thoughts on the new issue of power fantasy?

As I was discussing yesterday I love how it epitomizes the Zany Scheme-based approach to warfare necessitated by the power-levels involved. The stadium is like the world's biggest candy-trail-leading-under-a-propped-up-box in all of fiction. He's literally eating like a third of a birthday cake seconds before he gets nuked

"They were a good person with good intentions and strong convictions and belief in doing the right thing. And because of that they deeply hurt people including people they were trying to protect" - is fantastic characterisation that too many people reduce to only one half of the equation

"They were a good person and people still died because they didn't put trust in anyone else" ← is so fucking good but people don't fucking appreciate it

"They were a good person and they failed. Over and over again. They failed." ← DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND HOW DELICIOUS THAT IS!?!?

I am on my hands and knees begging people to allow characters to be complex and flawed and not reduced down to "The Good Guy" and "The Bad Guy"

the japanese “-ne?” particle and the british slang term “innit” serve the same function

We need to do what we can to protect the Internet Archive. Here is a petition that you can sign.

This petition alone might not be enough, but everything we can throw at this counts.

Fuck, man. You can't just drop the fact that every time Peter dies you feel it too.

I bought one of their albums recently and it made me go CRAZY.

Honestly I think it would be very cool if there was another brench of the league like JLQueer but for music, get the the blue starman on it and call it Justice Rockers of America or something.

have you ever been to a Black Canary concert?

Concerts are like, the WORST possible thing I can do to my autism at any given time. They're loud, they're uncomfortably warm, they'd stacked to the gills with people, they're loud, everyone has a chair but no one ever sits down, I am far too aware of what a Crowd Crush is and also they're REALLY LOUD. When we get to the point where the general "in the know" thing to do is to wear noise cancelling headphones just so you can hear the music at something resembling an actually recognizable volume, I tap out. My preferred way to experience music is by myself, at home, with my headphones on and sitting in my good chair.

That being said, I like Black Canary (the band) plenty!

(A poster for their first, self titled tour, to promote their equally self titled album)

Dinah Lance kinda stumbled into show business. She's of course most well known as the second superheroine to call herself the Black Canary after her mother, the Justice Society member Dinah Drake. She was raised by the Justice Society, has served as a core member of the Justice League since the instant of its foundation and is considered one of the most skilled hand to hand combatants and general brawlers on the planet and that's BEFORE considering her metahuman ability to let out a supersonic scream that can shatter solid stone and send even the toughest bad guys flailing.

She ended up getting entangled in the group (Originally called Alias Insane) on a case and was offered a contract for one record and a tour when the band's producers heard her voice (and probably recognized her marquee value). With no reason NOT to do it (Dinah, for personal reasons, is already a trained singer AND guitarist) she took the contract on a "what the hell" sort of deal. Trying to treat it as something of a vacation. Obviously word got out basically instantly (probably on purpose from the record producer's perspective) and the 'Black Canary Album' the group released hit the charts like a train, going 4 times platinum with the most popular single Ashes for Sunday going 3 times platinum on its own and with 2 other platinum singles.

The music on the album is famously...confrontational. I've been told by people better at music than me (Thank you, Mandy) that its like if Avril Lavigne dropped her speakers in the bath rub before she went on stage. If you do not like pop punk and screamo breakdowns, then this is not the kind of music you'll like. I happen, however, to REALLY enjoy pop punk and though I was never into screamo before now being able to dip my toes into it made it MUCH easier to expand my horizons. So a lot of bands that toured with or were cited by fans of Black Canary during that era have ended up in my rotation over time. Eventually, obviously, Lance found that the needs of her life and her "occupation" meant being a touring popular musician wasn't feasible for her long term so she passed the band's lead vocals back to its original front woman Bo Maeve though they've continued under the Black Canary name with her blessing putting out a couple more albums (their most recent one, Alias Insane, a reference to the band's original pre-Canary name) that I'm just a big a fan of as the original album.

Hey can you give me some Abin Sur recs?

if ur asking for comic recs, I think we both know ur more well-read on green lantern than I 😅

if ur asking for fic recs, I’ve been rotating this wajjs fic in my mind. abin sur isn’t actually alive for most of it, but his characterization in there fascinates me—for reasons that u’ll have to mind the tags for, though
