Friday Fics Fix - Sleepy Stucky

OK, I know it was Stucky last week, but this is my blog dammit!

Plus I'm currently typing this in the spare quarter of an hour or so that I have free today, while playing my 'getting sh** done' playlist, which contains copious amounts of rock and heavy metal

(Because if anything can get me through this week, it's Avenged Sevenfold and Stone Sour! Lol, I'm so busy and so freaking tired! *laughs slightly hysterically*)

Comics Wrap-Up - Short 'n' Sweet

OK, so, I haven't had much time for the comics-y-ness this week, because I'm suuuuper busy (that's a type of super, after all! Lol,) so I just have a few fun things in the 'Other Stuff' category.

(And, as always, I blame Loki for there only being 'other stuff.')

Month in Review(s) - November 2017

November was one of those super-busy months where I barely had time to think!

As such, guys, I apologise if I've been a little more AWOL than usual.

I haven't had much chance to be social and all that - so, hi! I am still here! XD

Friday Fix Fics - Hate To Twist Your Mind

Fanfiction is hyped up on emotion.

No, really. I reckon that's why it's such good bibliotherapy - all the emotions are right there, on the ever-loving surface, just waiting to be processed.

We even invented 'all the feels!' as a catchphrase for pretty much all fandom, for God's sakes!

Friday Fics Fix- Batty Allen

So, I saw Justice League this week.

It's quite good, actually.

Not great, no, but not as terrible as a butt-tonne of critics would have you believe (though I could tell them exactly what needs editing in that first section to tighten that baby the f**k up.)*

Still, Ben Affleck and Gal Godot are not my favouritest** people for reasons of sexual harassment and Zionism respectively, but I love Diana, and Batman's Batman, so there you have it.

*Nope, no coffee. This is actually me on Diet Coke and an emotional rollercoaster of a week (Yay!)

**It's a word. Shhhh.

Friday Fics Fix - Super Chatty

You know what's fab? Fandom doesn't care about little things like continuity or multi-franchise media universes.

Fandom says 'screw it, we're just throwing all of them into a f**king group chat, cos it'd be great!'

*I mean if you ignore the news and the garbage pile that is the world's current affairs. *desperate laughter* 😅

Comics Wrap-Up - I Only Plugged In To Save Rock and Roll

Film Trailers



Here's another Thor: Ragnarok trailer for you my dearest nerdlets!

Because it's already out here in the UK, I can tell you that it's an awesome-sauce film!!!

(But so very random; The Bestie™ turned to me more than once while watching to ask, 'What even IS this film?!' Lol!)

Nerd Church - The Book Eater

Confession time: to me the term 'book eater' isn't exactly a metaphor.

Don't panic! I do not, in fact, actually chew, swallow, and consume books. There is no paper in my stomach (as far as I'm aware!)

But I taste books.

Not just books - words, sentences, paragraphs. All of them roll around on my tongue with their various flavours.

And for a long time, I figured everyone else was the same. It's only in recent years that the sneaking suspicion has crept in - other people don't taste words.

Friday Fics Fix - Everybody's Waiting For the Next Surprise

It's still October so let's continue with the Harry Potter fics! (You know you want to!)

And this one is actually based around Halloween! With no pumpkin sex! (Man, I've gotten lucky on the lack of pumpkin sex this year! Thank God.)

We have Halloween, Harry Potter, and gay af. Your argument is invalid. Life is wonderful. 😎😇💖

Comics Wrap-Up - Through These Fields of Destruction

Film Trailers


More Thor: Ragnarok mini-trailers! Uber-excited to see this now!!!

Also, Chris Hemsworth needs more comedy. Seriously, Hollywood. Do the thing.

And it's out earlier in the UK than the US!

It's 24 Oct here (already out!) and 3 Nov there. I love it when that happens - mainly because most films we have to wait weeks if not months for, so it's nice to turn the tables now and then! :)

Friday Fics Fix - Gimme Gimme Some of that Vampire Money, C'mon!

Friday Fics Fix - Pants on Fire

Since we're still in October, and on Friday 13th t'boot, I figured we'd give another roll to the Harry Potter dice.*

If it saves me from the Halloween pumpkin sex fics I kept coming across last year, I'm all for it. (Never search for seasonal fics. Ever. I made that mistake again at Easter... *shudders*)

*No, I really have no clue where that phrase/analogy came from 😅

Comics Wrap-Up - Just Imitating Yesterday

New Justice League trailers and mini-trailers! This is not a drill!

Nerd Church - Kids and Gender Equality

Recently I've seen two TV programmes which really hammered home how much we still need to improve on gender equality in the 21st Century.

The first was the BBC's 'No More Boys and Girls' where plans were put in place to counteract negative gender stereotyping in a class of seven and eight-ish year-olds*



*yes, 'ish' because I really can't remember. They were smol, ok?
