🧵 ACNH Able Sisters Store Set 🪡

Sims 4, Base game compatible | 48 Now 51 items

(added the awning, chimney, and the stairs as a deco item with no footprint)

All the items you'll need to recreate The Able Sisters cute little shop in your TS4 game. All items came with only 1 swatch each. There are a few items that I added a couple of extra swatches for.

As always, turning the brightness down on functional lamps will make them look better (not overly bright) due to my vertex paint issue in Blender.

Type “ACNH Able” into the search query in build mode to find  quickly. You can always find items like this, just begin typing the title and it will appear.

Use the raise & lower keyboard cheat to put your already styled mannequins onto the displays. The displays have slots, but mannequins will only let you place them on the floor, and won't allow styling once they have been raised, so make sure to do that first. They only need to be raised 1-2 notches depending on which display you are placing them on.

Use the scale up & down feature on your keyboard to make the items larger or smaller to your liking. If you have a non-US keyboard, it may be different keys depending on which alphabet it uses.

I hope you enjoy! ☺️

Uptight and nitpicky, these are the words generally used to describe Professor Dobson. He often loses himself to bouts of anger and lashes out, raising his voice as he boomingly calls out on a student’s slack performance, much to their chagrin.

Despite this, he genuinely cares about them and only wants what's best for his students, even if his way of expressing it may be unorthodox.

His always foul mood might be the result of crankiness due to lack of sleep, for he frequently plunges himself headfirst into workloads and tends to take care of the various issues that arise in the school personally. And considering it's the infamous Night Raven College, there's always trouble just around the corner.

One thing that can ruffle the fae’s wings more than unruly mentees is “fun things”, particularly romance. He openly gripes about his distaste for the subject, saying they’re “unnecessary” and that they “only serve as distractions from the important things in life.” Now, it would be fine and all if he wasn’t so adamant on making everyone see things his way…

most items are music-themed and have recolors. enjoy ~ !

DOWNLOAD: SFS | MF 🎼

a readme.txt and collection file are included in the download!

all credits go to @syboubou for the adorable original ts4 meshes & textures! 💖

things to note

the vinyls originally came in english swatches. since i play a purely simlish game, i've recolored & retextured them so that they (mostly) use simlish instead. certain swatches that were too difficult to retexture were not converted.

376. Various Authors - Polyhedron #22 (March 1985)

Rounding out March 1985, we get the 22nd issue of the RPGA newsletter which, this month, sports a cover allusive of the Star Frontiers game, the leading SciFi TTRPG published by TSR at the time. Fortunately, for our purposes there is plenty of D&D content inside the cover.

D&D content includes the usual centerpiece module, this time In the Black Hours by David Cook, first used in Gen Con South 1984 and now reprinted here for all those who like their D&D competitive. Gygax contributes some new monsters in an article rectifying some omissions from Monster Manual II and clarifying the Marlgoyle. Gygax shows up again in the official Judge and Players rankings for 1984, being the highest ranking game judge at level 10. 

Other articles include some new, but unofficial, Cleric spells and a catalog for ordering some RPGA swag. If you were smart you would have been snagging as many of those R-Series modules as you possibly could for $4.00 and keeping them for a rainy day as each of them would be worth in excess of $1k today. Talk about inflation.

A book you very likely don’t have on your shelf #376 -- 1981

[tiffanybluesclues]

HELLO! I'm making an obnoxiously long meta about the inconsistencies of Dick's and Bruce's relationship. I'm ALMOST finishes but I need an instance of adult-ish Dick Grayson saying that he didn't want Bruce to be his father pre-flashpoint

Also if you have instances of the writer hammering they're brothers pre-flashpoint that'd be cool as hell too, but I already got at least one instance of it (when dick goes to college)

Thank you in advance!!!! I'm still on the Kory-Bruce meta lmao I'm so annoyed he barely mentions her lmaooo

Somewhere in the decades and decades of pre-Flashpoint DC Comics, there may be an instance where Dick Grayson (as an adult or at least as a teenager) said he didn't want Bruce to be his father, but I've never seen it and I'm kind of glad I haven't because tbh based on what I *have* seen it would be Dick lying to himself.

I'm guessing the page that inspired your quest is this court scene from "Batman: Year 3" (1989)?

