Post From Tumblr A Happy 2018 to the Cap-IM Community! - January 01, 2018 at 09:48AM

cap-ironman:

We wish all our members and followers a Happy New Year and want to extend a THANK YOU to all our amazing event mods, participants, commenters and active members of the community. You’re what makes this community so lively and great!

There is always something going on around here - not least of all our annual fest and events and none of them would be possible without our wonderful active creators and participants, and everyone willing enough to step up and help! Please give all of them a shout out of appreciation.

Even by our standards, 2017 was an especially busy year for us at Cap-IronMan. Together we celebrated the 10 Years of Steve/Tony anniversary! The year saw changes like the move of the main community to Dreamwidth and after our exciting community merger we tried new things like the friending meme, our very own Steve/Tony kink meme and the daily posts. We want to especially thank the efforts of our cap_ironman_daily team to keep things running and exciting all month round!

What will 2018 bring?

Starting today, most of our our daily discussions will now be running monthly, where people can comment in continuously over the course of each month. The changes are as follows:

Monday’s Donate-A-Prompts and Thursday’s Creator’s Workshop will now be posted at the first week of each month to allow for continuous submissions and discussions.

Friday Fanwork Recs will now have one theme per month, and people can rec (or self-rec) any work they’ve read that month!

Sinful Saturday will run as the monthly Kink Meme.

Tuesday’s Themes & Prompts and Wednesday: What Are You Reading? will continue with weekly posts.

Sunday Open Discussions will also be posted weekly, but with more of an emphasis on reminders regarding community events and our discussion posts.

We hope 2018 will be an exciting year, that we are already starting off with our Remix fest (sign-ups for the Remix Exchange are still open until Jan 7) and the Reverse Big Bang. A new Steve/Tony Bingo round will start in February.

Of course, we are also looking forward to running our annual fests. The Big Bang will start off in June, the Tiny Reverse Bang is set to run again in the summer and winter season will see another edition of our Holiday Exchange.

But that isn’t all.

Announcing the Cap-IM & MCU Anniversaries Celebration

In 2018 we have not one, but two anniversaries to look forward to.

Many mods and fans did their work over the years to make this community what it is now, and many newer participants may not be aware that the original Livejournal community was founded February 19, 2008.

Thus in February will be the 10th Anniversary of our community.

But we’re not the only ones who are turning 10! May 1, 2008, saw the release of a superhero movie called Iron Man that started off the Marvel Cinematic Universe as we know it today. With Avengers: Infinity War being released this April, we hope we’ll have cause to celebrate it together as the MCU turns 10 in style.

Therefore, from February to April we are going to celebrate both our Cap-IM Community and the MCU on our Dreamwidth, Tumblr and Livejournal!

In February/March we will celebrate the Cap-IM Community Anniversary with:

A Party Post

Chat party

Nostalgia Challenges - challenges that were done in the early years of the c-im community

An Open Ask Interview Meme - so members and shippers old and new can share their stories

Themed discussion posts

… and more!

In April/May our focus will shift to the Steve/Tony MCU Anniversary celebration with:

Movie watchalongs

MCU focused fanwork challenges

Party and discussion posts

Community Chat

Themed discussion posts

… and more!

We hope everyone is as excited as we are! All details will be announced closer to the anniversary dates.

In the style of last year’s 10 Eras & 10 Canons collaboration projects, we want to put together 10 Steve/Tony MCU Moments & 10 MCU Eras fanwork projects. So, if you’re a fic writer, fanartist or make edits and manips and want to be a part of this, contact us at cap.im.events@gmail.com.

You have your own ideas you want to bring in to this celebration? Great! Tell us! We’re open to all ideas and projects you want to bring to the table.

A Happy New 2018 to all Steve/Tony shippers! Let’s make it a marvelous Steve/Tony year.

