Part 1

So I essentially live-blogged the new She-Hulk episode in one of my discords, and thought some of you might be interested:

I'm so late to this party but I'm finally watching the episode

and first of all, I think she got all of Leapfrog's potential claims correct!

except strict liability and manufacturer's defect might be redundant but I'm not sure bc that's civil law and I hate civil law

oh my gosh oh my gosh

her boss calling her out on being more upset over suing the guy who makes her nice clothes than she was over representing the guy who almost tried to kill her cousin?

"watch the show for Jen," they say, "love Jen," they say, "Jen is a great character," they say

she's funny but wowwww

"I do not make suits that malfunction" - I believe him

is...is Matt late to court

in another person's show

OH MY GOSH

I AM SCREAMING

MATT IS LATE FOR COURT AGAIN

BROSIF

welp yeah he's clearly in good hands, they are clearly keeping him 100% in character ad;lkajdsk;as

also his voice

also Jen not-so-discretely checking him out the second he appears smh

"trouble finding parking" bruh

oh my gosh OH MY GOSH her asking for his entire client list

GUYS

GUYYYYYS

she's overtly going on a fishing expedition with her discovery request for the whole client list

"a gross invasion of people's privacy based on a very shaky what-if" MATT TELL HER

it's not material to this case whether the malfunction has affected other people? It's not - HOW?

she has the burden of proving that the malfunction occurred in this case. Unless there's some kind of bizarre chain reaction, there's no way that malfunctions in other cases (if they even occurred) would affect whether a malfunction occurred in this case

oh my goshhhhhh Matt demonstrating how the privacy concern is higher here bc of the nature of the work is so perfect, although technically that would...hmmm. That wouldn't actually determine the relevance issue, and he really should make clear that he's not ceding the point of relevance

THE SOKOVIA ACCORDS HAVE BEEN REPEALED I'M SCREAMING

what the heck WHAT THE HECK. She's bringing up the public figure argument - that's for slander and libel, not for product liability????

JENNNNN

anyway, legal issues aside

at a meta level, it is so glorious seeing Matt vehemently defend the importance of anonymity of superheroes

ooh and he's claiming Leapfrog misused the suit? That's a defense to any products liability claim

aaaand he used jet fuel. Okay. Yep

also this is so unrelated but having been on an LOTR kick where the ringwraiths constantly sniff things, my first response to Matt sniffing things was horror

okay so the only issue here is that Leapfrog wasn't under oath when he admitted to using jet fuel

but I can forgive that for the sake of pacing

"am I gonna go to jail" lololol dude

aside from them getting the letter of the law more right than they have so far, I really appreciate that they're also touching on the legal issue of when and to what degree you can actually ever...believe your clients

even if your clients aren't straight-up lying, they might just make dumb decisions, or even if they're not dumb or lying, they might just not mention something that's important bc they don't know it's relevant

and I know pacing is a thing, but like...come on, Jennifer

HE BOUGHT HER A DRINK

HELLO

[discussion from others in the discord about whether it's Jennifer's fault for ending up with a dumb client since she didn't want to take the case in the first place]

it's one thing to say "I don't want this case bc there's a conflict of interest" which doesn't help if the client signs a waiver. It's another thing to say "I don't want this case bc I looked into it and I don't believe my client, either give me more time to investigate or give the case to someone else because I can't ethically pursue a case that I don't believe I can prove"

okay the flirting tho

this flirting is actually good writing?

I like how they both are clearly trying to figure the other out, but they're doing it by asking questions sort of...sideways and not always giving clear answers

like there's a whole layer of conversation beneath what they're actually saying

"as someone who works for 'them' full time, I really don't have any gas in the tank for anything else." See...I feel bad for Jennifer, I do, but like...* sigh * this is what gets me about her character. No one forced her to take the job. Is it bad that I wish she'd somehow been blackmailed into it? Like, literally no choice?

"you can if you choose / be the best of both worlds" - IT'S NOT THAT GROUNDBREAKING OF AN IDEA BUT OKAY DISNEY

"we're all feeling this right, it's not just me" - best fourth wall break in the whole series lol

he's so awkward ad;lkdsak;ads

his laugh 🥺

gosh I LOVE that they introduced him as lawyer!Matt before introducing him as DD

"I'm billing you for the whole hour" - let's go

"I think I'm being attacked!" / "Legally or physically?" why is that so funny to me

"my famous secret lair"

oh is this the first time she wears her suit? The first time she wears her suit is after talking to Matt?

I'm sorry, Jen, Matt is the real hero of this show if you couldn't even -

never mind I've already ranted about that 😆

Matt: * jumps off a building*

I love him

okay the CGI is definitely not as grounded but the whole show isn't as grounded so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

she just - threw a car at him

that could kill him???

Matt conceding that her assuming he's a bad guy bc of his costume which he specifically chose to be scary is a fair point is so good

THE MUSIC

KETCHUP AND MUSTARD SHE CALLED IT OUT

[extended back-and-forth about the fact that we got a tiny hint of whump]

guess fucking what? my inbox is so fucking full right now i'm unloading all of this shit in one post.

For the 11th gotham memes: gothamites react to bruce being jacked in a tiktok he made with kids, like super yoked, ripped as hell

fucking hilarious thanks. i think i did it in one meme post, but i genuinely don't remember which one

i dunno which of the batfam would do this but one time i was sleeping over at a friends house and ended up on the floor bc the bed was so very small and i just stayed there because the rug was soft

that's a drunk jason move i don't know what to tell you

tim and jason are "i listen to pop punk" solidarity. whenever jason highjacks the batmobile theyll go on long ass car rides blaring mcr and paramore and then never talk about it again

as they should!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! tim: no jason it's my turn using the aux cord i gotta put on my jams jason: don't you dare put on weird shit tim: don't worry, you're gonna love this *plays fearless (taylor's version)

hear me out hear me out, red hood stans 🤝 nightwing stans t h i g h s

holy shit yes.

SNL au: Bruce breaks character when pretending to superman and says something like "I'm not superman! You've seen his gps!! It's from 2001!!!" @sabeanybabe

superman flies past the snl building the next day just to say 'actually it's from 2005, i'm not a heathen'

does your back hurt from carrying the batfam fandom

it hurts more from the exotic rock collection i keep in my backpack, but thanks for the concern.

I love your posts by why would you always leave the best parts in the tags?

as a treat for the people that check the tags ;) (and also because i'm committed to the short post aesthetic)

somehow your playlist was everything i never knew i needed. i mean it. this is my new favorite playlist.

and don't you dare get a new favourite playlist!

babe ur stoner tim playlist is exactly too perfect, earth is literally blessed by ur existence

babe thanks so much! i love my stoner tim playlist because it's just my usual playlist but people think it's an artistic choice that i put taylor swift and britney spears in there, when it's just what i unironically like listening to

JANDKSKDK BILLY RAY CYRUS ON THE STONER TIM PLAYLIST I LOVE IT IT

again it's not even an ironic choice, i know every single word and i genuinely like the song

The last chapter of Fundamentals of Casework has me crying at work. Thanks I love it @dudelookitsalesbian

oh babe, i'm sorry, but also, not sorry i love chapter 4 so much it's my lovechild with the 'mental illness' tag

soooo....stumbled on your tumblr by some stroke of fate??? read your DC fanfic first. which is PHENOMENAL btw. then found all the batmemes; the funniest thing EVER bc everyone forgets about regular old gothamites. kept scrolling and your blog pops up as recommended. clicked on the ao3 for shits and giggles and waddaya know?!?!? it's YOU!!! you're LEGEND!!!! ever seen that meme? it's a video of a cat that got into a baseball field and the two announcers get really invested in his escape attempt and start giving a play by play of the cat instead of the game. memeable moment: "GREAT stuff from the Cat!!!"

i seriously think about this ask every single day and it's so fucking funny to me that i've never seen the meme you're referencing, but i still find myself going 'GREAT stuff from the Cat!!!' whenever i see something funny. but wow i'm glad you liked this steaming pile of garbage

Fav dc character overall? And fav batfamily character?

don't ask me to pick between the loves of my life, but i can tell you i've cried about every single batfamily member and also wally west (my beloved)

What's your opinion on fans having a problem with batfam being "too big"? And some even claim that batfam is just "Bruce Alfred Dick Damian" and the rest of them are just "friends and allies" (source: reddit) Personally, I like batfam because of this reason but idk

stupid. a family can never be too big. i'm not that big a fan of like huge batfam stuff with everybody from every single universe, because as much as it's funny for bruce to have like 30 kids, it just feels a little too OOC for me.

This is the best tag I've seen involving the batfam, thanks for thinking of it

This is canon now @nctxrejects

lmao yeah i think at that point alfred has had to sit through like at least a dozen coming out talks and just has a pride flag collection in the attic that he pulls out whenever a kid comes out

idk why batfam hits different as compared to any other superhero family

bc it's found family and usually the other superhero families are almost all genetically related in one way or another

I don't know if you watch the umbrella academy but I saw your last post about batcest and saw the similarities. But the thing is (although I think it's weird) in TUA, they addressed it by saying "they were raised as weapons, not siblings" or something along those lines, which is simply not the case with batfam.

yeah i watched tua but i also thought it was ridiculous and they still treated each other as siblings so i didn't like the luthor/allison thing, and am glad they stopped doing that shit bc it fucking sucked.

Hot take: Batcest shippers are the same people who believe adopted siblings are not actual siblings

smoking hot take: batcest shippers are the people who watch 'my sister got stuck in the washing machine' porn

Duke was adopted by Bruce?

not technically no, but do i, tumblr user batarangsoundsdumb, look like i care?

