One thing I've noticed as I'm reading a lot of DC is that their lettering has always been absolutely fantastic, and ever since 1995 or so they've consistently had better lettering than Marvel. Really impressed they kept pen lettering going all the way until 2003.

Sketch ➡️ Final (total work time: 61 hours) With a close to final clean sketch, I was able to draw line art smoothly. Also tried to improve my color/rendering by focusing on light and shadow, and color temperature (warm light, cool shadows). It took a while but I gave my best 🙇

Ummm I just think having a passionate final mech battle against your destined rival is simply more romantic than wedding vows

Also the lady at the concessions stand recognized my Agnès/Grendel shirt! Why not... if you work concessions at the Mann in Champlin, MN and saw a lady around 7:20 this evening wearing a Trails shirt, hiiiiiii!

There’s such a tendency for people to say “oh it’s always been that bad” to people who are vastly more informed and are saying things have changed. It’s like pointing to the smoldering ashes of a city and being informed that buildings have always caught fire

Decided to try my hand at mixing my own barbecue sauce from condiments I already have. This is what I ended up going with, and it was amazing. The sriracha was the biggest ingredient.

it is her birthday, play trails to find out

This is not okay. Ripperoni being a domestic abuser doesn't make going full mask-off transmed acceptable in any capacity. This is Brianna Wu-tier queerphobia.

So I'm trying to get my pronoun labels taken off now that I've found out the owner of the pronoun labeler is an abuser. I will not be using another one for quite some time, because the only remaining alternatives are associated with Northsky, a hive of transmeds. she/her ONLY please

So I'm reading the final issues of the old Justice League books before Morrison's relaunch, and I am very amused that Marvel vs. DC was actually canon at some point. I feel like Ted and Ben would get along.

This was because I said that Heavensward feels like an allegory for Israel/Palestine. Wow, writers use their work as a vehicle for social commentary on serious issues, how repulsive! The GCBTW has always had a huge problem with media literacy. Glad they blocked me, trash took itself out.

Holy fuck. Read the entire thread, please.

At first I thought "wow, that font's g has a really prominent ear", but then I zoomed in and saw that no, they just put the macron over the wrong letter. It should be yōge.

he would have been an absolutely awful and unbelievably crooked senator and it’s an indictment of a whole lot of people that none of them could see that from the beginning, he would have been an anchor and i am glad he’s being tossed over

Graham Platner embodies a concept that in 2016 we didn’t have words for so “Bernie Bro” made the most sense. It had nothing to do with Bernie but was an attempt to describe a man who outwardly espouses progressive values but hates women more than he cares about anything else.

Trump's dementia is so bad that whenever Barron tells him about his latest Paradox campaign, he thinks it's actual history.

This is exactly right For the bulk of Platner’s supporters in the media,the sense of helplessness from women and feminized people is exactly the point. They want us all to feel like we’re being victimized bc the era of people who aren’t masculine cis men having rights upsets them more than anything

"Dem HR ladies" is such a misogynist turn of phrase, I'm still kind of speechless about it.

These same people shit talk me and say I’m not actually trans, too, for reasons that also amount to “my politics are closer to Will’s than to theirs.” The narrative on this site is absolutely out of touch with actual trans concerns

This might be his best find yet!! CTC stays winning, preserving food history for the rest of us!

I mean, I've managed to not rape anyone, it's really incredibly easy.

I will never forget how a victim of sexual assault was forced to retraumatize herself in front of the entire nation because people waved away red flag after red flag - the Nazi tattoo, the appearance on a neo-Nazi podcast, the domestic violence - so they could have a manly, unfeminized left.

One difference I've noticed between DC and Marvel is that DC has always had (and still has) better lettering, and Marvel had better coloring until... probably well into the 2010s.

Have I said how much I love Post-Crisis Lois Lane yet?

Yes it goes under "Never Trust Woo Woo" Never Trust Woo Woo will literally never steer you wrong.

ngl you can really feel how terfism grew from the same ideological tree as new age hippie shit by the weird language they all use

I'm eating matcha ice cream at a sushi restaurant, and it tastes like weed.

Good. Dams breaking.

Reading a bunch of DC lately has me in the mind that I'm now realizing Rean and Altina are just the Trails version of Batman and Robin. They even have the same kind of relationship Bruce has with Tim.

GG to GDQ

Oliver Queen is DC's Matt Murdock in that even though he's one of the heroes he's a complete fucking asshole.

Ruben Diaz is a treasure.

The reason I'm okay with pirating Gerard Jones's Green Lantern but I would never touch anything written by J.K. Rowling even via piracy is because the only real difference between Jones and Rowling is that Jones is currently rotting in prison for his crimes, while Rowling is influencing British law.

Ever since I was a small child, I have been very firmly convinced I was a cat in my previous life. Honestly glad to see more people who believe in reincarnation speak out about their beliefs, it makes me feel less alone.

This is a banger of a write-up. Do read it please. It isn't just about the Vita. Or the sorry excuse for a digital store that's the Vita store. It's about everything that's being sold down the river. But they ain't gonna take my gaming spirit from me, no sir.

I was born in the '80s which means I grew up around a lot of bicentennial shit left over from the '70s, and I always wished I had gotten to be around for it because it sounded like fun. And now the 250th rolls around, and Trump just pisses it all away when we could have had something great.

in 2027, some 13-year-old is going to learn about a band called "Nirvana" for the first time thanks to this yuri anime and I think that's beautiful

On one hand, I think it's really good that younger queer people have no idea just how bad it was to be growing up queer in the era when Pete Buttigieg was a kid, but good god people, at least listen to people who lived through the era about why it took time for queer kids to accept themselves.

Man I'm reading Wonder Woman: The Challenge of Artemis and I just can't with early Mike Deodato. Don't get me wrong, the writing is great, and I'm enjoying the story, but... yeah, the art is awful. Oddly enough, I'm in love with this run's lettering. John Costanza has a real gift for sound effects

Guess I really will always be looking in at life through a pane of glass at a distance. It's just how my brain is wired. Maybe in my next life, I'll actually have a brain that lets me participate in the world.

Do I call it Calvardian whisky because it's French, or do I call it Crossbellan whisky because it's from Armorica?

Well, I'm officially moving on from something that's probably been over for about three months now and took me this long to realize.

“I hope your mecha franchise that’s stuck in licensing hell gets no new announcements” is nothing compared to “I hope the only new announcement from your mecha franchise that’s stuck in licensing hell is a Funko Pop collaboration”