Your Cap-IM Community Mods,

dapperanachronism, faite, laireshi & navaan

Post From Tumblr Birthday party dance - January 01, 2018 at 09:54AM

whenwomenrefuse:

I was at a birthday party with my boyfriend. People got pretty drunk very fast. After the food had been taking away, people started dancing. My boyfriend went outside to grab a smoke and one of the other guys asked if I wanted to dance. I politely declined, explaining that I did not feel like dancing. He kept asking why, and pestering me for “just one dance”. He knew I had a boyfriend, who was even present at the party. When I said no for the tenth time, he proceeded to pick up the chair I was sitting on and placing it away from the table so he could try and pull me from the seat. I pulled the chair back in and stared in disbelief at the other people present. When he came back later and asked again, I said no again. This time my boyfriend was at the table, on the other side. When I said no he asked my boyfriend “does she not like to dance?” My boyfriend said that I did. This man took what another man said, over what I told him, as the true answer. He pulled out my chair again and this time, before I could grab on to the chair, he picked me up and slung me over his shoulder carrying me to the dance floor. I was in shock. No one had moved like that against my will since a was a child. On the dancefloor he held on to my hands very tight and kept spinning me around. I finally got free halfway through a song and ran for the toilet. When I wasn’t crying anymore I went to find my boyfriend. He didn’t understand why being picked up and carried away against my will was so upsetting to me. Because he was sure the other guy “didn’t mean any harm”. No, this one might not have, but being confronted with how easy some can take your choice away is scary as hell.

Maaan, dump that guy. Also, you find yourself in this situation, leave, find the nearest Starbucks and call me or the cops. Your choice.

PSA for short trans guys: Wolverine is 5'3" and he will physically fight your dysphoria for 1 can of beer

Another fun fact: In realities where Logan was NOT captured by Weapon X and brainwashed/given adamantium coated bones he is known as James Howlett; an openly gay badass of a man who gallivants about with his lover Hercules. 

Further fun fact: Logan’s clone, X-23, who is biologically identical to him because Fuck You Jackal That Is How Cloning Works, is AFAB. So. Yeah. Hella Gay Trans Dude Wolverine is a thing.

This is a lie. 

Wolvie would fight your dysphoria for half a can of beer. 

Listen here, bub.  He’d fight that shit for FREE.

Real quick, because it’s a very busy day -

2017 was easily one of the hardest years I’ve ever had to get through, more details later.  But the work was productive.

Here’s to 2018, now in progress.

Post From Tumblr rosegoldenmoon: what you were supposed to learn between 2016 and 2018 apply with ri

rosegoldenmoon:

what you were supposed to learn between 2016 and 2018

apply with rising sign.

ARIES

2016: You were supposed to differentiate what you want from what you think the world wants from you. This was a year of self-discovery, one that had you challenging and questioning a lot of things that you’d previously been accepting as fact. You did a lot of soul-searching this year, and came out on the other end with some pivotal realizations.

2017: You were supposed to dive off the high board. When you knew what needed to change you went for it – and probably head first. This was the year in which you experienced radical change and saw a world that was beyond what you’d ever conceived of before. All of this new understanding brought a change in perspective, and a welcome one at that.

2018: This is the year you decide what you want to do from here on out. This is the year that you get clear on some of the big, lingering question marks that still exist in your life. You’ll regain your clarity and focus in work and in love, and you’ll get ready to start deepening those roots come 2019.

TAURUS

2016: You were supposed to reinvent something. Whether that was a home remodel, a career shift, or even just a reconsideration of who your innermost friend group is, what really changed this year was your self-image. There were parts of yourself you’ve needed to accept for a long time, and other parts of your potential that had been latent until now. This was the year to do what had not been done before.

2017: You were supposed to learn boundaries. Yes, you’re a social creature (even if you’re inherently introverted, Tauruses thrive in their “tribe”). Despite this, 2017 was a year to learn what it means to say “no,” what it means to speak up when you need to speak up, what it means to not fear being disliked in favor of exhausting yourself to the point of total depletion.

2018: This is the year the tides turn for the shore. After so many months of uncertainty, newness and soul-searching, this is the year that you start to find some reprieve. Venus is center stage all year long, and your personal relationships and business ventures receive sparkling luck because of it.

GEMINI

2016: You were supposed to embrace changes at home. This year ruled everything with your closest family members, and this was a time for you to confront new challenges with vigor and to find within them grace. You’d spent the last few years very much focused on yourself and your work, but something drew your attention to what really matters: giving your time and energy to those closest to you.

