On my recent cabbage merchant art someone commented on this man’s sheer resilience and how he was the Sisyphus of ATLA and that inspired me.

With the knowledge that Vulcan has regularly high winds & subsequent sandstorms I propose a type of guy: midwestern dads watching tornadoes but for Vulcans. Somebody's uncle Sovar standing outside with his hands on his hips watching a massive cloud roll closer. Unconcerned because this happens, like, every couple of weeks. He's like "this one is large, is it not" yes it is go back inside Sovar

The one Vulcan aspect Kirk can excel at.

Kirk: “Oh yeah I’m from Iowa. It’s part of something called tornado alley.”

Spock: “Where’s the captain? The storm is getting worse.”

Crewman: “He’s out there with the other Vulcans. He told us to wait in the shuttle.”

I would like to add that I kept going on a fic recently through a bad bout of depression and finished it, solely because people's comments were just so encouraging. I love you for that, fandom folk, and won't ever forget it.

One thing DC has gone wrong with batfamily comics is the fact that basically everyone has died. It makes it so when the person dies, there's no more shock or sadness because we all know that they're going to be resurrected.

When Jason died, it was a BIG DEAL. Because nobody thought that ROBIN would die. And die so violently. And he was a kid. It shook the comic world and changed Bruce. And then he stayed dead for like idk 10-15 years. Nobody thought he was coming back. And his death was something special. He was batmans biggest failure. That was the vibe and the reason for his resurrection.

But now, basically everyone has died and come back to life. It's no big deal and if I was in the comic universe and I heard a robin died, i would probably brush it off since they'll probably be alive again in like 3 weeks. It no longer provides the utter shock and suspense that Death in the Family did.

Anyway, DC has been too loose and repetitive with death and resurrection and that has basically made them lose edge and shock value in that arena

I was in grade school when they killed Jason and I remember hearing about it. I grew up in a family of rednecks, most of them didn't know the difference between Star Wars and Star Trek and nobody was reading the current comics but Robin dying actually made it into some adult conversations. It was vague, "do you remember that TV character" or "remember when you used to read comics growing up?" but it did come up, usually with vague confusion or disbelief because how could they kill Batman's sidekick? (No, they had no idea there was had been more than one Robin so they thought it was Dick Grayson that died. If they knew Robin's name at all.)

And he STAYED DEAD. Things had already changed by the time I tried to get into comics as a teen (LOL comics aren't for GIRLS!!!). By then there was a saying, "nobody stays dead except Uncle Ben, Bucky Barnes and Jason Todd". Now nobody stays dead in comics and everyone knows it.

He was dead from 1989 to the end of 2004, which doesn't seem all that long looking back, now that he's been alive again longer, but at the time it was permanent and perpetual.

In 2005-6 the Infinite Crisis brought back the multiverse, which had died two years before Jason.

In 2006, in response to reader opinion that death was growing cheap, DC did a Teen Titans storyline where Kid Eternity was found chained in the door between life and death, holding it open. There were many Titan zombies, it was a whole thing.

(The Titans have long been notorious for resurrections as well as killing off cast like midges, because in the 80s they started getting lots of characters who only existed for that book to round out a large cast, so the writers could kill them at will, with impunity, which most major comics could not.)

In 2009 Final Crisis supposedly patched the continuity problems created by Final Crisis. It did not achieve this even a little. Killed Batman though.

In 2010 when DC did the Blackest Night massive crossover event, which was similar to the Titans zombie thing but bigger, and announced it had changed how death worked For Everyone Forever and cheap resurrection was off the table now for real guys, most people did not believe them.

For one thing, it ended by resurrecting several dead people and setting hooks for Batman never having actually died at all.

In 2011 when DC announced a full reboot of the entire universe it seemed like maybe this intensive intervention could actually reset all the storylines and the escalation creep and restore the stakes of dying and the drama of Going Through Things to characters who had done every kind of trauma thrice.

This failed comprehensively on all levels. Among many other failures of cohesion and nerve, they killed Robin again almost immediately. He was back within the year.

The fact that Alfred is still not back from his latest death is being treated more as DC being a pack of petty, contrary brats than as death having any meaningful hold on these characters that anyone ought to respect.

*the continuity problems created by Infinite Crisis. Final Crisis was not quite bad enough to be trying to fix its own continuity issues, though that would be very onbrand.

