NYX #6 Review

*Spoilers!*

Kiddddeeeennn !!!

The issue starts with Kiden dancing in the rain while going to a “Dazzler concert”…(the scene is really GORGEOUS here!!)

Kiden is soliloquizing about people being a trap… (this is what being friends with Laura DOES to YOU lol)

Kamala is basically me at a concert… that was basically how I was when I recently went through security for Charli’s Sweat Tour…😬😂🤣 (I WISH I could be Anole 🤣🤣🤣🤣)

Does Sophie still have her powers when she says “Cuckoo”? (Idk, this plot point admittedly doesn’t make much sense to me…)

While walking through the venue (they should really be getting into the merch shop line-amateurs…), Kamala is worried she’s not taking the “no contact” with her sisters well…and apparently becoming addicted to video games…

Anole is basically eye-fucking everyone at the venue (GET IT VICTOR 🤣🤣!)

We get a sleight of hand from the writers- it’s NOT actually Kiden, but LOCAL, that Laura smells and is kind of fixating on! (sorry Kiden…you’re too good for Laura anyway!)

Local then shows up to basically hit on Laura/tell her to “stay out of his way”. (Playing hard to get- copied from the Hellion Playbook!)

The team FINALLY remembers the Mojo plot exists. (I get it… Hellion was WAY MORE exciting…)

Prodigy has of course the RIGHT reaction (“Oh Fuck” indeed!)…

Dante is promptly dent to the merch line while they deal with the baddie (finally- it’s 100% going to sell out of all the good items guys!) and Dante offers Sophie to come with and be in the “normie group”…she promptly declines…

Kiden narrates how Mojo has basically been taking homeless mutants and how she didn’t trust Mr. Friendly (and apparently DOES kind of think Laura is a shit friend too!)

The team springs into action while Sophie feels awkward on her secondary team with Anole (sorry Sophie!), while Local brakes into the sound booth.

Prodigy calls out Local and Co.’s evil plan to insert a subliminal message into the music to use Dazzlers fame to essentially get followers (so…TikTok?😂🤣)

Local argues that it’s the same as what they did at the protest (let’s not rehash that last issue, Local…) and that Mr. Friendly is the only one helping homeless mutants (which is TRUE- even BEFORE this event Xavier and Co. We’re terrible at helping the Morlocks…)

Laura talks sense into Local and Local admits to Laura that if he goes back Mojo, he will kill him…but sadly Mojo has already taken over Local’s body… (🥺)

Mojo works the crowd like a BOSS…while lamenting how generic this evil villain plot is (not your BEST work admittedly, Mojo)…

Kiden busts onto the scene to save the day and beats everyone (GO KIDEN!!) and decides to catch up with Laura…while they just…let Local escap? (But the CONCERT guys!!….Seriously though…I get it…I would probably turn the other cheek if I had TS tixs too lol)

Laura totally up and leaves with Kiden without saying goodbye to the rest of the group (AKA probably hooking up with Kiden😘😘!)

Back to the Local subplot…we see Mojo has apparently adopted parasocialism… (but has he read Mark Fischer???)

Review:

This issue was good- fun. Don’t have a lot of complaints.

I didn’t really LOVE the art- some panels, like the rain were gorgeous…some were a letdown…

Dante is still just kind of awkwardly there…but Anole is slightly better in this issue.

My biggest gripe is how NICE Kiden was to Laura and basically letting her AGAIN back into the fold despite Laura being a shitty friend (I felt similarly irritated with Jubes in X-terminators barely saying anything to Laura basically ignoring her for months) …but I feel like that’s potentially COMING in the NEXT ISSUE!

Theories:

Kiden is working for SOMEBODY… either the new Quiet Council or Mojo…and Laura just got kidnapped…

Her POV sounded way too bitter and Laura randomly disappearing, sounds like we are finally going to see someone TURN on LAURA…

I was kind of wondering if Lil Bro, Tatiana, or any of the others in the group are being held/controlled by Mojo…

It would 100% be HILARIOUS if Kiden, Synch, AND Hellions formed a group of basically “Laura’s EVIL EX’s” 😂🤣😈

[blog-moved-lol]

Jason Todd Canon Lore Stuff:

@jashjdh Ask and you shall receive! :D this is sort of part 2 to this post of mine, where I did the same thing for Dick Grayson. Here, since there are so many comics and so much conflicting lore, I read the fandom . com entry for the character and then type out the most important bits of what I learned, both to help myself remember it, and to teach others ^w^

!TW for Batman-like things, such as spoilers, mentions of injury and death, a brief mentions of drug use, a brief mention of sewerslide and r(😬)e, etc)!

•To begin with, a lot of people argue "Jason is the angry Robin!" Or, "Jason ISN'T the angry Robin!" I think for the most part, this misunderstanding happens because originally, Jason was a very calm kid. In his original appearances he had a similar backstory to Dick Grayson(Being an acrobat in the circus) and was much more chill, however in the post-crisis revamp, he became more violent and troubled. In the words of the wiki, "the post-Crisis Jason is impulsive, reckless, and full of rage."

•Jason lived a troubled childhood, with his father being a petty crook. His dad at one point served a jail sentence for his crimes, but even once he got out of jail, he never came back to the family. This left Jason alone, taking care of his drug-addicted mother. He would rip and remove the parts from cars around the city, selling them for cash to make sure they were fed and clothed. His mother eventually died from an overdose so he took to the streets, continuing to take apart cars for cash.

•One night he came upon the Batmobile parked in an alleyway. Batman had just replaced the tires, but had not yet put on his new custom hubcaps. Jason took this opportunity to snag the tires, and managed to get one and out of there before he came back for a second tire. This is when Batman caught him, hence the iconic interaction of him throwing his tire iron at Bruce and calling him a 'big boob' as he ran away.

•Batman tried putting Jason in a boarding school for troubled kids, however this didn't work out either because the owner of the school was actually running a program to train young criminals. When Batman busted the criminal operation, he decided that perhaps Jason's anger could be used for crime fighting, so he took him in because he was worried that if he didn't, Jason would become a criminal. While Jason wasn't an acrobat like Dick, he was strong, and had lots of skills from his time on the streets.

•On their first official mission together, though, it was revealed that Two-Face had killed Jason's father. Despite the fact that Jason's father had abandoned him, he was still enraged by this and he went on a rampage. However, he showed restraint when he allowed Two-Face to be arrested instead of killing him, which made Bruce very proud.

•As much as Jason was a good, enthusiastic student, he was also a very troubled one. His time on the streets had raised him with a tilted sense of morals, and with the tendency to lash out and get violent when threatened because of his street survival instincts. Because of this, Jason often had the opposite ideals and morals to his mentor. He tended to use excessive force when trying to stop criminals, such as how in one adventure he was asked to 'hold off' some villains, and he immediately shot at them despite Bruce's dislike of using guns.

•The most notable of these times was on the case of Felipe Garzonasa, a man who had r(😬)ed a woman, an event that led to her sewerslide. Jason tracked this guy down, and moments after Jason arrived, Felipe fell to his death off of his apartment balcony. While it was never confirmed nor denied, it's fairly possible that Jason pushed Garzonasa off, breaking Batman's no kill rule. (We love a man who respects women ✊)

•Bruce was so afraid that Jason was going to possibly kill someone, either intentionally or with his reckless actions, that he called Barbara Gordon and asked her to work a case with Jason, in an attempt to figure him out. They did work together, however Barbara could come up with no real way to help him, and simply warned Bruce that there was 'a darkness in Jason'.

•Jason eventually discovers that his mother was not actually his biological mother, so he runs away from home on a mission to find his real mom. He follows lots of leads, but eventually ends up in Ethiopia, finding his bio mother Sheila, working as an aid worker. He's incredibly happy to be reunited with his real mom, but he soon discovers that Sheila is being blackmailed by the Joker, being forced to supply him with medical treatment. Sheila herself has been embezzling funds from the agency, and to keep from getting caught, she directly hands Jason over to the Joker who brutally beats him with a crowbar and leaves him and Sheila in a warehouse with a bomb. Batman is unable to save them on time, and both of them perish in the explosion. Bruce is obviously devastated (and starts going crazy because of this a bit later on), and the bodies are both buried in Gotham City with the cause of death on Jason's death certificate being labeled 'smoke inhalation'.