2017: You were supposed to see who your real friends are. You’d spent so much of the last few years trying to cater to people who sometimes didn’t seem like they really cared all that much in return, and 2017 brought complete clarity as to who you should really be spending your time with. This was a year to make amends, reinvent your social calendar, and redistribute your time and energy to people and things that brought you joy in return.

2018: You are supposed to embrace that project you’ve been dreaming of forever. With everything starting to settle into a new kind of normalcy on the homefront, this year will be all about stepping past your comfort zone and building something for yourself. There’s a reason you’d been feeling so much stagnancy and discomfort at times – something was telling you that you’re meant to do greater things than you can currently conceive of. This is the year to take the first step.

CANCER

2016: You were supposed to let this year surprise you. This was a time of unexpected advancement for you, and some of the choices you made then would leave lasting impressions on your life for many years to come. You gained clarity and a degree of maturity you didn’t even realize you were missing. This was the year that you started to get clear on what – or who – you really want in your life.

2017: This was the year you were supposed to run, not walk, toward your goals. This was the year that you started living out your ambitions every single day. Gone are the days of pipe dreams just existing in your mind. Whether it was committing to newfound responsibility, routine, or even just making more time for what you claim to value, this was the year you challenged yourself.

2018: You are supposed to let love in. It doesn’t matter if you’re single or happily betrothed, this is the year that love takes center stage for you. Whether it is friendships, your closest romantic relationship or even just self-love, this is the year that you re-prioritize what you thought mattered and make sure that your life is focused on what really matters: the people you love, the things you love, and the work that you love, as much as you’re able to love it.

LEO

2016: You were supposed to let go of the plan. At this point in your life, you had to accept that though things didn’t go as you once thought they would, that doesn’t mean they aren’t going well. Though it comforts you to adhere to your idea of “what’s next,” sometimes, the best thing you can do is see where life takes you. Usually, the things you lose are for your best interest anyway.

2017: You were supposed to find yourself again. The low blows of 2016 took a toll on your self-confidence, which is a rare thing for you to experience. However, it set you up to find a whole new degree of self-confidence and assuredness within yourself. If you could survive the past year, you can survive anything.

2018: You’re supposed to go where you’ve never been before. They say that the true definition of idiocy is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. This year, that will be put to the test for you. You’re meant to expand your borders, date new people, try new things… you may just find that there’s a whole lot of joy waiting for you in life, if only you’d open up and give it a chance.

VIRGO

2016: You were supposed to cut loose ends. This was the year that you had to come face to face with what wasn’t working in your life – lest it be forcefully removed from you first.

2017: You were supposed to pursue a new dream. This was the year that you embarked on a new, long-awaited adventure, whether it was a new relationship, the next level of your career, or perhaps even travel. This was the year in which you were supposed to take risks, and see firsthand what works and what doesn’t for your life.

2018: You are supposed to make some firm decisions. After the past two years of an intense tug of war between what you think should be working and what you know isn’t, this is the year to ride or die. You will either start to soar and thrive like you never have before, or come to terms with having tried something new, even if it wasn’t supposed to be forever.

LIBRA

2016: You were supposed to learn how to plant seeds. The past few years have been nothing short of radical for you, and it all began with your emerald Jupiter year in 2016 lighting the way for you to start making connections – perhaps with partners, employers or even with your inner self – that would come to fruition over the next few years.

2017: You were supposed to realize how you were holding yourself back. This year was all about letting those seeds start to sprout, and identifying the ways in which you were stomping on your garden before you gave it a chance to grow.

2018: You are supposed to learn how to let your garden feed you. This year is about finishing up what began in 2016, and allowing yourself to thrive in it. It is about making serious relationship commitments, becoming more financially stable than ever, and adjusting to your highest vision of yourself – because deep down, that’s who you’ve been all along.

SCORPIO

2016: You were supposed to learn how to see for yourself. Despite being particularly self-assured and confident – even standoffish at times – you’re almost overwhelmingly swayed by what you think other people think. This was the year to start believing in your power more than your doubt; to start honoring what you feel, not what others believe.

