never mistake my kindness for weakness; nobody plans murder out loud

My mother reads my FB updates and then sends me text messages about them. Oh, mum, that's not how it works...

Rec: Did I rec this art? Last year in the snowflake_challenge, I mentioned I wanted an Art Nouveau graphic of Maria Hill, wielding a weapon, and Dylan_m provided one for me!

o.O

It is BEAUTIFUL and you can see it (and kudos it) here at AO3: Rebirth.

Ooh! Just found an unidentified link in my 'links list': turns out it's a "host or attend a dinner for new Australians in your area" project.

The Welcome Dinner

I've signed up for my area. Not sure if or when something will come up, but I'm pretty good at outreach.

Anyone got questions for my March Meme? I have a couple so far...

LOL - my mom texts me about emails she sends. (although to be fair, I don't respond to emails very fast)

So glad to see so many people doing the snowflake challenge!

[tielan]

I can't really remember how it went last year, but it's been really amazing this year...

[kore]

That is GORGEOUS Maria art. Wow.

[tielan]

I know! I wasn't expecting anything so gorgeous, so getting this was just lovely!

(I want so many art pieces of Maria. So. Many.)

[kore]

(also that's Steve's jacket in AoU, get it Maria)

[tielan]

IT SO TOTALLY IS STEVE'S JACKET.

[kore]

YES YOU SEE HIM WEARING IT EARLY IN THE PARTY SCENE

THEN LATER IT IS DRAPED AROUND MARIA IN HER SLINKY DRESS

HOW
HOW DID THAT HAPPEN
WHERE IS THAT FIC, FANDOM

[tielan]

THERE ARE MANY FICS ON THIS. (You just need to know where to look. Let me go find them for you.)

Oh, and while I'm at it, check this out: I can't believe I never saw this piece before!

[kore]

OH YES PLEASE

Oh wow, that's great!

[tielan]

I made a rec post. :)

And, seriously, sometimes I despair of fandom - if it had been Bucky, Natasha, or Tony, fandom would have gone berko over it. But because it's a female character who isn't billed as sexy, nobody can be arsed. GRARGH.

[kore]

YES! Thank you so much!

....heh, more berko left over for us, amirite?

[tielan]

Well, speaking as someone who's been shipping this pairing for 4.5 years with rather fewer reliable producers than are present members of the MCU Avengers roster...I'd just as soon the berko got shared around some. :)