•Jason is dead for at least a decade, his memory constantly haunting Bruce as his 'greatest failure', keeping Jason's Robin suit on display in the Batcave. Bruce begins to spiral over the thoughts that he himself had failed to train Jason properly, and that he had also failed to save Jason from the Joker. (Personal opinion, I don't know if I actually blame Bruce for 'Not saving Jason in time'? Because the way the wiki framed it, it made it seem like Jason ran away and didn't tell anyone that he was going to do this, plus I don't know how Bruce would've known that the Joker was blackmailing Sheila to begin with? Idk, maybe I'm missing some context here)

•Many years later, while Bruce is fighting with Hush, Tim gets kidnapped. When he confront the kidnapped it ends up being 'Jason', but it turns out that this version of Jason isn't Jason at all, and is just Clayface pretending to be Jason.

•Superboy-Prime, trapped in the Paradise Dimension, alters reality. This shift results in Jason's revival, as he's once again given life. He breaks his way out of his own coffin with his bare hands, and drags himself 12 miles before eventually collapsing (since he still has many lasting injuries from the Joker's beating). He's found at some point and hospitalized, where he stays in a coma for a full year, and even when he awakens he has amnesia. At some point he's recognized by a petty criminal, who informs Talia. Talia brings him to the Lazarus Pit, where she immerses him in the water where her father Ra's is also bathing. This restores Jason's memories and his physical health, however it's implied that the Pit's energy + Ah-Gul's energy messed with his mind and personality (Though it's always possible that these changes really just came from his trauma)

•Jason Todd takes up the mantle of Red Hood, and returns to Gotham City.

•Jason goes to find the Joker (who had been run out of town by Hush), and gives him a beating with a crowbar just as the Joker did to him, though he keeps the Joker alive to use him against Batman later on. He also assumes the control of several gangs, and starts a mini war against the Black Mask criminal empire. His general plan is to clean up the cities violence and drug dealings(probably because he doesn't want anyone to end up like his non-bio mother), as well as kill the Joker for revenge. Because of his intense and violent methods, he has many brushes with Batman. It's around this time that Bruce finds a Robin mask in the Batmobile, one that never belonged to Dick or Tim, but looked like a mask in the style of Jason's old Robin costume. He also realized at this time that Jason's coffin is empty, and that's when he starts to believe that Jason may have genuinely come back from the dead.

•Jason, hearing that Tim had replaced him and was supposedly a 'better Robin' then him, he got angry and broke into the Titan tower to confront him. Wearing a newer version of his own Robin costume, Jason makes quick work of immobilizing the other Titans. He was absolutely furious that there was no memorial for him in the Hall of Fallen Titans (Despite the fact that he was only a Titan for a very short time), Jason demands Tim tell him if he was really as good of a Robin as Jason himself was, and Tim stubbornly says 'Yes' before he passes out. As Jason is leaving the tower, he rips the 'R' logo from Tim's costume. However, it's revealed in the epilogue of that comic that Jason actually holds some respect for Tim now, begrudgingly saying an "I'll admit. He's good." As he ponders how he could've been a better Robin had he acted more like Tim.

•At some point Jason kidnaps the Joker and uses him to lure Bruce to Crime Alley, where they had first met all those years ago. Jason is of course angry that Bruce never 'properly avenged' him by killing the Joker, since Jason believed that Bruce would because the Joker had "Taken me away from you". Bruce explains that it would've been easy for him to kill the Joker, that he continuously fantasized about taking the Joker away, torturing him and eventually killing him, but that he wasn't willing to cross that line (Partially because he wasn't willing to stain the memories he had of Jason [that he clung so tightly to while losing his sanity] with blood). Jason decides on a deal. Either Bruce kills him, or he will kill the Joker. So he holds one gun to the Joker's head and gives the other to Bruce, counting to three. However Bruce, obviously not wanting to kill Jason but also not wanting Jason to commit this crime, uses a Batarang to cut down an object that ends up slicing Jason's throat. The Joker uses this time to detonate some explosives and plunge both of them into the waters. (I don't even know what to say about this part, I have a lot of opinions here. I will say though, I think that if Tim hadn't become Robin, Bruce might've legitimately killed the Joker.)

•Jason shows up again after about a year, now as an evil version of Nightwing. Jason uses this costume to taunt Dick, suggesting the two become a crime fighting team, but Dick refuses because he doesn't want to be associated with Jason's violent methods. Not long after, Jason is kidnapped by unknown mobsters. Dick, albeit hesitantly, saves him, and they team up to defeat the Pierce brothers. After the fight Jason leaves New York and drops the Nightwing mantle, leaving Dick a telegraph that says he has returned to normal, and that he still considers Dick family.

•Jason's kidnaps a girl named Mia, wanting to convert her to his side since they both had somewhat similar pasts and he feels they're kindred spirits. She refuses, so he blows up her high school. (WTF JASON???? 😭)

•I dunno how to explain this one too much, but basically he went on a mission with a Monitor that he called Bob? And he met an alternate reality version of Batman, who had started killing after Jason's death.. And then the Darkseid thing happens and Batman 'dies', which makes Jason absolutely furious (Because he cares about Bruce despite not agreeing with the way that he handled things back when he died).

•Jason, back as Red Hood, tries to take control of some gang wars to calm things down, but it actually makes things worse. Since Batman is supposed to be dead, and Nightwing is unavailable, Tim is the one who has to help clean up the mess. Jason asks to team up, but Tim refuses because of Jason's questionable methods. Due to a combination of some things, Jason gets shot in the leg and arrested. When the gang war is resolved, Tim stops by the prison Jason was in, using a disguise and a fake name to deliver Jason the code that will let him out of his cell because he believes Jason deserves a chance at redemption.

•After his escape Jason is summoned to the Batcave, where he is brought in to hear his part of Bruce's Last Will and Testament for him(Y'know, since Bruce is supposedly dead lmao). He listens to Bruce's final piece as he talks about out of all his failures, Jason was his biggest, and how he regretted not getting Jason actual help or showing much empathy over him hardships, instead dressing him up and having him fight. Unfortunately this heartfelt message is what makes Jason fully snap.

•Jason began dressing up in a Batman-like outfit, leaving slips of paper saying 'I AM BATMAN' where he worked, however he used much more aggressive and lethal forms of punishment on the criminals he fought. Due to the violent nature of his vigilantism, Nightwing and Damian are after the fake Batman. Dick figures put pretty quickly that the imposter Batman is Jason, and after an argument, Jason shoots Damian. Tim is also searching for the fake Batman at this time, dressing up as Batman as well to demonstrate how Bruce would've really acted. Tim finds Jason's fake Batcave, but has to be saved from a boobytrap by Catwoman. Jason returns to his 'cave' and finds them there, impaling Tim with a Batarang. Dick and Jason fight, with Jason thinking and claiming that Tim is dead, while Damian and the Squire are actually busy saving Tim. Dick kicks Jason off a moving train, but when he tries to pull Jason back up to safety(Because he still considers him family, just as Jason does him), Jason refuses his help and falls to his 'death', while claiming they'll meet again soon. This is when Dick becomes Batman.

•When Jason returned, having survived the fall, he decided to become direct competition to Batman and Robin, making it his mission to get to all of the criminals before them and become the new Gotham Hero. He even got his own sidekick, a girl named Scarlet. Jason was very public about this, posting things on social media, talking about how killing the villains was the best way to do it, and a lot of people actually agreed. At one point Jason kidnapped Dick and Damian, locked them up and stripped them both naked(😰), claiming online that if the post got enough attention, he'd reveal Batman and Robin's secret identities. However his plan was interrupted by an assassin names Flamingo, that he and Scarlet weren't strong enough to beat. Dick and Damian escaped and saved them from death, though Damian got pretty seriously injured.. Jason just ran Flamingo over with a truck- Jason was taken into police custody and as they took him away, he claimed that if the Lazarus Pit could revive him, why couldn't it revive Bruce too?

•After Bruce's revival, Jason files an appeal to Arkham Asylum, wanting to be released because the tests show that he's perfectly sane, just willing to kill. He ends up being transferred to a Gotham prison, where as soon as he arrives, the sewerslide rates spike and there are several homicides(Though these mainly occurred in self defense from Red Hood killing people in the prison who attempt to kill him first). On top of this, Jason poisons the food and kills 82 inmates, making 100 more sick. He's immediately taken back to Arkham Asylum, but is quickly broken out by some mercenaries. Jason breaks free from the mercenaries and fights them off as Batman and Robin arrive. At the end of this mission, Red Hood and Scarlet escape in a helicopter, warning Bruce and Damian not to chase them because he planted bombs all over the city months ago, and he's willing to detonate them. Dick doesn't do anything about, deciding that Jason was lying about the bombs, and that even if Jason decides to do better he'll only rejoin the family when he's ready to.

