Month in Review(s) - April 2017

(Warning: this post discusses depression, and has brief references to suicidal thoughts.)

April started sh**ty for yours truly - as you'll know if you read my March wrap-up, I've been having depression problems again.

So March wasn't too good, and April started out not too good.

But I went to the doctor, who put my tablet dose up, and things are starting to look up.

I've only been on this new dose for just over a week... but man, I feel so much better. I hate it that people are so anti-meds. I'm still alive because of those tablets.

My nerdlets! For many of you it's exam time! Let me help you!

It may shock you to learn this, but once I was a wee exam-taking nerdlet. And I used to beat the sh** out of exams 😎

...but they also used to stress me out. Which is NOT. GOOD. You won't do as well if you stress, trust me.

Then there's the things no-one talks about... the things that teachers don't seem to think are worth mentioning.

Maybe it's because they can't remember their exam-days, or their exams went really smoothly, who knows?

Whatever the case, your teachers don't tell you these things. But I will.

Friday Fics Fix - Stuck(y) In the Middle With You

I'm Stucky trash. And I'm not even sorry. 😎

(For the record - I have given you non-Marvel-Cinematic-Universe fandoms quite a bit recently. But I sold my soul to the MCU a long time ago. It will always return!

And Bucky is my Bucky Bear - he and Steve are meant for each other.)

(Fangirling notes:

Stucky = a Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes romantical and/or sexual relationship.

Bucky Bear = fandom shorthand for OH MY GOD PROTECT HIM!!! HE'S PRECIOUS!!!)

Nerd Church - Millennials Aren't Lazy (Everyone Else, On The Other Hand...)

Millennials have to take a lot of sh** from older people.

We're constantly being told we're 'soft,' we're 'whiners,' and we're 'lazy.'

None of that is true. We are no more or less soft, lazy, or whiny, than any other generation there has ever been.

What we are is jaded and cynical.

I hate to admit it, but it's the truth. Maybe that's just because we see things a little clearer than older generations, who knows?

We see that things aren't fair - and we aren't afraid to f**king say it.

Friday Fics Fix - Crossover Time!

One of the things I adore about fanfiction is that you lot (you fangirls, fanboys, and other fanfolks of the world,) aren't afraid to say 'F**k it!' and just smash things into each other!

Honestly, a lot of the combinations I've seen are just like: HOW DID YOU EVEN THINK OF THAT?!

(Case in point: That time someone decided that Bruce Wayne and Hermione Granger were meant for each other.)
