Friday Fics Fix - I Can See It There In Your Eyes

Some things in this world are pure awesome - one of those things is that Sanvers is canon.

Because Supergirl is an excellent TV series, and was like, 'dudes, let's see Supergirl have a lesbian sister who kicks criminal alien butt!'

And the kids of this world are all the better for it.*

Film Trailers

I really need to watch the first Guardians of the Galaxy film, because this new trailer for #2 has confirmed that me and Rocket Raccoon are well-matched personality-wise.

(Which is quite worrying, when you think about it...)

Comics Wrap-Up - If I Could Save Time In A Bottle

OK, due to a) a sh**ty cold that makes it hard for me to concentrate, and b) Loki (alwaaays blame Loki guys, 9/10 times, it was him,) everything I have for you today falls under the heading of 'Other Stuff.'

So, on to the Other Stuff!

Comics Wrap-Up - Tale As Old As Time... Sort Of

Ryan Reynolds, king of the Deadpool fandom, has released a sneak-peak teaser type-thingummy/featurette of Deadpool 2!

Comics Wrap-Up - If My Velocity Starts To Make You Sweat, Then Just Don't Let Go

Film Trailers

Another trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy vol 2!

(I really need to watch #1 - plus, I'm beginning to worry about how much my personality may or may not be like Rocket Raccoon's.)

WARNING: flashing images

Other Stuff

The Screen Junkies people who make Honest Trailers did one for Doctor Strange!

Now, I really did like Doctor Strange (whitewashing is inexcusable though,) but this pretty much hits the nail on the head!

Drug references, so be careful if playing this in public guys. Oh, and there are SPOILERS.

WARNING: flashing images everywhere.

And here's this week's comics-related links I tripped across while frolicking around the Internet:

• Renaldo Matadeen @ Comic Book Resources gave us 15 reasons Suicide Squad didn't suck (which is totally legit - because I really enjoyed that film dammit!)

• Also on Comic Book Resources was the news that apparently conservative pundits in America found LEGO Batman too gay. No-one explain the shipping references to them, ok? I think their heads will explode. #MasculinitySoFragile

• Nicole Brinkley @ Book Riot wrote an excellent post on the fight to make Archie Comics' Jughead recognised as aroace in TV show Riverdale, and in the most recent comics.

OK, that's it for this week, I'll see you next Thursday for more comics-y-ness! :)

Film Trailers

This is more of a featurette maybe, but I'm putting it in the trailers section anyhow #DealWithIt 😎

This is an origin-type-thingy for X-23/Laura from the upcoming X-men film, Logan.

MASSIVE content warning: gore and self-harm.

Other Stuff

And here's some awesome-sauce links related to all things comics I've come across this week:

• Comic Book Resources explained that Jughead's asexuality has been erased in the Riverdale TV series, and that's not ok.

• ChrisVigilante @ Vigilante Reads wrote an awesome review of Avengers: The Children's Crusade.

• Clara Mae @ Women Write About Comics wrote a great post about the realistic depiction of the pitfalls of toxic masculinity in Lego Batman.

• Also on Women Write About Comics, Karen K Burrows wrote about sexist issues with DC's new Odyssey of the Amazons series.

• Megan Cavitt @ Book Riot spotlighted Native Realities - a Native American comics' publisher.

Friday Fics Fix - Totally Winning

I love the TV show Supergirl. It rocks.

And I know, it sounds like it should be really naff - BUT IT'S NOT!!!!

Now, fans of the show will be aware of Winn, and aware of Mon-El.

People who aren't familiar show need to go watch it (like, now.) Because it's awesome-sauce, and even has canon (fangirling note: official) lesbian representation in series 3.

via GIPHY

Now, as fandom will pair up everyone with... well... everyone, there is a ship for Winn and Mon-El.

The name of this ship is Monwinn - which makes me laugh for nerdy reasons related to the Welsh language which I won't go into too much here because it would probably take up half a page of explanation.

Let's just say that Winn, and its many variants, is a Welsh name that can signify several concepts related to white, fair, pure, holy, handsome, perfect, etc.

And Mon makes me think of Anglesey.

(Fangirling note: ship is relation-ship. See? OK, awesome.)

This week's fic is cute awesome Monwinn dorkiness with their first date (*squee*)

via GIPHY

This week's fic then, my dear nerdlets, is:

Good Company by SnorkleShit

Enjoy the sweet dorkiness, and I'll have more fanfiction-y-ness for you next week!
