"childlike sense of wonder" this and that. Personally, I'm cultivating my elderly sense of wonder. Hence my excitement over a perfectly ordinary bird in my backyard or an above-average-sized vegetable.

Everybody talks about how Silver Age Superman is a dick, but a less remarked-upon quirk of the era’s writing is that Silver Age Lois Lane is obsessed with proving that Clark Kent is Superman specifically because she’s convinced if she does, he’ll be obligated to marry her.

Initially it’s implied to be a blackmail thing, but later Silver Age writers seem to have forgotten that and taken “Clark Kent must marry Lois Lane if she discovers his secret identity” as an axiomatic rule, to the point that Kent would often voice worries that he’d be forced to marry other characters who were close to putting the pieces together – regardless of whether they’d expressed any interest in the first place!

Now, do you know which character apart from Lois Lane has the best track record for figuring out that Clark Kent is Superman across all the various reboots, elseworlds, and miscellaneous adaptations?

That’s right: Batman.

So, logically

updating the pitch for my "roman doctor comes forward in time, becomes an instagram influencer" sitcom:

all of that still happens but he starts feeling bad about being a grifter and tries to learn enough modern medicine to actually cure people

whoever made the decision to cast jacob anderson as louis dpdl struck fucking gold and i mean that. not only is he a phenomenal actor but every time i look at his beautiful face i too realize that i would do utterly deranged, fucking unhinged shit to keep him in my life forever. at the end of the day lestat and armand and everyone else need not explain a damn thing.

I get why people like the idea of The Magic Powers Recognize Your Gender, but to frank I think this sort of thing would have worse consequences than expected. It would just be another weird box to be shoved in, another apparently-objective test no different from chromosomes. imagine being a trans woman except the Magic doesn't accept you? Lol good luck, magic says you're not a girl.

There isn't, actually, a way out of self-description; Ultimately just because something Powerful chooses to write down your True Name as one thing makes it no more or less True or Real than your parents doing it.

There's no True God beneath the False One; there was only ever you; the Lord may force the Bondsman to say what is true, but cannot really make it so

yet again bashing my pointer at the enormous sign that says "it's not that [witches/goblins/vampires/motherfucking krampus] are necessarily specifically jew-coded in an antisemitic way - though they may be and in fact often are, but you do have to take that part case by case - so much as it is that the entire european idea of what is monstrous is so deeply intertwined with ideas of jews as inhuman outsiders that some of that is going to leak in from the groundwater no matter what you do".

do not piss on the poor about this post i do not have it in me.