•Jason, trying to reform, forms his own hero team called the Outlaws. He changes the red symbol on his chest to a bat, a sign of his somewhat awkward but slowly-beginning-to get-back-on even-ground relationship with the Batfamily. The costume he now wears also used to belong to Dick. His relationship with Tim is now at least neutral, if not a little friendly, as the two can be seen eating together and making some jokes. However his relationship with Bruce is still strained, and a bit hostile. While he keeps his aggressive and lethal style of fighting, he now only uses it when he believes necessary, and doesn't always shoot the second he sees a problem.

•At some point his team disappears, and he goes back to being a solo hero.

Extra Fun Fact! Because of the Lazarus Pit, Jason no longer ages and he heals much much faster then a normal human!

TAADAA! I might do more if I get the motivation ^w^

[luffyvace]

I have a question that’s been stuck in my head for a while? OK, so remember the episode of MHA where Kurogiri warps stain to the bar to meet Shigaraki so they can convince him to join the LOV and then stain stabs Shigaraki?

So imagine, what if Spinner, Dabi and Toga (separately) meet Stain BUT…… stain injures Reader (instead of Shigaraki) how would they feel if the hero killer hurt, they are beloved S/O?think about it??

Ohh yeaaa I remember that episode!

Ooooo yeah that’ll definitely set the mood for some killing dear- 😃 very intriguing question/request! Thank you! <3 :)

(gn reader since you didn’t mention pronouns or gender)

Spinner

⚠️(i think) spoilers at the end of spinner’s I can’t remember if it’s animated or not 😵‍💫💫

The Gif is literally Spinner to stain-

literally nobody liked him before he joined the lov

as we saw in the flash back (I think it’s animated) he was a nobody sitting on his couch watching tv

he joined the lov and now has people that respect him, he started dating you?!

quite frankly the best thing that has ever happened in his life.

no joke this man would do anything for you

He will probably never see what you see in him because of people in his ear from his upbringing but he hopes you continue to see that forever cuzzzz he’s not tryna let you go anytime soon 😋💗

so when you got stabbed by stain? This man was the exact opposite of calm.

What do you mean you just stabbed the only person who loves him?!

this is actually such an interesting request because spinner admires stain!

this dude’s villain costume is a target version of his! (😭)

Yeah he definitely no longer looks up to him. 😐

infact he might find himself hating him 😗

that’s how serious it is!

he panics for a second then pulls out his katanas to defend you in case he comes back for more

he would chase him down, if you weren’t wounded

he instead sheathes his blades and asks toga to wrap you up (until he can get you to the hospital if it’s fatal)

he’s on the verge of tears and is shaking because he could’ve lost you!

there’s no way he could ever let that happen!

Is heavily disappointed in himself that he couldn’t react faster to protect you and ‘realizes’ how much of a weakling he is

vows to protect you even if it costs him his life

of course he was always willing to, but now nothing. and I mean nothing. is ever gonna hurt you again

will track down stain to talk to him and tell him that wasn’t cool (and he doesn’t necessarily curse him out but rest assured he didn’t use the words I did)

⚠️(uh spoilers I think) after he gains the army of mutation quirk citizens he feels much more confident in his abilities to protect you

you should too! His army cares about you nearly as much as he does! They view him as they’re leader and savior after all~

not to mention he for sure changes his villain costume to something else

He asks you to help decide the design and now he looks much more epicc 😎💪

Dabi (Touya Todoroki)

Dabi is instantly heated abt it

like y’all invited him in here and he STABS his you??!

his lover?!

I don’t think so..😐

bro not finna let that slide🗿

he’s aboutta incinerate everyone and himself (again 😂-) trying to kill him

in all seriousness in a situation where someone he cares about gets hurt he does beat whoever hurt you before helping-

just because he’s angry

BROS SEEING RED- 😭🗿🤡

he does come check up on you after though

Besides he knows the lov will bandage you up

either Toga will do it (but she’ll take some of your blood) or they’ll take you to that hideous doctor dude that works for afo

If it’s a fatal wound he checks up on you a lot and subtly asks if you need anything

he’s not some softy, imma be honest, but he obviously does care

no matter what, he now wants to track down stain and reduce him to nothing but ashes

it doesn’t matter who says what. he’ll never forgive him.

and trust me when I say he’s the type of guy who could hold a grudge forever 😬

will tell you to sit out the next mission if your injury isn’t all the way healed by then

he commits arson to try and ease his anger a bit but after all he’s been through, hurting the only person he loves is the final straw.

he’s noticeable more irritated for a while and will try and kill stain on sight

the hero killer has been spotted in the prefecture? He bouta pull up. Bro is over in the mountains? That crazy cuz Dabi is too 🤷‍♀️

Toga Himiko

Would be the angriest if Dabi wasn’t more hot headed (get it? Don’t get mad I had to) and if she didn’t like stain too- 😭

the fact that she loves to see you stabbed also comes into play-

But she’s upset she wasn’t the one to make you bleed

although this is all after she bandages you up

if the wound isn’t fatal she’ll probably unwrap you daily to admire you in all your glory 💉🩸😊

She tries to get payback by stabbing stain so it’s even but it just becomes a game of cat and mouse

meaning they’re both too swift and agile to get hit by the other

In the heat of the moment her first reaction is excitement that quickly turns to anger

as i said she’s happy to see your beautiful rose red blood but she didn’t get to inflict it ✋😤

Def woulda followed stain out the door to track him down if it weren’t for 1. Your wound and 2. Twice & magne stopping her

will lick the blood she cleaned

not fresh off the wound, but off the materials she used to clean you up

she knows it could give you an infection directly

and this is of course after your fine and dandy

she 100% tried to get as much blood into a container or syringe as possible

even if there isn’t a lot

If you have a quirk in particular

bonus if it’s a strong one

You two could pair up now!! Aren’t you happy? 🤗

if you are NOT happy and is upset with her for it, (I’m sure your not- your probably used to it in a relationship with her) she’ll gives you cuddles as an apology <33

[Book One of..]

Story: 5 out of 5 Smut: 2 out of 5

I honestly wanted this book so bad because everyone recommended it as a Peter Pan retelling. Imagine my surprise, however, when I read the author’s note, and she states it’s NOT a retelling. But I still read it because I wanted to read a story from the villain’s pov and oh my god am I glad I read it. I am in love with James/Hook and I don’t care that he’s a bad guy.

Wendy, daughter of Peter, starts off as the naive girl that Hook is looking to take advantage of because of what Peter has done to him in the past. But as her rose tinted glasses come off, she becomes the young woman who you will come to adore and root for. And James… well you’ll be up and down with his character. I knew he was the bad guy going in, but I wanted to throttle him at one point.

I guess you can say this is a reimagining of the Peter Pan characters in a modern world, but instead of rooting for Peter Pan, Wendy, and Tink… you’ll be begging Hook for a taste of the dark side.

I am stoked to see what else Emily has written for this series!

* So we start off with a murder. Nice. Seems James’s uncle deserved it.

* Oh shit. James saw Wendy through video feed and immediately wants to defile her. But it’s Wendy’s friend who is hoping for his attention 😬

* Ohhhh. He got her to to agree to a date 😏

* So that’s why he doesn’t like the ticking sound. Damn.

* Oh shit. James walked up to Wendy and Maria is PISSED.

* Lol Maria is such a bitch.

* Score. He secured the date.

* Goddamn. James has got a mouth on him.

* The way he has her grind on his lap… holy shit.

* I somewhat knew what I was getting into, but damn… I’m gonna be heartbroken when Wendy finds out James is using her.

* Wendy’s dad is a dick and Tina Belle a bitch. I can’t wait until James gets his hand on them.

* Lol Moira tried to make Wendy jealous and James wasn’t having it 😂

* Oh shit. Wendy gave him her virginity. There’s gonna be a lot of crying later, isn’t there?

* So the dad doesn’t care for his son and James has noticed that Jon (the brother) looks nothing like Wendy. Could he be the product of an affair?

* Why do I have a feeling something is gonna happen to Ru?

* Uh oh, James. You going soft for Wendy and her brother Jon.

