Open starter!
C.J was sitting at Zeus's Fist, his feet hanging over the ledge as he sang along to the music coming from his phone, his voice slurring like he was drunk
"Wasted away again in Margaritaville..." he sang "Searchin for my lost shaker of salt.."

What runs/stories do you recommend for someone starting WW? Could you please be specific (/nicely)
Yeah ofc!
My Wonder Woman Starter Recs (specific style 😎)
First stops: for an initial introduction to Wonder Woman, I'd generally recommend going to at least one of three places first. These three are:
Wonder Woman: Historia: The Amazons by Kelly Sue DeConnick
Wonder Woman: Year One by Greg Rucka
Wonder Woman: the Hiketeia by Greg Rucka
Of these I generally recommend reading Historia first, as it's a retelling of the origin of the Amazons as a race and how Diana came to be (so it essentially starts from the beginning) and is also the most recent of the them (if that means anything). Something to note about Historia though is that it's a DC Black Label book, so it's events aren't strictly canon in the main DCU and there are some changes and new elements present. I don't think this is something that should discourage anyone from reading it though, it's the best WW origin story out there, and even in strict main canon over the years her origin is one that has had many fluctuations and small (& sometimes big) changes. WW:Historia is three prestige format (longer) issues.
You'll notice the third book there is WW: The Hiketeia. Hiketeia is a great book if you're looking for a view into Diana as a professional and experienced hero. It's a graphic novel so standalone and not too long, and has a great Diana and really interesting plot (Diana vows to protect a young woman and finds herself pressed against the wheels of Greek Tragedy). This is also the first work with Diana done by Greg Rucka, one of her most prolific and loved writers. A sampling of this work (and also Historia) I think gives a good guide to where to go next in terms of runs on her main title.
Wonder Woman: Year One is the second book on the list up there, but I'm mentioning it last here as it's a bit more complicated in terms of format. Unlike other year one books, WW: Year One is actually a series of issues on her main title, showcasing Diana's arrival to man's world in Rebirth (and also current p sure) continuity. The issue numbering for this one is strange (only the even issues 2-14 on WW (2016)) so I recommend looking for this in trade form if possible.
These 3 books I think give a taste of some of the best standalone stuff in the Wonder Woman mythos, and give the reader a good idea of where they may want to go next in terms of longer runs on the title. So I'll break that down here as a Step 2.
STEP 2: WHERE NEXT?
Here I break down some highly recommended runs based on what they have in common with the standalone books from step 1. As a rule, these runs are going to be much longer than the above and generally more connected to the wider DCU and other books. Look for the italics to see the introduction to each new work. Explanation paragraphs follow after each italic/bold rec.
Curious about Greek mythology in WW and the Amazons' origins after reading Historia? Liked the prescence of a supporting cast and Diana learning about Man's World from Year One? Willing to read a longer run? I recommend: Wonder Woman by George Pérez
George Pérez's time on Wonder Woman totally reinvented the character after Crisis on Infinite Earths, and is fundamental in establishing many core concepts of her lore. At 62 issues, 2 annuals, and a 4-issue crossover event at the end (War of the Gods), it's definitely a commitment to read, but it's the most enduring and well-loved run on Wonder Woman for a reason--it's just that damn good. Lots of focus on mythology (although with a lighter tone than Historia) alongside Diana learning her role in relation to Man's World & establishing herself as a hero and ambassador. Pérez's run also has almost-certainly the most expansive and developed supporting cast in WW comics, something that really drives the emotional core of the series, especially in later issues. Obligatory note that this series was written between 1987 and 1992 and contains some very occasional aspects that I thought were in some way dated/uncomfortable etc. while reading (details of Cheetah's origin, depiction of the Bana-Mighdall, Hercules) but despite that I still highly, highly recommend this run. The word fundamental cannot begin to describe it.
Liked the experienced Diana of the Hiketeia? Interested to see her attempt to balance the high stakes responsibilities of an ambassador and superhero? Looking for some really badass moments and fights? Haven't read enough terrible tragedy? I suggest: Wonder Woman by Greg Rucka 2003 EDITION.
Some of Diana's coolest moments of all time are collected here. Also one of her most controversial. The 1st Rucka run is very much the story for anyone who liked the Diana of the Hiketeia and the tragedy of that and Historia. 2003 Rucka Diana is a Diana tested, forced to make decisions that are anything but easy, and live with the consequences. She's extraordinarily capable, but her enemies know that and are prepared to that end. This run, along with the Pérez run, rank among my favorite Wondy comics of all time (those and Historia are my top 3). This run is such peak Diana, especially in terms of sheer badassery. Her final confrontation with Medusa is in my opinion perhaps the greatest Wonder Woman fight scene of all time. Her encounter with Athena in the second-to-last issue breaks me every time. Cannot recommend this book more.
*a note abt this run is that it is more context-dependent than the other ones listed here, as it's the run that finishes out the Wonder Woman vol. 2 book and so has some guest appearances from characters introduced in other prior runs (Artemis of Bana-Mighdall, Cassie Sandsmark, and Vanessa Kapatelis, to name a few). I read this run before knowing much (if anything) about any of them, and still enjoyed it a lot, so I wouldn't be worried about this really but just thought I'd mention it.
Rucka's 2003 run is published from Wonder Woman (1987) #195-226. You can also find it in trade and I believe(?) omnibus. Sometimes the Hiketeia is included in collections of this series, as the 03 run is thematically similar in many places, just with a much deeper look at Diana and the world & with higher stakes.
Liked the specific characters and plot threads of Wonder Woman: Year One? Want to see what happens with Diana's exile, or learn more about Barbara Ann? Want a Diana in between the extremes of young and highly experienced? Wonder Woman by Greg Rucka 2016 EDITION may be for you.
...yes I'm putting ANOTHER Rucka book on here. He writes a great Diana, what can I say. This run is the same one that Year One came out of, just the follow ups to that story and versions of the characters. I have this run listed as separate from Year One though, as there's some really big time skips since the events of that first volume. A lot of time has passed since then, and there's more history between the characters, not all of it without drama. This run continues to be weird with the numbering, as well as some artist changes, so I definitely recommend looking into reading this in trade format (physical or digital) if at all possible. My recommended reading order is WW 2016 by Rucka vol. 2 "The Lies" (Wonder Woman: Rebirth Special #1, followed by 2016 main title odd numbered issues 1-11), then Rucka 16 vol. 3 "The Truth" (odds 13-23) then Godwatch (evens 16 through 24) followed by 25? But The Truth and Godwatch combine near the end so that doesn't really work either. This run is so good but recommending it is such a pain because the numbering is so all over the place. On God I never know which order to read this in. Going to revoke my previous statement and say read it as Rebirth Special 1, then only odds 1 through 11, then from 13 through 25 normally. That may lead to some weirdness as you read because the two stories take place at different times and have different art styles, but they come together at the end pretty dramatically so I think it's less confusing to read it this way? Maybe? So strange bc this is one of the go to good starter runs and yet it's set up so unintuitively. If someone has a better way to read this then let me know and ill edit, ik this explanation is super confusing bc neither way to read it is totally ideal imo and I feel I definitely read it in a weird order.
Going to call that a good rundown of some of my greatest recommendations in terms of Wonder Woman comics. If anything wasn't fully clear here or anyone (not just anon) has questions or wants to talk abt WW comics/my choices feel free to send as many asks or dms as you want. Have a good day everybody, & as Diana says, may the glory of Gaea be with you <3

