Marginally Geek

In which we talk about minority representation, blaxploitation, and morality. We also somehow manage to completely forget Mariah Dillard's name while giving every single spoiler you could ever expect about Marvel's Luke Cage series. You're welcome, sports fans.

In which we find our resistance in kindness, get excessively excited, and talk about faith and coming out. Featuring the first Fanworks Appreciation Corner with SobaNoodlez Cosplay.

In which we talk about Steven Universe, Tumblr, and the steam engine fandom. Contains very few spoilers about any of these things, but a lot of thinking about the infrastructure of fictional worlds and what counts as a fandom, anyway. The Autistic Tony Stark fic is "Don't Say It" by bibliomaniac - you can find it here: http://archiveofourown.org/works/7838281. We also talked about "How the Mouth Changes Its Shape" by breathedout (http://archiveofourown.org/works/704773). If you get excited by The Avengers and/or Sherlock, you should read them both, but the second will take you a lot longer.

In which we discuss personhood, trans identity, compassion, and cosplay. Debuting our new Marginalia section! Contains plot spoilers for Dragon Age: Inquisition and vague gender-related spoilers for Doctor Who.

In which Luke often misses the point; Leela hates Xander Harris personally; and we talk about what we bring to, and take from, our favorite media. Contains spoilers for Fight Club, Discworld, Sucker Punch, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Mad Men, and Stranger Things. Makes reference to Alleycat Comics (http://www.alleycatcomics.com/) and this comic (http://www.harkavagrant.com/index.php/index.php?id=311) by Kate Beaton. (It’s the Summoning Dark. We know. We looked it up.)
