are... they named after the streets in chicago? I AM DELIGHTED (please send them my love and regards)

They are! Dearborn and Polk is near where I live. It cracks me up because people from Chicago are like “BAHAHAH THE STREETS!” and people who aren’t are like “Why is one of your cats named after a president?”

hi, your cats are perfect

I AGREE.

I would like to attend this con, looks much more restful than my usual con

Well, everyone gets the zoomies at 3am at this con, but otherwise yes it is a very mellow event.

We dont even know which of your many, MANY horrible takes this is about, and that's a shame. 8D

EXCUSE YOU all of my takes are hot, fresh, and correct!

I honestly backread my tumblr quite a bit when the ask came in, looking for a post where I had expressed my opinion without being asked. It was remarkably difficult to find and I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad one.

PLEASE TELL YOUR GIRLS I LOVE THEM

They know. THEY LOVE YOU BACK. But like, from under the bed, because you are a strange human. :D

Sam, her nose is so GOOD

AGREED. It’s also very soft when she lets me pet it.

Your daughter has an astonishing bone structure. Those cheekbones! Also, adorable freckles.

oh yeah. i took a two hour saturday nap, have barely been productive, but cleaned a bit and made dinner and am gestating two (TWO oh fuck) human beings... so other than feeling like a total lump i'm doing ok...

TWINS! Congratulations AND sympathies :D

Augh Sam I didn't need my feelings today. I finished this ficlet and burst into tears it hit me so right (and feels so good given our current climate). Also now inquiring minds want to know: what's Kamala studying and writing her thesis on? :P

I hadn’t thought about it! I just figured she did college, took a year or two off to work at a not for profit somewhere, then went back for her master’s. Either that or she’s got a jump start on her doctorate. 

Probably political science -- Kamala’s got a real activist bent to her life philosophy :D But she seems to be a pretty acclaimed fanfic writer, so perhaps she’s doing a writing MFA, or something in Lit or Rhetoric. Or possibly Media Studies -- that would be very helpful for a superhero.

I like the Mrs. T's frozen ones, but that may be because I've never had any freshly made ones. I will admit to struggling a bit with the preparation of the frozen ones (they seem to turn out a little wierd, no matter what I do), but they're still tasty. I mean, potatoes and cheese and a bit of dough, what's not to love?

I’ve had homemade ones by a very good chef and they are exceptional, but Mrs. T’s are good too! I find the best way is to boil them at as low a boil as possible and then pan-fry them. But I’ve also had good luck cooking them like potstickers -- pan fry first, then add a bit of water and steam them with the lid on the pan.

I flipped past this before actually reading and thought Steve had proposed and needed Sam written as husband on legal documents. I maybe need a nap and to not speed read so much XD

this is the first im hearing about hydra kate bishop...?? what on earth is that about.

A very unpopular and ill-advised decision, that’s what :D 

In the Ultimates Spider-man comic, where Miles was Spider-man in a non-616 universe, Kate Bishop showed up as a student at Miles’ high school. They started dating and she was almost immediately revealed (to the reader) to be a lifelong member of Hydra -- ie, her parents were Hydra and she was raised in the culture. Her father ultimately tried to flip Miles to Hydra, which, LOL, and then Battleworld happened and the whole thing was rendered moot anyway. But because part of the goal of Battleworld was to seamlessly integrate what remained of the Ultimates line into 616, they obviously couldn’t bring a duplicate Kate Bishop with racist totalitarian politics along when they transferred Miles’ boarding school and BFFs and parents to the 616. So apparently his relationship with Kate now never happened.

I can’t wait until he meets Kate in this universe (it’s bound to happen sooner or later). I hope whoever writes it is aware of what happened and makes a huge injoke out of it.

what the FUCK is up with hawkeye's wierd mask/face thing in Ults? Scared the crap out of me

That is the mask he chose to wear after someone posing as Steve Rogers slaughtered his wife and children. (Yay Ults *finger twirl*) If it’s any consolation, it’s totally meant to be double-plus creepy. For a while there was a subplot to the main comics where basically Clint disappeared into Hawkeye as a way of coping with the death of his family. Then quite suddenly he appears to have forgotten he ever had one and returns to normal.

my dance teacher was pretty strict on having to take ballet if you wanted to take ANYTHING else - i had to fight for three or four years to get to take modern and jazz without ballet

that is such a lovely thing to do! my husband (then boyfriend) annotated a copy of american gods for me back in the day, it is one of my most treasured things :)