– Batman #439, 09/1989.

Maybe it was a modernized explanation for why Bruce took Dick in as a ward instead of adopting him – as opposed to the version in Batman #213 (08/1969), with the court saying Bruce couldn't adopt because he was a bachelor.

Something that speaks volumes to me is that in the same story as the above court scene, in the preceding issue actually, Dick thinks to himself that Bruce was like father to him. There is no internal conflict in this statement, no thought about how he at some point didn't want this. "He was like a FATHER to me and I LOVED him." He follows that up with a sad reminder of the distance between him and post-Crisis Bruce: "...and though he could NEVER bring himself to say it, I know he loved me too."

– Batman #438, 08/1989 or 09/1989.

You're familiar with the college-send-off, so please keep it in mind when you read this scene with [regard to] Bruce and pre-Crisis Jason.

– pages from Batman #376, 10/1984.

Alfred's response makes sense, it's a good explanation. It's also a complete rewrite of history, so these two are lying to themselves – or, more likely, the writers are trying to emphasize the current day stakes and emotions at the expense of the past. With the above panels in mind, let's look again at how Bruce actually reacted when Dick left home...

– pages from Batman #217, 12/1969.

Oh suuuuure, he definitely didn't mope around feeling lonely and depressed at all – and closing up Wayne Manor and moving out was a ~totally~ chill and non-dramatic reaction to Dick leaving for college... lol, okay, Bruce. I guess 159 issues and almost 15 years can make memories faulty.

The following are two pages I saved because of their references to the history that Bruce and Dick share. I want to highlight the page on the left though, because on a single page this comic manages to pay respect to the long history between Dick and Bruce while also disrespecting Dick's role as a surrogate son in Bruce's life.

– pages from Detective Comics #533, 12/1983; The New Titans #61, 12/1989.

That final yellow panel is so rude to me lol, like how dare you say "for the first time" as if like-a-son-to-him Dick Grayson didn't happen.

Comics from the 60s and 70s were probably the peak time for the idea that Bruce and Dick were like brothers. As far as I can tell though, writers didn't really have other characters describe them as brothers. I've seen mentor & apprentice, friends, partners, guardian & ward, knight & squire, and (primarily when there are no other children in the mix) of course Dick is also described as Bruce's heir pretty often.

I feel like, compared to Batman comics, the 1980s Teen Titans comics were more willing to say Bruce and Dick had a father and son relationship. Donna even contrasts her sisterly relationship with Diana to the parent and child relationship of Bruce and Dick during "Who Is Donna Troy?"

– The New Teen Titans #38, 01/1984 (Donna); The New Titans #61, 12/1989 (Alfred); The Brave and the Bold #197 04/1983 (Golden Age/Earth Two Bruce Wayne).

At least they let Earth Two Bruce remain true to Golden Age vibes.

My headcanon is always that he is the Bruce who every Dick Grayson grew up with, regardless of era, regardless of rewrites. Here are some panels that kind of support that – a significant factor in how Dick views Bruce is that he had a "softer" version of him than the man we see now.

– Batman: Gotham Knights #26, 04/2002 (Barbara); Nightwing #134, 09/2007 (Dick in flashback); Batman #437, 08/1989 or 09/1989 (Dick again).

A repeated theme from Dick is that he is insecure about his place in Bruce's life, and in some instances Bruce even made it clear that Dick's role was as a soldier, or at best a partner, and that being part of his family was conditional.

– left: pages from Robin: Year One - Part 2, Part 3, Part 3, Part 4, 01/2001.

right: panels from Robin: Year One - Part 4, 01/2001; Batman: Gotham Knights #43 09/2003; Action Comics #613, 08/1988; same; Nightwing #134, 09/2007; Nightwing Secret Files #1, 10/1999; same.

With that underlying insecurity, and the deep love and loyalty that Dick has for Bruce, I think that by the time he came of age it's likely that Dick actively wanted Bruce to be his father.

The first 20 or so issues of Gotham Knights offered some great material about their familial relationship (leading up to the adoption storyline). In issue #14 Dick writes a letter that he still never send. I swear half the delay in my response was probably me deciding which panels to include from this because it is a gold mine for the kind of meta you're writing.

