Jesus, fuck...

Like, what do I need to do to catch a damn break?

As some of you know, I had my right wrist repaired 6 months ago, and everything is good. Clean bill of health, back to work full time, back to working out full time, back to LIFE in general.

Then, I go hiking.

Three weeks ago I biffed it on a hike, landed wrong, smacked my left elbow and dislocated the shoulder I had repaired 21 years ago.

Like wtf, T? Learn to walk, girl.

So I go to the doc's because I'm a grown up and this is what we do, and she has a look and says, meh, I think it looks okay, but let's take an x-ray just to be sure and send you back to the sports therapist who looked after your wrist.

Great, fine, a little physio and I'm right as rain, right?

Wrong.

X-ray is a hot mess, and long story short, part of my humerus may be dead.

Yup. Dead.

I have an urgent CT booked for next week, and then follow ups with a surgeon if needed. If I have to have surgery, they have to do a bone graft from my hip.

If I was a horse, I would have been shot by now.

What the hell? See this is the kind of shit that happens when i take a break from tumblr, the world goes wild.

Hope things start looking up for you. Much love (sorry ive been gone. Having a real job sucks)

I think it’s time to bring back FuckingGinger™️.

Oh, nothing special. Just got my dream job today.

IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU CONGRATS!!!!!

the sheer offensiveness of rereading something you wrote, discovering that, hey, it’s actually pretty good, and then reaching the end, wherein you realize that if you want more you actually have to write it

fuck’s sake 

writers will look at their own WIPs and be like “is anyone gonna finish that” and then close the tab

I feel called out and i dont appreciate it XD

Hey @fingersnthumbsbaby...

Just realized we've not been introduced to Mr. March yet?

Meet Mr. March, @naughty-teddy-innit - birthday month called for a special one.

*Dreamy sigh*

After all (chapter 18)

(Stucky x reader)

Story: You’re at a low point in your life when you start sharing an apartment with Steve and Bucky. All you wanted was a roof over your head but you soon grow attached to these men and learn that you’re not the only one who’s struggling with the past.

Warning for the entire fic: eventual smut (M/F, M/M and M/F/M). Ptsd, mentions of physical abuse, depression.

There will be lots of fluff too, I promise ;)

*****

This chapter: Life after Brock.

This is pretty much all fluff because they deserve some fluff, plus a tiny hint of explicit language.

Word count: 2979

(Go easy on me, I haven’t written anything in over a year so I am very much out of practice. I hope I still managed to stay true to these characters and do them justice)

After all (chapter 18)

Brock was gone. 

It was hard to grasp at first once the adrenaline of that night had worn off. You were free now, safe, at last ready to move on with your life without having to be afraid any longer . Being able to go out alone felt amazing but you still kept the taser in your purse and you still looked over your shoulder as you walked the streets. Old habits died hard and even though the reason for your fear was no longer there the fear itself wasn’t so easy to get rid of.

Keep reading

So excited for this to continue 💚🧡💚🧡

You know maybe amatonormativity exists but it's hard to say that when I'm 90% sure gay people were not being encouraged to seek out relationships by the wider culture until maybe 2005-ish

what's amatonormativity?

A Tumblr-based sociological theory that boils down to "compulsory alloromanticism" but I've also seen it defined to include monogamy as another expectation under the header of amatonormativity

Amatonormativity is not tumblr based- it was not created on tumblr nor was it popularised on tumblr. Amatonormativity was not even coined by asexual people or with asexual people in mind exclusively. 

Amantonormativity was coined by feminist academic Elizabeth Brake in her book “Minimising Marriage” to refer to:

Amatornormativity doesn’t just affect asexual and aromantic people. Whilst it’s often asexual and aromantic people you see talking about amatonormativity (because we become hyper aware of it due to how it affects us), it actually impacts the lives of people of all orientations, including LGBT+ people.

Amatonormativity in practice is…

And much more…

Also the way turning down a request for a date, while single, is often viewed as some sort of terrible insult instead of an analysis of poor compatibility.

Also the idea that it’s wrong to break up with someone unless they’ve done something objectively terrible enough to “deserve it” rather than because the relationship isn’t doing anything for you.

It also encourages people to stay in abusive relationships because it pushes being in a relationship is the highest priority/being alone is terrible.

Also....

“I'm 90% sure gay people were not being encouraged to seek out relationships by the wider culture until maybe 2005-ish”

Yes.

Yes, they were.

They were encouraged to seek out heterosexual relationships.

You can’t uncouple Amantonormativity from Heteronormativity. One is built into the other. Heteronormativity means there is one right way to have a life, and that way is being straight, is falling in love, being monogamous, is complying to certain standards of beauty, it’s being white and thin and abled. 

ALL of those things go into the ideal norm that is oppressing ALL OF US. It doesn’t matter in WHICH way you stray from the heteronormative ideal --- if you’re polyamorous or if you’re gay or if you don’t fall in love or you love while disabled. ANY WAY you stray from it is punished. 

Amatonormativity is not just “you must fall in love.” It’s “You must fall in love in the right way with the right person.”

So yes, amatonormativity is absolutely linked to heteronormativity.

And, as ace-and-ranty hinted, it is also linked to the supremacy of monogamy. Amatonormativity also excludes all forms of polyamory.

It also has something to do with why gays successfully got gay marriage before they got, say, “federal protection from discrimination in adoption cases” or “the right to be gender nonconforming in public school”. People who think it’s weird to see a man in a dress can still wrap their head around “he wants to marry the man he loves” because all you did was swap the expected pronouns.

Amatonormativity does pressure people into heteronormative relationships, but it also exists within the gay community and allies, to place a monogamous marriage to a same-sex partner above, say, a polyamorous polycule, or an asexual living with a queerplatonic friend.

Pairing: Bucky x Reader

A request made by @hailhydra920 !! Thank you so so much! 

A/N: Hello everyone! Finally, this request is able to be introduced! As this is a first request for me, I really want this to be great! This is more than likely going to be a multiple part type of work, and I hope you truly enjoy it!

Summary: A last minute, dire mission has fallen upon Y/N, Bucky, and Steve to stop one of Hydra’s deadlier directives. However, the way to go about it demands some new, but embarrassing tactics in order to directly stop Hydra.

Request: “Bucky X reader where a Hydra agent dressed up as Santa and Bucky has to fight him, but the only way he can get close enough to “Santa” is dressing up as an elf. Thanks!”

♫ two bros chillin in an air plane, five feet apart cause they’re not gay ♫

steve: our mission is to rescue hostages

natasha: no that’s your mission
