I have done it

According to the DCU Guide, I have read every single Post-Crisis Pre-Flashpoint comic that features main universe Selina Kyle. And I have to say... Good lord was that not worth it.

#catwoman #selina kyle #catwoman comics #Don't get me wrong #along the way i read loads of interesting and compelling stories #in series i didn't even know existed #and now there's a bunch of runs i'm looking to check out in full #Gotham Central. JSA: Classified. Simone's BoP. No Man's Land.#but being generous there's about a 15-20 percent of issues that i read that are actively bad #never mind the merely incompetent and mediocre #I will compile and highlights reel reading list if people want #but... all of it? No. Just no.

you ever just have a lot, a LOT of feelings all at once about a character and not even remotely enough words or brainpower to FORM the words to describe everything you're feeling. so it feels like you may explode. yeah

#sorry i got really into my feelings about mark hoffman again #the very specific version of him in my brain that i really really wish i had the time and energy to properly share with you guys #saw #well until i muster the energy to explode all of my feelings out into a fic. if you want to TRY and understand #know that my three biggest hoffman fic insps right now are as follows #your best kept secret hoffman. a series of mistakes hoffman. and rushed like a dreadful wind hoffman.#there is a very clear throughline just know i am extremely emotionally compromised rn #thinking about theee fics vs the canon path hoffman spirals down #something something the absolute tragedy of watching a man's descent into madness #the transformation of a man into a monster #and what could have saved him from himself and kramer's corruption #sorry i'm rambling so much oh my god i was just having such a crying fit out of nowhere about this #do you think he could feel it happening. do you think he was aware he was losing his mind.#the script version of him fucks with me so bad. the crazed rankings and the longer hair and him not being well kept anymore #it's impossible to think he didn't know he was deteriorating #fuuuck okay i need to either chill or write a whole longfic rn #i project on that guy so much i truly don't know if i could properly write my vision of him #until i do something more substantial the full extent of my hoffman exists for me and my boyfriend only. they get me like no one else #well ginny and jenna also get me. please read best kept secret and a series of mistakes Oh My God #where am i going with this. i like tag rambling actually this is a nice way to do it without forcing EVERYONE to read my delirium #anyways if you've read all of this i think i love you? feel free to dm me about hoffman and my very specific headcanons and aus #maybe soon i'll try and start writing my fics about this tragic man #i could never say any of this on twitter btw they'd string me up for my opinions on him as a sad wet beast who could have been fixed #if only he hadn't been weaponized first #god i'm too tired to even be as embarrassed about this as i should be. thought i unlearned cringe already #but i've been spending way too much time on twitter and they HAAATE hoffman there #rip. i know it's not that serious but i'm sensitive rn and hate feeling lonely in my thoughts #ok bye for real otherwise i'll never shut up. i might tag ramble more often bc this was therapeutic in a way i needed badly #cat chat

Hellsing 2002 calendar illustration.

Ein wunderliche und erschröckliche Hystori von einem großen Wüttrich genant Dracole wayda Der do so ganz unkristenliche marrter hat angelegt die mensche, als mit spissen als auch die leut zu Tod geslyffen

A wondrous and frightening story about a great berserk called Dracula the voivode who inflicted such unchristian tortures such as with stakes and also dragged people to death

#hellsing #alucard #kouta hirano #translation was found in a comment by u/lazyfoxheart on r/Kurrent #fun fact this is the highest quality version of this image that exists online #i know because i've been looking forever for a version that's clear enough to actually read what hirano wrote under '1443'#but there weren't any so i had to take matters into my own hands #the real image on the back of the guidebook is only 2 inches tall so i had to take this with my smartphone and will my hands not to shake #anyway i'm pretty sure it's supposed to say Eğrigöz (the location vlad was imprisoned) so yeah. thank you hirano very cool #if i might rant for a sec it took me an embarrassingly long time to figure that out because i didn't have the guidebook at first #and in the images i could find online that part was just a blur that looked suspiciously like a person's signature and i was like. who tf #i was thinking matthias corvinus since he issued some political propaganda against vlad iirc but it didn't match his signature on wikipedia #then i thought it might be vlad II dracul's since he probably had to sign an agreement to send his sons over as hostages at some point #but that didnt seem right either so i kept skimming vlad's wiki page #and then i was like goddammit...hirano.....you just misspelled Eğrigöz didn't you.. ....#i maybe should've made a separate post dedicated to this instead of writing a novel in the tags but eh #the hellsing brainrot runs deep #also- i put it in the source link at the bottom of the post but the german inscription is copied off a real woodcut of vlad from 1491 #except instead of depicting him as an adult hirano drew him as a child which gives the inscription a very different feel imo #the one final thing that interests me about this is the fact that hirano published this calendar in 2002 #which is REALLY early in the series. like this was before volume 5 came out??#i have no idea why he decided to do a massive spoiler drop in a random piece of japan-only merch #sandwiched between a drawing of alucard as john travolta from saturday night fever and integra as a fish no less #it makes me really curious to know what the fan response to this was back then. like did people even know who this was #maybe im just an idiot and everyone back then was like 'ah yes its alucard as a 12 year old. how very informative'

