Allowing myself to leave one stupid name in my ‘for the public’ version of these brushes. As a treat.

The image shows the smooth texture of the wood, which stands out beautifully on all Redbubble products. The wood texture is very realistic It adds warmth and coziness, a unique and natural look.

Between the pockets on Miles G's shoes and knowing he has all these gizmos and gadgets galore, I find it funny the idea of him going to Spider society as a day-pass visitor and having to cough up the claws. But then the Spider-man guard shakes the confiscation tray, and he's like, "Ugh. Fine." and turns out all these pockets full of little smoke bombs and nets and zip-wires, etc. It takes about 10 minutes before he's got nothing on him.

Summer (?) 1992. The final game supplement for the Mayfair Games DC HEROES ROLE-PLAYING GAME was a loose-leaf WHO'S WHO supplement, intended to complement DC's loose-leaf WHO'S WHO update. Only three of the four planned volumes were released before Mayfair lost the DC license. The first volume includes this entry for Legionnaire Brainiac 5, also covered in 2995: THE LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES SOURCEBOOK, which came out months later.
Brainy's game statistics are mostly the same (although this entry gives him 20 more Hero Points), but the special Psychological Instability rules are unique to this version. This wasn't really a problem anymore in the period when this supplement was published, since it really refers to one particular story from 1979 (a guy loses his shit and creates a universe-destroying super-monster ONE TIME and nobody ever lets him live it down …), but it's an interesting mechanic, so I can see why it was included. The reverse side also has a handy checklist of Brainiac 5 appearances, for completists:
Tumblr media
The Personality/Role-playing section on the front side makes some dubious assertions. The first paragraph says:
He might be incredibly intelligent, but Brainiac 5 has a great deal of difficulty when it comes to expressing his emotions. When he first joined the Legion, he tried to concentrate on his feelings to fit in with his teammates, none of whom was Coluan. He even fell in love with Laurel Gand and spent a number of peaceful years with her. But inevitably, he became so overwhelmed with leading the team and protecting the universe that he was forced to forgo the luxury of emotion so that he could use his intelligence to its capacity.
While the 2995 sourcebook was written by Legion scripters Tom and Mary Bierbaum, this supplement was not, and I'm not sure what Winninger was talking about in the final sentence. What had happened in the latter third of the 1984–1989 Levitz series was that Brainy had fomented a conspiracy to avenge the death of Superboy by destroying the Time Trapper, one of the Legion's most powerful enemies, a plan that involved sacrificing Brainy's old friend Jaxon Rugarth. The other Legionnaires then put Brainy on trial for violating the Legion code, and although he was exonerated, he was so annoyed by their attitude that he resigned in a fit of pique and went back to Colu. He returned during the Magic Wars and sort of mended fences, although the team subsequently collapsed and he went on to other things during the five-year gap (principally trying to find a cure for the "Validus plague" afflicting Saturn Girl's kids). Some of the specific circumstances were subsequently retconned in ways not reflected in the actual comics, but that was still basically the gist at the time this supplement was published. It was messy, but it was certainly NOT a matter of his forgoing "the luxury of emotion."
The second paragraph says:
As a Brainiac, Dox has an affinity for pure logic. As time goes on, he seems less and less interested in establishing normal relationships with his teammates in the reformed Legion.
This was not at all true. Indeed, one of the charming aspects of the "Five Years Later" period was that Brainy had actually mellowed quite a bit. He was still a little awkward, and there was unresolved baggage between him and Laurel (who in the interim had had a baby with his best friend!), but he was more at peace with himself, and more patient with the people around him, than he'd ever been in past Legion stories. According to the Bierbaums' sourcebook, he was even writing sweet little haiku about his former teammates in his spare time — hardly the action of a cold-blooded logician.

the internet of everything fucking ruined every piece of modern technology. everything we could have devoted to making Stuff That Works Good, at least 20% of the budget and space needs to be allocated to some dumb app or two-factor authentication on some private platform that sucks your personal data dry for those nonexistent advertising dollars.
i had to sign up for an email to use my 10 year old printer so i could scan a piece of paper WHICH IS CONNECTED TO MY COMPUTER DIRECTLY WITH A PREINSTALLED PROGRAM and??????? what are you securing me from???? who the fuck else could be in my house using my printer which the wifi function is useless for a single computer???? which dumbass decided this.

Thinking about Theodore and his inventions. How he made the necklaces that could detect Scout Illunous. How he helped devise the plan for the White House Heist and made the bug cameras and glitter grenades. How he’s so important to the party because of his inventions.
Thinking about how screwed the motley would be if he left.

Spiders and mice both have very particular senses of structure and motion and I think that Spider-Mouse probably is very into fiber arts and plays a lot of cat's cradle and yo-yos to try and work out the logic of its space-thinking without having a dedicated notation for it like a physicist or topologist would. It has regular web cartridges sure but i think it has a secondary store of regular nonstick string for fidgeting to work out space-thoughts and sometimes for little tools like those jar carrier knots or patches or whatever. Sometimes mousie crochets little web-squares for people just because.

I understand that this is a profoundly pedantic bit of crankery, but it bugs the hell out of me when a robot has jiggly boobs, but then later their chest gets opened up for someone to mess around with their internal gadgetry and you can clearly see that the interior wall of the thoracic compartment follows the exterior contour of the breasts. Like, are these tiddies rigid, or are they not? Pick one or the other!
