i FORGOT when i sent a list before. rachel pollack's doom patrol omnibus (doom patrol v2 #64-#87) the description on the book isn't very useful but pollack created the first trans superhero in either marvel or dc (kate godwin) and rachel pollack was the first out trans person to write for marvel or dc

Uhh, thats cool, thank you for the submissions, I added it to the list :)

also have u considered a 'partially' option? there's some books i haven't finished fr one reason or another and it's hard to decide whether to say i liked it or not when i haven't finished it. thank u :)

Hi, thank you so much for all these submissions, they were added to the list.

I‘ve added a No but I‘d like to option, which I think could work for that as well? Would that work for you?

last song: As I type this bad, bad Leroy Brown is playing so probably that, but I’m basically always listening to something so it’ll change by the time this is done.

last movie: Unless I’m forgetting something, Halloween 3 season of the witch. It took like 3 tries to work so me and the friend watching it saw the first 5 minutes to the point of agony.

last book: Honestly probably my textbook for one of my classes this semester so. “Cognitive Science: An introduction to the study of mind” which feels like cheating a bit

Do you have any good recs for like, comic book news? I feel like I never know about interesting new series until it’s already too late and half way through the run or the run is over.

oh god my friend works at a comic book news thing @actuallyspeed what is it again. i can’t remember.

[dickgreyson]

speaking of gotham nights #11 - what'd u think of the other story in the issue? the one just abt jason

im in the middle of reading it now and i uh.. dont like it! i hate how people always feel the need to rewrite jasons origin, to give him MORE damage. like him being an overall good kid who lived through poverty was FINE. him dying at the hands of the joker even though he was a good kid who didnt deserve it was ENOUGH BAGAGE. we dont now need him in an orphanage run by a crazy gun lady. this is ridiculous.

#still getting thru it but #i dunno what did u think? #actuallyspeed

hihihi i got a book by natasha pulley a few days ago but not bedlam stacks (the bookstore didn't have it) i got the lost future of pepperharrow

OH MAN,,, oh man,,, it’s my least favourite of the three books she has so far BUT it’s nonetheless an excellent book and I HOPE YOU ENJOY IT OH MAN,,,,

#VIBRATES!!!! #its the sequel to watchmaker so im like INTRIGUED as to how youll feel about it if you havent read watchmaker #(which is fine like. fuck having to read every book in a series tbh) #actuallyspeed

actuallyspeed replied to your post “on the one hand, comics constantly rebooting and restarting and...”

dc has a crisis every so often and just reboots the entire universe. they've done it like 2 and a half times

oh yes, despite me ragging on marvel in this post because that’s the one i mostly read from, this post was in fact inspired by my friend telling me things about the DC universe that i did not wish to know

the only DC stuff i can take is the CW shows of Supergirl, Batwoman, and Legends of Tomorrow, because they are utter nonsense in a fun way (and even then... half the time i’m supposedly watching them i’m actually asking my friends “what the fuck is happening”)

#crisis on infinite earths was just a blur of nonsense #actuallyspeed

[theboost]

anyway u should draw kate bc i love her

Sorry this took so long I lost all will to do anything for several days

#actuallyspeed #i dont love this #i barely like it

[dyketectivecomics]

ur liveblogging is making me wanna read yj so much. this comic sounds great

My plan is working omg

Jk BUT, this is very quickly becoming one of my favs so you absolutely should!!! It’s VERY cartoony, so if you enjoyed the goofier aspects of say, Teen Titans or Brave & Bold, I would DEF recommend it!

They touch p well on some social issues too (gun control & child abuse mainly comes to mind), but it’s definitely in a way that feels... like a product of its time? (Being late 90s pushing right into the millennium ofc) that’s not to say it doesn’t handle it Well, just a bit differently from how I think a writer might approach it today.

#asked and answered #actuallyspeed #i didnt mention that the last time someone mentioned wanting to reread this i think? #but thats bc i didnt quite get to All Of Those issues yet aksk #but they ARE there just as much as the goofy stuff!! but its def more of a comedy than a drama!!!

birb me!!!!

you are an indigo bunting!

indigo buntings are proven to use the stars to navigate during their migration, and have difficulty with spacial awareness in captivity when they cannot see them. if a brown-headed cowbird lays an egg in their nests, they abandon the site before laying any of their own, as they’re able to recognize that the egg doesn’t belong to them. when the young hatch, the male feeds them after they fledge while the female starts on incubating the next brood.