Bro, bro, there is no second Pacific Rim movie, bro, it was just a bad dream, go back to sleep

#i didn't even know it existed before 2022 #pacific rim uprising dni #pacific rim #the thought of it genuinely just makes me sad especially for this one lovely writer i've spoken to who was able to perfectly pinpoint why #anyway it's one of the few things i genuinely don't accept as canon i reject your reality and replace it with my own or whatever #the real pacific rim sequel is actually these two lovely series of fics i've been slowly continuously reading since 2022 #i don't even care that much for pacific rim but i care for aspects of what they created that i feel the sequel f*cking spits and steps on #and i care for the characters which they do so dirty :/

#for me personally the first one #then the third and then the second #I do think the third is an upgrade to the second because it feels more natural? the humor isn't as forced and there is a plot. kinda #the second will always be in my heart tho. for jed and oct. everything else is really meh #and the fourth movie? I didn't even know it existed a month ago #it's not bad. not really. just everyone is ooc? I'd like it if they went with the end of the 3rd movie and had a cast of new characters #instead of using old ones and changing their personalities #it felt too childish also #the animation was fine. nothing outstanding #I'd actually love it to be an animated series instead of a movie #anyway #poll #polls #night at the museum #battle of the smithsonian #secret of the tomb #Kahmunrah Rises Again #natm #not art #reblog for a bigger sample size

as the holidays come to a close, i'm left to wonder....

how does religion work in the pjo universe?

#pjo #percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #percy series #pjo series #pjo tv show #pjo hoo toa #pjo fandom #percy pjo #annabeth pjo #like i know rick riordan is a white goyische man #so he probably didn't think this through and just assumed that they all celebrated Christmas culturally #but how does religion play in the pjo universe #even if you're like christian do you just leave religion when you come to camp #like i understand that most kids are pretty irreligious and probably won't care about leaving religion #but as someone who went to religious school there's at least one kid who is devout as fuck and'll just keep practicing #also like plenty of religions practiced today are the same age as the ancient greek religion- ex. judaism and hinduism #how does that clash work-there were exchanges of jewish and hindu culture in the ancient greek era so it's safe to assume jewish and hindu #half-bloods would exist #also on the hindu can of worms- we are also a polytheistic religion #does belief in that renounce any connection to the greek gods #also the comedic potential of the clash in SO underutilized #i can see luke at some point just scraping the food into the hermes fire saying 'accept my offering- o g-d who is NOT greek'#or some other camper reciting the brahmarpanam or offering Du'a while offering food to the gods #you can't tell me at least one kid yelled up at the sky 'well i'm converting now! fuck you dad!'

What do you think as Hermione's career would be post battle of Hogwarts? To me her being minister for magic really doesn't make sense. She does not have patience or tact to wade through murky waters of politics 😭😭

So hard to say! The Trio are so, so young when we leave them, I find it almost impossible to project their futures farther than a few years out. The job that suited me at 17 would be radically unsuited to me now. That's why of all the Trio, Ron's ending strikes me as the most realistic — he jumps straight into the save-the-world business again, burns out, realizes he's actually Done The Fuck Enough, Thanks, and pivots into a low-stress career where he gets to see his family a lot. Feels accurate! The others are weirder to me because they do seem to just... pick a lane and stay there.

With Hermione, you could spin her a couple ways. You could say that she leans into her bookish side and does research or teaching, which is not my preference for a couple reasons (namely, I don't think Hermione would like academia as a profession; she finds her classwork interesting and enjoys intellectual validation, but she'd be stifled and wasted in a DPhil program, and she'd be infuriated by the administrative politicking of your average higher-ed faculty). You could say that she gets disaffected with politics and ends up as a barrister or a lobbyist of some kind, but if anything that requires more political finesse, because you don't actually have institutional power, you're just handling the people who make decisions and trying to persuade them of your goals. This is not Hermione's preferred method of influence. She's not even particularly good at persuasion, she just happens to be smart enough (and right often enough) that people take her ideas seriously.

