I see you reblogging some comic stuff an I was wondering if you have a favorite comic or favorite character or ship?

this ask is from so long ago but [DEEP BREATH IN] i’m finally going to answer it, nonny. finally. i kept wanting to read a little bit farther in my comics stack because.... maybe i’ll like that and will regret not having recced it, i just hafta--get--to it, see? and, honestly, i’m still there BUT, come on, i’ll never be caught up because that would mean comics would just have to stop coming out and i would be sad forever if that happened, SO

i’m not even going to pretend like i can narrow this down to one comic. (one ship? sure, that’s spideypool. one character? sure, that’s the merc with a mouth, the regenerating degenerate, wade motherfucking wilson. but one comic?!) there is just straight-up too much out there to make a definitive ‘yes, this is it, this is THE ONE ™ ’ statement. instead, uh, let’s break this shit down, yeah? (super special secret bonus round, will note all lgbt+ rep and standalone comics.) in no particular order, here the frig it goes!

HORROR

infidel, by pornsak pichetshote and aaron campbell. in case you haven’t seen this on every 2018 best list ever, here it is. and, yeah, it was good. a muslim-american main character living in a haunted apartment building where the entities feed off the xenophobia of its occupants. if that’s not a fucking modern horror story i don’t know what is.

spread, by justin jordan and kyle strahm. THIS IS ONE OF MY NEW AND ALREADY ALL-TIME FAVORITES. what an awesomely weird and epic story. the spread is an uncontrollable, unstoppable monster-making force that humanity accidentally unleashed by digging too deep. it infects everything it touches and basically all of humanity is running from quarantine to quarantine just hoping for the best. and speaking of hope.... she’s a baby, rescued by no, and the only thing that’s ever been able to stop the spread. also, no’s gay? and i just DID NOT see that coming. it seems like it’s going to be such a formulaic, bro-y story about the action hero who kisses the face off his girl (her name’s molly and she’s batshit insane and amazing) and instead, nope, it is not that at all. lgbt+ main characters.

the black monday murders, by jonathan hickman and tomm coker. hate capitalism? think all the rich and powerful are evil, soul-sucking monsters? [obnoxious, low-budget commercial sound effects] MAN, HAVE I GOT THE SERIES FOR YOU.

the beauty, by jeremy haun and jason a. hurley. i just started this recently but so far, oh my good golly gosh, i looove it. a sexually transmitted disease that makes you conventionally gorgeous.... at least before it explodies you. [wide, creepy smile] the art is gorgeous, the characters are aces and i am very, very pleased so far. lgbt+ minor characters.

the great divide, by ben fisher and adam markiewicz. this? was a COOL idea. the execution stumbled a bit but, gosh, was it neat. it’s post-apocalyptic where touching another person will literally kill.... one of you. the survivor then absorbs the memories of the person who dies, taking on a ‘rider.’ some people collect them, some people go mad, some form a bond, all have the side effect of dyslexia. like i said, neat as all get out. lgbt+ minor-ish/main-ish character. standalone.

revival, by tim seely and mike norton. a rural town in wisconsin experiences ‘miracle day,’ where the dead rise again.... except, they were kinda already mourned and buried and this is really just fucking up the status quo.

the woods, by james tynion iv and michael dialynas. a high school gets picked up and plopped down in an entirely new, and wickedly hostile universe. it’s all survival and alliances and seeing what you’re really made of when it comes down to it. lgbt+ main characters.

clean room, by gail simone and jon davis-hunt. a cult, a journalist and a clean room walk into a bar...

anya’s ghost, by vera brosgol. you think it’ll be a cute story of a girl and her ghost. HA HA THAT IS NOT WHAT HAPPENS AT ALL, OKAY.

FANTASY

rumble, by john arcudi and james harren. SCARECROW WARRIOR GOD, SCARECROW WARRIOR GOD, SCARECROW WARRIOR GOD!!! okay, first off, the art in this? pushes every friggin’ button i’ve got, and many i did not know i had. second, this book is so fucking fun. it’s mythology that’s balls to the wall ridiculous, funny, and features a main character whose life motto is basically: ‘do i have to?’ infinitely relatable and then some.

heathen, by natasha alterici and rachel deering. UGH, ONE OF MY FAVORITES. the art is just horribly, horrendously gorgeous and it’s LESBIAN VIKING MYTHOLOGY, OKAY. OKAYYYY??? lgbt+ main characters.

