Comics Wrap-Up - Running Around Like A Clown On Purpose
OK, we got some Harley, we got some Joker, we got some other stuff going on.
It's Thursday, and it's time for that comics-y goodness!

Comics Wrap-Up - With A Pad and A Pencil Sat By His Side
It's Thursday, and somehow I end up talking more about DC than Marvel this week! 😯
Still, let's get some comics-y goodness! 😍

Friday Fics Fix - Some Scary Stuff... Sort Of
'Richie is sitting on the corner of the porch, legs dangling over the side. He looks up when he hears someone approaching and almost goes to hide the ashtray full of cigarette butts, but then decides he doesn’t want to go through the effort of lying.'
OK, so my fanfiction reading this week has been... well, honestly, I despair of the human race sometimes 😅
I mean, I know that the pumpkin-sex fics will appear eventually in the run-up to Halloween, but come on people, IT'S NOT EVEN OCTOBER!

Comics Wrap-Up - Troubled Love and High-Speed Noise
It's Thursday. I have no idea how we got so far through the week. Let's get some superhero-y goodness!

Nerd Church - Escapism, Reality, the Power of Stories, and Brigsby Bear
Films, books, media, stories.
They’re how we talk, communicate, connect with each other, with the world around us, and how we understand ourselves.
At least, that’s true for me, maybe it’s not for you.
Or maybe you just think it’s not the way it is for you 😉
...when I was making the graphic I somehow wrote 'realism' instead of reality but *shrugs* same diff I suppose! 😅 |
There’s an amazing, adorable, and, in places, heart-breaking, film called Brigsby Bear.
I love it.
It’s one of those films which rips your heart out, hands it to you, and then is like ‘look! This is what your heart looks like! Look at all the blood and gunk and stuff!’ (Metaphorically, of course.)
It’s hard to talk about Brigsby Bear without either a) getting spoiler-y, or b) descending into fangirling to such an extent that all I’m doing is making a series of inarticulate noises.
I love it.

Friday Fics Fix - Crows and Culture
“You are the only raven-man?”
“To my knowledge,” Diaval said. “Though most of the ravens I meet don’t believe me when I say I am sometimes human.”
I LOVE Maleficent.
It's an amazing movie, and I am super-super excited for Maleficent 2!
And only like, 70-75% of my love for Maleficent has to do with how stunningly attractive Angelia Jolie is in the title role! 😅

Comics Wrap-Up - You Know I Like It Loud

Comics Wrap-Up - God is a Woman
Once a year, there is the event of all comics-y-ness - San Diego Comic Con (SDCC).
Unfortunately, most of us can't sell our souls to get to SDCC...
...but fortunately, the trailers the big companies release there trickle out over the next couple of weeks, and the big announcements are pretty much immediate!

Friday Fics Fix - Death Can't Stop a Jedi... From Pranking
'"In the meantime, I'm going to annoy our son back into the Light," Han said with restored good cheer.
"That's not how it works," Leia said.
"Has anyone tried?"'
Sometimes, I just love the randomness of fanfiction.
Like, if you hype up Hollywood writers on a lot of coffee, deprive them of sleep, and then give them action figures to play with, you get fanfic authors.
And that, my dearest nerdlets, is just one of the many beautiful things about the internet.
So this fic is based on the modern Star Wars films, and has a butt-tonne of SPOILERS, ok? Ok.

Comics Wrap-Up - You're the Perfect Distraction
You know what Thursday means? Superhero-y comics-y goodness! Woo!
Everything this week falls into the 'Other Stuff' category - which, as always, is Loki's fault.
It's also kind of superhero-adjacent, because that's just the way the cards fall sometimes *shrugs*

Friday Fics Fix - 3-For-1 Boarding-School Special
I normally recommend one fic a week in these posts. This week, I'm gonna rec three.
Why? Because I can't choose between them.
And now I've given up trying - I'm just gonna give 'em to you, with a bit of info about each!

Nerd Church - 5 Super-Dads (And 5 Who Aren't So Super)
(This post may have some mild spoilers for various superhero-y dealies.)
Let's have some fun this Father's Day, shall we?
Superhero media is a hazardous place to be a father...
...Either you or your kid keeps getting kidnapped and you have to save each other...
...someone changes the timeline and suddenly you've accidentally poofed your child out of existence...
...your kids get ret-conned for film license purposes so that they're no longer your kids...
...they turn out to be super-villains even though you thought they were dead...
It ain't easy!

Friday Fics Fix - How They Swing
'"Ryan and I are the best couple," he said.
Tommy held up a fist to bump. "Sell it, man. It would be hilarious if you won." Chad left him hanging with his hand in the air'
High School Musical 2.
You all familiar? It's the one with the golf club and swimming pool and all that.