– panels from Batman: Gotham Knights #14, 04/2001.

& with that I've hit the image limit, but I'll reblog with some panels on the point about how Bruce and Dick were often described as friends (something I saw possibly just as often as ward and heir).

@lyn-js

-

She could spend hours just looking at him with Nicole on his lap as the twins were checked on. She smiles, leaning on a hand with her eyes shining the longer she looked at him, Rooster was amazing and ever since he got the promotion…well,it looked like he was glowing even more if possible.

Watching him seated not so far from them, with a fussy Nicole who demanded attention was…really sweet. Beatrice’s lower lip slid into her mouth, the curl of anxiousness making it’s way into her stomach.

She knew that once he was promoted, things would change but…hell,she wanted him to be alright. She frowns, looking down at both Gavin and Aurora,who unlike their older sister, were chilling on the soft cushioned table as they waited for the doctor to return with the results.

“Gorgeous.” she hears him say, “You alright?”

Beatrice's gaze snapped up from her children to meet Rooster's concerned eyes. She offered him a small smile, though it didn't quite reach her eyes. "I'm okay," she replied, her voice tinged with uncertainty. "Just a little nervous, that's all."

Rooster reached over and took her hand in his, his touch warm and reassuring. "It's going to be okay," he murmured, “You’ll see.”

Beatrice nodded, feeling a surge of gratitude for Rooster's unwavering support. She squeezed his hand tightly, drawing strength from his touch as they waited for the doctor to return.

It felt like an eternity before the doctor finally reentered the examination room, a warm smile on her face. Beatrice's heart raced, in more ways than one.

The doctor took a seat across from them, her expression calm and composed as she began to speak. "I'm happy to inform you that the twins are healthy and developing as expected," she said, her words a balm to Beatrice's frayed nerves. "There's no cause for concern at this time."

Relief flooded through Beatrice as she processed the doctor's words, her eyes closing in relief, “Thank god.”

Rooster smiled back at her, his eyes shining with the same relief. "See, I told you everything would be fine," he murmured,kissing her forehead.

“Now,” the doctor begins, “Let’s see the separate exams so you can be even more relieved,alright? Since they are preemies, it’s always good to know more– albeit you two are doing a great job, they are amazing 3 months old babies.”

“Oh,okay, sure.” Bea says, holding Rooster’s hand as the doctor turned her eyes to the papers.

“Let’s start with Gavin,” she begins, smiling down at the little baby boy who was just staring around curiously, “He is…a big boy, as you noticed. Both of them are big, but Gavin is showing a huge difference from his sister.”

"Gavin is doing exceptionally well," she said, "He's hitting all his milestones and is in excellent health."

Beatrice let out a sigh of relief, her shoulders sagging with the weight of tension released. She looked over at Rooster, her eyes shining with gratitude. "That's wonderful news," 

Rooster squeezed her hand tightly, his own relief evident in his expression. "I told you everything would be fine," he said softly, his voice laced with affection.

As the doctor finished her assessment of Aurora, she looked up with a smile. "Aurora is also doing very well," she announced, her tone warm and reassuring. "She's a little smaller than her brother, but her development is right on track. And she’s much more active, but that’s completely normal, their personalities are already showing at such a young age."

With a sigh of relief, Beatrice felt a weight lift off her chest. She glanced down at Aurora, who was wiggling next to her brother, a smile spreading across her face. "That's such a relief to hear," she said softly, her voice filled with gratitude.

The doctor smiled warmly at their exchange, pleased to see the bond between parents and children. "It's clear that you both love and care for them deeply," she said, her tone gentle. "And that's the most important thing for their development."

"Thank you, doctor," Beatrice said sincerely, "For everything."

The doctor nodded, a warm smile on her face. "It's my pleasure," she replied, her tone warm and reassuring. "Just remember to schedule their next check-up in a few months, and don't hesitate to reach out if you have any concerns in the meantime."

"We will," Rooster promised,. "Thank you again."

With that, the doctor bid them farewell and left the examination room, leaving Beatrice and Rooster alone with their children once again. Beatrice let out a shaky breath, feeling the tension drain from her body as she relaxed against Rooster's side.

"See?" Rooster said with a grin, his eyes shining with relief. "Our little ones are healthy as can be."

