𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐 𝐄𝐌𝐌𝐘 𝐀𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐒. + 𝐉𝐎𝐒𝐄𝐏𝐇 𝐐𝐔𝐈𝐍𝐍

masterlist. / taglist. / any request? synopsis. Y/n and Joseph treating Jimmy Kimmel like the clown he was.

pairing. joseph quinn x reader

genre and warnings. fem reader, black coded, 2022 Emmys, couple fluff, established relationship, social media au | — i tried to power through the Emmys stream for this fanfic....yeahh babe i turned that shit off instantly.

Joseph Quinn and Y/n L/n together at the 2022 Emmys.

Stars from every niche and corner arrived out and about for the 2022 Emmy Awards this year, strutting across the red carpet with their dashing and gorgeous looks.

Y/n/L/n not only won an Emmy for her well-deserved supporting role in Stranger Things, but she also showed up on the red carpet with her co-star and boyfriend, Joseph Quinn.

Her iconic dress is already one of many to trend, making a statement in her gem covered leg brace, the actress was known for going all out when it came to her unexpected fashion sense.

Arriving on the carpet in a Dolce & Gabbana black and golden studded train that trailed from her deep open back cut, the beads were arranged in a stunning pattern that was copied onto Joseph’s suit jacket. Just another iconic matching outfit added to the couple's archive.

Sadly, the auburn hair stage was missed, settling with a much more tamed dark brown as her hair was styled into a cute side with two golden hair clips parted into a bob with thick curls that flared up at their ends.

The power in this couple never fails to turn heads! Joseph Quinn and Y/n L/n looked positively smitten on the Emmys carpet, pausing to gaze into each other's eyes and reminding us why they are one of Hollywood's cutest couples.

Since the couple is known for their lack of PDA, cameras caught all they could as the two held hands strolling down the carpet smiling and cracking a few jokes as Y/n hobbled down the carpet.

Despite the fact that the Emmys are a complete shambles, from the odd choice dragging on for bits to the awkwardly interrupted winning speeches.

When Y/n L/n accepted her award for supporting actress, despite Jimmy Kimmel laying on the stage beside her feet.

Y/n seemed unbothered by the white man making a fool out of himself for the second time of the night, as she simply started her speech off with: "Some people just don’t have any home training!" apparently a lot of actors agreed as the room partly broke into cheers and shouts of encouragement.

The rest of her speech was not only inspiring for black women in the industry but also apparently just a little too long as her speech was rudely cut short, being shooed off stage by some top flop 90s playlist of songs.

But with enough time to already be one of the most heartwarming moments as the actress’s smile never seemed to fade as she sat next to Quinn throughout the night, who showed his lady some comfort as his hand was placed around her shoulder the entire time.

Though the couple appears to have skipped the afterparty, with Joseph and Y/n taking their celebration home to tuck in the young star Ellanore L/n just before bedtime.

Just a fandom thing, really. It’s something that I’ve picked up on my two decades in fandom and interest in BTS stuff. I used to binge interviews before interviewers got cringe and started asking actor wholly inappropriate questions about fans and fandom spaces (or sexually charged questions).

But it goes like this, if there is a pairing or “ship” they want fans to root for they will put the actors together on the press circuit. If they don’t want them to ship the character with a specific person, you’ll never even see the two actors in the same room. There are exceptions of course, like with BBC’s Sherlock and Supernatural, where the two they don’t want fans to ship are either the main cast or so closely tied to the continued success to the show (johnlock and destiel respectively) and it can’t be avoided.

Now take two examples of this type interview pairing. The Sandman and Stranger Things.

Disclaimer: FROM WHAT I’VE SEEN (don’t come at me if there was one obscure interview I missed)

The Sandman: Tom Sturridge was only paired Vivienne Acheampong (Lucienne), Kirby Howell-Baptise (Death), and Mason A Park (Desire). Not Jemma Coleman, Gwendolyn Christy or Ferdinand Kingsley (who was barely in any interviews which was travesty in its own right), the three that Morpheus would be most likely “shipped” with. Hell they didn’t even pair him with Boyd Holbrook who Tom himself described as sexy. They didn’t want him to be shipped with anyone because of what’s coming up next. Even though everyone else called Tom the cast bicycle (don’t make me explain that to you please) because of the chemistry he had with EVERYONE. But the powers that be didn’t want to link Tom with anyone in the minds of the audience that he had sexual chemistry with.

Stranger Things: Joseph Quinn was paired for the most part (with a couple of exceptions) Joe Keery, Jamie Campbell Bower, and Gaten Matarazzo, (Steve, Vecna, and Dustin respectively.) Interesting choices. If they were wanting a rivalry between the two Joes, why pair them at interviews? To highlight their rivalry? Why Jamie Campbell Bower? Especially since as far as I recall don’t interact in the show at all. Gaten, of course is a no brainer. They were trying to highlight Eddie’s relationship with Dustin (the heart of the so-called rivalry with Steve).

If they didn’t want people to “ship” or pair Steve and Eddie, why team them up in interviews? If Eddie wasn’t coming back as Kas and his connection with Vecna, why did they pair him with Jamie Campbell Bower? Gaten is fine, but Steve has a stronger connection with Dustin then Eddie did. But they’ve also said that Eddie plays a big part in Dustin’s final arc. And while deaths are traumatic it seems like they’re hinting at something bigger.

TL;DR: All this to say, Joseph Quinn HAS to come back for season five as Eddie and most likely Kas. It’s the only thing that makes sense with how they did the promotion of the show.

but joseph quinn’s intention with the scene in the forest was for eddie and chrissy to be flirting. he said in an interview he would like to see them as a couple. the duffers wanted to see them as a couple and regret killing her off so soon, grace van dien wanted them to be a couple too. the music, the lighting all indicate a cute flirty moment. people aren’t just seeing a boy and girl interact and going omg they should date, the show is TRYING to get you to root for them as a couple. their acting was amazing throughout and shouldn’t be discredited like that! and regarding the age issue, all that we know about eddie’s age is that he’s older than dustin. it’s never stated he is older than steve. he could still be 17! it’s also never confirmed he failed two years, in fact he could have just been planning what he wanted to do at the graduation ceremony for two years with his friends, which is why they’ve made a joke. he’s not stupid, he’s actually show to be very intelligent just maybe not applying himself like he should. the tattoos mean nothing because he’s never been supervised by an adult he could have don’t them himself or gotten them done by a tattoo shop that didn’t care he was 17. people need to stop spreading headcanons as canon. all we know for sure from canon is that he’s 17 (according to his uncle). maybe it wasn’t a mistake at all? maybe he’s always been 17. i mean joseph quinn even talked about playing a ‘teenager’. 20-21 is not a teenager!

Sorry for not responding to this ask sooner, I've been super busy lately. But yes, you're probably right. I didn't really view that scene as romantic but that's not because I don't think the acting and directing was good. I mean the chemistry was off the charts. I just didn't feel like that chemistry couldn't be platonic. Not saying it is! I'm also rubbish with tone, even whilst watching TV sometimes, so I could've not picked up on it. The reason I talk about people shipping it because they're a guy and a girl is less about them as a couple but more about how people are willing to accept they like each other after one scene but people shipping a same sex pairing have to spend ages justifying it. I also ship Steddie (not passionately but it's a nice ship) so I'm probably biased against it being romantic anyways.

In terms of the age thing, I'm really not sure. But I always got the vibe from him saying he's going to graduate this year and them saying he's said that for two years before that has me inclined to believe he's repeated his senior year and is around 19, which is still a teenager. Someone was telling me about credits and extra classes meaning that's what he could be talking about which I'm not going to comment on as I have no idea how the American schooling system works. The 17 thing feels like a plot hole (same with them getting Chrissy's birth year wrong). But I still don't think that makes the age gap iffy. I mean he's probably 19-ish and she's 17-ish (the file is a plot hole because she is graduating in 86) which is just not that big of a deal to me. There's also no power imbalance, no maturity gap and they're at the same stage in life. And as you've said, the actors ship it.

