Comics Wrap-Up - These Other Thorns Are Rosy
Check out all the random comics and superhero stuff I've been watching/reading/whatever-ing this week:

Friday Fics Fix - A Different Kind of Poison
(Warning: this post is basically about Depression.)
'Today, however, all Venom can discern is what could be considered the cerebral equivalent of static. Everything is fuzzy and the thoughts that are trying to surface keep coming up blurry, with no real impulse behind them.'
I love Venom.
I love Venom to the end of the Earth. Cos I'm just that kind of weird sassy nerd.
So I've been reading Venom fanfiction.

Friday Fics Fix - Iron Can Be Cold, But Spiders Need Warmth
'Peter grunts. His eyes open only slightly, but it doesn't look like he understands where he is. The kid is like dead weight slung over Tony's metal-clad shoulders. He's also freezing cold.'
Let's have some Tony-Peter Father-Son-type-cuteness with a side of self-care, shall we?
I love that fics like this exist!
I also love that fics can take a random thought, like, for example 'what if Peter Parker has the same lack of thermoregulation as a spider?' and f**king runs with it!

Comics Wrap-Up - Where Is Your Boy Tonight?
Friday 2 November 2018
Friday Fics Fix - Am I More Than You Bargained For, Yeah?
'She comes back with a hiker’s backpack, out of which she pulls a pair of jersey shorts, black leggings, a red bandana and a bunch of colorful string bracelets.
"Jesus," Sam says, looking it over. "Is there some naked hippie grad student knocked out somewhere in the hotel right now?"
"None of these items will be traced back to us," Natasha says soothingly, which doesn't answer his question.'
Oh man, this fic! This fic is EVERYTHING.
Honestly, the dedication it takes to write over 500 pages of the Winter Soldier, aka Bucky Barnes, prioritising self-care and dealing with seventy years worth of trauma is freaking amazing!

Friday Fics Fix - I Need Oliver Queen
'"...John, Curtis, Dinah, and Rene. All of them. They have issues and they blame it on you. Maybe because it's easy to."
Oliver looked up at her quickly, "Why is it easy?"
"Probably because you already blame yourself for everything," Felicity said, smiling sadly.'
I'm in an Oliver Queen kind of a mood! 💘
The new series trailer (which I featured in yesterday's comics wrap-up,) has got me in the mood for some Arrow!

Comics Wrap-Up - I Wear This On My Sleeve
Trailers and more fun stuff from both Marvel and DC this week for you my nerdlets!
Let's get this wrap-up started!:
Friday 21 September 2018
Friday Fics Fix - Love Vs War. Freedom Vs Silence.
'He’d read all of Bucky’s letters over and over till he almost knew them by heart, and none of the phrases in the transcript were in any of those letters. There must be another letter, one that never got sent.'
Stop the presses, Cee's back on the Stucky!
Shocking, I know.
(Fangirling notes: Stucky is a Steve Rogers (Captain America) and Bucky Barnes romantic and/or sexual relationship. You can't tell me it doesn't make sense.)

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!!!!!!!!!!!
