It's Thursday, the world is still pretty weird, let's get some superhero-y, comics-y, goodness!
There is a permanent corner of my brain devoted to The Falcon and The Winter Soldier right now.
For those who don't know: this is a new Disney+ series set in the MCU (the Marvel superhero movies,) - particularly the Captain America corner where Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes live.
...metaphorically. Although I'm sure they'd think it was mildly hilarious to live on a street named after Cap.
Since I couldn't find any fanfiction based specifically on this series that I wanted to rec., I decided to trawl through my relatively extensive archive of fic recs to pick out a handful of my faves featuring Sam and/or Bucky.
(This is the upside of having a shared cinematic universe - the downside is catching up on content if and when you fall behind so that you know wtf is going on 😅)
If anyone has any recs for fics based on this current series, please send 'em my way!
Also, it struck me that I see far less quality fics about Sam than about Bucky, so if you know of any good Falcon ones, lemme know!
It's Thursday, it may be April Fool's Day, but no tricks here - just comics-y, superhero-y, goodness!

'Bucky sucks in a crushed breath. Orange-black and pinned like butterfly wings.'
This fic is so beautifully written.
And you should all know by now that when I find a beautifully written fic, I'm gonna rec it!
It's Thursday, it's March, let's enjoy some comics-y superhero-y goodness!
It's Thursday, it's February 2021, let's get some comics-y superhero-y goodness!
Why are popular films, and popular media in general, somehow seen as unworthy?
Who decides what counts as Art anyways?
Cos being asked to locate the grand-high judge of all things artsy films would
not have me running to call Martin Scorsese (...who would totally take my
call, because let's face it, I'm awesome and stubborn as a mule persistent.)
In a pretentious burst of overly-descriptive prose, Martin Scorsese's essay in Harper's Magazine was published this week to the irritation of many fans of superhero blockbusters and popular films.
Why?
Well, Scorsese previously ran his mouth about Marvel movies in 2019, and it seems that even in this current piece about the artsy Italian director Federico Fellini, he couldn't resist some entitled barbs at films that people actually like watching.
It's titled, 'Il Maestro: Federico Fellini and the lost magic of cinema' because... why not? I guess?
It's Thursday, somehow it's only February, let's get some comics-y superhero-y goodness!
Everything is once again in the 'other stuff' category (dammit Loki!)

'“I mean,” Clint cuts back in, “better safe than sorry. If it is a ghost, shouldn't you get the Tower blessed or cleansed or whatever?”'
Avengers! Ghosts! Buzzfeed Unsolved!
...To be honest, if that hasn't hooked you I don't know what I can say to convince you to read this week's fic.
If you're intrigued, read on fair nerdlets!
If not, go!
Go now and frolic in peace!
(...I think I'm gonna be like this for the entire post. Just as a warning! The first week of 2021 has picked up where 2020 left off and I wasn't exactly normal to begin with 😅)
