Waking You Up

fuckyeahjohnlockfanfic:

John dies and Sherlock blames himself, so much so that the guilt begins to affect his life. However, he keeps getting dreams of John talking to him and assuring him that he’s not dead.”

I didn’t even make it halfway through this story before I was crying. Oh dear! This was horribly sad! What killed me the most was all the talk of John’s death being Sherlock’s fault, he was so distraught and lost and then to keep jabbing me with it being Sherlock’s fault just ugh. It was beautiful, Sherlock’s slow decline into insanity was brilliant and heartbreaking. The ending though, I feel like I should have seen that coming and I didn’t! I think it was all my emotions clouding my judgement. I still hurt so much after reading that. All I can think about it how sad it made me but putting that aside, it was good. The writing was very good, it was in character but left some room to play, and had a great concept. My only complaint is the lack of Mycroft, but I guess I can see why he’s not a big part of it in a way. I can’t say why it makes sense without spoiling but you’ll understand. Overall a really good story. I think I’ll read it again when I want to cry! Make sure to have fluff ready for after!

inscarletsilence: vengerturtle: hellotailor: Bruce and Tony are the only two Avengers who, upon first meeting, actually like each other or have anything in common. Tony is a man so desperate for people to talk to on his own intellectual level that he built himself a sentient house for company. Bruce is an academic who had to abandon his research and go on the run, alone. Everyone who meets either them has already pre-judged them from prior knowledge of their mistakes and disasters. — The costumes and characters of The Avengers. Part 2: Tony Stark, Pepper Potts, and Bruce Banner. #myself and this person have the same theories re: bruce’s clothes in the last scene #in that they are totally tony’s #natasha hands him his bag AFTER that scene where would he get clothes that nice #literally they are wearing matching pants guys there is NO WAY IN HELL those came out of bruce’s closet #bruce ”i only own one suit and it’s from the goodwill” banner #bruce ”i’ve been living out of a backpack for half of my adult life” banner #is wearing a perfectly tailored summer suit slacks and a seersucker shirt #o ok yesssss also this: And even after they’ve got to know each other, Tony is still the only character in the movie who doesn’t treat Bruce with trepidation and distance — partly because Tony is still kind of self-destructive and enjoys poking at things and/or people until they blow up, but also because Tony is the only one who really understands Bruce as a person (as opposed to “that guy who sometimes turns into an unstoppable killing machine”). And he’s the only one who trusts that Bruce will show up to help the other Avengers fight, the result being the Hulk’s first moment of altruism: saving Tony’s life.  first of all, kindly let me fling myself into the sun rather than feel these bruce/tony feels.  SECOND. ABSORB THE FACT THAT TONY MOTHERFUCKING STARK TAUGHT THE HULK THE MEANING OF FRIENDSHIP AND TEAMWORK. The article is fabu.

yesssss

also this:

And even after they’ve got to know each other, Tony is still the only character in the movie who doesn’t treat Bruce with trepidation and distance — partly because Tony is still kind of self-destructive and enjoys poking at things and/or people until they blow up, but also because Tony is the only one who really understands Bruce as a person (as opposed to “that guy who sometimes turns into an unstoppable killing machine”).

SECOND. ABSORB THE FACT THAT TONY MOTHERFUCKING STARK TAUGHT THE HULK THE MEANING OF FRIENDSHIP AND TEAMWORK.

Fix-It: a story of some Coulson, some doughnuts, and some fixing.

erebusodora:

 It was very wise of you to decide to return. (…) There was something inappropriate in your absence.
- Max Frei, ‘The Volunteers of Eternity’.



-=VOCABULARY=-

FIX-IT (fandom term, adj.) - a descriptive epithet for a fan fiction, that fixes something in original, canon version of mentioned events. E.g., fiction can fix marriage, romantic notions, unreleased tension.
Or even death.
COULSON EVENT (fact) - also known as Schrödinger Coulson; the only thing in Marvel’s The Avengers you can really spoil.
DOUGHNUT (noun, specific) - also known as ‘donut’; a type of fried dough confectionery or dessert food. Symbolizes peaceful eternity in its sweetest form. Fondly associated with better side of Jörmungandr in some religions.

Worked on this for nearly a month, on my own, after the working hours; still, I hope my lack of time didn’t have way too much influence on the quality of the finished story… 
Anyway.
I feel like I need to mention my working soundtrack.
These songs truly helped me in painting this))

Nina Hagen, “Right On Time” [listen here]
The National, “Mistaken For Strangers” [listen here]
Esben and the Witch, “Marching Song” [listen here]
Abney Park, “Evil Man” [listen here]
Katzenjammer, “Land Of Confusion” [listen here] 
Soul Coughing, “Unmarked Helicopters” [listen here] 
Tom Waits, “New Coat Of Paint” [listen here]

THIS IS FUCKING AMAZING! 

I WANT TO SPEND MONEY ON THIS! MONEY GIVEN TO THE AMAZING ARTIST!

EXCLAMATION POINT!

Just watched Justice League: Doom at the behest of my brother…

My thoughts during the movie:

-No capes!

-Why didn’t they fight each others enemies?

-J’onn would have been great against Bane, just saying. 

-Batman’s a dick, but he makes a good point.

-Could Flash just vibrate Vandal Savage’s particles and push him into the ground? My brother said they should have given Flash a cleaver and seen how far Savage would smear.

The beginnings of the American Revolution, simplified

  • BRITISH EMPIRE: All right, fine, your stupid embargo worked. We won’t levy any more taxes-
  • AMERICAN COLONIES: Huzzah! Time to get drunk!
  • BRITISH EMPIRE: Except on tea.
  • AMERICAN COLONIES: What?
  • BRITISH EMPIRE: Get over it, it’s just tea. Seriously, where do you get this idea that you’re special and should never have to pay taxes? We hope that idea doesn’t go on to infect your political discourse centuries from now.
  • AMERICAN COLONIES: We’re not buying your stupid tea.
  • BRITISH EMPIRE: Are you being serious right now? What are you going to do, just stop drinking tea?
  • AMERICAN COLONIES: Yes. We’ll drink coffee.
  • BRITISH EMPIRE: Do you even know what that is?
  • AMERICAN COLONIES: No, but we’ve heard it’s good and we’re feeling surly.
  • BRITISH EMPIRE: Fine, whatever, we don’t even care what you do anymore.
  • BRITISH EAST INDIA COMPANY: Actually, we are pretty much bankrupt, so you need to make them drink the tea.
  • BRITISH EMPIRE: Oh, for—just drink the tea.
  • AMERICAN COLONIES: No.
  • BRITISH EMPIRE: Do it.
  • AMERICAN COLONIES: NO.
  • BRITISH EMPIRE: Drink it.
  • AMERICAN COLONIES: Fuck you.
  • BRITISH EMPIRE: Drink it or we’ll punch you in the face.
  • AMERICAN COLONIES: *Boston Tea Party*
  • BRITISH EMPIRE: What the hell?
  • AMERICAN COLONIES: We heard it was Indians.
  • BRITISH EMPIRE: That’s interesting, because we heard it was a bunch of colonists wearing paint and dressed in costumes that were remarkably similar to what a crowd of drunks who wanted to look like Indians would assemble if the only supplies they had were found in an alley behind a bar.
  • AMERICAN COLONIES: You get all types in Boston.
  • BRITISH EMPIRE: …*Coercive Acts*
  • AMERICAN COLONIES: Oh, it is ON.