* I fucking knew something was going to happen to Ru 😩 and now James thinks Wendy had a hand in it. Fuck! I can’t wait for him to murder her dad Michael. To murder Pan.

* Holy shit. Did he just kidnap her?! He has it all wrong!

* I can’t wait to see when he realizes he royally fucked up.

* Starkey, you’re a little traitorous motherfucker, aren’t you? I know it was you who was supposed to have Ru’s back. You’re too nervous.

* “Just remember, that whenever things feel bleak, all situations are temporary. It’s not your circumstance that determines your worth, it’s how you rise from the ashes after everything burns.”

* “Every good bitch needs a pretty collar.” — oh my god. I can’t wait for her to bitch slap you 😂

* FINALLY! She had no idea, you dumb shit. Now prepare to beg for forgiveness.

* Wow. Her dad was really gonna let her die. Fuck him.

* Shit. Peter burned down James’s club.

* Damn. James burned all Peter’s planes 😂

* wtf was that with Moira? And how the fuck did Wendy disappear?! I don’t trust Smee 🤔

* Oh so Smee just assumed she left when really she was just sitting on the dock. But still, James is pissed 😬

* She caved way too fast once his fingers got in her. Get it together, Wendy!

* Croc? As in his uncle? wtf! And of course there’s an explosion just as the woman’s name is about to be given.

* Fuck! Starkey is a traitor! It wasn’t an explosion. Starkey shot their hostage right before he spilled the beans. He’s protecting his boss!

* Damn. Wendy’s that good of a fuck that James is in love, huh 😂 Well.. I’m kind of glad she decided to stay. I don’t trust anyone else to have her back like James does.

* “For the record, I would give you the world. You simply have to ask. You want kids? Done. You want to stay here and never work again? Done. You want to watch the world burn?” // “Let me guess, you’ll set it on fire?” // “No, darling. I’ll hand you the match and stand at your back, watching you become Queen of the ashes.”

* Moira is a traitor?! I knew the bitch was sleezy, but this is… wow. I can’t wait for James to kill her.

* Fuck you, Tina! Ugh. These women are pissing me off 😂

* I fucking called it. Smee! You asshole. And cousins? Why are you being such a little bitch.

* So Peter saved James? And James has a brother?! wtf. Tina better fucking get some punishment for flipping out on Wendy.

* Oh shit. It’s Jon! And seriously, fucking Tina. Someone bitch slap her!

* THANK YOU!!

* Aww. They got their happily ever after 🥹

To represent something is to show how you convey its importance to others. Marinette and Max represented their school for a video game tournament (“Gamer”), Scarabella represented Ladybug when she temporarily took her place (“Hack-San”) and Adrien represented the celebration for the 💯th collection of his fathers brand (“Ephemeral”). Also, for the whole show in general, the dynamic duo represent the hope and light for Paris. That’s how it is, to stand in for something and take this seriously. Whaddigya you expect? They put on a show!?😳Oh wait, that is what they did. You guys wanna see that? Here it is:

*Representation-Oh happy day! It’s the End-of-the-Year party for Françoise Dupont like it was foreshadowed! Everyone is singing, dancing, laughing and just havin’ a ball! Why wouldn’t they!? The biggest b*tch in Paris is gone! (though there’s sympathy for her), a beloved teacher might have a chance at being the new mayor and the dynamic duo have leveled up to use their powers limitlessly! Boo-yeah! Who would be upset about this joyous occasion!?

Oh! Right, Marinette Dupain-Cheng. (hisses through grind teeth😬) I didn’t mention this, buuuut you see, after the de-evilizing of Chloe, Gabe and Tomoe took their kids with ‘em to London like how it was also foreshadowed. Those aristocratic a**holes are still trying to present Adrigami as a ship when at this point it’s a “ghost ship”! It was heartbreaking for Adrienette to face and what lead to our long waited (and so long overdo😒) BIG F*CKING KISS! Now they are separated and there’s nothing they can do😔. F*CK THAT! Adrien decides to go back to Paris, as Astrocat, and finally tell Marinette he’s Cat Noir! Say! Is that him over there!? Marinette! Run after him!

Oh f*ck! No, it’s not him. That’s just Felix. Ugh! The ol’ switcheroo again! :P. What does he want now!? Wait! Kagami is there too!? WTF is all this about!? Guess we’ll find out in “story time!?” Uhhh, okay:

Once upon a time (and I don’t mean the sentibeing), in the far away land of England, there was a “king and queen” who were expecting a child. To their surprise, “the queen” gave birth to “identical princesses”. The “eldest princess” was carefree and loved being out-and-about, the “youngest princess” was submissive and sheltered. When the “eldest princess” came of age, her parents sent her out into the world to experience life and in the city of love, she fell in love with a “humble tailor”. The “king and queen” weren’t accepting of their daughter’s decision to marry a commoner, so the “eldest princess” cut ties with them, gave up her birthright and settled comfortably with the “humble tailor”. The “youngest princess”, not wanting to disappoint her parents, allowed them to put her through an arranged marriage with a cruel “lord of war”. However, with both “identical princesses” married, they-

(record scratch)

I would like to interrupt this presentation for a very quick intermission here. You see, while this whole drama club thing was goin’ on, we have an akumatized villain out on the loose. Gabe and Tomoe found out their kids ran away, so Gabe/Monarch became the Nightormentor (yeah, he akumatized himself again). A villain, with the Horse Miraculous Power, who can induce nightmares onto people. His second akumatized form and it’s basically a “glow-in-the-dark” version of the Collector! Lame! :P. I loved the Collector best! My Season 2 fav and I prefer that over this unoriginal glow stick look! Bleh!🤮Cat had to deal with him alone and continuously called him out on what a horrible, despicable, vile, no-good, rotten f*cking father he was! You go Kitty!👏👏👏

We now return to our regularly scheduled “backyard production” (Ahem)

╔═*.·:·.✧ ✦✧.·:·.*═╗

However, with both “identical princesses” married, they realized they were both baron and thus could not produce heirs. Desperate for a family, the “eldest princess” and the “humble tailor” returned to her parents seeking remedies for fertility just as her sister was getting. Alas, there were still no results. Then “a miracle” happened. The “eldest princess” was expecting. The “lord of war” was jealous of their soon-to-be family and demanded from the “humble tailor” on how they did it. The “eldest princess” felt sorry for her sister and allowed her husband to give the “lord of war” the secret to their success, in exchange for his best “knight” for their son. It was through “the amulet” that it happened. Though skeptical, the “lord of war” accepted. As it was, the “youngest princess” was expecting a child, but w/ the magic of “the amulet” damaged, the “lord of war” fell ill and blamed it on his son, “the child”, whom he called a “monster” and destroyed everything “the child” loved. “The child” didn’t understand why his father hated him or why he obeyed his every command no matter how unfair. It wasn’t until the “lord of wars” passing that “the child” realized it was his fathers “ring” that controlled him and took it from him finally setting “the child” free. “The child” then set out to get “the amulet” from the “humble tailor”, who now became a “powerful prince”, and make sure all lives that came from “the amulet” would be secure and not in the wrong hands. The rest is ancient history *cough*ShadowMoth’sFinalAttackPart2:StrikeBack*cough*

The End(?)

╚═*.·:·.✧✦✧.·:·.*═╝

….Okay, sooooooo let’s give a hand to Feligami for their (distracting Marinette/Ladybug from her heroic duties and time) representation of The Graham de Vanily Sisters? (confused applause). So now we know more about why Felix did what he had to do. Though it was anti-villainous, his intentions were for the good of him and his cousin, Adrien. There was still no apology for what Felix did giving Monarch immense power, but we’re to assume he realized his actions proved extremely consequential and thus through this presentation he apologized for it? I guess if Marinette is willing to forgive him and now understands his backstory, it’s cool that we do too? I guess? (shrugs). Hell! She didn’t even mind when she found out Kagami told Felix who she was! Somebody grab a pen cuz we’re adding Felix to the book of “Who Knows Ladybugs Identity” now. (whispers) Kagami knew from all the way back in “Perfection”. Clever as our heroine can be, she’s no match for child prodigy couple Feligami. Interesting, just from that ep Kagami found out and got akumatized, along with the other time (“Protection”), she kept her cool and Monarch never sensed she knew Ladybugs identity! Probably cuz she knew if she resisted he’d find out like how Luka almost got busted for (“Migration”). Damn! She is a genius! As nice as that gesture was, it sadly kept Marinette/Ladybug from battling/noticing Nightormentor and leaving it to Cat Noir (and the Resistance) to fight him. Despite the copyrighted look, Nightormentor was a literal nightmare when he affected not only our sappho couple, Julerose, but Cat as well with his worst nightmare! Think “Cat Blanc” only 10xs worse! It was through this that Adrien couldn’t tell Marinette his secret identity and went back to London. Adrienette and Feligami are still left separated with Feligami only hoping Ladybug can save everything. Next ones the Season 5 finale and it’s the bad guys Operation Perfect Alliance! Don! Don! Don! I’m spoiled, but you’ll hear my thoughts eventually.

