Monday Media (of the Social Kind)

[aivix.livejournal.com]

Hello, everyone. I’m aivix and today's theme is Social Media. Let us bring forth the prompts that relate to social media: a funny facebook post that goes viral much to a character's chagrin, the twitter war between characters, the instagram post that outs a couple...

Just a few rules:
No more than five prompts in a row.
No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
Use the character's full names and fandom's full name for ease adding to the Lonely Prompts spreadsheet.
No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing, or use the spoiler cut option found here.
If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space, or use the spoiler cut.
If there are possible triggers in your story, please warn for them in the subject line!

Prompts should be formatted as follows: [Use the character's full names and fandom's full name]
Fandom, Character +/ Character, Prompt

Some examples to get the ball rolling...
+ Stargate: Atlantis, John Sheppard/Rodney McKay, Rodney the Atlantis-Reddit troll.
+ seaQuest, Lucas Wolenczak, Instafamous
+ The Martian (Book or Movie), Mark Watney, “Could you stop getting into arguments with Nobel Prize winners on twitter?”

We use AO3 to bookmark filled prompts. If you fill a prompt and post it to AO3 please add it to the Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2017 collection. See further notes on this new option here.

Not feeling any of today’s prompts? Check out Lonely Prompts Spreadsheet 1 (not very current), Lonely Prompts Spreadsheet 2, or the Calendar Archives, or for more recent prompts, you can use LJ's advanced search options to find prompts to request and/or fill.

While the Lonely Prompts Spreadsheets and LJ's advanced search options are available, bookmarking the links of prompts you like might work better for searching for in the future.

MCU, Bucky Barnes, a post to (several) social media platforms serves to change the public's opinion of Bucky - suddenly everyone loves him.

MCU, Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes, nude pictures of Captain America pop up all over the internet, much to his annoyance - they're the real deal and not photoshopped.

Daredevil (MCU), Gen.

Foggy makes Daredevil a social media account without Matt's knowledge, and tries to get him to use it. Matt is initially against the idea, but quickly becomes a bit TOO enthusiastic, spending excessive amounts of time and becoming a victim of the "But Foggy, someone is WRONG on the INTERNET" mindset, ALWAYS feeds the trolls, and doesn't understand the wisdom of not reading (for example) youtube comments. Foggy is deeply embarrassed.

The Martian (Book or Movie), Mark Watney, "Could you stop getting into arguments with Nobel Prize winners on Twitter?"

Fill -- Hashtag: 'Like a Boss'

[vanillafluffy.livejournal.com]

Jeff has a headache, and its name is Mark Watney. When he'd hired the Hero of Mars to teach Problem Solving for Astronauts, he hadn't expected the guy to be a problem. In retrospect, he should have listened to Kapoor, who'd hinted that Watney was "a bit of a maverick". No shit, Sherlock.

He's paying close attention to the traffic in the hallway outside his office, so when said hero saunters past, Jeff calls out, "Watney!"

People who don't know him probably think that grin of his is boyish and charming, but after almost a year, Jeff knows better. That's the smirk of a congenital smart-ass who likely already knows what he's being stopped for.

"Good morning, Jeff! How are you doing on this glorious Thursday?"

"You've been stirring up trouble on Twitter again," his boss says, ignoring the greeting.

Watney beams. "Nah, just having a stimulating exchange of ideas."

Jeff grinds his teeth together. Even now, Watney is newsworthy. His so-called discussions tends to stir up everybody from late night talk show hosts to Newsweek. “Could you just stop getting into arguments with Nobel Prize winners on Twitter? Please?”

Mark actually rolls his eyes at the suggestion. "Aw, come on," he says. "It's just Vogel--we've been arguing about the difference between soccer and what he calls 'American football' for-freaking-ever."

Alex Vogel's work on amino-peptides in reduced gravity had earned him a trip to Stockholm, but apparently he still has enough free time to kibbutz with Watney. Great. And since he's a foreign national no longer under the aegis of NASA, there's zilch Jeff can do to censure him.

Lewis and Martinez have kept their noses clean and are training as possible crew members for Ares VI, they're no problem.

