Okay, ummm, among all of my current WIPs…

::::

“So,” Sam waited until everyone was seated, Natasha and Bucky on their second glass of wine and Steve’s plate piled high with half the chicken, “how were your first attempts at pretending to be human?”

“I took a cooking class - I can now make chicken alfredo better than Rogers - and I went on two dates. And I got banned from two airsoft centers,” Natasha said.

“Two dates?” Bucky asked. He had only heard about the one on Monday night, when Natasha had complained about the woman staying the entire night instead of sneaking off while Natasha pretended to be asleep like decent people did. Natasha had told him about it while they sparred yesterday afternoon, using the last two hours of their mandated eight-hour work day to intimidate the new recruits scheduled to use the gym during that time frame.

“The other was just a coffee date,” Natasha shrugged.

Hey all! Okay. We have a crazy number of people signed up to do this, like 45 across writers, artists and beta readers.

There were also a crazy number of prompts - all of them awesome - that were submitted to the prompt solicitation post.

I’ve taken all of those - that haven’t already been written or requested to hold onto - and put them into a Google Docs Form.

Please select your TOP 5 - you have until Wednesday, January 17th at midnight EST to submit. I will then make a NEW Form with the aggregate top 5 responses and we will all vote on THOSE to pick the winner, which all Round Robin groups will write.

Here’s the form link

7-7-7 WIP game

Go to your current WIP. Find the seventh line on the seventh page and copy and paste seven sentences below. Then tag seven other writers to do the same.

Tagged by @drgrlfriend and I accepted @mariana-oconnor tag too 🤣

(Fair warning, I cheated a bit. This fic isn’t quite 7 pages deep so I went as far as I could and picked 7 sentences.)

The asset is safe. There is no one. There are no technicians, no handlers, and no orders.

No one puts it in the chair.

The asset eventually finds the chair, and, for a moment, sits in it, making the shivers return as it clenches its teeth against the expected rush of pain.

The pain doesn’t come.

No one comes.

So yeah this is a bit off my normal beat. Tagging the usual suspects: @claraxbarton @captn-sara-holmes @redsector-a @flowerparrish @shatteredhourglass @spidergwenstefani @villainny

Screw the game- I mean, fun game thanks for tagging, where’s the rest of the fic?????????

On rewatching Winter Soldier for the 100th time

As one of my go-to background work movies, here we are again with more thoughts from Winter Soldier.

Today let’s talk about data management.

Zola is this fucking brilliant scientist who we are to believe has basically guided Hydra since being recruited into SHIELD during operation PaperClip.

First rule of Hydra: cut off one head and two take its place right?

So.

In the mid 1970s Zola’s brain, his consciousness, his sentience or whatever is transferred over to this billion data banks and computer Zola is born.

And then in 2014 this brilliant leader of Hydra is blown up.

This seems…awfully short sighted.

There is NO WAY Zola hasn’t been backed up over the years, hasn’t been transferred to more modern equipment with better and faster processing power. That base in New Jersey is just… one of those Harry Potter magic portraits that Zola ducked into to say hi.

So you can’t tell me that Zola brain isn’t still out there somewhere.

Furthermore.

Further fucking more.

If Hydra has a way to put sentience into a computer… you’re really telling me they only did it the ONCE?

legend-of-laurel:

“there’s a lot to unpack here” is the academic equivalent of “yikes”

Just gave my three year old a ten minute lecture on why Ryan’s Reviews are capitalist indoctrination and how he only has fun at the expense and health of other children all over the planet. Went into depth about how capitalism is a failed system that relies on flashy things for success and how we need to work together to pull it apart.

When I finally finished she just said okay and went back to her cereal.

I’m a goddamn menace.
