Stitch, BayMax, Emi I would love all 3 there to be fanart!!!! There will be many Disney references in my Ken Sato Story. ‘Outgrown’

Ken & Hana would be so David & Nani coded. 🥺🫶🏽🤭🖤✨

I’ll may or may not make an au with Baymax and a separate one with Stitch. And one with all 3 characters🥺🖤✨

I feel love these characters Emi would love them so so much!!! I need fan art of Stitch & Emi!!!

Maybe a bigger version of stitch meeting Emi or her as pocket sized Emi, Ken & Reader meeting Lilo, the whole Ohana. In the fic.

Emi would jump up and down excitedly to see Stitch and do the Kaiju Godzilla dance with her. Especially on how many times Stitch would imitate the huge spider ("Earth vs. the Spider" (1958) ) kaiju in the first Lilo & Stitch movie. And the family watching "Them!" (1954)

Baymax & Emi!!! Fanart!!! I feel like she would deflate him😭😭😭🫶🏽 bless her.

Three Ships: It's actively hard to choose only three because I'm a multishipper at heart. It's rare for me to be in a fandom and not have half a dozen or more favorite pairings.

BG3 Gortash/Just about anyone. I tend to lean Durgetash because "threats of cannibalism during intimacy" is just a fascinating dynamic to me for some reason. But really. Anyone. And there is sooooo much it's actively hard to wade through.

Cyberpunk 2077: Viktor Vektor/V (Any). Don't care what gender V is, I'm just salty Vik wasn't a romance option.

Fallout: Boone/Arcade. I fully blame inbox's submissions to the Fallout Kink Meme waaaaay back when, but they ruined me. I think about Good Ones, Lost Ones often. It has haunted me for more than a decade.

First Ship: It's been so long I don't even remember, but it was probably Han/Leia. Or Vader/OC because the prequel trilogy didn't exist yet. Started my villain obsession early.

Last Song: Looping Absolution by L'Ame Immortelle while working on chapter 12 of AoW.

Last Movie: Earth vs The Spider (1958) for the family's weekly B-movie night.

Currently Reading: The entirety of Gortash Week.

Currently Watching: My spouse playing Assassins Creed Odyssey. I'm not much of a TV watcher, I prefer books or interactive media like videogames.

Currently Eating: Just had a gyro

Currently Craving: A cat to pet.

Favorite Color: #FA6607 orange and #005B8E Copenhagen Blue Prismacolor

Current Obsession: I have been severely afflicted with Gortash brainrot. But also general old Forgotten Realms lore and real world historical alchemy.

Last Thing I Googled: Links for above.

Favorite Season: Autumn. Not too cold, not too hot, not raining EVERY fucking day.

Skill I'd Like To Learn: I want to re learn how to draw.

Best Advice: You can't please everyone. Be kind, but don't be a doormat.

Tagging: @picathartidae @pantsbutfancy and @the-pale-elfs-love as well as anyone else interested. (only actively tagging mutuals who have specifically volunteered for tagging games, I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable by putting them on the spot)

what movie is the spider movie?

Earth vs. the Spider (aka the spider) 1958

I’m pretty sure that scene is when they bring the spider to their highschool to study it. (Goes about as well as you’d think)

Legion of Super-Heroes: Rank the Versions

The Legion of Super-Heroes was my entry point into comic books. My uncle handed me a digest-sized reprint of their early Silver Age appearances, and it has been my strongest comics love since that point. Others come and go but the Legion (and its million characters) will always be my true love in comics.

I saw a thread on reddit the other day asking readers to rank the various versions of the Legion of Super-Heroes, so lets go:

The Original (1958 – 1989): This is an obvious number one. The original LOSH laid the foundations for every version, reboot, and homage to come. All the mainstays – heroes, supporting characters, enemies, locations – debuted in this run. The most classic moments and famous storylines occurred with this version. Easy number one.

The Reboot (1994 – 2004): Another strong version that successfully modernized multiple characters. Lyle Norg’s reboot had to quadruple his fan base. The White Triangle storyline was fantastic. This version had a few questionable choices but overall was very strong.

Five Years Later (1989 -1994) The most controversial version but I love it. Not a perfect run but the characters were awesome. I have never loved Jo Nah as much as I have in this run. Cosmic Boy, Night Girl, Kent Shakespeare, Infectious Lass, and Spider-Girl were other standouts. Roxxas was hilarious but terrifying in his insanity. The Subs were badass, fearless warriors in the resistance. Jacques had something to do besides utter random French words! Tyroc became something other than a walking cliches! Glorith was something other than a devolved blob of goo! Sun Boy’s downfall was painful and horrifying! Love this run!

Threeboot (2004-2009): Mark Waid returned to the Legion for another reboot and threw everything sideways. It was great! Lyle was vastly different than the reboot but still received more character development than his original version. Loved the Cosmic Boy and Brainy rivalry. The addition of Supergirl was unnecessary and the ending was weak but still – many enjoyable moments.

Legion of Super-Heroes (cartoon): Nothing ground-breaking but it was fun.

The Retroboot(2007 -2011). I wanted to love this more than I did. The storylines and characters were bland. It started off strong with the Lightning Saga, the Superman/Legion vs Earth Man’s Justice League, and the Legion of Three Worlds storyline. Even the first year of the title wasn’t bad – Earth Man joins the Legion, Titan is destroyed, etc but it turned into forgettable blandness. Way too many new characters were introduced that weren’t memorabIe. I did love the spotlight on Night Girl and her relationship with Cosmic Boy. Tyroc again was something other than a stereotype. Legion Lost didn’t amount to anything – too bad as it was an interesting concept.

The Imperial Guard (Marvel): A Legion by any other name is…the Imperial Guard. I remember reading their first appearance in a Classic X-men reprint and I immediately tagged the group as a Legion homage. Always fun when they make an appearance. I love that Marvel keeps the group strong even though the team is an homage to a competitor. The Guard won the trial of Jean Grey/the Phoenix. Gladiator defeated the Fantastic Four. Gladiator and the Guard were standouts of Marvel’s 2000 cosmic runs. Love it.

Bendisboot (2019): Speaking of blandness, there is this hot mess. I didn’t even finish the run and that is the only time I can say that about a Legion run. Team books are not Bendis’ forte – his Avengers run should have proven that so I am unsure why DC thought he would be a good choice for a writer of the biggest team in the comic book industry.

There are other versions that I didn’t list simply because they only appeared for an issue/episode so there’s not much to rank. I did enjoy most of the “one-shot” Legions.