ARC Review of Fair Rosaline by Natasha Solomons

Summary:

This is a twist on Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet from Rosaline's point of view. Rosaline Capulet is on the precipice of being sent away to a nunnery for good, so she decides to take life by the reins while she can. In doing so, she meets Romeo and has a brief affair with him. But when Romeo's true colors are revealed and he turns his wandering eye on her cousin Juliet, Rosaline has no choice but to stop him.

Review:

So all the sex that takes place in this book is when Rosaline is under the age of 18— I thought this was worth putting out there right off the bat. This is also not a historical romance; it's closer to historical fiction, and really well-written historical fiction at that. The descriptions are lush and lyrical, and you really get a fuller sense of the Verona Shakespeare might have imagined (he was very taken with Italy as a setting, but never visited, according to Natasha's author's note).

I loved the characterization of Rosaline. Rosaline's mother has just died, and she's faced with being sent to a nunnery rather than being married off. For a relatively outspoken and forthright teenager (she's fifteen? or sixteen?), it's a difficult situation to accept, so her decision to take these twelve days before she's sent away and throw caution to the wind totally makes sense. I also really liked her relationship with Juliet as well as Tybalt. Natasha humanized both of them, and even if Rosaline/Tybalt as a concept was a little jarring to read, I was on their side.

What was a little more difficult to read was Romeo's characterization: He is written as a sexual predator. Like sure, he's smooth and charming in a way I never quite got into in Shakespeare's original work, but it did come across here (at first at least), but you read the way he behaves with Rosaline and it's textbook predatory behavior: the love bombing, the manipulations, plying her with alcohol before sex, "forbidding" her from seeing family, promising he'll marry her, etc.. I was shocked when Rosaline described him up close as having a few grey hairs, and I was like, how old is this man??

Romeo's sins don't end there either. His trifling with girls is actually a part of a wider, more horrific conspiracy. And Friar Laurence is involved 😬. By the end of the story, a lot of the events are carried out similarly to the original text, with Rosaline watching it all go down, but she's no longer a passive observer.

Overall:

I read Romeo and Juliet in 9th grade and didn't think much of it, but reading Fair Rosaline actually made me revise my stance on a lot of the actions characters in the book took. Now, I'm more inclined to give them some grace because they were teenagers. That too, teenagers facing some very grown-up decisions. Remember, Juliet was going to be betrothed to Count Paris, a much older man, in the original text. No wonder she took the leap with Romeo! Similarly in this book, Rosaline had just lost her mother, and was likely going to be sent to a nunnery for the rest of her life by her father. It actually makes sense she'd meet and sleep with a guy she just met because again, teenagers.

All that being said, it was.... definitely a Choice for Natasha to write Romeo a) as old as he was (we don't know how old he is in the original but he's definitely on the older end of the spectrum here) and b) turn a character that seems fuckboy-ish at worst in the original play into an absolute monster, one who knows exactly what he's doing. It's an interesting interpretation, because it turns a cautionary tale into one with an outright villain and his victims. I'm reserving my judgement on exactly what this sort of interpretation means in the broader context of Romeo and Juliet adaptations as a whole, but by itself, I can't deny it was a pretty great book.

Thank you to Sourcebooks Landmark and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my review.

The word soccer pisses me off for no reason, lmao. My friend and I established it has to go, I say American football or sometimes futbol, that's what most languages/countries do. But then I see American people calling football not only soccer, but futbol...... pls why. So rugby and American football are a bit different that's why, but it's all so confusing lol. I've noticed recently we've had a few promising players, but they're kinda one trick ponies and don't last long. Mbappe is probably one of the only ones being pretty consistent, but we know he needs to learn a few more things about team work.

It was shitty that people were like SEE PORTUGAL IS FINE WITHOUT RONALDO THEREFORE HE CAN GO, uhmmm okay.

Cricket?! Ajdhahsgajagsga. When it comes to team sports I only like football, I used to be forced to watch volleyball when I was younger. But I love tennis, I like athletics from time to time, swimming and ice skating, ski jumping too. When it comes to playing I used to play football, I occasionally play tennis and... golf

I love that whenever media report Pique is leaving/retiring everyone's like "FINALLY" 😭 in the early days I actually liked him, but he's the villain for sure. Mourinho love him or hate him (I'm both avhahsjabsshahams) him and Ronaldo were unstoppable

Stopppp, hopefully Suarez's kids are fine, but the biting... lowkey iconic ngl. Yes it would be cool if all the top players achieved everything they want, but who knows what's gonna happen, they need good teammates for that to come true

Also, damn Mo can't catch a break, every year the same shit 😭

It's because I have connections in Arsenal 👀 so when I moved to London lots of new faces were there, like Bellerin, Oxlade-Chamberlain etc. Also London is a small city if you know a few people from different industries, they always know someone and their friends know someone from school and it goes on, hahaha. It's not like I'm besties with all of them, but I met lots of celebs. Griezi is good, but the Barca transfer was uncalled for

Wooyoung would step on the pitch and get red just because, even his hair is red rn...

Hold ooooonnnnn so Seulkai reconciled then, we won?!

Atz is collabing with Tbz on 31st, Hwa pls be there <3 Atinys have been fighting over the Hwa thing for the past two days and clearly a lot of KQ stans don't get the point (they're like "none of the members have a lot of relevant schedules" - uhm false "they literally play rock paper scissors and decide who does what" lmao I'm sure that's not always the case, but aight... "kq isn't big enough to score them all the gigs" what even lmao) but tweets like this don't help pls 😭 OP was hyperbolic, but was there a reason to say it like that. Can't have a normal discussion on that fucking app 🔫

I'm envisioning Lego live during Fashion week now 😢

Taemin Jesus confirmed

Lmao okay but real, Hwacore

Ah damn Jackson, but understandable, it's hard to date when you're an idol and a celebrity in general. I'm sure he has lots of volunteers, but... most of them are insane fans 😬 did he say that about the lights? I didn't know kahdiausiabshahaha guy's really bitchless, kinda hard to believe, but hopefully he finds someone soon

This video I fucking can't, so much to unpack lmaooo

Baek he did what... POET HWA?! Can he stop for a goddamned fucking second 😭

Slutshaming?! And your neighbour?

I got Pimm the bat 👁👁 - DV 💖

Cricket?! Ajdhahsgajagsga. When it comes to team sports I only like football, I used to be forced to watch volleyball when I was younger. But I love tennis, I like athletics from time to time, swimming and ice skating, ski jumping too. When it comes to playing I used to play football, I occasionally play tennis and... golf

I love that whenever media report Pique is leaving/retiring everyone's like "FINALLY" 😭 in the early days I actually liked him, but he's the villain for sure. Mourinho love him or hate him (I'm both avhahsjabsshahams) him and Ronaldo were unstoppable

LMFAOOOO 😭😭😭😭 ITS THE WAY EVERYONE COLLECTIVELY COME TOGETHER TO SAY FINALLY 😭😭 no yeah in the early days he was great, i just think as more ppl (messi) started garnering fame it just kinda got to his head and then what he did after messi left 🔫 would 10/10 jump him,,, sEE mourinho brought the beast mentality be it thru toxicity or what, HE MADE IT HAPPEN and it changed rm for the best, despite being a barca fan, his and pep’s era of football was not just peak for their teams, but PEAK/PRIME football itself. the hatred, toxicity, two of the greatest players, insane team value and players…what an era,, EXACTLY HIM AND RONALDO WERE THE BEST MATCH,,, maybe he’ll come back to rm since his kid’s there now?? maybe a chance

Stopppp, hopefully Suarez's kids are fine, but the biting... lowkey iconic ngl. Yes it would be cool if all the top players achieved everything they want, but who knows what's gonna happen, they need good teammates for that to come true //// Also, damn Mo can't catch a break, every year the same shit 😭

HDWNHDWK ITS SO FUNNY BUT SO UNHINGED??? his lids grow older and some fuck just brings up his dad’s biting skills dbdbdb but guy’s a great player that ghana match 😭😭😭 right! good teammates and a good coach, argentina’s latest one was chef kisses, the formation and playing with the players strength 🫡🫡 LMFAOOOO NO BC JFKWHDKW THIS & the fact eid and christmas are gonna be on the same day in the near future 😭😭 which one will he be 😭😭

It's because I have connections in Arsenal 👀 so when I moved to London lots of new faces were there, like Bellerin, Oxlade-Chamberlain etc. Also London is a small city if you know a few people from different industries, they always know someone and their friends know someone from school and it goes on, hahaha. It's not like I'm besties with all of them, but I met lots of celebs. Griezi is good, but the Barca transfer was uncalled for

Wooyoung would step on the pitch and get red just because, even his hair is red rn... //// Hold ooooonnnnn so Seulkai reconciled then, we won?!