True story but I had to change my freaking name because it used to be "Damien" and most people would go "OH LIKE DAMIAN WAYNE" like please I'm just tryna live

true story, but i don't actually think of damian when i hear the name damian, literally the first thing that pops up is damian darkh like bruh what?

apparently dc comics company supported comic stores by giving out new titles and stuff during the beginning of the pandemic to help them run and I just think that's wholesome

ah yeah that's so fucking cool, still don't like dc, the company, because this world is a capitalist hellhole and we're all owned by warner brothers or disney with no in between.

ayo looking at tumblr head canons and finding out bruce is actually a terrible father is a punch in the gut

lmao yes, in like 50% of comics bruce is a terrible father and it gives me whiplash

oooh I just saw the jason todd vs winter soldier post and the real question is: batman vs iron man

while iron man has like hundreds of cases of armor, batman could throw out an emp and have the guy dropping out of the sky in 2 seconds.

dickfast = fastdick = quickdick = quickie

magnum hot take

hey bata(?) just thought I'd let you know I have copied the obnoxious emoji and Billy Ray post for use on simping men going forth

thank you 😘🌷 (@spacebarsidecar)

why would you do that to your followers???? i get why i did it, but why would you???

what is scarecrow made the nightwing funko pop himself, like those diy-ers that paint over other ones

oh god no, horrible take, horrible take, that's a disgusting thought oh no

I see your HC that Bruce and Oliver fucked and raise you this: Dick and Roy ALSO fucked

yes they did and it was a horrible moment for jason to find out dick has fucked both of his best friends

"at this rate bruce adds like 1 child to his family every decade or so" Duke is introduced in 2013, Damian as Damian, not as an unnamed child, in 2006. And he is already 14 years old, Robins rarely remain Robins after 16 😬 It looks like a new Robin and Batkid will appear in a couple of years

i mean i can't wait? but somebody will probably die first tho, we're due for another major character death. my money's on either cass or duke this time.

BRO you're so right all of your Bruce's ex headcanons are amazing but they aren't ships, that's kinda wild. Like I don't want any peeks into how their relationship was I just want to see everyone make fun of them

lmao YES it's just i love bruce being a slut, like good for him.

I am in love with your posts your honour thank you

omg thanks are we like,, gonna kiss now?

The justice league needs to have a meeting to discuss how many of their members/partners have slept with bruce. Because through a combination of cannon & fannon (if DC wasn’t homophobic) we have AT LEAST: 1) clark 2) lois 3) oliver 4) dinah 5) john

Thats not counting villains or random civilians @dudelookitsalesbian

yes yes yes, they'll have a yearly meeting about how many of their collective exes could be out for revenge and batman's list just keeps getting longer.

tim was like "i'm drake now" and everyone was like ahh so your fursona is a dragon and tim was like pffffft no. ducks.

and what about it?

when steph's fighting livewire and she zaps her with lighting and nothing happens and then they both just. stand there awkwardly for a second and talk. yeah i couldn't stop laughing at that batgirl steph is the BEST

oh yeah that was fucking hilarious and i think it would be so cool and sexy of dc to give steph a little comic series,,, as a treat

Hi I absolutely adore all of yours "Bruce and Oliver very badly pretending they didn't fuck each other" memes

lmao i do too

I need you to know that “Bruce Wayne had frosted tips” is one of my favorite Bruce takes of all time it’s so galaxy brained. you’re right and you should say it

he also painted his hair blonde once when he was travelling and in conclusion, this is why he's being blackmailed by the gotham gazette.

you know my thing about gordon being branded as the only good cop in gotham is its a load of shit like arguably he's a good person and not working to screw people over or anything but the fact that he also works w. batman makes him a shit cop. like yea batman is better than the mob but its still illegal its still an abuse of power he just not making bank

babe, all cops are bad cops. (but yeah youre absolutely right, working with vigilantes makes you a shit cop, but also working against vigilantes just makes you an asshole cop yanno?)

ruh roh i think i’m about to add “so not yeehaw” every time i don’t like something

that's a very good vocabulary upgrade

somehow i feel like steph already knew. like babs obviously knew but i feel like bruce got high/drunk in front of steph and started telling his boarding school stories and steph was just like “oh you fucked up i’m never gonna forget this”

steph and bruce have weird uncle/rebellious niece dynamic and they just hang out sometimes and bruce will be like 'i once broke my arm when i tripped over a hedge when i was drunk so oliver drove me to the hospital on an electric scooter' and steph will just have to sit there with that knowledge in her head.

Hello I just wanted to tell you you are So right in all your steph opinions bc she is, in fact amazing and I think that's very sexy of you. Ps. Your Bruce/Oliver fic is hilarious

babe, thank you so much and yes steph is amazing and i love her and she deserves the world and she's the best member of the batfam hands down. also thanks

In Supersons we see a couple of kids that are implied to be Damian and Jon's children and the boy has laser eyes and can fly, so I asume he's not adopted. The girl, who calls Bruce grandpa, can also fly, btw. So it's canon (probably by accident) that Jon can have kids and he must have married one of Bruce's kids. (I'm hoping for Damian, mostly because any other of his children would be waaaaaaaaaaaaay too old.) @artemisa97

lmao that was probably an accident seeing as jon is a 17 year old superhero in the year 3000 (by the jonas brothers)

You know, I'm a die hard fan of your memes, but I gotta say one thing: if Gothamites actually took gas mask everywhere with them, then the Scarecrow would just be a weird dude in a weird costume, and not a villain oh so scary. DC really should just takes notes from you.

bold of you to assume there's no gothamite anti-maskers

How does it feel being the funniest person on this app?

horrible, next question.

I can't listen to Green Day or Billy Joel without thinking of your post about how Bruce got arrested at a Billy Joel concert @nightwings-kid

yeah that's your mistake, i on the other hand can't enjoy billy joel without thinking about the glee rendition of 'uptown girl'

I've FINALLY been watching the Batman animated series and I gotta say, after watching "the gray ghost" I am CONVINCED that Batman is a closeted super hero geek who was 100% freaking out the first time he met Superman and is just REALLY good at hiding it.

superman: so what do you do in your free time? batman, thinking about the superman fanfiction he's writing on the batcomputer: i have no free time

bruce and oliver be like boyfriends to co-workers 401k (do the justice leagues get 401ks??? not that bruce and ollie would need them, but-)

lmao yes just 400 thousand words of bruce realising 'oh dip oliver is such a fucking dumbass' (also i don't know what a 401 k is but i assume they don't?)

Gothamites would totally boo superman as he saves Gotham while batman is out. @meenje

he's like 'okay think about that next time you want to be saved from an alien octopus'

I just took long break from dc comics and I come back to see ric grayson ??

i think it's very cool and sexy of dc to see dick and just think 'you know what? let's just give him a traumatic brain injury' and then didn't develop his character in any real way

SPEAKING OF RIC GRAYSON, gothamites making confused memes out of ric grayson is much needed

'dick grayson is my taxi driver? can anyone explain what the fuck happened he looks like an italian plumber?'

i hate to say it but batfam are def "marvel characters" in that sense they are characters who are human but become superheroes unlike most dc characters who are gods trying to be human maybe this is why I like batfam

fair enough

#this is only like half of it #but at least you can get like a few answers #yanno fuck it #bataranswers #ask #asks #anon

Ok guys, I can't take it, I’m seriously at my limit here.

Uraraka vs Bakuboi was a sham of a fight and none of it makes any goddamn sense.

Uraraka deserved her win, for multiple reasons.

Shout out to @bnhasalt, who’s post reminded me how indignantly furious this arc makes me.

More under the cut over both how salty I am, and how Uraraka losing against Explodo Kills makes absolutely no sense, even narratively.

(Warning ahead for a discussion on sexism, misogyny, forced fanservice, the blatant favoritism towards That One Specific Character even if unearned in the narrative, and the general incompetence on how to write female characters.

I call B/kugo “Bakuboi” in this analysis bc I don’t want to write his Actual Name out and have it pop up in his character tags. Also, heads up, I’m sorry for how messy and long this rant is )

First, can I just say that Horikoshi is uhhhh Bad at writing female characters?

Which I’m sure many female fans already have an inkling about, but goddamn is it never more obvious than in the Sports Festival Arc. Because hey, at least the female characters are THERE and PARTICIPATING and have their own time to shine! This ISN’T one of those arcs that just stars THE BOYS, so that MUST mean this arc is equal opportunity! Right...?

God, I wish. I wish...

See, the girls are the minority of the Sports Fest in general. It shouldn’t be this way. And quite frankly, the fact that the classes (and UA in general) isn’t closer to being a 50/50 gender split also makes no sense, considering all children are raised in a society that values heroism EQUALLY and almost half the population is male and half female.

But, okay, let’s say I actually believe in the most illogical character ratio imagineable of there being a 2 boy to 1 girl, like this is another round of Naruto But It’s Superheroes So It’s Different I Swear.

We all know that there is going to be an emphasis on Izuku, since he’s the protagonist and he wants to make All Might proud during the Sports Festival.

Pre-Festival, there’s the reveal that Uraraka wants to do her best, with her main motivation of becoming a hero to give her parents a good life. Iida also wants to make his own family proud, specifically his brother, because of his family legacy.

Since these three are a trio, you’d think they’d all get some time to shine, right? Since they’re Izuku’s friends? And Izuku considers them his equals?

