Friday Fics Fix - Ghosting Through
'Twitching his fingers before scrunching the light grey fabric up in his fingers. The small motion making his fingers ache and nearly all of his joints pop. Speaking with his voice coming out harsh and scratchy, “now where?”.'
Sometimes you just come across something fresh and interesting and... you have to read the thing.
This fic is the thing. I had to read it.
OK, I've talked about Danny Phantom and my UNDYING LOVE for that cartoon before now.

But if you're not aware of it:
Basically, this kid is half-ghost (yes, that's a thing, just go with it,) and fights bad ghosts; his parents are ghost hunters and don't know he's half-ghost because they're both oblivious and a li'l incompetent.
...But they have moments of brilliance that always seem to negatively affect Danny. Because typical 00's cartoon parents.

Nerd Church - Escapism, Reality, the Power of Stories, and Brigsby Bear
Films, books, media, stories.
They’re how we talk, communicate, connect with each other, with the world around us, and how we understand ourselves.
At least, that’s true for me, maybe it’s not for you.
Or maybe you just think it’s not the way it is for you 😉
...when I was making the graphic I somehow wrote 'realism' instead of reality but *shrugs* same diff I suppose! 😅 |
There’s an amazing, adorable, and, in places, heart-breaking, film called Brigsby Bear.
I love it.
It’s one of those films which rips your heart out, hands it to you, and then is like ‘look! This is what your heart looks like! Look at all the blood and gunk and stuff!’ (Metaphorically, of course.)
It’s hard to talk about Brigsby Bear without either a) getting spoiler-y, or b) descending into fangirling to such an extent that all I’m doing is making a series of inarticulate noises.

Friday Fics Fix - Crows and Culture
“You are the only raven-man?”
“To my knowledge,” Diaval said. “Though most of the ravens I meet don’t believe me when I say I am sometimes human.”
I LOVE Maleficent.
It's an amazing movie, and I am super-super excited for Maleficent 2!
And only like, 70-75% of my love for Maleficent has to do with how stunningly attractive Angelia Jolie is in the title role! 😅