HEY YOU KNOW WHAT'S GREAT TO HAVE?
Tumblr media
A portable car jumper!
If you need a jump, you can be on your way in a matter of minutes with one of these. Also you can use them to charge your phone if you need to. My kit includes all the cords you need (although mine's older so I really should replace the phone charging cord).
I had to use mine today, as my battery's been wonky and today it was done. Keep it charged (topping it off every 2-3 months should be fine - put it on your calendar with a reminder).
Here's a link to the one pictured (there are lots of models).

open starter call!
Tumblr media
i did this ages ago and honestly have been mulling over the idea - i think open starters are fun because they're just that, open to anyone and can be a good icebreaker or a way to start interactions and they're just a fun way of putting yourself out there, so i'm gonna do this again! basically, to sum it up - one like equals one open starter, that anyone is welcome to respond to if they wish to - if nobody does, no worries, i'll just periodically reblog them! i'm just looking to start 2024 by putting myself out there more and although a bit scary, i think this will be a fun step and i can't wait to write with some folks!

The Calm After the Storm
Tumblr media
It had been so loud. Every sense thrumming, drowning in it, as all that magic arced through the air and slammed into her. Now, in it's absence, the world felt quiet. And Agatha? Agatha felt more alive than she ever had…like she'd never truly noticed what it felt like to fully be aware of her own body.
It was with new eyes, she looked around at her coven. Girls and Women she had grown up with, of whom she only ever managed to fake comradery with…never well enough. Whatever she tried, they always saw through it. Agatha had always been kept on the sidelines trying to figure out how to break in. Still, she hadn't thought them capable of this. Over what - rules set down by old hags who'd never shared a crumb of Agatha's natural talent?
She stepped down from the pyre, moving over to the only one who really mattered, to Agatha anyway. That was love for you - even after everything, she couldn't help it - Evanora was her mother. It was the moment, in retrospect, that taught her her most important lesson: love was a weakness and she would never be that vulnerable again. The Harkness amulet was Agatha's, by birthright if nothing more…but it would always be more.

