Comics Wrap-Up - And The Silence Is So Deafening, It's Like Picking at a Sore
I'm super-tired this week, so if I'm spouting nonsense and/or using verbiage and syntax usually found only in 19th Century novels (a weird habit I have sometimes when I'm tired,) then that's why! 😅

Friday Fics Fix - Shuri, Girl-Genius
If, like me, you're currently obsessed with all things Black Panther, and want MORE dammit! - then you're in luck.
This week's fic is, indeed, more from the characters from Black Panther - and, more specifically, Shuri.

Comics Wrap-Up - You're Gonna Hear Me Roar
Firstly, my dearest nerdlets, Happy St. David's Day/Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Sant Hapus! You can check out some Welsh-language music in a blogpost I wrote on Sunday to celebrate.
Yes, I have now seen Black Panther! It was totally awesome-ful! XD (And most of what I have for you this week is Black Panther-related!)
And this week is one of those weeks where everything I have for you comes under the 'other stuff' category. Blame Loki. #AlwaysBlameLoki

Friday Fics Fix - Something Trashy
Dumpsters! Friendship! Diversity! What more could you want?!*
I've told you before, my dearest nerdlets, about the awesomeness that is the 'dumpster brothers' meme/trope/sub-fandom/whatever!
But, in case you need some refreshment: Clint Barton (Hawkeye) and Matt Murdock (Daredevil) combine their odd habit of ending up in dumpsters to become friends!
(Yes, it's usually as random as it sounds!)
*Don't answer that.

Comics Wrap-Up - My Heart Is In Danger From Shadows and Strangers Now
No, I haven't seen Black Panther yet - I'm going to go see it Monday, hopefully! :)
So on with the rest of this week's comics wrap-up:

Comics Wrap-Up - If This Is What You Want Then Fire At Will
I'm writing this week's wrap-up with the flu. So if I say things that don't make any sense, just smile and pat me on the head, k? 😉

Comics Wrap-Up - They Say We Are What We Are
Due to some American football hijinks, we got an Avengers: Infinity War trailer this week.
I can't help but feel that we've had more in past years. But if a random-a** sport wants to give me superheroes, I'm fine with it! ;)
(And yes, it is American football - real football is played with a round ball and two nets #JustSaying. Also, I was a fantastic goalie as a kid. #TrueStory.)

Month in Review(s) - January 2018
January felt like a month which put a rocket to my secret* blogging powers.
I don't know why, but I actually really liked the posts I wrote this month! And I'm (finally) beginning to get a handle on the whole 'juggling work, life, blogging, and miscellaneous other stuff' thing.
That said, I've probably just jinxed myself for the year ahead. My life tends to resemble an episode of Milo Murphy's Law sometimes 😅

Friday Fics Fix - Festive F/F!
I actually really liked this week's fic (well... obviously... since I'm recommending it... but you know what I mean!)
Sometimes a fic comes along at just the right moment - I mean, who doesn't need something short, sweet, and warming right now?!

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.
