Welcome to our new hump day series, for when you need a little mid-week snack. If you’ve been hanging out with us for any amount of time, you know we have a fictional crush unlimited fictional characters. We’re too excited to celebrate our favorites even more with these weekly appreciation posts.

If only felt right to begin this series with the man who has taken the internet by storm: M’Baku. Played by Winston Duke, M’Baku was one of the greatest parts of Black Panther (next to… every other part, because that movie is amazing). To avoid any movie spoilers, we’re going to stop talking and simply focus on all of this beauty:

It’s 75F with about 80 percent humidity. I am sticky, sunburnt, every muscle hurts and my lungs threaten to picket in search of more airtime. My hand hurts from holding my broom and I have several bruises already forming. A finger on my other hand got squished in the battle for a bludger.

I hear cheers behind me, and thank goodness, we caught the snitch. This game is over and we’re victorious. I high five my teammates and after our discussion, race to the shade where I feel like melting into the blanket.

Welcome to Texas, where football may be #1, but quidditch rules in other circles.

That’s “quidditch”, with a small q, defined by Oxford Dictionary as a noun.

Warning: May Contain Spoilers For The Last Jedi

I, like many other geeks out there, have been blown away by the latest installment in the Star Wars franchise, The Last Jedi. Seriously, my jaw dropped half way through the movie, and I could not pick it back up again.  

As a long-time fan of the Star Wars universe, from my undying love of the original trilogy, my shameless defense of the prequels, and my almost endless consumption of the books, TV series, and spin off movies, I can say that The Last Jedi might be my new favorite.

London has been a destination city for people from around the world for literally centuries, and it’s certainly no different today. The city is steeped in history, is a melting pot of culture, and is home to some of the most notable works of art and familiar architectural landmarks in the world. To us, it’s also home to many of our favourite shows and films, from Sherlock to Notting Hill and everything in between. Of course, we’d be remiss if we didn’t bring up Harry Potter.

Hello fellow fashionable geeks! My name is Kate, and I’m going to be kicking off a series of posts on cosplay and fandom fashion with a beginner’s tutorial on how to cosplay as Rey, complete with handy-dandy links and everything you need to become everyone’s favorite Jedi heroine!

The first time I wore it out to a convention, I had butterflies the entire Lyft ride there. What would people think of my outfit? Was I just a big faker who couldn’t keep up with those really talented cosplayers? Should I have just worn real people clothes and not put myself out there?
