Nobody is doing it like Lois Lane. She's a black belt in karate. She was learning how to shoot guns when she was six. She knows a Kryptonian martial art/meditation technique that normally is very dangerous for humans. She was sneaking around trying to get dirt on megalomaniacs and impressing the chief of the Daily Planet when she was fifteen. She won two Pulitzers. She once made a deal with Luthor to save the Daily Planet and in exchange she would have to kill one story about him anytime he chose, but then when he offered to rescind the deal after she saved his daughter she refused the offer because she was offended he thought she would save someone for the sake of getting out of their deal. Then she double crossed him when he decided to cash in on the deal. On her honeymoon she singlehandedly fought an entire cartel to rescue her husband. When asked what she would be the god of she decided to become the God of Integrity. She jumps off bridges to get a ride to work from Superman. Thee woman of all time <3

thinking about rictor and star visiting ric's hometown in mexico from the pov of people who knew him growing up and his family. like you went to school with the kid of the local gunrunner. halfway through high school he fucks off for several years and then just shows back up one day with a random white boy in tow and they stop a robbery and just dip. or like, you're ric's mom and he brings this seven foot tall slightly unnerving boy home with him and is just like. yeah his name is shatterstar. he's american. he's my best friend. no further questions. said boy has swords and he makes an unnerving amount of eye contact and has an accent you can't identify but he speaks excellent spanish. and you feed them and they leave and then spend the next several months systematically dismantling your family's gunrunning operation. then he and your son disappear. insane.

Being deeply into the X-Men skews what you consider a minor character. Like normal people will ask me who my favorite character is and I’ll have the minimum amount of self-awareness to be like “I can’t say Tarot, the student from Emma Frost’s evil team in the 80s who died” but then I look for a better answer and I say “Blink”

you wouldn’t last an hour (piecing throwaway lines and blink-and-you’ll-miss-it details together to form a coherent characterization for an underdeveloped character) in the asylum they raised me (comic book fandom)

i hope that the discussion about student protests does not get reduced to "privileged rich kids faffing around at an ivy league school." setting aside that tenuous claim, over the last week, protests have erupted over the entire country. a few days ago, riot police beat, pepper-sprayed, and arrested NYU faculty shielding students; protests started at the university of southern california when the admin cancelled the valedictorian's speech; encampments appeared at the university of southern carolina, UT dallas, the university of maryland, the university of new mexico, IUPUI, virginia tech, the university of virginia, the university of illinois, the university of north carolina — chapel hill, the university of pittsburgh, uc berkeley, the university of michigan — ann arbor, MIT, emerson, tufts, the university of rochester, rice, swarthmore, the new school, vanderbilt university, with students arrested; students protested or walked out at miami university, northwestern, temple, the 5 claremont colleges: pomona, pitzer, scripps, harvey mudd, and claremont mckenna, stanford, washington university in st louis, students were arrested at ohio state, students were confronted by riot police at cal poly humboldt, after which they occupied campus, students were arrested at the university of minnesota — twin cities, after which faculty walked out; and yes, there are protests at the other ivies, most notably yale, with students facing mass arests after encampments, but there is also an encampment at brown, protests appeared at cornell, princeton faculty issued a statement of solidarity while students are preparing an encampment, and harvard banned the undergraduate palestine solidarity committee. there are thousands of students who are protesting for palestine across the entire country, facing harassment, arrest, and suspension in return

Been thinking about young justice and wanted to make a silly little relationship chart (with extended cast). I’m sure I’m missing a few things, but I had fun! Truly the most team of all time.

"Here are your tortured poets. All from Mahmoud Darwish to Dr. Refat Alareer to Khaled Juma, these are tortured poets. Tortured by longing for a home they can never return to, tortured by the world they were born to for BEING BORN. Palestine, home to the tortured poets department." [@/folkoftheshelf on X.

thinking about julio richter. he's mexican. he's been suicidal since his first appearance back in the 80s. he's powerful enough to level california. he threatened to split the earth in half because the guy he was in love with was in trouble. he owns a punk bar. he was one half of marvel's first on-panel same-sex kiss. he's never been in a pride special. he's depressed. he's a little bit of a bitch. he's a hater. he's a character defined by his compassion. he's in love with an alien gladiator from space. he lived with some of the x-men as a teenager. he called his power "vibes". he's a druid. he didn't wear a shirt for a good portion of his early appearances. he's mother nature's special little boy. he's in his twenties. he refuses to go to therapy. he's even gay.
