Heya! What are you guys going to do for April 1st?

"Maybe cause a bit of confusion around the castle...but other than that, nothing much."

What I love about mishapocolypse is that it's not even that funny, it's just like a little sport where you try to inflict as much psychic damage on your mutuals as possible. Just cause a little chaos. Make the dash unusable. Spam post for a Tumblr tradition. After all, we all need to enthusiastically participate in something objectively kind of lame SOMETIME. Why not Misha?

This post is an apology to Tom King.

I recently re-read Riddler: One Bad Day and it's actually a masterpiece!

There's something truly fantastical about how Riddler's intelect is portrayed almost as a mystical power! The scene where Edward mind tricks all the cops into killing each other by laying on the floor and laughing like a maniac is pure art and I'm truly sorry for previously calling it "stupidly edgy", "the moment the comic lost all chance of salvation", "the final proof male power fantasies are a diservice to the entertaiment industry" and "soo dark is actually hilarious".

I also need to compliment the ambiguousness of if Riddler became who he is because of the abuse he endure or if his dad was abusive BECAUSE Edward was always bad is fantastically creepy and necessary. If your narrative does not have victim blaming as one of the possibilities in your moral debate about the inexistence of redemption and the need for violent cops ... I mean heros who kill the villains because evil will never stop nor change what's even the point?

I'm also sorry for my mean coments over Riddler reveling that he was part of Joker's attack against Barbara Gordon. It is actually a really nice nod to the original, specially in the way it reinforces Barbara's place as an useless plot point without agency that only serves to motivate her father. After all why would anyone ever want Babs to actually matter in an event that changed her life forever? Gordon is pissed. That's what matters.

The RIDDLER hating RIDDLES and using them to protect the world from himself by constantly re-living his trauma because actually the trauma was what stopped him from murdering for a long time and does that mean the story is retconing itself to show he was born evil? Is the BEST plot twist. If all future versions of Edward don't hate his gimmick and his own identity and think dorky people who tell riddles are actually stupid and puzzles are dumb than the comic industry will have to live in shame.

Back to talking about the portral of woman! I'm soo happy that the comic took away the voice from Edward's mother presenting her only by what her job as a sex worker represented to the people around her! Such a feminist take! And the snapy Riddler was justified in being mad that his henchmen sleept with his mother because being a sex worker is dirty actually. Gorgeus.

This comic also has the best teacher characther ever. He is so real for ignoring a kid's cry for help, considering their neurodivergent coded anxiety and dificulties are a case of needing to chill and seing all the most obvious sings of abuse ever as "very unchill kid behavior". And the comic is soo right for portraying this man as sympathetic and good and how if Eddie had stoped being a neurodivergent abused kid for a second and just chilled he would have been fine and never became a muderer. It's a life lession. Abused kids should just stop being anxious over the very real possibility of more abuse and neurodivergent people should just chill and everything will be fine. Doing nothing except blaming the crying desperated child for asking help is the right move!

Also Batman should kill. That's just a fact. Jason Tood has been saying it for years now and he is right. All heros should kill actually. Every comic should be exactaly like a Punisher run writen by an alt-right. Yes even the non-superhero ones. Yes even the manga. Yes even Donald Duck ones.

I could write pages and pages about how this is the perfect comic - bar the art style - but I think this is already a suficient apology for my previous misleading critics.

My next post will be a long explanation of why Batgirl vs Riddler: Prelude to the Wedding is actualy the best feminist comic ever written and Tim Seeley is actualy the only person allowed to represent woman in media ever.

I've always looked forward to April fools Day, just because it's a day where everyone's a little sillier than usual but I gotta say this year a lot of it fell flat?

Maybe it's just me but with a few exceptions all I saw was huge quantities of fake articles and after the last few years of absurd things being very real, I didn't know which were real and which weren't? "Torchwood reboot and Doctor who spin-off about the master" THATS NOT UNPLAUSIBLE! In a world of reboots and remakes and cancelled shows why would I not believe Misha Collins when he complains that Supernatural is getting rebooted next year without him?! I spent a solid five minutes rereading the "article" before deciding the writing style was too unprofessional to be real!

I already spend half my free time trying to fact check the info I see, if there's no dramatic "aHA you nearly had me!" moment by the end, it's not a funny. It's just boring everyday misinformation and we had a net worse day because of it.

In France, the traditional prank for April 1st is to hang a fish to someone's back. In recent years, those fishes became paper cutouts, but the tradition remains, you stick a (paper) fish to someone's back, and when discovered, shout "Poisson d'avril!" (April's fish). As it is not jumpscary, I decided to carry on with this tradition, once again.

Now you might wonder why I picked a poster. Well that's because in French, a poster is called "affiche", and that's close enough to "a fish" for my purposes.

That's right, you didn't just get fished. You got pun fished.

Poisson d'avril ;p
