Oh cool, Erica Schultz, writer of the Daredevil Gang War tie-in, remembered Bellona exists.

Laura's sister is out of SHIELD's cage. Good For Her.

Hopefully she gets a reunion with Laura and Gabby.

from issue 2 out next week.

Cole really will never be escaping those big brother accusations. Now he actually is Lloyd’s stepbrother and he can use it in arguements:

Lloyd: “You’re not my DAD you can’t tell me what to do!”

Cole: “I’ll call ALL OF OUR DADS IF YOU DONT GO TO SLEEP RIGHT NOW!”

Lloyd: “AUGH!” *slams door* *secretly glad that someone cares*

Can’t remember if I ever shared this but flashback to when my mom watched livesies and said to me (in reference to the fact that I told her Newsies was really gay) “I don’t see it, I think that’s just a you thing” and then, later, watching 92sies and going “ok I see it now. I get it. Yeah.”

Dub dialogue again! Windy to Ai about Ai siding with humanity:

“You’ve been hanging with those meatbags longer than any of us. I don’t know how you tolerate it. But you must since you're willing to side with them instead of joining your family in this war.”

....okay credit where credit is due, that is a powerful line.

I have a friend who fully loathed me for five years from the first time we met (for reasons that are understandable) and then I guess spent a few years feeling indifferent to me and now they frequently refer to me as family and said they would murder for me which is a great story arc for the two of us but the thing is

The way they express themselves around me has not changed a whole lot in that time. They speak more frequently and more openly both to me and in my presence, which is nice, but at most that brings them in line with the way I talk to coworkers that I basically like.

Like it's crazy to be told "I'd murder for you" by someone who doesn't even smile when greeting me. I realise that this is just because they have a really flat affect, and there are other better ways of judging someone's feelings about me, but it still always comes as a surprise to be reminded that they like me significantly.

that article going around abt firefox's new ad program is annoying bc it's phrased as though "mozilla has finally TURNED on its people and is SELLING YOU OUT for cold hard cash!!" when. that's not what's happening. it is specifically being implemented to discourage tracking behavior, and literally all the data they are giving to advertisers is aggregate and anonymized, which is like, the opposite of what that post wants you to worry about, lol

My biggest tip for fanfic writers is this: if you get a character's mannerisms and speech pattern down, you can make them do pretty much whatever you want and it'll feel in character.

Logic: Characters, just like real people, are mallable. There is typically very little that's so truly, heinously out of character that you absolutely cannot make it work under any circumstance. In addition, most fans are also willing to accept characterization stretches if it makes the fic work. Yeah, we all know the villain and the hero wouldn't cuddle for warmth in canon. But if they did do that, how would they do it?

What counts is often not so much 'would the character do this?' and more 'if the character did do this, how would they do it?' If you get 'how' part right, your readers will probably be willing to buy the rest, because it will still feel like their favourite character. But if it doesn't feel like the character anymore, why are they even reading the fic?

Worry less about whether a character would do something, and more about how they'd sound while doing it.