Yeah, no. Wrong.

This arc is dominated by Izuku, Shoto, and Bakuboi. That becomes clear very quickly.

I knew I shouldn’t expect much, since these three are powerhouses and also the most popular characters of the entire franchise (just look at the popularity polls) but still. I’d thought at least Uraraka would get a chance to shine! Since we get some character development and motivation revealed from her!

But the female characters in general get done so dirty this arc, despite it being first set up as a perfect arc to let the girls have just as much opportunity to participate as their male peers.

The most significant part of the female characters all getting an ‘equal time to shine’ is when He Who Must Not Be Mentioned and Kaminari trick the girls into dressing as scantily-clad cheerleaders. Which is both Tiring and Unncessary.

(This scheme also shouldn’t have worked because Momo is Vice Rep and she is an intelligent girl, top of her class. She would be smart enough to go to a teacher and actually double-check to see if Class 1-A girls really needed to cheer in the activities portion of the Sports Festival.

But noooo, Horikoshi can’t pass up a chance for FANSERVICE and forcing his underaged female characters to be uncomfortable for The Funnies! Thanks! I hate it!)

The female characters that move onto the final round of the Sports Festival, and thusly have the most attention, are: Uraraka, Mei Hatsume from Support, Momo, Mina, and Shiozaki from 1-B.

Wow, I sure wish these girls could like...show their worth. And maybe NOT get steamrolled and easily tossed aside in their matches because they’re facing Boys and Boys Have Strong Offense-based Quirks, That’s The Rules Folks.

(Before you come at me, I know that isn’t a rule that applies to every single male character in the series, but the strongest and offense-based Quirks tend to go to the male characters, while the female characters tend to get more support-based Quirks. It’s both sexist, but also an inherent trend in media in general. Please Just Let Women Punch Shit To Smithereens And Control The Elements.)

Yes, Mina and Shiozaki won their first rounds easily! And that’s great to see! But then we turn right around, and they're eliminated just as quickly in their second matches! Without even a fighting chance!

Good God, Shiozaki is literally PUSHED OUT OF THE RING. That’s it, that’s how she lost. Same thing with Momo in her match! And Mei straight-up forfeits because her character is based more on advertising her inventions/babies, so she doesn’t even fight.

So essentially, the female characters are shucked away if they’re not used to make the male characters look good, or there for fanservice, or there to show a shallow form of ~feminism~ so Horikoshi can pat himself on the back and say “See! Girls strong! I can write girls!”

And now we get to the meat of things: Uraraka.

Oh, poor Uraraka. Out of all the female characters, your potential was the greatest, and also the most squandered...

As a reminder, at the start of the arc, Uraraka speaks with both Izuku and Iida about how she wants to do well in the Sports Fest. They all promise to do their best. Izuku’s friends admit that they want to face him in later matches, because they want to be his equals.

Uraraka wanted to stand on the same level as Izuku and Iida, but she's the only one that doesn't move on past her first match!

And man, what an absolute bogus match it is.

Is it emotional? Yeah. Did I tear up when I watched it? Sure, every single time! But that's more because Uraraka is one of my favorite characters and I feel empathy for her and thought she deserved better.

The match gets to me because I also hate how Bakuboi is so fucking entitled and gets everything handed to him on a silver platter.

Bakuboi himself is written as, essentially, a Gary Stu. He always wins. ALWAYS. And even when he ‘loses’, he still manages to beat his opponents to the point that they need to be hospitalized (see Izuku vs Kacchan pt 1) or he makes his losses ALL ABOUT HIMSELF by twisting logic to fit his own narrative.

Remember how Bakuboi won against Todoroki in the final match? And was so pissed at him he was ready to Physically Assault Todoroki for him not being able to Get Over His Trauma to go 100% during their match? And even though Bakuboi LITERALLY won the entire Sports Festival, he’s so entitled that he demands a rematch because he feels like he “didn’t actually win”?

Not wanting a rematch for Todoroki’s sake, because Todoroki has been through a rough time and Bakuboi overheard Todo’s Tragic Abusive Backstory. Oh no, that would make too much sense and show too much character growth, we can’t have that! Bakuboi, even when winning the Sports Festival, demanded a rematch because he wanted to beat the shit out of Todoroki AGAIN to assert his dominance.

You see, Bakuboi is always rewarded in the narrative. Even when he loses it’s not seen as his fault. He’s never really punished for it, and he never learns any lessons from his losses.

Ah, and let’s not forget, Katsuki Bakuboi has the Best And Strongest Quirk Ever. Strong enough to even do the impossible and work to his advantage when it shouldn’t!

Like how he SOMEHOW manages to ‘beat the odds’ by breaking the laws of physics to win in Round 2. He manages to PUNCH THROUGH A QUIRK THAT CREATES A SOLID WALL from 1-B’s Tsuburaba in order to get back his team’s headband and move on to Round 3.

Or hey, his finishing move, Howlitzer Impact? Doesn’t make any sense either. It shouldn’t work as a...cyclone? Tornado? Drill thing?

Look, the logistics of it shouldn’t work. Yes, this is anime, but do you HONESTLY think that a teenager YEETING himself in a fast spiral will somehow accomplish anything more than spreading out some explosions in a circle around him? You honestly think any other character would be able to pull that bullshit off WITHOUT upchucking their entire lunch?

But because it’s Bakuboi, it works somehow. Because Bakuboi’s Quirk is The Shining Beacon Of Quirks.

Drawbacks? Sure, he SUPPOSEDLY has them. They’re noted in his character profile and everything. But very rarely do those supposed “drawbacks” ever actually come into play and actually, like, stop him. Or slow him down. Or, yknow, ACTUALLY WORK LIKE DRAWBACKS ARE SUPPOSED TO WORK.

Because apparently, human limits don’t exist for Katsuki fucking Bakuboi, nope, not at all!

One of Bakuboi’s "drawbacks" is supposed to be that he can't overexert himself or he can fuck up his wrists/his forearms will start to ache.

Cool cool cool, except...This rarely slows him down or effects him at all.

It’s actually astounding he hasn’t given himself Carpel Tunnel, because that would be a natural consequence to over-using his Quirk. Hell, he should be fucking up his arms almost as much as Izuku does to his own arms with a destructive Quirk like OFA! Explosions are dangerous and cause massive destruction, and that should be fucking up his arms SOMEHOW!

But, nope. Bakuboi is as fresh as a goddamn daisy. He can Never Have A Weakness.

(Another drawback is cold weather/Winter season is supposed to weaken his Quirk. Makes sense, since heat would help him produce more nitroglycerin sweat, and the cold would make it hard to sweat. But that sure as hell didn’t stop him during the Joint Training Arc in the future, and he didn’t struggle whatsoever to almost singlehandedly win that for his team.)

Not ONCE does Bakuboi’s Quirk ever effect him negatively and forces him to weaken! He keeps using his Quirk like it's nothing!!

And that’s the crux of the entire problem with Uraraka vs Bakuboi’s match.

Bakuboi apparently has “drawbacks” and “limits”, but he keeps somehow managing to break them without a sweat (ha) and without consequence, essentially PULLING WINS OUT OF HIS ASS.

Bakuboi was using his Quirk LITERALLY NONSTOP during Round 1, and kept using it to throw himself around in Round 2. Logically, he should’ve fucked his arms up and been at the very least SLOWED DOWN by the third round of the Sports Fest because he went past what were SUPPOSED to be his Quirk’s canonical limitations and logic!

It would've taught Bakuboi that he can't fucking steamroll through all his problems! He has limits! There are consequences to over using his Quirk! He’s a human being and he doesn’t have endless stamina like some sort of God!

Hell, every other character has these limits very clearly shown and outlined with their Quirks! Uraraka throws up when she over-uses Zero Gravity. Shoto, before using his fire side, would get frostbite. Iida’s Engines will stall after using Recipro Burst.

The other characters have limitations to their Quirks that slows them down, shows consequences for their actions, but Bakuboi NEVER HAS ANY.

THIS is why he’s a Gary Stu. THIS is why he won his match against Uraraka.

Not because of any logic. Because HIS QUIRK HAS NO FLAWS. And on top of that, THE NARRATIVE KEEPS REWARDING HIM, EVEN WHEN HE HASN’T EARNED IT.

Bakuboi SHOULD have been weakened from using his Quirk non-stop. Bakuboi SHOULD NOT have managed to pull out that “one final big explosion” that ruined Uraraka’s final attack.

Bakuboi was literally hissing about his arms hurting earlier, before their match started. And Uraraka forced him to use his Quirk so much that she managed to amass a ton of debris to knock him out and win the match. HIS EXPLOSIONS SHOULD HAVE SPUTTERED OUT, AND NOT SAVED HIM WITH THAT LAST-SECOND ASSPULL.

Like, I’m preeeeetty sure the entire reason Horikoshi wrote Uraraka vs Bakuboi in the first place was because he was attempting at writing Feminism.

See, Bakuboi Hates Everyone Equally, he’s not a violent misogynist for beating up Uraraka! It’s a Match, he Respects Women And Sees Them As Equals! The Crowd of Pro Heroes are the ones being Misogynistic and Judging The Match Early!

And look at Uraraka, she’s a Strong Woman! She keeps getting back up! That’s the Shonen Spirit! And she’s smart, too! Look at her amazing plan to win--

Oh, wait. Wait, nope. She didn’t win at all! :) Because our shining beacon of perfection Katsuki Bakuboi never loses!! :)) Look at all her hopes and dreams being blown to literal smithereens, because of Bakuboi’s ass pull, even though he shouldn’t have had enough time, sweat, and strength to muster up that last explosion!!! :)))

Can ya’ll feel my incandescent fury right now?

