The Young Avengers are for the girls and the gays and they deserve more attention

Chris calling Clarisse Mi Reina, Silena Mi Amor and Charles Mi Tesoro and all them Mi Vida.

Chris especially gets affectionate when he's half asleep. Nuzzling close to them and mumbling compliments and sweet things about them.

Charles teasingly calls him Loverboy, he calls Silena Dove and Clarisse Risse

Silena calls Chris Mon Lapin, Charles Mon Nounours and Clarisse Ma Chèrie

Clarisse doesn't really do nicknames, though sometimes she'll use shortened versions of their names. Like Lena or Beck.

Silena loves getting all of them flustered, teasingly using their nicknames and being affectionate with them

First time she called Chris "mon lapin" He bluescreened

She also knows best ways to show affection to them. Learning very quickly that Chris loves his hair being played with, Clarisse becomes a flustered mess from just a kiss to the back of the neck, and Charles melts entirely if she holds his face in her hands and kisses his face.

Just- them on the brain.

what this fandom needs

more f/f

(a realization about dialogue formatting, from a comic artist turned novelist.)

One of the first things a novice writer learns about speech tags is that they’re part of the “scaffolding” of prose. They should be largely invisible to the reader: use them when necessary, omit them when not, and be sparing in the application of verbs other than “said”. They serve only the function of clarifying who is speaking when it is necessary to do so.

Except:

Sometimes you might want to use a speech tag in spite of the redundancy. The fact that the reader’s eyes slide right over them is an exploitable property. By slicing a line of dialogue in half with a speech tag, you can force the reader to perceive a meaningful pause between two utterances—and the effect is much stronger than you might get out of an ellipsis or an em dash. Developing an intuition for when and how to do this is a huge part of learning to write dialogue, I think.

(And yes: if you ever wondered, this is exactly same the reason why comic artists sometimes “double bubble” their speech bubbles. Same end, different means!)

Please do!

Messaging people for the first time is so hard. What am I supposed to say? Like, "You seem really odd and your blog intrigues me. Do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters?" What! Whatever. I will just follow you back and stare at your blog with my big beautiful brown eyes.

You can literally make anything and anyone problematic if you try hard enough seriously give me people and things and I’ll make them all “problematic” right now.

Dandy dribbles

Am I working on a dandy AU fic? Yes, I am.

one of the best ways i’ve found to combat that inherent depressive pessimism without veering into toxic positivity territory is simply the phrase “i’m open to the possibility”

this particularly works with anything negative i’ve forecasted. “i woke up feeling like shit today, so my day is gonna suck” isn’t a particularly helpful thought, but “it’s a great day to be alive!!!!!” feels hollow and insincere when i have a pounding headache & am running on three hours of sleep

instead i’ll tell myself, “i really don’t feel good right now, but i’m open to the possibility that coffee and breakfast might perk me up a bit.” or “i’m in a lot of pain today, but i’m open to the possibility that my workday might still have fun parts despite that”

sometimes, when your impulse is to slam the door on anything good, but you’re not exactly up to going out & hunting it down yourself, leaving the door open just a crack makes all the difference

Just a reminder that this was an ad in an actual Marvel comic

I mean, *I* wouldn't but I wouldn't bone anyone 🤣🖤🩶🤍💜

I would, however, give you, like, three fake numbers saying they're my friends numbers, just to piss the better off

I’m going to save up for a new motorcycle by running a scam where I bet straight dudes at bars twenty bucks that I can get a girl’s number in under five minutes and then politely walk up her and say, “I just bet that asshole twenty bucks that I could get your number. I’ll split it with you if you pretend to laugh like I just said a good pick up line and then write a fake number on my hand.”

Like, I never understood those kind of bets in those shitty teen movies. Everybody loves being part of a scheme, man. Use your head.

I genuinely think tiktok users are the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet actually

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Yes!! I need to see this

why are all these modern aus for the Odyssey set in a high school. where's the retelling where Odysseus is just a guy lost in an airport who keeps missing his connecting flights home due to a comical series of delays and disgruntled airline employees

I think I'll post, like, the first five or so chapters once I hit 150 pages. What do you all think? Currently on page 130.

@deadandgaysetanta @queen-of-hobgobblers @sherikookami

Ooooh epic girlies (mostly on TikTok) I am BEGGING you to learn the mythology because no. No no no Circe and Calypso are not girlboss. No you do not want to ship the with Odysseus.

Girl I am begging you. Do not call original Odysseus a cheater I am still saying it. Don’t go down this bath girl. Hold my hand and we will read the myths together so you understand
