Had a thought. Had a lot of thoughts. And then remembered a thing. And then found the thing.

I wrote this post about characterization and Steve Rogers two years ago, expressing my joy at the movie and my rage at Avengers!Steve. At the very bottom I wrote

I hope the next Captain America movie rectifies his characterization.
and boy did it happen. ( Read more... )

No, but seriously - I need to get this out of my head and sort it out.

The only Marvel movie that ever had me fired up to write shit was Captain America: The First Avenger. Not Iron Man, not Thor, not Iron Man 2. It's CA:TFA. I was still riding that high when The Avengers rolled in a year later, and what turned me off MCU and fandom for the next ( Read more... )

My brain has been a disaster since I saw Desolation of Smaug and started playing Skyrim in earnest. A terrible white Euro fantasy disaster.

I have a lot of Tolkienfic-related hangups. Like, my middle/high school years are super formative in that the opinions I formed haven't changed all that much. Okay, I'm warming up to shipping in the ( Read more... )

And it has nothing to do with the post-in-progress about some shit that went down in July.

Admiral Marcus did not exist in a fucking void.

So many questions about how these fuckers wrote Jim Kirk ( Read more... )

Common sense tells me I should write a Trek fic or ten as a way to cope with the massive feels in the wake of STID. Common sense also tells me I should not bite off more than I can chew, as I still have a lot of fics to finish. There's the common sense telling me to sleep right now and the common sense reminding me that RL comes first, fandom ( Read more... )

Because Tumblr should not get all of my blog-y posts...

Of all the questions that came to mind as I was leaving the theater, this one stood out the most:

why in all of space and time did these bloody fuckers decide to shoehorn THAT character into a plot that would've done just fine without it!?

Uh, spoiler alert?

( spoiler alert! )

No, I'm not watching the show. I'm not writing new fic or drawing new things. I'm finally finishing editing that 2010 Dean/Cas Big Bang fic so that I can post it on AO3 and wash my hands of the fandom ( Read more... )

Mood and creativity upswing hit around the same time as spring. Seasonal Affective Disorder is starting to look very likely. I should go back through my archives to see what my mood was like the past couple winters ( Read more... )
