It's a stereotypical Native American image holding out an offering of butter. It's bizarre.

It's an Indian maiden kneeling and holding out a package of butter.

Oh, I don't think at all that Sam would be next. His storyline in the comics is just starting to really rile up the racists (Fox News legit ran a segment about how disgruntled they are that Captain America is targeting ~wholesome American conservatives~ instead of muslims). I would hope that Captain Sam would get a few years to sink in before he takes up the shield, maybe after Sharon and Nat have had a go.

Yes! Thank you!

Uniforms and power play. Anything where someone knowingly puts themselves into a situation where they're powerless and accepting the consequences.

Most kink memes I've been on have at least two freezes per post with a week off between. The last freeze wasn't even a week long.

I identify with Hux, and am here for Kylo topping Hux and Poe topping Hux. Also Leia, Phasma and Rey topping Hux.

Not that Hux never gets to top, but just... Hux being brought low and taught his place.

When you say you identify with him, does that mean you fantasize about yourself being topped by those characters?

I understand that half the time the reboots are shit, and the most interest Marvel or DC has in the concept of a multiverse is it's capacity to suck more cash out of fans. I love multiverses, I don't like the concept being used primarily to empty my wallet, and secondarily to fuck with characters that are awesome and make them crap.

Yeah, that's weird.

da

I see Doctor Freud has joined the kinkmeme. ;D

Tbh, I think it's going to be Bucky. I could see them giving the shield to Sharon only to pander towards fans who want more female superheroes or to prod at DC.

Honestly, whatever happens, I just want Bucky and Sam to have some screentime together because SebStan and Mackie have amazing chemistry together.

Saying someone is being taught their place by being on the bottom during sex has some very nasty implications.

I have tried making prompts for more rare ships or gen, but they're completely ignored. I do wish there was more variation.

Re: Temporary Prompt Freeze

[(Anonymous)]

Unfortunately rarepairs and gen are unlikely to get filled.

Re: Temporary Prompt Freeze

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know if this is what the ayrt meant, but for me, the prompts tend to focus a lot more on certain characters and pairings. There are a few pages that are almost entirely focused on Hux or Kylo and if you don't like those characters, it doesn't give you much incentive to write or search for other prompts.

Re: Temporary Prompt Freeze

They probably don't even get seen, buried as they are by the other prompts.

+1

There's been a little trend of open to gen prompts and fills lately, and a few rare or crack pairs, but they're all always going to get swept past in the flood.

Re: Interesting patterns you've noticed in fanfic

Bucky and Sam can be co-captains. Which is genuinely the next special coming out, so there will be canon precedent!

I really feel like the wank that's happening on the meme right now wouldn't be happening if there had been a propmt freeze earlier. Give people a chance to step back and not get cranky and viscous with each other.

I'm so sorry to hear that the studios send armed men to your house to force you to go to the cinema and pay for a ticket at gun point.

Re: Temporary Prompt Freeze

Unfortunately this is true. :(

I love Stormpilot. And Finn/rey. But I wish more people would be tempted to write more interactions with Finn and other people (Solo, Leila, Luke, Phasma and other Troopers, etc.)

I threw a couple of prompts out there, but it's like shouting into the void. I have also tried to fill more rare prompts (the few and far in between) even if I don't necessary ship it, but to at least shake things up.

Re: Temporary Prompt Freeze

Lol, viscous. Are they getting very thick and slimy?

Re: Temporary Prompt Freeze

I was disappointed by their response, seemed dismissive. Seems like fillers aren't the only ones getting bored. Maybe they should bring in some new blood into the mod team who might be more willing to help. The delicious account alone needs a complete revamp. Some of those fills are wrongfully tagged and there aren't even character tags to search and no round three at all.