Beatrice nodded, a smile spreading across her face. "Yes, thank god," she replied, "I don't know what came over me.”

“You were just nervous.”

‘I know, but…” she sighs, “...we are good parents.”

“Mhm.”

“We have three kids together.”

“Sure do.”

She frowns, “...I don’t know,I guess I’m too into my head.” she mutters, gently picking Gavin - Rooster picked Aurora as he put Nicole down, the little toddler stood by his feet with her eyes wide and mouth open - “I don’t know what came over me.”

As they gathered their belongings and prepared to leave the doctor's office, Beatrice couldn't shake the lingering sense of unease that had settled in her stomach. She watched as Rooster settled Aurora into her stroller, his movements gentle and loving as he tended to their children.

"You're not alone in feeling that way, Bea," Rooster said softly,kissing her forehead "We're both navigating this journey together, and it's only natural to have moments of doubt and uncertainty."

"I just want to do right by them," she admitted, her voice tinged with emotion.

Rooster reached over and squeezed her hand, his touch warm and comforting. "And you are," he said sincerely, his eyes meeting hers. "You're an incredible mother, Beatrice, and our children are lucky to have you."

Tears welled up in Beatrice's eyes at Rooster's words, her heart overflowing with love for him. "Thank you," she whispered, her voice choked with emotion. "I needed to hear that."

Rooster leaned in and pressed a tender kiss to her forehead, his lips lingering against her skin. "Anytime, gorgeous," he murmured, his voice soft and reassuring.

With a deep breath, Beatrice composed herself and wiped away her tears, determined to focus on the present moment. She smiled at Rooster, gratitude shining in her eyes as they prepared to leave the doctor's office and return home.

"Ready to head home?"]

Beatrice nodded, a smile spreading across her face. "Absolutely," she replied, her voice tinged with excitement. "I can't wait to cuddle up with our little ones and just relax."

Rooster grinned, his eyes shining with love. "Sounds like a plan," he said, taking her hand in his as they walked towards the parking lot. "Let's go home."

-

“Hrrm.”

“What?”

She turns her head to see her husband glaring at his phone, “Rooster,what happened?”

“...I got another fuckin’ message asking me to go to that stupid reunion.” he growls, “I’m going to ignore it.”

"Another one?" Beatrice asked, her brow furrowing with concern. "How many times have they asked you now?"

Rooster sighed, his frustration evident as he tossed his phone onto the coffee table. "Too many," he replied, his voice tinged with annoyance. "I've lost count at this point. But I'm not going, that's for sure."

"I don't blame you," she said, her voice quiet. "It's not like you owe them anything."

Rooster sighed again, running a hand through his hair in frustration. "I know," he muttered, "But it's just...annoying, you know? They keep pestering me, even though I've made it clear that I'm not interested."

Beatrice nodded in agreement, her heart aching for her husband. "I know it's frustrating," she said softly, "But try not to let it get to you. You have more important things to focus on."

“I know,gorgeous.” he mutters, then pats his lap so she’d settle on it, “I know it’s just…ugh,I don’t know, part of me wonders if I should…just go.”

Beatrice settled into Rooster's lap, her arms wrapping around his neck as she looked into his eyes with concern. "Do you really think you should?" she asked softly,uncertain in her tone. "I mean, if it's causing you this much stress, maybe it's not worth it."

Rooster sighed, leaning into Beatrice's embrace as he mulled over her words. "I don't know," he admitted, his voice tinged with uncertainty. "Part of me feels like I should just suck it up and go, you know? But another part of me just wants to forget about it and move on."

Beatrice nodded in understanding, her fingers gently tracing patterns on Rooster's back. "I get that," she murmured, her voice soothing. "But ultimately, the decision is yours to make. Just know that whatever you choose, I'll support you."

“Hm.”

“What are you thinking now?”

“Just…some of my old teachers will be there– you know, kinda like your reunion was….but,” she clicks his tongue, “I’m just– going to Virginia,now, it’d be a lot…and next week I’ll be deployed.” she could see the hesitation in his eyes, “...I don’t know,I kinda miss them.”

“Well…It's natural to feel nostalgic and want to reconnect with people from your past. But you also have to consider what's best for you right now."

