I work with children's books. I sleep a lot. I like to collage. When I'm not doing any of those things, I'm probably here. (30-something, Jewish, queer, cis, she/her pronouns,)
After three days of intermittently working, my laptop is officially not charging at all, despite it being officially repaired last week and me making several frantic calls this weekend, so the radio silence will continue until I get a functional personal computer.
And yes, I am using the last *checks* 41% of my battery in part to post this.
Everything going okay? I figured you'd be flailing over the BW movie, and I was looking forward to reading your thoughts in depth, but you've been mostly on radio silence. Which is totally fine! I know how Everything Just Keeps Happening, and it can be overwhelming. I just wanted to check in to see how you are.
Aw, anon, thank you for checking in!
My personal laptop has been having issues up for a while, which meant I could only use it for short periods of time before attempting to pose it like a contortionist so it could regain battery power, but I got a new work laptop this month so I finally caved and sent my personal one in to be repaired and I just got it back! IT IS VERY EXCITING. (It's currently having the exact same issues despite officially being Repaired but I have decided I get to take some time to use it before calling the warranty people because I have been Fandom Computerless for too long and I missed it.)
I have also been in a period of really bad anxiety which was telling me, among other things, that I Did Not Understand Black Widow so I Should Not Speak On It, but TBH not being ABLE to discuss it in depth has made me want to talk about it that much more, so hopefully this weekend I'll be unloading a bunch on @alloftheblackwidowfeelings. I am 100% reading a bunch of things into the movie that aren't there into it, but I am trying to give myself grace to just go with it, because if you only get one movie featuring your fave, you might as well milk it for all it's worth, right?
My only other real plan for between after-work today and Erev Rosh Hashanah on Monday is to see Shang-Chi, once I get over my subway flooding paranoia, which is... I would really like for NYC to not have flooded twice in two months so I could just go to a Marvel movie without a This Many Days Since A Terrifying Natural Disaster countdown in my head as well as my COVID anxiety around the number of unmasked people on the subway, but we live in 2021! so here we are!
Anyway, Black Widow thoughts this weekend seem likely. But over there so I don't bother anyone who doesn't hear it. And thank you again for being concerned. <3
A RASH OF PEOPLE REBLOGGING THE SESAME STREET THANOS SNAP POST, ALL OF WHOM ARE COWARDS LACKING IMAGINATION: “I can’t believe anyone thought to write THIS crossover.
INTOSNARKNESS AND ME, IMMEDIATELY: “Hold our birdseed milkshakes.”
Hey there everyone who's tired of explaining that when bi people fall in love with an alternate sex it's neither "straight" nor "homophobic" (and particularly for those discussing it with the bits of fandom who maybe didn't get their fave m/m confirmed in canon), take this for your journey!
You know what I'm a slut for? When a character visibly drops a ruse. Like, the way their face changes the moment they give up a facade and reveal themselves.
This applies to revealing love, apathy, anger, evil intent. I mcfuckin love it.
me, rewatching my favourite media for the hundredth time: it’s about the comfort. it’s about the nostalgia. it’s about lacking the necessary emotional bandwidth to take in and process new things in this year of our lord 2021
Being on tumblr is like being a raccoon. I dig through the garbage for shiny things I like. Sometimes I find good things to share with my friends. Sometimes I find something horrifying, and also share it with my friends.
I’m getting notes on old Black Widow headcanon posts of mine that were either surpirsingly on the mark or spectacularly OFF the mark and both types are giving me feelings and I am extremely mad I have no one to blame for these emotions but myself.
All the people writing post-Black Widow fic are causing me a great deal of pain and I am WALLOWING in it, I hope all of you have a day that is proportionally as wonderful as you’ve made me sad.
