April was rough, mental health-wise.
I'm OK - just having to adapt and take care.
...It's kind of worse when there's no real reason or trigger because there's nothing you can blame, y'know?
...and it really doesn't help that the pollen this year is exceptionally, brutally, high, so my hayfever is extra-present this year.
Kind of hard to focus on your mental health when the pollen is making you feel like a zombie, lol.
(Oh, and hayfever is linked to climate change. #TrueStory.)
Warning: this is probably obvious, but we're gonna talk blood, death, and murder
You ever notice that vampires are filthy stinking rich?
I was talking about this topic with Em @ The Paperback Princess a while back (...I can't find the conversation, but it exists, I'm sure! 😅):
You rarely see fiction or media with vampires who struggle to pay the bills
- which does mean that they're in line to combine with a dozen or so other tropes to make romance novels titled 'The Alpha Bad-Boy Motorbike CEO Billionaire Daddy Vampire's Baby Surprise.'
Apologies if that's the title of your novel - because I feel like this thing exists somewhere.
And if it didn't before, it does now 😅
But moving away from romance novels and things that would even make fanfiction writers wonder if you may have overdone the tropes...
'B-Eazy: do we tell her
is it like an invasion of privacy
Ava Sharpe: This entire team is an invasion of privacy.'
I had a lot of Legends of Tomorrow (LoT) feelings this week...
...because it was CANCELLED! Argh!
I love this show. I'ma miss it so much - it's one of my faves dammit!!!! ðŸ˜
It's Thursday, we reached May, this week's post is huge, let's get some comics-y superhero-y goodness!
'I feel the need... the need to read!'
- Anonymous bookish meme, based on a Top Gun reference
I'm a mood-reader.
I read every single day.
...I need to.
'“You mortals are truly horrendous at naming constellations.”'
This week's fanfiction is short and sweet.
I fully admit it - this be schmoopy af.
No angst as far as the eye can see. (...Which is highly unusual with me involved, obviously 😅)
