Controlling Chaos: A MCU Spideypool Fanfiction

Textual notes: This is set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with the addition of certain comic world characters, storylines, and elements which will fit within but not contradict the MCU. The most notable addition is of course the characters of Spider-Man and Deadpool. Other major points: Logan/Wolverine exists but the X-men do not. There are some mutants, but they are rare and most of the population does not know they exist. Spider-Man and Deadpool are comic based ( not the movies) and they have their basic, general back story/origins, though there will be some differences due to the different setting, lack of X-men, and for artistic license. The time is summer 2013, a year after the Battle for New York.

Note, this is a slash story and later chapters will be explicit.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D

I watched from day 1 and never gave it up like many did.  The show didn’t blow me away like Lost, but I found it fun and entertaining.  And May and Coulson are so freaking awesome.

The show really took off in the second half, particularly leading up to, through, and after the Captain America tie in, and the season finale was fabulous.

I am so looking forward to season 2!

What did You Eat Yesterday vol 1

By Yoshinaga Fumi, published by Vertical

Yoshinaga Fumi is known for her BL (Boys Love) books, and while this series does feature a gay couple, it’s Food Porn not BL Porn.  Well, half of her series are general slice-of-life drama that just happen to have gay characters in it rather than strictly BL, and those tend to be my favorites of hers anyway.

What did you eat yesterday features Shiro Kakei, a narcissistic lawyer and his lover Kenji Yabuki, a more openly out hair stylist.  Shiro’s hobby is cooking, and each chapter spends a fair number of pages intimately covering his cooking.

The art is lovely and clean.  Backgrounds are a bit sparse, but generally gives enough to establish setting.  Shiro looks a bit like her typical leading guy, but Kenji has a bit of a different look for her.   Food looks delicious.

I liked the characters and the look at their life, but I found myself skipping over the description of the food preparation.  I like her work in general and I want to support her work so more will get translated over, I’m not certain this is a series I can really get into.