Rooster leaned into Beatrice's touch, his eyes searching hers for reassurance. "Yeah, I know," he murmured, his voice tinged with uncertainty. "I just...don't want to regret not going, you know? But at the same time, I don't want to add more stress to an already busy schedule."

"It's a tough decision," she admitted, "But I know you'll make the right choice. And whatever you decide, I'll be right there beside you. Do you want me to go with you?"

“If I go? Fuck yeah I do.”

“...really?”

"Of course," Rooster replied with a small smile, his eyes softening as he looked at Beatrice. "Having you by my side would make it a lot easier."

Beatrice returned his smile,"I'll go with you," she said firmly, "Whatever you decide, I'll be there to support you."

Rooster's smile widened at Beatrice's words, a wave of gratitude washing over him. "Thank you, gorgeous," he murmured, leaning in to press a tender kiss to her lips. "You're the best thing that's ever happened to me."

Beatrice melted into the kiss, her heart fluttering in her chest as she wrapped her arms around Rooster's neck. They stayed like that for a moment, lost in each other's embrace, before pulling away with reluctant smiles.

"Okay," Rooster said, after a while. "I'll go to the reunion."

You sure?”

“....hrm…not really but,i feel like if i don’t I…I don’t know.”

Beatrice nodded, a sense of relief washing over her. "Well I'll be right there with you, every step of the way."

Rooster smiled gratefully at Beatrice, his heart overflowing with love for her. "Thank you," he said sincerely, "I don't know what I'd do without you."

They sat together in comfortable silence, the weight of Rooster's decision lifting from his shoulders. Beatrice sensed Rooster's inner turmoil and reached out to squeeze his hand reassuringly. "It's okay to be nervous," she said softly,. “But you’ll be okay"

Rooster smiled gratefully at Beatrice, a sense of warmth spreading through his chest. "Thank you," he murmured, his voice barely above a whisper. “I will.”

“When do we leave?”

They sat together in comfortable silence, the weight of Rooster's decision lifting from his shoulders. Beatrice sensed Rooster's inner turmoil and reached out to squeeze his hand reassuringly. "It's okay to be nervous," she said softly, her voice filled with understanding. “But you’ll be okay."

Rooster smiled gratefully at Beatrice, a sense of warmth spreading through his chest. "Thank you," he murmured, his voice barely above a whisper. “I will.”

“When do we leave?”

“Uh…this Saturday, I think?”

Beatrice nodded, mentally preparing herself for the upcoming trip. "Alright,we'll make sure everything is ready by then."

“Hah…yeah…” god he hopes he wouldn’t regret it, “Me too.”

🟣Thu morning - ISRAEL REALTIME - Connecting to Israel in Realtime

▪️ASSUMED DEAD HOSTAGES.. (Ynet via Wall Street Journal) The number of hostages still alive may be much lower than what is believed in Israel, and may only reach 50. Wall Street Journal via mediators in the negotiations for the deal and an American official familiar with intelligence obtained by the US. Meaning 66 of those assumed being held captive in Gaza likely dead.

▪️MIN OF RELIGIOUS SERVICES - READY FOR BURIALS.. "The Ministry of Religious Services, which is in charge of the burial, is preparing itself for big scenarios in the north.”

▪️CORRECTION - US CARRIER BATTLEGROUP INBOUND (to Israel)?  NO - fake news. The report was: “CNN: The aircraft carrier Ford and accompanying fleet are on their way to the coast of Haifa in the north of the country.”

▪️EVERY PEEP OF ISRAELI POLITICS FOLLOWED.. (Amit Segal) A friend from the Emirates called today to find out when the government is collapsing. He follows Al Jazeera which reports on every peep in the government.  In the eyes of the terrorist network and its supporters, this is not a conflict in the coalition or politics, but more holes in the Zionist ship.

▪️HEZBOLLAH TOLD THE US ENVOY..

1. Hezbollah told the mediator that no threat to them will work.

2. If Israel wants to start a war - Israel should take into account that Iran that will intervene militarily and join Hezbollah (first time hearing this from a Hezbollah source).

3. Israel will face massive launches from Iran and Lebanon.

4. The reason for the publication of the video of the Hizbullah 'Dukifat' drone - because Hochstein conveyed messages that Israel gave an ultimatum to Hizbullah until the 26th of the month, in response Hizbullah threatened Israel again.

