...brought to you by me, once again, giving myself a pep-talk and posting it on the internet 😅💪
Listen, the world is rough and tough and kind of awful sometimes.
It feels like everything is crashing and burning and we live in a frankly batpoop timeline.
'“I'm sorry I made you feel like a burden,” Allison admitted.
“Wow, two apologies in one day! You're definitely breaking a Hargreeves record.”'
We are talking The Umbrella Academy (TUA)!
Because the series has now finished - for better or worse (...a lot of people think the ending falls into the 'worse' category, but moving on...)
And that, of course, means that I need to read a whole bunch of TUA fanfiction to fill the umbrella-shaped (...Klaus-shaped) void. (But not the Void, lol.)
It's Thursday, I'm tired, this is Dora Reads, so let's check out some superhero-y comics-y goodness!
August reached my bar for a good month
- which is admittedly so low it's practically touching the floor, but I'ma take it as a win 😅
Unfortunately, August was also pretty damned bad in terms of hay fever
- like, I've had hay fever a lot (more in recent years, because climate change,) but I've rarely felt this unwell with it.
So, yeah, that sucked.
Wales got it's first woman First Minister with Eluned Morgan.
...Which would be a lot more celebration-worthy if her predecessor, Vaughan Gething, Europe's first Black leader of a nation, hadn't been forced out after deeply unfair (imho) and personal attacks, which crossed the line into racism more than once.
So, mixed bag.
Eluned Morgan, btw, fully supported Gething until the end of his short tenure - so the blame shouldn't be placed at her door for this.
In other parts of the UK (England and Northern Ireland,) there were racist riots.
...So not a good look for the UK in general in August, racism-wise. *Sighs*
People suck sometimes.
My regular series (Comics Wrap-Up, Friday Fics Fix, and Nerd Church,) went on break in August, and I didn't post much all-in-all.
- I try to do that every so often so that posts don't start feeling like too much of a chore. 😅
All three are back in action now, though. So September's post-list will be a lot longer than this one.

It's my birthday today (15th Sep) so I figured I'd have a little fun.
(...of the nerdy sort, because that's on-brand, let's be honest.)
So, y'know that thing where people talk about their ideal celebrity dinner guests, either living or dead, fictional or real?
This isn't that.
But it is somewhat adjacent to that.
I thought that instead I'd talk about my celebrity birthday party list - with the twist that they also have to have their birthday on September 15th. Just because it's an awesome date, let's be honest.
So, here's my celebrity birthday buddies:
'The first look at his demon had his mind reeling, and he swore softly.
"What in Hel?!"
Anthony Stark gave him a smug grin and a chuckle.'
You know in this house (...blog, shh,) we like creativity, yeh?
We also like FrostIron (Tony Stark and Loki in a romantic and/or sexual relationship.)
So... hopefully you can see where this is going 😅
It's Thursday, this is Dora Reads, so let's get us some superhero-y comics-y goodness!
