THE SENSATIONAL SHE-HULK

[luckyshinyhunter]

Fictional characters that definitely deserved better

💪Jen Walters (She-Hulk: Attorney at law)💪

She-Hulk is one of those shows I enjoyed because of the vibes, no surprise that a bunch of dudebros were doing their usual hate on the MCU crap again, especially going after this show.

I like how the show made Jennifer relatable and likable from the start, Tatiana did such a amazingly performance as the titular character along with matching her sassiness and wit like she have in the comics.

The possibilities of She-Hulk season 2 are slim to none, but I still have hope of Jen coming back in the future.

🛩️Andy Demayo (Steven Universe)🛩️

Even though he was kinda rude in his debut episode, but honestly, you would be confused and angry too if you see a bunch of strangers in your barn.

Besides Greg and the residents at Beach City, he rarely calls out Steven's dangerously daily lifestyle with the gems and shows that he cares about his recently known nephew.

After Gem harvest, he resolved the bittered distance and continue visiting his family, even showing at Garnet's wedding.

It was kind of a waste that Future didn't give him anything important to add, he would connect and helped Steven's dilemma with the fear of change, similar to his.

Also a hilarious fun fact, Andy's VA is Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

🐁Splinter (TMNT 2012)🐁

Honestly one of the most tragic characters in the show, from a broken man who lost everything, to a loving and protecting father who found a new lease on life, along with a family that care for each other to the very end.

He can be strict but he does care about his family and would die fighting for them, he literally died to save them and would do it again if he have to.

Hoon Lee's electrifying portrayal speaks for itself and the critical juncture of his past that parallels him and Shredder is another reason why the show is underrated.

I hate the backlash that this character has been getting and that people are labeling him as a bad father but he's not, the show literally has moments of him caring and protecting his family from danger.

🕸️Miles Morales (Spider-Man)🕸️

Without a doubt, Miles is one of the best Spider-Man characters of all. Pretty disgusting that people are using with the whole Miles Morales is Miles Morales crap to hate on a character that brings a new meaning for a iconic role model for kids.

Into and Across the Spider-verse done a outstanding job, making Miles's personal journey and growth so emotional and inspiring.

Sucks that the third film is going to take a long time to premiere, but at least the PS4 games also give him justice and continues shining Miles.

Miles Morales will forever be one of the best Spider-man, it just sucks that some people won't accept him continuously, but in some way at least there's some people who actually respect him as a character, knowing that he is in forever will be Spider-Man and that makes it him amazing.

📋Lois Lane (My Adventures with Superman)📋

My Adventures with Superman is a show that should be talked about especially on how well written it is, the show adapted Lois very well, along with her budding romance with Clark.

I literally hated how Lois gets treated like garbage by a certain amount of people after the whole secret identity thing, the show does prove that Lois is flawed and complex in a good way, making her likable and relatable, she makes mistakes but that doesn't mean it's a bad thing, everyone does.

The latest episode of season 2 really proves that Lois is a good character, showing her empathetic past and complicated relationship with her dad.

Also, Alice Lee's fun performance as the character is just top notch, whether she's happy or sad, she just nails Lois's character without a doubt.

🧬Morty Smith (Rick and Morty)🧬

This boy has been through enough, with neglectful parents, a sister that does care about him but is focused on her own life, Rick cares sometimes, but can be a real jerk. Morty is more you can be his own person the truth is some things can be holding him back, mostly his grandfather.

I'm glad that Rick is trying to change for the better, I remember I hated the way he treated Morty thoughout the seasons whether using verbal or physical abuse, it also sucks when he tried to do something good yet the universe basically just throws it back at him like a giant middle finger.

I'm glad that the later seasons proves that Morty could be a badass and he can handle himself, but I hope when the new season drops, they find a way to handle his trauma because he deserves a hug.

🎳Wade Whipple (The Sonic franchise)🎳

The Sonic films are underrated but it's problem is that it gets dunked on, especially thanks to a so-called outside of the box thinker.

