Friday Fics Fix - Angst, Injury, and People Being Fiercely Protective of Izzy

 

 

'“Really? He said all that?” he asks, skeptical and hopeful by equal measure.

“Not exactly,” Stede admits, “He made a rather confusing analogy about the weight of a cannonball and controlled explosions and the two of you being like saltpeter and charcoal together.”'

Look, I never claimed to be a totally emotionally stable human being - not least because I'm not sure such a thing truly exists.

No, in fact, I've been quite up-front about my emo goblin spaghetti brain's weird and wonderful cravings. Mostly of the angsty variety.

...so I think you can probably guess where this post is going 😅

 

Comics Wrap-Up - Falling Back On Faves

 

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

Nerd Church - To-Do List Struggles

 

My to-do isn't that long - at first glance.

But that's mostly because I only write down a few things that I need to prioritise and/or think I'm in danger of forgetting. 😅

My mental to-do list? Much, much, bigger.

Friday Fics Fix - And Now He's An Armadillo

 

'I still think we should try Khonshu, Marc. He’ll be here before long anyway, so…

Nope. He is not having the bird fix this. He will… sort it out. Somehow. Like a big boy.'

Comics Wrap-Up - A Lot Of Sugar and Caffeine

 

It's Thursday, I'm tired and stressed, so let's get some comics-y superhero-y goodness!

Nerd Church - Strange Days

 

Strange days are here to stay
Ever since Bowie died
It hasn't been the same

- Green Day, Strange Days Are Here To Stay

 

The world's weird, right now.

Maybe it always is, always was, always will be.

Still, I can't help but feel - and I know other people will agree - that we're in the middle of a particularly weird and wacky period.

The 2020s haven't exactly been an easy ride so far, and it looks like that isn't changing any time soon.

But whoever you are, wherever you are - keep going.

Friday Fics Fix - A Melancholy Little Story

 

'He looked up at the sky and sent a question to the stars.

“Loki, are you there?”

No answer.'

 

This is a melancholy little story about love and loss...

...I ended up liking it a whole lot more than I thought I would.

(Just goes to show that taking a chance on something sometimes pays off.)