Watching “Scooby Doo, Where Are You?” (1969-1970 CBS) + Thoughts

Episode 10: Bedlam in the Big Top

Oh joy, a creepy clown.

Never thought I’d see a strongman and a man with dwarfism ride a tandem bike together.

Animation Blooper: Daphne speaks with Velma’s voice.

Shaggy when the strongman and short guy about to crash into each other (due to someone sabotaging their bike: “Dig that crazy drag race.” ???????

Strongman must’ve hit his head bc when asked where his friend was, he pointed in the opposite direction of where the animators actually put the latter.

Scooby saves the day!

The duo are named Max the Midget and Samson the Strongman.

Wherever weirdness calls, Fred The Scooby Gang will be there!

You all are so dumb sometimes HOW DID YOU NOT NOTICE YOU DROVE OFF WITHOUT YOUR TALKING GREAT DANE?????

I am not 100% sure how hypnosis works in real life, but I am mostly skeptical.

Hypnotized Scooby Doo: is brave and can walk the wire while doing summersaults.

Trampoline shenanigans that honestly should have broken a trampoline that size.

Scooby doo bounces off the trampoline and somehow gets tangled into a bunch of balloons that make him float. “I’m falling up!”

Daphne, not having seen what the ghost clown looked like or having been given any description of him and seeing him walking from afar: “That looks like the Ghost Clown!”

Daphne’s supposed to be a damsel in distress by getting hypnotized by the Ghost Clown, but I’d argue that Fred momentarily took that title by getting yeeted and locked into a wardrobe by said clown first.

Hypnotized Daphne: riding a unicycle (“She can’t even ride a Bicycle!”) into a wire while wearing a ballet dress and tiara. If we choose to believe that she dressed herself in the privacy of a fitting room, this is relatively tame as opposed to what the most-likely male and grown man dressed as a clown could have done to a pretty and female teenager or make her do. *shudders*

Hypnotized Daphne is apparently really strong too as Shaggy, Velma, and Scooby combined aren’t able to catch her, while Shaggy and Scooby are even ran over by her.

Elephants watch hypnotized Daphne ride past them, and don’t even budge as she manages to ride the unicycle on top of them. Elephants have probably seen weirder things than this and aren’t phased anymore. 🐘

Scooby can apparently speak non-anthropomorphic elephant, or the elephant can understand anthropomorphic dog.

Scratch that, there was a translation error on one of their ends 😆 Scooby is able to correct the elephant and get him to spray water on hypnotized Daphne.

Fred: “Here’s the perfect trap.” Me: *sees there are around 8 min left of the episode* 😬

First time Scooby doesn’t need a Scooby Snack to be encouraged to do things: Daphne made a super-duper hero sandwich 🥪 Even Shaggy volunteers to do Scooby’s job if it means he can eat Daphne’s sandwich! (My Shaphne heart: 🥰). They wind up splitting it willingly (for once).

I wonder if the Ghost Clown is the ringmaster the Scooby Gang spoke to in the beginning? As I am thinking about this , the Ghost Clown confronts Shaggy.

Hypnotized Shaggy: Lion Tamer.

My suspicion that the Ghost Clown is a creep increases: Scooby just had a pole for his wire walking; Shaggy gets a hat along with a whip and chair; why was DAPHNE made to change her clothes??

It’s official: Ghost Clown is the show’s second official creep (see episode 6) and first official villain to actively attempt murder.

Day 7 of Fred setting up traps and them not working.

Shaggy decides he and Scooby will turn the tables on the Ghost Clown and get him to accidentally hypnotize himself when he tries to hypnotize them again. It works!

I’m sorry for doubting you Mr. Ringmaster. Culprit turns out to be an ex-circus worker named Harry the Hypnotist. To be fair, he wasn’t named dropped or had a painting that hinted of his importance (see episode 2).

Day 10 of no “And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for you meddling kids!” Only seven more episodes before I finish season 1; will I be able to hear it before the end? Only time will tell.

Fantastic Four Vol 1 #285

Mon Jan 04 2021 [11:07 PM] Bocaj: To finish up 85, (2)85 [11:07 PM] Wack'd: uh

[11:07 PM] Bocaj: Oh thiiiiiis onnnnnne [11:07 PM] Wack'd: UH

[11:07 PM] Bocaj: I have the physical of this issue in one of my mystery boxes [11:09 PM] Wack'd: So our eventual victim is a boy named Tommy Hanson [11:10 PM] Wack'd: He bargains with a bully for a copy of a celebrity magazine with Johnny Storm in it and then gets caught reading it in class and has it thrown out [11:11 PM] Wack'd: "I know it's different for boys. You're not going to marry him, because it's 1985"

[11:11 PM] Bocaj: Oof [11:12 PM] Wack'd: 😬 [11:13 PM] Wack'd: Tommy is a latchkey kid who drowns his sorrows in a Fantastic Four-centric episode of "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" [11:13 PM] Wack'd: Shot before their home got launched into space, presumably [11:13 PM] Bocaj: ha [11:13 PM] Wack'd: On a whim he decides to call the Avengers Mansion and try to speak to Johnny but Jarvis says he's not in [11:14 PM] Wack'd: Which is wild if you stop and think about it for two seconds because it means anybody can just call the Avengers. You would think they would have an answering service or a switchline or something and you'd be very unlikely to actually get an Avenger on the other end [11:14 PM] Bocaj: Nice guy, Jarvis [11:15 PM] KarkatTheDalek: Luke Cage’s Mighty Avengers had a call center! [11:15 PM] KarkatTheDalek: I thought that was a nice touch [11:15 PM] Bocaj: The Avengers also apparently answer fan mail [11:15 PM] Wack'd: But no I guess any time the phone rings it goes directly to the Mansion? Where one of the many superheroes and/or Jarvis has to pick it up? [11:15 PM] Wack'd: They would never have time for anything else [11:15 PM] KarkatTheDalek: I hope someone else does a more community focused Avengers title [11:16 PM] maxwellelvis: Why am I not surprised Luke would handle this issue the way a small business owner would? [11:16 PM] Wack'd: what. no. what?!?

[11:16 PM] Bocaj: oh goood [11:16 PM] Bocaj: thats god drawn out, not good [11:17 PM] maxwellelvis: Is he playing off the whole alleged controversy of why Johnny was off the 70's cartoon? [11:17 PM] Bocaj: That's my going theory. That or the SNL sketch [11:18 PM] maxwellelvis: That'd be even worse. [11:18 PM] maxwellelvis: IIRC the real reason for HERBIE was Johnny was a separate license at that time. [11:18 PM] Wack'd: Yep [11:19 PM] Wack'd: Back with our heroes Reed and Johnny are discussing the building of a new, bigger, better Baxter Building, and also the Beyonder because this is still technically a tie-in [11:19 PM] maxwellelvis: But urban legend of the kid who lit himself on fire grew, probably as Bocaj said, out of the "Johnny Human Torch" SNL sketch [11:19 PM] Wack'd: Enjoy Reed's jaunty little construction hat

[11:20 PM] Bocaj: You're made of rubber reed but always setting a good example or at least this once you are [11:20 PM] maxwellelvis: Is he elasticing his chin to look more square-jawed? [11:22 PM] Wack'd: *stammers incoherently*

[11:22 PM] Bocaj: Jesus [11:22 PM] KarkatTheDalek: John “Burning Kids” Byrne [11:23 PM] Wack'd: Johnny's ultimate low point: hailing a cab

