Friday Fics Fix - Cue Hargreeves Family Freakout

 

'“You told me not to lie,” Klaus snaps at him, wiggling his fingers in Ben’s direction. “Zip it, Casper.”'

I haven't rec'd a The Umbrella Academy (TUA) fic in a while.

Aside from rec-lists, I haven't rec'd TUA since September.

...That's probably a record for me.

Nerd Church - Genocide Is Bad, Actually



Warning: this post talks about sensitive topics, including the current conflict in the Middle East, genocide, and the Holocaust


candle





It was Holocaust Memorial Day yesterday (27th January) and one thing needs to be said to honour that: genocide is bad.

No matter who the intended victims are, no matter who the perpetrators are, genocide is bad.

Friday Fics Fix - We All Know Where This Is Going

 

 

'It’s just that Bucky has spent his entire life trying to fulfill obligations — for the war, for Steve, for HYDRA — and now that he feels like he can make his own choices, he doesn’t know what to do.'

Bucky's bored.

He's really bored. Like - he needs hobbies. Badly. Preferrably ones with minimal interactions with people because are so... people-y.

Same, Bucky. Same. People are too people-y.

Nerd Church - Beautiful Failure


Warning: some discussion of Anxiety and Depression, brief ref. to abusive friendship


I'm not a fan of failing.

And I know, I know, all the dude-bros and productivity coaches and all that will be like, 'failure is a stepping stone to success!' or some sh**, but it doesn't change the fact that I don't like failing.

I mean, no-one likes failing, if we're being perfectly honest.

I, especially, don't like being Wrong (yes, with the capital W,) - my Anxiety and Depression (more of those capital letters,) tend to latch onto being Wrong and run with it.
