"... “I’m taking action because I feel desperate,” said U.S. climate scientist Peter Kalmus, who along with several others locked himself to the front door of a JPMorgan Chase building in Los Angeles. A recent report found that the financial giant is the biggest private funder of oil and gas initiatives in the world.

1. Hi, I hope you and all your mods are doing well! I know that this is a Wangxian blog but I was wondering if for one of your “I’m in the mood” posts if you knew of any where SL and XXC raise a-Qing? or if not if you could direct me somewhere that could? Thank You!! @wolfletkaider

2. Hello mods! I have an “in the mood for…” request. I know that typically, fandom tends to write about wwx and the jiang siblings as being true adopted siblings, but I’m curious if there are any fic where, instead, there’s a clear differentiation between them (i.e. where the jiangs do not see wwx as their brother, and vice versa)? thanks!

@ayanaacorn: ‘ There’s another fic recommendation page called pocketsfulofrecs which focuses on fics with canon characterization, and mostly not Jiang family friendly. You won’t find adopted WWX in any of their fics. They have good recommendations! ‘

3. Hi! I’ve been searching for a particular kind of story, any recs greatly appreciated. A modern setting where Wei Ying leaves the Jiang family and sets out on his own. Not one where there’s tearful guilt ridden reunion with the siblings or take Jiang Cheng’s angst with a laugh and Yanli’s guilt tripping tears. One that he ends up making a life for himself and maybe meets Lan Zhan later or not. Anything like that or close is most welcome, thanks! :) @ficstooread

7. Hi! I love your work. I can’t tell you how many great fics I have read because of your efforts. So to the question, do you know if there are any fics where LWJ gets together with WWX only to have his heart broken when he sees him with someone else later? @aranei-eisel

It’s a great idea and I’m sure it’s going to develop into a great resource! 💚) I’m looking for hurt/comfort fics where the hurt and comfort are both directed at lan wangji. Setting doesn’t matter, doesn’t matter who administers the hurt or comfort, doesn’t matter if it’s emotional or physical.

16. I just remembered that Yibo once mentioned in an interview that he thought modern LWJ might be a traffic cop and WWX would be a marketer/telemarketer or receptionist, are there any fics out there with one or both of these concepts? Like WWX meets LWJ at a stop light on the way to work? Or as a receptionist? Maybe calls him as a telemarketer?

+more text post infodumping on what’s going on behind the scenes

Sorry for the wait! I feel like I fell into a pit last month...a Marvel pit, that is. Sorry y'all, but in August all I read and rec was Tony-centric stories! Thank you to all the Team Iron Man writers out there! This fic rec includes 17 fics starring WinterIron, IronStrange, FrostIron, and Misc.

WinterIron

1. Still Waters by @tsuki-chibi | i love this author so much - Tony is a silver fox - why do people stand up for Wanda again? - AU of Ultron - 12k

James didn't know what to think when he stumbled across an older version of Tony Stark who claimed to be from the future. He had no idea that agreeing to help Stark to stop the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver would change everything.

2. Classic Sci-Fi by @notdoingsohot | Steve is a bad friend, but we knew this - Loki's a bro but not at all - '40's Bucky is cute af - all the feels - 18k

Bucky wakes up to Steve telling him he's lost his memory, but not to panic, it'll only last a few days. Easier said than done when the last thing Bucky remembers is fighting Hydra with the Howlies in WWII.

He tries to make the most of it however, and there's this guy... Tony Stark. It's pretty clear the guy hates Bucky's guts, which is unfortunate because god damn is he a sight.

He tries to figure out what he did to wrong Stark, but everyone just tells him he doesn't want to know.

3. Changing Fate by Wix | time travel - it's technically pre-slash but it's gay - everyone needs a hug - tried but true trope - 27k

Tony dies in Siberia under the hands of Captain America, but fate doesn't leave it there. He opens his eyes several years earlier amidst the threat of Loki's invasion and the first assembling of the 'Avengers'. Tony may not understand why he got this second chance, but he's going to do better with it - and he's decided that he's going to share it. With a Winter Soldier who could really use a different hand than he was dealt.

Never let it be said that fate doesn't have a sense of humor.

I won’t lie, I’ve been completely spoiled by KinomiAkai on AO3 and pretty much all the ones I’ve read so far are theirs hahaha. So I’m pretty much gonna list my faves by them LOL.

Enter Naruto - My number one. I’m currently in the process of reading this 100+k fic for the third time, now in book form bc that’s how much I love this fic lol. It’s a college AU about falling in love and everything is. soft and tender and fluffy and i die. i die, anon. NSFW

Something Good - Modern Office AU where Sasuke helps Naruto deal with the death of a loved one. Hurt/comfort galore. NSFW

A Night of Poor Choices - Dog person Naruto meets video game developer Sasuke and they hit it off immediately. NSFW

Long Enough - Modern AU oneshot where Naruto suddenly realizes he has feelings for his best friend Sasuke, who has been pining for Naruto for 10 years. If you like friends to lovers this is for YOU. NSFW

Two Lifetimes - Canonverse time travel fix-it fic. Extremely good and cute!!!

The Best Best Man - Modern AU, Naruto is the best man at Ino and Sakura’s wedding. Established relationship idiots in love fluffiness galore.

A Hostage Situation - Canonverse post-war Sasuke “kidnaps” Naruto so he’ll stop overworking himself. Sasuke introduces Naruto to gay poetry, The fic i didn’t know I NEEDED.

Online - In which Naruto and Sasuke are internet friends. I love this one so much more than I expected to lol.

Those are my faves -  I haven’t even read all their stuff bc I wanna make it last!

they jump ✨ for @ichirukimonth

Today we’re gonna talk about Inoue Orihime and her real purpose in the narrative of Bleach. As originally thought out by Kubo.

For a disclaimer I should mention that I am not Kubo, so I’m not stating anything as a fact. This is what I personally think and I’m gonna give argumentation for this opinion of mine. If you don’t agree then you don’t agree. I have nothing against it. 

This post is also going to be heavily filled with manga pages and panels

Now, shall we begin?

Orihime’s orginal purpose as a character was to serve as “subtle” way for Kubo to convey to the reader Ichigo’s feelings for Rukia

I should probably mention, that Orihime’s fans won’t like it. So, if you are one, maybe..you shouldn’t read this…Or you can, I’m not telling you not to. Just, a little warning.

OMG another aomomer out there... in a year 2020 😭💕💕💕

I Would

This one was so cute, bye, now there's a quote from it living rent free in my head

The Snow Queen

So this one is basically what got me back into aomomo in the first place, so putting it out there, loved it (even though it's the 1st person pov, it's v good, I was wary at first, but the author Delivered. Also the autor was like YOU NEED TO READ THE OTHER PARTS OF THE SERIES. and I was like. No <3)

Lucid

Not me recommending the second 20k words fic in a row but <3 it was güd, the exquisite teikou angst... do I need to say more?

For a pretty girl

Just a cute lil story, if you are not in the mood to read those 20k monsters

distance between midnight and daybreak

This one really leans into daiki-is-whipped-for-satsuki territory, I've got to say, it's a guilty pleasure of mine :'>

• hydrate it by drinking lots of water

• eat dark chocolate and blueberries and walnuts and salmon and other foods high in antioxidants!!

• play little brain games on your phone; I like wordconenct! anything that makes you think!

• read books. It’s simple but necessary. Even better - join a book club, or read with a friend, so you can have discussions after. This will improve your reading comprehension.

• do puzzles - it doesnt have to be sudoku, I love playing Beat Saber on the Oculus Rift because it makes my brain have to match colorful patterns to physical movements very quickly!

• learn a new dance - even a tik tok trendy dance. Learning new dance moves are proven to strengthen synapses!!

• go bird watching, or foraging, or anything outdoors that requires you to explore pattern recognition and visual searching

• watch a movie with the intent of analysis - this is best done with a cinephile friend!! talk about tropes and symbolism and character growth

• cross stitch, or sew, or do anything that requires matching nimble hand movements to patterns

• play or learn an instrument!

• develop a consistent sleep schedule (or as close to consistent as you can get!)

• when eating, try to identify the ingredients and flavors you’re perceiving!
