Hi, I'm Mil! She/her, old enough. Really into danmei and Tolkien these days (you'd be surprised at the overlap)

Today’s whacky crossover thought brought to you by too many Marvel video essays and my constant undercurrent of Tolkien thoughts: Winter Soldier!Bucky/Maglor doing a Beren and Luthien and he agrees to steal the Silmarils for Maglor bc he needs a mission and Maglor is way better than the Russians

My kingdom for a fic that's just... an exhaustively-researched series of one-shots where Bucky Barnes fights in the background of every major historical event between 1945 and 2014, like some sort of evil Forest Gump.

I feel like there are two different ways to make a fanmix: 1. Choose songs whose lyrics and vibe match the character. 2. Choose songs that the character would listen to. Which. Are normally very different than the songs in #1. 😂

I friggin love it when the historians get into the historiography of their subject. 😌 Reading the introduction to a well-researched book feels like cutting a thick slice of cake.

Researching the colonization of North America and you wouldn't believe the dumb shit people say. 😬 "Europe's period of exploration and colonization was fueled largely by necessity. Europeans had become accustomed to... silks, spices, and pottery..." Jesus fucking CHRIST.
