It's Halloween, which means that it's my blog anniversary!
- Which in turn means it's time for my annual ramble about this blog, and blogging in general, and all that stuff, while trying not to repeat the stuff from previous blog anniversary posts too heavily!
Woo!
'"Oh god, please tell me you’re not Hydra," said Clint, because he was entirely done with this whole thing now.'
Soulmate AUs are a popular type of AU in fanfiction - I tend to avoid them because they're often exclusionary of Asexual/Aromantic people.
This week's fic isn't - which is why I'm recc'ing it! 😉

It's Thursday, it's still 2020 - let's get some superhero-y comics-y goodness!
Everything is once again in the 'Other Stuff' category (dammit Loki!)

Since I'm once again in Lockdown, and now it's not just local but national for Wales, I figured I'd have a vague ramble about some of things that've been keeping me going through the weirdness that is 2020.

'Duke’s grateful for the small loading dock in the back of the Gull, with its concrete ramp and rolling service door. They rarely take shipments large enough to even warrant having the thing, but it’s remarkably useful for smuggling grizzly bears into the building'
I love (and really miss!) the TV show Haven - a gothicky, horror-y, sci-fi (and SyFy,) series that ran between 2010 and 2015.
It's ostensibly based on Stephen King's novella The Colorado Kid - I've read The Colorado Kid, there are very, very, few similarities.
Instead, it's like a kick-a** mash-up of random elements of Stephen King-ery. Which I love. So much.

It's Thursday, I'm still in local Lockdown, moving into Welsh national Lockdown tomorrow evening... let's get some comics!
(Warning: this post discusses hate crime and bigotry, including racism and Transphobia.)
Last week (ending yesterday) was National Hate Crime Awareness Week in the UK.
Which means that there's been a lot of very productive hashtags -
(no, I'm not being sarcastic - it's possible for hashtags to change the world, and you know it,)
- and shows of support from various institutions.
And it's largely been a very nice, if sometimes luke-warm, effort by said institutions to show solidarity with marginalised groups. Which is good, obviously.
Or... at least I thought it was obvious.
Because I thought it was obvious that hate crimes are, y'know, bad.
But apparently that isn't obvious to everyone.
Because someone, somewhere, dearest nerdlets, will always find a way to be a jerk.
Never more so than on social media.
