Friday Fics Fix - Argh, The Angst In This One!

 

'Ed feels something in his chest, something resembling fondness. He doesn’t know why, he doesn’t even know this guy’s name. And yet, Ed had spent the better part of the last few days thinking of the rich man crying in the rage room, making up stories in his head to justify his presence, his anger, his sadness.'

I mean... it was only a matter of time until I rec'd a novel-length Our Flag Means Death (OFMD) fic.

I am trash. We know this, and we love it (...hopefully.) 😅😈😎

If you haven't watched OFMD yet... Gay pirates and Taika Waititi as Blackbeard. #JustSaying.

Comics Wrap-Up - Especially Heartening

It's Thursday, I'm tired, let's get some comics-y superhero-y goodness!

Friday Fics Fix - There Was Magic Involved and Something Went A Little Weird

'green and gold: in my defense, stark, i actually didn’t mean to

green and gold: there was no malicious intent in this'

 

I love this fic, it's so random.

It's written entirely in chat/text messages, and I literally laughed more than once.

I mean, Iron-dad and Spider-kid with some fluffy FrostIron tossed in for the hell of it?

Hell yes!

Comics Wrap-Up - Aesthetic Hang-Ups

It's Thursday, somehow it's June, let's get some of that awesome superhero-y comics-y goodness!

Nerd Church - Is This A Book Blog, Though?

 

...aka she's back on that existential crisis train again.

Is Dora Reads a book blog?

I mean, yes. But...

Is it, though?

Certainly, I've been calling it a book blog for the past 8+ years, but that doesn't automatically make it one, does it?

I write very few posts which actually, actively, talk about books.

My last review was some time last year, (a mini-review of Klara and the Sun, which you can see here, if you're interested - gotta get that self-promo in!) and I rarely write book lists or discussions.

(For the record, I always intend to write more reviews, and even more lists and discussions, but life has this knack of getting in the way... 😅)

Comics Wrap-Up - What You Do With That Information Is Up To You

 

It's Thursday, this is Dora Reads, so we should probably get some comics-y superhero-y goodness!

Nerd Church - Is 1.5 Still Alive?

Warning: this post may have a negative affect on people who experience Climate Anxiety

As part of the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement, the world made a commitment to stopping the rate at which the world was warming at 1.5C by the end of the Century.

...Which was always going to be a big ask, because, sadly: people.

People and capitalism and governments and big oil and all of that.
