Apparently pretty much everyone I subscribe to on AO3 is updating their fics today (or yesterday depending on their timezone, but they came to my knowledge today). Please consider my need to write, people:D

My Cap RBB fic is practically written. One scene is still incomplete, but I'm happy where I am with it. Obviously there's still a whole bunch of editing to do, but it's definitely pretty much handled now. Except I still don't have an inkling on the title.

The Endgame related thing keeps ballooning. I know where to start and where I want to go with it, but the middle part keeps getting longer. I thought at first it would be something like a 10k thing, but now I'm kind of at a place where I'm throwing my hands up and going, who even knows? At least I'm confident it won't be the longest fic I've written (unless it gains a drastic amount of additional plot, which is unlikely), but other than that I'm not even going to guess at this point.

I'm also starting to incline toward posting the chapters while still writing.

In completely other news, a kingdom for Steve related jokes that rely on something other than the assumption of him being a complete idiot for their humor. I'm *tired*

I am personally OVER "Steve is a fucking idiot" jokes. He's really not, and having that be the source of humor? Is not...funny. He wasn't dumb before the serum and he certainly wasn't stupid after it, ffs.

Yeah, this is my pet peeve that I've been complaining about, IDK, since 2012? For some reason it was a pretty common fanon after the first Avengers movie that Steve is this human equivalent of labrador, lovable but dumb. And it's really just so boring, he's so much more fascinating as a character than that. I thought it got a bit better after CATWS, but it's still all too common to portray him as someone who basically only knows to punch stuff and has no sense whatsoever, and I just can't deal with it.
