Heyy, so I finally decided to make an intro post. Yay me!!
🍄 My name is temperance, but nicknames are always welcomed. I’m also a total cat mum and post about them all the time, usually sneaking them into posts that have nothing to do with them. I use tone tags quite a bit so as to not to confuse people, and I'm practically a walking thesaurus when I wanna be.
Also I don’t use side blogs often, so my blog is a literal mess and chaotic. So if you are trying to figure out what fandom I’m in, or what I post about, it’s any and everything.
🌸 I love asking weird and nonsensical questions and love answering them too! I’m not a professional but my dms are always open and I always try to reach back out in a timely manner. I love chatting about every and anything! I am usually working on a writing project at all times so feel free to ask about one I’m working on.
🍂 I do have fandoms I’m active in such as: The Umbrella Academy, Bones, and the Marauders. These are the big three in my account.
About me
🍄Any and all pronouns
🌸 I don't really use labels but I am queer
🍂 I am a writer, nothing in particular I dabble in everything
✨i am a big pet name person, usually everyone i talk to or about is ‘babe’ or ‘babes’
☀️I am an aquarius sun and moon and a taurus rising
💫Intp and 5w4
🌜love a good debate!!!
Thing i like to do
🍄 learn about different mythologies
🌸 work in different forms of art

Today in comics - Hi. How ya doing. I'm taking a break from assignments.
Let's, let's talk about DC crossover comics for a little bit. They do a lot of them. Some of them aren't Scooby Doo.
So how about this, we talk about two bad ones, then a good one.
Okay. First cab off the rank:
I will happily say I missed the boat on whatever Rwby was, but I want to make an assumption that it involves a lot of talking because boy howdy, there's a lot of that. A lot of this goes over my head.
Okay let's get to the real treat of this thing. It looks so bad.
the real treat of this is them forgetting superman has that big s on his chest
Okay so that was funny bad, let's look at just, a lot of crossovers you see and go "Why". Let me show you
Batman meets Faze Clan. Who are faze clan?
According to wikipedia, apparently call of duty streamers.
Why.
Batman needs the help of real gamers to save heroes from vr headsets
This would be fun if they weren't, well, them? It's the most someone forked out a ton of cash for this and nothing else was involved kind of thing. Anyway they kill Mister Freeze and take his imprisoned wife as a trophy
There were six issues of the rwby one and at least it was entertaining to look at, there's one issue of this and I don't even want to get through the whole thing. Let's move on to good stuff.
Which is honestly something I didn't expect to say about a fortnite comic. Let's talk nitty gritty for a minute. Zero point is written by Christos Gage, he's been around writing comics a long while,
He's written some really good comics. And on art for this, Reilly Brown.
Reilly.
Fucking.
Brown.
(Read Incredible Hercules please)
So yeah, actual great creative team. What's the deal with the comic? I'm going to give you a brief outline and then cut to my favourite part. SO. Batman ends up on the battle royale island, and no one can talk.
On top of that, he's got no memories. Every time the storm finishes its loop his memory gets wiped.
So what does batman do in this situation?
He starts to figure it out loop by loop because well, Batman. Does what it says on the tin. Batman figures out how to get out.
Yall this is a fantastic read. Anyway. On to the best part. So the people running the island and all that stuff catch on that batman is going to get out. They need to stop him. So they do the thing that makes the most logical sense:
They send Snake Eyes after him.
It's really cool. And they keep fighting every loop. To the point where everyone catches on, and the battle royale stops. Entirely.
Because everyone wants to watch Snake Eyes fight Batman. This is one of my favourite pages in recent memory. It's so freaking dumb.
So thanks for joining me on this, why talk about this now? Well there's a multiversus one going on and it's being written by Bryan Q Miller, so it's exceptionally dumb and maybe take a look I dunno.
Anyway what was I getting at? Oh yeah read plastic man.

Just like last time, four groups to decide who will get the open spots. However there is a odd number so we might do a Last Chance Preliminary poll once again. The top 3 of each group will move on to the bracket. Number 4 will go to Last Chance. The rest are banished to catering forever.
The preliminaries themselves will be out soon hopefully in the next hour or so are out now. Thank you for the support and here's to another fighting game tournament.
Also been dead for a month so tagging for visibility, however you are not obligated to. If you do, then thank you very much.

Get to know me game!
I was tagged by the awesome awesome @the-one-who-lambs
rules: answer + tag six people u want to know
fav color: constantly changing tbh I can never make up my mind. I'm a big fan of impossible colors, obsolete and dangerous paint pigments, and black.
last song: Bass Boat - Zach Bryan. I've been leaning towards bigger, faster songs lately but I still like my slow tunes. And jazz. And swing. Swing... <3 (Note that I'm actually listening to The Landlord Song - Mute Frank ft. The Plague Review while writing this. One of my favs.)
currently reading: The better question is what I'm not reading. I'm constantly on A03 eating things up. I've also been skimming though Merlin Sheldrake's Entangled Life. When I'm sad I read The Hobbit, and I'm currently waiting on my new edition of Scooby-Doo Zombie Apocalypse along with Spiderman: Miles Morales. Also got my eye on Bloodshot Reborn vol. 2. Comics. Yay.
currently watching: Usually the answer to this would be Good Omens, but ever since the Neil Gaiman thing came out I've had more conflicted feelings. Huge comfort show, though. I have the TV guide and everything....sigh. Anyway, I've been meaning to rewatch the 2016 live action The Tick my beloved. That, or Firefly (2002). I'm the type of autistic that just watches the same shows over and over. So.
currently craving: I just ate so not much, HOWEVER I'm going to the city tomorrow and praying I can get this coconut chicken curry from this amazing Indian food place. Their curry fries and garlic butter naan are to die for as well. If not then maybe I'll go to the hole in the wall Indian buffet I found a rat skeleton outside of that one time. Incredible food. God I'm hungry again now.
coffee or tea: ,,,Neither. I'm sorry, can't stand the stuff. I've been cutting back on soda too so...sugar free sonic limeade water flavoring from the dollar store 🤤🤤🤤
Tagging @beautysnake @z00lea @wowowsophawowow @aveloka @donutfloats @adair-trashart (Sorry moots I tried to check if any of y'all have already done this but I may have missed someone 🤐)

Adrian and Dylan got back from the storage unit.
Adrian: We didn’t find anything. That sucks, we were so close
Dylan: Well we got something
Blank: Uh, Dylan Bryan came by while you were here.
Dylan: Oh is he still here?
Blank: No but he took something he had a box.
Dylan: What did he take?
Blank; I don’t know but he kept apologizing to the box.
Dylan: Wait..
He went to the back room.
The Cat suit containing their dads spirit was gone.
Dylan: He dad napped him! That son of a bitch!
Blank: Are you calling his mom a bitch or your dad?
Dylan:…either
Dylan arrived at Freddyland.
He found Bryan outside the hotel.
Dylan: Bryan!
Bryan: Crap! *Runs inside*
Dylan: Get back here and tell me where he is!
The two brothers chased each other inside
Dylan: You are so dead…again!
Bryan: Dylan calm down!
Dylan: No!
Bryan: It is weird seeing you so loud
Dylan: It’s weird for me too!
What follows was a Scooby doo style door chase with Bryan using his powers to go from room to room.
Bryan and Dylan then loose their breath and stumble in front of the medical area
Dylan: Where...is...dad
Bryan: You didn't need to chase me.
Dylan: Where.
Bryan; In there.
He pointed to the room.
Bryan: You could have asked.
Dylan: Fuck you.
They went in and found Cat(Matthew) Sitting on the bed reading a magazine.
Matthew: Hey.
Dylan: Dad?
Matthew:...Dylan? Wow i almost doesn't recognize you, you’ve grown up so much...I like your hair.
Dylan: I didn't dye it by choice.
Matthew: Yeah red isn't your color it’s Bryans
Bryan: see he’s fine.
Dylan: How did you?
Bryan: Some robotics, bit of portal stuff, bing bang boom, dad.
Matthew: I’d hug you but I can't get out of bed because I haven't used my legs in months.
Dylan: I have so many questions.
Matthew: Same here, like for one who is ‘Kim Kardashian’ and why should I care if she’s divorced or not.
Dylan: *To Bryan* you have him that magazine?
Bryan: It was the only thing I could find!
*Two hours later*
Matthew: Now let me get this straight *points to Bryan* Your mom made you forget my entire existence.
Bryan: Yeah.
Matthew: And Dylan, Valerie abandoned you with some friends of hers who abused you.
Dylan: Pretty much.
Matthew:...Bryan what's the cheapest thing in this room.
Bryan: Probably this *Grabs a iv Stand*
Matthew grabs it bends it into a pretzel shape and pulled it apart breaking it.
Matthew: Thanks.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to ABBEY ROAD—The 1969 epic album by The Beatles, Lynn Anderson, Johnny Appleseed, photographer/photojournalist (and my friend from the Davy Jones/Monkees orbit) Michael G. Bush, Carleen Carter, Craig Chaquico (good to have met you), Darby Crash (The Germs), Gal Costa, Donna Douglas, T.S. Eliot, one of my musical heroes Bryan Ferry, David Frizzell, another one of my musical heroes George Gershwin, Linda Hamilton, Dick Heckstall-Smith, Shannon Hoon (Blind Melon), Dolores Keane, Amanda Kearns, Julie London, Olivia Newton-John, OMD’s 1980 “Enola Gay” single, Ivan Pavlov, César Rosas (Los Lobos), Tracey Thorn, Stuart Tosh, the musical WEST SIDE STORY (premiered 1957), Serena Williams, and a great American singer-songwriter, entertainer, and NASCAR racing driver Marty Robbins. As one of the pioneers of “outlaw country music,” he released 500 recordings and 60 hit singles from the late 1940s into the 1980s. He’s best known for the western ballad “El Paso,” and I’m a fan of his interpretation of “Red River Valley.” I play both of those songs in assisted living homes, along with Marty’s “A White Sport Coat & A Pink Carnation”— https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qB0NM8JbYM
The lyrics portray a shattered young man who was stood up at the prom but, without saying, you know he’s going to bounce back. Marty got the visual for this song after passing a group of teenagers decked out for their high school prom. He zipped off this song in 20 minutes. His original 1957 track is premium country-pop trimmed with doo-wop and rockabilly. His creamy smooth voice owns the story, and his goal was to out-chart his earlier single “Singing the Blues,” which was eclipsed by a competing version by crooner Guy Mitchell. Ray Conniff arranged Mitchell’s international hit, and Marty insisted Ray run the session for his new song. Marty’s instincts were correct—it became his 3rd #1 hit, and it’s still on playlists and soundtracks (it’s also name-checked in Don McLean’s “American Pie”). It’s a fun vocal work-out. If you have prom photos you’d like to share (white sport coat optional), please post. Meanwhile, HB MR and thank you for your great singing and giving us so many songs.

im back again to ask u dumb questions i think abt
what is everyone's favourite song
Sr is really into jazz and 80s/70s music (kinnie moment) Ucr likes sad songs, but also metal!! He'd enjoy 50s/60s jams
Lesley would be into piano music ofc, but also peaceful and emotional songs? Like this !! 🥺 I love Bryan Adams
Manny would like the songs from the cartoons he'd watch, like Animaniacs or Scooby-Doo ^-^ he likes 80s pop as well
