Rise Up, Oh Heart, For There is Another Battle to Win

wildehacked asked: Marco/Rachel + "Jerry Springer, not Casablanca".

(I like your setup for these so I’m stealing it)

AO3 summary: It’s not a gin joint and it doesn’t belong to him and she’s not the love of his life.  Some days he’s not even sure they’re friends.  They fuck anyway.  (PWminimalP, Angst, Longer War AU, Unsafe Insane and Consensual, Light Bondage, Blood)

Actual summary: It’s about year six of a war that burned them all out about year three.  They’ve managed to keep their secret through increasingly brutal means over the years.  Rachel and Cassie haven’t spoken except on missions since Rachel killed a member of the Yeerk Peace Movement in order to keep them from giving the Animorphs up.  Jake looks like the walking dead and hasn’t smiled–really smiled–since they failed to save Jake’s parents.  Tobias is less human than ever since Rachel left him, and morphs Ax more often than he morphs his old body (his old body is barely fourteen, glaringly young among the others).  

Marco and Rachel aren’t dating.  Marco is still their tactician and their sense of humor, but their sense of humor is bitter and cutting, and when Rachel kisses him, she bites until his lips bleed and ties his hands with rough cord, he fights her and leaves bruises and cuts.  They don’t have a safeword.  Rachel needs to feel in control and Marco needs to feel like he’s not the one guiding Jake’s hand on the trigger.  It’s a bad system, but God they need it and if anything happens…well, they can just morph it away, and wash each others’ blood from their hands.

The Fic I won’t write game

pterawaters:

Send me a ship and a fic title, and I’ll post a summary of the fic with that title I won’t write.

(Original game started by the puckurt comm mods here)

OMG THIS SOUNDS LIKE A LOT OF FUN

hey, anybody want to play this game? I would say anything goes, but….I have an inbox full of star wars asks from the last time I did a meme, and, like, science fiction has waned in my heart* while historical fiction is waxing, so: black sails, borgias, pirates of the caribbean, or any other historical drama you’ve seen me mention and want to toss my way for the sake of surprise? 

Askbox is here. :) 

Anonymous asked: If humans had a third hand what do you think it would be called? If you could play any instrument without practicing, what would it be?

First one: This?  The greatest question.  Okay so like obviously if it was a hand that sprouted from like right above your sternum, it would be called the middle hand, seeing as we already have the right and left hands (fun story, you know that phantom limb thing that happens with ADHD, among other things?  My brain used to really stubbornly spit out ‘middle eye’ as A Thing I Had when I was younger, it was weird).  On the other hand (ha, I’m a riot), if it was another hand below either your right or left hand (wouldn’t it be interesting if it was genetically dictated which side you had your third hand on, like handedness is genetically dictated or which thumb is on top when you lace your fingers) I imagine you would still have a ‘dominant’ hand.  Like, one of the three would be more dexterous than the others.  So maybe you’d have like “Yes, this is my left hand, and this is my right hand, and this is my prime hand.”  WHICH WOULD BE RAD.  Also, if you had two pairs of hands you could have your ‘prime’ hands and your ‘off’ hands, so like ‘prime left’ and ‘off right’ and yeah, this was a good question.

Second one: ANY.  I have very limited patience for learning instruments because I can’t read sheet music for shit (I have tried, I have made an effort, I have spent years on it, but nope, brain won’t do the thing).  I can sing!  But IDK I played the flute for a while, which was fun, and I’ve always wanted to be able to play like a harp or a lap harp, or the guitar.  I would really love to play either of those.  (I recognize that the flute and the harp are both really delicate instruments for someone like me but I like them, okay.  At least the guitar fits The Aesthetic.)

Anonymously ask me anything you want to know!

littlestartopaz asked: Parents meme: Alanna the Lioness and Natsume Takashi (from Natsume Yuujincho) Alanna: fighty, heavy sense of justice, does what she wants. Takashi: kind to a fault, accepts (almost) everyone. Takashi is the hands on, quiet parent. Growing up he seems like kind of a push over, but he doesn't humor pushing boundaries in his own quiet way. A parent you know will never be against you. Alanna teaches you how to fight and stand firm. Stand for what you believe and do it even if society is against it.