Thanks for the ask (:

Self Rec Fic tagging thing

I was tagged by @shieldofiron (One of my partners in crime) in the fic recommendation tag.

*Rules*

Recommended us 3 of your fics. 1 that is the "most popular" and 2 that you consider as "hidden gems".

1. Most Popular

I haven't talked much about this fic on this blog, but my most popular one is [How to Pretend]. That one had the most kudos, comments and bookmarks of the many fanfictions I have written (most are orphaned for personal reasons). Basically, Steve Harrington between the summer before the start of season 01 of Stranger Things got into an accident in Seattle, where he survived but basically became Stranger Things version of Poison Ivy. With the same power sets just without the eco-terrorist bit (I haven't decided if that is a route I want to try my hand in.)

Imagine season 02 but Billy is introduced into the group, El and Steve bond over having powers and being more or less isolated because of it. DC Comic character cameos. But also Steve and Billy slowly but surely having the Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn dynamic.

Also apparently there are not many Harringrove (with either or both having powers) much less any that have to do with nature. If you have any recs on them, HAND THEM OVER.

2. Hidden Gems

I haven't really written MUCH Stranger Things fics so some of these might be from other fandoms BUT [ i hope when i die, you'll barely survive it] was my favourite to write! It's in the same universe as my Poison Ivy Steve Harrington AU but it is the aftermath of post-season 03 and Steve getting his hands on Neil. Neil doesn't come out of this alive and you get Dark Steve Harrington XD. It was a brain worm that was eating away at me so I wrote it so I had the scene ready when I got to that part of the fic. BUT I wanted to share it with everyone so I posted it.

It's kinda experimental in writing style, I really tried to put as much emotion I could into Steve's guilt, grief and desire for revenge.

Sign of the Times I would say is a hidden gem because it was my first or less humour-centric fic. A FFXV fic with the ship ArdyNoct based on a lovely meme art from a friend of mine. It's post everything in FFXV but Ardyn and Noct survive, become a couple and Noctis rules Insomnia. But also has to deal with antics of his thousand-year-old lover.

And cause I can this one is pretty recent but [a string of pearls] too!. A mermaid Harringrove fic where Steve is mermaid royalty and having Billy as a secret lover until he doesn't want to anymore. Just some harmless fluff that I might consider coming back to this AU!

------

Whew! That was a lot, feel free to like message me about any of these, especially my Poison Ivy Steve fic. It really was a self indulgent thing that somehow blew up! If you wanna participate consider yourself tagged! But I'm tagging: @thediktatortot @dragonflylady77 @neonponders @metalscoops

#harringrove #tagged #tagging game #oh yeah any like ivy!steve art is probably related to the fic I'm writing in some way lmao #but thanks for tagging me #it was fun to write about these!

we've seen both bucky and quinn as the soldier and fenrir but what if it was steve instead that was the winter soldier or captain winter or whatever the fuck they would call him cause you know they would be using his old title to fuck with him but anyway steve falls of the train and bucky puts the plane in the water and later quinn is taken by hydra and becomes fenrir and i am super curious as to what fenrir and steve winter soldier would be like together. or even seeing all three of them

So, I was diving through the inbox and saw this and for some reason got really super inspired?

On Halloween, it’s her. He knew it would be. The man that his team expects she’ll assassinate has women and children locked up in his basement that he plans to sell at an auction once this masquerade ball is over. So, this is personal to her. She’s alone, but he didn’t expect them both to show up. His brain understands that it’s a tactical decision—one is arrested, kidnapped, or killed then the other can continue on with their work. His stupid, lovesick heart wants to believe it’s a desperate attempt to keep distance between themselves and him. He knows some warm memories come back to them when he’s around. Put them all three in the same room? He wants to think it’d make them crack and cave. It’d make them come home with him and that scares them. They want to be wild and free and he threatens that with his promise of domesticity.

There are old stories that he’d heard back in the war. About werewolves that could be cured and turned back into a human. All that needed to be done was to have someone the werewolf trusted and loved whisper their true name. Fuck, he wishes that was true, but those stories don’t talk about what to do if the werewolf doesn’t remember who they used to be. That still doesn’t stop him. Sometimes, all he can ever do is scream their names. He still loves them both. He’ll do whatever he can to make them remember.

When she makes her appearance, the irony of her costume isn’t lost on him. The maroon corset pushes her breasts up and her lips are painted the exact same shade. The hooded cape is, too, and it has velvet material. Rather than the skirt he’s seen other women wear, she’s in black leather pants and boots. Doesn’t make the costume any less of a hot little number, but now it’s more practical should all hell break loose. And it will now that she’s here.

Because it isn’t Little Red Riding Hood that stands in front of him. Here, she’s a hunter. These are the missions where she thrives, he knows. She touches his chest and slides her hands up to his shoulders. When she smiles up at him, it’s sharp. No wonder she’s called Fenrir. She’s the Big Bad Wolf. A predator in sheep’s clothing. But, oh, does she try to play up the innocent act. There’s a little wooden basket in her hand that she pulls something out of. Then, she holds it up between them and sweetly asks, “Apple?”

“Poisoned apples are a different fairytale, sweetheart,” he tells her over the music.

And his back is pressed to the bar. She brackets him in with her arms as she places the apple and her little basket on the bar behind him. But she doesn’t move away. “Aw, I’d never poison you. Just wouldn’t be as much fun without you around.” She wraps her hands around the leather straps of his uniform and pulls him close to her. “Oh, I didn’t wish you a happy Halloween. Why don’t you find a quiet room where I can let you have a treat?”

“And leave you alone to play your tricks?”

“Why do you even bother to pretend you’re here for anyone but me?” Jesus, she’s always made his knees weak when she leans in the way she does now. Hovers her lips over his. “Or that you wouldn’t let me do exactly what I want? All I have to do is say that I haven’t been able to do what I want almost seventy years and you would let me burn the whole world down.”

“Baby, I’d hold the match.” He would. God help him, he would.

That coy and playful smile disappears. She presses her thumb to the dimple in his chin and stares into his eyes. “They really should’ve left you in the ice,” she mourns almost to herself. “My beautiful boy, this world’s too mean for someone with a heart like yours.” Isn’t that a kick in the balls? Because that’s what he’d think about her, back in the war. Good woman like her never should’ve been thrown in war. But then he went and crashed a plane and left her behind to be swallowed up by the nastiest parts of the world. “And look where you’re at now. You’ve taken monsters to bed.”

“You’re not monsters.”

“We are,” she croons. As quick as the emotions came, she’s back to the superficial sensuality. “Because I plan to kill all the men who plan to show at the auction and I’ll love every second. I’ll make them howl. I’ll tear them to pieces and write on the walls with their blood to make all the people like them scared. They’ll have a slow, extremely painful death and that makes me happy. We don’t take orders anymore. Now, we kill because we like it.”

“And all those women and kids locked up, what about them? You plan to let them rot inside their cells?” Her lips purse and she doesn’t answer. She doesn’t need to. “No. You won’t even wait on my team. You think I don’t know about the little network you two have set up to help victims? You two do the same work I do, but you’re as brutal with the bastards as I wish I could be. I wish I could drop this all and come with you two. I want to watch them burn, too.”

She leans in to nip at his earlobe. “I love when you talk dirty to me.” Her cheek presses to his. “I’ve never had beard burn before. And I’d be so much happier to kill them all with your come inside me. Want to help me out with that?”

