There's a new critter who's just moved into the compound. Please ignore him if he attempts to bum a cigarette from you. He's trying to quit, and the second-hand smoke aggravates Ginger's asthma something fierce. Please don't enable his bad habits!*
*He knows where the smoking section is. He's just not willing to pass the Kraken to get to it.

Although I guess it's more of a problem when it's the WInter Soldier being featured in the fics.

The main jossing is in the backstory. All those fics about how they were in an orphanage together are now wrong. But I don't care! I don't! I want all the 'us against the world' orphan backstory fics forever more. I can't get enough.

Oh nonnie. I remember that scene starting and just covering my mouth with my hands, then turning to my friend and hissing Bucky's parents are alive??? at her afterward. I was so scandalized.
I guess that's just the way these things go, though? You can draw assumptions from 616 or from supplemental materials or from the stupid First Vengeance tie-in comic all you want, but what happens on the screen is what goes. I'm still irritated, though. The earliest anyone can pin that scene at is 1936 (with costuming making 1938 seem more likely), meaning Steve's, what, eighteen at the youngest? Bah.
The entire fact that Bucky has a safety net in the form of a family makes me unreasonably sad. I'm not sure why they had to change his orphan backstory from the comics for the MCU, especially just for a throwaway line. I'll just have to keep dreaming of orphanage hijinks and destitute underage teenagers scraping by all on their own.

Other than the romance of the orphans against the world trope and the idealization of being poor, that scenario doesn't offer nearly as much. It just encourages the lazy writing and claustrophobic codependency that everyone is always railing about on meme.

I ended up being introduced to quigonejinn via a random fic of hers I thought was really good. Then I skimmed a bunch of her other fics and discovered that they're all essentially the same, and the fic I initially enjoyed so much was no longer any good to me. Her ao3 account is just a mountain of grimdark deviod of any sort of substance.
Plus, a bunch of nonnies on meme linked to her tumblr once and she's so fucking rude and obnoxious. You'd think someone who writes as much non-con as she does would lean away from sjw bullshit, and yet...

I think her earlier Iron Man fic has more originality/variety in them; one of them is an all-time favorite of mine. But her view of Bucky is more grimdark than I prefer; obvs he was not a freaking angel, but she pushes it too far in the other direction for my taste. Same goes for her Natasha.

Not only is the grimdark content of her fics totally same-y, but her writing style is the exact same set of gimmicky affectations for every. Single. Fic.

/entitled whining.
(I mean, I get why people want fluffy fix-it fics. But I just want to see him suffer. IS THAT SO WRONG?)
