It's Thursday, it's the end of October, let's get some comics-y superhero-y goodness!
It's been something of a week here in the UK - so join me as I attempt a coffee-fuelled explanation of the current situation.
Caffeinated Current Events is a blogpost sub-series where I get jumped up on coffee and explain the slightly/majorly ridiculous state of the world to my darling dearest nerdlets.
Think drunk history without the alcohol, or the benefits of not having to live through this sh**.
This post is one where I'm GOING to get political - you've been warned. Feel free to click away if it's not your thing, I won't even know. 🙈😅

'Something about her made his skin crawl.'
I can't let an October go by without visiting the fandom of Sapphic masterpiece Jennifer's Body, now, can I?
For those who are (sadly) unaware, despite the resurgence in its popularity, Jennifer's Body is a 2009, explicitly Queer, horror movie, starring Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried.
(Yes, explicitly Queer. Don't let people 'Gal Pal' Jennifer's-freaking-Body: it is Sapphic, Harold.)
It's Thursday, life is exhausting, let's get some comics-y superhero-y goodness!
My work-in-progress (WIP) looks nothing like it used to.
I started These Ghosts of Ours - which I hesitantly call a novel - an embarrasingly long time ago, as a teenager.
I've actually probably been working on it for half my life at this point, although I've had massive breaks of years when I didn't do anything on it at all because my life was imploding in various ways, shapes, and forms. 😅
(If I'm lucky I may finish These Ghosts of Ours by the time I'm 100! Woo!)
'“You gotta stop dying on me.”
“Okay? Sure”, Daniel snorted. “Anything else you need, dear?”
“Yes. Help me stay alive.”'
Let me introduce you to Grace Le Domas:

- this is her wedding day.
Today she married the man of her dreams, Alex Le Domas, a family member of the Le Domas boardgame empire.
And tonight, in-keeping with Le Domas family tradition, she'll sit down with her new in-laws and play a game.
This is the horror film Ready or Not.
It's Thursday, this week has gone uber-fast, let's get some comics-y superhero-y goodness!
