Social misstepping through life

Sooo, great way to start the morning. Turn up in chat, fail to recognise that someone I’m talking to is genuinely angry rather than casually ranting about the factual inaccuracy of a thing. Went about as well as you’d think. They rage-quit when I made a joke, and I didn’t have a chance to apologise. I don’t think they follow me, but I’m putting this up here anyway in case they see it. I’m sorry, it was a genuine mistake. Hope I didn’t ruin your day too badly.

Watching a documentary about the Romanovs the other night

historymiss: It’s like Who Do You Think You Are for Natasha
copperbadge: Which is now a fic I want to write
copperbadge: Natasha goes on the show because it’s the best of a bad lot of PR options. Also she DID say she wanted to find herself
copperbadge: MCU-wise, if Nicholas had a couple of kids on the wrong side of the blanket, she could be a granddaughter or great-granddaughter, I suppose
archwrites: how would anyone get the red room data to find out, though
copperbadge: Well you wouldn’t need it necessarily. You could just DNA test her against the remains of the princesses.
Em: Putin makes her renounce any intention of making Russia a monarchy again and taking the throne 
copperbadge: Ahahaha like Putin could. He just begs her not to invade.
Em: true but still. He tries to make it *look* like he’s controlling it, and Nat lets him because she can’t be bothered.
copperbadge: Well, she checks with Tony, and apparently it’d be bad for the economy if she sets herself up as Tsarina. Plus James would make a terrible Tsar.
copperbadge: And Steve’s right out. And Sam doesn’t want to.
Em: LOL
copperbadge: Clint DOES want to be Tsar but…no.
Levynite: dear gods no
