Taserhawk Fic Rec. For those who want human tire fire clint barton. Taserhawk was my very first mcu ship, even before tasertricks.  Most of my bookmarks on AO3 are Clint x Darcy and it was really hard to pick out favourites but these are the ones I love best.

Quite a few of these are almost old enough to start kindergarten, and if they were written now they’d merit AU or Canon Divergence tags.

I have been going through my early Darcy bookmarks on AO3 and ended up Tumblr-diving some of my favourite authors who helped me a whole lot through the havoc of my life that was the 2012 - 2015 era. And mannnn the stories are so good. A warm hug and happiness in fic form.

@nemhaine42 @puffabilly @twistedingenue @imogenpenn Thank you so much for sharing your talent. Those stories were among what helped me cope during a time when I was floundering, and now are helping me step back into enjoying the character of Darcy Lewis and hopefully start writing again.

<3 <3 <3

Let Fulfilment Fuel The Fire is still one of my All Time favourite fics. Every couple of months I’ll pull it out and reread, it’s like a warm blanket. It still makes me cry and laugh, and now I’ve done a Darcy and moved rural it appeals to me even more. @twistedingenue is a genius and I love it so much.

Oh my goodness, thank you. Sometimes, the memory of writing invades my brain – the past couple of years I’ve become an unexpected expert on tractors and my brain will tap me and tell me that Darcy for sure has strong feelings about heavy machinery now. For the record, she views other farmers need to have top of the line equipment as “men sure like toys more than farming” but also has strong opinions on skidsteer brands.

Oh boy, I am crawling out of tumblr lurk mode to say THANK YOU! Stuff like this makes me want to write more things :)

if you would be so kind as to reblog this if you feel insecure about your writing skills.

I thought being insecure was just a prerequisite to writing. Am I mistaken? 

*aggressively raises hand*

That’s just sad and unfortunately true :((

Hey look, I’ve written some popular fics, but I promise you I am a hard core fandom weirdo who has difficulty interacting with people on the internet just like you. Please befriend me!! I love you already!!

Let’s hear it for lurkers

So apparently round umpty-zillion of “people are killing fandom by not commenting” is going around, and I’ve seen a few posts trashing people for lurking/viewing/reading instead of actively participating.

My journal and my fic has always been a lurker-friendly zone. I think lurkers are great and people can fight me on this. Here’s why:

We all started out as lurkers. Or at least most of us did. Come on. I’m sure some people out there must’ve jumped into fandom with both feet and started writing and commenting right away, and good for you if you did! But I sure didn’t. I lurked for YEARS. And even now, though I’ve been in fandom since before Y2K, whenever I get into a new fandom or a new social media platform, I still lurk. I hang out around the fringes for awhile to get a feeling for the place before starting to participate. Back in the mailing list/bulletin board days, it was usually recommended that people do that on purpose, watch and listen and learn the local lingo and social rules before diving in. So you know what? You are not doing anything wrong and you are not doing anything that most of the people you see out there commenting and creating and reccing things haven’t done themselves.

We all have lurker days, weeks, months …. Nobody is 100% “on” all the time. Participating in fandom (commenting, reccing, creating content, and so forth) is WORK. It may be fun work, but it still takes effort! Even if you’re sometimes very active in fandom, then you’ll have life fall on your head or the brain weasels flare up, and you won’t have the time and energy to give. Don’t feel guilty about not being able to give fandom your extra spoons. No one in fandom has a right to demand a single spoon from you that you don’t want to give.

Some of today’s lurkers may be your friends tomorrow. How do I know this? Because I’ve made friends with some of them myself! I’ve had people delurk in my comments to say hi after YEARS of reading my fanfic without saying a word. Which I am totally okay with, by the way. And some of these people are good friends today.

So, in conclusion:

This post is a good way to balance a lot of the “COMMENT ON FIC COMMENT COMMENT COMMENT” stuff that I post here. Content creators will always be happy to receive comments, and comments do in fact breed more content but… sometimes you can’t, and you aren’t obligated to. It’s fine to passively enjoy content for whatever reason.

“I think we cleaned up the town. I’m thinking of staying around just to be sure” | “You’re staying here?”

I have a lot of feels right now. 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️

This is one of my first edits, so it’s not that good. I hope you enjoy it anyway… I mean, it’s still Caralorian :)

At first I didn't want to post this edit because let's be honest it's not really good, that's because I'm kinda bad with perspective and shadows but I'm practising...so this is what practising looks like😅 I also posted the frames of the original scene for those who are interessted🙃
