Nerd Church - Do We REALLY Value the ART?
I love Fine Art, and have done since I was a teensy babbi.
(Which slightly confused my parents who were expecting a child rather than an art, music, and literature lover, but anyways...)
I'm not so much of a fan of Modern Art, though, 'cos it tends to be either ugly or pretentious af - or sometimes both. Lol.

Friday Fics Fix - Rub-a-Dub
'Draco may have screamed (in a very manly and authoritative way, he later insisted to Harry) when he saw the state of the bathroom.'
Sometimes, with fanfiction, you only have two choices: fun and fluffy... or things you can't unsee.
I mean, I don't make the rules, I just read the fics.

Fanfiction Reading Challenge 2019 Update #1
I figured I’d do an update for the 2019 Fanfiction Reading Challenge!
I originally planned on writing and posting this update waaaayyy before now - but life, the universe, and everything got in the goddamned way! Lol.
This challenge is hosted by the lovely Carrie @ Cat on the Bookshelf, and I picked option 2 – which is a list of types of fics.

Nerd Church - My New Self-Care Strategy
(Warning: this post discusses low self-esteem and Depression)
I have a plan!
My plan is this: to treat myself BETTER than I think I deserve.
'Hang on Cee!' I hear you cry (well, I don't but it's a structural narrative device,) 'What the hell are you talking about?!'
Let's rewind.

Friday Fics Fix - Twists and Turns
'Trying to talk to Five is like talking to a brick wall that thinks it’s smarter than you and disappears as soon as it gets bored, which is quickly.'
Let's visit The Umbrella Academy!
(I will never tire of this show.)

Comics Wrap-Up - God is a Woman
Once a year, there is the event of all comics-y-ness - San Diego Comic Con (SDCC).
Unfortunately, most of us can't sell our souls to get to SDCC...
...but fortunately, the trailers the big companies release there trickle out over the next couple of weeks, and the big announcements are pretty much immediate!
