Comics Wrap-Up - Written Into A Corner

It's Thursday, this is Dora Reads, so let's get us some comics-y superhero-y goodness!

Micropoetry From A Whole Bunch Of Months

...Specifically: October 2023 + December 2023 + April 2024 + August 2024

Yes, I know this is a weird combination of months.

Honestly? I kept forgetting to make the graphics, and it just ended up this way 😅

Those with screen readers - the poetry is in the alt-text of the graphics, with forward slash marks for line breaks

Poetry: An Echo

Originally published in the Medium publication 'The Brain Is A Noodle' for the prompt '#WritingPrompt #ShansPoetryPrompt: polaroid moments, write a poem about a moment you wish you’d captured' set by the lovely Lucy Dan



Warning: grief

An Echo

‘Looking for pieces of broken hourglass

Trying to get it all back, put it back together

As if the time had never passed’

Month(s) In Review(s) - June + July 2024

 

Warning: discussions of Depression and pet loss

...OK, doing this as a two-monthly thing is becoming an unintentional habit 😅

The only excuse that I have is that sometimes Depression messes my memory up - and the fact that I entirely (and I mean, entirely,) forgot to write a post for June coincides with some pretty sh**ty mental health days over the past two months.

So, yeah. I'm blaming Depression. And I don't feel bad about that, because it blames me for stuff all the time 😅

Nerd Church - You Pick Up Little Pieces of Yourself

You pick up little pieces of yourself, scattered through the world.




Pieces that belong to others too

 — point, say, ‘look, it’s both of us;’ a modern manifestation of Emily Dickinson’s Nobody.

Friday Fics Fix - Spider-Man and the Winter Soldier (...And Some Nuance)

 

'However, Peter has been called a lot of awful names in the last week for jumping to conclusions – how was he supposed to know that that one mugging was actually Shakespeare in the Park?'

 

This is a quirky and sweet Spider-Man meets Winter Soldier fic.

(MCU - Marvel movies etc., in case you somehow didn't get the clue from 'Spider-Man.')

At first I did wonder whether I'd even enjoy it, but it definitely grew on me.