[11:23 PM] maxwellelvis: what am i supposed to say to that? [11:24 PM] Wack'd: Meanwhile Sue, Alicia, and Jen admire a new Jen statue. Jen laments she can no longer transform so she can't get a statue of her human form. So I guess we missed that [11:24 PM] Wack'd: I would circle back to it but I think we all know there's maybe like three panels worth reading [11:25 PM] maxwellelvis: That's in the She-Hulk graphic novel. [11:25 PM] Wack'd: So the editor's note tells me [11:26 PM] Bocaj: I'd argue that the villain turning out to be a swarm of highly radioactive cockroaches that hijacked a helicarrier is another point in its favor [11:26 PM] Bocaj: But in terms of things relevant to FF those three panels is good [11:27 PM] Wack'd: So Johnny is pouring his heart out to his sister and his girlfriend [11:27 PM] Wack'd: But the Beyonder decides he's the best equipped to give this pep talk [11:27 PM] Wack'd: Tough luck having an emotional crisis during a tie-in, Johnny [11:28 PM] KarkatTheDalek: I’m going to go on a limb and say that the Beyonder resurrects the kid or something? [11:28 PM] Bocaj: Shooter: "Hey, John, can you tie FF into Secret Wars II" [11:28 PM] Bocaj: Byrne: "Sure I have a *great* moment for him" starts laughing evilly [11:28 PM] Bocaj: Shooter: "Ok, have the script on my desk by monday" [11:28 PM] Wack'd: Anyway Johnny gets to see Tommy as a kid [11:29 PM] Wack'd: ...a smaller kid, I mean [11:29 PM] Wack'd: And Beyonder explains he was so neglected that literally the only reason he lived this long is because he had a joy of reading about Johnny to motivate him to persevere [11:29 PM] Bocaj: Sure [11:31 PM] Wack'd: "Not many doctors in my employ would take the time and attention to include so many details but have absolutely nothing to do with medicine. I applaud you." "Are--are you being sarcastic, Dr. Anderson?" "Noooo of coooourse not"

[11:32 PM] Bocaj: ... like. Is this conceit where the issue is supposedly the medical report? [11:32 PM] Wack'd: Yes [11:32 PM] Bocaj: They already have a conceit where Byrne is writing the comic [11:32 PM] Bocaj: Thats two conceited! [11:33 PM] Wack'd: "I also enjoyed all these little pictures you drew. Very detailed." "Thank you. A dozen of my patients have died in the time it took me to draw them." [11:33 PM] Bocaj: Pfft [11:34 PM] Bocaj: I also feel like three pages isn't 'a wealth of detail' [11:34 PM] Bocaj: Unless the handwriting is super tiny [11:39 PM] Bocaj: Also, I found the post I did on 285 several years ago. Its mostly summary and mounting panic [11:39 PM] Wack'd: Mounting panic is an appropriate reaction [11:39 PM] Bocaj: Yeah! [11:40 PM] KarkatTheDalek: Alright, if that issue is done, I’ve just gotta say...John, what the fuck?

[12:13 AM] Bocaj: On the note of 285 I found some things to add off the wiki [12:13 AM] Bocaj: "In the letter collumn published in John Byrne's Next Men # 22 (January 1994), John Byrne reveals that he had originally planned that Dr. Darling would reveal the truth to the Human Torch, but he had to include the character of the Beyonder as a cross over to Secret Wars II. He even suggested to the FF editors that he would redraw all the scenes which featured the Beyonder free of charge if they decided to reprint the story." [12:14 AM] Bocaj: The dr would have been the one to get Johnny out of his slump, probably explaining more why she was the framing device [12:14 AM] Bocaj: And Byrne is kinda hilariously productively petty about having to tie in [12:15 AM] Bocaj: And this isn't the only time FF will do a plot where a kid sets himself on fire imitating Johnny. Personally I feel once is twice too often but I'm not an industry professional [12:16 AM] Wack'd: If I had a nickel [12:16 AM] Bocaj: Ha

Ok, I have have had these thoughts for awhile and thought you could give feedback if you have the time. Sorry if this is super long, ignore if it was too long haha

(Spoilers)

First, so we know Dabi killed 30 people. But it got me thinking, we know that during the story he was recruiting people for the LOV. We even got a glimpse of what he does to these people if they don’t align with his “ideals” I guess. I’m not condoning murder, it is wrong and damaging to those connected to the individual, but these people Dabi killed were more criminals/villains then random civilians, not really innocent. Yet again, he could have gone for civilians off page but all we know is that he burned a lot of people around the city and in that one scene he killed criminals, not civilians. Of course I didn’t forget Snatch or when he tried to kill Tokoyami, etc, but I’m excluding those factors for now (plus those were probably more circumstantial then anything where he had a goal in mind and was willing to kill if necessary.)

Secondly and speaking of killing, we also know that Dabi wanted to kill Shoto before Endeavor became Number 1. Again, I have not forgotten he did try to in the recent chapters but hear me out. In the Training Camp Arc, Dabi had a chance to kill Shoto but he didn’t. I know at the time they were trying to kidnap Bakugo but as we have seen Dabi does prioritize his own goals. I wonder why he didn’t kill him then and there? Maybe the timing wasn’t right or he was just unable to at the moment. I guess it doesn’t matter now considering once again the recent chapters 😬 (We also have the Aoyama situation and sometimes I low key believe he just got distracted by Twice and forgot. But we have seen he is quite perceptive so maybe he did show mercy, we will never know lol)

Thanks for your time!

Hello! Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me, they’re interesting to read! You brought up a lot of good points and speculations! Maybe we will know one day, lol.

I think it boils down to what Hori is trying to convey to the readers: the villains have a point. They’re grievances are valid. Hori shows us that the league has a specific vision and want to achieve it a specific way, and hero society has a very black and white view of people - meaning, they’re either good or bad, and that’s it. 

Like you said, Dabi is careful on to who he lets into the league. The league has...standards. They don’t want to steal from the poor. Shiggy is considerate of his comrades’ wishes (not destroying the things Toga likes, buying sushi for Papipress), Toga is empathetic, Twice was a loyal guy who wanted to make his friends happy, and Spinner joined because he wanted to be part of a change. He even questioned going after Overhaul because it wasn’t part of Stain’s idealogy.  

As for Dabi, maybe he just used the recruiter excuse as a way to get his hot girl errands completed for the downfall of daddy dearest, but we’ve been shown that he gives people a chance before deciding to burn them. He didn’t burn those people in the alley until after they threatened pointless violence (and called him ugly lol) and he didn’t attack Aoyama because he probably thought Aoyama wasn’t a threat. I mean, the kid was rightfully cowering in fear. Dabi didn’t attack Tokoyami until after he tried talking some sense into him. He went hardcore against Geten after Geten went on that quirk supremacist speech.  

Also, if we think back to when Dabi was introduced, Giran made a point to state that Dabi hasn’t committed any serious crimes. 

And Dabi, like Spinner has multiple times, questioned Shigaraki’s mission because he didn’t want to get involved unless it fit with his beliefs:

So, it’s interesting to note that Dabi’s spiral began when he made contact with Endeavor/heroes. He went from being a petty criminal to what he is today because he got near his abuser. I think he started spiraling the more he made contact with Endeavor and the more he burned himself.

I think Dabi, like Endeavor, never thought Endeavor would get the #1 spot. Dabi probably lived on the streets silently seething in his trauma brain thoughts passively planning to k-word Shouto as revenge on his dad when Shouto became #1. And then one day, hope - the hero killer stain managed to crack society’s rose colored view of heroes. Suddenly Dabi saw a way to get a more active role in the destruction of his dad personally and not just through Shouto. To Dabi, the BEST thing that could have happened for his plans was Endeavor becoming #1, but it’s the worst thing for his mental health.