Why the hell does she even bother to ask anymore?

One second she’s there and then she disappears the next. He suspects she does it so on the off-chance that someone clocks him, he won’t be seen with her. Sometimes, he thinks she cares more about his reputation than he does. The world would lose their shit to see him with an ex-Soviet assassin turned mercenary. He could care less.

Like a lovesick pup, he follows after her. She never makes it hard. A door is cracked open on an upper floor and he sneaks inside the emptied office. She’s sprawled back on the leather couch and smirks at him, pleased as punch. As he locks the door behind him, he notices some drawers are open to the desk on the other side of the room. Papers strewn across the floor. It’ll probably be information about the people who host the auction, will attend it, and all their known associates. A head-start for his team, but she and her partner are always one step ahead of them. It’s a courtesy. An excuse. Natasha and Sam tend to not ask questions when he’s not empty-handed.

“Y’know, here lately, you look real tense in all the pictures I see of you, Cap,” she drawls in the southern accent that makes his heart ache. “Why don’t you c’mon over here, huh? I know how to help you relax.” She spreads her legs, a blatant invitation, and pops the button of her pants.

And he shouldn’t because the more he does this with them both, the more he falls back in love with them. No doubt, they’re all on the road to ruin and his heart will end up broken, but he’ll ride this out. They’ve always been his addiction. He tried, before he knew they were alive, to sleep around in hopes he could…could feel more than the ice and the pain and the loneliness. It never worked. Man or woman, he couldn’t even get it up. They’re it. They’re the ones for him.

Before he knows it, he’s down on his knees between her parted thighs. He rubs his cheek against her inner thigh, nipping at her soft, pale skin. He takes a deep breath and his eyes almost roll back in his head. He hasn’t seen her in months. Been even longer since he tasted her. “Fuck, it’s true. You canbe cruel. To make me go all this time without tasting this sweet pussy.” She starts to chuckle breathlessly, but it morphs into a quiet sigh at the first press of his mouth on her. “I missed your cunt, y’know that?” She fists his hair and moans quietly. “Come home with me. I’ll spend the rest of my days between your legs.”

“Well, isn’t that a pretty offer.” She tilts her head back and her eyes flutter shut. He licks into her and she finally unclasps the front of her corset. He knows she plans to touch herself, but he reaches up before she has the chance. “Fuck,” she whispers as he rolls a nipple between metal fingers. “Oh, that mouth of yours makes me want to climb in bed with you and never leave,” she gasps. “You make me want to do a lot of things I shouldn’t.”

He slides back up her body and presses his mouth to hers. They kiss while he fumbles to get his dick out. Her hands slide over his and she helps him, uncharacteristically patient. Something changed in her after that confession. Her kisses and her touches are charged with emotion now. He touches his forehead to hers as he slides inside her. It’s burning hot here. Hotter than she ever was in the war. He tucks his face in the crook of her neck and rolls his hips. The keen she replies with and the way she reaches down to dig her fingers into his ass spurs him on.

“Моя луна,” she whispers like a prayer. She runs one hand through his hair and has the other wrapped around his shoulders. His pelvis is rubbing on her right. Her legs are shaking and each hot breath near his ear pitches higher and higher. “Я мечтаю о тебе каждую ночь. Я вою только для тебя. Я тебя хочу. Я не имею права. Волки вечно гоняются за луной.” Then, her body clenches up and she’s coming.

It doesn’t take long for him to follow after her. As he spills inside her, he breathes out, “Quinn.” He leans back so he can stare her in the eyes. He cups her cheek and his heart is in his throat. “Stay with me. Please.” Fear is in her eyes. The first time he’s ever seen it this side of the century. Is she scared because she wants it? It’s so close. She’s so close. “Quinn, baby doll, please don’t leave this time. Come back with me. Make my place a home.”

Quinn doesn’t stay and the kiss she leaves him with tastes like a goodbye, or so she tries to convince herself. But Bucky knows the next time he sees her, she’ll stay.

—

Once upon a time, a heartbroken woman had been lured into the deep, dark woods. Lured by a mindless beast that wore the face of her soulmate. The bastards that took her soulmate wanted to take her, too. They had reasoned she could be the fair maiden to soothe the rabid animal they’d turned her soulmate into. That woman she used to be…she was swallowed up in the darkness. And the darkness won, but her captors sure as hell didn’t. They had no idea. Didn’t know that there are wolves. There are stories about wolves and girls. Girls in red, all alone in the woods, about to get eaten up. Dumb assholes didn’t stop to think that wolves and girls both have sharp teeth.

—

Different person, but the story ends the exact same.

There’s no one in his hotel room when Bucky walks inside, but when he comes out of the bathroom after a shower, Steve is there. Propped back against the headboard. This time, he doesn’t even bother to talk. Just slides off the mattress, pulls his shirt up over his head, and moves into Bucky’s space to furiously kiss him.

So, here Bucky is, on his back. Bottom lip between his teeth as Steve looms above him. Sinuously rolling his hips and Bucky doesn’t think he can get any deeper inside Steve, but goddamn does Steve try. Steve hunches over, touches his cheek against Bucky’s, and Bucky usually takes that as the go-ahead to bend his knees and put his back into it. That doesn’t happen this time, though.

Steve loosely wraps a hand around Bucky’s throat. “You have some nerve, Barnes,” he husks into Bucky’s ear. “To make her cry the way you did. To think you can take her away from me.” Steve squeezes, only a little, only a threat. The danger that suddenly radiates from Steve should not turn Bucky on. “I’ve killed men for less. For simply looking at her. You’re lucky that you fuck me so good. I’d miss your cock too much if I slit your throat here.”

Bucky’s the definition of dumb fuck. The last thing he should do is stoke Steve’s fiery temper. “Jealous, baby boy? You scared she’ll wizen up and take me up on my offer? God forbid she not want her hands bloody anymore.”

Steve chuckles and it’s low and dark and sends sparks up Bucky’s spine. “Do you reallythink that’s my problem? Do you think I don’t want her to have peace? No, you’rethe problem. You—” he catches Bucky by the chin and squeezes so hard Bucky thinks his jaw may break. “You can’t protect her,” he whispers into Bucky’s mouth. “I didn’t have a choice when I went down. You did. You left her all alone, Buck.” Jesus Christ, his boy’s always known how to make it hurt. “I’mthe one who protected her all these years. I have the scars on my back to prove it.” He kisses Bucky, gasping because he’s about to come. “You don’t deserve to have that shield.”

It’s fucked up that that’s the moment Bucky comes. And Steve’s always been hot for having a load inside him as much as their girl, so streaks of white are coating their stomachs the next second. “Fuck, Steve, I know. Don’t I fuckin’ know it.”

✫ — txt as couples costumes !

this post contains; fluff !

