Last song: All the Things That I've Done, by the Killers

Favorite colour: purple/violet 💜

Last movie/show: we watched Damsel this afternoon! I liked it a lot, but I can't help thinking I've seen the bones of this film (fairy tale kingdom sacrifices three princesses to a dragon - wait that's fucked up, what if one princess managed to survive) in a Tumblr post somewhere in the last dozen years. Wish I could find it.

Sweet, spicy, savoury: all of them, baby! All at once! (but also not too spicy because I am, in fact, A Baby where spice is concerned)

Relationship status: married in all but name (21 years and counting!)

Last thing I googled: "magic sword dnd 5e" because I'm going to DM a one-shot (set in my one-on-one campaign with my husband) for my husband, my usual DM and his daughter. He (DM) made a warlock proficient only with light weapons and I wondered if I could make create a magic sword for him that he could use for his Pact of the Blade weapon. I'm still searching.

Current obsession: Vox Machina, Critical Role stream and Legend of Vox Machina cartoon 💜

Tagging: @truxi-twice, @tinydooms, @laurelindebear, @myrling-art and @ricochetoconnell!

That could work -- I’d leave it to the hardcore shippers to make the final call, but it’s a great name!

Spoilers for the upcoming Rogues series beyond this point!

bicherrim said: I really like the look of this! Tho Len looks more like Lisa’s grandad than her older brother, haha.

belphegor1982 said: I agree, I don’t know why Len looks so old, but I like the art style a lot and I love that there appears to be a lot of heart (and bitterness - hopefully bittersweetness) in how their relationship is portrayed.

longitudinalwaveme said: I am cautiously optimistic about this series; these panels look really good. Though I’m not sure why Len looks like he’s 95 and Lisa looks about 40, tops. Is it just because women aren’t allowed to age in comics unless they’re grandmothers?

sharpandtothepoint said: Len has lived a hard life and the cold ages you. I wonder if he’s in his fiftys? This looks great so far, I just hope Digger is not homeless or a drug dealer like in Identity crisis.

Regarding Len's age, I think it's always supposed to have been a lifetime of hard living -- lots of drinking, some smoking, and (as per his Secret Files bio, written by Johns) he dabbled in drugs when he was younger.  Plus, of course, the balding doesn't help the perception of age.  It is true that women don't really get to age in comics until they become Officially Old, but this art actually does make Lisa look middle-aged without mocking her for it, and I appreciate that.  I'm not a fan of that Flash annual #4 about an AU future which clearly intended some of the aged Rogues to look laughably pathetic, including her.

I share the concern about Digger, who's so often comic relief at the best of times and was definitely mocked for aging poorly in Identity Crisis.  It'd be a nice twist if he's one of the Rogues who's doing better than some of the others.

belphegor1982 replied to your photo post: That's a squirrel!? 😮 He looks enormous!

He's an eastern grey squirrel, but a melanistic type that's quite common in Canada.  I looked it up, and apparently eastern greys have been introduced to Europe and are wreaking a fair amount of havoc because they're larger than the local red squirrels and pushy by nature.  So maybe you'll see one someday!

Toronto has tons of huge black squirrels that are supposedly a bit of a tourist attraction :>  They're extremely bold and well-fed, and it seems that the melanistic type is rare in the US so they’re a bit unusual.

truxi-twice replied to your photo post: i love him

Me too!  He first showed up in the early days of the pandemic, and we see him in the yard every once in a while.  I always get really excited :D

truxi-twice replied to your photoset “Pin Club sign ups are open! There’s a limited number for the first...”

Is the bonus leaf pin only with the 3 month signup?

No the leaf comes with all levels of subscriptions for signing up this month! 

But the 3 month subscription does come with another bonus pin when you sign up that is separate from what’s shown in the promo pics.

truxi-twice replied to your post “the concept of “don’t tag as ship” is absolutely hilarious to me and...”

I’m of two minds. Looking at the BJ fandom, like. I get not wanting to see your art being tagged with something you find abhorrent. ON THE OTHER HAND they get so freaking ridiculous about it. I’m not entirely sure the antis didn’t play a role in the long running web comic stopping.

in my less oldfen moments i do also understand not wanting to see something you intended one way get construed a way you aren’t comfortable with, but it’s just like... idk, plenty of people have tagged my gifsets with their charlie/ar tags, and to a lesser extent meyer/benny tags, when i neeever intend it to be read that way because i am really Not Cool with those as romantic/sexual ships, but. i made the thing, and that’s the extent of my control over it. i put it out there. i don’t get to expect control over how it’s taken after that, y’know?

and it’s a majorly different story if someone is putting like... graphic shit in the tags of something you’ve made, but if the mere MENTION of a ship upsets you so much, that’s... kind of on you to deal with, i feel like

xD xD xD xD xD omg you guys <3 (its super humid and rainy today so my hair is extra crazy xD)

truxi-twice replied to your post “Your ask about Purim made me start panicking that Purim was now/had...”

