#exclusive title

[ragsy]

I handle a lot of books every day, and I have learned that cozy mystery novels (which the grandmas go NUTS over) always have some sort of cute animal or whimsical handicraft on the cover, but since they're mysteries, there's usually still some form of grisly murder involved, which gets you absolute gems like this:

I think Aventio and Screwtio shippers shouldn't fight. After all, Ratio has two hands!

That's right. Two hands.

One for his chalk.

One for his codex.

Both of which he's holding in an embarrassed death grip as they chat away with each other about him.

the success of the switch 2 all relies on how many exclusive titles it can get. i assume we will get a zelda, mk9, a mario 3D platformer, and the real question is "can it get them as close to launch as possible."

a console lives and dies by how many exclusive titles it gets.

the main issue is trying to get it out of the switches shadow. lets just hope it works ^-^

Do you think Nemesis fantasizes about being the Knight to Melinoe's Princess and being quest-given to fight Chronos for her or something. Then she sees Melinoe out on the Run somewhere covered in blood and bruises and such and it fills her with unfathomable rage.

I am watching Oliver like this 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀 because I cannot wait to see if his photography switches from black and white to colour when Eddie comes out of his closet or as buddie go canon - it really would be taking the wizard of oz metaphor to a whole new level of meta that I would very much enjoy!!

I am sympathetic to people who get tired of seeing Barbara as Batgirl in stories, because yeah I also prefer her as Oracle. I think it respects her skillset more because she's got talents that she's generally wasting if she's bopping around in Batgirl costume as a street level hero.

Is everyone writing comics always going to agree with me? Clearly not. And we have a situation where there was a solid 10 year period from 2011 to 2021 where Barbara was not only Batgirl, but the Batgirl.

Damian has spent most of his time as a hero with Barbara as Batgirl. Jason has spent practically ALL of the period he's a hero or an anti-hero with Barbara as Batgirl (I don't believe he ever realised she was Oracle while he was a villain). And in the transition back into Babs being Oracle regularly from 2021 to date, this is realistically a new situation for both of them, because heck, Barbara was very specifically avoiding being on comms with Damian as Oracle during Reborn. He wasn't allowed in the Aerie.

But sometimes it feels almost obtuse when people in particular start going "why isn't Steph here as Damian's Batgirl?" about stories, particularly alternate continuity stories.

Because, largely, she's...not? You're trying to preference 4 issues of Batgirl 2009 and 1 issue of World's Finest where they interact over ten years of Barbara's stories? There are more pages of Christmas Specials featuring Damian as Robin and Barbara as Batgirl than there are appearances of Damian and Steph together during Batman: Reborn.

Why does some team ups and bickering in 2010 on page end up being more important than Barbara being there for Robin Rises? For Batman & Robin Eternal? For Alfred's wake?

If the story is specifically pitched as something set during Batman: Reborn? Sure, then you can have Damian and Steph together with Steph as 'his' Batgirl.

But any time after that? It's probably Barbara. It was Barbara. And having Babs included as Batgirl isn't always people out to make you mad. She was in the role on her own for 10 years. It's not surprising that she's the default for some people.

You can fight for this if you want it! But you're fighting an uphill battle and would be better off hoping for current interactions with a new reset, rather than trying to claim Steph and Damian are an 'obvious' pair when they're effectively not.

Something something why is the head of the Sixth House called the Warden when it makes far more sense for the head of the Ninth.

by far the most annoying thing about putting together the scoundrel's toyhouse page is having to copy and paste the censored part of d█████. and yes i COULD just write it as d_____ but that doesn't look as cool

[rbtlvr]

... im going to be so real with you all. i straight up dont know what to work on now that im basically done w this fic

[moonshynecybin]

seriously why would jlo say that knowing he eventually won the championship some say solely due to marc giving him a tow + falling in sepang + defending for him in valencia. now i’m thinking of vale in that podcast saying he heard from friends of spanish friends that marc didn’t want him to win the championship… i’m like 2 quotes from believing marc actually was sabotaging him in PI lmao

just bc marc was being a bit of a whiny twenty two year old does not mean he was sabotaging vale. like that man still had vale's toy bikes up next to his bunk bed lets be serious

[three-dee-ess]

going up to bat against the wii u lovers on my 3DS blog was a mistake i did not realize it had that many defenders to this day