💌randomly got this idea while i was high one day and halloweens coming pretty soon so just in time ! a few of these are more gendered costumes so my apologies about that ! i also haven’t updated in a few weeks so enjoy this semi serious shit post:)

YEONJUN

tries so so hard to get you to wear a super cheesy couples costume with him. honestly, his ideas range from cheesy (like him being cheese and you being a mouse) to something a bit classic and sexier (like morticia and gomez, or adam and eve). brings up the idea of you being a wall socket and him being the plug — clarifies that he was joking when you shoot the idea down (he wasn't).

food-based costume: bacon and eggs

cartoon/animation costumes: harley quinn and ivy or the joker (either way, jjunnie is probably harley)

other: chucky and tiffany, frankenstein and the bride

SOOBIN

deeply considers the both of you dressing up as royalty for halloween. or, you're someone highly important and he's your body guard. for him, it’s just something about you being the ultimate star of the show and him playing that often secondary, protective role.

food-based costume: peanut butter and jelly

cartoon/animation costumes: ariel and prince eric, mr and mrs incredible

other: alien and astronaut

BEOMGYU

oh baby is taking this very seriously. to gyu, it's either go big or go home. on the same hand, he proposed the idea of being toy story characters but couldn't decide if he wanted to be woody or buzz (so the idea was soon thrown away). probably says screw the couples costume and does a solo one as idk, ben 10 or something.

food-based costume: milk and cookies or hotdog and the bun

cartoon/animation costumes: shaggy and velma, thing one and thing two, cosmo and wanda

other: cheerleaders, team rocket

TAEHYUN

probably suggests that you two go as some abstract joke or inside joke that no one else knows about. or just something very random "hey baby, what if we went as ronald mcdonald and the hamburglar?". something about the two of you going as magicians or bank robbers also speaks to him.

food-based costume: ketchup and mustard

cartoon/animation costumes: merman and barnacle boy (if u don’t, he’ll do this w gyu)

other: mario and luigi, mimes

KAI

barbie and ken !! barbie and ken !! (sorry, just the idea of kai as ken gives me butterflies) either that, or something like men in black. i'm tied between kai wanting to do a silly couples costume or actually doing something pretty cute and put together. either way, he knows that the both of you are going to look good. trying my hardest not to mention him going as peter parker :(

food-based costume: two slices of pizza

cartoon/animation costumes: daphne and fred (yeah, group costume w gyu and his s/o), jack and sally (i think yeonjun would also consider this)

other: ghosts (but w sheets like in beetlejuice)

✫ BONUS — TXT AS GROUP COSTUMES !

idk just the thought of them doing a group costume of them as power rangers (rlly want this !!!!) or something fun like the ghostbusters. ngl the idea of them being carebears... yeah 🥺 i would hate to mention squid game but— [GUNSHOT]

other ideas:

teletubbies w kai as the lil sun baby idk.

or a gyu, soobin and kai group costume as alvin and the chipmunks

gremlins

taco bell hot sauce packets

soobin or kai as linguine and beomgyu as rémy (shout out ratatouille)

idk i can’t think of many costumes for five people

✫ EXTRA BONUS — TXT AS INDIVIDUAL COSTUMES I WANT TO SEE THEM IN

YEONJUN — my boyfri— idk just something dark and kinda slutty pls, maybe a lil kakashi hatake 😩 or smn

SOOBIN — steve from stranger things but in the scoops ahoy fit, or him as a baseball player (idk something about it)

BEOMGYU — chucky (same w jjunnie), beast boy frm teen titans

TAEHYUN — the joker (basic but he would body this idc), or idk something nerdy and hot honestly.

KAI — spiderman (no fr i need it), naruto, angel

if u made it this far, send me an ask… it gets lonely here lol

Sealab 2021 #47: “Monkey Banana Raffle” | March 21, 2005 – 12:15AM | S05E03

I literally just watched this and I can’t remember the name of the guy in it, so I’m calling him Max Power.

Here’s another one I didn’t remember at all. Sealab is now spinning it’s wheels in a more honed fashion. I would say that previous seasons saw the writers go from caring, to not caring as much, to literally crapping out scripts in a cynical attempt to see just how negligent they can be without getting cancelled. They are still operating within that mindset for this season, but the writing is actually getting a little better. Like they hit rock bottom and stayed there and actually learned to craft slightly more coherent stories while still residing at rock bottom. It results in a pathetically unfunny episode, but it’s simply mediocre and not insultingly bad.

In this one an eccentric trillionaire (Max Power) shows up to Sealab and buys it on a whim. Surprisingly things start running very smoothly, a fact that Quinn rejects, assuming things will start going comically wrong any second now. To be fair, Max Power does do some erratic things like freeze Tornado Shanks in carbonite (who can still jump around and eventually gets pinned under a vending machine - like father, like son?) and fire hundreds of crew members. The title of the episode comes from his catchphrase, by the way, and doesn’t really describe the episode at all. He says it like, twice, in case you were wondering. Things do eventually go wrong at the end with a final gag that amounts to a stupid visual pun.

Notable things about this one: Debbie is still evangelical from the last episode, acting as a missionary in Max Power’s center-of-the-earth gold mine. She is there to convert troglodytes to Christianity. There is a WILDLY gross photograph of the Sealab Crew during the credits. It looks like a Something Awful meetup or something.

Honestly, the only difference between Sealab and Robot Chicken is that Robot Chicken was never good, and Sealab was. The first season had a handful of GREAT episodes, and only a couple of truly pathetic ones. Since I’m doing strict chronology here and alternating between Robot Chicken and Sealab 2021 episodes, I’m noting that neither of them make me laugh almost at all. Robot Chicken could be considered technically better show at this point. But I hate them both, so why split hairs?

EPHEMERA CORNER

American Dad (February 13, 2005 – 11:30PM)

I don’t care that the above image isn’t displaying properly! Fuck YOU!

American Dad is Seth MacFarlane’s second show after Family Guy. If I remember correctly, it was created in the wake of Family Guy getting cancelled. When Family Guy was revived I assumed American Dad would fade away. But, it didn’t. In fact, it’s... (gulp) still on.

American Dad always came off as a pathetic attempt to recapture Family Guy’s cult popularity in a more mainstream way. The premise was to be more satirical and straight-forwardly sitcommy. The drawing style is almost exactly the same as Family Guy, but 20% more realistic (the head-to-body proportions are notably skewed). American Dad himself was a CIA Agent for Bush’s white house. Francine Dad seemed to be inspired by Edith Bunker (but hot), and the liberal feminist daughter Haley Dad was also meant to evoke All in the Family’s Gloria. Add Steve Dad, the horny teen son because it’s Fox, and a Stewie/Brian in the form of an alien and a fish with the mind of a German skier. I’m going off memories from watching the pilot way back when it first debuted, so please don’t ding me on details. But he IS German, right?

I’ve seen probably a couple dozen American Dad episodes in my life, either accidentally or on purpose. I’ve not seen anything from the TBS run, but I think I can safely say that American Dad is an awful show. I truly despise it and find nearly every aspect of it grating. It’s longevity is enormously weird to me. The voice acting, the writing, the design, and animation all hint at some kind of desperate attempt to recapture Family Guy’s charms. Everything about it seems dashed off. I picture a lot of shrugging in the writer’s room, who all seem to love writing visual gags that are funny on paper but bad on screen. Visual gags that would be impressive if they pulled them off in live-action, but in a lifeless cartoon they look like shit. Everything about it seems remarkably less-inspired than Family Guy.

The big thing I need to address here: Yes, I know Family Guy is generally hated by many people who like to think of themselves as having a superior sense of humor. I have been a Family Guy hater myself. While I don’t typically count Family Guy among my favorite shows, I do feel compelled to defend it to a certain degree. The gags in Family Guy are often very funny, and it doesn’t make you smart to deem the “cutaway” conceit of the show as bad writing. If you don’t like it, that’s fine! But the fact that many people will call Family Guy bad and American Dad good simply because American Dad doesn’t do cutaways has always been preposterous to me. How do you not see that American Dad is so much worse than Family Guy? In short - if you hate Family Guy, you better fucking hate American Dad even more.

American Dad, if I remember correctly, had a similar deal with Adult Swim as they did with Family Guy, which is that American Dad premiers on Fox and then a little later the episode debuts on Adult Swim. I remember it being a week later for Family Guy, but I don’t feel like looking it up to make sure, or assuming it was exactly the same with American Dad. But Adult Swim got in early with American Dad. TBS purchased American Dad from Fox a few years ago, fleeing the grasp of Disney’s Fox takeover, so it’ll likely be a staple on Adult Swim for the foreseeable future, unlike Family Guy which got yanked earlier this year. So, for better or for worse, we are stuck with it.* *I wrote this before I was aware of the revelation that Futurama was coming back to Adult Swim, but instead of editing what I wrote I am adding this. Also, I forgot about King of the Hill also being back. No such excuse. I’m bad!