the wicked + the divine, by kieron gillen and jamie mckelvie. one of my favorite ever series right here. it’s a hella cool concept (gods reincarnating as humans every twelve years, and burning up their hosts in two), whip-smart and if you’ve ever met a human being who likes a pun more than kieron gillen i defy you to produce them. lgbt+ main and minor characters.

batgirl, by gail simone and adrian sayaf and vicente cifuentes. you know how people rave about gail simone? there’s a reason people rave about gail simone. honestly, i’ve never had much interest in babs. i don’t tend to go for superheroes who don’t kill and i have even less interest in ‘the killing joke’ story line and i am convinced only gail simone could’ve done the recovery on that and she did a GLORIOUS job of it.

red hood and the outlaws, by scott lobdell and dexter soy. (ignoring recent - and annoying - developments), this is my favorite of all the rebirths dc did. scott lobdell is the only writer to have gotten the idea down of: okay, we’re starting over, i assume you don’t know anything but i also assume there are a bajillion people reading who know everything, and hit the perfect medium between those two things. so if you want to start a jason todd run, you legitimately can here, and get all the found family, badassery, batman-teasing enjoyment there is to be had.

iceman, by sina grace and robert gill (covers by kevin wada). classic super-heroing here and bobby’s first solo title. he’s figuring out coming out while fighting (and flirting) with baddies. sina really gets his humor and how truly wonder-awful it is! lgbt+ main character.

spider-man/deadpool, by joe kelly and ed mcguinness. watch those names there, those are your guys right there, period. they looked at the void of a spider-man/deadpool series and filled it with absolutely everything you could possibly want for the pair (sans a hardcore make-out sesh, though they did get a few variant covers with some puckered up lips in there!)

limbo, by dan watters and caspar wijngaard. a fusion of 80s aesthetics, voodoo elements and a noir tone. just some remarkably cool shit in this. the ending, for me, left something to be desired but it was more than worth it to see worship via mixtapes. standalone.

hawkeye: kate bishop, by kelly thompson and leonardo romero. kate bishop is, apparently???, a super impossible character for a lot of writers. kelly thompson is not one of them. kelly thompson is my favorite kate bishop writer, actually, and the fact that she is ever not writing her is a gd travesty.

the unbeatable squirrel girl, by ryan north and erica henderson. honestly, i’m so tempted to just stick this under ‘contemporary,’ because it really does just feel very... normal. doreen’s navigating college, new friendships, and y’know... the squirrely-ness. this had every opportunity to suck and instead it’s funny as heck, never takes itself too seriously, and is just pure good-hearted entertainment through and through.

wolf, by ales kot and matt taylor. a paranormal detective and the-possible-antichrist go on a road trip. people hated this comic and i don’t know how you can hate a comic that has a character called freddy chtonic who has tentacles for a mouth???

ms. marvel, by g. willow wilson and adrian alphona. hi, you read ms. marvel because the world is a garbage fire and people are terrible and your cynicism is at an all time high and then kamala khan waltzes in and reminds you people generally want to help each other and the world improves when we work together and that thing optimists feel? you’ll feel that for as long as you’ve got the pages open and that’s a magical thing. lgbt+ minor character.

monstress, by marjorie m. liu and sana takeda. psychic links with monsters, matriarchal societies, magic and witchery, half-human/half-animal (and other ratios) characters, all through a steampunk lens. what’s not to like about that??

inhuman, by charles soule. i love this series, i love the idea of being a total average joe/joanne, getting smacked in the face by a cloud of mist and suddenly having to figure out how to live basically a whole new life. also, if you don’t fall madly in love with dante pertuz, i don’t even know what to tell you, my dude.

heart in a box, by kelly thompson and meredith mcclaren. break-ups suck, but only because of that whole pesky broken heart thing, right? so emma gives hers away. problem solved, no? standalone.

i kill giants, by joe kelly and j.m. ken niimura. i didn’t cry my eyes out or anything. did not. standalone.

sex criminals, by matt fraction and chip zdarsky. having sex = stopping time, which leads suzie and jon to the only logical conclusion: let’s rob some banks!

hawkeye, by matt fraction and david aja. honestly there are a lot of other artist combos in this run but the only ones that are worthwhile are the ones that have fraction and aja’s names on them - sorry not sorry.

