I’m sure this has been done before, but this picture is literally them.

hey op, you okay?

listen. i know it's not 2014 anymore and i know it's just a throwaway line and that the russo brothers didnt intend for marvel action blockbuster captain america the winter soldier to become the tragic gay love story that never was but man. having steve say "it's kind of hard to find someone with shared life experience" in a conversation about romantic relationships right before the bucky reveal is so cruel. it's not just about steve and bucky obviously having the shared experience of being "out of time," it's the fact that they've both been stripped of their humanity in opposite directions. steve is a legend, he is an american hero and a national icon before he is a human being the same way that bucky is a weapon and a killing machine before he is a human being. steve knows that anyone who falls in love with him in the 21st century fell in love with captain america first, and that's just not him. but then the one person who knew him first and knew him best and loved him (not captain america, that little guy from brooklyn) so much he died for it is alive, impossibly. and it's a miracle because he's back and it's horrific because he's back under the worst possible circumstances. but to steve, the winter soldier is worth tearing the world apart for because he's always been bucky first. they find each other and suddenly they're human again. and maybe, despite it all, being "out of time" becomes a blessing, because in this century they'd finally be allowed to love each other the way they've always wanted to. like real people do.

like. no. the captain america trilogy isn't about two queer men traumatized and alienated by war and modern life rediscovering and reclaiming their humanity through their love for each other. but. i mean. it couldve been

There’s a fic on fanfiction(.)net that I’ve kept tabs on for years to see if it’s been updated or not. While I’m no longer even in the fandom it’s written for, it just has one of the greatest storylines I’ve ever read. Last time it was updated was 2011.

The other day, I decided to reread the entire thing and leave a very in-depth review of what I thought of each chapter. I also mentioned how I started reading it when I was 13 and am now 21, but always came back to see if it was ever finished because I loved it so dearly.

Today, said author sent me a private message saying that her analytics showed that the story was still getting views even after all these years, but no one ever bothered to leave reviews other than “update soon!!!”, so she never felt motivated enough to finish it. She said that me reviewing every single chapter with lengthy paragraphs made her cry and meant the world to her. She also mentioned that she felt encouraged to write the two remaining chapters needed to complete the story and that she would send me a message the night before she updates the fic.

I’m literally sobbing. I’m so excited :’)

Please always remember to leave a review when reading fanfiction!!! It means a lot to a writer.

I just saw a Tik Tok that said writers on AO3 are not looking for constructive criticism in their reviews. I have no audience on this platform so I have to know if this is true? I've always left my pros and cons when reading a fic and now I'm concerned that the authors didn't like that.

Yeah writers are Not looking for criticism, constructive or otherwise. Unless they specifically ask for it, it’s considered rude and honestly a bit hurtful. In the least bitchy way possible, don’t do that. It’s unwanted.

reblog to give the person you reblogged it from a good night’s sleep (maybe)(please)(I’m begging the universe)

adults are always talking about how “kids will do anything to get out of school” and okay, first of all that’s not true, but I think we really need to ask why that idea holds so much sway.

children’s brains are hard-wired to take in new information and acquire new skills. consider, for a moment, just how thoroughly our society had to fuck up the concept of education for it to be a normal thing to assume kids are universally desperate to avoid learning.

Kaz : it’s not right

Inej laughing: it was funny

Kaz: it was not, Matthias beat me at Monopoly…MATTHIAS!

Inej: If it helps, it wasn’t a lot of ability, he was mostly lucky, he got good cards and the dice fell a lot in his favor, other things were pretty much adviced like Nina. Also you kind of deserved that for being an asshole last time when you put him on jail the whole game and then mocked him

Kaz: But how was he so lucky? I certainly know how to cheat in Monopoly but him? He didn’t even took out the ga…

Kaz: oh that motherfuc-

….

Kaz in the darkness with a candle:It was you

Wylan waking up : AAAAAH!

Jesper: WHAT THE FUCK,KAZ?!

Kaz kneeling on the bed over Wylan : you were the one that set up the game,you put the cards on the perfect order for Matthias to get the good ones

Wylan: that’s absurd! How do you think i could ever be capable of that?

Kaz: you are a math genius

Wylan:…

Wylan: i want to take the compliment but I’ll fall in the trap. Anyway, Kaz,Matthias beat you,get over it. Also, even if I did somehow did the cards thing,there’s no way that’s the only thing that made him win.

Kaz: it’s true,that’s why you had the dice be manipulated…BY HIM! (points the light at Jesper) Jesper moved the dice by your request , probably you whored yourself out for that

Wylan: Kaz, this is just…

Jesper: i am so sorry,Kaz! I didn’t want to, but he seduced me!

Wylan: what seduction? I only said “please”

Jesper: duh! That’s what i mean!

Kaz: I don’t blame you,Jesper. Also realized that Nina was on it , she had been telling jokes the whole game,which would make Inej laugh and it will distract me to put two and two until it was too late..

Jesper: way too late,it’s 1 am

Wylan: you are not exactly right,Nina didn’t knew the whole plan or even that Matthias was supposed to win,just that she had to keep Inej laughing

Kaz: how much did you pay her?

Wylan : well, i said “want to make Kaz suffer?” And she said “yes” before I could even finish. I tried to give her some kruge when the plan worked but she gave them back and said “Kaz’s loser face was everything that i could have asked in this word”

Okay, you know what? After reading this post, I jokingly said we should all just make a pact to reblog it five times a day forever. So I'm gonna do this louder for the people in the back:
