Happy Birthday Minnie 🥳🎉🥳😘

I’m so happy to hear you had a lovely day yesterday celebrating with friends & family, and I hope today is a wonderful day too!! 🥰🥰 I hope you get to enjoy some of the sunny weather today, have some time to read some of those fics you’ve been wanting to read, hopefully get to eat some more cake, get to have all the good daydreams about our boys, get showered in all the love you deserve, and your day is just generally filled with good vibes 💖💖💖

I don’t know how I can add to all the wonderful things Tej said about you last night and do my love for you any justice, but I’ll try.

Screaming with you about our boys is the best thing in the world. I sometimes feel like we share a brain when it comes to Chris and Seb, and having someone that just understands how impossible it is to express their love for them, is right there with me in losing their minds over them, that’s something I cherish so so much, you don’t even know 🥺🥺💖💖

Your love for our other boys just shines through in everything you do and say, and you’re just one of their greatest defenders on this hellsite, and I’m so grateful for that 💛💛. To know you’re just as in your feelings about them as me brings me so much joy, and the way you express those feelings in your wonderful, brilliant fics, just fills me with awe 🥺💛

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I don’t think there’s anyone on here that’s as welcoming and kind to everyone, and it played a huge role in me feeling comfortable to become active in this fandom, and it’s still a reason a stay. Because even if things suck, whether in real life or fandom related, you’re always a voice of reason, always a positive, bright shining light (even if you might not always think so, but you are!)💕💕💕

I feel so so so lucky to have met you on here and to call you a friend, and I love you so damn much I can’t even express it. You’re one of the funniest, sweetest, most brilliant people I know, and you deserve everything. So again, my love, hope you have the happiest of birthdays 💛💛💛😘😘😘

Maya maya maya maya 💗💗💗💗 I've told you this already, but every time I get a message from you - whether it's a ask or a DM or a notif or a wonderful comment on AO3 - my heart skips a beat and I go 'MAYAAA 🥰🥰🥰'

You have become such an important part of my fandom experience and life in a relatively short time, and that is a testament to how utterly LOVELY and brilliant and special you are, my darling 💘💘💘 There is no one like you, I swear!!! I can't even tell you how grateful I am for your friendship, your kindness and your support, and I just adore the way you're so generous and open with your affection and appreciation 🥺 It's my firm belief that life is too short to hold back and not spread the love as uninhibited-ly as possible, and you seem to be on the same page when it comes to that (as are some other unbelievable lovelies on this site, you know who you are 🥰) and I appreciate that endlessly!!! 💛💛

Thank you thank you thank you for being you and for all your love and support, and I swear that every nice thing you've ever said to me goes for you too x 10000. I'm so grateful to know you and call you a friend and be able to gush and scream with you too, or even just to be there for each other when things aren't so great, sometimes 💗 May we spend many more years losing our minds over how beautiful, precious and infuriatingly lovely our boys are together, sweetest Maya! Sending all my love (literally all of it. there's a lot of it fyi so be ready for an avalanche)

Mayaaaaaa. Now that we're both fully awake, we can appreciate those Seb pictures properly 💐🥰 Such a pretty, bright bunch for winter, but they are so big and make him look so tiny! Esp when he's bundled up in that big pink hoodie too.

Imagine that he misses the delivery or it gets misdelivered so he goes on a little bit of a frustrating wild goose chase to track them down with his little sorry we missed you! card until he finally gets to them. There's a little card from Chris attached because they're both in different places but Chris still wants to congratulate him. Sebastian makes his way back to his place with his gigantic flowers and they're heavy but he's so excited to put them in his apartment to remind him of Chris because he misses his boyfriend.

Then he finally gets home - cold and tired from carrying the bouquet - and in his living room is Chris with a little pink tulip 🌷

"You missed one."

Anyway! Have a good day thinking of Golden Globes nominee Sebastian Stan and his flowers! 🌸😘

Tejodoreeeee 💕💕💕 Oh my god, I know right?!! Those flowers made him look tiny 🥺💖 because they were so big, but also bc he just has smoll™️ energy 🥰 He looked SO SOFT and cozy, so incredibly cute, it honestly made my day!!

And oh my god TEJ 😭😭😭😭 I definitely choose to believe that’s what happened, Chris would give him the prettiest bouquet of flowers with something sappy and proud on the card, and of course he’s such a hopeless (wonderful) romantic that he’s show up at Seb’s place anyway 🥰🥰🥰 And the little flower in his hand??? Wtf Tej that is soooo cute I’m sobbing 😭😭😭

I’m just imagining Seb rushing over to him and grabbing him and kissing him and then whispering “No I think I got it”, and he’s not talking about the flower 💖💖

Thank you so much for this wonderful, perfect idea & sharing it with me, this made my morning even better, I love you (and them) SO much 💕💕💕💕

Hi Tejodore, my love 💕💕💕 I’m just dropping by because it is lane lines SEQUEL DAY 🥳🥳🎉🎉 I cannot wait to read it, because I know it’s gonna be absolutely amazing. I love lane lines SO MUCH, and I hope you know that, so I feel so blessed that I’m (we are, I guess ) getting even more of this little verse 🥰🥰🥰 I’m so freaking proud of you for doing this and getting so far already, and so in awe of you that you managed to write this while also blessing us with so many other incredible fics this year. You’re brilliant, honestly an inspiration 💕💕. I hope you are proud too, because even if this is just the start of it, is an achievement in itself - and if not, I will bully you until you are (lovingly, of course). Not only are you a brilliant writer, you’re also a wonderful person and an amazing friend, and you deserve everything, I love youuuu 💛💛💛💛 (and I’ll probably be back to scream at you after every chapter drops, just so you know).

ps. don’t worry too much, just listen to Tabs.

Mayaaaaaa 😭😭😭 How are you so sweet and encouraging? You have such a huge heart and I'm so blessed that you're kind enough to share it with me 💗

Thank you so much for this kind and lovely message! I'm terrified but you have been so supportive and excited for this fic, that I'm so excited to share it with you! 😘

It's been a year in the making so I can't believe that I'm finally going to start posting. It feels far too early yet also far too late and also exactly the right time! I'm a mix of emotions today (namely fear) but your support and friendship means everything to me 💖💖💖

I promise that I will step away from my editing (overthinking) and listen to @teenytabris, who's there to lovingly slap my hands away from the keyboard and reassure me every time I want to cut words again 👀 She is the best and you are the best too! I couldn't have done this without either of you over the last few months 😘😘😘

Me @ you constantly:

I’ve slowly been making my way through my to-read list and I just finished Rites of the Wild & The FBI’s Most (Un)Wanted, and I just don’t think that screaming in the comments over on Ao3 is enough??? Like, I’d say I’m pretty speechless, which I was right after reading both of these, but now I just want to yell at you and ask you once again how you dare be so brilliant??? 😤😭😭 I loved both of these so freaking much, for different reasons, but they’re both just, soooo incredible, I can’t believe I hadn’t read either one until now.

And there is even a follow up to Rites of the Wild (which I will read right after this)? I can’t believe we’re that blessed, if I’m completely honest. Your writing gives me ALL the feels, I feel so completely drawn in by its magic, whether its the atmospheric vibes and poetry of RotW or the mutual pining and self sacrificing idiocy and tenderness of FBI’s most unwanted, I’m completely in love with ALL of it 🥰🥰And I love you. Okay bye hope you’re having an amazing Sunday 💛💛😘😘

MAYAAAAAA WHAT THE HECK 😭😭😭😭😭😭 I have been just staring at this ask for hours, reading it again and again and again - how DARE you make me feel all these feeling huh?? Pls explain yourself 🥺🥺🥺💕💕💕 As if I wasn’t in bad enough shambles after reading your wonderful and lovely and amazing comments, then you go and leave this in my ask box??? 

I’m just so so happy to hear my writing has brought you joy, and I don’t think I can ever quite put into words just how much feedback like this means to me, but. Pls believe me when I say it means THE ACTUAL FRICKIN WORLD 🥺 💗💗💗

Sdfksgssfsf I love YOU and I’m so happy we met on this beloathed hellsite and I just can’t with how unbelievably kind and supportive and sweet you are, you know?? It’s basically a crime, actually 😭😭😭

I hope your Sunday has been and continues to be lovely, honey! Sending a billion hugs! 💕💕💕💕

hi my sweet bumble bee ilysm 🥰

MAYAAAAAA hi love 💞 please don't pass away! 🥺

MAYAAAAAA 🥰😘🫶🏻

MY WIIIIIIIFFFFEEEE

Pre flight screaming. MINNIE I CANNOT. He’s so pretty 😭😭😭😭 I will be spending my whole flight thinking about how perfect and baby he looks oh god how dare he be so cute and pretty, it’s a good thing I love him so much bc honestly this is unacceptable 😭💕💕

MAYAAAAAA!!! You'll be on your flight by now hopefully, or almost maybe, but THANK YOU for dropping by my inbox to scream about this man because oh my fucking god I'm losing my mind, he looks so fucking gooooooooooooood 😫😫😫 WHO ALLOWED THIS??

His face is literally perfect, I wouldn't change a thing, and he's just getting more perfect and stunning with age and I just don't understand 🙃 Literally having a meltdown over here before 10am this man's insane and unparalleled beauty, like WHAT 😭😍

Anyways, Sebastian Stan is gorgeous, the sky is blue, the grass is green, what else is new, right? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Hope you have a safe flight and that you can spend it dreaming of this beautyyyy 🥰 Love you!!!

Mayaaaaaa my baby 🥰💕🌸💕💫🥰💘💫 I know we’ve already spoken but I wanted to drop by your asks too to say that I'm so glad you had such a wonderful weekend away!! You deserve that so so much 💛 And I know it was only a weekend but I am still SO glad you're back on here 😅 I missed you terribly and I'm sure I wasn't the only one ❤️❤️ Love you bunches, baby!! Hope your Monday was good and that your trip left you recharged and feeling good about life 🌷 All the kisses from me to you!!!

MINNIEEEE, my love 💕💕💕💕 Why must you be so cute and sweet and wonderful, huh??? How am I supposed to deal with that? 🥺💖💗💗💗

Thank you sooooo much!! I did have a wonderful weekend and it went by so quickly but I also feel like I’ve been away for a couple of weeks, which is so odd?? But awww, I missed you soooo much too!! 💛

My Monday wasn’t too Monday-y, thankfully, because while my trip was great to recharge in some aspects (definitely feeling good about life 💖) it wasn’t in others - note to self: I’m too old to party until 7am & get up at 11 am the next morning 😂😭😭 - so I’m glad I got to take a nap (or 2) today in between the actual work stuff 🤣

Sending you ALL the hugs & kisses right back, I love you soooo damn much 🥰🥰💕💕💕

Mayaaaaaa, first of all I have to say THANK YOU because today I wasn't feeling well and you were very comforting. And then I ate something and instantly felt better, lmao. Now I know why you're always telling me to eat on time! I don't know what I'd do without you 😘

Secondly - and most importantly - I saw Seb's extended interview with Podcrushed and I just want to say HOW CUTE IS HE?! I've missed him so much! I love the way he talks so passionately about subjects that he cares about. And he may not always be the most eloquent about it, but it just makes him even more endearing. The way he gesticulates with his hands, and you can see him thinking about what he wants to say??? LIKE 😭😭😭

It's clear that when he talks it's not just soundbites or superficial answers. He really tries to get across what he wants to say even if it's not in the clearest way, but he tries!

ALSO THAT FACE?! All tanned and clean shaven?! HIS HAIR?! Please bury me in satin and lay me on the river because I HAVE DIED.

Okay, thank you hope you're having a nice Saturday.

Tejodoreeeee 💕💕💕

I’m so glad you’re feeling better! Who would’ve thought that eating more than just breakfast would have such miraculous results? lmao, next time I go on a trip I’ll set an alarm for tej meal times 😂💛

And OMG I KNOW 😭😭 he looked so good in this interview, and I’m so glad we got the extended version to hear him talk a little more about things he’s clearly passionate about 🥺🥰

(These are not from the extended interview but so adorable I couldn’t help it - credit to @unearthlydust )

He may not always be as eloquent in the same way Chris for example is, but you can always see him thinking, considering, and he always has the most interesting points of view. That reminds me of an interview where he said he doesn’t think he’s interesting, which 🤯, because I find him the most interesting actually 💖💖

And I think he made some great points in this interview, really. You can tell he’s thought about this a lot and is worried, for good reason, about what social media does, especially to the younger generation. Also, I’m still cackling about him saying he has beef with TikTok because he was making those oneminutemen videos with Will years ago 😂😂 (pls bring those back they were hilarious). The only thing about this that makes me sad is the thing about him not being on social media, which we’d seen before. I’m all for him protecting his peace, and I’m so glad he’s taking a break from all of that because it seems to be good for him, BUT I MISS HIM SO MUCH. Both his pretty face and his ridiculous captions 🥺

So I loved that we got this extended video, because his face never fails to cheer me up, honestly. Sometimes I just want to scream, just because he exists, and is so wonderful and thoughtful and kind and PRETTY. Like, the PRETTIEST. Especially here, with the tan and the clean shaven face and the longer hair. I’m soooo with you honey, I’m dead too 😭😭😭 I just love him an insane amount, okay? 🥺

I also love youuuuuu an insane amount!!! Hope you’re having a wonderful Saturday evening, sending you all the snuggles 💕💕💕💕💕

Minnieeeee my love 💕💕💕 I hope you’re having the best evening!!

