4 Fangirling-Worthy Webcomics With Central F/F Romance (That Are Also Available In Print!)
Ladies who love ladies are amazing.
So, as it's Pride Month, and I'm a Queer lady who loves the nerdy things in life, I think it's time we celebrate some central F/F relationships, don't you?
This short list of comics features romantic relationships ranging from the sexy to the innocent, and ladies who have their own unique personalities and situations.
Available to read online (for free!) or in printed form, let these ladies bring a little love to your lives!

Comics Wrap-Up - One More Off-Key Anthem
I don't know whether you've noticed lately, but these comics wrap-ups are less thorough than they used to be - but don't panic! That's on purpose.
It was getting to the point where I was trawling things formulaically and obsessing over not missing anything.
So I figured I'd take it back to basics - sharing comics-related stuff I found awesome or funny or whatever over the course of the week! 😎

Comics Wrap-Up - We Really Are Ants Now
I saw Avengers: Infinity War! I'm hoping to post a discussion-type-thing/random fangirlish thoughts next week - assuming I can keep a schedule for once! 😉
'Til then, let's see what I've got for ya this week:

Month in Review(s) - April 2018
April... ha, so, what's May lookin' like? 😅
April happened. I lived through it *starts singing I'm still standing by Elton John and doing an incredibly embarrassing dance.*
My grandmother is still in hospital - she went in at the beginning of March - but she's definitely improving. We're basically waiting for a social care package in place so that she can go home, because there's no way my 88-year-old grandfather can take care of her.
And on the last day of April my laptop - which had been hanging on on a wing and a prayer, granted - gave up the ghost.
On the plus side, I reached over 3k Twitter followers in April! I love you guys, really! XD

Month in Review(s) - March 2018
March. Ah, March.
There was some good, incredible, awesome stuff - like a Fall Out Boy concert last week (completely awesome!) and hitting 200k page-views on Dora Reads (I LOVE YOU MY NERDLETS!!!) - but there was also a lot of stress, worry, Anxiety, etc.
There's a lot of personal stuff going on atm, including my grandmother being in hospital since the beginning of the month - and thanks so much for your support my dearest nerdlets! You rock, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate it!
March, for yours truly, was one of those months with too much trouble, and too little time to deal with it.

Comics Wrap-Up - And The Silence Is So Deafening, It's Like Picking at a Sore
I'm super-tired this week, so if I'm spouting nonsense and/or using verbiage and syntax usually found only in 19th Century novels (a weird habit I have sometimes when I'm tired,) then that's why! 😅

Month in Review(s) - February 2018
You remember, in January, when I said I was getting the hang of the whole life-balance deal-y?
Yeah... well, regular service has resumed. My life is back to Milo-Murphy's-Law-levels of randomness.
If you haven't seen Milo Murphy's Law, this is what I'm talking about:
(Warning: flashing images)
...I relate so hard it scares me.
Typical example: I had a scratch on my hand. Not unusual?
It was from the cat. Still not that odd?
It was because the cat was squirming, trying to stop me, from stopping him, from climbing into my big brother's sling (which he was wearing at the time,) which he has because he broke his arm roller-skating.
This is my life.

Comics Wrap-Up - You're Gonna Hear Me Roar
Firstly, my dearest nerdlets, Happy St. David's Day/Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Sant Hapus! You can check out some Welsh-language music in a blogpost I wrote on Sunday to celebrate.
Yes, I have now seen Black Panther! It was totally awesome-ful! XD (And most of what I have for you this week is Black Panther-related!)
And this week is one of those weeks where everything I have for you comes under the 'other stuff' category. Blame Loki. #AlwaysBlameLoki

Friday Fics Fix - Something Trashy
Dumpsters! Friendship! Diversity! What more could you want?!*
I've told you before, my dearest nerdlets, about the awesomeness that is the 'dumpster brothers' meme/trope/sub-fandom/whatever!
But, in case you need some refreshment: Clint Barton (Hawkeye) and Matt Murdock (Daredevil) combine their odd habit of ending up in dumpsters to become friends!
(Yes, it's usually as random as it sounds!)
*Don't answer that.