Ultimate Spider-Man #4 (2024)

death-t kaiba bros are soo funny

I think a very important unwritten piece of locked tomb canon is that corona and ianthe are absolutely both writing home regularly to mummy throughout the entire series - not with any helpful plot points or anything, they just want pocket money. Their mother, hatefully running a planet that she also hates, has the knack of silently wiring pocket money in an incredibly nasty and hurtful way - despite not accompanying it with a note or anything - just a sort of careful psychic warfare involving timing, amounts of money, the transfer service, etc.

(Although at at one point she asks if one of them has Babs, or if he’s dead or what. Corona ghosts her and ianthe texts back “who”)

Anyway, breaking off your meeting with god or the rebels or whatever because mummy has just sent you $465.73 in THEE bitchiest possible way

the idea that one moment Mummy and Daddy Of Ida receive official condolences from the Emperor Undying, the Kindly Prince of Death, the Necrolord Prime that both their daughters and their cavalier have tragically died during their glorious pursuit of Lyctorhood, look here are their coffins isn't this sad :( and then like an hour later a note flutters in from Coronabeth all "mummy dearest please forward my pocket money to this address, xoxo your favourite child" is, as the kids say, sending me

this is exactly it.their psychic waves of triangulation and nastiness already transcend death, truth, spacetime & etc. so it’s completely unreasonable that the secret spacebase of the emperor undying not receive a shipping container of ianthe’s shittiest party dresses and half used makeup , spitefully packed. Yes of course we know she’s dead it’s very unfortunate (many such cases) she’ll definitely need her half used makeup from her ‘thought I had deep winter mystique with a light spring skintone’ era in the afterlife. mummy x

odin is like “when thor was born the sun shone bright upon his beautiful face. i found loki on the sidewalk outside a taco bell”

Oðinn spake:

Bright the sun shone | at the time of Þor’s birth, And bathed his count'nance fair. Loki, wolf-father, | the trickster, the liar, I found on the cold pavement While returning in glory | from a grand hunt For a 3 AM quesadilla.

@damn-fuck-i-burnt-myself-again

I need this framed on my wall it’s so beautiful.

My husband complained that this was more Shakespeare than Eddas, and I challenged him to do better.

Solen sken, skönt gyllene

Dagen Tor föddes

På trottoaren, vid Taco Bell

Där låg Loke

—KJN

My translation:

The sun shone, sweet golden

The day of Tor’s birth

On the tarmac, by Taco Bell

There lay Loki

(For poetry reasons, Thor needs the Swedish spelling.)

@bold-sartorial-statement

@bold-sartorial-statement no but hang on this should be in runes: 

(oops spot the typos)

i wanna translate this into icelandic so imma do it 

Sólin skein, björt og gullin við fæðingu Þórs á stígnum við Taco Bell Þar lá Loki

The amount of quality going into these shitposts is amazing

This is not shitposting, this is transformative work!

And in Danish because why not:

Solen skinnede, skøn og gylden

På dagen for Tors fødsel

På asfalten ved Taco Bell

Dér lå Loke

“LEV MERE (LIVE MAS)”

*Snorts*

When Thor born

He hair shine brite

A very very

Magical site

But then I see

A bab from hell

From taco bell

the rosetta stone of shitposting

@incorrectnorse-quotes

Now THIS is the best post on this hellsite

Gaza's municipality is trying to raise money to fix and restore Gaza's water system. Please support them by boosting and/or donating

I can vouch for this cause Shea's moisture used to be the go to brand for people going natural cause is accessible. But now it's SHIT.

This Is why I now only use small black owned brands and am diligent about not using these large store brands

Can we start posting and sharing these small black-owned brands so that we can better support the good stuff we still make? @afronerdism

I stick with Melanin hair care for my entire product line. I only diverge when I’m using as I am which is still small but Indian owner and then I use one anti dandruff shampoo. But it’s melanin hair care for everyone else

OYIN is still Black-owned and made by hand in Baltimore. https://oyinhandmade.com/ and YES non-Black people should buy the products too if they work for you. It's all green and helps the business stay with Black owners.

Hundreds of Jewish anti-war demonstrators have been arrested during a Passover seder that doubled as a protest in New York, as they shut down a major thoroughfare to pray for a ceasefire and urge the Senate majority leader, Chuck Schumer, to end US military aid to Israel.

The 300 or so arrests took place on Tuesday night at Grand Army Plaza, on the doorstep of Schumer’s Brooklyn residence, where thousands of mostly Jewish New Yorkers gathered for the seder, a ritual that marked the second night of the holiday celebrated as a festival of freedom by Jews worldwide.

The seder came just before the US Senate resoundingly passed a military package that includes $26bn for Israel.

So I think I forgot to post about it here but I'm knitting my own wedding dress.