SCIENCE FICTION

black bolt, by saladin ahmed and christian ward. saladin revived this character one hundred million percent. there is absolutely a reason this was parading around all over ‘best’ lists when it was released. it really, really did the damn thing.

saga, by brian k. vaughan and fiona staples. this is the comic you recommend to people who don’t even like comics because it is that good. like, my dad - who hadn’t read a comic since he was a pre-teen, eagerly awaits each new trade. the world-building, the characters, the care put into every single solitary bit of all the things? unparalleled. lgbt+ minor characters.

frostbite, by joshua williamson and jason shawn alexander. a post-apocalyptic story that has humanity dying from a plague that literally freezes you from the inside out. very neat, very cold, very readable. standalone.

descender, by jeff lemire and dustin nguyen. this had a rough start, for me, with the main character of the first trade being tim-21, an android who is literally incapable of having the depth to be a lead BUT that does not last through to the next trade, thank god. lots of space and found family and world-building in this to be had! but you know how people rave about jeff lemire? there’s a reason people rave about jeff lemire.

paper girls, by brian k. vaughan and cliff chiang. the 80s and time travel and lifelong friendships. it’s brian k. vaughan, you know it’s good, okay? why do i even have to sell you here, man? lgbt+ main characters.

injection, by warren ellis and declan shalvey. this is another one on my list that started out a little rough but really appealed to me later on. there was just a lot to absorb in that first trade but, once you’ve got it, the ride gets way, way smoother. lgbt+ main and minor characters.

black science, by rick remender and matteo scalera. this was a rocky start, because the main character is such an asshole but in a way where he can’t see he’s an asshole, he’s just a tortured genius who’s superior to all of you, don’t you know? but i am so glad i persevered because if that’s the set up? the rest of the series is knocking him back down. super scientist grant mckay finds a way to access the eververse, every possible reality the universe has on offer, and that’s really what causes every single problem that follows. hard to cause the apocalypse and be an arrogant prick, ya know?

CONTEMPORARY

giant days, by john allison and lissa treiman. this series is so funny and smart and warm. these girls are so kind to each other and relatable and failing at adulting regularly and often and i love reading about them. lgbt+ main character.

lumberjanes, by noelle stevenson and grace ellis and brooke a. allen. this is funny and ridiculous and kind and cool and all other awesome adjectives and you should read it, fact. lgbt+ main characters.

my brother’s husband, by gengoroh tagame and anne ishii (translator). this is such a sweet story about acceptance and family tbh. lgbt+ main character.

fence, by c. s. pacat and johanna the mad. i mean... i need to see nicholas and seiji hook-up, i need that, stat. stat means now! lgbt+ main characters.

WEB/INDEPENDENT COMICS

long exposure, by kam heyward. so mitch and jonas are my absolute faves and i love them to death and the author is so kind in that they actually put this up in print on indyplanet so i can read it the way i, personally, love to read comics (and - bonus! - support them with the monies). lgbt+ main characters.

modern dread, by pat shand and ryan fassett (editors). i’ve been trying to find more better horror comics lately so i’ve been kind of half-heartedly stumbling through kickstarter on the hunt and this was SUCH a great find. it’s an anthology but more cleverly done than any other kickstarter anthology i’ve read, with a main story line that seamlessly strings together the would-be-disjointed ones. this was really thoughtfully put together and really well done! standalone.

heartstopper, by alice oseman. a very sweet story about two high school-aged boys becoming fast friends, playing rugby and falling in love. the two characters are mentioned as an aside in the author’s book, solitaire, and she became so invested in them that she wrote their backstory as a free webcomic. lgbt+ main characters.

the pale, by jay fabares. JUST started this (like, just a day or so ago) but i’m enjoying it so far!

hotblood!, by toril orlesky. i mean... is it a webcomic about a centaur falling in love with his boss? it just might be. did i get a bound edition through a kickstarter campaign? maybe. maybe i did that. who’s to say? lgbt+ main characters.

the bay, by bbz. life on mars through the lens of three young professionals who form an odd but lasting friendship. lgbt+ main characters.

hard drive, by artroan. is it a nsfw comic about a dude and a robot? .... it might be a nsfw comic about a dude and a robot. [coughs] lgbt+ main characters.

seen nothing yet, by tess stone. a nsfw comic about two amateur ghost hunters. can’t imagine why i might be interested in that [coughs] lgbt+ main characters.

captain imani and the cosmic chase, by lin darrow and alex assan. i mean did i want a starship captain who can’t help but lust after the smuggler he’s chasing. i mean, maybe i did. maybe. lgbt+ main characters.

taproot, by keezy young. ghost falls in love with boy, boy falls in love with ghost, AND THEY LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER. lgbt+ main characters.

always raining here, by bell and hazel. just two boys falling in lurve. lgbt+ main characters.

Jyrus month day two: first kiss

Jonah: Cyrus Goodman just asked me over to his house.

Amber: Oh my god.

Jonah: To practice kissing him.

Amber: OH MY GOD.

