lying about your identity to win arguments online and justify questionable fanfiction is honestly the natural conclusion that tumblr's specific culture and arguments tend to encourage. like of course this happened. of course it did. it's definitely happened before AND since. someone was unmasked several years ago for rakefacing on here too, tho I don't think it was fanfic related
#especially in like ~2016#idpol based politics are kind of dhaky and usually need to backed up by actual arguments right...but you don't always see that on here#bc if ur a rich white american girl you view them as tools to win an argument hence the racefaking. and everything else faking#not ALWAYS. like ppls lived experiences do genuinely deserve respect and consideration#but it depends on the argument/context/etc. and this girl saw a way to take that respect and leverage it to win petty internet arguments#in order to avoid criticisms for writing HIV HAMILTON FANFICTION#but obviously in general taking ppls backgrounds and life experiences into account and recognizing their credibility#when talking about their own life experiences is extremely important. and part of why she was able to get away with this for so long. insan#cor.txt

What runs/stories do you recommend for someone starting WW? Could you please be specific (/nicely)
Yeah ofc!
My Wonder Woman Starter Recs (specific style 😎)
First stops: for an initial introduction to Wonder Woman, I'd generally recommend going to at least one of three places first. These three are:
Wonder Woman: Historia: The Amazons by Kelly Sue DeConnick
Wonder Woman: Year One by Greg Rucka
Wonder Woman: the Hiketeia by Greg Rucka
Of these I generally recommend reading Historia first, as it's a retelling of the origin of the Amazons as a race and how Diana came to be (so it essentially starts from the beginning) and is also the most recent of the them (if that means anything). Something to note about Historia though is that it's a DC Black Label book, so it's events aren't strictly canon in the main DCU and there are some changes and new elements present. I don't think this is something that should discourage anyone from reading it though, it's the best WW origin story out there, and even in strict main canon over the years her origin is one that has had many fluctuations and small (& sometimes big) changes. WW:Historia is three prestige format (longer) issues.
You'll notice the third book there is WW: The Hiketeia. Hiketeia is a great book if you're looking for a view into Diana as a professional and experienced hero. It's a graphic novel so standalone and not too long, and has a great Diana and really interesting plot (Diana vows to protect a young woman and finds herself pressed against the wheels of Greek Tragedy). This is also the first work with Diana done by Greg Rucka, one of her most prolific and loved writers. A sampling of this work (and also Historia) I think gives a good guide to where to go next in terms of runs on her main title.
Wonder Woman: Year One is the second book on the list up there, but I'm mentioning it last here as it's a bit more complicated in terms of format. Unlike other year one books, WW: Year One is actually a series of issues on her main title, showcasing Diana's arrival to man's world in Rebirth (and also current p sure) continuity. The issue numbering for this one is strange (only the even issues 2-14 on WW (2016)) so I recommend looking for this in trade form if possible.
These 3 books I think give a taste of some of the best standalone stuff in the Wonder Woman mythos, and give the reader a good idea of where they may want to go next in terms of longer runs on the title. So I'll break that down here as a Step 2.
STEP 2: WHERE NEXT?
Here I break down some highly recommended runs based on what they have in common with the standalone books from step 1. As a rule, these runs are going to be much longer than the above and generally more connected to the wider DCU and other books. Look for the italics to see the introduction to each new work. Explanation paragraphs follow after each italic/bold rec.
Curious about Greek mythology in WW and the Amazons' origins after reading Historia? Liked the prescence of a supporting cast and Diana learning about Man's World from Year One? Willing to read a longer run? I recommend: Wonder Woman by George Pérez
George Pérez's time on Wonder Woman totally reinvented the character after Crisis on Infinite Earths, and is fundamental in establishing many core concepts of her lore. At 62 issues, 2 annuals, and a 4-issue crossover event at the end (War of the Gods), it's definitely a commitment to read, but it's the most enduring and well-loved run on Wonder Woman for a reason--it's just that damn good. Lots of focus on mythology (although with a lighter tone than Historia) alongside Diana learning her role in relation to Man's World & establishing herself as a hero and ambassador. Pérez's run also has almost-certainly the most expansive and developed supporting cast in WW comics, something that really drives the emotional core of the series, especially in later issues. Obligatory note that this series was written between 1987 and 1992 and contains some very occasional aspects that I thought were in some way dated/uncomfortable etc. while reading (details of Cheetah's origin, depiction of the Bana-Mighdall, Hercules) but despite that I still highly, highly recommend this run. The word fundamental cannot begin to describe it.
Liked the experienced Diana of the Hiketeia? Interested to see her attempt to balance the high stakes responsibilities of an ambassador and superhero? Looking for some really badass moments and fights? Haven't read enough terrible tragedy? I suggest: Wonder Woman by Greg Rucka 2003 EDITION.
