girls don’t like boys girls like the starship enterprise

I guess boys can come clean then. They like the Starship Enterprise as well. Let’s stop pursuing each other, and instead pursue peace and acceptance of all sentient life so that we can boldly go where no one has gone before.

What if we don’t like starship enterprise? What if we don’t like space?
Space is scary. Life is scary. Life in space is terrifying. I will boldly go hide in a cave with my tin hat thank you.

c’mon bones it’ll be fun

2) Spock

y’all wanna know what really gets me? how emotional steve + bucky become towards each other over the course of the three cap movies. even if you don’t ship them romantically you have to acknowledge the fact that bucky is the driving force behind everything that steve does, even if it’s in some small, seemingly inconsequential way. they care so deeply for each other and after everything that’s happened to both of them they need each other

like you’ve got that scene in catfa where steve rescues bucky and even in his messed up state bucky, still grins up at steve like he’s the most beautiful thing he’s ever seen. bucky says ‘let’s hear it for captain america’ and when steve turns around to look at the crowd bucky looks driven to tears, as if he’s asking what has the world done to you, my love?

in catws steve would rather die first than fight bucky to the death. steve knows in his heart that his bucky exists within the winter soldier, somewhere buried deep and hidden away. steve drops his shield and stops fighting, because no fight has ever been worth the danger of losing bucky. i mean you are my mission / then finish it, ‘cos i’m with you till the end of the line come on

in cacw steve would literally fight the entire world to keep bucky safe. bucky has seen enough, done enough, and he’s trying to escape the confines of his own mind. the apartment scene, where steve is begging bucky to trust him on nothing other than human instinct; you pulled me from the river. why? / i don’t know / yes you do and bucky does, because not even decades of ice and brainwashing can erase the way steve makes bucky feel

Here are some scientific facts about blood loss for all you psychopaths writers out there.

This is actually very nice. I like the soda bottles as reference. (I remember when I was writing ‘Wizards of Ceres’ how I had to do a similar soda-bottle conversion to try to work out how much blood Fai could drink from Kurogane without killing him.)

On  the topic of vampires incidentally, this basically means that there is no reason why feeding from someone should necessitate killing them, unless the vamp can chug two soda bottles worth of liquid in one go or carelessly leaves the bottle open when they’re done

@fieldofclover thought this might come in handy for, you know, vampirey things

Ooh, I like this! The bottles as a reference makes it quite easy to picture mentally – especially since, having previously experienced just how much mess a litre-bottle spilt on the floor actually makes, it gives a better idea of volume etc.

Incidentally, as a frequent blood donor myself (thank you, haemochromatosis), and thus being more aware of the volume of blood donated at each session (the average appears to be 450ml, or 0.45 litres per blood bag filled) and needing to know how long it takes red blood cells and plasma to recover after donation–

about 24 hours for plasma, and up to 8 weeks for red blood cells themselves, which is why the average length between donations is 12 weeks, to ensure the body is well recovered by the next donation (which is also why I was so fucking tired after having to donate once a month for the first three months of my treatment)

– I ended up doing a bit of reading re: blood loss, but this really is the best imagery for it I’ve seen without bogging down into too much science stuff.

Other crucially important facts relevant to vampire porn I have learned: 

  • yes, you can get an erection after donating blood, as the body generally maintains blood pressure equilibrium even if the volume of red blood cells per liquid ml is lower, though if you lose anything more than half a litre you’re probably gonna find it a bit difficult; 
  • erythropoietin is a funky chemical involved in converting stem cells to red blood cells which your body produces when you need more of ‘em, so if we’re going with the standard ‘vampire saliva is an anticoagulant and narcotic stimulant, and/or induces arousal’ conceit, it probably makes sense that said saliva introduces a similar compound into the human blood stream in the post-feeding stage to encourage their food to recover quickly for a repeat feeding, usually while licking the wounds left behind;
  • your vamp is probably gonna have a really full belly if they try and drink more than the average 450ml or so in one sitting. Blood is quite a bit thicker than water or soft drink; it’s more like drinking a hearty broth or soup. Can you imagine attempting to chug a litre of pressurised soup as it squirts into your mouth with considerable force? No thanks!

tl;dr the science behind blood loss is fascinating, especially in a vampire context, and the government agencies monitoring my search history probably think I’m a serial killer

@audreycritter was it you who was looking this up for a fic last week?
