give me something else to think about

[tielan]

So, I just wrote a Tumblr meta about how Civil War could have been vastly improved with a dose of Maria Hill and some emotional stakes in it.

That's two hours when I wasn't thinking about how much my skull hurts, or my jaw hurts, or how I'll never play a game of hockey again, or all the things that are feeling really really dire right now.

I'm having trouble concentrating on fic anyway.

Maria and Steve are sitting in an office discussing the 'Secret Avengers' project in one fic. Part of the problem is that they have a lot to say to each other and they're saying none of it. (C'mon guys, use your words! Use my words. Look, I'll even give you an 'emotions' word for free!)

Maria is about to invite Pepper for a girls' night out in another fic.

I've just made up Asgardian mythology out of wholecloth for a third fic. Hey, it's no less fantastical than Darcy Lewis developing a cult in Wakanda who think she's a goddess, and, I think, rather more reasonable. (To say nothing of less racist.)

I'm staring at NPT, and Franzi&Gecko's exchange, and EveryWoman and thinking "what have i done?"

I missed het_bigbang, but managed marvel_bang and I have no idea what I'm going to do or how I'm going to do it.

It would be nice to read a book, but I've read everything I have a dozen times over, and am waiting for all my favourite authors to put out their next story. (Waiting, waiting, waiting.)

Man, if the Panadol are wearing off this fast, I'm going to be really pissed. That was two tablets, only four hours ago.

Is the Maria & Pepper fic for a Maria Fic Fest prompt?

Why not read some of the quality Maria/Steve fic that's popping up on AO3?? ;P that's not even funny.

No, not for a fic fest prompt. The fic fest is turning out pretty much as I expected, which is to say everyone prompts and nobody fills. :(

I've been thinking "what have I done?" with all the fics I started for NPT. Apparently when I said I was going to write all the things, I meant it. Now I just have to finish it!

I have treat lists, but i haven't even started my assignment yet. *sigh*

Wait, someone actually wrote a story about Darcy being worshipped as a goddess in Wakanda. I try to keep an open mind about what others choose to write but....do people even think?

[tielan]

Oh yes. Yes, they did. It has hundreds of kudos as all these white American woman think it's the BEST THING EVER.
