Comics Wrap-Up - These Other Thorns Are Rosy
Check out all the random comics and superhero stuff I've been watching/reading/whatever-ing this week:

'It's A Superpower!' - A Discussion On Synaesthesia With Evelina From Avalinah's Books
Synaesthetes are basically superheroes. (I’ve decided. #DealWithIt.)
We have two or more senses linked together - for example, some of us see music, or feel colours - and we each generally view the world in our unique way!
So what happens when one Synnie comes across another?
And what happens if they both happen to be book bloggers?
Will they write the longest post either of them has ever written in a random ramble of awesomeness?
Welp, we’re about to find out! 😉
On Dora Reads today we have the amazing-ful Evelina from Avalinah’s Books - a fellow Synnie and all around awesome-sauce person! 😆

Nerd Church - If You Change Your Mind, You Know Where I Am
(Re: the title - yes, I spotted a chance to quote Panic! lyrics 😅)
Why are we, as hooman beans, so reluctant to change our minds?
Do we think there'll be some sort of moral judgement if we do?
Do we think we'll look bad or unintelligent?

Friday Fics Fix - A Different Kind of Poison
(Warning: this post is basically about Depression.)
'Today, however, all Venom can discern is what could be considered the cerebral equivalent of static. Everything is fuzzy and the thoughts that are trying to surface keep coming up blurry, with no real impulse behind them.'
I love Venom.
I love Venom to the end of the Earth. Cos I'm just that kind of weird sassy nerd.
So I've been reading Venom fanfiction.

Nerd Church - Hope in the Butt-End of the 2010s (or, the News is Always Awful, But We Can Still Smile Sometimes)
"Have you seen the news?"
"No... what's happened now?"
...We all dread it.
Because everything in the world just seems to be going downhill continually.

Friday Fics Fix - Please Take Care of the Random British Man
'Lestrade looked on, bewildered, as Sherlock began to help himself to the soup.
“You think your life rates lower than a case in John’s eyes?”'
If this post doesn't make sense, it's because I'm tired, have a headache, and my country is slowly falling to pieces.
No, I'm not American. I'm actually British. We have problems too. 👍
(Brexit sh**. Help us.)