Because Horikoshi can NEVER write Bakuboi losing, Uraraka COULDN’T HAVE WON, even if her winning makes THE MOST LOGICAL SENSE.

This scene was supposed to show Uraraka’s strength. But it feels like Uraraka is being literally spit in her face, for even DARING to TRY to win against Katsuki fucking Bakuboi.

How much more impactful would Uraraka’s breakdown have been, if she had moved onto the Second Round with Izuku and Iida? How she would feel ashamed that she couldn’t keep up with them, with how Powerful their Quirks are? Especially after seeing Izuku and Todoroki’s amazing match, and seen how destructive and close a match it had been?

How DEVASTATED she would have felt, beating BAKUBOI--one of the strongest of their class!--and then STILL managing to lose the Sports Festival?

That would have been SO much more interesting! And even SADDER!! C’mon!

Uraraka SHOULD have won her match! It would’ve provided both character development for herself, and for Bakuboi! Bakuboi would realize he has limits to his body and Quirk, and realize not to underestimate his opponents! Uraraka would realize that she’s strong in spite of her Quirk not being necessarily combat-oriented, but still has a long way to go in being a Pro Hero!

But, nooooo. We can’t have CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, can we? We ESPECIALLY can’t have THE FEMALE CHARACTERS IMPACTING THE PLOT IN SOME WAY, either! Or--what’s this? FEMALE CHARACTERS ACTUALLY HAVING THE SPOTLIGHT FOR ONCE? Perish the thought!

The only good parts about this godforsaken arc are 1) Mei Hatsume 2) Hitoshi Shinso and 3) Izuku vs Todoroki fight and Todoroki’s Tragic Backstory Reveal. Everything else is hit-or-miss, if not completely hot garbage.

Anyways, thanks for coming to my TED Talk, and for reading this entire thing! Four for you, reader. You go, reader.

* justice smith, demi man + he/they | you know gabriel de leon, right? they’re twenty three, and they’ve lived in irving for, like, six years? well, their spotify wrapped says they listened to 1984 (infinite jest) by the used like, a million times this year, which makes sense ‘cause they’ve got that whole waking up in a body as heavy as the dead, emotions always on the verge of spilling over - you laugh before the punch lands, the belief that every encounter you have will be the last thing going on. i just checked and their birthday is october 31st, so they’re a scorpio, which is unsurprising, all things considered.

biography.

it’s only rly ever been gabe n his mom n the little new jersey suburbs that r always the same no matter where they go. they dn’t speak abt fathers or brothers or spain or anywhere other than the now, and how its constantly changing bt oddly the same.

his mom’s name is sonia n we love her. she worked a lot as a single mom n p much hs done everything on her own ever since leaving spain.

they dn’t talk abt spain bt we cn talk abt spain n hw sonia hd grown up partially there n partially in the states n hw she’d originally planned to live there forever bt the man she’d fallen in love with ws involved in some. high class dangerous shit n it ws safer fr them to part even if tht involved leaving everything she knew n loved <3

bt its like. ok. bc she hd gabe <3 n they dnt talk abt it so it practically nvr happened. n she tries her best as a mom n usually tht is enough.

they moved around a lot just bc sonia is a very. flighty person. anxious bt nvr seems tht way is just always. tense. gabe didnt think she ws capable of relaxing fr. a rly long time.

she wld commute 2 nyc every morning n after school gabe wld climb onto the train n by the time he got 2 her place of work she’d be just getting off n they’d get a slice of pizza n sometimes they’d go somewhere like central park or coney island (just fr the novelty) bt most of the time they just got back on the train home w/ gabe either doing homework or napping on her shoulder.

when gabe got a little older he’d sometimes skip school n take the train after sonia had already gone so he cld spend the day in nyc. he liked learning bt didnt rly like school. he nvr properly fit in bc of the amt of times they’d move so it felt like nowhere ws. right fr him.

got rly involved in. the punk scene as a young unsupervised teenager n tht led 2 a lot of like. shitty stick n pokes bt also a love of. very loud angry music n a sense of justice tht he held tightly in his fists. got mouthy towards bullies whether at school or in the scenes he involved himself in n started getting into a lot of fights bc of it.

during this, sonia ended up dating n marrying gabe’s stepdad who he calls craig sometimes bt i dnt think thats his name i wont lie to u guys. its partially a joke n partially purposeful disrespect bc gabriel does not trust a single man bt like. man. ‘craig’ is just an accountant. he’s fine he’s a good dude. they once bonded over like. the mets.

violence tw // anyways. when gabriel ws 16 he got into a super super bad fight tht ended rly. terribly n like listen. nobody died bt it ws just. it got blown up very out of proportion n gabe might’ve gotten expelled even tho he wsnt even the one who started it bt thts okay. ‘craig’, or paul, suggested tht maybe. a change of scenery wld b good fr gabe n b4 they knew it they were. moving to paul-robert’s hometown of irving, north carolina. violence end of tw //

he wld’ve complained more bt. fr sonia’s sake gabe kept it 2 himself. it made her happy 2 see them all get along anyways n like. idk he cld put forth tht little effort <3

bt honestly like. he didnt rly get into too many fights once they moved down here n even tho sometimes he ws like. ommgg. i hate this town .. its so washed up .. he still made friends n like. the only thing tht changed ws tht it ws a lil harder fr him 2 acquire illegal substances.

anyways. currently he hs a tattoo apprenticeship n is a professional piercer n like. he plays guitar n writes songs bt thts more of a hobby rn than anything else. mostly focused on paying his rent at port apartments bc as much as he. loves his mom he does not want 2 live with her forever <3 n thts okay!

personality & facts.

overall xtremely passionate person like god. feels emotions so intensely. every time he opens his mouth n talks abt an interest of theirs its just very like. u listen n ur like oh. gained 2 inspiration. thanks.

clings onto his friends p tightly bc he like. nvr rly stayed in one place fr super super long in new jersey so he nvr made very long term friends n now hes like. very clingy HLKDSHLKFSHLKDG also hates to b alone. subtle desperation behind interactions with ppl he rly wld like to be friends with.

like dnt get me wrong hes gotten into. sm fights bt thts mostly bc he cannot keep his mouth shut n he also cnt stand douchebags he like. always wants to tear them down prob bc he ws a victim of bullying. n u know what. we support him. otherwise he loves ppl bt esp if they hv similar interests 2 him.

like golden retriever who bites kind of. intensely loyal but at the same time is very skeptical. things tht good things do not last very long even though they’ve been doing already fr the last few years.

also bit of a nerd. they were nvr rly a big fan of school bt theres smth abt a good superhero comic tht draws their attention more than like. any english class evr. bt seven soldiers of victory? classic. big dc fan.

uh. very into like. hardcore music. hardcore rock. punk. if its loud n angry they r into it like so so much. hs sm tattoos is like. super covered in them its partially bc they work at a tattoo shop n partially bc they do not know hw to manage their money well.

ooohh u know what theyre. kinda moody i wont lie to u. very defensive like they dnt evr wna talk abt their past. has experienced Things n they do not wish to discuss them. will usually like. deflect frm conversations he doesnt wna hv.

in tune with nature. loves fkn taking walks. hangs out in the woods by abernathy creek n lilac ridge bc nobody rly goes there n its just. nice

tries not 2 take anything super seriously 2 the point where when he does take smth seriously its a little scary bc theyre super intense abt it. forcibly optimistic even tho on the inside he feels like a total pessimist. lots of. deep down insecurities tht he projects by attaching himself p firmly onto others. >.>

so so so energetic. can never stay still. always hs to be moving around. restless like tht. probably got it frm his mom. overly protective over the ppl he loves. probably got it frm his mom as well.

goes onto Tangents bt also divert frm those tangents n is generally all over the place.

always cold n always looks tired n like he hsnt slept in a thousand years n u know what. sometimes he just does not sleep.

oooohh theyre a vegan. totally into animal rights. devious little demi man beyond that .. loves horror n the paranormal n believes in like. every cryptic. will debate u on it.

erm not. the kindest 2 themself theyre a bit self destructive. impulsive. drives very fast n parties super hard. said i will hv my effy stonem moment. u dont hv to gabe.

bt ya! luvs oranges n reds n is maybe a short king. hs an eyebrow piercing n like. a lip ring i wont fk around here he IS living his best emo life in 2021. a little outdated on the trends bt thats okay. probably will tell u hes frm new jersey. its a personality trait. smokes the shittiest cigarettes ever.

wanted plots.

just ghosting along ,, dnt even exist 2 me ,, ;; god. firstly just the vast amt of ppl tht gabe hs like. spoken to romantically n then dropped suddenly. n then maybe like. one tht actually Hurt bt they cnt avoid each other bt theyre actively pretending each other doesnt exist n its. hurtful bc it ws like. actually smth nice bt <3 ykno FKLFSDHG

hey hey heyy c’maahn i’m just a little guy ;; n this is the vast amt of ppl tht gabe hs probably. pissed off n hs either fought or been on the verge of fighting just. unable 2 resist a good bicker-turned-duel.

just blistering in the sun ;; they cld b close friends bt also they cld also not b bt just ppl who. indulge in bad impulsive decisions with gabe. general bad influences on each other’s health n just. no good! party hard bt at what cost.

n also ;; like ... rly solid good friendships ... flings n maybe an exe or two tht either ended on good terms or just. horrendous, ppl they’ve distanced frm, ppl also frm up north, piercing customers, bt not tattoo customers bc im p sure they’d get fired if they were just tattoo’ing ppl willy nilly, etc.

