Machete and Vasco are so pomegranate-and-the-hand-that-slices coded. To me.
Pomegranates are seen as messy, bloody, inconvenient fruits. You slice or tear or bite and in return for your effort you come away underwhelmed, disgusted, and stained too deep to wash. The consumption of a pomegranate is a violent act of defilement, for both the fruit and the eater.
But that is because most do not understand how to open a pomegranate. They have little patience for the precise carving. They see no point in coreing the fruit gently, no reason to be reverent as they pull the quarters apart. When done correctly, opening a pomegranate leaves little mess. Your fingers will still stain, your knife will still slick, but there will be no pool of crimson drowning both you and the fruit.
The seeds are only sweet to those who understand the merit of a light hand and intricate slicing. Why put in so much effort for a food so bitter and clearly armored against consumption? Surely it must not yearn to be eaten.

me thinking "ooh, it's so short and it's fun to listen to, I'll just do a cheeky red valley relisten before going into the final season" vs opening the spotify page and remembering that will involve listening to episode three: fight

as much as people joke about jean grey being homophobic i believe Weirdly Supportive Jean Grey is better, is funnier
jean going to pride parades with a big I LOVE MY GAY FRIEND sign while bobby is happy but slightly embarassed
someone makes a homophobic comment about bobby and jean gives them telepathic headache
you know these xmen pride special arts that look like pictures? jean is taking the pictures
is she trying to make up for outing bobby to himself? is she just enjoying bobby's reaction? who knows

In what is apparently now an ongoing if sporadic series, here's what I think the main difference between Superman and Spider-Man is, summed up to one sentence:
Both of them believe to their core that 'With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility', but to Peter it's an admonishment, whereas to Clark it's an aspiration.

I don’t think we as a society talk about the angst in the idea that Billy Batson, with all the magical importance and world building DC added to him and Shazam, shouldn’t be allowed to die because if he does he’s that magic linchpin that kickstarts a million different apocalypses and leaves the worst power vacuum in magical history

Thinking about ASTV and how it tackles different family dynamics again, and while I’m sure so many fans of Miguel’s 2099 comics would love it if one of his love interests was brought into BSTV to help wrap up his backstory… I kinda hope they don’t, because him being an entirely single dad just sounds so much better to me than him having some dead off-screen partner.
Resolving to adopt a kid from another dimension also sounds more in line with the desperation of a man whose been put through the ringer in the adoption process, than that of someone who was a husband and father but lost that in recent years. It just feels more cohesive and intimate, while not resorting to the tired trope of killing off some woman to motivate the big burly man into action. I don’t think that would be fair to Xina and Dana, specially if they weren’t already introduced in ASTV and therefore missed a pretty big chance at standing out in the narrative. I can’t claim to be the most attached to them, as I only know of them, but I know I wouldn’t want a character I cared about to be reduced to that- specially if it would arguably come to the detriment of another character as well.

People who dealt with people asking them out on messenger/facebook, how the FUCK do I tell someone "I'm not interested in dating right now, when I AM interested I will be looking for an orthodox man or a religious nonbinary which judging by your profile you are neither, and also you are a good few years older then me and I know nothing about you except the fact that you're extremely into comics I care nothing for and you cannot take a hint" without coming off as rude?
*edit* thank you guys! I said I'm not interested and I'll hope that's where it will end.
