Nerd Church - The Writer Diaries: When Is A Writer Not A Writer?

...Handmade vs AI mass production.

Have you ever, when out shopping, come across an item — a necklace or a piece of pottery, perhaps — and noticed that it’s marked ‘handmade’…

…and it’s so intricate, so beautiful, that you just think -

Wow.

Friday Fics Fix - Loki In Slo-Mo With Zero Warning

 

'"I have no idea what you're talking about."

"You're a bad liar, Mobius."

"Well, we can't all be Loki, now can we. So do you wanna hear my grand plan or not?"'

We're talking the Disney+ Loki series today dearest nerdlets because IT ENDED LIKE THAT.

...And since I'm clearly not the only fan out there in fandom who has FEELINGS about IT ENDING LIKE THAT, there's a lot of fanfiction.

And long may that state of affairs continue, because Lord knows I need more Loki in my life!

Bucky pretends to think about it. “Would you at least be able to get us free tickets?”'

 

I enjoyed this one way, way, more than I thought I would.

So, this sees Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes from The Falcon and The Winter Soldier (TFATWS) and other Marvel stuff several years after TFATWS ends.

- Enough years, in fact, for Sam's nephew Cass to be going to his high school prom.

And of course Uncle Sam and Uncle Bucky volunteered to chaperone - because sometimes Captain America chaperones your high school prom, y'know?

Comics Wrap-Up - I'm All About The Nerd Humour

 

It's Thursday, me and a squirrel made each other jump yesterday, let's get these comics-y superhero-y things, m'k?

Nerd Church - Migraine Trips

 

You wake up and go downstairs, pausing mid-way down.

The lines of each individual stair seem to waver for a moment.

The stairs themselves seem vaguely Burtonesque - all slanted lines and moving pieces.

Your head hurts and you close your eyes.