For the trope game, how about:

Didn’t know they were dating

Identity Porn

bye i love you 😘

Mayaaaaaa, my darling angel! 💖💖💖💖 Thanks for dropping by, ily 🥰

Ooohhh good ones, thank you!! Okay so the Didn't know they were dating is a FUCK Yes from me, it's pretty spectacular ngl. Because it implies that they're stupid, you're honour, so very stupid and oblivious, and I love that in my fictional men who are in love with each other ❤️ The only reason it's not an 'Oh my god you don't even know' is because I think it usually means they're more or less unaware of their feelings, and I just like it even better when they actively PINE for each other like they're in a Jane Austen novel 💞

Identity porn is a tricky one for me. It can be so so good when done well, and it has so much potential for yearning and intrigue and dramatic reveals, but I do have a hard time with the fact that usually with this trope, one of our boys (I'm obviously talking Stucky fic and nothing else here lol) falls for and/or sleeps with someone that they don't know (yet) is actually Steve or Bucky, i.e. the other half of their soul. When it's done well, it's usyally made clear thay they only are attracted to this mysterious stranger because they remind them of their soulmate and on some level they just know it's them, even without knowing. So then I can definitely enjoy a bit of identity porn!! But I don't like it when it feels like they're just sleeping with an attractive stranger and only later find out it was actually Steve/Bucky all along. That feels too much like "cheating" to me, and I don't like that at all. I'd rather they resign themselves to never loving/having sex again when they think they've lost the other forever then them getting involved with other people, honestly 🙈 So I'd say it's a Sure from me on this one?

Sorry for being so long-winded lmao, I happen to have Thoughts on that one! Thanks for asking, I love you, sending kisses!! 😘😘

Hi Minnie my love 💖💖 You probably already got an ask about this and I know you posted about it, but since when is Chris a coffee guy??? I’m not gonna read anything into this, but yes I am, and what I’m reading into this is that just making coffee for Sebastian every morning, bringing Sebastian that cup of coffee and see that sleepy face light up when he does, see him push away locks of that messy bed hair, he eventually just thought, “he makes that look really good”, and that + having it in the house all the time made him cave eventually. Also the smell of coffee kinda reminds him of Seb and their mornings together when they’re apart 🥺 He still prefers it without milk, or maybe a little of almond, but he always has oat milk at home to make it just right for his baby 💖💖

Mayaaaaaa 🥰💕💘💖 It's so great to see you back, and I see you decided to come back with a bang 😍 AH, I know, right?? I was (happily) surprised to learn yesteday that Chris turned into a coffee guy at some point! ☕ And you are so unbelievably correct, this is absolutely what happened to make Chris like coffee more, and I will not be taking any criticism at any time.

I love this idea so, so much, I am SWOONING 🥺🥺🥺 Every single thing about this is adorable. Also consider, if you will, Chris kissing Seb while Seb is still having his coffee in the morning, and coming to associate not just the smell, but the taste of coffee with Sebastian. And then, when they're apart, he suddenly finds himself craving it more and more, and he finally realises that it's got less to do with needing the caffeine, and more with missing Seb 🥺💘

Ugh, I love this, and them, and you so much! So happy you back safe and sound, and that you had such an amazing trip, lovely!! 🥰💕

Mayaaaaaa, my love! I know you're in Morocco as we speak and I hope you're having an amazing, very offline time and that you're doing all the hiking and sightseeing and other wonderful things, but I just wanted to drop by to tell you how much I miss you and your wonderful, uplifting presence on my dash 🥺💖💫 I'm very much looking forward to your return, if and when you're back and ready to rejoin the craziness 🥰🌷😘 You've missed a lot lmao (not in terms of the boys, don't worry, just... tumblr being tumblr 😂 They made up a movie, it's a long and hilarious story, but who knows, you might've even seen some of it because it's everywhere). ANYWAY. Hope you're having the most fabulous time, and I miss and love you lots!!! 💫💖🌷💕🥰

Minnieeeee my love 💛💛💛💛 thank you so much for this lovely message, you are just the absolute sweetest🥺🥰

I did have an amazing time! It had been over 10 years since I was last in Morocco, and so much of it felt nostalgic and so much was new, getting to experience it in a different way, and I loved every minute of it so much! The hiking was intense but definitely a highlight, with some amazing views and wonderful local people we stayed with, who taught us how to make a bunch of Moroccan food, which was an incredible experience. I’m definitely gonna go back some day. And the FOOD we had on this trip just in general 🥰🥰🥰 so good!!!! I want to go back again just for that 😂

I did miss you and everyone else on here so much, even if it was just a week! It felt longer for sure. And I’ve definitely lurked a little so I did see that part about the movie and I didn’t even bother trying to explain to my friends why that made me laugh so much. I’m definitely with you on the reboot with our boys 🥰🥰 😂

I’m also definitely ready to join in on the craziness again though 😂 I’ll probably spend some time catching up on what I missed, which will basically be me going through your blog and reblogging everything lmao. This wonderful message was the perfect welcome home, and I love you soooo much 💖💖💖💖 I hope you’ve had an amazing week too lovely!!!