2017: You were supposed to embrace the feelings you’d been shoving away for so long. This year was all about confronting the emotions that you had been trying to avoid. Of course, it is all with purpose: next year is going to be about your renewal, and so to know what you want, you usually must first identify what you don’t.

2018: You’re supposed to start new. With Jupiter touring your sun sign for most of the year, it is your time to build the life of your dreams. The relationships, jobs, challenges and choices you make now will leave you with (positive) repercussions for many, many years to come.

SAGITTARIUS

2016: You were supposed to learn what it means to reconcile. This was the year that you had to look face first at what you think you’ve failed at, the relationships that had deteriorated over the years, and the ways in which you need to improve your wellbeing. This year likely brought you to many distant lands and into the arms of people you’d never expected. This was a year of mind, body and spirit exploration. You were supposed to come out on the other end with a greater sense of clarity.

2017: You were supposed to learn how to reconnect. Whether it was a sick parent who you needed to stay at the bedside of, or a cousin who you’d regrettably lost contact with over the years, or even a friend who you’d always think about but never make plans with, this was a year that you opened your heart back up, and let the right people in… however slowly you had to do it.

2018: You are supposed to make significant change in your life this year. Whether this means finally moving, changing careers like you’ve known you had to for so long, or just re-adjusting your daily routine to be more sustainable, this is the year in which any unstable bridges will collapse. This is for the best – you’d been hanging on by a thread for far too long. Besides, greener pastures await.

CAPRICORN

2016: You were supposed to learn how to have vision. Despite being strong-minded, Caps are known for being malleable, if not gullible. They easily adopt other people’s ideals as their own, and this was the year to break out of that. It was time for you to learn how to think and feel autonomously, and the chances that succeeded those revelations seemed nothing short of miraculous.

2017: You were supposed to get clarity on what’s not working. This was the year that didn’t hold back: you saw what doors were closed, you saw people’s true colors and intentions, you saw which business ventures were becoming fruitful and which weren’t. You couldn’t fool yourself if you tried to this year, the only question was how long it would take for you to finally choose to pivot.

2018: You are supposed to start a journey into the unknown. This is a year in which you will do things you’ve never done before, perhaps live in or visit places you’ve never been, try work you’ve never done. This is the year that you will surprise yourself with your capability, and you will see all your past regrets dissolve now that you are truly living for your own best interest, not your preoccupation with someone else.

AQUARIUS

2016: You were supposed to learn patience. Some years are revolutionary, some are stationary, some just… are. This year was the latter for you, as things seemed to move slowly, if at all. Little did you know then, the gears were turning, it was all just happening beneath the hood (so to say).

2017: You were supposed to learn how to trust. This is a year that bridged the status of your life between 2016 and 2018, and it was built entirely on trusting people. Letting others into your sacred vision for business, love or life is not easy, but it is crucial. This year, you started to open up to potential you hadn’t recognized before, whether that was dating someone outside of your norm, or letting other people take on more responsibility at your job. Either way, it worked out for the best.

2018: You are supposed to learn how to coexist, and co-work, better than ever before. You’ve learned over the past few years that teamwork makes the dream work (ha, but seriously, it does). Therefore, it’s in your best interest to be the best partner and in some cases, boss, that you can be. This means honing in on your empathy, your compassion, and at times, your selflessness, all while holding true to a greater vision. It’s a challenge, but the rewards will be invaluable.

PISCES

2016: You were supposed to look into your past, and feel into your depths. This was a year in which some of your darkest traumas peeked their way out of the closet and said hi again. Of course, this was not so you’d needlessly suffer, but so that you’d see them for what they are – harmless ghosts in the closet – and resolve that you can move on.

2017: You were supposed to find passion again. Over the past few years, if you’ve been less than thrilled with life it’s because you’ve felt your passions were suppressed by the weight of responsibility and loss. This is the year you rediscovered what you really love, or noticed that maybe you made a wrong choice with a move, a job, or a personal life decision. Either way, it’s not too late to turn around, or in some cases, keep running toward the horizon.

2018: You are supposed to change your life – for good. With all of the evidence you’ve gathered over the past few years, now is the time to take action. You know where you want to go, the challenge is only whether or not you will be fearless enough to let yourself do it.
