normally I don’t notice when people are in my tags reblogging stuff but you just accidentally reminded me that O Human Star exists and once again I am losing my absolute shit about it

Your cat looks exactly like mine, & he would absolutely do this, so maybe this cat is bilocating between Chicago & Minneapolis?

Especially when they were kittens, they would disappear for about an hour a day and I began to assume they were teleporting alien cats. It’s entirely possible.

Tell me more about this vinegar sauce

It’s delicious and very easy! 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup butter. Simmer in a saucepan until thickened (it takes a while, you’ll know it’s thickened because the white from the butterfat disappears). It’s kind of like a super tangy ketchup, kind of like a sweet balsalmic dressing. I’m using it to drizzle over bbq chicken and mashed potatoes in lunches this week. 

As far as I can tell my mother invented it, though I’m sure she took inspiration from somewhere.

I loved Kavan Smith on SGA and Eureka and I am THRILLED to hear he wrote a plotless postmodernist Hallmark movie and I am also going to find a way to watch this.

“What the fuck does that mean?” Barton was still wedged under one of Thor’s massive biceps, but he was getting enough air to be loud. “If he’s dead he’s dead, what the fuck does too early to say mean?”

“It’s complicated.”

I honestly cannot believe this one isn’t in at least one of these docs, but fine whatever, HERE IS YOUR NEW SENTENCE

Hurt/Comfort:

like sick flowers need the sun by hoosierbitch

Marvel. After Coulson dies Clint is devastated. The other Avengers don’t know how to react to him and then Phil comes back. Hurt/Comfort of a slightly different kind, but I love the portrayal of the other characters through Clint’s eyes. I also wanna give him a hug every time I read this story.

Stand Fast in Your Enchantments by DevilDoll and Rahciach

Teen Wolf. Stiles is taken prisoner and put in the same house as a feral werewolf (Derek). As Stiles concocts his plan to get out he and the wolf get closer. Heartbreaking and awesome.

Angst:

Don’t Care if I Never Get Back by HugeAlienPie

Teen Wolf Danny/Stiles baseball AU, in which Stiles has lost his emotions after the thing with the Nemeton and Danny does everything to help. I love it, go read it, it’s amazing.

Slow burn:

The Stars, Reflected by seki

Noctis has carried a torch for Ignis for a long time, but never said anything because of their positions. After Ignis was assigned to a different station for experience and comes back things get even more complicated. A lot of heartfelt writing and a competent Noct really made this story stand out to me.

Mutual Pining:

Loose Lips Sink Ships by SummerFrost

For the first time in our legal-to-buy-porn relationship, we met last week, and the absolute thrill of the experience cannot be properly explained. I also got to meet piespouse, who I only knew through stories and texts, and holy shit, it was a fucking gift on all fronts. 

In 1999, I was an angry feminist junior in high school, and West Wing showed up to give me hope. There are places where I don’t think the show has aged well, but it was always based on hope, so I will never not want to hug it. 

Somewhere in the first year of the show, HAP and I found each other. We tried to remember how, but we can’t. One of us got the other to beta. Most likely, HAP betaed for me. Anyway, it led to a friendship that maintained through a LOT of changes as we both had experiences and life and all that shit.

We shared a two-minute hug when we met in person. It was wonderful. It was like coming home to a place I’d only seen in pictures. Then, meeting piespouse, it was doubled, because we had been talking so much.
