Il y a une petite quinzaine, je suis allé avec Julien et Katie, au Louvre-Lens pour une expo temporaire : "Animaux Fantastiques". Une très belle expo ! Ici des dragons et leurs cousins, les dinosaures !

John Martin, illustrateur pour le livre de Thomas Hawkins - "Le Livre des grands dragons de la mer, ichtyosaures et plésiosaures" -Londres,1840

Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins - Iguanodon - Londres,1855 (on est bien loin de la représentation actuelle de ce dinosaure !!) - et...voir le dernier.

les 3 suivants : Rahan, Bibi Fricotin et autres magazines des années 70

Eric Pellé - "Multispecies incroyabilis" (E. Pellé est un préparateur en ostéologie du Muséum national d'Histoire Naturelle)

The spookiest paleoart I've ever seen.

Frontispiece. The book of the great sea-dragons. 1840. The author tries to reconcile the discovery of dinosaur fossils with what the Bible says.

Hawkins was right, those primordial dragons were evil. This one even carries the number of the beast.

Happy Black History month!

Here's some of my favorite Black DC Heroes!

Please tell me some of yours! 😃

Marvel Heroes Addition

[astralejection]

is this a safespace to say i'm so fucking tired of dc mostly using their black characters around/during black history month. because they keep fucking doing that. they ignore amazing characters with amazing potential all the damn time, so then writers never know what to do with them because no one wants to figure out what to do with them. but then come february, suddenly they know what to do with them and they get compelling storylines for either a single issue or just a few pages of an issue. like what the fuck.

(this is mostly abt static and signal, as theyre lowkey two of my all time favorite dc characters, but theyre both severely neglected. static especially)

If your 'tboy swag/transmasc-coded character lineups' don't include any black men,then it dosen't count as trans male representation shnookums🩷Invest less in trying to make incest and grooming look like the ftm experience and more in including niggas in your content as something other than villains

so I've been rewatching Static Shock because of @bearsspace 's Duke and Virgil art, and I'm not even a season in and its already so clear how good they'd get along.

Like Virgil's story focuses on not only actual racism and systemic issues, but the allegory of race within the bang babies/metahumans. Duke's story also does this with We Are Robin and Robin War; the robins are a group of mostly disenfranchised kids who rise up to protect themselves and their communities while being targeted by cops. WAR also makes direct comparisons to racism/systemic issues.

Besides their stories having some similar themes, they're also similar in the way they interact with their communities directly. (Let me mention here that Duke's mom and Virgil's dad are both social workers). Both Duke and Virgil are able to talk and connect with the people they're saving, and this includes the "villains" they encounter who really just need help (ohoho! another part of their stories connected to systemic issues).

Of course a lot of heroes do this but it's special for Virgil and Duke. Virgil's able to connect and help his foes not only because he's a bang baby, but because the standing he already has in his community. Like he spends a lot of time at the community centre and it means a lot to him. One of the things I really love about Virgil is that if he wants to get info on someone he starts knocking on doors and talking to people. It's special for Duke because not only does a big part of his story centre around bringing a community together to protect itself, but in contrast to the rest of the bats, his whole thing is LITERALLY being in the daylight. Like the whole premise of his character is being a beacon, Duke will always have a connection with the public the rest of the bats can't.

I also think it's really funny how both of them almost immediately become superheroes the first chance they got. Like Virgil's bestfriend is like, "You could be a superhero!" and he agrees instantaneously and does it. Duke's kinda just like, "Ugh, I GUESS I'll join this group of vigilantes if you REALLY want me to!" and "What? You want ME to lead this vigilante group? Aw shucks well SOMEONES gotta do it!" and "Not like being a vigilante is important to me or anything but I will literally let nothing including Batman's trained sidekicks stop me." then he jumps out of a moving cop car off a bridge.

Okay so I've binger The Artful Dodger in a day, and I'm so in love with this show. I've started rewatching it as soon as I finished.

Anyways, a thing I noticed that makes me screech because it's cute is that Belle's last name is Fox. Now, in the french version of Oliver Twist, Jack's nickname is translated as Le Renard, which means the fox.

They're LINKED. I don't know if it was intentional but I LOVE IT. And if we don't have season 2 with the two of them being happy and in love I will RIOT.

MC: Oh shoot. MWAF is angry.

Jessy: How can you tell?

Jake: I am no person reader but I think you can read him by his hands. Like right now, he's holding a gun. I don't think that means he's happy to see us.