MAIL BAG

I have a theory that the worst thing about the way Robot Chicken looks is the faces: The South Park-esque mouths mixed with either beady action figure eyes or big exaggerated bug eyes. I don't know if that's the main problem but I don't know what else to single out. Maybe action figures are just bad for comedy

I’m not wild about this either. I’d prefer Clutch Cargo mouths, so we can see Seth’s cool pierced lip he probably has.

sharing a short dousy video edit i made.

i don't know why but i really like this and thought i'd share it on here too.

should i rant about what goes in my head while making this video? no. will i? yes.

basically the song is beginning middle end by leah nobel from to all the boys i've loved before part 3. this song is basically about two people falling in love from the early years of their lives. since lara jean and peter met when they were kids. but then started (fake) dating in high school and their adventure together started right then and there. anyway, watch the movies if you haven't already. this song fits lara jean and peter so well (i don't know if it was written specifically for them or not).

but daisy and sousa didnt meet when they were kids because of one obvious reason: when daisy was a kid, sousa's dead; and when sousa was a kid, daisy hadn't been born yet. they weren't supposed to meet. so their journey started off separately.

daisy's beginning in shield was rocky, to say the least. but she found a home there with coulson, fitzsimmons and may (i'll get to ward) in season 1. they bonded quite quickly, mainly daisy skye and coulson. i think it shifts when she got shot by ian quinn. everyone in the team, especially ward was terrified and angry at the situation. now. she had a relationship with miles early on in the season, which was broken off. but within the context of the song, her beginning was ward. he was her s.o. she was falling for him when she uncovered that he's hydra. add that trauma to the ones she already had prior to shield. no wonder she has trust issues.

her middle was her powers. even though the story started early in the series, it's still the middle. because she struggled with her powers throughout seasons 2 - 5. the middle would always be the bulk of it all. it's where everything happens. it's the crux of a character, of a person. it's where daisy became daisy. now, in the middle of her middle (pun very much intended), was lincoln. the first inhuman who helped her and understood her. i'm sure they've got their own problems and everything, but it doesn't change the fact that he was someone who knew what she's going through. none of her found family could help her the way he could. this is where i think it gets interesting. seasons 2 - 5, where i said was her middle, and basically the peak/climax of daisy as a character, she was falling for and fell for lincoln. it was known that daisy was still in love with lincoln in season 5. possibly around 2 years after he died. but then we found out that she had moved on from lincoln in the beginning of season 6.

season 6 and 7 is the end of her journey with the team. they're still a family. just a family who occassionally see each other. now in season 6, like i mentioned previously, it was acknowledged that daisy had moved on. the past will always be with her, no doubt. the trauma would stick. hopefully just bits and pieces. but it would still be there until she either had alzheimer's, dementia, any other retrograde amnesia injuries or diseases, or the day she died. she would never forget lincoln or ward, heck even miles. she won't forget her past. unless it was taken away from her. so, back to the topic at hand, she wanted her own fitz. she had grown from the woman she was in the beginning, she had grown from the woman and superhero that she was in the middle. she knows who she is now. with the people she worked with. and the people she calls her family. and also with anyone. daisy's ending was perfect (to me at least). she wasn't looking for love right then and there. she was burnt one too many times. but she wanted that kind of love and support. the love and support that fitz and simmons have for each other. something that daisy lacked all her life. she ended up with someone who gave her what she wanted. and what she needed.

with sousa, it's a little different. because we didn't get to see much of his background and family life. we didn't get to know what his life was like during the war and before the war. we begin to see him in the ssr. we all knew, literally everyone knew, even the characters knew that sousa's practically in love with peggy. except for maybe peggy herself. but i'm sure she had an inkling. she definitely had an inkling. but then things go on and he became chief of the west coast office and he was in los angeles while peggy was in new york. he moved on (or so we thought). he started dating violet and was ready to marry her. he told her he loved her. and he did. it's just that he was also in love with peggy. still. and violet saw that. it's as clear as day. and they broke it off.

we didn't get to see much of sousa's middle. mainly because ac wasn't renewed for a third season. which was such a waste because it ended with so many things left unanswered. but we know that between 1947 - 1955, peggy and sousa broke up. we have no idea why. we don't know if steve was back. nada. all we know is that they broke up. when did they break up? again. no idea. but we know that peggy means a lot to sousa. she's like (sorta; i don't like making comparisons but anyway) sousa's lincoln in a way (i'm not saying that they're the exact replica. daisy/lincoln and peggy/sousa are quite different. but they do have similarities. those pairings are the kind where they want to be together forever but knew that it wouldn't work; my interpretation). she didn't die, we know that. but she's sort of the one that got away. my guess is that it's because shield and the world was more important than each other. which wasn't dissimilar to daisy and lincoln's situation. so, yes. peggy's sousa's middle. she influenced him a lot. and he found himself amidst ssr and shield (just like daisy did).

sousa's end was again, perfect. he went to the future. got to see what the organisation he helped build came to be. he went on an adventure to explore space. which he would geek out over. instead of dying, he got to live. with the love of his (new) life. he may be a man out of time, but with daisy and their ragtag family, he is right where he belongs.

daisy and sousa began with "who the hell are you" and ended with "it's beautiful" (just putting this here because i love that fact).

so. they started pretty quickly, didn't they? 4 episodes in and sousa fell in love with daisy. 7 episodes in and daisy fell in love with sousa. though i doubt that they thought they're in love. but they're falling. or walking towards it. 7x03 was when they met. it's where it all began. in area 51 of all places (foreshadow much?). but what's even more interesting is that technically, they began twice. from daisy's perspective, they met in 6x13 (which plenty of people had pointed out; but @agents-of-fangirling was the most recent). even though they didn't actually meet because sousa was wearing that blue (seriously his colour really is blue) hazmat suit and daisy was disoriented (may dying and all that jazz). but from sousa's perspective, they met in 7x03. where they actually made eye contact and conversed. how many couples can say that the when of their first encounter was debatable?

now. their middle, in the video edit, i used the scene from 7x10. because i think that's a pretty good middle. they had their first first kiss. sousa had no idea that happened. yet, there he was, wanting to help. just like his time-loop self. he extended a hand and she accepted. she accepted help. do you know how much of a development that was??? because i think that it's a huge character development (i still haven't rewatched so don't take my word for it). i think that's a good depiction of their middle. oh yeah. before i forgot. they also had two first kisses. and again, i say, how many couples can say that they had two first kiss? figured i'd choose the scene in the middle of those first kisses (pun intended lmao).

sidenote: did y'all see the devastation in her eyes when sousa volunteered to stay in the 80s? or how her eyes went wide and she started to panic when he was injected in the time loops? sousa's a man of action. and when he says something, he means it. so, his constant concern over daisy and him wanting to help in any way he can, it's his love language.

and then we have their ending. the perfect end to an imperfect couple (because nobody's perfect *cue hannah montana*). daisy got sousa a typewriter. because he's from the 50s. since when did daisy buy gifts for her boyfriends/partners/lovers? and they watched e.t. together? that's normal couple things. even though they are far from normal. but they get to experience it all together. daisy didn't get to in the past. none that we know of anyway. and now she does. also, that smile when she talks about him. that fond smile that grazed her lips at the thought of him. i've never seen her smile like that before (none that i remember; and if she did, well then i'm so so happy for her). she looks happy. serene. and her saying "he's a dork" twice in the season just makes my heart burst with happiness for them.

sidenote: my headcannon is that "he's a dork" is code for "i love him too much to explain it in words."

i'd like to believe that even though it has ended, their story has just begun. they're going through their middle right now. and i hope that they won't end. in other words, their end was not an ending. it was a beginning of a new life.

as daisy said, "we're loving the journey together." keyword: journey. it's a long road up ahead. with countless of challenges and obstacles in the way. but in the end, all that matters is that they face it together.

that's it. thanks for coming to my ted talk (for those who actually read it all the way through, i love you).

