Insane to me that certain comic book creators who shall not be named dismissed Jonathan Harker as a "milk sop" and a boring character. White-haired avenger with ambiguously vampiric superstrength Jonathan Harker. Most violent and unhinged member of the vampire hunters Jonathan Harker. Ran at Dracula with a kukri knife without skipping a beat and then tried to climb out of a window to pursue him Jonathan Harker. "Like a living flame" Jonathan Harker. Calls his bond with his wife "the holiest love" and determines that if she becomes a vampire, even if Dracula calls her to his side, "she shall not go into that dark night alone" Jonathan Harker. You know. That one.

The more time I sink into andromeda, the more I suspect the biggest reason it ultimately failed commercially was because of the massive tonal shift I've already mentioned, and how there was probably a pretty big chunk of original trilogy players who simply no longer fit as a demographic, while the game failed to reach the people who might’ve enjoyed it.

The original trilogy, much as I love it, feels a little bit like a wishfulfillment power fantasy for a very obvious demographic. Almost all women are overtly sexy in design and the f/f relationship in the first game seems to be written along the guidelines of 'what would a straight man find hot'; you play as someone cool and confident and powerful, the most specialest human ever, and maybe you aren’t always respected but YOU and the NARRATIVE always know you're right and you get to be rude to and sometimes punch/murder people who disagree with you so it’s fine. The game then salvages all this by means of genuinely well-written characters and arcs, really cool sci-fi tech and lore, a fantastic story, and meaningful and hard-hitting choices and consequences (which also allow and often encourage you to steer away from that exact macho ideal).

Enter andromeda. Instead of being a super powerful supersoldier from the start, you're the kid of one. You barely know what you're doing. Everyone doubts you, including yourself. You don’t get the assuredness of knowing you are Right and Cool that you have as Shepard. You don’t demand that same respect. And I'm sure there are a lot of people who hated that.

here are all the recs I posted for femslash february 2024...! each individual rec post can be found in my femslash feb recs tag. I actually thought I wasn't going to be able to do this because work got super chaotic, but in the end I couldn't bear to skip out on a leap year. that's a whole extra day for yuri.

last year I focused on official releases, so this year I wanted to focus on series that aren't technically officially available (plus a french-japanese film). fan translations are always a dicey for artists/translators/publishers/etc because obviously they need to get paid... but yuri's already such an overlooked genre that—in an official capacity—we end up with a couple drops from what's already a pretty small pool. I read hana to hoshi about a decade ago, and I keep submitting it to the seven seas survey for licensure! and yet!! no dice. and even when there are official releases, sometimes they just... disappear!? wish you were gone was licensed and then taken down, so for a while the only way to read it (if you missed out on buying it) was the fan translation. I think it's important to support artists and official releases, and also, to appreciate the thankless endeavor(/crime) of scanlation.

hope yall find something you like!

So, news: the Darkstalker Legends Graphic Novel is in the works. We don't have a cover or an official Amazon page yet, but Tui has said it earlier this month. Also in the Discord server for the GN's colourist, they mentioned how Darkstalker's GN will be drawn by somebody other than Mike Holmes as to keep the mainline series scedule constant.

Tui also mentioned in this video that she's working on other non-WoF stuff, which we already knew. I just think it's neat.

[Transcript begins:

Tui: We're working on– actually, we're working on like the next three graphic novels, which involves book eight, Darkstalker, and book nine.

(Collective cheering and applause from the crowd)

Tui: (Unintelligible) And then I'm writing a book that is not about dragons.

Audience member: (Jokingly) Boo!

(Laughter from the audience)

Tui: (Unintelligible) So it's going to be occurring on a spaceship.

(Gasp from the audience)

Tui: So I'm pretty excited about that. And also another graphic novel that is not a Wings of Fire one, but you'll see how long that takes. And then I'm going to go back to Wings of Fire and write book sixteen.

Beardsley claiming that "no one knows who [Chuck Tingle] is" is the gravest insult I've ever received as an audience member

Do you think you’d ever be interested in doing a line of semi nude portraits of different bodies? Transfem, trans masc, slim, medium, fat bodies etc? It’s totally cool if you aren’t I just love your art and I would love to see more prints from you perhaps :D

Watching Earthspark with my younger cousins really puts a lot of it into perspective. I am so far outside of the target audience and I am doing a much deeper level of analysis than they are. Honestly, it makes me like Earthspark a bit more because some of my problems with it are put into context a lot better.

Take the immigration metaphor they've got going on. I don't have full perspective on it because I don't live in the US (where the show itself is based in), but I did not like what they did on that front. I saw the comparison and thought it was simplistic at best, while being potentially harmful at worst. Because while immigrants frequently do NOT bring their original country's problems into the nation they are applying to live in (despite what anti-immigrant jerks might say), Cybertronians literally brought their civil war to earth and made humans part of it. For that reason (among others that might not apply because I don't know what the lived experiences of US immigrants are like), I thought it was a pretty bad way to try to send that message.

That was my adult level analysis. What my cousins (who are actually in the age-demographic the show is made for) thought went something like this: I like Transformers, the Terrans got really sad when they saw something telling them to back where they came from, I don't like it when the Terrans are sad, I think the person who did that graffiti is mean and that people who say it's an ok thing to say are also mean, telling people who come from other places that they should go back where they came from is bad, I want Transformers to stay on earth because they're cool and I like them.

That was their analysis as people actually within the age demographic. They did not even think about the civil war being brought to earth, they were too busy not liking that the Terrans were sad and wanting Transformers to stay on earth because they're cool. My problems with it didn't disappear, but it definitely made me better appreciate that the show did achieve its message with at least 2 kids in the target demographic.

Every once in a while, when the mood strikes, I go look up reviews for some of my favorite albums, and it is always an experience, because so much of it are mean shots at the artist as a person.

From the creators of 'the problem with Josh Groban is that he's happy and wants to sing about it' in a review of All That Echoes, comes

'I guess Rick Astley's aging demographic (derogatory) might enjoy this (super cringe that he's trying to sell pop albums, ngl)'

Mr Reviewer, do you think that Rick Astley's album 50, so titled to call attention to his being an elder man, and thematically about the humble hope that comes from aging, and also the being more comfortable in one's skin that it brings, and in consequence, a deeper honesty about oneself, one's limitations and needs... had as intended target audience "the kids"? That he was coming to fight the spot with Dua Lipa, Ariana Grande and Harry Styles?

did i watch the video? no! do i think it was well put because of how people are reacting? yes! do i hate them for trying to make that change? no!

i think overall this was their first sorta major backlash as a company and all things considered, it’s good that it was over something so easy to fix. this has probably also given them a better idea of what their demographic is, and moving forward that could influence their content. idk i think it’s not something to make a fuss about anymore is my point.