Jonah usually wasn’t an impulsive person. Sure, sometimes he made decisions too fast, but he usually put thought into what he did. Which is why it was so out of character for him to audition for the school play.

When he auditioned, he didn’t anticipate how hard it’d be to tell his friends about it afterwards. He had reasoned with himself; it’s just a play, right? It can’t be that surprising. The problem was that he hadn’t taken two small things into account; he had literally never shown any interest in acting previously, and the reason he had decided to sign up.

Sitting in the cafeteria the day after, he was surprised that everyone else was so shocked by the news. Iris was the first to speak, responding “You auditioned for the play. That’s cool.”

“Thank you.”

“Can I just ask Why?”

“Oh. Um. I saw a guy sign up for it before me, and I maybe thought he was cute.” Silence at first. They were all waiting for an explanation, but he didn’t have one. In retrospect, it might not have been the smartest idea to dedicate himself to something that big without thinking, but he didn’t regret it. He had fun auditioning (Who knew he was good at acting?), and he saw the sign up guy a few times too.

“I can’t believe you auditioned for the play just because you saw a cute guy sign up too. And you didn’t even tell me? That’s just plain rude.”

“Amber, I didn’t tell you because I knew you’d either judge me or freak out. Looks like you’re going for the first.”

“I’m not judging you, I’m just surprised that you’re going for a theatre guy. And that you actually auditioned for the play. Who is he, anyways?”

“I don’t think you guys would know him, he runs in a different crowd. I didn’t recognize him before tryouts.” He paused, but they were all still looking at him. “Are you sure you even want to know?”

“Yes, Jonah, just tell us! We want to know who made your Dumb Bi Self literally sign up for a play.” Marty insisted. He looked to the other two, and they nodded in agreement. Sighing, he told them. “Cyrus Goodman. His name is Cyrus Goodman.”

Iris looked over to Amber to see if she recognized the name, but neither of them did. Marty didn’t seem to know him either. “You’re going to have to get a picture of this guy or something, cause I have no idea who that is.”

“I can’t just take a picture of him… but I’ll see what I can do.”

The past week had been filled with stress, uncertainty, and multiple daydreams, all about one thing; this stupid play. It was a relief for him to finally be walking towards the casting list. He was curious to see if he had gotten in or not; he obviously didn’t expect it, he was just cautiously optimistic.

“What even is the play about, anyways?”

“It’s a romance play. It centers around one city, and has multiple stories about different romances and stuff.” He laughed as Amber’s eyes went wide. “No wonder you signed up for the play! You want to be paired up with him.”

“Uh, no. That’s too chaotic for me. I’d rather get to know him as a fellow actor, not as someone I’d have to fall in love with.” Thinking about it, though, it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world. Walking into the theatre, he saw a group of people surrounding an area that he assumed contained the cast list.

They walked down to the group of people, and as they pushed their way through, he had to admit to himself he was nervous. What was he thinking, auditioning for a play? He’s literally never acted before. He took a deep breath, and promised himself that if he didn’t get in, he wouldn’t be disappointed.

He started to read through the list of people, and his breath hitched when he read:

Carrie Fisherman: Terri Miller

Tyrone Johnson: Alex Torres

Jonah Beck: Jake Thompson

Cyrus Goodman: Peter Murphy

Chris Lewis: Richard Kelly

Sadie Baker: Camrie Scott

He was suddenly really looking forward to rehearsal.

It was the day after he had his first rehearsal with Cyrus, and he had refused to tell Amber anything until they were alone. As soon as they walked into her room, Amber exclaimed “Okay, tell me everything.” He sat down on the floor next to her bed, and looked up at her. “There’s nothing much to tell, I haven’t even read the script yet. We pretty much just went over the schedule and expectations and stuff.”

Sitting down next to him, she crossed her arms and frowned. “Come on, you have to tell me something. Did you see him at all? Did he talk to you? What did he say? Was he uncomfortable at all?”

“No, he actually seemed kinda cool about it. He gave me his number.” Her eyes widened. “He did!? Are you serious? Did you give yours to him? You need to wait to see if he texts you first. That way, we can see if he’s into you.”

“No, I don’t have his number yet, so I couldn’t ask for it even if I wanted to. It’s really not a huge deal, everyone else was swapping numbers anyways.” She looked somewhat disappointed, but she still remained hopeful. “You never know, Jonah, you never know. He could be dying to get to know you.”

“I really doubt that, but okay.” As they continued to talk, the beginning of their conversation burned in the back of his mind. He seriously doubted it, but maybe something would come out of the play. Maybe.