…this is weirdly accurate.

Anonymously message me (1) thing you want to know about me.

Give me two fictional characters you think are my parents.

lathori asked: Marvel (you must do some that don't involve Xmen, I see you) FOR ALL THE MEME QUESTIONS <3 your wife

JUST LET ME TALK ABOUT X-MEN FOR THREE HOURS WOMAN

For this list

name ur politically correct ship that no one ever questions

I SHIP NICK SPENCER WITH THE DEEPEST PITS OF HELL RESERVED FOR TRAITOROUS BIGOTED SCUM.  But I mean other than that…Natasha/Clint, Vision/Wanda, Rogue/Remy, and my much-maligned-by-movies-and-ignored-by-the-internet OTP Kitty/Colossus.  There is no order of preference here.  Also I recently got sold REALLY HARD on Steve/Bucky (recently, ha, like three years ago Jesus Moran get your shit together) so like, also Steve/Bucky.  And any marriage that makes Storm happy and a queen of a country, so by default Ororo/T’Challa.

now name ur trash ship

I do ship Natasha/Bucky, but I think the circumstances confirm me for a bad person, because I only ship them in the context of ‘I don’t remember you and you barely remember me but you can’t bring yourself to kill me so you shot me and saved my life and I woke up in your safehouse while you wiped my wounds with a gun in your other hand and I’m not sure which one of us you’re going to shoot first.’  So.  Like.  In the single most unhealthy available context.  In a whole universe of unhealthy contexts.

Also I feel like Bobby had a crush on Hank when they were both kids and sometimes still jerks off to his best friend but I DIGRESS.

and ur really trashy im-going-to-hell ship

Elektra the unhinged murderer/Matthew Murdock the desperately earnest crusader.  Fuck brutally against a wall and piece each other back together with trembling hands that smear your skin with blood.  Cling to each other in your dying moments and stand over each other’s graves feeling guilt for not saving each other and guilt for not killing each other.  Throw words like knives and hate yourselves for every hit even as you gloat.

Good.

who is your cinnamon roll fave who everyone loves

KITTY GODDAMN PRYDE, @EVERY MOVIE PERSON EVER COME HERE AND FIGHT ME.  Also Warren and Storm, I would die for Storm.

Also Steve Rogers.  I have this reoccurring daydream where Steve punches Nick Spencer in the face.

who is your sinnamon roll fave who everyone loves to hate/hates to love

I genuinely would not even know if I had one of these, Marvel has been in my blood and bones since I was too young to be on a computer unsupervised.  I like the FF more than most people seem to?  I really like Professor Xavier and I get really defensive when people talk shit about him?

who is your trash fave who is so problematic they probably have hate tumblrs dedicated to them

I…do not know.  I think Loki makes a pretty compelling villain, but I think I’m in the majority there.  I low-key want to fight whenever someone suggests that Warren joined Apocalypse of his own free will, but I AM STANDING BY COMIC CANON COME AT ME.  So yeah, don’t think I have one of these.

what is ur  guiltiest guilty fave fandom

Okay, listen, I will be an eighty year old woman who is made entirely of salty, salty attitude and brittle bones and I will STILL be reading my campy ridiculous 60′s comics with terrible dialogue and circus-performer villains.  I know it’s not a fandom, but still.

