Clea and Wanda talk. Clea applauds how Wanda dealt with Dormammu in a way that causes him pain with a hint of righteous cruelty. She says Strange is often too moral for such effective tactics, though she does love him

"My husband is sometimes too freakin nice"

Yeah his Strange was great!

Bats possesses Donna, so he can use her body and inherent magics to defend her. They blast Dormammu in the face with a magic beam going FRAZATTT

Lol sick

Bats appears from a portal to defend Donna. It is very clear he's about to bark VERY viciously at Dormammu. One of his ears is very floppy

BATS!

Dormammu says Donna has fire in her? But she's too weak to use it, but he can wield it well. She responds that it's "too bad [he] can't have it."

I love when a child is like "yeah well FUCK you" in whatever form they're allowed to say it

Dormammu attacks Clea and her Yong sister Donna. Clea explains to Wanda, psychically, that Dormammu is wounded and wishes to feed on his bloodline to heal, and Donna is very full of magic energy. Donna is running, stepping on floating disks as she avoids debris on the ground. It's unclear if Clea is summoning those or if Donna is doing it

FLEE, MAGIC TODDLER, FLEE!

Cover of Sorcerer Supreme 5, showing Wanda and Clea doing "magic poses", Dormammu looming in the background reaching toward the women, and Bats the ghost dog hovering in front of Wanda.

Bats!!! You give all the moral support you can, you amazing talking ghost dog.

I haven't read it, but am aware of the general gist of Meggan's original portrayal

Is Meggan a maternal surrogate? She was pretty "immature" for a while in Excalibur

Good morning gang

Dang

👀👀

She DOES kick Blackbolt's ass so there's that

“Full of humor and heart. A new classic—I hope we get an entire series of Supergirl stories from this dream team!” –Preeti Chhibber (Spider-Man’s Social Dilemma, House of Harkness)

What does it mean that my pal Preeti Chhibber enjoyed Supergirl’s Family Vacation? EVERYTHING.

Like she started as a walking disco ball, got supercharged, then reduced back to it

Not me realizing the idea of going to the different cultures and places to "help and/or recruit" the exemplary members in service of combating a great, potentially undefeatable, evil in my homegrown campaign is just-- Mass Effect. Like it's awesome but yeah I subconsciously based it off Mass Effect

Hmmm *investigates my headshape*

They used the Mass Effect noises and music in the background as he is talking and now I'm just-- reminiscing.

I'm going to have to play these again, damnit haha

Lou Wilson romancing about KoTOR and Mass Effect on @worldsbeyondnumber.bsky.social has me crashing out because WE'RE THE SAME (in this respect). They're so good and it's amazing how he says it affects him and his storytelling.
Especially his reaction to finishing ME3. Just--ugh yes

😈😜

Thanks! 😁
I was feeling a bit brain drained during that workout so I tend to forget important things 😜

Claws out, law's out

NASA kills future x-ray mission $1 billion AXIS proposal fell victim to agency upheaval, principal investigator says

Just found out that AXIS has been disqualified as 10% over budget.

Nothing to do with 20 staff lost to White House cuts, 6-week gov shutdown, moves to kill the Probe programme.

The science was never reviewed.

This is the result of political chaos.

"I was ABSOLUTELY told that the Democrats would be bringing knives to the gun fight. What the fuck are they doing bringing guns?" --a whole lot of Republicans looking at the results from Virginia right now

Cool cool cool. Felt a need to vent. I appreciate the response!

I feel like Scream 8 could fully from top to bottom divest from Sidney’s past and stand on its own.

You can still have cameos (Sod included) and rules and callbacks but to have a completely new set of lore like when we first met Sid but with someone who’s still a fan of Stab is possible.

Sorry for the multi-post reply. I'm just frustrated

Anyway he has high expectations and I struggle to provide sometimes. Overall he's good

He also got mad that I was bad at running an intra-party conflict and was having the npcs around essentially stay out of the fight.
I just wanted it to be over! A few of you ignored the guard and a High Priest of knowledge found out you stole from his temple! This wasn't my doing!
