"Till death and beyond"
!! Slight spoilers !!
Seeing how the last season of 97 ended I'm really exited for feral wolverine. And how Storm and Morph will handle him, wherever they all are.
One thing is clear though. Wolverine never gave up on Morph and they are definitely not giving up on him either!

I have wanted to try making a Comic cover for a while now and finally here it is!

Thinking about a Durge who has rejected Bhaal, and whatever person they used to be, but still secretly longs for their lost memories. A Durge that, despite the answers the man could give them, would never re-ignite that strange passion they were shown they once had for Gortash. A Durge that has, for all purposes to the others in their party, moved on. A Durge that, six months after that day atop the Netherbrain, at a party celebrating their new life, receives a strange letter with an even stranger gadget hidden inside.
The meeting at the inauguration was a strange one. Despite Gortash's very obvious elation at seeing what he'd called his 'dearest friend', the man had no hesitation very proudly detailing the Dark Urge's grand scheme; their grand design for the world to be.
In front of all their friends and 'new' lover, of course.
They were furious, and rightly so. Gortash must have known what he was doing. To isolate them, to bring them back to him. The person who accepted them for all they were, all they are, and all they could be - together.
It wasn't enough to win the Dark Urge back to him, and although they'd tentatively teamed up in the end - he had died. Not by the Urge's hand, but in some ways, his own. The group had left Gortash's body within the Prism, and simply moved on. There were bigger problems, and no one really was sad to see him go. Right?
The Urge remembers a letter found in Moonrise Towers. Gortash liked gadgets, according to Ketheric. Evidence was abundant enough with the Steel Watchers, among other things. The item is strangely shaped, entirely too small, and with a simple touch, comes to life.
It reminds them of the strange picture they had seen at the Iron Throne. Gortash's visage shone through a glass, moving, talking - warning them to leave. Answering them, praising them for listening.
What a strange contraption, they'd thought all those months ago.
And then, now, there he was again. A picture, in their hand. A moving picture. Speaking with his voice, wearing his weary face - so, so weary - but not the same as before.
This had passed already. The voice did not answer them this time. It was simply impossible - the man was dead, but not quite gone in this moment.
He speaks of the inauguration like it had just happened. His joy at seeing his favourite 'assassin' again, which he says with a sad smile and a moment of silence. A heavy sigh follows, rubbing at his eyes - which they can see are so much darker than they last remember.
He is tired.
Gortash speaks of their time together, before Orin - and how Orin torments him day and night now that they had both confirmed the Urge's return. She appears with their face, taunting him some days. Other days she sends assassins that wear the same, and he simply cannot let his guard down anymore. But he knew it was them that day.
They can see the exhaustion that pulls down his features, makes his words heavier. This is not the Archduke speaking to him in this moment - it is a tired, broken down man that has just seen a ghost.
Yet they cling to every word anyway, because even though this is a broken down man who is terrified of the ghost - the man still hopes the ghost will remember him, too.
They don't. But he doesn't know that, not this little picture of him, anyway.
The picture says that if they are seeing this recording, it means he is already dead - and although he had planned to sway them back to his side, he may not have been given the chance, and refuses to allow the opportunity to share what the two of them once had slip away.
He would gift unto them the memories that he could, even beyond death. The bloody ones, the happy ones, the painful ones.
And he talks, he smiles, he even cries.
And so do they.