Oh boy yall are in for an essay bc Garth needs more love.

How I feel about this character

I love him. The Pre-Flashpoint Garth checks all the “favorite character’ boxes for me.

As a character himself:

- He’s had these paradoxes to him. The quietest yet strongest in the DCU. Most powerful, but awkward and mournfully un-confident. Never loudly sexy, but comfortable in his kinkwear. Sasses all his family and friends, yet would (HAVE) die(d) for them. The tempest of the sea, fought gods, yet has the name ‘garden”.

- Writers love to put inspirational quotes in Garth comics. And those are A+++++. Considering they dont like him much and how sidelined he was, the fact he alone got those quotes (that’s not his) in all his important milestones of development made me feel at the same time sad, touched and giddy.

- A Prince, not charming, and forever one at that. Never called himself King, or Leader, or anything indicating he wanted to work for power and title. Reminds me of Prince Vegeta, another i love with all my heart, that way - he is one just because everyone calls him one - and technically only in title since his culture is lost. And is able to be one when he needed to, as in spat some sense into you if youre too chicken to do the right thing. He’s regal and honorable. I have a weakness for the ideal of loyalties of old times, and born, lost, unwilling loyalties are even better.

- I also have a weakness for mermaids, and the Aquaman GoT setting. He’s both. While Arthur’s more a scholar and teacher, Garth is a warrior, and all things sea-borne. He’s literally a magical himbo mer prince, the child of gods, and kings, AND a 90 anime character in the world of comics. Your fav could never.

- i identify with Arthur more often than not. I kinda want Garth to be my advisor and warrior. He has some rough spots to work on, but he’s trustworthy and dutiful and could ground you.

As a DCU character:

- Garth’s a hero. And the kind of hero who chose and WORKED to be kind in a world that’s alien and unkind to him. That made him a PERPECT hero in the DCU and on par with the Trinity in his brand of herosim. Sometimes, characters and their portrayals fell into the trap of trying to be COOL, to be SUCCESSFUL, instead of to be GOOD, and I think the former made them weaker. Garth is a strong one, because of how powerful – he COULD kill you - but kind and humble he is. He literally had to learn to hold his temper back to not solve problems with violence, and get over his insecurity of being solved aside by friends and family. In this way, when Garth is written RIGHT, he’s as hopeful as Superman, as principled as Batman, and as altruistic as Wonder Woman, despite trauma and tragedies. And save for Dick Grayson, I don’t think I could find another like him right off the bat if I searched all the DCU.

- While I hate that he’s so ignored and underused, I like that he’s incredibly understated throughout his existence. I don’t like when comics state a character is powerful or smart or something very cool and fails to deliver that logically in respect to other characters and satisfyingly. Takes understanding of history and a keen eye to notice characters like him *cough Dick cough* He’s like an old comics character that way, when you have writers SHOW the story and what made a character good and letting you decide what to do with them instead of writers, some of whom only got iffy fourth or tenth handed understanding of characters, TELLING you who they are. Spoken up hype is good, but sometimes it’s a DANGEROUS trap of both continuity wise and creative wise.

All the people I ship romantically with this character

I enjoy both GarthDol and LadGirl. Each women is important to him in a different way and formed different adorable dynamics with him. I like the innocence of Dolphin and adored the pureness and bittersweetness of young love in GarthTula. Garth cherished Dolphin, but Tula raised him, in a way.

My non-romantic OTP for this character

Dick. Garth has so few friends and Dick is the only one who liked and accepted him for all he is with NO prejudice, just as Garth has loyalty to Dick like no one else’s business. I wouldn’t mind if they became romantic. If Dick and Donna are platonic soulmates, I ship them the same way I ship SuperBat : superhero soulmates. They kinda only have each other as a COMPLETE EQUAL counterpart in every way.

My unpopular opinion about this character:

I actually have a few:

- I don’t think things like Princes and Princesses are boring, especially with Garth.

- I don’t like YJ Garth, both his personality and looks. And relating to the first question, i think Kaldur is a strong character, but a “weaker” hero character than canon Garth.

- While I don’t like what happened in the Didio regime aka the way he died, I’ve accepted his death. It’s fitting for him.

- A lot of the things said to be Dick’s in modern times are kinda more suited to Garth, and HAS BEEN his canon. I hate that they tried to slap things that's not fit for a character into him in expense of one another. Overprotective Batdad and incredibly cute, happy and cuddly Robin? That’s Garth with Aquaman. Family actually respected and listened to him and gave a shit if he was lost ? Garth. Potent power that’s coveted by some big organization disguised as family? Garth. Secretly royalty that’s sought after ? Garth.

- I’d say this for all the Dick stans like me who see this, and this relates to the previous questions : Garth’s The OTHER Dick Grayson. The OTHER one who creates a mantle ENTIRELY just for himself, the OTHER Titan leader. The OTHER multiversal constant in his memories and loyalty. The OTHER sum of the Trinity.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

This is just one thing and I’ve learned to accept certain ugly things that have been done to him, so I’d say this: More of a relationship with Wonder Woman. They are Dick Grayson and Superman the WARRIOR-DIPLOMAT edition. Let her be his aunt and other mentor since Atlan is no longer a cheeky young handsome mage. He needs GODS to be his mentors. Let them discuss humanity and solve man’s problems together. Let them do silly things and discover ice cream flavors together while talking shit about Arthur together. Let them be royal bisexuals together. Just let her be his other mom.

Anonymous fic: Maxwell develops telepathy

Did you say something? (Maxwell Beaumont)

Summary: After a regular night out with his friends (and having a little too much to drink), Maxwell Beaumont awakes the following morning to the discovery he has developed telepathic powers!

Word count: 2746

Author’s note: Thank you, anon, for giving me this silly yet intriguing fic idea! I had fun writing this and I hope you have a fun time reading it. :) This is an AU which takes place sometime after MC (Farrah) tells Liam she has fallen for Maxwell and wishes to be with him instead. Also, this is kind of long bc it is only going to be ONE part! If anyone else has a fic suggestion shoot me an ask!

—

I’m tired of having to carry this house on my back. “Maxwell, get up.”

Maxwell stirred slightly, head pounding, not wanting to move. You’ve got to be kidding me, why is he so difficult. He felt someone shake him which caused him to finally open his eyes to see his brother, Bertrand, standing over him. Shielding his eyes from the morning light, Maxwell noticed his brother’s angry face.

“Whose being difficult, Bartie?” Maxwell asked, reaching a hand over to search his nightstand for medication, anything to relieve him of his pain. Bertrand shook his head at his younger brother.

“Pardon me?”

Maxwell finally found a pill bottle and checked the label, headache relief, perfect. “You said something about someone always being difficult?” He swallowed two pills. Bertrand looked slightly taken aback.

“I..said no such thing.” Maxwell noticed his brother look around, seeming slightly more tense than usual. “Now get up, and do not think I am afraid to pull you out of that bed myself.” And with that, Bertrand turned a heel and started to head out the door. I wish he would grow up.

“I can still hear you, you know!” Maxwell called after his brother who either must not have heard him, or, to no surprise, chose not to respond.

After pulling himself out of bed, into the shower, and then into a clean set of his usual clothes, Maxwell continued on with his day. His headache seemed to have subsided for the most part, all that was left was a slight, dull ache. On his way to find his friends, he started to notice the house workers talking aloud more than usual.

I hope my husband likes this shirt I bought him.

My parents seem to be fighting more than usual, are they going to get a divorce?

Here comes Maxwell. Look at him in those jeans, they really show off his tight as—

Maxwell spun around quickly to face a short female scullery maid who looked up with a crooked smile. If she is standing alone, who was she talking to? “That’s...not a very appropriate thing to say in a workplace.” He said quietly. The woman’s expression turned to one more confused.

“I didn’t say anything, Mr. Beaumont..?” Maxwell let out a sigh.

“It’s okay you don’t have to lie, these jeans do look good on me. Just maybe next time keep your thoughts to yourself...” Once again the woman’s expression changed, this time to pure shock. Maxwell didn’t wait for a response before turning back around and hurrying to his destination. He came into the dining room where his friends sat, immersed in conversation. Drake looked up and noticed as he walked in.

“Oh look, he finally wakes.” His tone was neutral just as his expression was, just how it always is. Maxwell didn’t notice as he smiled largely. “You guys will never believe what I just heard this chick say about me!” He quickly sat down at the head of the table and began to recount what he heard the man say.

I can’t tell if he’s making this up or not. Maxwell quickly looked to Liam. “I couldn’t make this up if I wanted to!”

Liam let out a small chuckle. “Wow Maxwell, it’s almost as though you read my mind.” Maxwell brushed this comment off as he noticed Farrah smiling at him.

He’s just so cute when he tells these bizarre stories. The way his smile lights up any room he walks into…Maxwell grabbed his girlfriend’s hand and gave it a squeeze. “I love the way your smile looks too.” He kissed her on the cheek, not noticing her slightly widened eyes.