7:15

Unknown number: Hey! This is Cyrus, from the play.

Jonah’s heart sped up. He debated texting Amber first, but he decided to wait. Curling up in bed, he answered back.

7:17

Jonah: Hi!

Cyrus: I was wondering, do you maybe want to come over to my house this weekend? To read over the script.

He nearly screamed out loud, but he stopped himself. He wants me. To come over to his house. Oh my god.

7:18

Jonah: Yeah, sure! I’m good whenever

Cyrus: Great!

Cyrus: I don’t know if you’ve gone through the script yet

Cyrus: I just wanted to let you know that there’s a kiss

Cyrus: Are you okay with that?

Jonah threw his phone down, and jumped out of bed. No way. No freaking way. He was going to kiss Cyrus. He was going to kiss Cyrus. And Cyrus was checking to make sure that was okay.

He had no idea what to say. Obviously he was going to tell him he was fine with it, but what else? He couldn’t say that it wasn’t a big deal. It was definitely a big deal.

7:22

Jonah: Yeah, I’m fine with that

Jonah: Are you?

Cyrus: Yeah, I’m cool.

Jonah: Cool.

7:31

Cyrus: So are you okay with coming over on friday?

Cyrus: After school?

Cyrus: We can practice

Cyrus: Or something

Jonah: Practice kissing?

Cyrus: yeah

Cyrus: if you want

Was Cyrus indirectly asking him if he wanted to kiss him?

7:32

Jonah: sure, I guess it’ll be weird if it's in front of everyone else for the first time

Cyrus: Yeah

Cyrus: I’ll see you after school tomorrow :)

Jonah: see you then :0

*read*

7:43

Jonah: Cyrus Goodman just asked me over to his house.

Amber: Oh my god.

Jonah: To practice kissing him.

Amber: OH MY GOD.

“So, do you want to start reading over the script?” Jonah had been at Cyrus’s house for a few minutes, and they were in his room. They had been getting to know each other a little, but he seemed eager to get to acting. “Yeah, sure.” Jonah grabbed his script, and flipped to the beginning of their scene. It was one of the shorter ones, but it was still a lot nonetheless.

They started to act out the scene, going back and forth. Jonah could tell that he was an experienced actor, from his facial expressions to the way he talked. He slipped into the character so well; he could tell he had practiced previously. Jonah could tell he wasn’t as good, but that wasn’t stopping him from trying.

When they got to the kissing scene, Cyrus stood up, and Jonah followed. His heart was pounding, but he tried not to let his nervousness show. “I guess we just kiss?”

“Uh, yeah.” he set his book down, and stepped in front of him. Cyrus was slightly taller than him; it was only really noticeable when they were standing close to each other. He reached up and put his arms around his neck, bringing them even closer.

They stood there for a moment, waiting for the other to make the first move; lips so close yet so far away. Jonah was fed up with waiting, so he leaned up, and kissed him.

There was this feeling inside of him that was foreign; it spread from his core to his head, consuming him. He felt arms close around his waist, securing his place next to him, which just made him want to kiss him more.

The kiss lasted much longer than what was required for the show. By the time they pulled away, they were slightly out of breath. “So, um, that was good.”

“Yeah. Yeah, it was.” Jonah stared at him, which made Cyrus blush noticeably harder. “I don’t think we’re going to have any trouble convincing the crowd that we like each other.” He laughed. “Yeah, definitely not.”

Suddenly, his phone buzzed from his back pocket. Reading the text, he said “My dad wants me to head home, I have to watch my little sister. But I’ll… call you?” Cyrus nodded. “You should. I’ll see you at rehearsal?”

“See you at rehearsal.”