But unlike the other live action films with bland and boring human characters, the human characters in Sonic are actually likable and memorable, among them is Wade Whipple.

I really don't think he's one of the worst characters in Sonic, honestly his sister and dad deserves to be on that list.

Honestly people hate him just because he have more screen time than Knuckles but one, because it's a TV show budget and Knuckles is in the show, they are acting like he never was in the show.

Two, at least it added layers and flaws that made him even more relatable and serves a purpose to Knuckles's journey.

Like with Tom and Maddie with Sonic, his friendship with Knuckles is another core example of why Knuckles work and his actor, Adam Pally's performance was great too.

🔪Sam Carpenter (Scream 5 and 6)🔪

Sam is another character that deserves more attention and respect than before, partially thanks to her actress.

Aside her rough past and learning the dark truth about her family, Sam cares about the people she loves and isn't afraid to fight for them, even fighting her own personal demons just to do so.

Melissa Barrera is a underrated actress, though Her performance in part 5 was good, I think she was just basically outperformed by everyone else, and it didn't help that she was getting bullied and criticize by bunch of toxic fans.

Scream 6 gave Sam justice and proves that she's a badass final girl, especially thanks to the crew and cast of the films who care and was there for her but thanks to a certain company that fire her for doing the right thing, what's the point of even watching Scream 7 without her and the core four but the good thing is at least it gave her and Sam a bittersweet ending.

🐝Chloe Bourgeois (Miraculous Ladybug)🐝

This one is a completely personal rant, I used to be a fan Miraculous. But after watching the season 3 finale, I feel like the magic of the show just basically disappeared, and seasons 4 and 5 was a huge sign that the show fully gone off the rails.

I remember hating Chloe in the first season and I'm pretty sure everyone else felt the same feeling too, but season 2 actually did the the most surprising thing, actually gave her some character development.

It might be baby steps but still development, she might have been spoiled and selfish sometimes but they actually do show that she has flaws.

Malediktator was one of the best episodes of season 2, they were able to showcase Chloe's vulnerability and it prove that she can change and still be a useful ally like the other miraculous holders.

She protected her friend from getting akumatized again, she almost got Mayura's miraculous, and heck, She literally defied Hawkmoth's control, unlike the other akumatized victims, that is basically spells hero-worthy.

But of course as always, Thomas is just too spiteful and that thinks that Chloe is not just worthy and replaced her with a bland, forgettable and useless character who only exists just because she is "better" than Chloe.

It's honestly just pathetic that her corrupt father who spoils her and the literal villain of the show, who done some horrible and awful things get a redemption arc, but a literal misunderstood child doesn't, it just proves that the writer's room just don't even know how to handle character development nor redemption arcs.

It's even more sad that the film actually treats Chloe better than the show does.

The truth is whether do you like or don't like Chloe, it's possible that she can change, it's just that Thomas is the actual problem of the show, I hope one day somehow Chloe might actually get a actual chance to shine as a character again but maybe in the future it could still could happen.

[watchmorecinema]

Something I don't like about the current state of the MCU (and DCU) is just how much work it all is. Some pretentious European movie from the 70's didn't require 30 other movies to provide context. You can pretty much watch any James Bond film in any order, there's not a lot of continuity to deal with. LOTR is an incredible series with a long plot but it's still only 3 movies; you only had to watch 2 other movies before Return of the King.

But with the MCU there's just so much! I think most people were following along fine until Endgame, but then it started to branch out too much. We get a new show every week, the multiverse idea just means that there are more and more threads to deal with and I just don't feel like it's working towards anything at all. Like, is She-Hulk required viewing before The Marvels? What context am I missing if I watch Quantumania but I didn't see any of the movies beforehand? Before Endgame there was certainly an issue with too many of the movies feeling like Origin stories, but at least they didn't require a lot of context. But now I'm so far behind that it just feels like a chore to catch up.