Tumblr media Tumblr media
with the crackling of the fire radiating the home, the god knew she could not have wandered too great a distance, but after many weeks parted from her, she was still too far away for his liking. with a deep sigh, fythos strolled out into the starred night, his eyes scanning the serene and safe corner of the realm he had claimed for the pair to reside in. his personal haven. somewhere and someone he could return to after countless blood had been spilled and yet another war had been won in the name of his kind. ❝ i told you not to stray far from the house, ❞ the male warned as a greeting, finally finding his target in the outer reaches of their expansive garden. the low scratch of his voice lacked warmth but instinctively his rough fingers reached towards her face, stopping short of making contact with her flesh and instead curling into palm as he dragged his closed fist back to his side. such impure hands didn't belong on so precious an entity. ❝ what are you doing out here at this hour? ❞

Open Starter
All Genders/Connections Welcome
The last light of the day was finally getting ready to fade out, and Luke knew there was a long night ahead of him as he stoked the fire. Traveling alone wasn't safe, even for people who knew their way through these mountains, but with little choice in the matter, Luke stuck to what he could control. There was enough meat roasting over the fire to keep him filled for the next day, he had plenty of water, and even as the snow began falling, he had a sturdy tent and a decent fire to make it through until morning.
Along the path ahead, though, he could hear the loud thudding of hooves along the frozen earth, and he stood up to make himself known to the passerby.
"Might not want to press too much further tonight. Up ahead is nothing but ice, and the path starts to narrow near the cliffside. Just a word of warning."

𝐖𝐇𝐎 :  jupiter + anyone // @chqstarter ⦗ CLOSED ⦘ 𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 :  night and dine - national waffle day
Tumblr media
       the night and dine was the usual spot where jupiter ended up going to whenever he felt any sort of inspiration for writing. today was no different, but what he was not expecting was the night and dine fully packed with people, and plates filled with stacks of waffles. he completely forgot about waffle day, partaking to this little HOLIDAY in the past. he looked around to see if he could find a spot to sit, but he felt like the only spot available was at the counter. " is anyone sitting here ?? "

for @trickheaven
Tumblr media
This case seemed perfect for Sam, or at least Dean thought as much: as soon as the words "The Return of Jesus" appeared in the local newspaper headlines of Jerusalem, New York, the brothers hit the road and drove past three states between their temporary home to the (ironic) land where the "son of god" was reborn anew, performing miracles for the townsfolk.
On the ride, Sam contemplated the situation and the mixed feelings it provoked. If it were true, he would be curious, excited, and scared all at once—If not, which was far more likely, Sam would be angry, for the lord's name was being used for fame once again, like many times before.
Upon entering the town, the brothers decide to make a first stop near the lake to stretch their legs and look into the spot where Sam had found out "Jesus" had walked on water. The place is desolate, save for a couple of fishermen and religious fanatics who want to tour those shores. A fisherman, in particular, catches Sam's attention, seemingly going over said events with an older woman sporting a walker that's digging into the ground.
The brothers are a little late to hear the whole story, but they approach the man as soon as he finishes.
Tumblr media
"Excuse me, sir.."
Sam starts, with Dean by his side.
"Would you mind telling us the story you were telling the ma'am? We heard about it on the drive here…"

Location: Tails N' Trails Park
As Waverly stood at the edge of the dog park and twirled Frida's leash absentmindedly between her fingers, the petite pitty began to whine. Being pulled back into the present, the blonde glanced down at her pup with a smile. They were meeting Josiah and Xena at the Tails N' Trails like they had a thousand times before, but she was far more anxious than usual. Although on the surface this was just another casual hang and play date for the dogs, the art teacher had another thing on her mind. Although Waverly had made up her mind about asking Josiah to the wedding, actually saying it out loud felt far more difficult than having the idea. Trying to soothe her nerves, she bent down and rubbed Frida's head gently, trying to focus on the velvety texture of the short fur. The tell-tale thump of Frida's tail let the art teacher know Xena and Josiah had arrived. Taking as deep breath, Waverly stood back up and waved with her free hand. Hopefully there was nothing to be nervous about. @josiahhuddington
