#not cool raven

[amnhnyc]

Have you ever seen a white Common Raven (Corvus corax)? No, this isn’t a new species… or a ghost. 👻 This Raven’s striking pale plumage is the result of the genetic mutations leucism or albinism. Leucism is a reduction in all types of pigmentation, including melanin. Albinism is the inability to produce or distribute melanin. One hint to tell the difference? Individuals affected by leucism often have blue eyes, while individuals with albinism have pink eyes. White Common Ravens are rare. An estimated 1 in 30,000 individuals is born without this species’ signature black plumage.

something I like about Blue Sargent is that she’s so believably seventeen years old. she misses her mom and yearns to keep her friendships and also to pursue her future and grow. she insults her cousin to her face but loves and is very protective of her. she wears fingerless gloves to cemeteries to look cool even though she knows trying to look cool will bite her in the ass, she monologues about how if she opens her pink switchblade she’s sure she’ll cut herself as a sensible teen but also monologues about how she looves the idea of herself as a badass with a switchblade, and then she does indeed open it and cut herself and connects it to her emotional hurt. she’s both self-conscious and confident, and highly pretentious. She’s a one thousand year old condescending brat who wishes she was surrounded by fellow one thousand year old condescending brats at all times. she’s impulsive and idealistic and empathetic and sensible and stubborn and judgemental and curious and compassionate and playful and fiercely loving. she’s a fanciful sensible thing, she’s good but she’s not nice, she’s brave because she’s full of fear. I love her

still can't believe how completely WRONG raven clocked charles and we never got any resolution to it!! she straight up hated him in dark phoenix (poorly written tbh since SHE was the one who trained the students after Apocalypse & came to the mansion demanding they get trained for battle). she hated him and there was no resolution between them!! no final understanding or conversation. she just died doing what charles said would kill her (fuck w Jean when Jean's powers were uncontrolled, just like how Jean killed her mom).

Raven was all about how it was so painful to hide her mutation yet it was Charles, ultimately, who ended up being the one who couldnt ever really express his ability- Charles was the one humans and mutants shunned. And he knew this, experienced it, and was trying to protect Raven from it. Just like he was trying to protect Jean. Sure, he wasn't perfect, but he was definitely never even close to villainous lol.

Charles' telepathy was horrifying to humans and repulsive to mutants, whereas Raven was seen as a hero by mutants & a freedom fighter empowered by her appearance by humans.

anyway im so mad Raven & Charles never got their sibling reconciliation. Charles (after the plane ride in DOFP) tried really hard to see Raven on her terms and their relationship improved - and Raven appreciated his understanding.

but then the writers of Apocalypse/Dark Phoenix crumpled that up instead of building on it.

what happened to "There's going to be a time, Hank, when we're all together" ?!?!? excuse me??

Is that gojo

I wonder what his name will be

YEAH I SAWYHE nEW PV (thankfully this one was uploaded as a video on Twitter so no region locking :>)

SO IT’S A TWSisTED!JAck cHARACTER???? I see elements in his design that may be references to other Nightmare characters as well. The stitching on the sleeves (Sally?) and the glasses are like the ones her father wears but also like skeleton’s eye sockets. Maybe the hair accessory/crown is also a reference to the doctor??

AYO I’M SO HYPE, I LOVE JACK SkellinGTON, I WAS A JACk SiELLINGON GIRLIE 😭 First came the Fellowives… now prepare yourselves for the uprising of the Skellingspouses… (<- so ready to stan him) A agagavaganwjkw TREY AnD VIL WOULD bE APPALLE d BY HIS TEeTYH AnD LiP dz BUGT ITmS OKSY

I can’t wait to learn more on the ABEMA stream!!! It’s going to take place on the 29th (7pm JST)!!! OTL That’s a little odd… In previous years, the Halloween ABEMA has historically been mid-October but it is much earlier this year! Sussy…

[modmad]

How do you deal with people who don’t like your comic/art/stuff? sorry if too personal, dont have to answer

I make lemonade. you want oranges go to an orange stand and quit complaining that I only sell lemonade.

fortunately it is extremely rare that I encounter someone stupid enough to ask me why I do not sell oranges at my lemonade stand (shrug, block, forget they ever existed, repeat)
