DC released an “essential graphic novels” guide and i have…many complaints. like. you’re really going to give batman six pages of recs but only two pages each to superman and wonder woman?

where is superman: birthright? american alien? superman: for all seasons? the black ring and last son???? even rebirth action comics, which isn’t the most stand-out title, but is at least as good as some of the stuff that made it onto the batman list. there are so many iconic superman titles that didn’t make the cut in favor of cramming more mid-tier bat books recs in this list. 😭

you could have ditched most of the content on these two pages, given superman and wonder woman an extra page each, and still had four pages worth of batman graphic novels!!! literally nothing on these pages short of maybe court of the owls has had any long term impact on gotham lore!!! these aren’t even the best batman books!!!

also not a single pick on this page is what i would pick as an intro to these characters but especially rhato. if you were going to recommend a single jason todd book, why would you pick rhato over under the hood???

i would have put batman & robin ‘09 for damian and birds of prey or batgirl: year one for babs, and… maybe shadow is the batgirl for cass, since the trades for her old solo are out of print. and probably gotham city sirens for catwoman.

it’s also criminal that they didn’t include batwoman: elegy.

I really don’t understand why people hate Tommy so much? Like. It’s okay not to like the guy, but if you think he’s just a temporary love interest anyways then literally why do you care???

Ever since brain broke my entire writing process has been fucked. I’ve been able to reclaim the aspects of my brain capable of creating Advanced Sentences as I call them, but now it’s as though I cannot possibly focus on anything long enough for it to matter. In the last two weeks I’ve worked on at least six separate WIPs and accomplished very little in terms of actual movement and progress. It’s so fucking frustrating because I know something is wrong but I can’t figure out where the failure is. Is it mental illness, is it meds, is it lack of stimulation, is it getting older, is it lingering covid side effects, is fucking mercury in Gatorade like ahhhhhhh.

It’s.. fascinating in a brand new way (a terribly disappointing way) to see HoYo fumble the bag this fast.

I was contemplating making a post about this a day or 2 ago, mostly about the Natlan explosion, but then Moze’s drip marketing happened… and suffice to say I think there’s a bit more substance for me to comment on 🫠

I’ll start with Natlan and try to articulate the thoughts properly, since both my own thoughts and my intake of others’ views has had a couple days to settle in my mind:

I wanna preface with the fact that I love Hoyoverse. I really, really do (I desperately wanna work for them, actually, lol. It’s a dream of mine). And I think that’s obvious to people who have seen a couple of my posts.

But it’s precisely because I love them so much, hold them in such a high regard, and respect mostly everything about them, that their recent performance has just left me deeply…. Disappointed.

Sheer, RAW disappoinment makes up the bulk of my feelings and attitude towards what they’ve been doing recently: which is not listening to their community where it REALLY matters. I was present when the uproar over Sumeru happened. I was disappointed then too, but at that time I more-so existed as a confused outsider observing what was going on (I am a poc but not SWANA). Everything about it — from the large-scale disrespectful mix of many cultures, to the 💀 TERRIBLE idea to not pronounce Tighnari’s name correctly AT ALL, to the abhorent lack of melanin in characters (that are DIRECTLY inspired by figures hailing from African countries) — was… bad. REALLLYYY bad. But I’ll be honest when I say: the way I rationalized it in my brain was “Well, they did add more dark-skinned characters to the roster! I guess this is just their version of ‘darker skin’ ” (which, by itself is already a terrible thing BECAUSE they take care to try and represent real world cultures faithfully).

So the fact that it’s happened again. And worse (SOMEHOW⁉️⁉️) is something that’s making me realize how lackluster it was before. And I am desperately rooting for a change. Fool me once, shame on me type shit genuinely.

Now.. in regards to Moze (Star Rail)’s EN VA 🫠. Everything I know about that man I learned in the past 24 hours. So all I will say is that EVEN if he’s worked to better himself, having been BLACKLISTED from the industry (BECAUSE THE CRIMES WENT ON FOR A DECADE!! MIND YOU) means it is way too fuckin soon to hire someone like that again 💀. They took action against Tighnari’s original VA, so that they’ve done this now is… weird…??? I’m just really confused, yo.

Edit, as of July 25, 2024: Chris made a post on his twitter claiming he has chosen to step down as the VA. 🫡 Step 1 is a W, congratulations everyone 🎉

it’s so concerning how obsessed people online are with celebrities relationships. the same people who say “they don’t know you and wouldn’t want you” when you stick up for a celebrity who’s done nothing wrong proceeds to drag a man they DONT know and will NEVER know based on RUMORS like we’re in HIGH SCHOOL and proceed to drag his looks like that is ever a good place to go.
