least to my eye) in jpg the X-T3 seems to be slightly better.

Well, the improvements doesn’t seems to be much, BUT, altogether there add up and if you watch the forest instead of the tree, the new X-T3 makes sense. I like it, esp. the new Face Track AF helps my work a lot and the additional MP are nice to have.

You’re Gonna be Okay

Pairing: Brandon Carlo x female!reader

Type: Fluff, kinda angsty if you love Carlo as much as I do

Warnings: Swearing

Word Count: 1k

Summary: Concussions suck. Concussions that were caused by a dirty hit suck even more. You weren’t allowed to see Brandon in the hospital, something that stung more than anybody could imagine. But when he got home, you were ready for him with a mountain of blankets and a warm, fuzzy sweatshirt.

A/N: this was mainly to make myself feel better but I know a lot of people love Brandon and probably need the same comfort I do

~~~~

You were pissed. Marchy was pissed. Bergy was pissed. Cassidy was pissed. Boston was pissed. Your heart stopped as you watched Brandon lay helplessly on the ice after Wilson delivered the nastiest hit you had seen in a while.

Anger slowly bubbled to the surface as you listened to the intermission report. Your phone started buzzing with a FaceTime request from Sean Kuraly as Brad Marchand’s goal was being talked about. You answered with a look of absolute rage on your face.

“I’m pissed,” you said.

“Me too,” Sean responded. “Are you okay?”

“I will be as soon as Wilson gets his clock cleaned,” you snapped before sighing and running a hand over your face. “I’m sorry.”

“It’s fine,” Sean reassured you. “There’s some talk in the locker room right now, they’ll take care of business in the second period.”

“You’re right,” you nodded. “I just hate seeing him hurt like that.”

“I do too,” Sean’s voice was soft, reminding you of why he was your best friend. “Do you wanna stay on the phone for the rest of the game?”

“No, I’ll be okay,” you offered up a smile. “I should probably wait for a call from the trainers or something.”

“Right,” Sean nodded. “Promise you’ll call me if you need anything?”

“Promise. Thanks, Sean.”

You tossed your phone down to the cushions beside you and let your head fall back against the pillows with a groan. You knew what you were getting yourself into when you agreed to date a hockey player, but this was something you were never going to get used to.

Seconds later, your phone rang again. This time with a call from one of the trainers.

“Hello?” you answered politely.

“Hi, Y/N, this is John from the training staff. I just wanted to let you know that Brandon took a bad hit and is going to be going to Mass General.”

“I saw the hit, thank you for letting me know,” you desperately wished there wasn't a pandemic going on so you could be by your boyfriend’s side.

“Of course. Someone will be dropping him off in a couple hours,” John said. You thanked him and hung up the phone.

Even though you were watching the game as goal after goal was scored, you felt disconnected from reality, like your head was being held underwater. You were completely disconnected from reality and had no idea how much time had passed between the time Brandon left the ice and when the buzzer rang.

You vaulted off the couch and grabbed a mask on your way out the door. You didn’t even bother to put on shoes. A member of the Bruins training staff was standing with Brandon at the door. Brandon’s face softened once he saw you.

“Don’t let him fall asleep,” the trainer said as you attached yourself to Brandon’s side, hands on his hip and back to support him. You nodded, thanked him, and led your boyfriend to the elevator.

“How do you feel, baby?” you asked, your voice soft.

“Like shit,” he responded sadly. You frowned.

“If I ever see Wilson in person I’m gonna make his life a living hell,” you grumbled as you stepped off the elevator.

“It’s not worth it,” Brandon shook his head. You watched as he slowly made his way to the couch, a frown on your face.

“Stay awake for me, okay?” you murmured as you kiss the top of his head. “I’m going to be right back.”

You went to your bedroom and pulled a fluffy blanket from the closet as well as Brandon’s favorite sweatshirt. The one you always wore so it smelled exactly like the perfume he got you for Christmas.

