it has come to my attention that everyone is doing a welcome post here now that is time to dust the old journals after years left unattended, announcing new interests and fannish endeavors, and even revamping this space to cater to new subscribers.

that said, I was wondering if that kind of post would be expected? it wouldn't be a chore or anything.

i'm stuck and don't know where i was going with this

Bucky has a system.

Choose them, chase them, fuck them, toss them.

So far, it's been foolproof and satisfying, no complications, no awkwardness the morning after. But damn if that cute freshman doesn't make butterflies dance in his stomach instead of the usual twitch in his crotch—that usually ends in adding another name to his conquest list.

He blames the adorable cuteness of those pouty lips, and the cute perky butt in those tight, tight jeans, and the natural cadence of those hips as the boy walks leisurely through the campus with a knowing smile... that is directed at Bucky! Oh, God, did The Boy just wink at him?

Bucky gulps and then swallows dryly as he wets his lips, but his focus is ruined when he feels the unmistakable pain of something hard connecting with the back of his head.

"God, you're so pathetic," Tony drawls with a smirk as he shoulders his bag again.

Bucky notices he's the only one with his things still cluttering the table. Bucky opens his mouth with the intention to whine, but Natasha beats him.

"His name is Steven Grant Rogers," she says with a wriggle of her eyebrows.

Steven Gran Rogers—Stevie for his friends, and Bucky counted himself one. If you warped the sense of friend a little to, you know,—stalker—someone that follows you around to learn everything about you make sure no—one comes near you with ill intentions. Like flirting—thing bad happens to you.

(It's a big campus and dangerous things are known to happen to defenseless pretty creatures with perk butts, Bucky explained to an unimpressed Natasha.)

—is a freshman majoring in Arts, taking a special project about Japanese History, whom Bucky has been bewitched by since the beginning of the year.

Bucky pouts, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Well, there's a first time for everything, I suppose." Natasha says, amused and bemused, as Tony takes a better hold of Bucky's ankles. Natasha grunts with the effort of carrying Bucky by the armpits, who is being dragged, literally, to a party.

"But Naaaaat!" Bucky does his best to drawl out his words on that whinny voice of his that he knows Natasha hates, if the low answering growl she huffs is any indication. Bucky tries to crane his neck to look up to an upside-down version of his shorter friend. "Do I really, really, really have to go?" he asks pitifully.

"YES!" His friends reply.

"Fuck, you're heavy!" wheezes Tony. "Also, if I have to answer once more to all your whores about your whereabouts, I'm going to fucking kill her. Him. Them. Whoever asks next!"

"Really Bucky, you just up and left the parties in favor of lurking behind bookshelves at the library. Everyone thinks you're dying or something." Clint explains, leisurely walking besides his girlfriend, hands inside his pockets.

"But Cliiiiiiint!!!" Bucky maximizes on his pouting, so you can hear every exclamation point. "Stevie has an essay about WWII for tomorrow and he was planning to stay late at the library tonight!"

"Really, how do you find all that out?" Tony asks bewildered, his eyes round with a mix of incredulity and disgust.

"Were you standing outside the Japanese History hall spying again?" Natasha frowns down at Bucky.

"N-No!" He sputters hurriedly. Clint, Tony and Natasha stare down pointedly at him. "Kinda. Maybe? I was just gonna ask Professor Philips for help in a project!"

Bucky looks smugly at them, proud of his fast thinking. There's a long moment of silence, punctuated by everyone stopping walking, to make their staring down at him even more pointed.

"Bucky, you don't even take that class." Natasha shakes her head, partially annoyed, long time suffering, in the tone of voice she tends to use when being patient or patronizing and, more often than not, when treating with Bucky. "You are majoring in Engineering."

"So what? I need extra credits."

"And Phillips hates your guts." Tony points out.

"... Shut up!"

leverage plots dump

2019-01-16T00:48:47Z

when i began looking for leverage fic, i had so many ideas. there were the kind like where bucky barnes and eliot spencer are BFF and compare killing techniques over a spread of international cuisine they've just cooked, or the one where i want eliot spencer to be a hunter in the spn universe.

this tiny dialogue exceprt that can fit in a that big fic i'll never write:

“Would you STOP coming in through the WINDOWS, it scares the hell out of me every TIME!” au

"You don't look scared, though."

"What?"

"Your pulse is constant and your eyes are not wide. Your stance is ready to fight, why do you try to make me think you're afraid when you look ready to kill?"

"I- I mean. Shut up, you still need to stop coming in through the windows."

"Where am I going to come through then? "

"….. the door? Like a normal person?"

Scoff, "Boring."

these are not even the tip of the wip!iceberg. the wipberg?

