“Oh, for fucks sake—”

Is not the appropriate reaction to your boyfriend of ten years on his knee, presenting a glittering ring to you after nearly pounding you into a blissful coma.

But after seventeen times it gets annoying.

“Can you give a man a moments rest?” Brock complains.

Jack grins, wily and full teeth. “Gotta hit you when you’re weakest; all strung out and cuddly after a good fuck.“

“Trying to trick me when I have cum-brain?” Brock asks. 

“I like to think of it more as post-nut clarity.” Jack quips.

Jack may have wrangled him into a (mostly) monogamous relationship kicking and screaming, but marriage is where Brock draws the line. But it doesn’t matter how many times Brock has said no to his proposal, Jack is undeterred. He’s a man of iron will, steadfast, persistent, patient, and with an audacity that doesn’t quite fit his reserved nature.

“So…?” Jack insists.

Brock just glowers. He reaches over with agonizing slowness and gently closes the lid of the ring box with a deafening click.

“No.”

Jack doesn’t yell, or cry, or even frown, none of the normal emotions one might project after rejection. No, he laughs.

It’s nothing like his first proposal. Disappointment, but not surprise. Just quiet acceptance. Brock had after all made his position on marriage extremely clear long before that.

The second proposal didn’t come for a long time after that. But that time, he took Brock’s rejection as a challenge, emboldened by the fact that although he wouldn’t agree to marriage Brock still intended to stick around. The third time could have passed as a joke, and ever since his proposals have taken on a teasing nature. Like it’s an game between them. Brock expects that one day he’ll propose in public just to embarrass him.

Jack shrugs. “Next time, then.”  He’s still grinning, and Brock has to resist grinning back.

“No next time.” Brock whines.

You did not waste your year.

If you made it this far, that’s already not wasting your year.

You made it through the year, you laughed, you cried, you smiled, you saw the sun and felt the rain, and most importantly, you’re still here.

You did not waste your year.

DUDE.

YOU SURVIVED A MOTHERFUCKING

Guys, trauma is not the only reason to enjoy dead dove do not eat content. You don't need trauma to justify liking it. You don't need anything to justify liking it. You can just...like it. I get the point of those posts is to stop people from harping on others when they might be digging into said trauma, or harassing others for their coping methods, which is definitely wrong - but let's be clear in our intent and not alienate people that are just here for the fun of it. Let's not make people think they need a reason to enjoy what they do.

there is a real, valid, profitable part of the human psyche that loves dark shit when it’s in a situation we can control

what do you think is the appeal of roller coasters? danger, controlled

One of the first women to start her own independent production company.

Earned her way to stardom without sleeping with executives for roles.

Refused to date people for publicity just because 20th Century Fox wanted her to.

Left 20th Century Fox because she refused to let them get away with treating her badly and paying her a tiny wage, just because of her “dumb blonde” image.

Was only paid a fraction of her co-star’s wage even though she was the star of the movies and the biggest box office pull, but still went ahead with the movies because she was so passionate about acting.

Studied method acting at the Actors Studio with Lee Strasberg, who said that she was one of his best students along with Marlon Brando.

Had a personal library of over 500 books and rarely read fiction - she was desperate to learn and educate herself.

Was sexually abused as a child but then went on to encourage the sexual liberation of women in the 1950s. 

One of the first people to speak openly about sexual abuse.

One of the first people to openly support gay rights.

Supported many charities such as the Milk Fund, March of Dimes, Arthritis and Rheumatism foundation.

Donated her time and money to these charities.

Visited orphanages and hospitals on her own time to surprise the people there.

Married one of the greatest literary minds of the 20th century

Suffered two miscarriages and one ectopic pregnancy and still put on a brave face for her fans.

Ella Fitzgerald was not allowed to play at the popular Mocambo, in Hollywood, because of her race. Marilyn, who loved her music and supported civil rights, called the owner of the Mocambo and told him that if he booked Ella immediately, she would take a front table every night. The owner said yes, and Marilyn was there, front table, every night. After that, Ella never had to play in a small jazz club again.

She is grace

Have you ever seen a violinist going APESHIT?!

AU！Captain HydraxJack Rollins

Oh Lord.

Okay, so I genuinely don’t remember how I ended up finding out about Hydra Husbands–because I sure as hell hadn’t seen the movie at that point (and actually I still haven’t)

I do know it started with an a/b/o Rumlow/Asset fic, which was basically just PWP. Then I think what probably happened is that I Googled the characters and the actors who played them, realised I didn’t possess an ounce of interest in Bucky Barnes, then found various images of a tall, good-looking guy who appeared on-screen with Frank Grillo in multiple scenes…and the rest, as they say, is history.

But I probably can’t tell you why I like these characters and this ship so much. I’m not seeking to work through past events in my own personal life through them or scenarios they feature in; I don’t get tingly feelings in the cellar imagining the actors together. I don’t particularly enjoy stories which are (as a friend once perfectly described them) written to satisfy a thirst, a kink, which reduce the characters to a) boring sex objects b) a coloring book of stereotypes c) something mindless, simple, and superficial.

I value complexity over simplistic conflict, and this ship can be rife with that complexity. Their motivations; their desires; the impact their actions and lifestyle have on them individually and together; the age difference; their status as commander and subordinate… 

Please keep sharing, and also I’m free to beta!