The lovebirds, Beck and Johanssen married practically as soon as they'd landed--although Jeff has it on good authority (Kapoor again) that NASA had been in a state when Johansson's tests had shown she'd come back pregnant. They have a daughter now. Beck has a job reviewing medical telemetry coming from the ISS; his boss probably doesn't have to call him on the carpet every other week. In addition to being busy with the baby, Johanssen has a memoir that just came out and is on top of all the bestseller lists.

But still, it's Watney that the world wants to know about. And part of Jeff's job is to try to preserve the image of NASA and its personnel. "Can't you and Vogel correspond privately?"

"What fun is that?" Mark protests. "Hashtag: 'the other football' has been trending." Jeff rubs his forehead. "It's okay, we can cool it, if it's such a big deal." Thank god, thinks the administrator--but Watney isn't done yet.

"Chris Beck and I have been going back and forth about our favorite superheroes. He's a stubborn son of a bitch sometimes." Oh shit. That makes the debate on what's football downright scholarly.

"Yeah," says Watney, slouching toward the hall. "I've been saying all along that Iron Man is the best, but he thinks Captain America is the epitome of awesomeness. Yeah," he beams as he gets out of there, "I'm sure we can get hashtag: 'who's cooler' trending"

Lucifer (TV), Lucifer Morningstar, obsessively tracking down people who leave dissatisfied comments on Lux's webpage

Fill, "Resources"

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

"Lucifer," Chloe asked, suspicious at the sight of him, "what are you doing at the station?"

He beamed. "Ah, Detective! I have come to beg your assistance, or the assistance of someone who can help me track down a missing person."

Chloe raised her eyebrow. "Who's missing?" Couldn't be Maze, she'd been eating Lucky Charms and vodka for breakfast earlier. The Brittanies? Doubtful.

"Oh, ah." Lucifer tapped the screen of his phone and held it up. "Do you see this? It is someone named 'J.T. Kirk' - surely a pseudonym, I somehow doubt the captain of the Enterprise would give my club - Lux - " As if Chloe didn't know the name of the club - "a single star in his review!"

"No," Chloe said.

"No?"

"Absolutely not," Chloe said. She made an erasing gesture with her hands. "You are not bothering anyone with this, Lucifer. You are not." She sighed. Loudly. "Not using any resources of this station - or any other station - to track down anyone who's left you a negative review on Lux!"

Lucifer opened his mouth. And closed it again. And pouted. "But Detective," he said. "It's not right! The use of an alias." He flipped his hand at the screen again. "The single star!"

"That is not police business, Lucifer," Chloe said. Firmly. "And I don't want to hear any more about it!"

"But Detective!"

"Nothing, Lucifer!" She held a hand up to forestall any additional argument, knowing he'd go on. "If you have to pursue this, use your own resources, not the City of Los Angeles'."

His sulk nearly turned his face inside out, at least until something popped into his devious brain and he smiled again. "Yes, yes, of course, what was I thinking?" Enthusiasm firmly back in place, Lucifer patted Chloe's shoulder briefly. "I'll take it up with your captain!"

"That's not - "

Too late. He was already gone.

Chloe sighed, squeezing the bridge of her nose between her thumb and forefinger in hopes it would quell the beginnings of the headache Lucifer always gave her.

MCU (Avengers 'verse), Steve Rogers + ensemble, Cap has made learning how to 21st Century his mission, but he loves trolling the Avengers by asking questions like "How do I make the Google do the thing?" despite being 100% capable of very sophisticated online shenanigans. (Also the very sophisitcated online shenanigans can never be traced back to Steve).

Mini Fill. MCU, Steve Rogers, Tony Stark.

[aivix.livejournal.com]

It hadn't taken him long to figure out the tablet and the smartphone, the first two things he'd been given by SHIELD after coming out of the ice. To be honest, they'd seemed almost simple to master, especially compared to the laptop that'd required he have Clint show him how to navigate at first. But a couple of online courses later, well, Steve had learned HTML and some basic CSS and regularly spent time on Reddit.

That did not mean he let the others know that, however.

“Tony, the Facebook isn't loading.”

Stark sighed. “Did you log out of it again?”

“Am I not supposed to log out after I'm done?” He looked innocent as he asked, pushing his phone across the workbench.

“No, Steve, you can leave it logged in,” Tony replied. He had practically hissed it through his teeth, clearly trying to hold onto his patience and Steve held his expression despite mentally laughing hysterically.