HannibalCon RDC3 - day 1. Personal recap

So yesterday was the day that so many of us feverishly anticipated and dreaded :), the actual possibility of meeting Bryan Fuller, Hugh Dancy, Aaron Abrams, Scott Thompson, Demore Barnes and Ellen Muth! I mean. What -are- the chances? I flew over Friday morning (having dreaded flying in that storm but it did die down that night, fortunately) with Alex and we made our way over to arrive at 10 am, to photos of other Fannibals on Twitter already, though the hotel was still very much empty. Good to take photographs :) I got upgraded to the next room level (which is why I can now drink coffee while writing this at 5:30 am (thank goodness)). By afternoon the lobby was filling slowly, flowercrowns everywhere. A truly elevating atmosphere, because even though I'm not really a flowers and frilly stuff kind of gal, it just is incredible to watch. Btw the bloody flowercrown @idontfindyouthatinteresting made for me drew many compliments (thank you, again!) Registration openend a bit early and people went queuing until the main ceremony started. Incredible, there were soooo many people there, so many beautiful cosplays already. @lovecrimecat came by and we distributed the flyers for @radiance-anthology flyers to those standing in line, managed to meet so many of those who signed up (yay), got little gifts in exchange from so many people (and everybody just gave me a second one when I asked so I could give them to Katrina who couldn't come - so awesome of you guys, thank you again!). I met so many people 'from' Twitter and it' so nice to recognize some from last time, to put name and face to the @s. *hugs at all* Opening ceremony. I have a gold ticket this year so I went up front and sat next to SpiceyScorpion, only to realize that -that- was way to much in front for my nerves .... *rolls eyes at self*. I went a few rows back and to the side, which was a good decision for later^^. "They" came in a few minutes to late, we saw Aaron and Scott do shadow theatre behind the scenes and Sean called them out one after the other. Demore seemed honestly happy to be there, addressing us with such kind words, upping the applause and calling backstage that that could not possibly be topped*fg*. Aaron came out and asked us to clap for Hugh because he was supposedly afraid he wouldn't get any ^^^^^, Scott said something along these lines as well, I think. Both very funny. Ellen was there^^ and addressed us with a few kind ords and then Sean announced Bryan next and the room (not in any way quiet before) went -wild-. And Bryan.... Bryan went "crowdsurfing". Meaning he ran through the aisles and high-fived us. You know that sitting to the side decision? Yeah.... What a moment, there's lots of pictures in the Tag #HannibalCon, go and look, it was.... incredible. God bless. Anyway Hugh came out last, announced by Sean as one of the best british actors, and boy, that was applause^^. He seemed a bit overwhelmed with the energy there^^ and honestly, I can't quite remember what he actually said but it was something along the lines that he was looking forward to a wonderful weekend. They came out together after that and we held up the signs that @the-winnowing-wind distributed - "Fannibals Forever".... They took videos and photos of us. Bryan posted some of it later. Incredible moment to have been part of. I'm even in Bryans video (yay^^ (and if you know where to look^^)). The gold ticket holders went across the hall next, to a slightly smaller room with tables set up and we were seated by group/friends. And then we waited, because they got something to eat first.... (darn^^^). Colleen got out some booze and we talked a lot and proverbially bit our nails a lot *g*. When they finally got in they were sent to the various tables for 4-minute-meet-ups. Only the meet-ups didn't stay at 4 minutes :P. Demore was first and I was soooooo nervous. (The seat next to me was free btw, and so the -all- ended up sitting right next to me (*still screaming about that*. .... ) I shook my hands in the air in an effort to get rid of some of the energy and he put his hand on my shoulder asking me why I was nervous and I brabbled something unintelligible and shook my head. Very sweet. We talked a bit about his fight scene with Mads and that we would have liked to see more of him^^ and I told him I can't wait to see him in American Gods and he rubbed my back when he left. *float* Next was Scott, who brought his pizza and drank some mooneshine with us^^, played Tarot with us and was generally just this very kind and interesting person. I wasn't -quite- that nervous anymore by then (thanks Demore (and Colleen for the prosecco)), meaning I actually talked a bit, though I can't quite remember what^^. Ellen was next and she was also very nice, we talked about the fact that her scenes are imho some of the most scary in Hannibal. She also wore some of the coolest jeans I'd ever seen^^. Ok. Next? BRYAN. He saw the Will!Faun scarf of @flying-rotten we had put on the table cloth and chuckled that he knew who -we- are waiting for and that he couldn't blame us^^. He asked us, if push came to shove, if we would prefer Will & Hannibal S4 or SotL. Our table was Hannigram, though there was apparently one that was 'done' with it.... He told us about it a bit, much the same that Hugh has said before as well, that it would be an inversion of S1 etc. I.... hope that push does not come to shove, because he told us a bit about how much he loves the lyric of Thomas Harris books and I would really love for him to be able to fully lay out his vision. I hope he gets to do this (we have to continue to fight, guys!!!). He also told us, that Thomas Harris apparently writes a new book and he.... poked Martha to get the rights to it already, without quite knowing what it was about yet *g*. I.... took all my courage then and showed him one of the Radiance-Flyers and explained a bit and we asked if he wanted to do a little something like a foreword for it. And guys - HE DOES! He asked when it would need to be done and I said May 1st and he looked at the flyer and indicated the twitter @ there and asked if he should send it there and I was like (you know this situation, where, once you start, your mouth kind of runs away with you?! At least mine did^^^) "Oh well, yes, or you know you follow me on twitter, you can just send it there if you want" and he looked at me (directly) and said "yes, I know." Well, RIP me. I answered with a very intelligent "ah" if I recall correctly and ducked my head and then Romina and I emphasized that it would be awesome if he actually wants to do that and finds the time. He asked us after what drew us to Hannibal, as he got feedback from a lot of the other young women (I thanked him for 'young', you know, once you're in it doesn't matter anyhow *another eye roll at self*) and we said that its not only beauty and connection, but also intelligence. You have to think with Hannibal. He recommended 'Legion' to us and asked if we'd seen it before and I said that some stuff hasn't made it across the big pond yet. And then Bryan went and .... not ranted directly.... but expressed his lack of understanding of the fact that things take so long to be legal and why series were not streamed worldwide because people would just go and pirate it anyway -because- it was not available legally. He went and made a (imho) very fitting anology with the conservative stance on abortions in contrast to piracy, meaning just because it's forbidden it doesn't stop people from doing so, it just gets unsafer and illegal. Oh and he took photos of our table and @dr3piecesuit s and another girls tattoo, because he loves them. :) And he told us that he brought something for Hugh to wear for the Cosplay contest. Can't wait *g* He was called away then, way past the 4 minutes^^ and .... he is such a precious human being?! Exuding so much warmth and honesty and exuberance. I feel honored that I got to sit there. A propos honored... Hugh was next and there I was again - nervous. Awesome. *third eyeroll* He complimented Camilles Will!Faun, saying it was very beautiful and then laughing that that was maybe a bit weird^^, and then telling us about all the gifts he gets and that he keeps the little plush Wills, giving them to his son to play with, even the bloody ones..... *fg*. The girl next to me (@OnTheVerger) talked to him about how much Adam means to her because she has Aspergers and then broke into tears and Hugh comforted and hugged her and it was sooo sweet. We showed him the Radiance flyers as well and he said "blood fueled embraces, indeed" *g*. Bryan ran by then and left a bitten off Babybel for Hugh. IDK if Hugh bit off that piece or if Bryan did but it was hilarious^^. Hugh had to leave then and Aaron came to our table last, I told him I backed him and he told us about the film he and Scott are in (Scott came by and set down next to him^^) and we talked about how much we would all want to see more of Hannibal. Oh and Scott said (before) that he was supposed to teach Clarice Starling - how awesome would team Sassy Science be doing that in SotL? Seriously? Anyway, I remember I touched Aarons shoulder in the spur of the moment talking about -something- but I can't remember what exactly and the panicking about that. ;)) I went to my room at 1:15am, got into bed by 2am and was wide awake again at 5:15 am. What. a. rush. PS: This is no photos because my cameras not that good - check the Hashtag on Twitter, there's TONS of them ;). Already ;)

