Can you expand on Annihilator?

@magenta-mouse​ asked: wait what did max do to grant? what instigated this?

Well, while honestly I don’t think the book is sincerely intended as a hit piece on Landis in particular, it’s notable that both the main characters in this book about pretentious hedonistic artists who hurt everyone around them are dead ringers for the guy. Landis had a period where he was really clearly trying to win Grant’s approval - his time at Morrisoncon, describing American Alien as “the anti-All-Star Superman”, inserting that one Mxyzptlk story in it that’s as blatant a “love me daddy” as I’ve ever read in the medium - and given he apparently made a pretty public ass of himself at Morrisoncon, and his otherwise well-known status as a douchebag, it’s not that shocking Morrison decided he’d be a good visual inspiration for the Hollywood enfant terrible of his story.

As for Annihilator itself, it’s easily one of Morrison’s best and most criminally overlooked comics, by strength of Frazer Irving blowing the fucking doors down on this one alone before you even get to the story. For those who missed it, here’s the pitch: Ray Spass is one-time Hollywood hitmaker with a heart of pure shit, whose last big production is a ways behind him - he’s working on a “haunted house movie in space” script starring dashing rogue Max Nomax to get back in the game when he learns he has an inoperable brain tumor giving him a week to live. Later the same day, he’s pulled aside by a pair of secret service agents who inform him that at the large hadron collider in Switzerland, they momentarily opened a black hole…and a man named Max Nomax stepped out and asked to speak with Ray Spass before disappearing. When Ray gets back to his apartment and reaches his creation, he learns the truth: Max is all-too-real, fleeing the repressive authorities of his reality who will surely tear ours apart in search of him. He was forced to beam his memories of his life ahead of his physical form into a tumorous data packet in Ray’s skull; only by writing the story can Ray shrink the packet and save himself, and in turn get the information needed to save the universe.

At its core, it’s the flipside to Flex Mentallo in the same way The Filth holds up a cracked mirror to The Invisibles. It’s still about the power of stories to save us all, and Morrison can’t bring himself to be fully cynical in that particular regard, but if Flex was about how art can ennoble and inspire the lives around it, Annihilator is the reminder that it’s at least as often the product of ego or petty rebellion or a simple need to get paid as any real creative impulse or desire to make anything better. Phonogram as compared to The Wicked + The Divine would be a good way of framing the difference between them; one’s about what art does to fans, the other about how fucked-up the actual artists are. All that aside though, it’s clever, it’s spiteful, it’s hilarious, it’s incredibly well-constructed, it follows up on some of the themes of Morrison’s time on Batman in some very interesting ways, and it’s absolutely goddamn gorgeous. It’s honestly probably in my top 5 Morrison comics period, and I really can’t recommend it enough. Baby Bug-Eyes alone was the sensational character find of 2014.

when do you get your soft, italicized "oh?"

the kiss you typically wait until the last second to believe the truth--because it would destroy you to believe it, and then find out it was a lie. you are someone who has never wanted to want, but has rarely been able to do anything else. the idea that you might have to break down your walls for the sake of someone else, someone who could easily decide they don't like what is on the other side, is harrowing. why let people get close enough to be rejected? you are enough for yourself. and you will tell yourself that every time you catch yourself staring at their mouth, smirking at their joke, finding a reason to flick their shoulder. until the kiss. that's when the flood of want, want, want bowls over you and you realize that you are torn between two ways of living. Oh, you think. because despite how complicated you have made it, the moment you kiss, somehow, things seem incredibly simple. they won't be once you start thinking again, but for now, for this moment, you live in the quiet peace of revelation. Oh.

muse questions generator. generate 5 random questions about your muse and answer them!

did your oc have a lot of friends at school? not particularly. she had a small group that she got along with well enough - thea, josefine, and mia - and she had ariane, but she didn't really have many people that she really connected with. ariane was the only one she felt really close to.

has your oc ever done something illegal, and if so, what kind(s) of thing(s) have they done? uh. yes. setting aside the more obvious things in her main verse, as a teenager she did do some underaged drinking, a bit of shoplifting, and did smoke weed once or twice. also if you count getting into fistfights (which i think legally is assault) she has done that.

