If you’re ever unsure on if you should leave comments on people’s writing on AO3, just remember that I have made two of my most beloved friends by either me commenting or them commenting on my stuff. Comments are powerful things, man.
Also, if a writer puts in the notes that you can bug them on Tumblr, or email them, or whatever, that isn’t them just being idle. That is an ACTIVE INVITATION. I, for one, LOVE it when people come to my ask and talk story with me. If you ask the right questions, you might leave learning a lot more about a fic you may like. Seriously.
shoutout to everyone who’s still following me through my many changes of fandoms and don’t get pissed off whenever I flood your dash with things you don’t even like. thank you.
i hope y’all know you’re free to reply to any/every single one of my posts (and highly encouraged to). i love getting replies so much and now that they’re back i hope y’all use them! i love to hear what y’all have to say always! 🙂
sad little voice in the wilderness saying “look Steve’s hot and all but SO MUCH CRAZY” like 2Kevr
Meg ilu you know my feels about ur fabulousness but i feel like stuff like this is missing the point? The tl;dr of my feels is let shippers have their shippppppp
poor sam/steve shippers already gotta deal w a literal truckload of sam marginalization and racism and prioritizing the angsty white bro otp (my own otp i love u but u have ur own problems, u problem child) to the tune of 16k+ fics on ao3 like damn we know what ships are valued on a wide scale in fandom and this one ain’t
This post and stuff like it is for sam/steve shippers, really. they need their space to react and explore and enjoy just like everyone else, maybe more bc they are so drowned out and dismissed, and I doubt any shippers want to hear yet more reasons why sam/steve isn’t a thing for someone.
SORRY FOR HAVING A WEIRD DISCUSSION W MY FRIEND ON UR POST GUYS but I wanna make sure I or meg don’t accidentally step on your toes again
yeah you’re right I was a grumpy asshole and I apologize
to clarify I dont have a problem with samsteve as a pairing I just don’t characterize Sam as being willing to put up with Steve’s bullshit – and you know Steve would be full of it – but I should be less yelling about it
I do not promise to be less yelling about stevetonybucky because why the hell would you stick tony stark in with Steve and Bucky when sam is literally RIGHT THERE
Thank you friend I am one of those sad Steve/Sam shippers sitting out there in the cold wilderness with only my blanket and insane cat keeping me warm