Some of Diana's coolest moments of all time are collected here. Also one of her most controversial. The 1st Rucka run is very much the story for anyone who liked the Diana of the Hiketeia and the tragedy of that and Historia. 2003 Rucka Diana is a Diana tested, forced to make decisions that are anything but easy, and live with the consequences. She's extraordinarily capable, but her enemies know that and are prepared to that end. This run, along with the Pérez run, rank among my favorite Wondy comics of all time (those and Historia are my top 3). This run is such peak Diana, especially in terms of sheer badassery. Her final confrontation with Medusa is in my opinion perhaps the greatest Wonder Woman fight scene of all time. Her encounter with Athena in the second-to-last issue breaks me every time. Cannot recommend this book more.
*a note abt this run is that it is more context-dependent than the other ones listed here, as it's the run that finishes out the Wonder Woman vol. 2 book and so has some guest appearances from characters introduced in other prior runs (Artemis of Bana-Mighdall, Cassie Sandsmark, and Vanessa Kapatelis, to name a few). I read this run before knowing much (if anything) about any of them, and still enjoyed it a lot, so I wouldn't be worried about this really but just thought I'd mention it.
Rucka's 2003 run is published from Wonder Woman (1987) #195-226. You can also find it in trade and I believe(?) omnibus. Sometimes the Hiketeia is included in collections of this series, as the 03 run is thematically similar in many places, just with a much deeper look at Diana and the world & with higher stakes.
Liked the specific characters and plot threads of Wonder Woman: Year One? Want to see what happens with Diana's exile, or learn more about Barbara Ann? Want a Diana in between the extremes of young and highly experienced? Wonder Woman by Greg Rucka 2016 EDITION may be for you.
...yes I'm putting ANOTHER Rucka book on here. He writes a great Diana, what can I say. This run is the same one that Year One came out of, just the follow ups to that story and versions of the characters. I have this run listed as separate from Year One though, as there's some really big time skips since the events of that first volume. A lot of time has passed since then, and there's more history between the characters, not all of it without drama. This run continues to be weird with the numbering, as well as some artist changes, so I definitely recommend looking into reading this in trade format (physical or digital) if at all possible. My recommended reading order is WW 2016 by Rucka vol. 2 "The Lies" (Wonder Woman: Rebirth Special #1, followed by 2016 main title odd numbered issues 1-11), then Rucka 16 vol. 3 "The Truth" (odds 13-23) then Godwatch (evens 16 through 24) followed by 25? But The Truth and Godwatch combine near the end so that doesn't really work either. This run is so good but recommending it is such a pain because the numbering is so all over the place. On God I never know which order to read this in. Going to revoke my previous statement and say read it as Rebirth Special 1, then only odds 1 through 11, then from 13 through 25 normally. That may lead to some weirdness as you read because the two stories take place at different times and have different art styles, but they come together at the end pretty dramatically so I think it's less confusing to read it this way? Maybe? So strange bc this is one of the go to good starter runs and yet it's set up so unintuitively. If someone has a better way to read this then let me know and ill edit, ik this explanation is super confusing bc neither way to read it is totally ideal imo and I feel I definitely read it in a weird order.
Going to call that a good rundown of some of my greatest recommendations in terms of Wonder Woman comics. If anything wasn't fully clear here or anyone (not just anon) has questions or wants to talk abt WW comics/my choices feel free to send as many asks or dms as you want. Have a good day everybody, & as Diana says, may the glory of Gaea be with you <3
#slept on this post for longer than i wanted to but yeah 👍#ive got to go to bed now but this is how id do it#start w the great minis/short ones and then follow your favorite themes into the amazing longer runs#also ik there are some stuff ive seen recommended a lot that arent here. (namely the simone run and legend of ww by liz denae(?) but thats#bc i havent read them yet. also even if so idk if id send them rhere first when this exists#theres sooooooo much rucka on here to be so honest but i dont apologize. there for a reason#also didnt mention the other 2 runs i see starter recommended all the time which is nu52 and tom king bc uh no <3. we dont do that here.#yeah theyre easy to jump on bc they both start with 1 but theyre not a good representation of diana the amazons or why people like diana. or#in tk's case theyre just kind of mid/bad and weird.#idk. not worth mentioning so i didnt#anon if this isnt specific enough for you feel free to follow up. especially about the rucka 2016 because that one is weird with the reading#order and i think i only made it more confusing w my explanation there#diana of themyscira#reading guides#answered

wait eyewitness was actually such a great tvshow why didn't it get more hype ?
there's everything, even the villain was actually interesting, the ending's almost perfect, there's found family and all the characters are complex even the ones we don't see a lot
helen is everything i want to see in a female badass character (she's actually badass but also sensitive and flawed), same for philip and/or lukas (lukas is afraid of coming out and doesn't want philip to tell people they're a thing) who have a very basic storyline but a relationship that made sense and some twists in it (like philip who actually tells lukas he's an assh*le, which, well, fair)
i definitely recommend eyewitness it's like only 10 episodes and it's so easy to watch !
#eyewitness#philip#lukas#philkas#a lot of subtext too especially for the villain's storyline#it's really well done#nothing is too much on the nose#and the musics ?#so 2016#there's actually twilight's music in it like#“way down we go” too ?#even the composition was cool#i'm actually surprised it was such a great show because it really has the vibes of every other thriller show from 2010's