Power Rankings, Week 10

Gonna just get right into it, ngl one of the harder parts of this is the little monologue at the beginning so fuck it

Exodia

1. Fournette About it (Jack “Costco Champion” Cleek) (8-2) (LR:2)

I’m unbelievably happy I can not write some bullshit about how Anthony keeps getting lucky and undefeated now that your team is just clearly better than his. It’s terrifying how there isn’t a weak spot in the lineup. Your two worst starters would be no brainer starters for my team. You made a really good trade, drafted literally better than anyone, and picked up the right people at the right time. Going forward I don’t think anyone even touches you, congrats on making the playoffs buddy. I’m sincerely hoping that Minnesota’s defense holds up against Gurley, and that the Case Keenum revenge game ALL goes to Thielen and McKingod.

The 1-2 since the last publication of these, maybe I should stop writing them tier

2. Scott’s Balls (Anthony “Did you ever find the Bell funko this weekend?” Mendola) (8-2) (LR: 1)

Feast your eyes on a REAL win streak, you small, insignificant compared to Jack Cleek ass bitch.

I’ll start writing for real things about your team starting next time, but oh man does it feel good to not have to keep the undefeated thing going.

(Also, peep that week 14 game against Dyl. I will bring it up every chance I can.)

The Cream of the Crap Tier

3. Mixon It Up (Alec “I’ve defended Alec’s team since day 1 ask beshoy i have stayed ten toes d-o-w-n for my guy alec except for when he made the trade but its cool since it worked out” Bernstein) (5-5) (LR: 7)

This is a Island of misfit toys, 04 Detroit Pistons situation, because you don’t have a bad player but you only really have one transcendent guy too? Wilson, quietly, has snuck up to QB1, and Graham is reaping all the rewards. Thielen is strangely SUPER reliable, and the rest of the squad is just random stuff that seems to work out for you. I wouldn’t trade for a single one of them, but I also like every single one. It makes zero sense. Your ceiling isn’t that high, but you might be able to ride your floor of 95 all the way to a title.