does anyone know about your oc's greatest (irrational) fear(s) or do they keep it to themself? katrina absolutely keeps that to herself and does not tell anyone ever. the only people who would know are her significant other and probably ariane

what does your oc keep in their wallet? her cards, a little bit of cash, and an id. that's really it she's boring

does your oc use pet names? what pet names do they use? she does! she uses german pet names most of the time. two of her favorites are schatzi (darling) and liebste (most beloved), but she'll also come up with more personalized nicknames for people she's close to (for example, evelin's is kleiner fuchs (little fox))

how do you best like to be loved?

stay with me while the storm is strong we all need someone sometimes, and you often don't feel like you are worth someone remaining. you are, though. i know that you crave for someone to be there and rest their hand against your back during the bad times. for a loving voice to lull you to sleep with a cadence of compassion and a desire to remain. you just want someone to remain. through and past the bad parts when you know it is difficult. you want to fall asleep to their voice and wake up to them still there in the morning. you want them to know the way that you take your tea and keep a box of your favorite flavor in their pantry in case you have a bad night and need to come over. you want to trust someone enough to give them a key to your house. and you deserve it, love. you deserve for someone to linger. you deserve to place your trust in another and know that they'll help you brush your hair if you're just too tired. you deserve for someone to remain.

RATE YOUR MUSE'S TRAITS — TAG GAME

tagged by: @lvebug <3 tagging: @70th @deathprcud (blight or kasha?) @arachnidiots (liam!) @frfld & anyone else who wants to!! do it say i tagged you

compassion : 6.5 / 10 katrina does have compassion for others, it's just that other emotions or experiences can sometimes override that compassion. the most extreme example would be things like her having no compassion for the agents who experimented on her, but in moments of fear or anger she can also be prompted to act in ways that contradict the compassionate voice in her head (often for the sake of self-defense, whether that's from an actual threat or a percieved/hypothetical one). she's compassionate, it's just not her main motivator.

bitterness : 7.5 / 10 katrina is a very bitter person in taste and mindset. it's not something she loves about herself, but it's an attitude she's built up to attempt to cope with things (similar to the "if you expect disappointment you can't be disappointed" type mindset). as much as she might sometimes wish she wasn't so bitter, she fully understands why she is and is wary of stepping out of that comfortable zone and putting herself more out there in the emotional sense.

anger: 9 / 10 if it wasn't already abundantly clear, katrina is a person with lots of expressed and underlying anger. she's lived with a deep frustration since early childhood, and it's been a fire that has kept her going for a large portion of her life. her rage is a tool, a life force, a motivator, a weapon. she doesn't know how to exist without it. and her anger isn't always separate from her love, it can very much be an aspect of it - her frustration started as a wish for a better and more fair world (or, at least her town). that anger is still there. anger against suffering, anger on behalf of her own pain and the pain of those she loves. (i have so much to say about katrina and anger i am going to stop myself now)

happiness : 5 / 10 katrina isn't an unhappy person, and she does have lots of happy moments (especially in her adulthood), but she's also a person with a lot of psychological and physical pain, and a mental state that would be considered unstable.

politeness : 6 / 10 katrina is quick to frustration, but she was raised to be polite. up until the point that she loses her manners, she has good manners.

chivalry : 6 / 10 similar to the above. unless she's angry or frustrated (or around someone she doesn't particularly like) she's usually more or less chivalrous. she's a gentleman when she wants to be

pride : 5 / 10 pride is a tricky subject with her. she was raised not to be prideful, but tries to project a certain amount of pride as a defense mechanism, but truly does not have very good self esteem, but does still have self confidence. she has pride in her abilities and she's not about to let someone else shit talk her, but that pride doesn't really run deep. it's more of a shield than anything.

honesty : 5 / 10 katrina isn't necessarily a dishonest person, but she does lie (especially considering in her main verse that is a large part of her job). she usually lies to get out of talking about herself, her past, her feelings, letting people get too close. she's not the type to just make up grandiose stories for no reason, but she doesn't have much of a problem lying if she thinks she needs to.

