Wash the questions off my hands
My poem "The Drowning of the Doves" has been accepted by The Cascadia Subduction Zone. I owe my discovery of the Doves type to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sairaali; cucumberseed also encouraged me to write a poem based on the history with all its strange river-echoes, since apparently neither U.A. Fanthorpe nor Iain Sinclair had gotten around to it. Since then, of course, not only has the legendary typeface been digitally revived, but some of the actual long-drowned lead type has been recovered from the Thames. The poem does not encompass that development. I'm still pretty happy about it.
Today was hectic, but really nice: I spent the day withgaudior and rushthatspeaks, respectively while mailing an infinite number of Sassafrass Kickstarter rewards at the post office and making a run to Market Basket and the adjoining Indian grocery and then we all ate dinner and watched the first episode of the new season of Hannibal, which was great. The show has really stepped up its impressionism. I have no idea where it's headed.
I must sleep. I want to write about several things, but later.

it's time for Moi to drop OT links yet again
ALSO I realized your fave bit with Natasha and Hulking out Bruce is foreshadowed in TWS!
Jasper Sitwell: Is this little display meant to insinuate that you're gonna throw me off the roof? Because it's really not your style, Rogers.
Steve Rogers: You're right. It's not. It's hers.

Re: it's time for Moi to drop OT links yet again
I realize I am quoting probably the single most flippant line in the story, but:
"The problem about going on safari with Steve Rogers was that he was quite kind, and very genuine, and he was from 1943, so he didn't see anything at all gay about it."
That was really neat; thank you. I'll check out the others.

Yes! Thank you for identifying that. Natasha Romanoff: blunt-force instrument with a long game.
Re: it's time for Moi to drop OT links yet again
The Steve one is great, the Tasha one's great, but now the standout for me is the fucking amazing Groundhog Day fic where everyone has to work together and there's physics and it has all the best characterizations (altho her Steve is a little stiff and Jesusy for me) (okay that sounded MUCH LESS WEIRD in my head), it's amazing. Anyway in all her MCU longfics I've read so far the focus is on Bruce, Bruce, Bruce, and I figured you'd like it -- I really liked MCU Bruce a lot more after reading her fics, and she has this beautiful dangerous dark whip-smart Tony. And a great Pepper. And my CLINT shows up right at the end and is just so Clint ("Clint’s face was perfectly affable, but his arms were really big. Somehow the dichotomy made him that much more intimidating").
The author really deals amazingly well not just with the god-like abilities of the Avengers (as well as the actual god dude Thor showing up) but also the whole science-erasing-God and scientists-becoming-God? thing, through the figure of Bruce, it's just so well-done. It's like Bruce is trying to nope out and just not exercise his power, Steve is trying to figure out how to use his power in the world for good, and Tony is like, If I can do it, that means it can get done. http://archiveofourown.org/works/579008?view_full_work=true

Here is a marvelous quote by the show runner of Hannibal: “Every director who comes to the show gets the same lecture,” says Fuller. “We are not making television. We are making a pretentious art film from the 80s.”
Hee!
I have to watch it with my glasses off or risk refusing to eat for a day or two afterward. *shudder*

Hooray for Indian groceries! I was recently set-upon in the high street by an Indian grocery, so I know what that's like. I escaped mostly unscathed, except for two large, heavy shopping bags and a lighter wallet. My cooking is now more interesting.
I hope you had good sleep.

I suspect the chances are slim, but I would love that.

I fled before I bought more kewra water. We haven't even used up the bottle in the pantry. It's just so good!
