For those of you who don't know, synaesthesia is: a) a melding or running together of two senses, and b) something that I have.

Technical Difficulties - Life/Blogging Update
Hi my nerdlets! This is an impromptu post to let you know that my laptop's broken.
I'm going to be honest, this isn't a surprise. I've literally been sticking it back together with sellotape and model glue for a while now.
What it does mean, though, is that my blogging is going to be limited for a little while until I can get a new one.
At the moment, I have what time I can get on the family desktop, and my mobile phone.

Nerd Church - Please, Shut Up About the Royals
I'm British. But I don't care about the royal family. I don't care about the royal baby. I don't care about Harry marrying Meghan.
What I do care about is that I keep having to hear about them all.
Social and mainstream media are both fawning over all things royal and... *sighs* I don't mind like one news-in-brief report or whatever guys, but everyone seems to have freaking lost it, tbh.

Friday Fics Fix - Severely Severus
I know, I know, Severus Snape is kind of a divisive figure in the online bookish community, and with fans in general.
Lotsa people love him - he's a hero, a tragic figure, a hopeless romantic.
Lotsa people hate him - he's a bully, a sneak, an obsessive and petty man.

Nerd Church - Toxic Friendships, and Reclaiming Enthusiasm
(Warning: this post discusses toxic/abusive friendships, homophobia, and emotional abuse.)
I was a weird kid.
At 6 years old, my passions were Beethoven, Renoir, and The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.
I loved writing my own stories and playing games which somehow always involved more witches than princesses (although, combining the two was never out of the question!)