As the group spent the morning chatting and eating breakfast, Maxwell began noticing more and more everyone claiming they aren’t saying things he clearly heard them say. Olivia denied ever saying Drake’s hair looks like a mop, Hana denied saying Liam smiles too much, and Farrah denied saying Penelope talks about her dogs too much. He was confused why his friends would say such things and then lie about it, except it was especially weird because everyone else also said they never heard then saying it. Why is it he is hearing things people aren’t even saying? It’s almost as if…

W A I T. Maxwell’s aching mind started connecting the dots. ‘It’s almost as though you read my mind.’ Liam’s words rang in the back of his mind. What if he did read Liam’s mind? “Oh. My. God.” Maxwell shot straight up out of his chair, it falling onto the floor due to the momentum. Everyone’s conversations abruptly stopped as they stared at him, stunned.

What is this idiot on about now. Olivia’s words rang through his head but he noticed no one looked at her, no one acknowledged she even said anything. Holy crap! I can read minds! Maxwell’s own thoughts shielded him from hearing his friends’. He yearned to yell his new found powers from the rooftops.

But he didn’t.

He looked onward to his friends and realized no one was going to believe him. They would all think he was joking and just ‘being Maxwell’. Well all of them except maybe—

“Maxwell, are you okay…” His eyes landed on Farrah who was also standing up now, her hand gently touched his arm. What is going on with him? He grabbed her hand with his own and pulled her toward the door.

“I HAVE TO TALK TO FARRAH ALONE, NO ONE FOLLOW US! IT'S SUPER IMPORTANT AND TOP SECRET!” Ew, why do you have to announce it... He heard someone’s thoughts as they exited the room. His hand pulled her along as they rushed up the stairs to his quarters. He nudged her inside then looked down both ways of the hall before closing the door and turning the locks. He turned around, out of breath. “Farrah, you’ll never guess—”

She was hastily taking her clothes off, a seductive smile spread across her face. “Farrah, no!” He rushed forward and started pulling her clothes back on. Wait what? She looked up at him, stunned and confused. “That’s not why I brought you in here! As much as I love having sex with you, there is a wildly more important topic to discuss right now!”

Farrah crossed her arms angrily over her now covered chest. “Well, what is it then?” She tapped her foot. I can’t believe he just said no to having sex, he has never said no to having sex.

“I have to said no to having sex, remember that one time when Sir Wigglesworth was watching! I couldn’t do it in front of his innocent corgi eyes!” Maxwell responded to what he now understood were her thoughts. Farrah let out a quiet gasp and took a step backwards.

“How did you..?” She looked at him, completely stunned.

Maxwell stepped towards her, his hands held slightly in the air. “Farrah, I can read minds!”

For a second she was silent before she let a much louder gasp. “WHAT THE FU—” Her words were stopped by Maxwell’s hand covering her mouth.

“Shhh!” He shushed her and peered towards the door behind him. She licked his hand and he pulled it away. “Ew!”

“Maxwell Percival Beaumont, you cannot read minds!” Farrah let out a huff.

“Yes I can!”

“No you can’t, that’s not possible!”

“I can and I’ll prove it to you.” Farrah’s eyes narrowed at him, his eyebrows raised back at her.

“Fine.” Where did we first meet?

Maxwell smiled at her softly. “New York. You were waiting tables where we went for Liam’s bachelor party.” Farrah mouth fell open. I’m thinking of the number 13,491. “13,491.” Green. “Green.” You’re freaking me out. “I’m freaking you out.” Maxwell’s eyebrows raised once again as she held a hand to her still open mouth.

...

“DUDE.” Farrah’s open mouth turned to a giant smile. “My boyfriend is a superhero!” She threw her arms around his neck and gave him a sloppy kiss.

“I’m a superhero!” Maxwell excitedly said back as their lips separated.

Farrah pulled away from him. “How did this happen? Can you only read minds?” She gasped. “Can you also do the thing Professor X does where he can talk to people in their minds!”

“I don’t know and I don’t know!” Maxwell smiled widely at her nerdy X-Men reference. “Let’s find out!”

They both stared hard into each other’s eyes, Farrah thinking up a question. What’s your favorite thing about me? He concentrated really hard, attempting to send his thoughts to her.

Your boobs.

She playfully hit him on his arm. “Maxwell!” He let out a chuckle as her voice almost cracked.

“I’m kidding, everything!” My favorite part about you is everything. She smiled at him once more.

“You sap.” She blushed as he stroked her cheek slowly.

“Only for you.” His expression quickly changed back to excitement. “Do you want to go freak everyone else out!”

“Is that even a question?!” This time she was the one who grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the room.

Everyone had moved from the dining room to the sitting area, and Bertrand had joined them, they looked up as the couple came into the room. “Hi, guys!” Farrah waved, Maxwell gave his usual silly grin. Why are they both always so giddy. Olivia rolled her eyes.

Hana smiled at the two of them. “Where did you run off to?”

“Oh you know, we were off being our usual giddy selves.” Maxwell draped an arm around Farrah and gave Olivia a wink. She did not seem as satisfied with the interaction.

“How—” Olivia’s words were interrupted by Bertrand.

“Who cares what they were doing, what matters is they are here now. It’s time we can discuss the social gathering we are to host tomorrow evening.” His posture straightened. Please say Maxwell remember’s how important it is…

Maxwell clapped his hands together. “Of course, dear brother! For I always remember how important our bashes are for the Beaumont family!” For the first time ever Bertrand actually looked at a loss for words.

I must ask if my dogs can attend!

“Penelope!” Maxwell turned straight to her. “The Beaumonts, as well as Sir Wigglesworth, would be extremely glad if your dogs could attend!” He gave her a big smile and she nodded slowly back at him.

Did you see the look on her face! Maxwell heard Farrah’s thought and turned to smile at her before sending one back to her. Yes! This is amazing! Farrah quickly returned his smile.

I wish she still smiled at me like that…Maxwell’s eyes snapped to Liam who was staring at Farrah. His eyebrows lowered and he angrily sent a thought out without realizing. Hey, man cut it out! Liam’s mouth fell slightly open.

Great, now my conscience is manifesting as Maxwell as if I don’t already feel guilty about my feelings.

It’s not your conscience it’s me! Maxwell raised a hand and waved at Liam, who looked at him and had an expression of mortification. Yeah that’s right I can hear your thoughts!

But...how?

I don’t know how! But I can! So keep your thoughts to...no one! Because I can hear them even if you keep them to yourself. Maxwell gave him an angry expression, he never usually got jealous, but it was Liam. The actual king. He’s handsome AND kind, who wouldn’t want him?

Maxwell saw Liam seemed more sad, instead of thinking them, he mouthed the words ‘I’m sorry’

“It’s alright..” Maxwell said out loud with a sigh.

“What’s alright?” Hana asked him. Maxwell looked up and noticed the group all staring at him. Did I just say that out loud?

“Umm..” Maxwell bit his lip out of embarrassment.

Farrah stepped forward slightly. “You must not have heard me say I was sorry that he couldn’t wear his squid suit tonight, it’s being..washed.”

“Oh, I’m sorry, Maxwell.” Hana gave him a sad smile. “You can always wear it next time!”

Maxwell nodded then gave Farrah’s hand a squeeze. Thank you.

Of course, I’m always here for you.

The conversations continued on as usual, everyone discussing the events for tonight. Maxwell stayed silent, for the most part, as he instead listened in on the thoughts of everyone around him. They mostly were thinking about what to wear, except Drake who was thinking about whiskey, and Olivia who was wondering if she could bring knives. Both of which Maxwell telepathically told Farrah and she assured the two about their concerns. This furthered the confusion settled in the room, as everyone wondered how Maxwell and Farrah seemed to be reading their minds. Maxwell even heard Sir Wigglesworth thoughts, which could be slightly disturbing for the corgi. They ranged from pets to treats, to...other dogs. He tried his best to block those ones out, he tried his best to block most people’s out. He was coming to realize hearing people’s thoughts isn’t as fun as it sounds.

Eventually night fell and everyone retired to their rooms. As Maxwell was getting ready for bed, his door swung opened and he expected it to be Farrah, but didn’t expect her to be followed by Liam. They both rushed inside and she shut the door after them.

“He knows!” Farrah whispered to Maxwell as she took her place beside him.

Maxwell sighed. “Yeah, I know. I heard his thoughts and accidentally talked to him—”

“Inside my head.” Liam finished Maxwell’s sentence with a chuckle. Farrah looked between the two of them.

“Wow some bonding experience, huh!” She smiled at the men and they both gave smiles back. Except Maxwell’s was more sad than happy. “What’s wrong?” Farrah asked him, searching his eyes for an answer. You can tell me here. Maxwell shook his head at her and sighed once more.

“I thought this would be more fun. But it’s hard hearing what people think. About me, about you, about everyone.” He paused before continuing. “It was fun for the beginning, but now it’s tiring having to hear Drake talk AND think about whiskey. And having to hear our dog think about everything he wants to hump.” Farrah’s eyes widened at the last comment. “And what if when they find out, they think differently of me? I don’t know..I think I’ve had my fun but now..I want it to go away.” She stepped forward and pulled him into an embrace.

“I’m sorry…” She pulled away as Liam grasped Maxwell’s shoulder.

“We had no idea how hard it was for you.”

Maxwell smiled sadly at his lover their friend. “I think I’ll be okay. Maybe tomorrow a super mutant will come to destroy the Earth, and the only way to stop him is by reading his mind and saying his deepest darkest secret aloud.” They both laughed at this, and he felt less sad. Less alone. Liam looked at the couple and understood they needed some time alone.

“I’m going to go to my room.” He gave Maxwell’s shoulder another squeeze, smiled at Farrah, and then left the two alone.

I love you. Maxwell softened at Farrah’s words in his head, he brushed her blonde hair off her forehead and placed a kiss where it used to lay.