bravery : 6.5 / 10 katrina would tell you she isn't that brave. she has done things that could be considered "brave" in her life, she's taken risks, jumped into the unknown - but all of those things were done out of a want to survive. when it comes down to it, in a serious situation her larger motivator usually isn't bravery, but fear of harm coming to herself or those she loves. (this could also be framed as her being willing to do whatever it takes for her loved ones, but she tends to see it through a lens more akin to weakness.) when it comes to smaller things however, she's more than willing to jump in, to take the first shot if someone else is nervous. she's not afraid of a fight.

recklessness : 7 / 10 katrina's sense of caution creates a sort of paradox that allows her to sometimes do reckless things. when it comes to emotional vulnerability, she's absolutely not reckless, in fact she could stand to be much more reckless in that arena. but when it comes to actual physical survival, her instincts sometimes drive her to do reckless things, such as running away from home. she'd rather take her chances in the unknown than face something that's sure to be awful. it's also no secret that she's got no problem being reckless in day-to-day life, considering how much she enjoys throwing herself into fights.

ambition : 4 / 10 katrina does chase down her ambition with all she's got, but she only really has one ambition in life. survival. that's it. she doesn't really have any big aspirations or goals beyond that. she never thought she would get to dream of anything beyond that. 

loyalty : 9 / 10 i knocked off a point only because it is so hard to actually reach the point of her being truly close with another person and genuinely trusting them due to past experiences of betrayal, but once she is close with you she is the most loyal person you'll know. the people she truly loves she would do genuinely anything for and she will defend them with everything that she has until her dying breath if she has to

love : 9 / 10 same problem as above, it's ridiculously difficult to actually get katrina to let her walls down enough to truly trust and love people, but once she does it's with her whole heart, with everything that she has. it is a fire, like her rage, burning bright and warm as the biggest sun radiating from her chest. only this time there is no urge to destruct. just love.

sense of family : 6 / 10 katrina never really felt very at home in her own family growing up, but she does grow to have a very strong found family who she very much loves. family is a bit of a tricky concept for her, but she's starting to get the hang of it.

attractiveness : 9 / 10 listen she's pretty. all women are gorgeous. no other notes

agility : 8.5 / 10 she doesn't have superpowers, but she's a trained agent, and she's been very active since she was a kid. playing soccer and running around in the uneven ground of the woods helped her get to be quick on her feet.

sex drive : 6 / 10 this is hard to answer because for her it fluctuates. i haven't written any nsfw here but sexuality is a topic i have thought of a lot with katrina particularly because she has a very complex relationship with it, and that relationship varies from verse to verse. but the bottom line tends to be, she's incredibly repressed (and honestly kind of insecure) and it takes a lot of trust for her to give up autonomy/control. generally, she has an somewhat lower than average sex drive, but if she is in a relationship where she's able to have trust and get herself to have a healthier relationship with sex, her sex drive does increase.

katrina, what ghost haunts you?

the ghost of your bloodline you were doomed from the start, weren’t you? born to bend yourself to the will of a bloodline that sneers at every effort you take towards betterment. you are stained by the hand of your father, your mother, perhaps a family member that looms over your weary shoulders. the first grave is the childhood home, after all. you can escape all you wish. your body can leave the home, the state, the country, but you will always be haunted by what raised you. when chelsea dingman wrote, “i have been trying to go home my entire life.” when graham greene wrote, “from childhood i had never believed in permanence, and yet i had longed for it.” when oscar wilde wrote, “a burnt child loves the fire.”

what emotion are you?

disgust. Your disgust is like a rot, a vile and toxic waste that festers and spreads, poisoning everything it touches. It is a feeling that leaves a bad taste in your mouth, a feeling that makes you cringe at the mere thought of it. It is like a disease that spreads, infecting everything in its path. Why do you feel repulsed at the sight of yourself? Is the weight of the world so much that you must push it away? I can see you swallow down your words- the scowl on your face is enough to know why.

[mcmorare]

where do you hold your love?

in your teeth love has uneven edges but it is something you sink your teeth into. with love you give all of yourself over and feel everything as it happens- good and bad. for you love can be a fight, whether it's hard won or hard lost (or hard to hold on to), love has a way of leaving its impression in your skin. it's not that it hurts, it's just that it knows your tender spots and seems to hit those first.
