//Okay, y'all. I plan to do what's left of my drafts for Bucky and Loki (chaos-and-cunning) this weekend. Maybe Friday. Maybe Saturday. Unless the weather ends up being nice for hiking either one of those days. In which case I'm taking my cat hiking now that I finally know what hiking trails in the area are pet-friendly.* Regardless, though, I'm going to try to have them all up by Sunday evening. There's a few that are going to require me reading back through the thread. It's been a bit.
*(Yes, my cat - one of them, anyway - is leash trained. It is, contrary to popular belief, possible to leash train a cat. She loves outside. She will absolutely drive me up a wall if I don't take her on a walk every day or if she deems said walk too short. What I haven't had a chance to do yet, though, is take her hiking. She does great in the car, too, so I've been wanting to do that. Maybe a couple miles of trails will actually be enough to wear her out. Half the time I would swear she's on speed...)

//So fun fact for Munday, because why not. If you're a Criminal Minds fan, Q's backstory should look vaguely familiar. That's because I basically stole Penelope Garcia's backstory for him. Q has no canon backstory. Buuuuut... Garcia is canonly a young computer genius, among the top six hackers on the planet, who is very secretive about her past and her personal life. Q is also canonly a young computer genius, among the top six hackers on the planet, who is extremely secretive about his past and his personal life. So. I just changed his ages when he hit certain life events and changed the manner of his parents' death to account for the fact that he's deathly afraid of flying and is from London (where traffic is hell).
//Hello guys.  So as I’ve probably talked about extensively, I’m a grad student and an instructor.  It is a crazy time of the semester.  I have, currently, three threads I’m replying to here on Bucky.  If I owe you a reply on a different thread, I have not forgotten about it.  I will get to it.  When life is hectic, I often give preference to people I talk to frequently OOC, simply because it’s easier to bounce ideas and therefore generate replies. Â
We’ve got finals week approaching, so life is extremely hectic right now.  Once finals are over, I intend to go home, which will likely mean limited replies for a week or so.  I have graduation for my master’s program the Friday after we finish here, and then I’m helping my sister move into a new apartment that weekend.  I’m not sure exactly when I’ll be home, but I’m taking the summer off due to burnout.  So I should have a bit more free time and should get back to regular replies.  Thank you guys so much for being patient with me.
//I don’t plan on leaving, but I would be completely unsurprised if Tumblr starts trying to take out the fandom community entirely. So, in case my account disappears, some other places to find me:
Wordpress: precisedesolation.wordpress.com (I’m also archiving my tumblr to this page.)
Discord:Â clearsight#0916
I know I’ve said in the past I’m not comfortable doing a discord drop, but considering the way this sort of thing has gone in the past and the fact that I use that account pretty much exclusively for RP and talking to people I know through RP, I’ll make an exception.

//This seemed like as good a place as any to write this, seeing as Bucky Barnes was a war hero and POW from WWII. He fought Nazis, and even before that he defended his disabled, Irish Catholic best friend who was the son of immigrants at a time when there was high anti-Irish and anti-immigrant sentiment and a movement for eugenics. So I can only imagine what he would think of what's going on in this country right now.
I would say he wouldn't recognize this country as it stands today, but unfortunately it would be all too familiar. Instead of anti-Irish sentiment, it's anti-Latino sentiment. Instead of anti-Semitism, it's Islamaphobia. There is overwhelming anti-immigrant and anti-refugee sentiment. Anti-LGBTQ laws and court rulings have been popping up everywhere. And misogynistic legislation and terrorism is on the rise.
We literally have Nazis and white supremacists marching in the street and the government says nothing to condemn them, let alone stop them. Police act more like Gestapo, killing citizens with no legal recourse. People deemed "undesirable" by the government are locked up in prison camps. Our president attacks the free press and calls for censorship of those who criticism him. And supporters of these things cite religion to excuse it.
