Anyway last night in my #CityofMist game I pulled my Gotham City Harvey Dent sacrifice for the greater good and gave a #MarvelRivals strategist style power up to my team and now I have to think of an appropriate mythos for two-face and pray I *stay* at 2 logos 2 mythos. Because balance.
I woke up *so ready to believe it's wednesday and I had to go to work I was trying to get out the door and I realized its tuesday...and I don't work today.
Like I'm standing here in my uniform halfway out the door.
In my latest for @publisherswkly.bsky.social, I interviewed 10 LGBTQ+ authors about their upcoming nonfiction or historical fiction books about queer and trans community building and safety in the face of oppression and violence.
Do I yap a lot about comics that don't go anywhere? Yes
Do I absolutely know when to recommend absolute (get it?) Bangers?
Y e s.
Really fucking happy my friends got into this.
A black screenshot of a twitter post in white text with the following message: "I was extremely upset on a family vacation once and i asked my brother how he drags so calm and he said that he tries not to think about anything that isn't boobs or swords and every day I try to live up to that example"
emotional vulnerability kicking in late at night? 1) go lie down 2) remember this post
I mean IF PEOPLE DON'T THINK HE'S AN ASSHOLE he's just Ben Reilly but muscles. He's Kaine. There's like five of him.
And if he is just "dad" then he's Paul without the cock blocking.
This protects the character's integrity.

I...I just said that without people hating #EddieBrock and letting him just be a dad he'd just be superpowered #PaulRabin...
Goodbye everyone. I think I just signed my death warrant. #venom #spiderman
I'm on the struggle bus mentally and I could use some support. It involves my housing and while I have options and time, I'm not gonna be settled.
So. Thats stress I didnt need. People don't talk about housing insecurity affecting you long after you aren't...insecure anymore. #housing.
My review of this week’s #DaredevilBornAgain for @ign.com, as Bullseye’s plan was revealed www.ign.com/articles/dar...
But oh ho ho. If the right panel is about Eddie...the unintentional ignorance is *staggering*.
And not everyone is as forgiving as I am. Ive said my peace and I'll leave it be but *oh* gosh.
Marvel continuing to not do right by mental health man. Of anybody involved!
#venom #spiderman /fin
Might know? *should* know. They all should know better. But. Again. Leeway. I'm genuinely happy they are keeping Eddie and moving him to somebody who seems interested and *understands people can be mentally fucked up and break the law.* #venom #spiderman /3
I'm willing to extend a great deal, an *immense* deal of leeway to writers in this day and age since while I don't know what this is you'd gotta figure the guy behind "I kill Giants" might know *more*.
The urge to ask for an explanation tho? *overwhelming*
#marvelcomics #spiderman #venom /2
Everyone is talking about left panel. Being bad writing but this is why #absolutebatman is smoking Marvel, arcs are *ending* and someone pointed out this arc is 20 years too late.
The right panel..
#addiction #mentalhealth #venom #marvel /
I might be the only person who sees this as a very true-to-life outcome if #Marvel wants to tell ah addict story.
If the right panel is referring to Eddie with a defective brain? Marvel is *very* lucky nobody caught just how #ableist that is. Because that's so ableist. #mentalhealth #spiderman
I am having one of the shittiest couple of days in *a long fucking time* but this is *INCREDIBLY WELCOME NEWS.*
These are two *very big issues* being brought up in #deathspiral but them giving them space to *be apart* with a crackerjack fucking team like Juanan Ramirez and my GOAT soule?
Sweet boys are at the hospital. :3
Maybe that's God. Maybe thats where we find God. In the fear of art and soul being taken by AI. In loss and letting go. In resisting, persisting, and being awful. In making Joy *and* Horror.
But oh...oh I am so tired in this moment. In creation.
Because its the fight that inspires the best of us.
The desire to face fear and conquer the unknown.
The desire to bring down the enemy.
That creates the moments that shape us. And I don't know how to live without that.
Big and small.
I've seen what its like to be homeless, I've seen visceral real proof the system is broken and humanity is brutal. And ive seen people survive despite it
And I think maybe I do all of this to offset my own arrogance because I don't think we're supposed to be fixed.
Ever. Until we as a species go.
Hear me out. Hear me out.
If you didnt see the extreme of s corrupt bloated nation ignorant in its sloth against the resilience and ability to make art and live and make joy in horror.
Would the sins of one be as horrific to you as the other is joyous.
I wish I could explain the cognitive dissonance but all I can think of is compare the absolute joy of the Artemis II to the fear of Trump dropping nukes and sit with both feelings.
Everything from American arrogance to the resilience of the nations we oppress is beautiful.
I give. I give to gofundmes. I go to protests. I try and learn. I try and do the right things like support and try and advocate.
And I am so...grateful and pissed at all 8 billion of you stupid chucklefucks.
I truly wish I could hate you. I try so fucking hard to hate all of you.
And I can't
One of the cats I take care of, the one below, is getting TNR'd and adopted. The sweetest one.
Eddie Brock is being used as an excuse to be fatalistic about sick people. But MJ is helping break a cycle for a kid.
Both stories in their own way. Both important. Both hurt. Both good.
I'm not okay.
Re-read some very specific passages of @stephenking.bsky.social 's finders keepers the other day and I'm unashamed to tag the guy and say "hey. Seeing an obsessive fanatic do everything your antagonist *did* helped me realize fans and fandom and obsession are bad news bears.
Thank you sir.
LEGO's Claude Monet – Bridge over a Pond of Water Lilies set is so beautiful, it deserves to be in The Met.
Representation doesn't have to be the core of every artistic master piece and yeah you *should* be able to ignore and move on but people approach media differently than I think anybody is willing to admit.