I was starting to wonder if it was like Mardi Gras and y'all start low-key celebrating it a month early (...which reminds me...I need to get king cake... and booze)

Oof, a month long Purim would not be a great idea.

“Rava said: One is obligated to become inebriated [with wine] on Purim until he cannot tell the difference between cursed be Haman and blessed be Mordecai.” - Megillah 7b:7 

It is very, very drunk.

truxi-twice replied to your post:                   I think “Replay” is my favorite of the new TZ...                

   Is there a way we can petition the network to like…cut the episode time in half? Or maybe make two episodes if we need to fill the time?  

I wish, because then we could get double the episodes, and with double the episodes, it’s okay if some of them are bad, or just fine. I hope they’ll decide for next season that the shorter runtimes are the way to go.

truxi-twice replied to your post “Help me get excited to work on gtw again arhghhh.”

truxi-twice replied to your post “hey quick question, did pinterest get bought out by christianity and...”

As someone who is viscerally familiar with Pentecostal outfits...wtf? They are the most aggressively gender-normative possible. (On a personal level that alone would make me drop Pinterest because I already freeze up when I see a woman in a long skirt with an updo out in the wild)

IT WAS NOT SOMETHING I’D EVER HEARD OF, IF I’M HONEST WITH YOU, but then curiosity got the better of me and there I am googling and reading the guidelines and just... wondering why pinterest thinks that I need outfits where a guiding principle is “we have to be able to Tell Men And Women Apart As Aggressively As Possible” 

[I wound up on a blog post reading about what’s allowed and what’s not and “men and women should be distinguishable: No hair covering the tops of a man's ears” made me snort. GOD FORBID HAIR TOUCH YOUR EARS, THEN WE’LL BE COMPLETELY UNABLE TO DETERMINE YOUR GENDER AND THE WORLD WILL FALL INTO CHAOS] 

me: in a perfect world, people would look at me and genuinely have no idea what gender I am pinterest: .........sooooo you want some pentacostal outfits For Women then? that’s relevant to your interests?

A comic book series before anyone gets TOO excited, but still....

truxi-twice said: I mean, I’ll always be salty at the whole Adult Axel thing because to me it totally defeats the purpose of HAVING him, but to me, you keep Axel short and compact, with a round head, even if brushcuts are no longer a thing (but they should be for him)

Yes.  DC has always been big on (most) legacies growing up and taking over their predecessors' role, which complicates things.  I don't know if they even want to keep Axel as a kid, but it's possible he isn't prominent enough to be an official legacy who becomes part of The New Generation.  The Tricksters might just be low-profile enough to coast on the status quo.

truxi-twice said: Also iirc once upon a time they USED to have those. I think Jose Luis Garcia Lopez drew the character bibles for DC in the way back times. But yeah. It frustrates me when artists don’t bother to check a c-lister’s look. It happens with Toad CONSTANTLY.

Yeah, Toad is an excellent example -- so much so that they came up with a canon explanation for why his appearance changed so often.  But like I said, I think companies were more likely to keep sheets around when hardcore continuity nerds had a lot of pull in the company.  The same type of nerds who incorporated Cary Bates' mistakes with Roscoe's and Sam's names into their official middle names in the Who's Who guide; they remembered simple errors in a single issue and made them canon just because they could.  These days DC and Marvel are run more by business types than nerds.

belphegor1982 said: Was that Mark using reverse psychology on Roscoe or did he just get lucky? :D I love the way you write their interaction here, especially since Mark’s character is not easy to pin down! Well done :o)

He was definitely using reverse psychology!  I feared I was making it too obvious, so toned it down a bit and maybe didn't make it as clear as it could have been...that was my fault.  But yeah, one of Mark's strengths is his charisma, so he knew to play on Roscoe's arrogance and love of a job done right :>

truxi-twice replied to your text post: Geez, I'm so sorry. That sounds exhausting and frustrating. I hope the next appointment is more helpful for you *hugs*

Thank you :)  Yeah, it's been a long and difficult odyssey...I just keep hoping this year is much better than the last, and things will go well.

I’m so glad, and they’re entirely well-deserved :)

I DIDN’T EVEN NOTICE THE I. GET IT GONE!

It’s presence bothers me more than it should.

no, there’s a post going around saying TUA’s been renewed for s2 and it links to screenrant as the source, which... no. please god no. screenrant would be terrible even if i didn’t have a personal grudge here.
