Holy crap. I AM LIKE UNTO A GOD. But now I'm feeling a little guilty I've let this pandemic go on for so long.

(But seriously, folks... Glad you're feeling better today!)

He's got a small but great role in this new arc. I just love him so much.

Clint!!! 😍 And perhaps some Bucky ahead too? I'm stoked for this new arc!

Also I need to know more about this "sandwich department" situation in Spiderman. 🥪 🤔

I think my favorite of the kitty pics is Monach eating his brother's tail. Too cute!

Always on board for a book club discussion. I've done something similar on Slack and on Discord with fan groups for comics and fanfic discussions, but only message board style. Everyone was too shy for live voice chat. 😂

Feel better soon! Sending virtual hot beverages! ☕

Yup! They'll both be there this week. A little of Clint and quite a bit of Bucky.

The Sandwich Department will not be stopped!

That's interesting about people being too shy for voice chat! I hadn't thought of that!

I think I could manage to get brave if that's the way you go. 😉

BTW, enjoyed the interview with Another Relaunch. Great discussion! And oh man do I want Rogue to show up as a villain for Carol in the MCU. I would legit lose my shit with excitement. Guess we'll wait and see!

OMG. Yes! I found a fellow Taskmaster-head...or whatever we're called. Do we have names?

Taskamateurs? Gregheads?

Kelly Thompson's avatar

Ha! Both good. I want to say the first one, but Gregheads sounding like Eggheads is maybe too perfect?

I was tempted to include Hornedogs, but it didn’t seem right.

A clip here and there, without Greg and Alex I passed it over. Worth checking out?

Kelly Thompson's avatar

Ha! I urge you to check it out. Off the top of my head, thinking what seasons might be my favorites - NZ Season 1 is maybe my least favorite...BUT!!! NZ Season 2 is maybe my favorite of ALL the episodes UK and NZ. David Correos is PEAK.

Neti pots are amazing for easing congestion. I use mine once a week, more if I'm congested. Hope you feel better soon. Also, my first thought for book club was Discord, too, as David Palomino suggested. I'm in a few groups there, but I wouldn't say I'm great at it. Also also, the cat pictures always make me smile. I love them.

Yeah, Discord or Slack is a good suggestion. My biggest concern with that is that it then becomes another thing I have to check/monitor/moderate/police. But it's not a bad idea for sure!

Haha, jeez, that timeframe you mention in the Another Relaunch interview where you'd not even written a marvel book back when folks started talking about how there needed to be a black widow movie is wiiiiiiiiild stuff.

And as far as movie/book club stuff, the version of this I've seen/taken part in so far just took place in the comments to a substack post! They picked a date/time & announced it a while in advance, and that went well enough that they're doing it again for what it's worth.

Wild is the perfect word. It really is.

Okay, well Substack would definitely be easiest in a lot of ways! I'll go over to the other Substacks and do some snooping.

Not sure if this would be feasible for the book club thing but I know the young folks use…discord? for group discussions/online hangs. Don’t ask me how to use it tho, I tried once and was very confused

Kelly Thompson's avatar

Haha. Yeah, I've got a discord, but it's pretty underused #old.

I'd probably go for Slack if we go this direction, but others are suggesting doing it right here which also makes a lot of obvious sense. Off to do some investigations.

Hope you feel better soon Kelly! :[[[ and as for the book club thing, that sounds super cool but I don't know how feasible it'll be to attend, at least with my schedule. Hope it works out though!
