Today I was reading an Avengers fanfic -- as in, set during the movie -- with switching POVs and encountered an author's note that said for Steve's POV they weren't going to use contractions "because they probably didn't have those in the 40s".

...

WHAT THE FUCK.

Like, do the tiniest bit of research! Watch a movie from the 40s! Hello, listen to some music! Louis Jordan recorded Is You Is or Is You Ain't My Baby? in 1943. The song Isn't It Romantic? was in at least 5 movies between 1932 and Steve shipping out!

PICK UP ANY PLAY BY SHAKESPEARE, YOU WILL FIND CONTRACTIONS IN IT, THEY PREDATE THE 1940S BY A LOT!!!

Or, if you can't be bothered with even the tiniest bit of research or thought, fucking watch the Avengers movie. Steve uses contractions. Or did you somehow miss the infamous, "Son, just don't."?????

*flails around in aggravation*

kiffie: Kate: Okay, this is pissing me off -- why the futz aren't you a hawk?
eliyes: Crow!Hawkeye: Because then it wouldn't be significant that I have eyes like a hawk?
kiffie: Clint: *Rennergiggle*
eliyes: Crow!Hawkeye: "Hawk", they'd call me.
eliyes: Kate: ...fair point.

Namore the Sub-Mariner, daughter of Atlantean princess Len and human ship-captain Ferdinand McKenzie
Bertrand "Bertie" Dean, NYPD cop
The Human Torch, aka Jane Hammond, NYPD cop
Zina the Flaming Girl, aka Thomasina Raymond
Bucky, aka Jemima "Jemmy" Barnes (people think Bucky's a boy)
Captain America, aka Stephanie Rogers (people know Cap's a woman)
Union Jack (II), aka Jonathan "Jack" Falsworth (his sister calls him Jackie-boy)
Destroyer, aka Brianna Falsworth
Dyna-Mite, aka Rachel Aubrey

Okay, so Namore was a typo of Namora, but you know, I kinda like it? Can we keep it?

Title: Roger Aubrey and the Gingerbread Menace
Timing: Present
Summary: Expanding on the gingerbread men thing previously mentioned in Yule: Preparation Is Key.
A/N: Please note that "expanding on" is not the same thing as "explaining". ;3


( Roger Aubrey's Christmas tree decorations had a clear theme: gingerbread men. )

This fic was written Christmas Eve, 2012. :D

Check out the highly memorable (well, maybe not to the drunk superheroes) Alpha Flight Christmas Issue!! (They have probably had other Christmas things happen since the 90s. I don't care, they will never be as good as that one. Which is sad.)
(P.S. Warning -- male strippers and 90s art.)

And then admire these awesome Northstar & Aurora stockings!

If Alpha Flight isn't your cup of cheer this Christmas (or even if it is!), then let Annie Lennox bring you ( glad tidings of comfort and joy )

Happy 24th, all.

THIS HAS BEEN MY DAY

Things this morning:

♦ There's a notebook page of point-form headcanon for Bucky & Toro & music in front of my monitor. It's in my handwriting. I remember thinking all this stuff... I don't remember writing it down. o_o

♦ While I was asleep, a friend sent me an AIM message asking "is there a love thing between magneto and prof x?" After considering all the possible interpretations of the question, I just sent back "yes". Maybe when I'm more awake and we're both actually online I will try to explain a complicated comic book relationship older than my mother. X3

♦ There is Generator Gawl fanfic on my flist this morning! :O *flails arms around*

♦ Why do I keep trying to write stories from Living Lightning's pov? I've never even been able to track down the books he was in. (Except that one page of Great Lakes Avengers.)

The guy in the song could be Bucky or Clint or Ivan or basically any man who ever thought he loved her.

( Keeping in mind that one of her codenames was Black Pearl )

Title: Nihon No-go
Fandom: X-men, pre-M-day
Author's Notes: Okay, so the title makes more sense if you know that in the Japanese language, the language itself is called Nihon go. Puns awaaaaaaaay!


( Alex pov again, I'm not sure why I keep doing that... )

Title: Team Movie Night: Parallels Peril