Or you could say her brashness fades with the years into a softened flavor of tell-you-like-it-is honesty, which some politicians actually do successfully trade on; as we see in British politics today, you don't have to be all that charming or clever to get ahead, you just need to be really driven and well-connected (which Hermione completely is; she fought shoulder-to-shoulder with the first postwar Minister and her bestie, the Literal Messiah, runs the Auror Office.) But I don't know if Hermione especially wants to be Minister, after the war. She's just watched years of horrendous bureaucratic incompetence plunge the country into a violent civil conflict. She's had not one, but two Ministers of Magic try to bully or shame her friends into complicity with fascism. Her view of government is... likely extremely dark.

But Hermione also isn't the kind of person who sees her life as a quest for happiness. Babygirl has a savior complex that makes Harry look selfish. (She basically kills her parents — yeah, obliviating is a form of murder, #changemymind — "for their own good," and justifies every batshit, vindictive, mean-spirited move she ever pulls on the grounds that it "helps" one of her friends.) She is a mean, lean, dragon-slaying machine, and she needs a dragon. After Voldemort, the Ministry is the no. 1 threat to muggle-borns and non-wizarding Beings. As a war heroine with basically infinite political capital, I'd be surprised if she didn't try to do something there. That said, Hermione is so vivacious and dynamic that she could potentially grow in a hundred different directions; it's possible that all of this, while true of her at 18, becomes completely inaccurate by 22. That's why I'm not too fussed about any particular fanon interpretation.

#greenteacup asks #sidebar: I know Minister “of” Magic is an Americanism but mea culpa #Someday I might actually bite it and pay someone to britpick Lionheart but I can't do it now #because I have a ban on editing published fic unless it's finished. Otherwise I'll never get around to writing the actual ending #I have a Process #is it the best process? likely not! but it makes the words go. so here we are.#I also think the fact that JKR is Gen X makes a difference here. careers worked differently in the 80s and 90s than they do now #i.e. we have the gig economy and a lot more mobility and EXPECTATION of mobility in your early life #that means career changes & professional pivots through your 20s and 30s are increasingly normal #and in fact have always been normal — but the image of the 'true' or 'ideal' career has changed #so we look at those careers and go hm. really? none of them changed?#none of them even went to uni? do wizards... just not?#but again. I believe the epilogue was written almost completely without consideration as to what happened between the BOH and then #I really believe that JKR did not know what happened to Harry except a wedding and 3 kids. because that was the whole point #I don't think she even knew what his career was when she wrote that scene #It existed to marry everyone off and do a quick munchkin headcount #because of the understandable temptation as an author to keep your hand on the wheel. but it didn't even matter!#the epilogue changed NOTHING! it was the most useless chapter in the series! I just — GOD #you can absolutely accuse me of being sour grapes about my ships getting nixed. I AM sour grapes. I AM a hater.#AND I have plot/theme/craft reasons for disliking it.#I'm not objective. I just want credit for being a sophisticated hater. my grapes may be sour but they're still artisinal.

I love you Hello Neighbor you are the most poorly put together story that constantly retcons things with the most absurd lore and wackadoodle decisions. You HAVE to know your game is mostly played by kids but the new animated series "will not be rated for kids" and the first episode has a "directors cut" that is viewable IN the second game that's only difference from the censored youtube version that I can tell is that there is a scene where they show blood and the body of a woman stuck in the tires of a truck. Mr. Peterson is a murderer. Mr. Peterson is NOT a murderer. Mr. Peterson is a clown for no reason. Mr. Peterson has a whole amusement park under his house. There's a weird ritual powered by a mysterious device and storms where some adults gather dressed as birds to literally steal luck from the air. The last book introduced Time loops as canon.

#I just bought 60 dollars worth of merch from the merch store I didn't know existed till today #the animated series has been out for a month and they havent mentioned it outside of youtube ONCE. I also didn't know it existed till today #and I haven't even seen the second game or the comics! there could be even more!!!#sorry sometimes I come down with the hello neighbor sickness and i have to talk about it or I die #I'm good now #rambling #talk #hello neighbor