#watch the video til the very end😉#dousy #i know nobody's gonna read this #but i needed to hash it out #😬😬#character analysis #sort of #relationship analysis #🥺👉👈#sorry for the long ass post #like seriously long #i set out to write a quick lil paragraph and ended up writing an essay

Since it's V day/Virgin Insecurity Day, what are your favorite confirmed couples in media?

This may be a very small list because usually the shit I like don't ever get to be canon and if it does it isn’t for very long.

Kim Possible & Ron Stoppable: After years of shipping 2 characters together only to get shut down over, and over, and over again this was the one instance where a show went “You know what? We ain’t trolling you this time. It’s exactly what it looks like”. When the So The Drama movie went down it truly felt so surreal and strange to actually see something I wanted become a reality. It’s kind of a personal highlight for me fandomly speaking and that’s how big of a deal it was. They will always be at the top of that very list for me. Drakken & Shego are also in there as well.

Superman & Wonder Woman: It's not the status quo canon but whenever we get the adaptations where it is it's always a good time for me. I do appreciate Diana and Steve Trevor in the movies, however.

Joker & Harley Quinn: Toxic, abusive, manipulative and every kinda fucked AND YET I loved that shit in Suicide Squad. I shipped that shit in the animated series having not read the comics and always wanted to feel vindicated in some way for actually buying into that pairing and then came Suicide Squad to feed my starving-ass. And then in classic fashion I was told to go fuck myself and the world shut that whole thing down.

Caulifla & Kale: A couple so legit they got people out here concussed thinking they ain’t a couple. Two characters incredibly powerful in their own right and glow up even more so together ‘cause their fusion ain’t nothing to fuck with. The first real Saiyan women the series actually showcased and as long as it took to happen they were worth the wait. Sure; the show wants you to believe Goku can beat them but that’s all just nothing but fan fiction.

10 Injustice Characters the DC Animated Movie Needs to Get Right

https://ift.tt/3fCncB7

As we wait an announcement pertaining to the existence of NetherRealm Studios’ Injustice 3, we at least know that Warner Bros. is set to adapt the games into a DC animated movie.

Ever since its release in 2013, the Injustice franchise has not only become a staple of NetherRealm’s roster, but the comic spinoffs have made it a beloved part of the DC multiverse. The plot revolves around a reality where the Joker was able to mess with Superman so badly that the Man of Steel gradually became a mass-murdering dictator, with the support of several members of the Justice League. Left without any other option, Batman brought in counterparts of the Justice League from the “mainstream” universe to help him fight a civil war against his former friend. It was a story that merged the Justice Lords two-parter from the Justice League cartoon with Marvel’s original Squadron Supreme comic series.

A popular prequel series was released, mostly written by Tom Taylor, that explained the five years in-between Superman killing the Joker in cold blood and Batman’s last stand. Sometime later, the game’s story was adapted into the comic Injustice: Ground Zero. And the Injustice universe has only continued to grow since then.

As snazzy as NetherRealm’s story modes are, they are going to have to make some changes to the narrative for the animated movie. It’s not like every character is going to stumble into exactly four best-two-out-of-three fights in a row before someone else is the focus. Knowing that there will be alterations, some characters are really going to need some tender love and care.

Superman (Both of Them)

Injustice: Gods Among Us didn’t invent the idea of an evil Superman, but things are a bit over-saturated these days. Face it, “Dark Superman” has been done to death, what with Brightburn, The Boys, Invincible, and everything Zack Snyder intended with his Justice League movies.

It’s important that the animated movie really get into the WHY of what turned Superman evil instead of the Joker just getting a tragic win over him. The Injustice comic nudged him over and over again with multiple betrayals and manipulations before he finally snapped and angrily broke every bone in Green Arrow’s body. Hit all that, or at least enough of it.

More importantly, Injustice is a story of two different Supermen. The mainstream Superman has to ring true. He has to be the beacon of hope and positivity that pop culture has been missing for the past decade.

Ultimately, as long as they don’t do that minigame where Superman blows up cars and the people in them with his eye-lasers, we’re cool.

Batman

In this DC take of Marvel’s Civil War, Batman is by default the better person when compared to Superman. He has a line he won’t cross and that means no murder and no tyranny. That said, he still needs to be portrayed as a flawed hero. He may be competent, but he still behaves like a total douche at times and deserves to take one to the chin every now and then.

Being a paranoid futurist who buries himself in contingency plans means alienating allies, friends, and even family members. There’s a great moment in the Injustice comic where he reveals that he infected Cyborg with a virus within a week of meeting (you know, just in case), which Killer Croc says is outright sinister. It’s this kind of behavior that led to Superman’s fall to darkness, because even if Bruce wasn’t behind any of the horrors, he still chose coldness and paranoia over being there for a friend who was going through some serious shit.

Harley Quinn

A hype trailer for Harley painted her as a major protagonist in the first game but the game’s story mode just didn’t measure up. The comics did a better job and the Ground Zero volume was specifically about telling the game’s story from Harley’s perspective. I’m not saying that she should be joined by her team of BFF henchmen from Ground Zero, but she should definitely be a prominent hero.

Similar to the Mark Waid comic series Irredeemable and Incorruptible (also about an evil take on Superman), Harley’s turn to heroism is the universe’s response to Superman’s actions. She’s done some horrible things and may never make up for her actions under the Joker’s thumb, but she’ll keep fighting to stop Superman’s atrocities.

Wonder Woman

While Batman did a bad job trying to pull Superman from the darkness, Wonder Woman succeeded in pushing him in. It’s noted here and there, but this Wonder Woman was also altered by tragedy. In this timeline, Steve Trevor turned out to be a Nazi traitor. His betrayal left Diana feeling much less optimistic and hopeful than her mainstream self.

Wonder Woman’s villainy isn’t as pronounced as Superman’s, but she’s definitely the friendly face who eggs him on and wants him to stand over all mankind. As Superman uses her to fill the void left from Lois Lane’s death, the power couple become very good at bringing out the worst in each other.

Damian Wayne

The Injustice game did Damian a little dirty, revealing deep into the story that the Nightwing fighting on Superman’s side was not Dick Grayson, but Damian. According to Batman, Damian murdered Dick. The comics dove deeper into that and made it more of a freak accident brought on by Damian being an impulsive and angry child. Still, Bruce and his son were unable to make amends due to their shared lack of warmth.

Later stories, and even Injustice 2, added more depth to Damian. It always made sense that he’d join Superman’s Regime, but there was a soul in there who would eventually see that this wasn’t the right path. In the comic Injustice vs. Masters of the Universe, which was treated as a sequel to Injustice 2’s dark ending, Damian took up the mantle of Batman to oppose Superman and even grew a long-missing sense of humor in the process.

Lex Luthor

The great tragedy of the DC multiverse is that Superman and Lex Luthor just can’t get along. They will always be at odds no matter what Earth they come from. The Injustice universe was the one exception, as Luthor was portrayed as fairly warm and altruistic. Much like Batman, he has contingency plans up the wazoo, but they don’t come off as creepy.