DCU has it worse since they keep rebooting everything. If your movie is meant to setup 5 future films and those films never come, then your movie isn't even good on its own. Apparently the next Avengers movie is going to be a soft reboot the MCU, so it's like why bother?

The films have finally grown all the same issues the comics had. Too many plotlines going on at once, constant retconning, and a focus on big events instead of just telling good stories one at a time. I would be so happy if we just kept getting standalone films that didn't really tie into each other so I could just watch them whenever. If they just made a new Batman each year with no plot carrying over I'd watch them all. Why did Columbo get popular again out of nowhere? There's 70 episodes and no plot to carryover so you can just watch one and get a complete story. Literally the best comic book projects to come out recently were fairly standalone or at least didn't need a lot of context. Werewolf by Night, Across the Spiderverse, The Batman and TMNT didn't need 30 movies of backstory and they didn't spend a lot of time just introducing characters for future movies. Spiderverse of course is different in that it is a sequel and a 3rd film is coming to finish the story but 3 movies is a reasonable number of movies to carry a plot over!

And what really gets me is that I did like the MCU a lot up to Endgame. I was pretty much watching them all as they came out in theaters. It was so much easier to do then. I think there are good stories to be told in the comic book superhero genre, but I don't think Hollywood can carry a plot over 40 films and have it work.

[theaestheticmerchant]

i think i've figured it out. the actual reason whedon's avengers writing, especially with the hulk and black widow, felt so weird and out of place. maybe this has been said or meta'd before but it's literally just because he was still writing them like they were buffy and angel characters, just with a new paint job and new faces, the entire time.

especially with bruce and natasha. and i mean, it worked when it was his gothic horror ocs, but less so when it's established marvel characters — but replace bruce/the hulk with angel, especially season 3-era angel after he comes back from acathla's realm and he's basically a feral beast who's scared of everything but also scares everybody too because of what he's done for a good few episodes, and natasha with buffy, especially any era buffy where she's more likely to suffer from some great and terrible burden (like, hm, i don't know, thinking she's a monster because she can't have kids due to military genetic experiments?) and spend her time monologuing her great shakespearean tragedy. the whole beauty and the beast-style "girl calms down giant monster who's scared and traumatized even though she is too" dynamic suddenly seems a lot more logical when you think of it that way and see them in that light, even if it doesn't make any more sense for bruce and natasha specifically here.

the tropes fit perfectly when you just switch out the marvel aesthetic for a buffyverse one. and of course, it works in the buffyverse because he can do whatever he wants with his ocs, but it felt so weird in marvel because he wasn't writing a marvel story. he was still writing shakespearean gothic young adult tragedy, but it had real superheroes in it this time instead of vampires and monster hunters.

even the villain makes more sense. take loki out and slot him in as, instead, a buffyverse big bad, especially a vampiric one. instead of his staff, it's a magical artifact, and instead of being from the nine realms, he's from a demon dimension — the chitauri portal at the end being a means to open a rip to a hell-world and let demons and the apocalypse through, like what acathla would've done, like what the judge tried to do, or the end of angel as a whole.

it's literally just one giant buffyverse episode he wrote using marvel characters while he was still in buffyverse mode. even the "mewling quim" line makes more sense — 100% that's something a big bad in his original verse would say while being weird and intimidating and scary and so of course it feels off and not quite right as a marvel story because it literally never was an actual marvel story in the first place

[fictionadventurer]

Beauty and the Beast for the WIP game?

My only real attempt at writing poetry before this year happened during a stretch when I tried to write a Beauty and the Beast retelling in verse. I got about two-thirds of the way through before it fizzled out and languished forever unfinished.

When it comes to my recent novel-in-verse obsession, the simplest option would be to take another look at this work and try to finish it. There's a lot of terrible poetry in there, but there are some that are somewhat better than I remember. I can't claim to be a judge of what's good poetry, but some of these are readable, so I'll share some of them here.

