It’s Very Interesting To Me That Even In Billys Peak Years Mingling In Teams During Postcrisis He Doesn’t

it’s very interesting to me that even in billys peak years mingling in teams during postcrisis he doesn’t necessarily have much strong reoccurring bonds with characters outside fawcett. like aside from the trinity who do crop up once in a while - not often bruce and diana even less - I think a lot of writing back then unconsciously or consciously wrote him out to be The Outlier in whatever team he’d be in. jla was that culmination of him being team friendly, where everybody listened to him but only because he brought things to the table that were clearly different from what others were experiencing. and jsa was a step deeper and further at the same time bc of courtney and adam’s role in the team. he was the one set aside there too, something clearly temporary like a bodyguard/limited time role, and even the courtney arc didn’t ground him like how that normally would for a char. jli, like the og jli, he was … well if we took that spot for him seriously he also wasn’t ever fully dissolved into that team either, seemingly of his own rejection of assimilating.

cap marvel was in every event and crisis. everybody knows him, likes him. he’s been on nearly every team. it’s just very noticeable and telling to me that after all this, ALL of it, there’s no ties that bind him to really any dc char as strongly as many established characters have with each other a la teen titans or trinity or even just basic “x hero is known to be best friends/relies on with y hero for a period in their comic history”. I don’t think i can name even one outstanding, consistent relationship like that? and obvs aside from clark bc dc’s inevitable comparison games w them complicates how organic their bond can get to me. just. ok. even if cap marvel has his family freddy for most of his appearances in postcrisis was actively establishing his own existence as an individual hero in other teams and outside of their own comics you never saw mary and billy teaming up during many crises. in this case and maybe all of it is a writing gap at best.

but altogether the full read is just. cap marvel/billy is meant to be unable to really connect fully with other people on this plane, possibly because he’s been relegated to this “bridge between worlds” role which also means he’s 50% here and 50% gone, which notoriously is a bad sign for fully integrating into a single world. rmr in kingdom come when supes said “More than anyone who ever existed, you know what it’s like to live in both worlds.” @ billy? i feel that comes at the cost of being able to connect with anyone fully and wholly then, in either of his forms. which hurts im sure, since connections are all he ever wants. he’ll just never get it the way he imagines.

Summary:

Dick is furious!

I just saw a Tik Tok that said writers on AO3 are not looking for constructive criticism in their reviews. I have no audience on this platform so I have to know if this is true? I've always left my pros and cons when reading a fic and now I'm concerned that the authors didn't like that.

Yeah writers are Not looking for criticism, constructive or otherwise. Unless they specifically ask for it, it’s considered rude and honestly a bit hurtful. In the least bitchy way possible, don’t do that. It’s unwanted.

New Ducktales OC!!!

Let me introduce you to Marisol Matos

Parents: Mateo and Rosa Matos

Siblings: Luisa, Blanca and Rosa

Personality:

Strict, kind, affectionate and hard-working. She likes children and loves to cook. She loves her family more than anything in the world, especially all her little grandchildren. Demanding in the kitchen and demanding on the farm. She excels at staying calm and giving advice in times of crisis. She is the rock of her loved ones.

Story:

She was born in Puerto Rico in the summer of 1870. She is the eldest daughter of 4 sisters and the lady of the house since her mother died of illness. She helps her father raise her sisters and keeps the house going. She helped fight in the revolution against Spain as a teenager and took over her family's land and plantations when her father was murdered for being a member of the ‘La Boicotizadora’ movement. She met Scrooge McDuck in 1899. After certain interactions both end up in love with each other however they couldn't stay together because Scrooge's obsession with becoming the ‘Richest Duck in the World’ was bigger than a commitment to young love. He promised to come back for her as soon as he had enough money to take care of her and her sisters; but he never came back.

Rosa, her younger sister, became seriously ill, forcing Marisol to marry Colonel José De la Cruz in order to pay for medical help. 9 children arose from the marriage; 5 males and 4 females. Her eldest son died along with his father on a business trip, leaving her heartbroken and owner of the De la Cruz fortune and rightful owner of her parents' lands. With effort, tears, blood and sweat she managed to create her restaurant chain, and with the help of freed slaves and her family tended her land, earning her wealth for generations to follow.

She doesn't know what happened, but she somehow stopped aging when she reached her 40s and she's still alive for over a century to the present day. She decided to see her immortality as an opportunity to continue caring for her family and her legacy.
