THIS IS STILL AN ENDGAME SPOILER-FREE ZONE!!!
Please and thank you. #Don'tSpoilTheEndgame
But despair not! I have some ultra-interesting vids and links to fulfil all your superhero-nerd-itches! (Well... maybe not *all* of 'em - there's enough weird sh** on the Internet without me adding to it!)

Month in Review(s) - April 2019
April - well, April didn't have any work-related nose-bleeds, for a start!
Thanks to everyone for asking if I was ok, etc, last month - honestly I think you guys were a lot more worried about it than I was 😅
On the one hand, April had Easter and chocolate and spring flowers, and all that awesome stuff!
Y'know, lots of fun stuff to enjoy and smile about! 😊

Nerd Church - The 9 Most Annoying Things That Have Been Said To Me About Being A Second-Generation Vegetarian
I was raised Vegetarian.
So even as Vegetarianism and Veganism has become more main-stream, I've been sat here in a unique kind of space, that not many people get to see.

I've spent my entire life as a Vegetarian.
Which, especially when I was younger, before it became popular, did create some tensions... not least because nothing used to be labelled with a 'V' or whatever.

Friday Fics Fix - They Didn't Teach Us This At the Academy
"I swear, all the doors in this damn house are going to be destroyed by the end of tonight," Diego muttered.
Yes, we are Umbrella Academy-ing again dearest nerdlets!
(Not least because it's a safe place to hide from Endgame spoilers! Lol.)

Nerd Church - Hope Against Hatred
(Warning: this post discusses terrorism and hate crimes)
Is it me, or is the world in a free-fall of hate?
Between the Sri Lanka attacks, the murder of Lyra McKee, and the day-to-day hate crimes we see here, there, and everywhere, it can sometimes feel like there's no hope left.
There is. There is hope.
There will always be hope.

Friday Fics Fix - Friends Don't Let Friends Execute Other Friends
'...it started with a bandit, sword falling downwards towards Arthur’s exposed side.
It started with Merlin, leaping from behind a tree, hand outstretched, eyes gold, a wordless cry of fear on his tongue.
It started with a bandit flying through the air, and Arthur turning to Merlin with fear in his eyes.'
I love BBC's Merlin.
First, cos it's just generally awesome. Second, cos anything that continues to re-tell Celtic/Welsh mythology makes me happy! 😁