OH I really love X-Men: Evolution and I have a whole lecture about why it’s the best adaptation of the X-Men that I’m aware of to date, but I never tell anyone that I like it for some reason, does that count?

what is the fic you want to write/read but can’t because it is too full of Sin

…so.  I actually started this one (this one) and it was Good but then I realized it would be months and months of work and I got pre-emptively tired, but basically, first words soulmate AU where Natasha and her Black Widow trainee peers all got programmed to brutally murder anyone who said their words. So then Clint shows up and of course says her words and she tries to kill him before he pins her to the wall with an arrow, and they have a really terrible brutal few months where she begs him to just kill her a lot.  And Clint keeps a taser on his person for survival reasons.  And at least once Natasha tries to stab him to death in his sleep just to end the struggle.  And Clint has a terrible awful no-good very bad conversation with Coulson about the appropriate time to cut his losses.

what is the most sinful fic you have ever read/written

G O D D A M N

what is the worst thing you want to become canon (character death, trash-ship etc)

…listen…it’s Marvel…it’s all already canon babydoll…all of it…everyone is dead…everyone has had bad relationships…everyone has been resurrected…there’s no answer here…

what is your most sinful headcanon

Do not look me in the eye and tell me that Remy LaBeau has not figured out a way to have sex with someone without touching her skin.  Whether he’s put it into action or not, that’s another story, but he has DEFINITELY figured it out.

what is your cutest headcanon

Clint watches a lot of Disney movies (he looked it up, it’s called reparenting yourself) and so consequently during that couple month period where he and Natasha are basically locked in a warehouse waiting for her to fight off the worst of the brainwashing, Natasha watches a lot of Disney movies.  Now they’re Avengers and they watch Disney movies after missions and shit. Steve gets invited to join them because Natasha decides that They Will Be Friends (Natasha’s grasp on how to make real non-mark friends is heavily influenced by the fact that her first real friend shot her, handcuffed her, and locked himself in a warehouse with her for a couple months, and also was a circus performer with a dubious handle on the friendship thing himself).

what is your heart-breakingist head canon

…I mean…canon…

I have others that are non-canon or fit within canon but like that shit’s a longer post that would need to be broken down fandom by fandom

what is ur crackiest crack ship

HA, Storm/Arkon, because the idea of Storm as the queen of a campy-ass warrior world makes me laugh

what is ur marginally less cracky crack ship

Fury/literally anyone, because he would be SO BITTER about growing feelings

what is ur favourite ridiculous au

It’s not actually that ridiculous, it’s kind of terrifying, but AU where Loki brainwashes Natasha instead of Clint in Avengers.

skymurdock asked: Star Wars or Hamilton, 1 2 3.

STAR WARS IT IS

For this thing

1. Name your politically correct ship that no one ever questions.

I really genuinely like Han/Leia because I am a sucker for the “I just really enjoy shouting at this person and get really furious when they risk their life suRELY THIS DOES NOT MEAN FEELINGS” thing and I feel like that’s…all of Hoth.  The whole time.  All of it.  

Also, listen.  I will die on the hill of The Damerons as a totally adoring, poly unit of heroes in which Rey sleeps with her back to the wall and her head on Finn’s chest and her fingers tangled with Poe’s, who gently traces the line of the callous on her thumb in his sleep, and Finn lies there and stares at the ceiling and wonders how the FUCK he got this lucky.  (Because you deserve it, baby, you fucking deserve it.)

2. Now name your trash ship.

…I mean…Anakin is a trash can, so does Anakin/Padme qualify, or does Padme’s general quality everything lift them from the dumpster fire?

Although for real trash, you can’t do better than Rey/Phasma having really bitter angry hate sex.  Before Rey figures herself out and marries her two husbands, of course.

3. And your really trashy I’m-going-to-Hell ship.

…do I have one of these?  I don’t think I have–

oh no, yes I do, oh god I didn’t realize what the ship was for the fic but it was SO GOOD and I just.

Sith!Qui-Gon Jinn/Obi-Wan was not a ship I saw coming but F U C K.

It’s a really good fic okay, it sold me hardcore.  It’s this series by @poplitealqueen.  I should reread it because it’s been updated.  I’ll go sit in a hole now.

(I just really like Sith Qui-Gon and also Darth Venge, who I don’t think shows up in this one but is a big player in Re-Entry, which is like. Yeah.)
