April was rough, mental health-wise.
I'm OK - just having to adapt and take care.
...It's kind of worse when there's no real reason or trigger because there's nothing you can blame, y'know?
...and it really doesn't help that the pollen this year is exceptionally, brutally, high, so my hayfever is extra-present this year.
Kind of hard to focus on your mental health when the pollen is making you feel like a zombie, lol.
(Oh, and hayfever is linked to climate change. #TrueStory.)
'B-Eazy: do we tell her
is it like an invasion of privacy
Ava Sharpe: This entire team is an invasion of privacy.'
I had a lot of Legends of Tomorrow (LoT) feelings this week...
...because it was CANCELLED! Argh!
I love this show. I'ma miss it so much - it's one of my faves dammit!!!! ðŸ˜
It's Thursday, we reached May, this week's post is huge, let's get some comics-y superhero-y goodness!
'“You mortals are truly horrendous at naming constellations.”'
This week's fanfiction is short and sweet.
I fully admit it - this be schmoopy af.
No angst as far as the eye can see. (...Which is highly unusual with me involved, obviously 😅)
It's Thursday, this is Dora Reads, let's get some comics-y superhero-y goodness!
'Nandor blinked at his question, almost owlish. “You want to see your human mother?” As if he had another kind.'
A little over a month ago, I explained to all of you that What We Do In The Shadows (WWDITS) is an amazing vampire-mockumentary work of genius that occupies space in my head, rent-free.
It continues to squat and not pay me a penny for its living quarters.
It's Thursday, it's still April, let's get some comics-y superhero-y goodness!
It's been a little while since my first SamBucky rec list - so I thought I'd bring you some more of the shippy goodness!
(Fandom notes:
SamBucky is a romantic and/or sexual relationship between Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes from the MCU (Marvel) movies etc., especially the Captain America movies, and the The Falcon and The Winter Soldier (TFATWS) TV series.
Shippy = related to ships.
Ships are relationships between two or more characters.)
As always with this kind of list, the Content Warnings will be in the original rec'ing post, which I'll link to.
Also pay attention to the fic author's tags on the fics themselves, and generally take care, dearest nerdlets!
(You can also check the rec'ing posts for whether the fics have SPOILERS or not.)
It's Thursday, I'm not entirely sure where the week went, let's get some comics-y superhero-y goodness!
'He had slept every night since they’d defied Heaven and Hell and it was becoming a bit of a habit.'
A lot of Good Omens (GO) fanfiction tends to revolve around the ship 'Ineffable Husbands'
- and this week's fic rec is no different.
It's Thursday, I am very tired, let's get some superhero-y comics-y goodness!
Warning: this post briefly discusses various aspects of the world's clusterf**k, including but not limited to: Ukraine, systemic Transphobia, and Covid 19.
It also breifly discusses poor mental health, and chronic illness (migraines.)
March was... turbulent.
Which I know isn't exactly unusual atm, but still...
'“So that’s why I’m here?” Loki asked. “You think that I’ve become soft?”'
I love this MCU fic - it's so much fun.
So this is FrostIron - kinda - and verging on crack - but not all the way there.
It's really comic-booky - the action is something I could imagine in a graphic novel, and the whole *waves hands* ...vibe feels like it belongs in the panels of a comic book.
Not least because we're dealing with Dr Doom and MODOK - stock comics villains, after all, and pretty common go-tos for fic authors who need villains that aren't embroiled in the main MCU continuity.
It's Thursday, the world is still wacky, let's get some comics-y superhero-y goodness!
'John’s gotten sick in plenty of bars, but he’s almost sure that this is the first time alcohol hasn’t been involved.'
Ah, John Constantine.
A moody, broody, British Bisexual warlock and master of the occult, who's a character in my beloved Arrowverse show Legends of Tomorrow? And is played by a Welsh actor (Matt Ryan)?
Yeah, if you know me at all, you know that I had zero chance to resist.
It's Thursday, this is Dora Reads, let's get some superhero-y comics-y goodness!
'He was hurt alright. That look wasn't a new color on him; Nandor seemed to be hurt quite a lot lately. Laszlo didn't want him to be alone.'
Vampire. Mockumentary.
Do I have your attention?
Good.
It's Thursday, I'm very tired, but we've got lots of comics-y superhero-y goodness, so let's get to it!
'“Nothing happened.”
“You only had one hotel bill,” Rhodey pressed.'
Want it to come in the form of a fic which, despite the sexting (or near enough to,) is surprisingly wholesome?
Of course ya do! 😉😅
(Warning: this post discusses war, the threat of nuclear disaster, injured cats, and blood)
February.
2022.
February. 2022.
February 2022.
...I live in Europe. Edges of, here in the UK, but still Europe.
Y'know, that continent Putin nearly turned into a nuclear wasteland last week?
And no, I'm not over-reacting, Zaporizhzhia is way bigger than Chernobyl, and radiation from the Chernobyl disaster in 1986 was the reason Welsh farmers had restrictions on selling livestock until 2012.
So... *gestures at Putin in a non-polite manner*