Seeing him there as Superman’s longtime friend who sadly has to stab him in the back brings back that multiversal truth about the duo. Just because this is a world where Superman kills and things get very bleak doesn’t mean it’s the worst world and that it isn’t worth saving. The mainstream Cyborg is reluctant to come to terms with this heroic Luthor, but he ultimately accepts the miracle that this universe created a Luthor worth befriending and even looking up to.

Hal Jordan

Maybe it’s just me, but I was never a fan of how Geoff Johns retconned Hal’s past and gave him deniability for everything he did as Parallax. I liked that a boring hero dude like Hal snapped, did some bad stuff, and then had to accept his failures in an attempt to be better. With Injustice, they gave us that exact Hal.

Injustice Beat Zack Snyder’s Justice League to the Punch

By Matthew Byrd

Comics

Injustice: Year Zero Brings the Justice Society to DC Alternate Universe

By Jim Dandy

Overflowing with willpower and being an otherwise competent space cop, Hal is still something of a dunce at times, and he’s susceptible to manipulation in the right situation. He’s already following Superman’s lead, but having Sinestro pop in to indoctrinate him into the Sinestro Corps makes him actually interesting. Let Hal be the worst version of himself here so he can double back on it in the sequel and beg Guy Gardner’s ghost for forgiveness.

Shazam

Injustice may be the B-side to Mortal Kombat, but the game itself is fairly tame on the violence. Joker’s death isn’t actually shown on screen, Luthor’s end is fairly clean, and Grodd taking a trident to the torso is relatively tame.

But what we absolutely, positively have to see in the animated movie is Shazam’s death scene to really give an idea of how far gone Superman is. It’s bloodless from our point of view, but it’s grisly as hell and made worse when you remember that Shazam is a literal child under all the mystical power.

Batgirl

The Barbara Gordon version of Batgirl was one of the first DLC characters added to Injustice, but it’s unfortunate that she’s not in the main story mode — something the animated movie could fix by giving her a more prominent role in the fight against the Regime. Her ending gives her a kickass backstory where she returns to the cowl after her father dies at Superman’s hands. The comics go deeper into this, even making it so that Superman doesn’t directly kill Commissioner Gordon.

In this continuity, she was already wheelchair-bound as Oracle. She had to go under a very dangerous procedure under Luthor’s care in order to walk again. This is one of the storylines that could make for a captivating arc in the movie.

Alfred Pennyworth

Alfred isn’t in either Injustice game. He’s already dead by the start of the first game. But I don’t care. Alfred needs to be in the animated movie because he is the heart and soul of the Injustice comics. While others bow to Superman, follow him, or even try to reason with him, Alfred Pennyworth doesn’t play those games. He will straight-up verbally clown Superman for his actions without flinching. He is not afraid of the Kryptonian, no matter how red his glowing eyes get.

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

This comes to a head in the comics when Alfred takes a pill that gives him Kryptonian strength and he kicks the absolute shit out of Superman for ruining his family. I know I’m asking for a lot, but I simply need to see Alfred stomp a mudhole in Superman so hard that his own shoe explodes from the impact.

Comics this week (11/11/2020)?

Iron Man #3: It’s keeping it up! I keep kinda expecting this to drop off, but it keeps delivering.

Warhammer 40,000: Marneus Calgar #2: Again, coming to this with no background knowledge or investment, but this is some solid comic-booking.

We Only Find Them When They’re Dead #3: Noooowwwww it’s becoming an Al Ewing comic. I liked those first two setup issues, but it’s getting into the thick of it and I’m more than ready. And the way Di Meo and Miotti play with colors and shadows in this one? Drooling.

Penultiman #2: God, if Penultiman isn’t the most agonizingly relatable take on Superman for this generation possible. Between this and The Wrong Earth I’m ready to say that Peyer isn’t ‘merely’ a painfully unheralded talent, but that DC missed the boat in a huge way not elevating him to their bigger titles while they could.

Superman #27: My boy! Sadly spoiled - no anger, but I do remind you all to please wait a few days after release if I haven’t said anything before asking spoilery questions - but my boy’s here! Anyway, really solid issue on every front, really curious how the next issue is going to close out not only this arc but the run as a whole.

The Green Lantern Season Two #9: Hahaha Morrison’s back on their bullshit in the best way, love it. And if there has EVER been a testament to the power of coloring in comics to completely redefine the look of a title, it’s what’s happened here since Sharp and Oliff decided to start getting experimental.

Wonder Woman #766: Maybe it’s Steve Pugh’s art, maybe it’s splitting up Diana and Max, but this issue did work a bit better for me.

Punchline #1: Well, I’m getting Batman, so here you go. It’s a fine enough issue: there are some interesting tacks here between someone trying to parse the thematic intent behind Joker’s crimes from an in-universe bystander’s perspective, and sort of seeing a culture war prop up around these elevated supervillainous circumstances that still has roots in radicalization and the easy absolution that comes with being young, white, and attractive; almost Astro City-esque. Mirka Andolfo’s art really fits, the sort of slick stylized work suited to a story centered around young people while getting scary and hallucinogenic as needed to sell that this is still a Joker-adjacent story. And Bluebird’s back, she’s great! At the end of the day though, there’s still nothing here that’s convinced me that Punchline is a creation of Tynion’s in the same way as Clownhunter or Ghostmaker, so much as a mandate from DC of ‘give us a new Harley Quinn, but without the abuse overtones so she can stay Joker’s evil sidekick, and also hotter’. In summation:

Anonymous said: Let's take a moment to think about how the words "big tiddy goth girlfriend" were written in an official comic published by DC.

The Batman’s Grave #8-11: So I’ve known for awhile now that when The Batman’s Grave wrapped and I could be sure DC wouldn’t be making any money off it, I’d get the remainder of it out of the back-issue boxes. I had today off from work, so while I was at my LCS I checked said boxes since I wasn’t seeing some of it on the shelves and couldn’t find them. I thought “oops, guessed I missed them. No great loss anymore given, it’s not like I can’t live without these or that I was ever gonna get his comics again after it, but still annoying. Might as well double-check”, so I asked the guy behind the desk and they did indeed have all those issues, and after making sure with him that they weren’t ordering any reprints of those so my buying them wouldn’t prompt them repurchasing it from DC - and with only one issue left, so further reorders aren’t happening in the future either - and since I’d just been standing there asking after it, I went ahead and grabbed them knowing it would only benefit the store rather than incentivizing giving Ellis further work.

Explanation for why I felt comfortable touching them out of the way: Choices were made here. There’s still some very good stuff, of course there is, it’s still Warren Ellis doing a bigass Batman comic with Bryan Hitch - though more on the scale of Ellis’s James Bond run or work in the Ultimate universe rather than one of his real triumphs, it doesn’t even live up to most of his previous Batman stories - and in a different world I’d probably be calling this the definitive ‘Batman-as-detective’ story of the decade and a deserved perennial in the making. But even momentarily putting aside the real-world circumstances, there are the sort of morally horrifying moments like in Ellis’s infamous Secret Avengers finale *all over the place* in this, and I genuinely can’t tell what’s meant to be horrifying and what’s meant to be badass. Batman tortures a dude but shock reveal he only hurt him so bad he thought he was being tortured, a couple cops execute a cop-killer and depending on how you read the scene Gordon might know and be cool with it, and Bruce declaring his mission in 2020 to be “I work with the police to uphold society’s rule of laws” - it’s I suppose appropriate for his last Big Two comics work that he’s showing his ass in the biggest, most unsettling way possible.

