Series: Part 1 of Unsteady
Summary:
He drops to his knees too fast and he can feel his joints protesting. He’s too old for this shit, the marble hard and cold and unforgiving in a way he’s gonna pay for later. But that’s an irrelevant problem for future Tony. A Tony that is not consumed by the feel of powerful, muscular thighs under his hands. Thighs he wants wrapped around his hips while they rut against each other until both of them forget their names, forget their history, forget all the good reasons why they shouldn’t be doing this.
OR
Bucky gets hurt during a mission. Tony is grudgingly worried. Angry sex ensues.
Actually
The question I get the most is how I write characters that feel like real people.
Generally when I’m designing a human being, I deconstruct them into 7 major categories:
1. Primary Drive
2. Fear: Major and Secondary
3. Physical Desires
4. Style of self expression
5. How they express affection
6. What controls them (what they are weak for)
7. What part of them will change.1. Primary Drive: This is generally related to the plot. What are their plot related goals? How are they pulling the plot forward? how do they make decisions? What do they think they’re doing and how do they justify doing it.
2. Fear: First, what is their deep fear? Abandonment? being consumed by power? etc. Second: tiny fears. Spiders. someone licking their neck. Small things that bother them. At least 4.
3.Physical desires. How they feel about touch. What is their perceived sexual/romantic orientation. Do their physical desires match up with their psychological desires.4. Style of self expression: How they talk. Are they shy? Do they like to joke around and if so, how? Are they anxious or confident internally and how do they express that externally. What do words mean to them? More or less than actions? Does their socioeconomic background affect the way they present themselves socially?
5. How they express affection: Do they express affection through actions or words. Is expressing affection easy for them or not. How quickly do they open up to someone they like. Does their affection match up with their physical desires. how does the way they show their friends that they love them differ from how they show a potential love interest that they love them. is affection something they struggle with?6. What controls them (what they are weak for): what are they almost entirely helpless against. What is something that influences them regardless of their own moral code. What– if driven to the end of the wire— would they rejectsacrificing. What/who would they cut off their own finger for. What would they kill for, if pushed. What makes them want to curl up and never go outside again from pain. What makes them sink to their knees from weakness or relief. What would make them weep tears of joy regardless where they were and who they were in front of.
7.WHAT PART OF THEM WILL CHANGE: people develop over time. At least two of the above six categories will be altered by the storyline–either to an extreme or whittled down to nothing. When a person experiences trauma, their primary fear may change, or how they express affection may change, etc. By the time your book is over, they should have developed. And its important to decide which parts of them will be the ones that slowly get altered so you can work on monitoring it as you write. making it congruent with the plot instead of just a reaction to the plot.
That’s it.
But most of all, you have to treat this like you’re developing a human being. Not a “character” a living breathing person. When you talk, you use their voice. If you want them to say something and it doesn’t seem like (based on the seven characteristics above) that they would say it, what would they say instead?
If they must do something that’s forced by the plot, that they wouldn’t do based on their seven options, they can still do the thing, but how would they feel internally about doing it?
How do their seven characteristics meet/ meld with someone else’s seven and how will they change each other?
Once you can come up with all the answers to all of these questions, you begin to know your character like you’d know one of your friends. When you can place them in any AU and know how they would react.
They start to breathe.
This is an excellent resource (that I will now be using) for not only writing original character but fanfiction, too. Getting the characters right is always a little tricky especially if it’s something you haven’t experienced/written yet or if it’s just a tough character to work with and write properly.

Hey, welcome to my TedX talk about one of the most ambitious games Ubisoft had ever released… And which, for most of the parts, flopped majestically - yet still has players who love it. One such player am I as well. (And I’m not coming back to the game because Raymond Kenney is my first VG crush, shut the hell up.)
I won’t be dipping into the side activities (digital trips)andonline mode, because I never clicked with it and I don’t know much about these parts. And I don’t wanna throw shit at the game because of something I don’t know a single thing about. Here are my three biggest negatives in the game and the three biggest positives you should play it for.
Also: remember, this is my opinion and my opinion only. It’s sure biased, non-professional, but I’ve played WD more than five times. FIVE. So it’s not just blatant nitpicking, because, in its core, WD Is a game I love dearly.
@march-moon, here you go! :)
So I need to revive my weekly recommendations! I’ve been meaning to do this for months but recently I got quite a few asks with people wanting to see this back (I’m so glad you guys liked it) so here we go!
If you’re new to this, basically I make a short post once a week with a new Youtuber, posting a video of theirs I enjoyed and telling you why you should go check them out. As always it’ll be a mixture of both big and small channels some of which you’ll have heard of and others you probably won’t have. There’s something close to 6000 of you all now (which is totally crazy) and I hope that for the smaller channels I can help them to boost their audience.
So yeah, a new Youtuber/ youtube channel every Friday! I’m going to queue a couple up because we all know how bad I am at sticking to schedules but hopefully I can manage this for a while.
Let me know what you guys think as well and feel free to suggest/ request a promo :)

Mouse Update
I’ve received the mice, and they’re females apparently. I’m not upset about that, but I’ve decided to name them Spooy and Spypy due to an inside joke I have with a friend of mine. The names were not a suggestion that I received from anyone. However, all the suggestions were good ones. Seeing as I just got the mice settled in, I won’t be taking any pictures yet. I want them to get comfortable in their cage before I start bothering them.
Damn it I can’t find the post I made about that so I’ll just do another one: happy pride to all my mixed race fam, your queerness doesn’t negate your cultural heritages, your queerness doesn’t make you any less of your heritage, you’re allowed to look for the queer history of all your cultures, you’re allowed to be you without proving anything to anyone, you’re allowed to stay in the closet with one side of your family but not the other, you’re allowed to have complex feelings about the intersection of your queerness and your mixed-raceness. I love you and I’m proud of you.
(Non-mixed people can reblog!)
No matter what you headcanon c hbomb’s gender as you’re right. Hes fun like that <3
He’s like link legend of Zelda

That bubba tea challenge
The crown’s vault holds many blood diamonds and jewels which are often seen draped around the husk of Elizabeth. The current crown, an accumulation of conquest, is made up of 2868 diamonds, 17 sapphires, 11 emeralds, and 269 pearls — the biggest of said diamonds (The Cullinan Diamond) came from South Africa, a colony until 1910, which had a deep history of racism from when under British occupation and later into the apartheid. Another case which comes with a long retirement — a long retirement is a luxury afforded to the monarchies things but not often the working poor — is the Koh-i-Noor Diamond (it has been ‘retired’ since the queen’s mothers death). The diamond stolen from India now rests mockingly atop the former imperial state crown and has not been given back to those to whom it belongs — something successful thieves would be familiar with. In total the crown’s putrid collection is estimated to be worth billions, and the parasite-in-chief flaunts this putridity when she speaks of Britain ‘living in within its means’ before returning to Buckingham Palace (which itself is worth £1billion). For an every increasing many ‘living within means’ actually means hungry children,food banks, and unemployment. The royal families falsely sparkling existence is a putrefied insult to the downtrodden for no amount of diamonds can cover and hide the true face of a “rich glutton who is rotting alive but will not let what is young live on”.
