i'm not invested in "harry potter was never good" conversations because it doesn't matter if it's good or not. quality does not positively correlate with socio-political praxis. it could be a really good piece of art, but if it's still supporting a vocal proponent of transmisogyny and transphobia, i don't give a shit. harry potter good or bad, who cares, its success is unambiguiously providing financial and social capital for a morally despicable person.

3, 10, and 17!

3. Weird niche title you're obsessed with that no one else is

SPINE-TINGLING SPIDER-MAN. also invisible woman (2019)..can i interest anyone in invisible woman (2019)?? it's by mark waid and it;s about sue. what more do you need.

10. The writer they'll stop reading their favorite title for

both toms. tom king for self-explanatory reasons and tom taylor because i find his writing insulting to my intelligence. for anyone other than that i'll normally just roll my eyes and continue for the character

17. The character you insist is not dead

harry osborn is alive and well. he's doing spectacularly thank you for asking.

what do you think about jean and scott as a ship?

i love their history and relationship. to an extent, i do think they suffer from comics' bad habit of pigeon-holing a character in a relationship and by extension diminishing the other relationships the characters had/have, but it doesn't ruin the ship for me. they're quite sweet :)

BELOVED ZEL HIIIIII!!!! i always love your color palettes theyre just so soft and comforting!!

[franollie]

HI🫶🫶💌

HIIIIII!!!!! your writing is sooooo insane. there is not a day that goes by without me thinking of "with golden string". your passion for sidelined comic characters is very inspiring as well. I have started reading new gods simply because you posted about them with such love i needed to understand

Every big comics reader has the following:-

The family/books they know way too much about and will read through thick and thin, no matter how dire things get

The family/books they wholeheartedly ignore because they’ve made an executive decision to narrow the potential scope of their reading

The weird niche title they’re obsessed with and almost nobody else is

The run they’re constantly begging other people to read

The run everyone else loves that they quietly hate

The title/run they keep meaning to get to but have never quite made it

The guilty pleasure run

The run with wonky characterisation that they’re still compelled by

The writer they’ll follow into whatever they do

The writer that they’ll stop reading their favourite title for

The character that drives them up the wall

The book they read while despising the main character

The era they just won’t touch

The character that they enjoy and who they know is an expy from another company

Their favourite unattributed sneaky crossover

The villain that they love seeing turn up

The character they insist is not dead

The character that they pretend is dead

The crossover they can’t stop going back to

The crossover they think is terrible and yet get weirdly obsessed with

This ended up looking like an ask meme, so let’s make it one.

superhero fashion dolls is such an untapped market. well not untapped because they’ve tried before. its just that they’re often designed by people who A. don’t understand the appeal of fashion dolls or B. don’t understand the appeal of superheroes

[franollie]

nothing that a haircut and a wardrobe update and a detox and a sex change and a fake ID and getting medicated and selling all my stuff and faking my death and moving country can't fix

i'm not "undiagnosed" i'm largely headcanoned as neurodivergent but with no confirmation in canon. i hear a showrunner said something at a panel last year but it hasnt been leaked on youtube yet.