5. The 48-hour ceasefire was not because of the Feast of the Sacrifice, but a coordination between Iran and the US to lower tensions ahead of the envoys visit.

▪️RED SEA SHIPPING ATTACK via SUICIDE BOAT.. bomb laden drone boats are now being used by the Houthis, and are what hit and sank the Greek bulk carrier ship in the Red Sea.

.. US CENTCOM: in the last 24 hours destroyed two Houthi suicide boats in the Red Sea. In addition, destroyed two command and control stations of the Houthis.

▪️AID PIER.. contrary to many mainstream media reports, the US has reconnected the floating dock in Gaza after seas calmed.

▪️PROTESTS.. small group of protestors blocked the Ayalon highway north near La Guardia, “120 abductees are still being held captive by Hamas in Gaza, and the most burning issue on the agenda is political deals, exemption from conscription and appointing rabbis. Israeli government, cabinet - wake up!”

A small group blocked the Einat intersection with the same banners as well.

In most cases large professionally printed banners show these are planned and well financed protests.

▪️AIR TRAVEL.. A record number of passengers in Israel since the beginning of the war - today about 62,200 passengers will pass through Ben Gurion Airport on 376 incoming and outgoing international flights: about 33,300 will leave, about 28,900 will enter.  That remains much lower that before the war due to airline capacity, higher flight costs and reduced tourism.

▪️TAXES.. Treasury plan for 2025: child allowances and wages in the public sector will be cut, the sugar tax (sweetened drinks) will be returned. And also recommend a cut in the (discretionary) coalition funds and improving financial efficiency in the IDF.

♦️COUNTER-TERROR - TULKARM.. overnight IDF forces operating in Tulkarm.

♦️COUNTER-TERROR - Jenin.. IDF forces operating in Jenin this morning, 2 arrested.

⭕ HAMAS attacks Aid Transfer Port Kerem Shalom, via ROCKETS this morning - - again.

[leoneliterary]

Um, there seems to be an error with new demo: "startup line 376: Non-existent command 'sm_init'". Also, could you please elaborate a bit more on which new paths were added (so that would be easy to find them in the new playthrough)?

The first issue should now be resolved and picking the option to steal from the royal library opens up new paths.

September Comics Round-Up

Did not make my schedule of one year per week but also 1967 had 17 titles to read so I think that's okay.

Action Comics (336-371) (1966-1969)

The superman understanding of the ancient Greek pantheon/mythos is the messiest bullshit i have ever seen. 1! Never acknowledges that wonderwoman exists! 2! Completely mixes up greek and Roman names for gods. 3! Sooo many randos get upgraded to gods usually Achilles but most notably just now: prometheus???

Superman (183-213) (1966-1969)

Okay one of the oddest conceits that they like to have superman do is, when he needs an emergency Clark Kent double, he finds a random amnesia patient about the same size gets them to dress up as him, and then afterwards cures their amnesia, which almost always wiped out their memories of portraying Clark Kent (i don't think it works that way??) Where is he finding all these people just wandering around?

Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen (91-117) (1966-1969)

Whelp, it's more Jimmy, nothing really new to say.

Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane (63-89) (1966-1969)

They are getting a bit more modern and experimental with Lois's fashion and hair and I'm really enjoying it. On the other hand I had to read, with my very own eyes, and editor letter response that said "everyone knows women can't keep a secret" in answer to why Jarvis gets to know Bruce's identity but Lois can't know Clark's.

World's Finest Comics (156-182) (1966-1969)

I think WF is #1 for number of "imaginary tales" but I particularly liked the one where the Kent's adopted Bruce after his parents death. Jimmy and Dick's friendship continues to delight.

Superboy (127-153) (1966-1969)

I love Insect-Queen Lana more than anything else going on in this run, lana's love of bugs and whole-hearted embrace of the weird body horror transformations adds such an interesting facet to her character I love her. Also it is extremely funny of them to deage ma and pa by editorial order via an alien tv director deaging them to please his possible sponsers.

Adventure Comics (342-376) (1966-1969)

This is starting to get a little bit plotty almost! I'm enjoying it a lot. I'm also enjoying that we are starting to get character building moments out of uniform. The Ghost of Ferro Lad story about had me in tears! However! Save me from anti-feminism sixties story that is supposed to be happening a thousand years from now.