The first set of semi-readable poems covers the first meetings between Beauty and the Beast. (These are all numbered, and I'm leaving the numbers in place to better differentiate between separate poems. I think the speaker in most of these is fairly clear from context, but just in case, I'll put the speaker's name in the title, too.)

VI. beauty and beast

he is every nightmare i’ve ever forgotten he is thunder and darkness and death he is fear with fangs he is beastly

she is every dream i’ve never dared for she is roses and sunlight and life she is hope with jewels she is beauty

*

VIII. beauty

the chair creaks when he sits

my knees quake when he speaks

the master laughs when i ask

when i will die

my ears doubt when i hear

my mind reels when i realize

the master wonders when i began

to think he’d kill me

IX. beast

the rules are these you are mistress of this castle the servants will obey your every whim the rooms and all within are yours including me

you will dine with me at dusk we will not speak if you want silence you will look at me and try not to scream

i will not harm a hair of your head i will not cause a moment’s worry you will do whatever you wish except leave

X. beauty

his mercy shatters my world makes it bigger and at the same time smaller

how can i live in a monster’s cage

my life will be long and lonely with him my friend and at the same time jailer

how can i look at a monster’s face

the castle teems with wonders that all belong to him and at the same time me

what do i do with a monster’s love

*

The next set of poems I feel like sharing starts with Beauty finding a portrait in the castle, and then leads into her sharing a dance with Beast that makes her kind of freak out over the fact that she might be falling in love.

XXII. beast

today you found a painting in a long-forgotten room covered in cobwebs and shrouded in dust

there was a reason it was lost

the portrait showed a man with a face like the dawn and eyes like the sea you thought he looked kind

he was young and a fool

you may keep it if you wish or lock it back in darkness it matters not to me i used to see him daily

i doubt i’ll see his face again

*

XXIV. beauty (and beast)

if rooms have souls the ballroom is wise a radiant beauty long past her prime

she treasures the days when she lived and was loved she keeps them and counts them like pearls on a string

(she is not the only one, my dear)

long past midnight in moonlight and hush this sleepwalking girl can glimpse former days

a flash of a gown and a whisper of waltz what glorious balls must this room have beheld

(they were marvelous indeed, my friend)

it seems a shame she grows old alone with nothing but darkness and dust held within

i would dance for her return the spark of life if only we had music and i had a partner

(i will gladly dance with you, my love)

XXV. beast

my dear beauty don’t you know i learned dancing long ago

one step closer take my hand with a waltz you’ll understand

let the music guide your feet in a dance that’s slow and sweet

hand in hand and heart to heart it’s not love but it’s a start

XXVI. beauty

he is hulking beastly

i am small delicate

i should be stumbling crushed

but

we marvelously miraculously dance

and it feels like flying

XXVII. beauty (to the portrait)

man on the wall i may be mad but i must give voice to the storm in my heart and you are the only one near

the master puzzles me i know his home as well as my own but i know so little about him

(is he beast or man or nightmare or dream or captor or friend)

i saw his face and thought him a beast

(but he grows roses and reads poems and has never killed or even raised his voice)

i heard his voice and thought him a monster

(but he spared my life gave me his home and all he owned offered his heart and never once has been anything but gentle)

i watched him dance and thought him a man

(with grace like an angel or a prince and i think that maybe he was not always so lonely and that his heart aches for things lost)

what am i to think do say be feel about him now

and why do these questions always come at midnight

*

The final poem is one that I had completely forgotten about, so I was shocked to find it lurking in the latter sections of the document and showing signs of using some decent imagery. By polishing up the last couple of lines, I've got something that's not half bad as a standalone poem.

This one occurs during an extended period when Beauty is still trying to process her feelings toward Beast and figure out if this is really love or if her feelings are being warped by isolation and close proximity.

