#the forever people

[littlekidsteve]

I'm actually reading the forever people right now and I love it like honestly so under rated

hey! i was wondering if you had any recs for getting into new gods comics? i’ve been wanting to for a while but have been struggling to find good reading guides haha! and i know i need to be prepared by the time ram v’s series drops😔🙏🙏

Hi! I'm obsessed with the New Gods right now, but it's a pretty new fandom to me. I had read New Gods by Kirby a few years ago, but I had never gone fully deep in the comics like now, soooo I haven't read EVERYTHING yet, but let's go

Well, the place to start is with the King of Comics himself: Jack Kirby's Fourth World. So we have:

- New Gods (1971)

- Mister Miracle (1971)

- Forever People (1971)

They're all fantastic and I really love them

If you're a completionist, you can also read Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #133-148

There's also the graphic novel Hunger Gods. It's not really canon (the next writers ignore what happens there), but it's part of Kirby's Fourth World and worth checking out

Everything aside of Kirby is... Controversial, to say the least

We have

- Justice League International (1987): Honestly one of the comics I'm the most fond of. It's not really a New Gods story, but it's worth checking out if you want more of them

- Forever People: I haven't actually read this one cause I wanted to jump to Orion and Scott & Barda, but it's pretty short (only 6 issues) so you could check it out. I know I will in the future

- Cosmic Odyssey: An interesting story, but... I really don't like its take on Orion and other characters

- New Gods (1989): Basically continues Cosmic Odyssey. Again, there's some interesting concepts, but... I don't like it. Maybe you will! But it was just frustrating to me

- Mister Miracle (1989): I like it! The first issues by DeMatteis have the same vibe of the JLI and it's pretty fun. The rest of the series is more inconsistent, but overall worth checking it out

- New Gods (1995): I'm enjoying it so far!

- JLA (1997): This is entirely skipable cause they're not the focus, but I like it as a story if you're REALLY craving for more

- Orion (2000): I haven't read it yet, but everyone says it's great. I can definitely @ you later when I get there 🫡

- Mister Miracle (2017): This is THE most controversial one. It's by Tom King, a guy who I'm not the biggest fan of (see: ex CIA in 2003). I think it's definitely worth checking out if you're into his writing style cause it's honestly one of his best works, but his Orion and Lightray are simply terrible. His Scott and Barda are good tho so...? Eh 🤷‍♀️

- Barda (2024) by Ngozi Ukazu: My biggest recommendation. It's just so good!!!!!!

There's also Final Crisis. Plus plenty of comics I know basically nothing about, like Seven Soliders: Mister Miracle or Bug! The Adventures of Forager

I honestly think if you read Kirby's Fourth World, you'll already be prepared for Ram V's The New Gods

So good luck and I really hope you enjoy it as much as I have!

I think one of the kindest things you can do for people with various mental health struggles is just... let people back into your life after they've been absent for a while.

Making friends as an adult is so fucking hard already and isolating yourself from other people is a very common symptom of depression, anxiety, burnout, ocd, trauma, grief, etc. Which means that someone will do the hard work of recovery/healing and resurface back into a world where their previous friends have written them off because they stopped showing up.

So if you know someone where you're like "yeah we could have been better friends but they fell off the map a bit" and that person suddenly reaches out, or starts showing up to events even though you kind of forgot they were still in the group chat... well they may have been Going Through It and you don't actually have to punish them for their absence you can just be glad that they're back.

Due to irl issues, fourthworldweek will have to be postponed. Please let me know which of the below options would work best for you:

If my mom sees a significant amount of blood she gets lightheaded, and has fainted on some occasions. Once it happened when we were kids, I wasn't there to witness it but I heard the story from my dad. Basically my brothers, around 7 or 8 at the time, were playing outside while my mom was making their lunch, and she accidentally cut her finger. It wasn't anything serious, but it drew a fair bit of blood and she passed out. My dad saw this and rushed over, but he didn't really know what to do so he just sort of started slapping her to wake her up (not recommended, but he had no idea and panicked)

At that exact moment my brothers both came in from playing, and all they saw was our mom unconscious on the floor and our dad slapping her. So, like, without even saying a word to each other they both just INSTANTLY start whaling on him, like, full blown attack mode to defend our mom. Which obviously didn't help the situation, but she did wake up and everything was fine.

Now our dad says that he's actually really glad they attacked him over what they thought was going on, because it means he raised good boys. And I still think that's true, they're very good boys.

"life doesnt get better, you just get stronger" does NOT include ages 11-17. life does in fact just get better from there. those years are dogshit. like, you do get stronger but its mostly just a factor of not being 11-17 anymore. positive thinking helps but it doesnt fix whatevers going on at 15, you have to brute force through that one raw
