Friday Fics Fix - Happy Easter!

Why did I think it was a good idea to search for Easter fanfiction?!

It's like I don't learn my lesson.

I should've known, after the whole Halloween pumpkin-sex debacle, that adding eggs and bunnies to the mix...

Wow. Just wow.

Comics Wrap-Up - Candy Love

Film Trailers



OK, the thing that made nerd-dom collectively lose its sh** this week was the first teaser trailer for Thor: Ragnarok!

(And once again, proof that Chris Hemsworth needs to be in more comedy - his timing dudes, his timing.)

Really Mini Reviews! - 3 #OwnVoices Asian Historical Novels

Over half of the world's population lives on the continent of Asia, without counting people of Asian descent or birth who live elsewhere.

My reading certainly doesn't reflect that, does yours?

Nerd Church - Disability Is Not Ugly

There's a new TV programme coming on in the UK, Katie Piper's Face to Face, which takes people with skin conditions and shows them how to cover it with make-up.

On an individual basis, I have absolutely no problem if you want to wear make-up. Whatever you want or need to feel like you is fine by me.

The problem I have is not with the participants on the show, it's with this habit reality TV has of placing disabled people in the 'ugly' or 'Other' box.

Shows like Katie Piper's Face to Face, Too Ugly For Love, The Undateables, or Embarrassing Bodies are sending the message that disability means you are wrong.

They're saying that you should somehow be ashamed or embarrassed of who you are, and how you look.

Friday Fics Fix - #AroAceJugheadOrBust

In the interests of fanfiction fulfilling what mainstream media refuses to represent, I went looking for some aroace Jughead fics.

Firstly I have to point out that I have limited knowledge of Archie Comics or Riverdale - as far as I'm aware, we don't even get that programme here (the UK.)







BUT, I do know that in the comics, Jughead is aroace, and touch-averse. It's canon.