XXX. beauty

if this is love it is a dark and grasping love a child stumbling in the night crying for a candle flame and cherishing the smallest spark of light

if this is love it is a bleak and desolate love a skeleton tree in a barren desert windbeaten and scrubbed to bone and bursting into bloom at the first drop of rain

if this is love it is a smoke and mirrors love a sleight of hand or trick of light that takes my broken heart and fools me into thinking he can make it whole

[nerds-yearbook]

The Baloney-verse was introduced along with the Critics (an offshoot of the Watchers), Professor Brent Wilcox (because Reed Richards was busy), and campaction receptical in The Sensational She-Hulk 14, cover date April 1990. They were created by Steve Gerber and Bryan Hitch. The issue was one of the rare times Jen was able to revert to human form. ("A Baloney Place For Dying" The Sensational She-Hulk 14, Marvel Comic Event)

[darthkvznblogs]

This is a random question, because I recently got back into DragonBall, but if the krypton verse were somehow subjected to a Tournament of Power like in DBS, which ten fighters would be most likely selected. If it makes it easier, we can just say whoever is picking the team is lazy like Beerus and just picks the obvious candidates instead of scouring the depths of your various fandoms.

(in case you don’t know what I’m talking about, the rules are that the teams fight on a big arena in the Void. You’re out if you are knocked out, and it’s actually a battle royal instead of a tournament, No killing, no weapons (though that one can be ignored) and since the definition of god is a bit tricky, we’ll just say that no one involved in the management of the universe can compete, someone like Thor is fine. Also no restoratives like healing potions or temporary enhancements.

I'll pick only from "confirmed" characters (already appeared or were mentioned).

Supergirl, Thor, The Hulk, Captain Marvel, Ben 10 (I'm assuming the temporary enhancements rule means external stuff, since I know the various Saiyan forms are allowed, and Ben's transformations have become a part of him as bearer of the Omnitrix, till he dies), Broly, She-Ra, Vilgax, Doctor Strange, and probably Doctor Doom himself.

Honorable mentions include Sailor Moon (I think she might be too inconsistent for a dedicated tournament setting), Danny Phantom (incredible utility, but lacking in physical strength and durability), Iron Man (till he's got an adamantium suit or something, he's kind of a glass canon among the heavy hitters, and also I'm not sure his suit would be allowed to begin with), Gwen Tennyson (if she'd mastered her Anodite powers at the time), Hercules (if they figure out a way for him to be able to fight off Earth), and Thanos (if he can be somehow convinced, lol).

[imgibbon]

I have gotten to the point with mainstream American comics where I only really care about niche settings/characters that show up for a miniseries like once a decade and then disappear back into the ether until an author remembers they exist for some passion project or something.

Some of these are admittedly less niche than others, but, yeah

From DC:

Amethyst, the Princess of Gemworld

showing up in a random issue of Green Lantern next month, and previously in a random issue of Superman last year and a Christmas story with Harley in 2023. She was part of Young Justice in 2019 and even had her own solo miniseries and graphic novel, but just faded away for whatever reason.

the Tangent Universe

Currently showing up in a the Green Lantern Dark miniseries, which is being advertised as an Elseworlds story for some reason, and is over halfway done.

Most recent appearance prior to that was the Tangent Flash being a major character in the year and change long War World storyline in Superman in 2021/22

the New 52 version of Earth 2

Fuck knows when this lot are showing up again. Last appearance was Earth 2 Superman (Val Zod) and Red Tornado (Lois Lane) getting a side plot that was carried out over the course of two issues of Jon Kent in 2022, a Beast World event side issue in 2023, and then 2024's Black Power special.

Shade, the Changing Man/Girl/Woman

Currently getting backup stories in two issues of DC vs Vampires: World War V issues 10 & 11. Their first appearance since the last issue of Shade the Changing Woman in 2018, unless you count COPRA over at Image featuring a not-Shade-for-legal-reasons version of Rac as part of the title's totally not the Suicide Squad, but that just wrapped up its final issue this month, so...

