Nerd Church - Winter Is Here

'You know nothing, Jon Snow.'

(Don't panic: this is a spoiler-free zone.)

Friday Fics Fix - THIS is Cap

Fanfiction is going to save the goddamn world.

I know I say it a lot. But it's f**king true dammit!

The horrendous moves made this week against the rights of American people - especially transgender Americans - is yet another reminder that the world needs to keep fighting.

The world needs to remember that bigotry, fascism, and hatred are NEVER going to be the way forward.

The world needs to remember that Steve Rogers, aka Captain America, will never be a goddamn f**king Nazi!

Nerd Church - Losing Chester

(Warning: this posts contains discussions of suicide – specifically that of Chester Bennington - mental health problems, and grief; it also mentions addiction problems and child sexual abuse.)

First of all guys, if you need help with mental health stuff, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE IN A BAD PLACE RIGHT NOW, there are links to helplines and resources at the end of this post.

You are valuable, you are valid, and we want you here.

The news of the death of Chester Bennington - the lead singer of rock band Linkin Park - was a big and painful shock to his fans.

I cried. And I wasn't the only one.

Friday Fics Fix - You Zigged When You Should've Zagged

One of the most wonderful things about fanfiction is that it asks, again and again, 'What If...?'

This can mean explorations of anything, from looking at characters in a different light, to alternate universes, to changes of plot-point.

Comics Wrap-Up - Least the Ones That I Got Away With

All the good sh** from comics-land is being held back until San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC.)

So my news is a little thin on the ground this week, but still delivered with a smile :)

Everything also comes under the 'Other Stuff' category, because... well, I blame Loki. It's usually his fault.
