I’m not sure which photoset you’re talking about, but cool? :)

a short summary, or the long one:

The Hipster Iain Specs of Sex Movement began with theradiointukyshead‘s innocent post wondering what Iain would look like with hipster glasses (She soon lived to regret that, as it is, after all, Iain.)

Then:

It escalated to a picture.

Other people started jumping in.

Then Liz got added, and it became applied to Fitzsimmons, not just Iain.

Introducing: Beautiful Hipster God, Professor Leo Fitz!

one more I can’t think of a caption for

Then Hoang Anh wrote this incredible fic, Love is Mainstream (Turn the Radio Off), in which our dear Leopold Fitz is an accidental hipster and meets Jemma Simmons the hipster.

In the city you need to watch where you’re going, or you might walk into a post, a mailbox, a stranger, or worse, your future girlfriend.

And then of course, it actually happened. In canon. I still can’t believe it.

So there you have it. The Specs of Sex.

Next author to rec: typhanni or as she’d known on ff.net and Ao3, notapepper; here’s the page of her stories.

Prompt: The night before the wedding, a clown in training meets the ghost of Ernest Hemingway.

Read it on AO3 - but only if you’ve already read A Few Tricks Up My Sleeve

I'm not the biggest fan of babyfic either, but sometimes I want to try one because, you know. I've actually been pregnant. And have a child. So I feel like I'd have a better grasp on it. But meh.

Go for it! Though I have no experience with it, I’m SURE there are a lot of babyfics out there that get it all wrong because the author isn’t experienced with it, either. I’m sure you’d do great! (I prob won’t read it but I <3 you anyway!)

hahahaha oh NO, I'd be super annoyed by that! (the worst is untagged MC death, though!) but yeah, I just basically won't ever read it - except for maybe one or two drabbles I've reblogged. I also find myself doing fantastic cartwheels to find ways to make it clear that it isn't happening in my own fic, lol. like, rn I'm working on one where eventually there will be sexing in a magical kingdom that's ~the same time period as 150 years ago and I just... I have yet to figure out what narrative calisthenics I'm going to do to make it so that there's no chance of pregnancy, lol.

Oh yeah, untagged MC death should be punishable by banishment from the internet forever. I’m just lucky enough to have not come across that very often (seems like something that doesn’t happen much in our fandom at least).

And I think you answered your own question with MAGICAL KINGDOM, no? Is there no magic warlock who could bless the main characters with the gift of no babies?

just thought i'd pop by and say i wasn't really thinking about fic at all when i sent that (because i'm very picky about baby/pregnancy!fic actually). more just like, in general? but if that's not your thing, it's not your thing and that's cool.

Ahh yes makes sense! Yeah, just not my thing, though I know lots of people are into it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But yayy I know we have plenty else in common!

Yep. I do read it, but there are a lot of tropes I like better (and I 100% agree about surprise untagged pregnancy in a fic -- it's not untagged major character death, but it's still not a cool move)
