my inbox is pretty empty which i guess is technically a good thing? idk i like it better when it's full(er), not to the point that i'm scrambling to catch up but.... a healthy balance

pretty happy with my decision to drop ward and aramis at ax still

brad got to talk about the recon fallout a little, i'm excite

anderson and amy are both miserable and sick somehow this pleases me

anderson continues to have the greatest cr and that, too, pleases me

in non-game related news, i would like to play steve rogers more, as i've been saying

but also i just made this account which i think shall have to be for modern day non-powers au

because i crave that

so maybe i'll just continue playing james barnes' issues

wow that is a great journal name

i was pretty surprised it wasn't taken tbh

i thought i'd checked it the first time i thought about making a buck account but apparently not??

in further news, the negativity i've been feeling has not passed entirely, but i've been making a point to just go and do something else or turn off plurk / close the tab and move on

so far that's working out okay, i think

snuggles u

demonology: snuggles right back

would you be interested in playing normal au with me hm hm hm

thehoodedfigures:

i am glad that the step-away is helping at least a little!

oh, smoochies for me

yes c8

how would this normal au work

idk buck went into the army, couple tours in the middle east as a sniper

either until an ied blows up the truck he's in and he loses an arm to shrapnel damage or until he's captured and tortured by enemy combatants or maybe some combination of the two who knows

and then he's honorably discharged, suffering from severe ptsd and trying to figure out a way to get used to living a "normal life" stateside again

wow this sounds awful by which i mean amazing

meanwhile i guess steve used to be small and sickly but eventually hit a growth spurt or started working out or something, and then went into the army, made captain, got out, is now doing something else

he and buck meet for the first time

and fall in love ok

the end

also bucky is an army brat he followed into his dad's footsteps ok

oh noooo although you could also do a thing where they knew each other as kids, steve never gets the serum so he never gets to go to war, then bucky comes back and he's all different and messed up and

steve doesn't know what to doooo

asfdj yes that too but i also really like the idea of, idk, them getting to know each other without the backdrop of a shared history?

i think they'd definitely be kinda different without having had the other to shape how they grew up and stuff, yeah

yeppp

we can work out the details sometime and try a thing! i like the army brat angle from the comics

chinhandsing yes pls

I'd been considering making a historic account and was gonna take that name

ah well

adlsfkj sorry

you couldn't have known

no this is true
