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???

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 🎉

your latest post about your psychiatrist telling you you're "reverse placeboing" yourself is so funny bc the medication they give to us with ocd (ssirs) are proven to be a placebo. you're not convincing yourself the medicine doesn't work it literally just doesn't. psychiatry is so deeply unhelpful but especially so for ocd they're just like "have you considered simply not having ocd?"

It’s so frustrating and some people won’t even see me by virtue of having an ocd diagnosis because it’s considered resistant to treatment and inconsistent aka there’s no formulaic cheat code prescription they can slap me with so they don’t want to even try to play on medium difficulty. It’s not even just ssris for me although I’ve been on essentially all of them and they do NOTHING for me except some epic erectile dysfunction sometimes awesome but I have straight up been on everything ssris snris mood stabilizers benzos beta blockers gabapentin buspar prazosin sleeping pills migraine medication. antipsychotics despite never having psychosis?? ANTIHISTAMINES FOR DEBILITATING PANIC ATTACKS?

And what’s crazy is I think my willingness to try 5 thousand different medications is actually pretty open minded but they’re so dismissive of stopping medication because it’s not working or because of horrible side effects. I stopped taking some weird experimental ssri because it was absolutely horrific and every time I got prescribed something for the rest of the duration of seeing my psychiatrist she’d say “you know you have to actually take it for it to work” like fuck off? If I take the meds it’s my fault for them not working if i don’t take them it’s my fault for not trying. FED UP!

LOVE when the pharmacy decides to fucking dick around with my meds so badly that now I’m off my mood stabilizer, my pain meds, and my fucking birth control (in a few days) because they’re insisting I should have extra fucking bottles of each one and I DONT because they don’t let me pick up more than a one month supply of narcotics at a fucking time so do explain where these extra bottles are, hmm ????? and they didn’t have enough caplyta ordered last time to even give me my usual 3 months supply of that so … ???? get your fucking heads out of your asses and give me the fucking meds you owe me ??? like ??? but I’m in a nasty headspace right now so if I call the pharmacy this morning, I’m going to be that cunt ass customer they bitch about all day because this isn’t the first time they’ve done this. in fact, the first time, they straight up committed insurance fraud by marking one of my scripts as filled and picked up WHEN, IN REALITY, THEY FUCKING LOST THE SCRIPT AND HAD NO RECORD OF IT BEING FILLED OR PICKED UP IN THEIR SYSTEM, BUT YET, MARKED IT AS SUCH AND CHARGED MY INSURANCE AN ALMOST 8 GRAND FOR THE FUCKING 3 MONTHS OF MY MOOD STABILIZER THAT I. NEVER. RECEIVED. I’m genuinely about to report this entire pharmacy to the pharmacy board because I’m so fucking done with this place. it needs to be shut the fuck down because you’re telling me, out of an entire pharmacy, y’all share the same IQ point AND dead brain cell, collectively ??? then don’t fucking work in healthcare where people rely on you to know your shit and keep track of their fucking meds because you’re just constantly making shit worse on people since you can’t seem to not fuck around with these meds and not ‘lose’ scripts. fuck out of here.

and I’m pretty much out of weed, which is usually my back up pain management method, without the money to afford a delivery order by their cut off time to order in 3 hours because I just paid my fucking bills and have SOME to go towards it, but not enough for delivery to be free, and I’d still have to walk my ass to one of the ATM’s nearby because they don’t accept my bank as a prepaid method OR any of the cards I have on my person. 🫠

I can literally feel my back spasming and seizing on and off while I’m laying on my fucking side, I’ve had a migraine with a stupid ass aura for almost a week now because chronic migraines fucking suck and i was REALLY hoping this one would be over by now, my muscle inflammations that my pain meds are supposed to limit are already beginning to start their itching deep in my muscles so soon they’ll blossom into a whole fibromyalgia fucking episode and become entirely inflamed, my joints in my hands fucking hurt because of the dreary weather so I really need to get into a rheumatologist at some point soon as well and get that shit figured out, I’m nauseas as fuck from all the pain, and I’m moody, hormonal, and just feel like fucking death physically.

I’m just. I give up.

this shit is exhausting and painful and so mentally fucking taxing to constantly deal with and I just want a fucking break from all this fucking shit. I wish I could just … not exist … for even just a little while with how fucking painful existing actually feels right now 🫠😭

Really fucking tired of the way rural people are put down for the way they talk. Seriously I don’t understand how you can put someone down and mock them for being uneducated and improper when they speak in fucking poetry on a daily basis? Access to education is something I wish everyone had equally. But the next time someone comes at me on a fucking high horse about speech mannerisms I going to snap. I don’t care how well you know your grammar and paragraph formation. Me and the other hicks are passing down verbal history and idioms you would weep if you heard. Plus you don’t even use those grammar rules your so proud of in day to day speech !!! No one talks “well” 100% of the time. But the rural and impoverished ppl you make fun of are out here saying shit like “you’re blushin’ redder than a patch of raspberries” in day to day life. I’m so fucking mad about this. Why are there ppl who do not see any value in that.