Superman: Man of Tomorrow #19: When buying #18 at the prompting of a few of you (thanks again!) I saw the advertised premise for the next one looked really interesting, so I got it, and folks. This might be my all-time favorite World’s Finest story? Amazing high concept executed perfectly, really joyful character work, basically everything you want to see out of a comic with Superman and Batman in it. It’s $1 and so very much worth your time.

i finally watched 10.10! here are some thoughts. you might maybe not want to read this if you really enjoyed adam’s plot in the episode, because i, uh, have some reservations.

i started laughing during the “previously on” flashbacks when adam told tamiko that she could get free of her yakuza ties because “look at me. i did.” are you sure, adam? are you sure you’re sure? because every single subplot you’ve ever had over your nine or so years on this show seems to contradict that, fjdkfd.

oof, poor adam has to fight his attackers utterly butt-naked, which is not the way you’d want to start your day. also, i mean, they have tamiko. double bad.

fdjkfd adam wakes up to tamiko’s dad’s men cleaning up the signs of struggle in the apartment and the dad standing over him, and adam’s been covered up with a sheet (very thoughtful mob men!) but that’s, uh, a very awkward position to be in with your girlfriend’s dad.

“we’ll leave five-0 out of it.” no adam, bad. bad idea. [sprays him with water bottle]

tani being the voice of reason in the face of junior and lou wanting to keep a tiny pink kid’s bike that samantha will have zero use for anymore is a thing of beauty, even if i do understand junior’s position.

fjdkfdjkf lou: “that’s right. [the victims are] all male, all in their early forties.” steve: “ooy. prime of their lives.” quinn, quietly but not so quietly steve won’t hear her: “guys in their forties love saying that.” haaa, i love her. so far, this is a GOOD episode for the women, omg.

steve talking about his health and getting older, even if it’s just that he’s a little down about it because his doctor says he can’t eat steak anymore (the horror!!!), is kind of very wonderful to see on screen, gosh. that’s the kind of content i want.

adam: “i came down with a bug or something.” yes, the bug is in his brain and it’s called i-have-a-stupid-need-to-tackle-my-problems-on-my-own. many people in five-0 are familiar with it, so you might want to ask their help, adam.

so. so here’s the thing: i never really liked adam for kono, and then i warmed up to them as a couple, and shortly after that they got divorced. i never really liked adam on the team, and then i started warming up to him as a member of it because he was being a genuinely good guy, making friends with a homeless man etcetera (and his last big yakuza plot was finally wrapped up), and now he’s going rogue and assaulting an informant and acting behind the team’s back, and he’s probably about to do worse things and get deep into yakuza business again, idk, and honestly, i just. i just don’t really care. i started to like him when he was kind and now he’s suddenly Bad Adam out of nowhere again (i mean, it’s because his girlfriend was kidnapped and that makes some sense, but we don’t really know her and i have zero investment in her or their relationship and she’s more of a prop than a person and it’s all just kind of whiplash-y and i wish i cared but i’m afraid i just don’t. they keep flipflopping between making adam a really sweet good guy and a violent, bad one and i wish they’d just choose, or at least make the seesawing more understandable and interesting. his motives and the stakes are too undefined to me, i guess. it doesn’t carry any weight.

quinn obnoxiously and loudly eating a malasada in front of steve while refusing to share for steve’s supposed health is wonderful though!!! i mean, steve almost gets into a car crash while trying to snatch a malasada, which shows slightly skewed priorities, but at least the desire for a donut is something i can relate to. that’s a good plot. (i kid, but not entirely.)

aha! duke finds out about adam’s activities for the day.

the adam plot is coming to a head and they have tamiko back but her dad’s been shot, and i know i just said i don’t really care and i still don’t for the most part, but my god, tamiko, that poor woman? she’s been kidnapped and drugged while naked and then there were people shooting over her head and just when she thought it was over, her father is dying, and doing a lot of violence to a woman is not the same as building a character or plot that makes me feel something (do! not! confuse those two!), but it does still make me feel something.

h50 is generally a fairly black and white show (the bad guys are bad and the good guys are good, and people who are in prison deserve to be there and worse), far more so than in any way fits into my own moral view of the world, so i really like seeing this plot in which a guy gets to be freed from incarceration by our main cast because it turns out he didn’t commit any crimes! it’s a nice turn around from viewing all prisoners as irredeemable bad guys - here’s a man who claims he’s innocent and actually is innocent. (even though his story also makes my heart hurt because he’s already been in there TEN YEARS and jfc, he’s going to need more therapy than tamiko.)

we get lou on the phone with samantha and it’s really cute! and then he also talks to tani and junior about how will’s gone now too, and it’s good to at least know that (i mean, we could guess, but we’d never gotten any kind of confirmation before), but it also puts into stark contrast that we still don’t actually know for sure where grace is this year, fjdkfd. we can infer that she went to college, but like. mention it. (hashtag don’t let grace be the next female character that disappears on this show, please.)

dsfjdkfjdkfjdfjdk right SO. adam has realized that the guy who now inherits tamiko’s dead dad’s power probably plotted to murder tamiko’s dad, and then the guy is like “let’s finish our business” and essentially, it boils down to adam having kidnapped and tortured a guy for information and now that man is about to get killed while adam’s there and very definitely guilty of a number of things and i’m screaming because this gives me extreme déjà vu feelings to the time adam killed two guys in the woods and that time he tortured another guy, i think? both also after he’d finally gotten onto the right path, and then he ended up in prison. i guess they want adam off the show again, so they had to make him do ~bad things~ that were definitely totally absolutely against his will for [cue dramatic music and wind machine] The Woman He Loves! [dramatic zoom on Adam’s face or something, idek, eagle cries in the distance]

now adam is being threatened by New Baddest Guy and i am genuinely confused, because i think we’re supposed to feel sorry for him when the guy says adam’s career with five-0 will be over? but i kind of, um. kind of think that might maybe be a good idea? not even just because he did bad things, but also like, adam keeps getting drawn into this yakuza shit and he just really, really needs to move states and start a new life from scratch that doesn’t involve law enforcement but accounting or painting or modelling or what have you, because this is like an addiction that keeps pulling at him and it’s good for no one, least of all him.

dude gets shot (the one adam abducted and hand delivered), adam looks shocked. WHAT DID YOU EXPECT, ADAM.

and then steve calls adam and asks him to come to hq and we get a little scene showing us that duke brought steve all the evidence against adam, and the episode ends. oh boy.

so i liked some things about this episode! all of tani and quinn’s lines, lou talking about how he feels about his kids moving out, tani and junior’s interactions, steve’s health being a topic that gets brought up even if it’s jokingly, the general substance of the case steve and quinn solved. i feel like i’m being very negative about the adam plot and if you’re someone who does like it, obviously that’s cool, and i’m happy for you! i’m glad you can enjoy that. i just. personally, i’m so tired. this makes very little sense to me in ways that aren’t “i don’t understand this” but rather “this doesn’t logically work for me” (and i’m also simply not very interested in it, i’ll admit) and if this is a thing leading up to adam leaving, then if this is the version of adam we’re going to get for the forseeable future, i honestly wouldn’t mind. i liked good, kind, found-a-good-place-in-life adam! but oh dear lord, i’m tired of watching him slide back into yakuza drama over and over and over again because the writers don’t seem to want to think of a different storyline for him that might not involve... whatever this is. (also, tamiko absolutely failed the sexy lamp test in this episode (as in, she could have been replaced by a sexy lamp and the plot would have been the exact same) and it makes me sad.)

#h50 #10.10 #i guess there's some #h50 criticism #*#honestly the longer i'm in this fandom the more i realize that what i really want #is all of the characters sitting in steve's backyard or at rumfire or wherever for the entire episode and just talking #about their day to day lives and how they're feeling and when they last talked to x character we haven't seen in a while #idk let them discuss football or something #i don't know the first thing about football and i don't give a hoot about it but most of the characters would enjoy it!!! that's all i want #and i know canon is never going to give us an episode like this because that's not how this show works but gosh #it's a shame
