Friday Fics Fix - Lady Love
'Ava stops and stares. There is Sara Lance, trained assassin and former vigilante, face down on her desk drooling. When Sara snorts and a little drool bubble forms at the corner of her mouth, Ava has to slap her hand over her mouth to keep from laughing out loud.'
Sara Lance, former Black Canary, current White Canary, general bad-a**, assassin, and time-ship captain; an amazing hero.
She's awesome. She's also a Bisexual lady with an open preference for the ladies over the dudes.
She leads the way for Queer rep. in the Arrowverse (that's all the CW's DC superhero shows.)

Comics Wrap-Up - One More Off-Key Anthem
I don't know whether you've noticed lately, but these comics wrap-ups are less thorough than they used to be - but don't panic! That's on purpose.
It was getting to the point where I was trawling things formulaically and obsessing over not missing anything.
So I figured I'd take it back to basics - sharing comics-related stuff I found awesome or funny or whatever over the course of the week! 😎

Friday Fics Fix - An Unlikely Friendship
"Nah." Peter is holding Ned's ankles, and every time Coach Jones walks by Ned does a half hearted push-up. "He gave me peanuts and told me he wasn't dead? I think he's lonely."
Every so often, a fic drops into your lap that you weren't expecting.
And I love that feeling. I love it. Not least because it becomes less common as you become more familiar with fanfiction.
I value that reminder that fanfiction can still surprise me! 😊

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 😉

Comics Wrap-Up - We Really Are Ants Now

Month in Review(s) - April 2018
April... ha, so, what's May lookin' like? 😅
April happened. I lived through it *starts singing I'm still standing by Elton John and doing an incredibly embarrassing dance.*
My grandmother is still in hospital - she went in at the beginning of March - but she's definitely improving. We're basically waiting for a social care package in place so that she can go home, because there's no way my 88-year-old grandfather can take care of her.
And on the last day of April my laptop - which had been hanging on on a wing and a prayer, granted - gave up the ghost.
On the plus side, I reached over 3k Twitter followers in April! I love you guys, really! XD

Month in Review(s) - March 2018
March. Ah, March.
There was some good, incredible, awesome stuff - like a Fall Out Boy concert last week (completely awesome!) and hitting 200k page-views on Dora Reads (I LOVE YOU MY NERDLETS!!!) - but there was also a lot of stress, worry, Anxiety, etc.
There's a lot of personal stuff going on atm, including my grandmother being in hospital since the beginning of the month - and thanks so much for your support my dearest nerdlets! You rock, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate it!
March, for yours truly, was one of those months with too much trouble, and too little time to deal with it.

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.