2019-01-15T06:29:02Z

ok so there was this tweet from @jinlili asking for those stories you've always wanted to write but never did for x reason and i said that i had a lot and now i am invested in finding those stories, because i somehow keep losing them, be it by computer crashes or drive/overdrive fucking up my online backups or that time i stupidly deleted my old tumblr and with it all the posts tagged orphan fic that are now forever lost.

so this is also a way for me to keep track of those stories. without further ado, here are some of those wips

1. the first story i remember ever thought about writing was original +snort+ and doesn't have a title, but it has its own entry here

2. i had another plot and my old notebook tells me i titled it "mask the sadness" and it's about a boy who receives a text message from an unlisted number saying "i want to die" and he's not in a good headspace and so answers "so die", but his conscience will not let him sleep that night, so he takes his phone and answers the text saying "you shouldn't send cryptic messages to random numbers, it could be dangerous" and gets a call for his troubles.
"who are you?" asks a girl's voice.
"i could be a pervert" answers the boy.
"are you?"
"i could be"
"... it is you who shouldn't be wasting your minutes calling strangers just to be an asshole. please don't you ever contact me"
and then the boy text her "i want to live."
and so it begins a beautiful friendship and maybe something more, but the budding story gets derailed when we learn the boy is sick and dying and the girl ends up crying at his tomb. the end.

3. there was another one with a boy and a girl wrote a song together through a closed door without ever saying a word to each other all through their last year in a boarding school. the boy is a pianist and the girl a rebel without cause with an angelic voice. but i don't remember how that one ends.

( more under a cut because this got really long )

mellow

2017-06-09T18:09:55Z

do you ever have those weeks where at first you are easily annoyed by everything, when even talking is really too much, so you wrap yourself in muteness and old music and little by little, on short periods of time in some days, everyhing feels soft and yealding and nothing really matters anymore and you are at peace for this brief respite? i kinda feel like that with my headphones on rigth now, everything is mellow and i'm only waiting quietly to go home.

bad mean reviews

2017-06-08T19:25:51Z

i have a dilemma.

i joined an ARC group and i received this book called the phantom light : a phantoms novella and now i have to review it before june 12th but the thing is, i did not like this book. how honest should i be when reviewing it? the ARC group is supposed to give it exposure, but i feel mean when i think what this book made me feel.

here's what i got so far for the review and any help will be welcome into making it sound less mean, because i am actually going to give it 2 stars on goodreads.

"i received this book as an ARC copy for my honest review.

written in 1st pov, we embark into valerie's very confusing journey to choose wether she, as a newly minted spirit, decides to move onto the after life or stay in the cold, grey world she finds herself awakening after dying in a car crash (this in a misguided attempt to convince her little sister it was not her fault she's dead).

the protagonist is a teenager and it shows, especially since after maybe accepting she's dead, valerie can't help but keep pointing out how hot is the grim reaper chosen to guide her spirit or how she keeps saying everything she ever does, is because how stubborn everyone in her life has told her she is.

i actually think it'd be interesting to read after you met the characters in the main story, learning about the origins of a character you've already fallen in love with, but as a stand alone or to read before the first novel, it feels pretty lacking.

though it has an interesting premise, it doesn't deliver, wether it is because how annoyingly repetitive valerie's voice is or that it really has no plot, i don't know."

am i wrong?

2017-04-24T15:30:34Z

ok, this has been on my mind for a while now, but i need a second opinion, because i truly don't understand.

so, my workplace is a viper's nest and everyone kinda hates everyone, but we have to see each other every day like a dysfunctional family and everyone talks behind each others back. with this backstory though, we have the asshole everyone agrees is just a shitty human being of an asshole. he's racist, misogynist, hypocrite, rude, arrogant, and in general a piece of shit.

here's the thing that astounds me, though. because the woman who sits in the cubicle besides me hates the asshole, actually they don't like each other and talk bad about the other and keep bullying each other ( the asshole is pretty much a dick to everyone, but she is her main target), BUT SHE KEEPS CONFIDING IN HIM ALL HER LIFE TROUBLES. like, she actually asks him what's his opinion on her troubles and what could she do.

this because her workplace BFF stopped talking to her and she doesn't tell me about her troubles (not that i want her to tell me, but...), because, and i quote, she feels like i will only nag her and also because i never tell her anything about myself.

i talking about an independent 38 year old woman that studied law, with a secure job and a teenage daughter and a boyfriend, scared about that i, a 31 year old single woman who still lives with her parents, would nag her, as if i could have any reason to nag her about her life choices, but why, oh why, would someone willingly trust an asshole who keeps putting her down with racist and misogynist comments all day long with all her life troubles because she feels lonely at work? doesn't she have friends she can confide in outside this place?

like, am i wrong to be amazed and confused about it? i just don't get it.

first post on dw!

2011-01-08T23:53:57Z

jin's enthusiasm about it is endearing. and kinda blank faced, but beggars can't be choosers.

anyway, dw layouts depress me, which is part of the reason why i haven't really attached myself to it and i can't for the life of me make heads or tails of instructions to prettify this place. and not to lose the habit, i'm here to ask if anyone knows of a place to snack some pretty kattun/kame/jin~~preferably kame or akame~~ layouts. so far, google has failed me, though google usually does.

in other non-news, i've noticed i tend to bemoan and whine about the state of my messy room and my ability to procrastinate when cleaning it. activity in which i'm partaking right now, so, for lack of a plus/paid account i can't do a poll, but options on witty tags for it (because of course you're interested how often i ~~don't~~ clean my room) are welcome on comments.

btw, does anyone here have a jposuki account? i just gone one myself and i'm pretty scared they're gonna kick me out. so i have a ratio watch of 0.17, uploaded like 160 kb and downloaded around 850 kb, less than to weeks on the forum and 4gb behind before ratio watch was supposed to kick in. did i cross some limit?

p.s. mood emoticons on dw suck too DDDD:
