Regarding Alan Moore

Alan Moore is a very strange individual with the mind of some creative god. He has written books such as "Voice of the Fire," "Jerusalem," and months back released his new short story collection called "Illuminations." He was born, raised, and is probably planning on living the rest of his life in his hometown of Northampton, a town in England. His hometown plays a very important role in many of his writings in his books, as "Voice of the Fire" dives deep into the history of the town, all the way back even into the caveman ages.

In regard to the comic book industry, Alan Moore is a legend. He is the name behind works such as "Providence" and "Promethea" but his most famous works lie within DC's Vertigo, or now Black Label, works which include his take on "The Saga of the Swamp Thing," "Batman: The Killing Joke" and "Watchmen."

He's had a rough history with DC comics, often times ending with the company screwing him over. While he never confirmed his reason for it, Alan Moore has come out to say he is officially done with comics, but it isn't too farfetched to say DC comics and their business deals have had something to do with it. This is more so seen with Watchmen, as Moore has wanted nothing to do with the movie that came out in 2009 or the HBO miniseries that came out ten years later after the movie.

His contributions, however, will not be forgotten. The events that took place in the Killing Joke have become canon in the Batman mythos and his work on Swamp Thing is what's fueling the Swamp Thing movie that will be a part of James Gunn's new DC cinematic universe, with the first chapter being titled "Gods and Monsters." On top of that, Watchmen is still very much alive. The characters have met the primary DC heroes in a storyline called Doomsday Clock and not too long ago there was a mini series in the comics dedicated to the iconic character of Rorschach.

Regarding Alan Moore

While his comics were, and still are, fantastic, his books hold the same valor as hidden gems and should be considered classics amongst all that is published today. If one looks hard enough, they'll find headlines or even other authors claiming that Alan Moore is the best living writer of the English language. His works support that claim solidly.

Can we please get Shakespearean English right? I have literally never seen anyone ever get it right. (other than in formally printed texts but those dont count)

Thou = you (subject)

Thee = you (object)

Thine = your (possessive, before a word starting with a vowel) eg “thine avocado”

Thy = your (possessive, before a word starting with a consonant) eg “thy bread”

Sanders Sides Character Recaps and Fortune Telling, what fun

let me start by saying I have suddenly been thrown back on the Fander train without my consent and this is the result of that. its a doozy, but if anyone wishes to discuss further id be delighted. so:

Virgil: came a long way, accepting being accepted, he's still dealing with the guilt of his past i spose. getting more familiar with everyone, him and logan are cute (platonically). Of course as Anxiety, he still struggles with lying (because we get nervous when we think about getting found out) and intrusive thoughts (what if im a bad person) but as a person(?) hes learning to come to terms with that, well on his way with a few crises coming his way, theres that whole thing with saying Paranoid to him, hope we face that. I see self discovery and good things coming his way, a win for all you virgil fans!

Roman: clearly, getting pretty emotionally beat, yknow, sides with Janus to be shot down, goes against Janus to be shot down again, significantly lacking in wins recently, you wonder abt his self esteem. Still doing his job great, which seems to be the only thing hes got going for him which is concerning. in the You vs Yourself vid hes very unsure about his moral views because he recognizes hes not Morality and when he proposes arguments they are based on endgoal, just like hes usually been as Passion, creativity, career drive, you might say? I dont see his arc being addressed in his near future, but I'm sure it will come to that. I see dark times before his good times roll, hang in there Roman fans, he'll get his moment.

Patton: Hes really been going through it, hasnt he. I mean, recently he just found out there was so much more complications to his job that he wasnt prepared to handle and to be faced with it all at once must be really challenging, especially when everyone is expecting results from him and he doesnt even know what to do and theyre all judging his decisions when hes just trying his best with all these new factors to consider with his job as Morality. Its easier for him to come to terms with Janus as deceit than Remus because he can easily see how lying can be good (even though he knows its also not a lot of the time) but he still doesnt really know how Intrusive Thoughts are helpful to Thomas or good in any way. I see in his future, job related anxiety and insecurity. It will be adressed, and its also good he was allowed his breakdown early (You vs Yourself, you can tell I really like this episode despite a severe lack of Virgil and Remus)

Logan: Well. we all know how this is going, I mean, hes the talk of the town lately! As a Logan fan, I can attest to the fact that he did used to be more lighthearted and smile more and I can also attest to the fact that Thomas is very aware of his development as a character and I don't think he'll let yall down. just, what I can glean from his videos. we're all waiting for him to go apeshit, and I with you, and i do think its coming very soon guys, hold on to your proverbial hats! I do enjoy that hes clearly indifferent to the new additions and not thrown off like the others. due to the fact that he is Logic. Id also like to point out that logic can be wrong and everyones logic is different. even if its less so compared to how anxiety is. so. logic is still susceptible to human whims. anyway theres been plenty going aorund abt ignoring logan and the orange side, and I'm always up for discussion on any of these guys. Hes really been just going ham into his job, huh? search for purpose, hmmm? ponder on that morsel. more alcohol in his life as well, an interesting observation.

Janus: oh, the snakey boi. How hes grown. he does a lot of drinking too. what for, I wonder. I do think the preposition to his song reveals a lot, like how Patton is talking to him more, how he knows truths and knows that some need to be hidden and its healthy to lie sometimes even when you know its a lie. Hes confident in himself and his abilities and knows when the criticism is ignorance vs actual criticism, which is why he values Logan's perspective on his arguments and brushes off Roman's jabs to his ego. Hes safely on the ride, and I dont see any heavy existential crises or anything in his near future, as in, he (and Remus, I'll talk about it later) will probably be the only mentally stable ones as the Light Sides are having their purposes reevaluated. Confidence is surprisingly key. who'da thunk it?

Remus: My favourite rat man. True to his name, hes very intrusive, and I admire his determination in his fight for acknowledgement. I think it will serve him well, the "face it bluntly hands on" tactic compared to Janus, who understands where he stands in the others' eyes and will slowly but surely snake his way (see what i did there?) to the table. Remus, and I love it about him, is just running forward to acceptance MACE ABLAZING and I hope it takes him good places. the WTIT ep was very revealing. his confidence in himself, like Janus's, will carry them through the generally rough patch that I predict is coming their way. i do think he is salty abt being ignored, which I interpret as the biggest difference between him and Janus (who might also be, but I dont really see it? I might also be in denial cuz this theory is really working for me) and Remus is wounded by it and trying to hide the fact that hes salty with his craziness and randomness that no one understands. its why he feels mor menacing than Janus. who knows, Janus might be just as peeved but hiding it better? settled himself in for the long game?

both dark sides certainly seem bent (and betting) on getting Logan to lose his marbles, but idk whether thats for Logans good or so the Reasonable Light Side (tm) will see what its like? and by proxy everyone else...? the tail end of the theory is escaping me now. its also 5 am.

Cant wait to see how the orange side manifests, wont that just be plenty of fun for all?

Guys i just had a revelation

Do you ever think about how March and Healy (The Nice Guys) are like Crowley and Aziraphale (Good Omens, do I even need to clarify?) but reversed? 

Like, March is the tall lanky one with the issues, he’s the mess of a man like Crowley, but he’s got that happy Aziraphale “I am a prtty angel” energy

Healy is emotionally stable, short and stout like a teapot compared to his partner and is the dom of the relationship and takes care of his wet cat like Aziraphale, but has a Crowley view of the world

And both pairs love each other but the stable one is so exasperated and done with their partner

like, guys I'm frickin onto smth here
