Friday Fics Fix - The Self-Care Fanfic Rec-List
Fanfiction is a fab form of self-care (which I know I've said more than once, but that's because it's true!)
And seeing as how:
a) we could all do with all the self-care we can get atm...
and b) I have written a lot of fanfiction posts over the years...
I figured I'd take a look over my blog archives, and select some of the most useful fics for self-care.
(Side-note: looking through my archive is super-weird!)

Hello dearest nerdlets! I have all the superhero-y comics-y goodness that we all need, it's Thursday, let's do this!
(Everything's under the 'Other Stuff' category today, for which we will of course blame Loki - as is tradition.)

Friday Fics Fix - Three Hearts
'“Hey, He-Who-Lurks-Creepily-in-Corners,” Tony said. “You want a smoothie? You need to replace all the stuff you lost earlier.”'
Amongst the shippers of the MCU, there are many ships on which to sail.
(Yes, I'm talking Avengers again - I know, I've kind of been alternating between Avengers and Umbrella Academy lately, but they're the fics I've found that are worth recc'ing *shrugs* what's a nerdgirl to do?)

Friday Fics Fix - It Made Me Laugh, So I Had To
'Tony walks in, sees the two of them facing one another, Steve’s arms folded, hears about half a second of their conversation, and about-faces with military precision before walking back out.'

Friday Fics Fix - In Times of Trouble, Turn To Stucky
***All Amazon.com links in this post are commission links. This means I earn commission from purchases made in the US***
Please do not use my links to make UK purchases.
'“You mean after spending half the day thinking my ex-boyfriend was dead and then finding out that he’s alive but also a wanted criminal? I’m not doing great honestly!”'
I mean... in times of trouble, we should always turn to Stucky.
The world is somehow a little better when Captain America has a boyfriend. Obviously.
...And the most likely boyfriend (hell, the most likely romantic partner full stop #FightMe) for our dear Steve Rogers is Bucky Barnes.
Sorry, alternative shippers. Your ships have value, but I can't be convinced. 😉

Nerd Church - St. David's Day Special! Let's Talk Robert Downey Jr as Dolittle!
Robert Downey Jr's performance as Dolittle is amazing. And he does it with a Welsh accent.
...I think it's fair to say, though, that the accent has had a mixed response.
And since today is St. David's day - and I never lose a chance to talk about Wales and being Welsh - what better time to discuss it?!
