Human Rights Protest Circa 1935

Happy FFWF! Lets play a find the word game: Valentine's Day Edition! Find any of these words in your WIP, and post the part where they appear: pink / red / heart / valentine / chocolate / ribbon / love / friend / partner / boyfriend / girlfriend / husband / wife / couple / date / kiss / card / candy / dinner / flirt / snuggle / soulmate / together / always / arrow / candle / rose / beautiful / handsome / hug

I got the first and it's actually pretty much at the start to a WIP I'm working on that I have yet to post C:

“Hi,” Bucky greeted, fidgeting nervously under Clint’s assessing gaze and inadvertently trying to hide his left side from view. “Hey,” Clint offered a soft smile, pulling his long hair into a ponytail and checking that the magnets of his cochlear implants were still firmly in place almost automatically. The motion was just as much to get himself more comfortable as it was to set the other man at ease, as Clint revealed his own disability. The gesture didn’t do much, but it was enough to release some of the attention from Bucky’s shoulder and let him take a more natural stance that revealed what he had been trying to hide. “Come in, I promise I don’t bite without asking first.” Clint chuckled, waving the younger man over with a playful wink. The joke relieved some more of the awkward tension in the room and Clint’s patient gesture was enough for Bucky to move where he was still frozen in the doorway. “I... Sorry...” He muttered, the blush colouring his cheeks turning from rose to bright pink. “It’s okay,” Clint assured him gently, leading the way along the hall to a small but cosy living room. “This is a safe space, which means you get to be as shy or outgoing as you happen to be.” Bucky just nodded quietly, sitting down on the couch a little stiffly when Clint offered.

Why Flight Edition? Well - January 5th is National Bird Day! Why? "National Bird Day is a celebration of the wonder of birds and a time to raise awareness about the many threats that bird species face on a daily basis. Birds have long captured the imagination of humans as they effortlessly soar through the skies. It is no wonder that so many people have become either professional or amateur ornithologists (people who study birds). While birds may seem to live carefree lives, many of their natural habitats are under attack. Additionally, poaching and the illegal wildlife trade threaten many bird species. With these factors in mind we need to do everything that we can to protect our birds and their environments." [1]

Basically.... Because they're beautiful and majestic creatures, and we didn't want to lean into the whole 'winter' theme again, because it's not winter everywhere! So... Take Flight! <3

My favourite bird (uh, today-) is below the cut... Look at this majestic boy-

The resplendent quetzal lives in tropical forests in southern Mexico and Central America - and their population is decreasing. They've been given 'Near Threatened' status. Look at that fuzzy little head, and that MAJESTIC tail!

I like birds.

Writing Reflection

After getting into writing last year I went mildly to totally insane this year. I wrote more than I even thought possible, already upped my writing goal in January after writing like 30k on WIPs alone in two weeks, only to then end up hitting my yearly writing goal in September anyway.

I got into Podfic this year and it has brought me a lot of joy to work on recording and editing, as well as to participate in even more challenges and exchanges than I did last year.

Once again, I met a lot of lovely people and had a great time writing and simply enjoying fandom with people I like to consider friends by now.

There were many ups and downs, but I'm glad to say that, over all, this year was a good one for me.

I hope you had a good year as well and wish everyone a good start into the New Year. 💜

Tagging: @stripedscribe @ravenmold @cnwolf-brainrot @mutuallyprime @flowerparrish and everyone else who sees this and would like to participate!

The Reporter and The Lawyer - The Devil and the Protector

Title: The Reporter and The Lawyer - The Devil and the Protector

Pairing: Matt Murdock/ Eddie Brock

Rating: Explicit

Word Count: 2333

Warnings: Graphic Intimacy

Summary: Matt picks up a strange man in a bar. But when he takes him home, the evening turns even stranger.

Created for:

@slashmultiverse Daily Pride Prompts: 2: "Formal Wear", 3: Threesome/Moresome

@anyfandomgoesbingo / Square(s) Filled: "Threesome"

Since my own Jonathan is so much OOC he is basically an OC himself, I gotta ask: Do you have any vampire/immortal OCs (or if you don't, who of your OC's would turn into one for whatever reason, be it survival, power, accident etc 👀)

I do actually!

I have a lot of Immortal OCs! Valus, Judge, Cedric, Mako, Cicero, and my Horror monster duo can live forever.

I did, once, have a vampire OC. I haven't been using him, but he exists. His name is Aramastus. He was an older man, lots of tattoos, definitely a dilf. But I stopped playing DnD so he stopped getting used. I only have 1 Pic of him and its a commission. I bought it from Aperns on Artists and Clients :)

What's that? A new mod, you say?

That's right! Many of you know and love @42donotpanic (and if you run a bingo yourself, you'll definitely be familiar with the name...), and now they're a part of the team! Hopefully this will ease the pressure on us, and we're super grateful for the help! They're already churning out cards at a ridiculous pace!

Welcome aboard, Panic! It's great to have you!

The ladies love Long Long Stilt-Man and so should you! This three card Casanova is only available in "The Cards Without Fear" - now available for pre-order! Stilt-Man is just one of the fan favorite characters we chose to spotlight in this set, and now you can bring him home and display him proudly so everyone knows you're a true Stilt-Head.

Check out our pre-order for this one of a kind Daredevil card set, benefiting the ACLU.

[img id: A scolling video of three trading cards in a vertical line. The cards depict the feet, legs, and body of Marvel comcis character "Stilt-Man" struggling against Daredevil's billy-clubs. /end ID]

You can't prove me wrong because I'm not wrong. :gumpy: /lh