And I love you. She smiled at him before they both got into bed, drifting into sleep with arms wrapped around each other.

The following morning Maxwell awoke feeling more refreshed, and way less hungover, than the previous one. Farrah’s side of the bed was already vacant, which told Maxwell his friends awaited his arrival at the breakfast table. He got ready and headed down to them, taking his place at the head of the table just as the morning before. When the conversations got quiet, Olivia spoke to Maxwell.

“So, Maxwell. How is it you all of a sudden seem more...aware of what is going on?” He took a big bite of eggs and grabbed some bacon in his hand before responding.

“Oh, it’s because I woke up yesterday with telepathy.” He spoke between chewing his food, and took a bite of bacon. Everyone was silent for a moment before they started giggling and laughing. As he joined in the laughter, his eyes met Farrah’s amidst the minor chaos and he gave her a wink.

Maybe this won’t be so hard after all. He thought to himself as he looked around at his smiling friends.

Interview Jitters (pt.2)

Word Count: 1.1k Pairing: Tom Holland x reader

Summary: A few months after your previous press junket Y/N and Tom had finally started dating. Not too long into the relationship, Y/N had begun auditions for the role of Captain Marvel and luckily got it! Because you guys were the youngest members of the MCU and the hottest new superheroes everyone was obsessed with, in the months following the Avengers: Infinity War madness you guys were put together to do interviews and panels at events like Comic-Cons. You two had decided to keep a secret from the fans; you were just getting used to the influx of people who were supporting you and you feared that because you two had already been shipped so much that your relationship would be put on an unrealistic pedestal. However, of course, your boyfriend had a hard time not starting at you and smiling like an idiot in love during these things and the fans were starting to become more and more suspicious. Author’s Note: whaddup someone requested a pt.2 to this and seeing all the ugly that went down at that one event with those certain people made me want to give yall some nice fluff bc we all deserve it! also i hit bad writers block with my series young dumb and broke and didnt update when i was supposed to and i feel real bad and ill hopefully have the next chapter by the end of the week ok. if you ever have a request or something for me pls don’t ever hesitate to send it to me! Also feedback is always welcomed!! love yall <33

Here’s Part One!

Here’s my Masterlist!

You and Tom were laying lazily in bed waiting to be escorted to your designated events at Comic-Con. It was your second day there and luckily you were always put together to do stuff so you got to spend a lot of time with your boyfriend. While waiting you two were just scrolling through your socials. You were checking twitter and noticed you were getting a large amount of screenshots sent to you of Tom staring at you with heart eyes during an interview. A lot of tweets all said something along the lines of “are you sure nothing is going on between you guys?”

You smiled and pointed your phone in his direction.

“Baaabe you need to stop,” you said giggling.

“Stop what?! That’s just my face love!” he said trying his best to seem innocent.

“You know what I mean babe!”

“I’m sorry that I’m dating the best girl in the world and my face isn’t doing a good job of hiding it!”

You climbed into his lap and quickly pecked him on the lips.

“You know what I mean spidey.”

He smiled into the kiss and leaned his forehead against yours.

“Why can’t we just tell them?”

“In due time my love,” you said giving him a reassuring smile.

There was a knock at the door and the to of you embarked on your day full of activities.

After a while of photo ops and signing things you finally embarked on a few interviews. The both of you recognized one of the interviewers which was the same woman who did the interview where she showed you the clip of Tom. You both smiled at her and greeted her with a hug.

“What a small world!” Tom said as you both sat in front of the woman.

“It’s so nice to see you both again Y/N, Tom!”

“It’s nice to see you too! It’s genuinely nice to see a familiar face amongst the madness,” you said smiling.

“Now not only are you too in the same movie but you guys get to play such iconic characters in one of the biggest movie franchises in the world! Y/N, getting a role like the iconic Captain Marvel must be so overwhelming. What was that process like? How have the fans been reacting?”

“Oh my god it was overwhelming. I remember a lot of 3 a.m. phone calls to this guy over here and I was just bawling after one of the auditions yelling about how I would never get the part because I wasn’t good enough for that and now fast forward a few months and I’m here and its all getting so real!”

“You didn’t think you’d get the part? Are you insane?!”

“She for some reason always doubts her skills! Like I spent a majority of the phone call telling her to calm down and that she was genuinely one of the best actresses ever. Also she did so much research she had comics and stuff always strewn about her apartment, I knew in the back of my mind there’s no way she can’t get this part. Are you joking? Also I wouldn’t doubt Marvel would hire her based off personality alone.”

“Took a lot of trips to her apartment there eh?”

“Well no I mean we’d facetime sometimes too,” he said leaning into his hand, using some of his fingers to cover the cheeky smile he had on his face.

“Also the fans have been super nice! I was quite scared to enter a franchise like this considering the fans will either love ya or hate ya but I’ve gotten mostly good feedback! I think people were just happy to have me and this kid back in action together,” you said trying to change the subject in an inconspicuous way.

“Okay so I know the fans have a lot of questions about the two of you and your love life, but I have a question I feel I have to really get off my chest. Who do you guys reckon would win in a battle: Captain Marvel or Spider-Man?”

“Captain Marvel. No doubt about it, no questions asked, no discussions needed,” you said instantly with a huge smile on your face.

“Excuse me? I reckon Spider-Man would put up a good fight.”

“Oh yeah there’s no doubt in my mind that Spider-Man would definitely try his best, I’m just saying Captain Marvel would absolutely crush him.”

“Why?”

“Okay look spoiler alert if you haven’t watched Infinity War,” you said looking into the camera, “but who does Nick Fury contact to save the world? Captain Marvel. All the while spidey is too busy being dust in someone’s vacuum cleaner. That alone should be an indication of the sheer power that is Captain Marvel.”

You sat there looking into the camera with a proud smile on your face.

“Now that was a low blow,” he said smiling at you.

“I mean she has got a point,” the interviewer said amidst laughter.

After a few more questions the two of you finished the interview and moved on to a panel that included a fan Q & A. The two of you were enjoying answering questions and being able to have some friendly banter. Suddenly the next person asking a question was what seemed like a young mother with a child.

“Hiiii um, my 5-year-old Hunter has a question for you Y/N.”

You got super excited and even stepped closer to the edge of the stage and knelt to look at the tiny five-year-old who was dressed as a tiny StarLord.

“Oh my god hi Hunter!! You are so adorable buddy! What’s your question?”

“Hi Y/N, um, my question is if you would be my girlfriend?”

The crowd erupted in aw’s and cheers. You smiled at the tiny five-year-old.

“Of course Hunter. I would never say no to a little tiny StarLord like you!”

The crowd started clapping and aw-ing again.

“Dude did you just steal my girlfriend?” Tom said amidst laughter.

The crowd erupted in screams. You sat at the edge of the stage and immediately started dying of laughter. You turned back to look at Tom who was trying to hide his red face with his hands but who was also dying of laughter. You could tell he let it slip out without thinking about it.

“Wait so are you guys dating?” the moderator said trying to get a clear answer.

“Are we all surprised that it was Tom that let this cat out of the bag?” you said walking back to the couch and taking a seat a little closer to Tom.

He wrapped one of his arms around and pulled you in for a quick kiss, causing the crowd to go crazy once again.

“Hey, at least this one is far less embarrassing than the last time! This time people actually know you like me back” he said smiling at you.

Yes, I do. However, I decided to do an online university instead of just a regular uni, but I hope it's gonna be nice. And thank you so much, it means a lot to hear this, really💖I hope you know how amazing and strong YOU are.💞 for the questions: 1, 3, 4, 6, 11, 13, 18, 19, 20 (I'm so sorry it's so many, I'd have loved to just ask you all of them bc they're so good😭)

now lets go, its q&a time hehe!

1. Which 3 members of Ateez would you get on well with the most, and why?

im almost 100% sure id get on well the most with hongjoong. i think its because we’re both scorpios and i get on well with every scorpio i know (im not an astrology expert tho lol). imo hes a very opinionated and thoughtful person, so we’d have a lot of deep talks, which we’d both enjoy. also i think our humor might be kinda similar, so we’d always laugh at our own jokes even if no one else understood. oH and we’d be able to comfort each other in the best possible ways, since we’d always sort of know, how the other one is feeling. next one is yeosang. (again, i get on well with geminis irl hehe!!) i think we would enjoy each other’s presence a lot, even if we were just silently sitting next to each other. i have the feeling that he’d always be there for me and he’d never get angry at me if i behaved like an ass. and the third one that im gonna mention is mingi. i feel like he would always make me smile without even trying, and thats something i adore. he’d be my happy pill and i would be the one who would bring him down to earth.

3. What genre of movie would you watch with each member?

wow thats an interesting question!! i’d watch some psychological thriller/drama with hongjoong, bc i feel like we’d love to discuss our thoughts abt the movie afterwards.

i’d like to watch some romantic comedy with seonghwa,, akdjkjw he’d blush so hard during the romantic scenes ajkaskhd

CARTOON WITH YUNHO omg thats a dream!! i think he’d get soft and it’d be fun to watch him being all cute and such hehe. or any harry potter movie omg

i think watching some fantasy or sci-fi movie with yeosang would be rly nice. or maybe a comedy because his laugh has healing abilities hehe

as for san, probably a sci-fi movie with superheroes and stuff!! i think he’d be so excited

horror movie with mingi is a bIG YES hehehe i bet i’d die looking at him shitting his pants bc he’d be so scared lol and same goes for wooyoung, but i think he might be the one laughing at me being a scaredy cat lol

hmmm maybe an action movie with jongho, for example something like james bond!! i think it’d be fun to watch a comedy with him too!!

