“Issue 18: I Met Him Under a Warm Dawn”

This issue took some real time for me to make, but that’s mostly because it’s got quite a lot going on, and I really wanted to make sure I got the writing right. As mentioned, Slugpelt is one of my favorite characters, and getting the chance to explore her own past and personal traumas was a real treat. I hope you are all understanding of her. 

Cashew has such a pretty design it makes me even madder while drawing him. Him and Thrasher both, why did I give designs I like so much to these undeserving men?

Also, everyone congratulate Pinepaw on coming out to his family! Congrats, little guy. I realized about halfway through planning this one that these cats absolutely do not know the word “gay” and had some fun trying to write around that. I’m proud of you, my small blue son.

The Artistry of Raven: Impression of a Soulful Dancer & The Unspoken Storytelling of Physical Expressiveness

ANDY: When you started developing the individual characters, the individual faces of the TEEN TITANS, who did you base the characters on? You’ve often said that Changeling was a young Mickey Rooney. But who were the others in real life? GEORGE: [...] Originally, Raven was Persis Khambatta, the actress who played in the first STAR TREK film, and later became a young lady named Fran MacGregor, who was a dancer, and I used some of her features, particularly her figure, for Raven. [...]

David Anthony Kraft's Comics Interview #50: Pérez! Special Edition (1987)

✵~✵

In 1987, George Pérez revealed that later in the series, he took inspiration from the appearance of a young dancer named Fran MacGregor to build the physique of Raven. This decision was brilliant as it truly helped visualise the intended grace of Raven’s characterisation as well as her otherworldly physical beauty.

Then, 12 years later, in 1999, the concept was revitalised in LEGENDS OF THE DC UNIVERSE #18 by the artist Butch Guice, only this time Raven not only had the beautiful, lean stature of a dancer but also posed like one in a soulful, contemporary dance inspired choreography.

These unique, dramatic movements were given specifically to Raven during her monologues where she either lamented her fate as a sacrificial lamb or when she was overwhelmed with strong emotions, like bitterness, frustration, and newfound infatuation - the intensity of which could never be fully conveyed with the frailty of words within a few text bubbles.

“Dance is the hidden language of the soul,” was a quote from Martha Graham, a renowned American modern dancer in the 1900s. And the truth of the saying is evident in the way Butch Guice utilised the art of bodily expressiveness here to portray Raven’s unspoken tragedy (as well as her innocence of a fifteen-year-old girl in the wake of her womanhood).

The movements in themselves are already such beautiful storytelling.

Bonus: These are some dance photography pieces that remind me of Raven’s beautiful movements in this issue.

found a way I can read the first comic issue that featured the Guardians of the Galaxy, also Yondu's first appearance, without having to spend 100 plus bucks to get hardcopy and I have just one thing to say before I start reading:

Boys, put some damn clothes on ����

[johannepetereric]

"Benkei, Kyoya, if you're watching..."

And Benkei and Kyoya ARE watching through hospital TV.

'Thanks to them, I was able to unlock the secret behind L-Drago's attack.'

'I have learned a lot from Kyoya's battle."

"Thanks, pals! I wouldn't have made it without you! 😄👍"

Benkei: "What a guy"

Grin: "You don't need to tell me."

Tumblr decided to post today’s issue annoyingly early, and since I worked pretty dang hard on it I’m gonna make sure everyone reads it. Plus, I wanted to draw some art of Pinepaw for this anyways. Oh, what’s the quote here from? Read the issue and find out, huh.

mdni - implied fat!reader x bluecollar!simon riley drabble - simon is a bit of a creep also lol

Bluecollar!Simon Riley whose house floods so he has to spend the next few days in a cheap, seedy motel

First morning there he's leaving for work just as the sun is rising. Its hot, humid, and he's a shitty mood because he'll be working all day and it's only gonna get hotter

Simon Riley who smokes a couple cigs before he goes, sitting on a plastic lawn chair on his concrete faux patio when he sees you

You're flustered, damp with sweat and skin sun-kissed. You've got a laundry basket on your hip and immediately he's imagining a baby there instead. His baby.

Simon Riley who's shameless about staring at you struggling with the laundry door, dropping your clothes and giving him a view of your wide hips and plush ass in very short pajama shorts

You're so flustered:(( nearly in tears while you pick everything up. The shorts are a little tight, a little worn, and the thin material gives him just enough of a view of your pussy that it sustains him the whole day :')

All he can imagine is coming back and sinking into you :') not even necessarily fucking right away, but keeping his cock warm and relieving the tension in his body. He deserves that, no?

He's not creeping, necessarily, when he takes note of the lotion you use. Vanilla. He just happened to be having a smoke and walking right by your window, where you've got one foot propped on a chair rubbing it into your skin.

Your room is tidy. Despite the stained walls, cracks in the ceiling and overall dingy-ness, you've managed to make it look cozy.

New sheets, a fluffy blanket, string lights strung across the wall. Beside you, lotions and creams and washes - he snorts a little to himself. The bathrooms here don't have any counter space or mirrors to set them down on.

But his house does. In fact, most of his shelves are empty everywhere. His pantry, his closets. The only thing he's got are work clothes and beers in the fridge. Maybe a stray heel of bread.

Simon Riley who decides he'll have you move in before he even talks to you, before he starts memorizing your schedule on the weekends and evenings he gets home. You're struggling, on the edge of homelessness, but he knows you'd be the perfect wife and mother. That you'd bring light and warmth to his house, fill those empty shelves and empty rooms...

You know, imagine Danny decides to take on millions of jobs (that never last long) just so he can have something to put on his resume and to also experience life in a weird way after he makes peace with his half-death.

One of the jobs being the background actor. Usually no one bothers him much until this one crazy man, the director who insists on him doing the main role of his upcoming movie.

And what's that movie you may ask? The movie about the life and death of the tragic Jason Todd-Wayne.

Meanwhile, the one doing the role of Bruce Wayne is none other than Jason Todd, or whatever fake name he is using. He was caught by the unconventional director whilst on his merry way.