Unfortunately, Bucky would recognize this country all too well. It's the one he fought to change. It's the one he grew up defending his best friend from. It's the one that considered both of them second class citizens. And the path we're on is careening ever closer to death camps and ethnic cleansing. So I think he would most definitely recognize it, and it would be just as horrifying to him as it is to me and so many others.
//Hello all! It’s been approximately three million years! I am hear to announce that I have found a thing (if the thing seems to work well after like a week trial period I will share the thing) that I can log into all my accounts on the same browser. Since, you know, they decided to do away with basically the one good decision they ever made regarding tumblr mobile wherein you could log into multiple accounts at once. So I’m going to make an attempt at pulling these guys off of hiatus. It may take me some time, but you know. So I should be back if all goes as planned!
//Hi guys.  So I realized that I have been basically absent from this blog for like a month now, despite my constant claims that I’m coming back.  So basically what’s happened is that I moved at the beginning of the summer, immediately left for fieldwork, had to come home early from fieldwork due to the financial burden of moving, my job fucked me over so I had financial issues during the end of the summer, then the school fucked me over so the last two weeks before I started back were trying to figure out how I was going to actually have the funds to stay enrolled.
All of that is solved at this point.  However, I have started the new semester.  I am currently losing my mind just slightly.  This is the semester that I am writing my thesis and applying to PhD programs, so it’s already hella stressful.  I am pretty sure I actually have an ulcer.  Like not exaggerating, I actually think based on the symptoms I have had and the things that have helped versus the things that have made it worse, that the stress of the summer and the start of the year may have given me an ulcer.  Also, my immune system (which sucks at it’s job to begin with) has basically taken one look at all of this and gone, “Nope, I’m out.”  So that’s where I’m at right now.  Sick, tired, stressed, and both excited and terrified for this semester.
And all of that comes back around to this blog.  This is precisely why I have the things listed on my about the mun page that I do.  I am placing this blog on a semi-hiatus.  Meaning I will come by and answer things when I can, but I won’t be around much.  If you want to find me, I will be active over on my Doctor Who blogs.  (The main blog for that set is just-kept-running.  All of them are also listed on Bucky’s nav page.)  I’ve been a bit selective with my replies there, but if people from here come over there and want to RP, I will probably be up for that.
The long and short of it is, as much as I love Bucky, I do not have the mental energy for him at the moment.  Nor do I have the time to actually devote to his source material.  That’s the thing about this fandom versus the Doctor Who fandom.  I was raised in the Doctor Who fandom.  My father is a huge Whovian.  So that has been part of my life forever.  By contrast, I got into Marvel via academics when I was in undergrad.  Also, the Whoniverse is fucking massive.  And then there’s the EU.  The extended universe.  Because the normal universe isn’t big enough as is, what with 54 years of the show.  No, there’s also novels and comics and audio dramas and a myriad of other things. Â
And it’s that last bit that has really got me staying over there.  Because there are very often audio books of the novels.  And the thing about audio dramas and audio books are that they are audio only.  Meaning that if I feel like shit and am just laid out on the couch with no energy, I can just put in my headphones, close my eyes, and be told a story.  If I am in my car, I can listen to a story during my commute.  (And I practically live in my car, so.)  If I am working on something that doesn’t require my entire focus, like cooking, I can listen to a story.  I cannot do this with the comics and movies that make up Bucky’s source material.  This is why I have so damn much muse for the Eighth Doctor right now - probably 98% of all his material is from the EU, a lot of it in the form of audio dramas.  And even his one major screen appearance I’ve seen so many times I can recite half the script, so I don’t actually have to focus on it to keep track of what’s going on.
Bucky, as much as I love him, is not like that.  Loki, as much as I love him, is definitely not like that.  So I am still going to be on Tumblr.  But my Marvel blogs, along with my Bond and London Spy blogs, and my Supernatural and Good Omens blogs are going to be on hiatus for the time being.  I’m really sorry to everybody I’ve got threads with right now who I’ve just sort of left hanging.  I will reply when I can.  And thank you to you guys for putting up with me and my inconsistency.  Especially to those of you who have stuck with my through past hiatuses.  You guys are fantastic.