Aquaman (26-43) (1966-1969)

Garth nickname collection: Little Sardine, Sardine, Tadpole, Little Minnow, Minnow. Orm has shown up! I'm really liking him actually his unknowing uncleness to aquababy is v cute and fun. Speaking of aquababy I am expecting him to die any day now I am constantly surprised that he's still alive.

Green Lantern (43-58) (1966-1968)

Loving the artist team on this honestly, everyone is so fluid and expressive, and Hal's waist is snatched all the time. The split into two bodies issue really made me fall in love with plain old Hal Jordan, he's just so good even/especially when he is just a guy. Also, I love it when Hal uses the invisible power lantern as a weapon.

Justice League of America (34-60) (1965-1968)

Same old justice league stuff. Issue 57 is one of the worst things I've read in a while and I'm so not surprised that it hasn't been collected in any trades (judging by its lack of digital colors)

The Brave and the Bold (58-81) (1965-1969)

1967 is truly a guessing game of "which flavor of racist will we be today?" Will we be anti-indigenous? Anti-asian? Anti-black (no, no then we'd have to admit black people exist, better scratch that and make it "anti-robot") I'm so tired they think they're being so progressive with these storylines about "look at how well this culture is assimilating! The mystic old ways of their people are at once the enemy and something to be revered. From a distance tho. Wouldn't want to get too close." Its not just a Brave and the Bold problem but a bunch of it just happened in a row in that title so this is where I'm complaining.

Doom Patrol (94-121) (1965-1968)

Okay I knew it would happen but i still cried when they died... literally took me two pages to go from "la-di-da" to tears damn..... Rita my darling I'll miss you!!! I can't believe that we don't get a reaction comic for Gar and Steve tho.... just bam, they're dead, it's over. People in the sixties u've really let me down by letting it end this way.... more people should have written in.

Hawkman (12-27) (1966-1968)

This continues to be really good! Despite being extremely 60s-brained they try as hard as possible to show katar and shayera as equals in everything they do, its not katar saving her every time (tho he does a lot of the time it is still 60s brained) recommended if you are interested in the hawks and thanagar!

House of Mystery (156-173) (1966-1968)

Dial H for Hero is a v fun little set up, and I am sort of obsessed with Robbie's little catchphrase/ exclamation "sockamagee!" They gave me one (1) issue where his friend who is a girl finds out his identity and gets to try out the dial herself, only to them have her bungle everything and lose her memory of it because she's "just a girl" I hate it here (the 60s). J'onn J'onzz continues in the backups and continues to boot be what i expect. He's investigating crimes now but he is also committing identity fraud to do it (impersonating a millionaire that he saw die)

Metamorpho (1-17) (1965-1968)

Rex <3 Sapphire forever i love them! They really go overboard on the 60s slang in this title to the point where I am really not sure that anyone actually talked like that. The way smaller titles bend over backwards to pretend superman doesn't exist for their plots to work is honestly a little endearing. Rex literally hanging out with the guy in JLA, but noooo aliens are mysterious and uncommon, and the president is Definitely gonna call Rex Mason about them. Not a huge fan of the love triangle introduced, and it gets down right bizarre at the end with a bit of a cliffhanger, but overall worth a read if you are into Metamorpho!

Teen Titans (1-13) (1966-1968)

Rereading because the titans are my darlings. I especially love the little bits at the start of the issue where they are just kids hanging out.

The Spectre (1-10) (1967-1969)

I really love Neal Adam's art it's got a really delicate touch and dramatic shading, and he does figures really well. Also a shout out to Jerry Grandenetti/Murphy Anderson for some truly inspired panel layouts and lettering stuff, you don't get a lot of this back in the 60s. They decided to tell an entirely different sort of story for the last two issues and it is not a neat transition tbh.

Showcase (73-80) (1968-1969)

Some fun character intros for the creeper, hawk and dove, bat lash (surprise fave, what a guy), and dolphin, and some other guys too.

Anywho, that's that for September! Here's how my spreadsheet is looking:

As u can see I have given in and decided to go back and pick up The Atom, so I have that to look forward to in October!