4. Which Ateez member do you personally relate to?

seonghwa because of his iconic “smiling through the pain” smile and hongjoong!!

6. Do you have any similarities you share with any member?

i really love dancing just like yunho, its a big passion for both of us. and i feel like im the quiet type like yeosang . ohhh and im in love with ear piercings just like hongjoong, i already have 5 of them and planning to get more!!

11. What fruit do you associate the members with? (lol this made me luagh)

i think we can all agree that jongho is an apple, theres no other way anyone could answer this lmao hongjoong is a mango, seonghwa is a blueberry, yunho is a strawberry, yeosang is grapes, san is an ananas, mingi is a banana and wooyoung is an orange!! (it just the way i feel, idek lol)

13. Is there a (not ateez) song that makes you think of a member?

oMG THIS QUESTION YESx524!!!!!

whenever i listen to ‘press play and escape’ by teflon sega, ‘im the one’ by bloo and ‘sinking down with you’ by vinxen i think of hongjoong

‘if i get high’ by nothing but thieves. ‘killing me slowly’ and ‘goodnight’ by eden remind me of yunho

and i always think of seonghwa when i hear ‘baby shark’ lol

18. Rank your bias’ looks throughout all Ateez eras.

ughh yunho looks gOOD all the time but if i rly had to choose id say 1. zero to one era 2. one to all era 3. all to zero

19. Who do you think has the best eyebrows in Ateez?

:DDDD i dont think ive ever focused on their eyebrows lol i had to check them out before answering this ajhdjwg nd like they all have nice eyebrows?? hmm maybe yeosang i cant decide hehe

20. What job do you think would suit each member if they weren’t idols?

hongjoong would be a good artist, or a fashion designer. seonghwa maybe a lawyer?? (idk it was hard to think of anything else:o) im sure yunho would be an amazing dance choreographer/teacher!! yeosang....hmm a botanist or barista. san uhh probably an actor....? mingi’s a PRESIDENT for sure whos with me on this lmao wooyoung mayhaps a kindergarten teacher hehe and jongho would make a good fitness coach!!

im sorry for making this so long i couldnt hold myself back hehe it was so fun!! thank you for asking my angel 💖💖💖

#im rly sorry hehe #i didnt proof read this since i dont have much time now bear with me pls #atiny anon #answered

REVIEW: FAN EXPO VANCOUVER AT THE VANCOUVER CONVENTION CENTRE - MARCH 2ND TO 3RD, 2019

The first panel on Saturday was Mehcad Brooks, currently known for his work as James Olsen/Guardian in CW’s Supergirl. He had an inspiring panel, touching on race and gender, social media ‘keyboard warriors’ who attempt to put others down, music (his stage name is King Gvpsv), and doing things one is passionate about. He discussed how DC Comics’ Jimmy Olsen was historically Caucasian, and how proud he was to be apart of creating diversity, portraying a black male version on the show. In fact, one superhero he would love to play is Bruce Wayne/Batman. That being said, he noted the importance of “creating your own superheroes” if you’re passionate about creativity, whether that be starting from the drawing board or adding attributes to those already brought to life – Mehcad is currently developing a superhero of his own, with a graphic novel to stay tuned for.

The one statement he said that stuck with me was, “perfectionism is the highest form of procrastination.” As an artist, it’s the best excuse not to do anything, and he uses that to fuel his spiritual journey as a creator and human being. I was really impressed with his connection to the audience in his words, and look forward to seeing his projects as they continue to unfold.

I caught a brief portion of George Takei’s self-moderated panel, hearing him take the stage with an emphatic “Oh Myyy” (to the delight of audience members)! He recognized the original Star Trek fans, and the new generation that keeps the franchise alive and thriving, noting the success of CBS’ Star Trek: Discovery. He recognized the importance of keeping ideals in mind (“in an insane reality” as the current situation in the US). A fan asked his opinion if achieving a utopia in the real world was a possibility, to which Takei replied no, but it is “still a dream that we should aspire to reach.” Takei is currently in Vancouver filming AMC’s The Terror, set in a Japanese internment camp during WWII.

The Flash panel was wild, this cast knows how to have fun. Featuring Tom Cavanagh, Robbie Amell, Carlos Valdes, Danielle Nicolet and Hartley Sawyer, the panel had mini donuts a plenty (they asked, and devoted fans delivered, not once but multiple times throughout their time on stage)! They talked briefly about the upcoming episode set to feature King Shark vs. Gorilla Grodd, and the large budget they had for its special effects. Danielle addressed the absence of Joe West this season (cast member Jesse L. Martin took a medical leave after suffering a back injury this past summer), but said he would be back on-screen soon. Amell, who no longer appears as Ronnie Raymond/Firestorm, is currently working on Amazon’s Upload, with sci-fi/action film Code 8 having premieres across the globe beginning in April. Cavanagh joked about Amell moving on from The Flash to “more expensive projects” and “greener pastures,” and this continued to be a running joke throughout the panel. New additions Nicolet and Sawyer were praised, for their work ethic and what they brought to their characters DA Cecile Horton and Ralph Dibny/Elongated Man.

During fan question period, Amell was asked about the crowdfunded Code 8 and working with cousin and Arrow star Stephen Amell (who he insisted was pronounced “steph-in” rather than “steve-in”). The pair always hoped to collaborate after having brief interactions in a past Arrowverse crossover, and were happy to do so with the sci-fi flick filmed in Toronto in 2017. There were also plugs for the Tom Cavanagh directed heist short Tom and Grant, which is now available for streaming on Vimeo. One of Cavanagh’s favourite and most challenging scenes, was when Reverse Flash killed Cisco Ramon (Valdes’ character) in Season 1’s “Out of Time.” One daring fan asked Valdes if there was truth to the rumours he’d be leaving the show after Season 5. He stayed mum, answering with an appropriate “I have a donut in my mouth.” It was a nice attempt. Nicolet and Valdes only had kind words to say about co-star Danielle Panabaker’s directing debut in episode 18, shot in February, describing her as a “boss lady” and “in control.” It was a fun panel, and you can see the family atmosphere created on-set translates similarly to their interactions with one another off-set.

During breaks in between panels, I had an opportunity to roam around the floor, to get a glimpse of the vast number of retailers, artists, and cosplayers on-hand for the event. I purchased a few postcards from illustrators Jenny Hsieh and chanteii – they have incredibly adorable artwork of shiba inus and cats, respectively. I also had to buy a couple of stickers from PIKARAR, because of my love for animals, naturally. There were booths with Funko pops, wigs, pins, medieval swords and armour, unique jewelry, kimonos, tees, fan art, boxes chalk full of comic books, and other pop culture memorabilia. It was overwhelming (in a good way)!

We stopped by the booth advertising locally filmed web series Followers: “An Internet Superhero Story.” The plot line is “a group of superheroes inspired by social media must collaborate together to take down Hater, who threatens to destroy the internet.” The trailer looked amusing with their special effects and action sequences, DIY costumes, and I look forward to checking out more of the episodes online!

youtube

On the cosplay side, I’m not too knowledgeable on anime/pop culture characters (I’ll be the first to admit this!) but there were many amazing costumes. I saw a Spider-Gwen posing for pictures with young girls, Iron Man, Deadpool, Harley Quinn, Disney princesses, and characters I was told were from popular video games League of Legends and Overwatch.

On Sunday, I sat in on some of Pamela Anderson’s panel. Anderson is known for her modelling and acting work in Baywatch and Home Improvement, but currently uses her platform to do activist work for animal rights, our environment, and climate change. I heard her response to a fan’s question: “everything you do has a repercussion” and the importance of enjoying experiences over consumption. The Pamela Anderson Foundation supports “organizations and individuals that stand on the front lines in the protection of human, animal, and environmental rights.” It is nice to see Anderson (who was born in Ladysmith, BC) be passionate about these global issues, and encouraging listeners to do the same in their everyday life.

My final full panel of the day was the Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow talk with Juliana Harkavy, Brandon Routh, and Courtney Ford. This was largely a fan Q&A panel, with one fan dressed as Roy Harper/Arsenal informing the cast how their characters have provided happiness and strength in darker personal times. It was a touching moment, and you could see the actors’ expressions shift, truly listening to each of the fan questions with understanding and empathy. Harkavy said her favourite part about playing Black Canary was meeting fans, while Routh expressed some disappointment in the Legends being left out of this past season’s ‘Elseworlds’ crossover event, but hoped they might make an appearance in the already announced ‘Crisis on Infinite Earths.’

They admitted that they don’t socially interact much with cast members of their fellow CW shows other than at conventions and dinners to celebrate season kickoffs (on-location filming, studios not being on the same lot), but it’s always fun when they do meet-up to catch up. Routh said that while he loves playing Ray Palmer/Atom on LOT, his role as Superman in Bryan Singer’s 2006 film Superman Returns is his favourite role to-date because of its significance in his career (as his first leading role). All three prepared for their current roles using comic books as guidance, imagery and past iterations of their characters.

We had a wonderful time at FAN EXPO Vancouver, being surrounded by like minded others with an excitement and passion for the arts, cosplay, comics, film and television. Our team also had an opportunity to interview Gotham’s David Mazouz, a stellar actor who shone as a young Bruce Wayne and who’s using his platform to shed light on animal rescue and advocacy, and creating positive change as young adults. The interview will be posted soon! Until then, we can’t wait until FAN EXPO’s return to our city next year.