“What’s this?” he asked when you got back.

“Your favorite sweatshirt,” you said, passing it to him. “And a fuzzy blanket because we’re going up all night so we might as well be comfy.”

“I love you,” Brandon looked at you with nothing but complete and total adoration in his eyes as replaced his dress shirt with the sweatshirt. You smiled and leaned over, kissing his lips gently. They were cold and chapped.

“Baby,” you rested your hand on the side of his face, thumb gently rubbing over his cheekbone. He leaned into your touch and closed his eyes. You studied his face. His pink cheeks, the freckles dotting the bridge of his nose, the way his eyelashes rested against his skin.

“What?” he asked quietly as he opened his eyes.

“Nothing,” you shook your head and kissed the tip of his nose. “I just really love you.”

“I love you more.”

You leaned against the back of the couch and opened your arms. Brandon laid back against you, head resting on your chest and arms wrapped around your waist. You rested your hand on the spot Wilson hit him.

Brandon sighed, staring at a spot on the wall beside the TV cabinet. He could have sworn his head started to feel better just from you having your hand on his head. And when you started running your fingers through his hair? Oh boy, all bets were off.

“That feels nice,” he hummed.

“Don’t fall asleep on me down there,” you responded, continuing the motion of playing with his hair.

“I won’t,” he promised. He perked up when your phone rang. “Who’s that?”

“Bergy,” you responded. “Want me to tell him to call tomorrow?”

“No, no,” Brandon shook his head. “Answer it.”

“Hey Patrice,” you answered as the captain’s face popped up on the screen. Just the top of Brandon’s head was in frame.

“Can I assume he’s with you?” Bergy asked quietly.

“You can,” Brandon said. You moved the phone so he could talk to Patrice.

“Hey big guy,” Bergy smiled. “You feeling alright?”

“Better now that I’m home,” Brandon answered. “How did the rest of the game go?”

“We won 5-1,” Patrice said. Brandon smiled brightly. “And Tinny punched Wilson’s face in.”

“That should make you feel better,” you said, flattening your palm on the top of Brandon’s head.

“Remind me to buy him a beer once we can actually socialize again,” Brandon said, making Patrice laugh.

“Get better soon, man, we need you out here.”

“I’ll be back before you know it, you’re not getting rid of me this easy.”

Prompt List!!!!

So to make my life a bit easier, I decided to throw together a quick prompt list. You guys can use this when you’re requesting fics, and I’ll pull from it occasionally if I need some inspiration. I’ll sort into fluffy and smutty prompts so you can have your pick of which one you’re in the mood for!

(also the ones in bold are ones that I’ve added)

Fluffy

“Your hair is softer than mine”

“Stop moving!”

“Go to sleep or I swear to God I’ll make you chamomile tea and cuddle you”

“Is that my sweatshirt?”

“I’m so not jealous”

“Use my conditioner”

“Is that a new perfume?”

“You changed shampoos”

“Поцелуй меня” (kiss me)

“Let me rub your back”

“Take my jacket”

“It’s okay, I was awake anyway”

“Wanna go down to the arcade and play Pac-Man until we get in trouble?”

“How is it the moonlight makes you look that much prettier?”

“You were talking in your sleep”

“I learned a new language for you”

“You think I’m pretty?”

“He told me if I didn’t come talk to you he would take away my PlayStation”

“Read to me”

“I didn’t want to wake you up. You’re adorable when you’re asleep”

“Let's adopt a puppy”

“Have you been hanging out with my mom?”

“Sorry, your bed was just really warm”

“Use my phone”

“When I look at you I get this fuzzy feeling in my chest and I don’t know why”

“You got popcorn just so you could feel like a teenager again, didn’t you?”

“Say that again, but in English this time”

“Please don’t leave me”

“Who gave you permission to go out in public looking like that?”

“Kiss me again”

“You looked miserable, I thought I’d come save you”

“I’m not one for all this fancy ballroom stuff, let’s go hang out in our pajamas and get wine drunk”

“You gotta tell her, man. She’ll driver herself crazy if she doesn’t know there’s a puppy in your locker”

“So... are we supposed to like, kiss now?”