MAYAAAAAA, BABY BOO 💖🌟❤️🌟💋💞💫CONGRATULATIONS on 1k followers!!!!!!!!

You are SUCH an incredible person, and your blog is one of my absolute faves to follow on here, and I am SO glad so many people agree with me!!! 🥰💖 Thank you for being to best and for all the incredible content you bless us with, and having such a big part in why this is a place worth being, where we can all yell and cry and jump up and down about our boys together 🙏🏻 It wouldn't be the same without you, and you deserve to be celebrated always, but especially when reaching such a lovely milestone 🙌🏻😘

I LOVE YOU ❤️ Here's to thousands more, honey!!! You deserve them (us) all 🥳🥳🥳🥳

MINNIEEE, my loveeee 🥺💛💛💛💛💛, thank you SO much!!!

YOU are an incredible person, and this is so damn sweet, thank you so much for being the best, for being so kind, and for being my friend 😭💕💕💕 YOU make being here so much fun, and such a wonderful experience, and everything you said about me holds twice as much for you!! I don’t deserve you really 🥺

You’re one of my favs too, and I wouldn’t know what to do without out your. Your support means SO much time, I love you so god damn much 🥺💕💕💕💕💕

Mayaaaaaa 💖✨💖✨💖✨ I just wanted to drop by and tell you how much I appreciate you and everything you do for this fandom 🥰💕 In just a few months you’ve changed all our lives for the better, and now I honestly can’t even imagine this place without you?? 🥺🥺🥺💓

I love you lots and hope you’re having the bed weekend! 🍃💖 I’m sending you so many hugs you won’t know what to do with them! 💞

KAYYYY 😭😭💖💖 I just needed a moment after seeing this wonderful message bc HOW, How dare you be so sweet, huh??? Sdgsjshskskhdhs you are right, I don’t know what to do with all those hugs 😭😭 and even less so what to do with all your kind words, goddd I’m just, sobbing right now??? 🥺🥺🥺💕💕💕

I’m so so glad I decided to join the little circus over here, definitely the best decision I’ve made, because getting to know amazing, sweet, talented people like you has just made my life so much better 💖💖

I love and appreciate you SO MUCH honey, you have no idea. Thank you for blessing us with your talent (I can’t waaaait for your new fic), and just for being the absolute ray of sunshine that you are!! My day so far has been great, but your lovely words have made it even better 🥰🥰 Kay, my love, I hope you’re having the BEST day, sending all of those hugs right back 💛✨💛✨😘😘

Mayaaaaaa 💖💖💖 I still haven't gone for a shower yet but I swear I'm doing it next after this!

#9, #16 and #28 for the superlatives game please! ✨

I love you! Thanks for being so sweet and supportive when I'm feeling blah and sad 💞

Tejjjjj 💖💕💕💖 lmaooo please stop procrastinating and go take that shower (I’m one to talk 😂) thank you so much for your ask, I love you toooo and I hope you feel better soon lovely 🥺💕💕💕

9. Funniest Tags

I just answered this one here, but I guess Red, White & Blue’s tags would also work:

#Bucky Barnes needs to get laid #Sam Wilson probably needs a restraining order

16. Most likely to make someone laugh

I would say Taste It ? Or maybe Red, White & Blue again 😂 they’re both a little ridiculous, and a little horny, which is the perfect combination in my opinion 😂

28. Happiest fic

I would say How About Love? Which is funny because writing it was such a struggle 😂, but I think it’s happy in the sense that it’s a mostly lighthearted exploration of them meeting and falling in love and just filled with fluff. Honorable mention to my flufftober fics, especially Thick as Thieves (at least for me, seeing these boys without a care and happy and laughing and having fun makes me happy).🥰🥰🥰

Ask me about fic superlatives

Oh Mayaaaaaa, darling!! Rest up and hopefully you don't have horrible symptoms 💖

Here's some things to help cheer you up!

Wishing you a speedy recovery ✨💖

Ohhh my god this is soo sweet, that really put such a big smile on my face 🤗🥰🥰🥰

Also I don’t know if it’s my light fever or the weather but do they always look this hot? Whew.

This definitely cheered me up, you’re the BEST, sending you all the virtual hugs & smooches darling!!💕💕💕💕💕
