Comics Wrap-Up - Everyone Here Is A Trophy
Like, what did I do to you Loki?! Why am I the outlet for your mischief?!* 😉
As you may've guessed, everything in this comics wrap-up is in the 'Other Stuff' category again.
And as always I blame Loki.

*Not that I'd overly object to that 😉

Friday Fics Fix - Snapshot in the Stars
'Nebula sits on the small piece of ship beside him. “That’s exactly what we were - mercenaries to do his bidding. He trained us, ‘loved’ us, sent us to do whatever he felt was necessary to do.”'
In case you were wondering, this has SPOILERS for Avengers: Infinity War.
So consider this your warning: SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!

Nerd Church - What the London Mayor and the Goblin King Both Know About Trump’s Power
Thank you, London Mayor Sadiq Khan, for being an example of the good and the strong in this country.

Thank you for dismissing Trump as the little boy that he is.
Thank you for showing such dignity in such difficult circumstances.
Thank you for standing strong in the face of bigotry.

Friday Fics Fix - Genius, Billionaire, Playboy, Philanthropist... Father
'“Alright kiddie, time for you to open your eyes… you’re really starting to freak me out.” he tapped Peters cheek lightly. “C’mon lets see those brown eyes, I know you got them.”
After another minute of face tapping and Tony hyperventilating, Peter opened his bloodshot, unfocused eyes, and gazed blearily up at his mentor.'
Let's indulge in the cuteness of Tony Stark being a parent-figure to Peter Parker this week, shall we?
Because I really wanted him to be more fatherly and less of a hypocritical douche in Spider-Man: Homecoming.
And because Tom Holland as Peter Parker is the right mix of cute, awkward, and awesome.

Friday Fics Fix - Wooing, Midgard-Style
'"I always have to wonder about it, you know?" Loki whispers one night as they're eating take out and watching a television program.
Tony looks up from his food, "Wonder about what?" he frowns.
"Yeah." Loki nods, but doesn't continue talking.'
OK, this is take 2 of this post, because it actually effing published itself on Wednesday.
My luck, sometimes guys, my luck.
Obviously that version was deleted (the deleting was done with the accompaniment of me squealing 'ahhhh!' quite a bit.)
You don't need to see my drafts. It's not a good thing. 😅
So, this fic.
This fic is random af. And you all know that that's just the way I like it! 😉

I Liked Avengers: Infinity War, But I Didn't LOVE It. Here's Why. (SPOILER FILLED)
Leaving the cinema after watching Avengers: Infinity War, The Bestie turned to me and said:
'Do you get why I said that once you've seen it, you really wanna watch it again, like, straight away?!'
And me, a diehard Marvel fan, who loves the Marvel films 'til the end of the line, said:
'No... not really. It was ok, though.'

Friday Fics Fix - Just Your Resident Mildly Evil Demigod... and His Lover
'Tony wasn’t sure who’d be unhappier: the team when they found out he was sleeping with their resident mildly evil demigod, or Loki when he found out that Tony would be late for their dinner date on account of being buried alive.'
Yes, that is a quote from this week's fic. Yes, it is awesome.
In my defence, I haven't rec'd FrostIron in ages! I've held myself back for a remarkably long time 😉

The Play's The Thing!
I was watching the BBC version of Hamlet starring Andrew Scott the other day (y'know, the Irish guy who plays Moriarty?) and a thought popped into my head:

Friday Fics Fix - A Long Time Ago, In A Galaxy Far, Far, Away...
I, personally, love the current Star Wars set-up.
There's angst, lightsabers, spaceships and sh**, and a dude with his shirt off - honestly, I don't expect anything beyond that.
(Sorry die-hard Star Wars fans, but let's face it, the stories and dialogue were never what your nostalgia-happy brains purport them to be... Please don't hurt me.)
