Nerd Church - Some Reminders To Myself (And Maybe You, Too)
It's been a rough week, mental-health-wise.
So I figured I needed to remind myself of a few things - and hopefully some of them will be helpful reminders to you, too.
Disclaimer time: I am not any kind of mental health, medical, or psychological professional. I'm a chick with a blog.

Friday Fics Fix - This Is An Angst-Fest
'Tony Stark had, until now, been having a good day.'
I'm not gonna lie: this is an angst-fest.
This is pure, premium, 'should we be worried about fic authors?' angst.
...Which is why I love it, ofc. 😅

Nerd Church - The Devil Wears Double Standards
Warning: this post briefly discusses sexual assault and slut-shaming/victim blaming.
I recently read The Devil Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger.
And while I largely enjoyed it, and it's really well written, I have Some Thoughts™ about the way it treats women - especially women with any type of ambition or aspirations.
The Devil Wears Prada is a book about Andy, who becomes an assistant to Miranda Priestly - boss b**ch in chief at fashion magazine 'Runway.'
Miranda is a living nightmare who seems to delight in making her assistants' lives hell.

Friday Fics Fix - A Hero Descended From Villains
'...they’d known that something was wrong, just as much as they’d known that they couldn’t let Brainy out of their sight.'
Supergirl is one of the CW Arrowverse shows.
Like most of these shows, Supergirl is a cancelled series.
Which makes me sad. But we have fanfiction! Woo! (Lol.)
