I just binged all of the Wayne Family Adventures webtoon and have been struck with an intense need to be reading comic books from the library again

ever think about how they both tossed a loved one off a cliff to gain power

[romicat]

Never forget the time Nova saw Kamala wrestle a giant Kaiju and went instant heart eyes.

Also he absolutely fumbled Kamala. It's funny that they don't ever try to make Kamala start to maybe develop feelings for him back after this. It's perfect. Because there's no recovering after THAT.

glinda and fiyero, both being for all intents and purposes on the same footing socially, are two sides of the same coin on what happens to those who come from privilege if they choose to forsake their standing in the face of adversity. they come from the same place, they have essentially the same thing to lose, but they end UP losing insanely different things based on the way they choose to live their lives. however, glinda and fiyero have the same thing to lose, but they do NOT have the same thing to gain.*

fiyero is of course actually very smart, no matter how carefree he plays himself, but before elphaba, before the catalyst, he WAS truly content with dancing through life-- he probably would have skated through on his looks and his charm, living a blessed but ultimately unfulfilling, unhappy life, with no real direction. but when given a cause he wakes up and begins to actually want. he wants change, wants elphaba, wants something different than what he's had. though it comes at obvious sacrifice for him, it is natural for him to follow elphaba. there is no personal risk of straying off his path because there is no real path ahead of him anyway. yes, he's captain of the guard, he's engaged to glinda-- but his heart is not truly with them. he has already mentally strayed towards elphaba.

glinda, though, is not like fiyero. she can play herself as charming as she wants to match him and everyone that expects anything from her, but she's at shiz to learn sorcery-- from the moment she's introduced we know that she's dead set on that goal. she WANTS something. she, like elphaba, marvels at the emerald city, imagining her life there one day. so when faced with this fatal decision between choosing what might be good but what is risky, she panics-- it's right there in the lyric!! to grovel in submission to feed her own ambition!! though part of it is certainly her backing into what is safe, she can't let go of her own dream for what would effectively kill every future she ever dreamed of. glinda is WILLING to forfeit her SOCIAL status for elphaba-- it's just that she's smart enough to understand that this is not simply forfeiting social status. this is forfeiting any and all power she ever could have, gain, or use to her/elphaba's advantage.

however: glinda's choice may seem entirely based in self preservation but she's also just as much trying to preserve elphaba's, maybe not safety, but status, because that's what she thinks of as safety. though it's unfair, glinda is right-- maybe not in this instance, but at least in the broad strokes of the song. elphaba HAS hurt her cause forever, she IS having delusions of grandeur, and this is going to make it that much harder for elphaba to ever truly make change regarding animals in oz because as a villain all she can do is drive people away (though ofc this doesn't mean she shouldn't have done what she did). glinda is desperately bargaining-- she knows elphaba cares about the animals, but she doesn't truly understand why, so there is nothing she could have said or done to level with elphaba. glinda ultimately still thinks that change is manageable under the people responsible for cruelty. she's misguided, unaware of the weight of what's happening. it's why she calls it ELPHABA'S cause, not the animals' cause, because she's not really concerned with the greater good at the moment, she's focused on saving her and her best friend. she's smart enough to understand power play, but not aware enough to understand what all that power means, really, at least not in the moment of act 1.

we can speculate what the "good" choice would have been for glinda but the real truth of the show is that the choice she made was the only one she was ever going to, though it might not be just or right or the one she should have.

Yk, I hate that adaptations keep making Peter a high schooler, and not just because it means he never evolves, but because the adaptations now also include wider Marvel, whitch usually (thanks to the MCU) is at the modern day stage with legacy characters and new age teen heroes, meaning that Peter is taking up Miles' spot and you can really tell when they put him next to someone like Kamala Khan or Sam Alexander who are Miles' pals. Tho Peter taking Miles' stuff is just a modern issue overall, just look at MCU whitch just stole and re-skinned Miles' personality, characters, story-beats, even the costume to an extent and then made it worse.

agree 👏

the way i just have to live with the fact that marvel is never gonna do tommy's powers justice, never gonna explore them they way they were supposed to, is just so foul

LIKE YOURE SO CLOSE. ITS RIGHT THERE! JUST! COMMIT!!!

HE WAS SET UP TO BE SO MUCH MORE POWERFUL THAN MARVEL WILL EVER LET HIM BE AND THATS FOUL!!!

So this is what I do when I’m off of work and going insane about Chappell Roan’s VMAs look

Full character sheet below

This was a lazy character sheet don’t be insane at me in the notes

But she’s a level ten paladin of devotion with five levels of bard college of glamour

In my mind she’s a follower of the Moonweaver cause thats gay as hell

I gave her armor of fire resistance cause the performance had lots of fire and I thought it’d be cool

I gave her a holy avenger cause fuck you thats why

I gave her a stone of good luck cause good luck babe

She’s a human but using the new PHB rules cause I liked the new rules for humans and wanted to play around with them

Feats: lucky, sentinel, savage attacker, and magic innate cleric (from the acolyte background)

i think the thing i hate most about how the MCU is going about the Young Avengers is that it's robbing all of them from their connections to each other, by having them already being (and practically complete) their arcs without each other

[flooshd]

full character sheet down below 😁😁

Wip Bucky art

T_T why does it take so damn long to draw guns? Anyway this is me drawing some more art for my wip unposted fic “asking for the dead”. I’m not at the coloring phase yet but I threw the red on the star as a treat

“I’ll go along with the Gandalf shit but if you’re bringing magic I’m bringing guns.”

[ivysos2001]

You still can’t convince me that the whole ‘Steve abandons everyone in the present to go back to Peggy’ thing was a well thought out/well developed ending for his character that made any sense for his post-catfa character arc (let alone all the time travel stuff) bc wdym none of the people who made the movie can figure out the logistics of it??

I think not reading Young Avengers early in my comic reading journey has just made me so not interested in Billy and Tommy as characters like, at all. I respect the importance they have in Wanda and Vision's lives and I know they have a special place in the hearts of the people who grew up with the Young Avengers, but I did not and I just have so little interest in either Billy or Tommy now at this point as actual characters. I'm happy if you like them, but I'll be honest every time I see Magnetfamily discourse I feel less and less inclined towards them.
