Sillytimes! There is such a thing as domestic avengers on Tumblr, which is...um...domestic Avengers. Tony/Steve with Peter Parker as their son, Clint/Bruce, stuff like that. It is adorable and awesome and I highly recommend it.
This wallpaper is based on this gifset specifically. I can't recommend hemsworthss enough, just in general. :)
easily amusedUm. Some of these are pretty old, I think, because of my thing about having 10 fics to rec. *hands* Whee!
another gorgeous thing that should not have happened by ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.2){kind=small}
postcardmystery and gyzym. Zombie AU, still-powered, Charles/Erik and Logan/Scott. It's...at first I wasn't sure I was going to like the style, but then I got sucked in. It's haunting.
The Life of the World to Come by emilyenrose. Feferi/Sollux and The Condesce/ψiioniic. Juxtaposition between their relationships.
A Sailorman's Hymn by VastDerp. Signless/Psiioniic. Signless finds Psiioniic long after they've both died.
PROMSTUCK by shelby, urbanAnchorite, and Cephied_Variable. Johnkat with a little Kanaya/Rose and others. At the prom. Completely adorable plus art!
Ashes by OtherCat. Non-Sgrub AU where the twelve have led a successful rebellion, killed the Condesce...and find her Helmsman.
The Five Times Clint Barton Proposed to Natasha Romanov (And The One Time She Said Yes) by eiluned. I love this Clint. Love-love.
Let Go by eiluned. Clint/Natasha. BDSM, consensual.
The Only John Wayne Left In This Town by gyzym. Clint/Darcy. Clint loves his banjo. No, he really does, and this is really good.
Stillness of the Mind by tju_tju_tju_tju. Tony/Bruce. Tony is all about science...and boning Bruce.
Margot's Room Not fic, but a comic, and brilliantly done.
ETA: I forgot to mention, the comic works like this: you choose things in the picture to click on, based on the text. So "First he gave me flowers," means you start with the dried flowers on the wall, etc.
fullThere's something different about these people...

I seriously loved the dynamic between Clint and Natasha in this movie, eve though they spent v little time together on screen.
And I know I might sound trite, but I do love the way Joss Whedon writes women, so Natsha was quite lovely. I was so, so worried. The femme fatale that uses her feminine wiles...that could have turned out SO BADLY but it didn't.
okay
all_unnecessary. bradhicks about The Avengers.idiosyncratic at Heads up!
calmI literally woke up with a killer headache at 7am on Sunday and it hasn't stopped. Laying down makes it worse. So I am still up! And I made my first wallpaper of the year. :o What is this even?
I ♥ The Avengers. This can just be Loki and Thor or, if you're into that, it can be Loki/Thor. I made two, one with text, one without.

“Entitlement.” We hear that word associated again and again with student protesters in Quebec. Usually, it’s preceded by the words, “sense of.”
“They think someone owes them a living,” disgruntled critics harrumph. “Wait until they get into the real world.”
Setting aside the fact that this intergenerational hectoring dates back to Socrates, let us ask: Who exactly is making the charge? Quebec has had low tuition rates for a half century. That means almost every living adult in the province, having already been afforded a plum goodie, is now wagging his finger at the first generation that will be asked to pay the tab. So who really is entitled here?
hano.)Schools are full of middle-management types. They like to take "learning walks" around the school and "quality control". They sit at the back of my class and want to know if the students have been told their "learning objectives" and if they are sat in a "seating plan". They believe that learning simply cannot take place if the students haven't been told what to do and where to sit. What you might consider real work: comprehension, creative writing, silent reading or a class questioning the teacher about the topic being studied is considered hopelessly old-fashioned and slightly abusive by my superiors. Instead they like almost anything involving power-points, scissors and glue. All work for students needs to be scaffolded. That means be done for them. The very notion of giving a student a task they might fail is considered child abuse. Every task must be completable within about ten minutes.
Poor Tony. He's so much smarter than most people, he feels like they don't even speak the same language. I love the way he gravitated toward Bruce because they can talk to each other and Bruce can understand him. And I love the way he's suicidally accepting of the giant green rage monster.
Um. I really don't see spoilers in there, so I'm not going to cut my ridiculousness. Let me know if I'm wrong...?
thoughtfulmisslynx. (Background: Little A is misslynx's adorable 4-year-old, who for some reason really, really likes me.) Hi [sabotabby],
[Little A] insists that he wants to send you an e-mail. Despite the fact that he can't actually write yet. So don't expect much in the way of coherence... But here goes:
kfgjjgjhiy7ujkyhi86o76jyh8g76y97otjho7y5i5omuj6y7k7uli76upy uki96ky6jkjihkjbikjgkgjllkhyjug,lftjur,k g.tkkyiohiopugyguugytoiyio9ygo9yoh 96090790p665909y069y55u8tk98u99i9riui4e9 y0
He says what he was trying to write was "her address, and all her neighbours' addresses, and her door number."
"Anything else you'd like to say to [Sabo]?" I asked.
"I do love her," he said. "I love her, and I love the chalk drawings of Cthulhu and the shark. Where the shark is saying 'Yum' and Cthulhu is saying 'Don't even think about it'." He then started singing happily "Don't even think about it, don't even think about it, don't even think about it..." and then got distracted by a bag of cat food.
Just thought you'd like to know...
