Fairy Tail is My Fairy Tale!
Do fairies have tails? It is a question to ponder for any of Hiro Mashima's adoring fans when he created the manga and anime Fairy Tail. Who doesn't crave a world filled with magic? Imagine a world where there is a place for everyone no matter how chaotic, destructive, strange, and disorganized you may be. Magic guilds, like the Fairy Tail guild, are based on friendship and understanding, and give all members a place to belong.

Contemporary Morality in the MCU
I came to the Marvel Cinematic Universe kind of late. Tobey Maguire was firmly cemented as Spider-Man, and I didn’t much understand or care for X-Men. Iron Man, 2008, was alright, but lost in the background against the likes of Twilight and Juno. Keeping an international fanbase engaged in a franchise that now spans more than twenty films in more than a decade is no mean feat. But of course, I’m not sure anyone could understand the sheer magnitude of what this movie would create.

Finding Meaning & Answers Through Fictional Superheroes
The fantasy worlds I reside in may not be your typical idea of fantasy, lacking dragons or space pirates. Make believe has always had to make sense to me. Playing house as a kid made sense since I'd observed adults do it. Joining fantasy worlds with friends was much harder to maintain.
