My review of this book when I read it was that the only redeeming quality was the clearly unintentional ho-yay XD
Kirk and Spock exchanging rings was not what I excepted to get out of this book but oh my god
Below is probably my favorite exchange; Kirk being pissed he didn't give his ring to the real Spock.
(From the passage above) "...he's wearing my ring, which I would have given to no other man in the universe." Are you fucking kidding me
And finally Spock wishing he could've retrieved Kirk's ring for him.
Also, in case you didn't pick it up from the first passage, Kirk is wearing Spocks ring, and as far as we know he's still fucking wearing it through this last page.
soooooo we all agree that @contact-guy has completely altered our brain chemistries, yes?
So does the guy know you're white-knighting for him on social media? Seriously tho chillax. I thought we were doing a bit? You know, since like I said earlier Spider-Man started off as literally just a masked wrestler...and that his particular level of wisecracking can only be obtained by a certified doofus. (As an out of character aside I'm not really sure how this level of role-playing works, I'm kind of new to Tumblr. Am I not supposed to acknowledge the bit? Was it rude to interact back? Sorry if I'm messing up your RP I honestly don't know the rules)
As much as I love how Batman went from respected lawman to urban legend, I feel people fail to appreciate the Marvel equivalent. Peter Parker's alterego went from 'literally a wrestler with a gimmick' to 'he might maybe have once been human? We hope?!' in the eyes of the average civillian/mook.
Like his origin is clearly human, he's a tv performer and it's understood that his webbing is a gadget he came up with for the schtick. Then a little later when the Xmen become more popular and have more of an effect on the Marvelverse, you get the whole 'mutant scum' angle. But it eventually becomes clear that no, whatever this guy is, 'typical mutant' ain't it. (The alien suit debacle does not help with this at all.)
By the mid 80s Spider-Man is basically a cryptid, helped along by how the choreography and art style changed enough to show him moving in a way that is very inhuman, striking from the shadows, gravity optional. There's a whole arc where he adventures overseas and just straight up passes for a supernatural being so as not to compromise his secret id.
Then whenever anybody interacts with him long enough for him to start quipping they realize he's just a huge dork. Like, you know the inhumanly strong man-shaped shadow that can tell you pointed a gun at him from two blocks away without looking? He's going to give you a punny nickname while tying you up with a semi organic compound hitherto unknown to science. It's so funny.
Worst pun I've seen in at least a week, all hail all praise. Best I could've done was say they were slated for love, I need to up my game.
I did this to my players, actually. Got a custom printed and painted 3D model and everything. The fight with the mighty Honkdra saw not just a single ship, but an entire dock district go down in flames. Peace was never even a consideration.
Goose hydra. Peace will never be an option
Well that part just makes sense. Easy come, easy go, right? XD
There are two kinds of people when they get superpowers... Amazing Spiderman 28
Isn't that just Lex Luthor at his core?
He could ALWAYS just stop. He is who he is because he never will.
Lex could just stop. Right now. He's cleared his slate, faked his own death, the list of people who have any idea is in the single digits. Superman is willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. The people adore him, he has the power to do real, long term good for the world. He could just. STOP. Action Comics 672
I managed to decode the lower speech bubble, got most stumped on the first, and then realized I could and should wait for the expert fandom decoders to do it for me XD . Never has phonetic spelling been so unintelligible, nor fans so dedicated to decoding it anyways.
I would like to thank the wonderful folks in the girl genius server for joining me as soon as thenpage dropped last night for us all to collectively transcribe and decode Zoing's speech about what's going wrong on castle Wulfenbach. The best guess we settled on was:
"He came back! Gilgamesh go walk about and father came back! A scary clank lady want to fix a new body in a tank, making new brain to put brain in tank body in a big lab!"
"It’s gonna work and then she in command of the whole ship and empire and everything! It’s bad!"
Which sounds like Lucrezia is on board stealing herself a new organic body that can potentially go queen mode! Uh oh!
Dance the Night by Dua Lipa, 100%. Heard it and was like hmmm...an absolutely glitterific bop hiding an indomitable spirit plagued by heartache. Yes, I have a blorbo this will pair with quite nicely, methinks.
Dear Nightwing fans, please drop your song recs for him :D
NGL, I would 100% wear a ladies version of this sadly I am too curvy for the original
Does anyone have a pattern for that cunty Spock outfit, you know the one, black velvet cape-shirt thing from the movie era.
very accurate depiction of the domestic canid, actually
