That vid is terrific, juliana
And it was made by a former occasional poster here, who used to go by the nom-de-net of Melymbrosia.
Riley: Oh, yeah. Sorry 'bout last time. Heard I missed out on some fun. Xander: Oh yeah, fun was had. Also frolic, merriment and near-death hijinks.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Oh, Mely! Awesome.
The vid is mentioned in Gavia's Daily Dot article on modern fans' interpretation of Cap. It was with a vague sense of embarrassment that I realized I know each of the fanfics referenced. And the essay. But, this re-interpretation of Cap is why I like Cap now.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I wish they'd link to Fanlore instead of TVTropes.
Also, they totally should have mentioned that story where Steve supports union workers on strike, somewhat to SHIELD's horror.

I also wish that Aja (I assume it was Aja, I read the article on my phone) had indicated that Thuvia's vid was rather more complicated than a re-imagining of Steve Rogers' politics.

That story makes we want to start an Average Avengers chapter.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Just read a weird and interesting Sherlock/John fic that wanted me to read all their wiki hyperlinks and possibly get lost on a tvtropes equivalent website, and then had a bummer downer if an ending. I feel betrayed by being asked to put all this extra investment into a fic and then be denied even a lady or tiger ending. Maybe I don't have legitimate reason to be angry with the author, but I truly am. And the extra investment asked of me seems to be fanning the flames beyond normal betrayal.

Any recs for Mentalist fan fiction? George or general - nothing porn centered though incidental porn is fine. Plotty with Jane being clever & charming the unit solving crimes. Lisbon being clever, and making Jane regret it when he pushed her too far is good too.
