Conner Slayed So Hard In His First Appearance

Flash and Crash

another thing to be wary of are the chameleons of change - the ‘Many Hobbyists’ (often with ADHD) who can be found in all of the above locations - a true cosmopolitan species.

while generally friendly and receptive to guidance from native species they can easily become hostile. This is a survival strategy; they are fully aware that they are encroaching on ecological niches - and that the native fauna is far more suitable to survive in such habitats than they are. Rather than risk being chased out of the store (an unlikely scenario but an engrained survival instinct - residual from the past where these specimen were often alone in large areas and had no pack to rely on) they will instead lash out first and insist they know everything.

With their clever use of the internet and community spaces they are capable of slowing gathering a pack and are perfectly capable of integrating themselves into other ecosystems. Craft Ladies are the preferred target of a symbiotic relationship. The Many Hobbyists can venture further with greater ease, and bring back new techniques and materials. In exchange, the Craft Ladies offer guidance, expertise and protection.

Craft Ladies are uniquely suited to such a task as their overall social and calm nature makes them ideal to soothe a frightened Many Hobbyists, afraid of being seen as the weakest member of the pack.

in larger Craft Lady gathering, many packs will often introduce their resident Many Hobbyist to each other - a rare and delightful experience that would be difficult to naturally occur due to the scarcity and isolation of Many Hobbyists in physical spaces.

happy tim day! 💫

What I love about Jason Todd is that he's angry about his trauma. Life fucked him over and he's rightfully pissed off. We already have "healed from their anger" Dick Grayson and "ignores their emotions" Bruce Wayne. Thank you DC for giving us "hurt and upset and lashing out" Jason Todd.

he...he got a slurpee

soil creature stew

Humans are more sensitive to petrichor than sharks are to blood. So, we obviously already hunted all the soil creatures to extinction. I imagine they made a good stew.

okay no so apparently the church is just - like that. Yeah there’s fire hazards everywhere. There’s PowerPoint transitions. And you bet they’re not putting the words to the prayers they expect everyone to say into the little booklet they give you.

another benefit (?) to not being fully religious is my younger sister revealed that she had thought the whole ‘Jesus coming back to life’ was a metaphor this whole time.

ABSOLUTE BATMAN #1

i absolutely adore issue #1 of absolute batman srsly

as someone has just been getting into DC this year, but still aware enough of the basic principles of batman's origin and character, this feels like a really exciting, yet approachable story.

I'd seen online some complaints that it's the 'same old batman' and that it's just another 'rehashed story with nothing interesting or worthwhile.'

I've even seen complaints regarding the inclusion of (spoilers) classic rogues like catwoman, killer croc, the penguin, riddler, twoface being introduced or mentioned so early in the story or simply being mentioned at all.

First of all - it's a five-issue series - there's only so much time to introduce everyone - and I think the first issue does a wonderful job at setting up the characters and world right of the bat.

Besides, I like the rogues. I like the DC characters - I'm reading a batman comic after all. This isn't to say that characters haven't been butchered in certain runs, or that DC always tells good stories.

What I'm meaning is - just think about what makes comics so different from every other media format? Aside from the gorgeous use of text, color, form and image - trust me, I am GOING to be making numerous posts about the silly bat costume and the GORGEOUS ART.

I'm still very new to comics, so I might be off here obviously, but;

when I think of batman, I think of the character

and what makes the character of batman?

Well, absolute batman is obviously asking this question - they've taken away the money, mansion, and butler - on top of that - his mum is alive! (He is a mama's boy 100%).

BATMAN IS GOTHAM

Like; Alfred Pennyworth (HOT DAMN THO) is narrating most of issue 1, and I love it - but when he arrives, he's asking 'where is your heart Gotham?', and then batman later appears.

Batman, who has studied and worked every blue-collar job ever - who knows the city in and out - who repairs the stairs he breaks in the night at his day job. Who Alfred acknowledges is building something here - who is childhood friends with his rogues - he's protecting Gotham.

Even Killer Croc goes 'This is our HOME, man ... someone's got to do something!'

This is overlayed a photo of them all as childhood friends, and child Bruce is even smiling - it's so precious.

We're being presented with a Gotham that's in very dire straits - and this is a Batman that feels so much more a part of the city.

Batman LOVES his city, and he LOVES the people in it.

To me, Batman is a protector.

Alfred calls him a crusader, citing his mother as his one weakness - seeing Bruce come home to a regular old house with his mum sitting on the steps - that got me.

Batman has this single-minded devotion - that's the strength of his love. I never realized how weak that devotion to his ideals seemed when he had all the money and resources in the world.

You take that away? You get a Batman who has planned his entire life to learning everything he can, on his own merits - that's some superhero shit.

Anyway, I'm so excited to see where this series goes - can't wait to meet more of the rogues! At the end of day, nothing stings quite like childhood friends who aren't as close as they used to be. Plus, his costume is cool as hell and so so so silly.

food and poetry

I have a coworker who is from the same place I used to live in a different country. She is one of the nicest people I have ever met. She shares her food with me, the food her mother in law made. These delicious meals that are nothing like what I eat at home.

I told her I liked writing and she was thrilled to ‘know a real author’ and it made me so happy. I’m going to print out a short story so she can read it.

She told me that she writes poetry in her native language. I do not have the skill for poetry, and I cannot understand her’s. With food, mouth can taste what she shares with me. With poetry, neither my ears nor eyes can ever understand this though.

the poems already write themselves at this rate.

round two of Dracula daily: time to convince all my friends to do it!

(…maybe I’ll finish it this time too)

Bram stoker - the cartographer

my boyfriend: How would you feel if I was writing a paper about my journey to the UK my boyfriend: And I referred to my trip to the INDEPENDENT NATION OF WALES and their NORDIC ARCHITECTURE AND HERATIDGE

I'm getting my boyfriend to read Dracula Daily. He's not taking all the confusing geography and history nonsensical writings very well.
