Fuck

jabberwockypie:

So we found out what’s wrong with the car.

It’s the clutch.

$925

Yes.  Nine Two Five.  NINE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE.

I’m not really sure what to do.

I don’t really have anything left I can sell.  Certainly not in a short period of time, though I don’t have a whole lot of stuff that’s valuable and Ebay is always dead in summer.

At this specific moment I really wish I was one of those people who had the social capital to ask for donations or something.  (That’s not me hinting or anything, that’s just a wistful statement.)

There’s not really anyone I can ask for help.

I could write my father another letter, I guess?  I mean it’s probably better than sobbing into a pillow.  … Probably?

copperbadge/Sam does a thing called Radio Free Monday that is a weekly round-up of links, a lot of which are for people who need help. It probably won’t cover it, but you might get a couple of donations off it. I don’t know what you’d need to have in place, since I’ve never done a donation account thing for myself, but Sam should be able to tell you. Sam, I’m tagging this for you so you can chip in…

Steve learned how to juggle from Clint

kath-ballantyne’s Nan can juggle oranges, one-handed, against the wall. When asked why, she just shrugs and says, “It was the War.”

I talked about it to an Australian lady who was in England during the War (she stopped to admire my knitting a few weeks back) and she shrugged and said, “Yeah, I did that too.”

So, during the War, it was generally normal behaviour to knit and to teach yourself to juggle when in bomb shelters.

When I start dreaming Clint/Coulson AUs where Clint’s a con man and Coulson’s the FBI agent, I know I’ve been watching too many White Collar episodes in a row.

But seriously. Clint in a fedora and stylish suit. Phil all rumpled agent who drinks bad coffee. And they catch bad guys together.

Steve with wings.

My girl iamshadow wrote a cute fic called Chrysalid.

Summary:

You’re not ashamed of them, not really. You just wish that if the serum was going to give you super strength and health and ridiculous head wings, the government would have at least given you something less humiliating to do than parade around in fancy dress.

Notes:

Gifted to Sam, because he’s got a lot on his plate right now.

Inspired by Sam’s adorable funny post Headwings, which talks about Steve maybe having actual head wings in the comics, and what that might mean. Because I’m not really a comics person, this story is pretty strictly MCU.

Anyway I wanted to draw Bucky stroking Steve’s wing but it was beyond me so I drew this instead. Quicky and sketchy and so not my usual style (OMG no lines *cries* how do you do edges?) but I kind of like it.

Photoshop CS2 and a touch screen stylus because my Wacom is broken

My baby made me sneaky fanart for my fic while I cooked dinner!

Headwings

So, the other night I shared the picture of Steve where he not only put his bandages over his uniform, he poked holes in them for his wings to stick out:

[From Avengers #45, 2001, try to ignore that he’s also riding a hovering wheelchair.]

And someone remarked that maybe they were actually attached to his skull, which given this x-ray image of him talking on the phone, would not actually be that implausible:

[From Captain America #308, 1985.]

I remarked that they could be like Namor’s ankle wings. I don’t think Namor’s ankle wings actually give him enough lift to fly, but they’re more like, semiotic indicators that he CAN fly, or little steering wings, or something. 

Anyway the upshot was that if the wings on Steve’s Captain America uniform were actually wings that he had growing out of his skull, and he just kept them folded up under his ‘do most of the time, maybe it was because some of Namor’s blood instead of Wolverine’s was used in making the Serum. Which would mean Steve could theoretically fly. 

I like the idea that Steve could fly but didn’t tell anyone, because when he does his little headwings flap frantically and it just looks silly. 

I wrote fic for this; I couldn’t help it. 🙂

Chrysalid

I very rarely take selfies, but today I felt a mighty need. Sam, this one’s for you. :DDDD

copperbadge replied to your photo: GOD DAMMIT

I’d like to add that I’m really warm, comfortable, and my arms are free of lots of layers so crafting is easy. Also, it cost me like $4 at a charity shop. AFFORDABLE AND PRACTICAL.