4. Green Evans and Kam (Beshoy “ty for surviving our costco trip ily” Halim) (5-5) (LR:4)

Scary, scary ceiling if everyone performs. Horrendous floor if they don’t. Each seems as likely to happen honestly. There’s nothing wrong with depending on that, I’d rather have that than most teams, but I just feel like your entire team is now full of players that literally on a weekly basis should do better than what they actually do, which is the most frustrating thing to watch. It makes for really cool content for us because you stress and freak out so much. Anyways, this team is honestly on paper just as good as Jack or Anthony’s teams, but the stats just don’t back it up. I think you’re gonna make the playoffs on the strength of your remaining schedule, but it wouldn’t surprise me if your team threw down a 75 pointer at some point in the playoffs.

The “someone has to sneak into playoff spots to get throttled in the first round so I suppose it’s these guys” tier

5. Scott’s Penis (David “fuck weed” Chinchilla) (5-5) (LR:3)

I am terrible at letting go of guys that I believe in. I can’t quit starting the same disappointing dudes every week. I’m sort of a poor man’s Beshoy, On paper it looks okay but really it’s just a bunch of inconsistent garbage. I’m still waiting for a breakout game from literally anyone. I hate my team. My one star, my knight in shining armor, the man with the key to my heart is:

6. i can’t take it anymore (Dylan “#coreydavishive” Jessop) (4-6) (LR:6)

If I’m a poor man’s Beshoy, then you’re a poor man’s Alec. (this had to hurt to read and i’m so sorry). You’re good at the same spots (TE, QB) bad at the same spot (RB) and respectable at the other spot (WR). You proved last week that you can put up points, 110 is a pretty decent ceiling, I just don’t know if you get it again. Relying on Belitricks and Eli THAT much might be problematic. If Demarco can finally be good for the last few weeks, you’ve got a real chance at making the playoffs, but you also really really need Crabtree to figure it out again.

7. Perriman4MVP (Alex “I kinda forgot about your team till now but I also don’t think this is an egregious ranking” Ahn) (6-4) (LR:5)

The injuries really hurt you man. I’m so sorry. At this point, the only players with any bite on your team are Stafford, Tyreek’s random nuts, Kelce, and the Ravens D/Tucker. That alone might get you a floor of like 70, but my GOD does it get ugly after that. Collins isn’t as good as we thought he’d be fantasy wise, and you had to give away Hopkins for parts out of complete necessity (sidebar, I think Robby Anderson is REALLY good, but his schedule is SO bad). I doubt you miss the playoffs since you got to 6 wins relatively early, but I think you’re looking at a pretty early exit unless some guys break out or injuries happen.

The Dark Horse/Trust the Process Tier

8. Hammer (Tony “hanging on by a thread” Mendola) (3-7) (LR:9)

Even if you were 4-6 I’d have SO much faith, but 7 losses means you’re hoping for other results at this point and you can’t lose out. Anthony has a chance to Kylo Ren your ass this week, and I think he does just that. Thompson hasn’t kept it up, Rawls isn’t even a dart for me at this point, and Fitzgerald/Brady isn’t gonna win you the week. JuJu is a really nice add but it might be in vain, McCaffrey having a game this week would REALLY help. I think this is the week we fade you, but you’ve pulled stuff out of your ass before.

9. Scott’s Jizz (Scott “would be 5-5 possibly 6-4 if he hadn’t made the Kelce/Thomas trade” Felgenhauer) (4-6) (LR:8)

Week 9 is your biggest regret. Had you kept Kelce, you would’ve won that week AND faded Tony by now. I dunno man, at this point you literally GAVE Kelce and Thomas away, I don’t even know how bad alex’s team would be without that. I’m still upset that it went through, but you have 3 weeks against pretty damn good teams coming up, so we’ll see how it all turns out.

The “I jynxed you by ranking you 1 preseason” Tier

10. drizzy on the comedown (Chris “I’m sorry man” Gatzow) (2-8) (LR:10)

What’s honestly insane is that you drafted almost every single underachiever. The saints are somehow all of a sudden the most devastating ground and pound team in the league, killing Brees. Julio got murdert by Matt Ryan. Baldwin/Howard were loyal, if unspectacular, soldiers. Delanie Walker was JUST good enough to keep starting, but probably not worth doing so. I’m just sorry man. It’s been a combination of bad luck and underperforming players.