one thing about bts is they were never embarrassed about having a large female fan base and that’s a part of the reason why they are where they are tbh
#i saw a yt vid about like old 5sos drama#and i loved 5sos from like 2014-2016#and looking back im like damn#they lowkey (kinda highkey even) were really embarrassed about us being their demographic#and i think a lot of male artists especially feel like they need male validation to be considered legitimate#bc anything young women like is shit on by the general public#but like#bts never complained about us dragging down their legitimacy#whether that bc them or management it just makes me v 💕✨#ALSO THIS IS NOT 5SOS SHADE IM SURE THEYVE MATURED IM JUST SAYING DONT EVEN START W ME LMAO

The sequels don't get enough credit (now, anyways) for pointing out that however edgy, radical and legitimately dangerous fascists are, they're also total fucking losers.
Young people radicalized by old men and women into a meat grinder because they think society was better in the bad old days, weaponized nostalgia at anyone they hate. But all that does is make them look and act like children playing dress up, throwing the worlds greatest temper tantrum as a reaction to progressive movements
#(Tag) star wars#Thinking about kylo ren and the first order tonight#Star wars#I still remember how socially relevant the first order was and is to modern politics.#Especially in 2016#And now of course you have trump back in politics and like. The comparisons there are obvious.#Weaponized nostalgia for quote unquote greater times

Another hot topic by a different Anon!!!
You shouldn't attack people over a character they like because of recent events. They can't control the government and so can't you, especially if all they're doing is making fanart, fanfiction, headcanons, etc etc of said character
^^^ I think it should go without saying that Hetalia fans should be cognizant of the fact that they are dealing with slightly controversial topics when participating in personification of IRL nations. All in all meaning that Hetalia fans should understand, better than most, that fiction ≠ reality.
#Like could you imagine if the fandom tried to host a boycott against Ivan fanart because of the war in Ukraine?#there is nuance and i urge everyone especially younger fans to do your research and know what youre talking about/depicting#make wise choices and be respectful to the real ppl who live in these nations!#but also like...have fun...were supposed to be having fun here kiddos#vulp asks#def a hot take anon! idk if the fandom is ready for this kind of conversation i still have ptsd from the fandom wars of 2016

Younger liberals in my social media echo chambers: Ha, Kamala Harris is going to kick Trump's ass! Can you imagine his tantrum when he loses to a woman? I can't wait to elect our first female President this November!

youtube
thinking about one of my favorite vocal performances from scott on valley of song,,, (since afaik this one isn't getting a video and therefore won't have its moment in the spotlight i thought now is as good a time as any)
#love the melodica (or at least what sounds like a melodica) in the instrumental mix too!#i saw a recording of a 2022 live version of this song that had scott singing it in his more typical range#and i just want to thank whoever told him to try singing it lower bc it sounds so much better (both were good but this is superb)#my other favorite vocal moment from scott is the pre-chorus on evangeline (like the super shouty part)#bc of course the old album had shouty moments but comparing that to how melodic/controlled the shouting is on evangeline?#genuinely proud of how far the vocals have come#i think my favorite vocal moment from paul is all of gerbil (especially comparing it to the version from the 2016 live album)#but spoiler alert gerbil is getting a video and it's one of my favorites#there's 3 videos left. all 3 are great but there's 2 in particular that i'm so excited to start sharing with people#Youtube

Half assed screens, but some of the glamours I might will use for Ieeha throughout the journey of Dawntrail!
#its funny cause im actually super nervous#in a way thats really similar to how i felt when heavenward dropped#im as prepared as i possibly can be i think for the way ieeha will look with the new graphics#while trying to remind myself to cling onto the hope of being able to mod him#maybe ill be positively surprised of how he looks but tbh i kinda doubt it with his key features being changed#but ill try to stay positive as much as possible at least#im sad that burnout + lack of PC made me miss out on so much of endwalker#i think thats why i dont feel ready for dawntrail yet... because i dont feel done with endwalker#but ill just do all the things im behind on after!!!!!!#ieeha de verral#ieeha#my screenshot#ffxiv glamour#also someone once pointed out i use the maid tights a lot#and they were right. but its still nowhere near how much i use the midan horn of healing#im serious its been the key feature of ALL of ieehas healer glams since...... when did midas drop? early 2016? since then#the field commanders gloves are my second most glamoured item most likely#especially since is for all classes.......#i want to use other headpieces but they either clip or arent visible under ieehas bangs#or they just look off#who knows what will happen in DT... maybe he'll find a new hairstyle or smth. he's had the same since like 2018#TIME SHALL TELL HEHE