"You're passable at demo. You're excellent at hostage." That was cruel, but that was Kaz. And the Barrel was a far rougher teacher than Kaz could ever be.
-Page 120 (directed at Wylan, Jesper's POV)
"You'll manage," Kaz said, though he knew asking Jesper to spend the night in a gambling den without placing a bet was a particular kind of cruelty.
-Page 131 (directed at Jesper, Kaz's POV)
Karma's a bitch, but nowhere near as big a bitch as Kaz Brekker.
Snark aside, it's hard to know if this is exactly a parallel when there's a lot of cruelty flying around whenever Kaz is... Kaz.
But it does demonstrate how Jesper doesn't really fit in the Barrel.
Oh, his skill set is great, he's valuable and useful and having fun, but deep down he acknowledges on the Ferolind that he's been more and more anxious, and pages 130-131 are just a cluster of Kaz needling Jesper emotionally. In Kaz's first narrated chapter (chapter 3, page 36) he has an exchange with Jesper--the first one on one conversation in which we see Jesper, and it's clear he's upset. Kaz knows that. Jesper doesn't like being kept in the dark--he feels slighted. The danger isn't the problem, the interpersonal exchanges, the mistrust, the Kaz of it all? That's the problem.
This actually carries on to Jesper's interaction with Inej (pages 61-62) when she fires Rojakke. Jesper doesn't act Barrel. He doesn't think Barrel. Inej knows she needs to handle this conflict herself and be seen as strong (which she is), but Jesper starts to get up because someone he cares about is being threatened. He never treats her as less or weaker for being a girl, so it can be assumed here that this isn't a gendered thing, it's just Inej, who's his friend, who shouldn't have to be alone right now.
Part of what's so fascinating about Jesper is that he genuinely doesn't fit in. He's exceptional and charismatic (some might argue that book characters can't be, but you tell me Jesper's dialogue doesn't just sparkle on your heart!) so it's easy to overlook how little he belongs.
Jesper's feelings for Wylan eventually do lead him to get in Kaz's way--hesitantly and minimally, yes, but those little steps have big echoes. And it's interesting to see that little split starting here, with Jesper acknowledging but hand-waving Kaz's cruelty mere pages before being barbed by it.

Brucie Wayne gets interviewed and the question who, expect Batman, is his favorite Gotham hero.
After some awkward moments of silence, he blurts out that it’s Spoiler. Since she is the only one from the main active team that isn’t his kid and this way he avoids picking a favorite.
Meanwhile, the group chats explodes into chaos instantly.

Hot take: the Spiderverse movies are quite possibly the most relatable superhero movies I’ve ever experienced because I’ve never seen a superhero movie nail the ‘being queer and closeted’ experience down to a T
Like the AMOUNT of experiences they get down so well is just
- not feeling accepted anywhere, even within your own community sometimes, feeling like a mistake no matter where you go
- hiding half your identity from your parents (I swear to god that scene where Miles is about to tell Rio he’s Spiderman in ATSV is literally me trying to come out to my parents and chickening out, it hurt to watch)
- fearing rejection from your parents (“Dad, do you really hate Spiderman?”)
- finding out the people you look up to and trust wouldn’t accept you and would actually try to harm you and the sheer terror that comes from it (god the Prowler reveal in the first movie still hurts me)
- gravitating more and more towards friends who are also queer because they get you (aka the spideys from different dimension just gravitating together)
- just. having a secret identity, in general
- the underlying theme of the movies that despite anything, despite the world rejecting you, despite your own community rejecting you, you are valid and you are loved and you should never forget that (which is not an inherently queer experience but g o d)
I could go on, but. Just. Dammit, these movies mean so much to me.

Here's final act bird boy because I don't think just the princess should have a sick ass final boss form. Also if you know where I got the whole "wings have eyes and each represents one of the voices and they can speak to him" thing, uh, *throws smoke bomb*

I'm having SO many S2Act2 thoughts so I'm going to focus on something that wasn't on my bingo card even remotely:
The fact that Cait having rebound sex with Maddie is like... the lesbian equivalent of some shitty tortured dudebro detective screwing his younger assistant who idolises him. It's such a typical masculine action movie character trait but they gave it to HER.

Hello! I was just wondering in reference to the most recent chapter - what words do they use for “sun god”? Is it the same as what is used when describing “sun god nika”?
good question! it's not exactly the same, although it's close. nika is referred to as 太陽の神/taiyou no kami, 'the god of the sun.'
Tumblr media
the 'sun god' we're introduced to in the most recent chapter is referred to with a title that uses the same kanji, but not identically. instead it's called 太陽神/taiyoushin, which is an established term to mean 'sun god/solar deity.' 神/shin is the kanji for 'god,' which can also be pronounced kami or gami. when the sun god is addressed respectfully by the inhabitants of the block world, they use the very respectful sama honorific as well, referring to it as taiyoushin-sama.
Tumblr media
the fact that this new sun god's title is all one word both distinguishes it from nika and makes it more closely match the titles of the other 'gods' we're introduced to inside the block world, which are also given as single words- for example, the giant rabbit we're told about is 耳神/mimigami, the 'ear god.'