“I’ve seen the way you look at him”

“You fell. Hard”

“Will you two just kiss already?”

“You’re my everything”

“Shut the fuck up and hold my hand, loser”

“I’ve never, and will never, be happier than I am with you”

“Your laugh is my ringtone”

“Isn't this how most romcoms start? Two hot people stuck in an elevator?”

“Did you get any sleep last night?”

“Come on, we’re going ring shopping”

“What were you dreaming about?”

“Tonight is all about you, now put your hands above your head for me, baby”

“The last time you did that I couldn’t walk for three days”

“Your hands all over my body was the only thing I could think about at work today”

“Take your shirt off”

“You’ve always been my favorite meal”

“I was in the middle of an interview when you sent me that picture”

“I never knew you could do that”

“And in what frat house did you pick up that little trick?”

“Somehow you’re sexier tonight than you were last night”

“Has anybody ever touched you before me?”

“I’ll take good care of you, baby”

“You are officially on the naughty list”

“I haven’t been home for more than five minutes and you’re already on your knees for me”

“I knew you'd want dessert”

“There are only two reasons you’d call me at one in the morning and judging from the way you’re dressed nobody’s dead”

“Am I your first?”

Seasonal Prompts

Halloween

“You're not going trick or treating, you’re too old for that”

***“I plan on getting more than one kind of freaky tonight”

“What the hell are you supposed to be?”

“Nope, I’m not scared. Why would think I’m scared? I’m totally not scared”

“Please tell me that’s syrup”

“This haunted house was fifty bucks, I better die for that kind of money”

“Supernatural marathon at my place later, you’re bringing the candy”

“If someone asks, that skeleton of the Werewolf in my front yard is decorative”

“You can jump in the leaf pile if you help me rake”

“How can you love Halloween but hate horror movies?”

“Yeah, bring out the Ouija Board, what could possibly go wrong”

“First question; is that fake blood? Second question; if it isn’t is it your blood?”

***“The movie isn’t the only reason you’ll be screaming tonight”

“What are you gonna do? Burn me at the stake?”

“If you find an eyeball, don’t worry it’s not human”

“Ten pumpkins seems a little excessive” “It’s not excessive, it’s festive”

“Did that scarecrow just move or have I had too much punch?”

“My fangs just fell out”

“Yeah, let's go for a walk in the woods. I’m sorry, did you see Blair Witch Project?”

“It’s official, the house is haunted”

Christmas/New Years

“That has got to be the ugliest sweater I’ve ever seen”

“I told you I couldn’t bake, you didn’t listen”

“Look up, there’s mistletoe”

“This was my dream as a little kid, decorating a Christmas tree with a hot guy who just so happened to be my boyfriend”

“You should wear red more often”

“This is exactly how I envisioned you meeting my parents” “You envisioned me meeting your parents while running away from a flaming Christmas tree?”

“Tell me again, slowly this time, how the table cloth caught fire”

“You had the window seat on the way to Thanksgiving dinner, it’s my turn”

“This feels like the start of a rom com, two people stuck on a chair lift with a blizzard coming in”

“So you’re the one with the obnoxious light display”

“If I have to fake a smile for any longer I might actually commit murder so get me out of here as fast as you possibly can”

“My grandmother will not hesitate to force feed you Christmas cookies”

“I’ve always dreamed of having my first kiss on New Years Eve at midnight”

“Looks like we’re gonna have a white Christmas”

“Did you even use any wrapping paper, because this looks like it’s ninety percent tape”

“All I want for Christmas is you” “Cheesy”

“I never said I could skate”

“I thought a sleigh ride would be romantic”

“How the hell did you manage to hurt yourself putting up Christmas lights?”

That Time of the Month

Pairing: Brandon Carlo x female!reader

Type: Fluff

Warnings: Period pain, swearing

Word Count: 745

Summary: You have the worst cramps. Every single time they hit you’re curled up in a ball. Brandon stocked up on all your favorite junk food and is fully prepared to make you as comfortable as he possibly could.

