„Our deal still stands, simian…”

Okay so I drew it as a scene from my Lost Signal AU when Macaque got caught by LBD after Mayor followed him home after one of the frantic encounters with MK but y’all can interpret it however you want :v

Also another thing about the AU is that Bai He (LBD’s hostess) was already half-dead at the time the witch found her in the alleyway. So her body relies only on LBD’s powers to stay ‘alive’ and functional. It’s a cruel world what else can I say :’D?

I put up two versions here since I couldn’t decide which one was better TwT

Just found out there's ruins of a whole ass abandoned ghost town in the woods not far from where I live and my overwhelming desire to explore sketchy ruined structures has once more activated.

I've started playing Potion Permit, and so far it's one of my favorite games I've messed around with, but the most big brained move the devs made was giving you a dog on day 1, and then making that dog able to track NPCs and lead you directly to them no matter where they are in the town.

Sometimes when I’m alone I can’t always watch my true crime. My brain gets a little run away with the imagining and every noise is potential danger. But I still want it, so instead I’m watching cozy British mysteries. Father Brown has gotten me hooked.

Your sentence for the 1+5 fic thing:

The thing before him was nothing like he'd seen ever before but at the same time it felt so familiar that seeing it made his chest hurt.

Amir put on his glasses, inching cautiously closer to the twisted mass of flesh half hidden under a blanket where the night before his best friend Arri had been laying.

Arri had been on military leave, so they had met up, virtually popped each other's pixellated heads at the arcade, had pizza together and a sleepover at Amir's place like when they were teenagers.

Carefully, Amir closed his fingers around the edge of the blanket, almost backing away when mass of flesh stirred and groaned in seeming agony, inhuman gurgling sounds eminating from the chest region.

His nerves steeled and Amir ripped the blanket away in one swift move, exposing the full mass of contorted flesh, skin replaced by what looked like keratin and chitin and bones fully visible, joints bent in a way no human could ever manage and yet among all the grotesque flesh there was half of Arri's face warped almost beyond recognition.

And then the horrifying creature lunged at him.

December 1986. In the wake of the Crisis on Infinite Earths, John Byrne plainly expresses the ugly nativist foundations of Superman's new post-Crisis origin. Contemplating the history and culture of Krypton, which he's just received as a massive telepathic info-dump from a hologram of Jor-El, Superman unequivocally rejects as "ultimately meaningless" every single aspect of his Kryptonian heritage, from language to art to religion. Moreover, he expressly denies that he himself is an immigrant. This is not simply semantic; in Byrne's version, the starship that carries Kal-El to Earth is a "birthing matrix" — an in vitro womb in which Kryptonian embryos are grown — so he's not technically born until he lands on Earth and is decanted by his human parents on American soil:

This is actually Byrne's kindest take on the post-Crisis Krypton in this period: His horrifying 1988 WORLD OF KRYPTON miniseries, drawn by Mike Mignola, presents Jor-El's world as a fallen, postapocalyptic society, ruined, both environmentally and morally, by the degeneracy (a word I use advisedly) of Krypton's last Golden Age. Only Jor-El is presented as having any moral worth, and only because of his interest in the traditions and history of Krypton before the fall, which his father and peers (including Lara) consider distasteful. This questioning of modern Kryptonian culture ultimately gives Jor-El the wherewithal to save his (unborn) son from Krypton, both from its actual destruction and from its soulless corruption of natural human values. Yikes!

It's also worth recalling the status quo that MAN OF STEEL erased. Since 1958, Superman had been part of a diaspora of Kryptonian survivors: Besides himself and Krypto (with whom Byrne later dispensed very harshly), there were the millions of inhabitants of the Bottle City of Kandor, stolen by Brainiac before the destruction of Krypton and later enlarged on the distant planet Rokyn; Supergirl, born on Argo City after Krypton's destruction; the prisoners in the Phantom Zone; the Kryptonian bully Dev-Em and his parents (who later traveled to the 30th Century); and Supergirl's Kryptonian parents (who survived the destruction of Argo City and later settled in Kandor). In his Fortress of Solitude, Superman kept a private journal in Kryptonese. His intimates often referred to him as "Kal," not Clark. He observed, to at least some degree, certain Kryptonian customs, and in moments of stress, he would invoke the name of the Kryptonian god ("Great Rao!"). He was, like many members of real-world diasporas, a man of two worlds — neither wholly of Krypton nor entirely of Earth, but part of both, and an interstellar hero.

The Byrne/Wolfman reboot erased almost every facet of that, and very deliberately. Part of this, of course, was a desire to shake things up for commercial reasons, while part was DC's editorial conviction (mistaken, I think) that allowing any Kryptonian survivors other than Superman himself weakened and undermined Superman as a character. However, as the pages above make clear, it was also a desire to slam the door on the idea of Superman as an immigrant — and, by extension, on the Jewish coding that had been a central feature of the Superman comics mythos for nearly 30 years.

Found a 3oT text dump and I'm reading through it now because it's a much faster way to pick up bits I'd forgotten when I last played Trio of Towns to collect for inspiration and future bits in Earth and Rebirth.

And I just came across this gem from Ford's dialogue:

Brad and I have been friends since I first moved to Westown. He was one of the first to come up and speak to me when I arrived. In fact, he would barge into my house and leave meals on my table on a daily basis. Eventually, I caved in and began going to his restaurant instead.

And I just KNOW from the moment Brad met Ford he looked at him and immediately clocked "This man is not eating enough, and wouldn't know flavor if it bit him on the ass. I have to fix this!" and decided the best method of "fixing" that was to just casually barge into Ford's house, without invitation and I imagine actually break in once or twice, to ensure he had real food and honestly.

Gotta respect that energy.

Bet Ford only caved and started going to the restaurant because Brad's intrusions were unpredictable and happened whenever he had a few spare minutes to run a take out box of the daily special across town for Ford.