Batwoman

Most recently a supporting character in Question: All Along the Watchtower, and I expect she'll show up in small roles in Justice League Unlimited and Batman here and there, but her last focus title where she was a main character was 2023's Outsiders where she was badly written and the series got cancelled early for being a bit of a mess. Prior to that it's been one-off pride stories here and there for the last few years or supporting roles in other peoples' books.

From Marvel:

the New Universe

They actually just announced this last week that the original Starbrand will be a major character in September's new Battleworld miniseries, so that's neat.

Prior to that, Hickman had integrated a lot of the New Universe stuff into the main Marvel U in his Avengers run back in 2013 and the characters stuck around through 2016 or so before fading into obscurity again, afaik. I'm admittedly not as up to date on my info with this one, embarrassingly, so if I'm wrong please tell me so I can go hunt down some new books.

Planet Hulk

Currently featuring in the ongoing Imperial event from Hickman. First issue was a blast, very happy with it.

Prior to that was the Worldbreaker miniseries from Pak in 2022 that was only 5 issue but really wanted to be 12 and just ended up abruptly ending in an unsatisfying manner. Prior to that, characters popped up in 2021 and 2018, but the last appearance of the world itself was 2017's Return to Planet Hulk, acting as a soft-tie in to Thor Ragnarok.

2099

Man, where the fuck is Miguel lol. Has been getting semi-regularly miniseries from Steve Orlando at a rate of one or year or so, and 2099 is a major locale in Marvel Rivals, and of course Miguel was in Spider-Verse in a major way. So I'm not actually too worried about this setting and characters getting put back in the box, but with Peter David's recent passing, I wouldn't be surprised if they rest them out of respect for a bit.

Angela

Gods only know what she's up to. Still mad about them randomly writing out her trans wife in 2018/19's Asgardians of the Galaxy title, and since then Angela herself has only popped up as a supporting character in Thor stories, and even then rather infrequently. Afaik, last time she was around was over a year ago in Immortal Thor. I wonder if she's quietly been set aside because of her association with Neil Gaimen and recent events.

Spiral

Mojo's sometimes henchwoman. She basically never gets her own series, and any time she does manage to get extended regular appearances and actual character development, it all gets thrown in the bin the next time she gets used because authors don't give a fuck enough to know she's a real character who's moved beyond being Mojo's enforcer in the past 20 years.

Appears once a year or so, if I'm lucky. Last focus storyline was 2019's Mr & Mrs X where she fixed Rogue's powers for her, and before that was 2013's Uncanny X-Force volume 2.

From Dark Horse:

Ghost

MIA since February 2014. Not got much hope for more of her lol.

fun things i noticed rewatching npmd act 1:

sam sweetly was investigating richies death

richie messed with his fingers absentmindedly

everyone pronounces stephs last name correctly (law-ter) except the teacher (low-ter) because teachers cant pronounce peoples names correctly

pete is almost always curled into himself while steph is almost always sat more like. outward. i dont know how to describe it.

petes plaid on his suspenders and bowtie matches stephs flannel

stephanie wears a lot of jewellery

ruth and richie hold on to pete at the end of “literal monster”’s first chorus

richie keeps his hands under his armpits most of the time

graces little “mhm. mhm.” after she says “his name is jesus christ” >>>

max and grace nodding at eachother is never not going to be funny to me

kyle is max’s biggest hype-man. homosexual activity if you ask me.

ruth and the nerd in purple enter the stage hiding behind the bleachers during max’s verse

“next time youre going to cheat do it like a lauter and dont get caught” so solomon most likely got to his position illegally