~~~~

“Fuck!” you yelled, hugging the pillow tighter as you tried to get away from the stabbing pain in your lower abdomen.

“I’m sorry, baby,” Brandon hummed as he rubbed your back. He knew how hard your period hits you every month, and does everything he can to make you comfortable. “Can I get you anything?”

“Chocolate,” you whimpered. “Please.”

“Chocolate it is,” Brandon leaned down and kissed your forehead before standing up and retrieving the bag he’d stashed in your closet. He checked to make sure everything was there before walking back out.

“What’s that?” you asked as you watched him saunter back into the bedroom.

“Hell Week Survival Kit,” he said, putting the bag down on the mattress beside you. “We got chocolate, a heating pad, a teddy bear I sprayed with my cologne if I’m on a road trip, there’s ice cream in the freezer, and we have like fifteen movies.”

You looked up at Brandon, wide eyed, before saying anything. He furrowed his eyebrows and tilted his head at you.

“What?”

“You are bloody adorable,” you said as you unraveled yourself from your blanket and threw yourself at him, wrapping your arms around his neck and burying your head in his shoulder.

“I thought you were gonna yell at me,” he whispered as he wrapped his arms around you and held you tight.

“Why would I do that?” you asked, picking your head up from his shoulder. Brandon shrugged, making you shake your head and kiss him gently. “Now pick one of those movies out while I dig into this chocolate.”

“We’re watching Knives Out, hope that’s okay,” Brandon said as he walked back across the room and pulled you into his side. You rested your knees on his hip and made yourself comfortable as you picked at the chocolate bar in your hands.

“Perfect, Chris Evans is always the best cure,” you smirked to yourself, knowing you successfully got yourself a day’s worth of cuddles and love as Brandon tried to prove himself a better cure.

“Better than I am?” Brandon asked as he pulled you lay on top of him. You giggled as he ran his hands over your back, their warmth doing more than a heating pad could.

“Still not convinced,” you shrugged.

“You’re so on,” Brandon smiled and gently pushed you off of him and stood up. He sat at the edge of the bed and took your feet into his lap. You sighed as his thumbs worked away your tense muscles.

“Is that all you got?” you asked, smirking at him.

“If you wanted me to give you a back rub all you had to do was ask,” he said as you rolled onto you stomach. He moved to straddle your thighs as he pushed the shirt you’d stolen from his side of the closet up your back. You sighed into your arm as he started massaging your back, playing extra attention to where he knew your cramps hit you the hardest.

“That feels nice,” you hummed. His rough hands did wonders to melt away all your tension.

“Am I better than Chris Evans?” he asked again, leaning down to leave a trail of kisses up your spine.

“You’re better than Chris Evans,” you said, rolling onto your back. Brandon grinned and took your hands. You laughed as he pulled you into his lap. One of his large hands splayed against your thigh as he cuddled you.

“I don’t wanna go to practice tomorrow,” he sighed as he buried his face in your hair. “I’d much rather stay here with you and eat shit food and watch movies all day.”

“We can do that when you get home,” you said, placing a kiss to the crook of his neck. “Besides tomorrow’s Friday, we have Saturday all to ourselves again.”

“I was thinking of going down to the pet shelter on Boylston Street,” he said. “Wanna pick out a kitten?”

“Are you serious?” you asked, looking up at him.

“Mhm,” he nodded and grinned when he saw the smile cross your face.

“Yes!” you exclaimed, throwing your arms around his neck.

“I thought that would make you happy,” he said as he kissed the side of your head. “I thought we could name him Blades.”

“And that totally has nothing to do with the fact that the mascot is named Blades, yeah?” you smirked into his sleeve.

“Totally,” he responded.

“Blades is cute,” you agreed. “I like it.”