BESTIE THE SERVE AT THE TFMA AAAAHHHHHHHHHHH. Dress code is boring, but our guy vampire Seonghwa served cunt!!! No shirt, just a vest, a choker, a nice suit... and then THE BOOBS, THE LEGS, THE SHOULDERS 😭😭😭😭 Mingi in a long coat 😩 Hongjoong looked cute in his hat

Seriously??? 👁👄👁 I just

About that dream I feel like I had 83637 dreams that night so idk what was going on, I remember a dark corridor and I think he bumped my head with mine because he was walking very close skufishdjsnshsjshshs the corridor was small though

I don't remember everything that happened in TVD, maybe because the actor annoyed me I just couldn't stand Damon anymore #growth 😭 but have fun watching! PLL is such a shitshow and just saying the ending was BOLLOCKS!!! But it started well tbh and was pretty spooky at times, so I enjoyed it

I considered censoring m*rried lmaoooo, but decided to be brave! Ohhh I'm glad the fic is going well. Hotcheeks will be very happy! I imagine writing threesomes is hard to navigate 😭 writing regular smut is challenging enough. I could never

The strawberry milk, the rose, the pink kitty ears and the cherry photocards sit at the same table aka FUCKING EXPENSIVE TABLE. No but really Hwa has so many good photocards it makes collecting them more satisfying! It's a torment, but worth it

I watched 3 episodes and a half of LIC so far but I think I'm gonna wait until the whole season comes out, maybe see some spoilers to brace myself 😬

Literally, sometimes we get random interactions and the world goes crazy but some interactions never happen or at least we don't have the honour of seeing any fucking proof 😩 this is a cruel world. Jackson played the part and served so many fanfiction worthy moments, others need to deliver as well, come on

(About Seulgi) E x a c t l y! The choreo is good, so why not do it in a more interesting setting ILLEGAL. The outfits were okaaaaay, but we could've gotten something truly stunning. I can't wait to see the photobooks though. I hope her next cb comes soon and she continues the dark vibe. Imagine siren Seulgi or full witch 👀

I'll be like "so, I found your lost brother" and pull up a whole ass banner. But I think he watched Tomorrow or is at least familiar with it? 🤔 I know it's so funny and the funniest thing is I didn't even bias him until later... but when I remembered the hip thrusts I was like 😳😳😳😳

DOES MISS Y/N EVEN END UP WITH HIM??? - now this is MY villain origin story ://// and no DYING unless someone wakes up as a vampire or something 😭😭😭😭 maybe I'll boycott and not read lmaooo

I knew you'd appreciate the Danceracha song, because they serveeeeed. Lino's vocals made me choke. I'm glad they do unit songs and they're always so different. Omg Cold as hell is one of my faves from INVU! Gotta make a full villain Y/N playlist!

My friends attended TMA and they're going to that Daegu concert as well. Very unfair, I'm happy for them, but THE JEALOUSY IS SWALLOWING ME WHOLE 😩 - DV 💖

[whenimgoodandready]

Dear Pigeon Dude, how much do we see thee? Let me count the ways: 1.There was your first appearance (“Mr.Pigeon”) where thanks to you, Marinette was inspired to create your hat for her beloved Adrien to model (“Style Queen”), 2.There was that time you were made a running gag and was getting on our nerves (“Timetagger”) and 3.There was that time you were the first action we saw in our very first “Miraculous World” special in New York, but don’t fret dear pigeon pal, for we have grown mature and understand why you are so dear to us. After all, it was you (along with Mime) who was part of the Ladybug PV! And without you, we wouldn’t have had memories to look fondly upon on this wonderful animation we cherish and it is with that that I say, Thank you Mr.Pigeon (aka Mr.Ramier), we love you…….and your pigeons! Coo! Coo!💖🐦

*Mr.Pigeon 72-Following from last ep, Alya is now a “Secret Keeper” as she found out her best friend in the whole wide world, is one half of the pair of the miraculous crime fighting duo, Ladybug! So she’s in on the dets:Master Fu, the Kwamies, the history and the grimoire. Speaking of which, Marinette is spending all her Spring Break time trying to create “anti-akumatizing” charms to prevent people from constantly getting akumatized in their signature akumatized forms (and keep the fans from getting annoyed). Poor girl is spending her mini vacation working instead of going for a swim or binging watching Netflix and chillin’, but you know, superhero work comes first. When Marinette hears that Adrigami has sunk, she tries to raise it back to the surface saying she has “no feelings” for Adrien!? (record scratch) WHAT!? (“The Twilight Zone” theme song plays as the scene freezes and turns black and white while shading into darkness) [*a nicely dressed man steps in to face the audience with a stoic face and speaks with a melancholy tone* Picture if you will, a young Parisian girl who’s brain was mostly consumed by visions of a young Parisian boy and has plastered her walls with his face, memorized his weekly schedule by heart and has already created his birthday gifts for the next several decades, when suddenly, all of that love that she never got to confess, blows out the window and she acts like now he’s no one to her. This is far from the “friend zone”, It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone!].

You know it’s complete bullsh*t what she just said there, but Marinette decides to rescue Kagami being a drift in the sea by trying to salvage what’s left of the ship that was Adrigami anyway much to Kagamies chagrin as she’d rather stay afloat. During that, Mr.Ramier was assisting producer, jerka** Bob Roth, in shooting Adriens new commercial with doves pigeons! God this guys so cheap! Hey! Wait a minute! Pigeons are doves! They have the same build and coo! Some just come in different colors! (that’s being superficial with the coloring just cuz white doves are “cleaner” and “prettier” compared to the gray and “boring” or “dirty” ones. :P). Not to mention why Gabe allowed birds in the shoot and completely ignored his sons allergy to feathers which makes the commercial (coupled with the failed resurfacing of Adrigami interfering in the middle of it) suck. Bob blames Mr.Ramier and doesn’t promise him a safe space for his pigeons and boom! Look who sprouted feathers, for the 72 time!

The idea of a pigeon themed villain may have sounded stupid at first for us in the beginning, but birds can be legit scary and people can be afraid of them (ornithophobia). Think the classic horror film “The Birds”, where out of nowhere, all the local birds in town just start attacking people for no damn reason whatsoever, or one of Batman’s villains, The Penguin, who resembles a human-like pigeon, but is a ruthless crime boss, and now, Mr.Pigeon one ups his regular shtick by having Shadow Moth give him the power of transforming others into pigeons! Yeesh!😬. Birds have hard beaks that can peck our skin red, razor sharp talons that can claw our eyes out and it just feels weird getting touched by them! This is why we don’t underestimate the birds (and the bird people) cuz in this case, There was no Cat Noir! Don! Don! Don! Mr.Pigeon got him “feathered”! But hey! It’s not like it’s the first time! *cough*”StyleQueen”*cough* and besides, Ladybug still had a certain “black cat” to balance her good luck again. Also, the addition of a certain sneaky fox despite the consequences this will lead to future episodes (Shadow Moth knows a majority of Team Miraculous unmasked).

Out of the precious eps, this was one I was “NOT” spoiled by. All’s I knew of this ep was that Mr.Pigeon got cereal. That’s it! That’s all I knew about this. The “bomb” in this case was not only Mr.Pigeons big break, but also Ladybug gaining a new power/transformation sequence by creating anti-akumatizing charms! Thanks to those, we’ll never see Mr.Pigeon again! Yea! (✨a heavenly light shines from above as an angelic choir sings Hallelujah✨). I saw those in the promo pics for the season! However, I quickly realized that Mr.Ramier will later be akumatized as a rat villain named Monsieur Rat! (just how did that new Butterfly Miraculous holder manage to do that!?). Alya’s come a (too) long way to keep this secrecy: Trying to reveal Ladybugs identity (“Lady Wifi”), having an interview with her (“The Mime”) and realizing it was her who made DjWifi happen (“Animan”) and only when she stopped listening to Shadow Moth did she finally uncover her biggest goal. Now we won’t have to hear any more weirda** excuses again! Phew! I was told this season that Marinette and Adrien would be getting character development and I think I’m seeing that here. As much as Marinette/Ladybug loves Adrien, let’s keep in mind, she can’t date cuz Shadow Moth is still lurking about and unless he’s taken down once and for all, she can’t have a love life, so she’s at least trying to make best with Adrien by reuniting him with Kagami (despite her moving on) and even if she can’t date, she can at least still keep her love for Adrien and just shelf it until her superhero life is over (shrugs). Heart wants what it wants. You don’t need to worry about Kagami cuz unlike Marinette, she actually has no feelings for Adrien anymore (cuz he’s a “liar” and a “fake”) and shes not aimlessly floating in the sea of shipping, she’s been rescued by jumping on deck the Adrienette ship! Welcome aboard Kagami! Enjoy! Speaking of Adrienette, we have the infamous Umbrella Scene 2.0 and it looks like it’s in reverse as now Adrien/Cat Noir might possibly be falling in love with Marinette!? Hmmmm. I’m going in production order here, so I’m waiting for “Psychomedian” instead of jumping to the next episode cuz I hate things out of order even though I’m “kinda” spoiled by pretty much all the eps (I’m weak), but I’ll be back once “Psychomedian” is out!