“somebody WALKS to the office with STEPHANIE LAUTER 🙄” richie is a Bitch

ruth cares very deeply about library rules

she immediately stops caring about them as soon as stephanie lauter calls him

ruth rolls her eyes when richie starts his “aot > star wars shit”, so shes clearly heard this a shit ton before

petes jumper also matches stephanies foannel

pete is in the shadows for a good part of cooler than i think i am because he keeps walking through them

as soon as the bridge is done he goes from being in the light to beingbik the shadows again

peter can also be a bitch

max doesnt come from money

max started being a prick in 4th grade

jason seems to be an actually good dude.

max has a major god complex obviously but like. it is bad. it is BAD.

mark, despite being married to her, calls graces mom ‘mother’

graces mom also wears butterfly clips

richies side eye the second steph walks over im DECEASED.

petes a marvel nerd. he does both the hulk and spidermans gestures

richie is ruths wingman confirmed

richie fiddles with the little tassles on petes jacket

max is very good at puns

will is scarily good at sounding like blood is coming out of his mouth

pete has a very short temper

grace actively cheers for ruth after she cuts off max’s nips

stacy calls richie “mr. lipschitz”. for some reason.

THE HARMONIES IN GO GO NIGHTHAWKS ARE SO GOOD

richie calls jason jace :(( /pos

“theyre my bros for life” they said ONE nice thing to you get some standards i BEG

richies face immeidately dropping as soon as max says “richieee”

richies wearing 4 layers on top and a pair of shorts. transgender.

max’s blood is sparkly.

max shakes his hand after touching richie

max thinks people in the smoke club are cool

max locks the door on richie

he does the choreo from thriller by michael jackson

richies squeal after max makes him fall

max is heavy projecting onto richie

max seems genuinely pissed when richie says ‘im not a loser.’ he only chills when richie says ‘please don’t kill me’.

he taunts richie by calling him his actual name. he never called richie his real name, only shit-lips. false sense of security type shit.

VERSES:

1 -- House of Madness Main DND / fantasy verse. | 20-25 years old Associated with strangewonderful's Nimrod Roy.

Lacking any memory of her life before being pulled into the Shivering Isles, Nora has only the realm of madness to call home. The people are absurd, the ruling god Sheogorath a figure of chaos and danger. She wakes in the world with the god's symbol across her face, marking her one of his champions. Despite their strangeness, the people are more victims of the world than she is, so she lends herself to their protection and over time finds a corner of the capital to call her home. She keeps a small room at the central tavern, spending rare quiet days browsing the markets for ingredients and training with the sword and shield she is known for.

2 -- DND Prequel to House of Madness | Age varies [BACKGROUND] [OATH]

Nora Hashal spends the first part of her life on her parents' farm. It is a comfortable enough life, they make enough to get by, but her dreams are filled of the knights of great excitement and adventure that made up her bedtime stories. Without a formal education, her best way out is to join the local garrison as a solider. She works hard and is eager to please, following orders without question until her unit is sent to die in an unwinnable fight. As she wakes to the damage around her, she discards her unit's colors and sets off on her own, still believing in the shield-bearing knights of legend, but swearing that her name would never again belong to another.

3 -- Modern Twisters (2024) verse | 23 years old Associated with entriprises' Catherine Carter.

Nora Hashal could not wait to escape the small town she grew up in, longing to leave the farm behind for the allure of the big city. To trade the spanning fields and dirt under her nails for neighbors her own age and a Target that's not in the next town over. She gets and quits a job in private security, and unwilling to return home after such a quick failure, stumbles upon a job listing for a farmhand. It comes with food and lodging, and Nora has missed more of her old life than she wants to admit, so she becomes the second occupant of the Carter farm.

4 -- Little Bug in the Big Apple Marvel 616 / Main alt. / Verse jump | 20-25 years old Associated with strangewonderful's Andie Eliot.

If Nora found the world of madness strange, it still made more sense than the land of "New York," where hulking metal creatures roam between mazes of towering structures, higher than any building in the Shivering Isles. Nora does not know how to get home, but she knows she cannot stay. This world is loud and confusing and she is alone, aside from a curious masked young woman known as Lovebug who offers to help her find her way back.
