Nerd Church - The Dilemma of Morally Dubious Media (Ft. American Psycho, Game of Thrones and Harry Potter)
Warning: this post discusses morally dubious media, including but not limited to: rape, murder, incest, general violence.

American Psycho is about a serial killer that takes pleasure in raping and killing women in the most horrible ways, and the narrative goes into gratuitous detail about it.
Do I have your attention? Buckle up, dearest nerdlets!
No matter what, there is always gonna be media - books, films, TV series, whatever - that is kinda dubious on the ol' morality front.
Is that ok? Is that something we should be consuming? Is that something that people should be creating?
And if it isn't, is that something that we should be supressing?
Should we be, to put it bluntly, censoring it?

Friday Fics Fix - Indulgent and Cute Spidey Sickfic, Because Why TF Not?
'Peter sat stiffly on the couch, unsure of what he was supposed to do. He was too hot (but he was shivering?) and his head ached so miserably he could barely think.'
Look, sometimes you just need something fluffy, k?
I don't have a lot of time to write this post this week on account of life, the universe, and everything, so this week's Friday Fics Fix is kind of thrown together on a wing and a prayer!
Sorry if it sounds a little rushed. It's cos it is. 😅

Nerd Church - New Zealand. What Can I Say?
New Zealand.
What can I say?
Nothing that can make this horrible terrorist attack better or more bearable.
Nothing that can bring back the beautiful people you lost.
All I can give you is my heart, which breaks for you.
All I can give you is my love, in the faint hopes that it will help in some tiny way to sooth what hatred has done.

Friday Fics Fix - Shelter From the Rain and Snow
'Diego can hear his own voice, somewhere between tired and terse, and he scrubs a hand over his eyes, feels the dryness of his palm catch on his stubble.'
I love this fic. It's excellent.
Like, dudes, this is good. Y'know?
I love it when fanfiction is well-written! 😃
