#i wanna make comics and shit

[biggest-gaudiest-patronuses]

got a worm nibbling my brain. can someone help me find a piece of obscure media?

webcomic/indie comic from the 2010s. basically a sci-fi short story about a young girl (with red hair?) who was being raised by scientists as part of an experiment. she receives a haircut/has her head shaved, in preparation for her annual brain scan/testing. it is revealed that while her body is human, her "brain" is artificial, made of computer implants throughout her skull and spine. at some point her biological mother (also a scientist on the same campus?) encounters her and is repulsed, viewing her as a machine who has murdered her daughter.

it was very poignant and it bruised my heart and i can NOT find it anywhere

#i thought it was made by the creator of 'O Human Star' for some reason but apparently not? #goddammit goddammit goddammit #'i don't have to write down the title of this piece of media i encountered in my formative years bc i'll always remember it' #*cut to ten years later frantic googling* #fun fact 'a.i.' is now a completely useless search term #google in general is useless #and stuff i read 3+ years ago regularly vanishes from the internet #bookmarks are not enough! if you like indie media--download that shit! buy digital/physical copies while you can #save it to the cloud back it up and organize that shit!!! #keep a list of the stuff you read (organized by date/media type and possibly with keywords if you want it to be useful longterm) #(or a spreadsheet even if you're like me and rabidly consume short stories/comics like a pack of amnesiac piranhas on a feeding frenzy) #(that stuff PILES UP over the years ok. if you wanna make sure you'll be able to find it again a decade later--curation is key) #because art WILL touch your soul and then vanish into the void leaving naught but a 404 Error in its wake #i am an old man shaking my fist at the kids on my lawn but the kids on my lawn are me and my longterm digital planning skills circa 2012

If Greygold was a companion, what would be the best way to initiate a romance with them? Would they go for the “L” word early or an Act or two later?

The "L" word was lube, right? Right? Else showering Durge/Tav with kisses Gomez-Addams-Style is the alternative.

Maybe the Nat 20 romance isn't the best way for Tav/Durge, but it sure is for Greygold. You just know Greygold scared that Dream Guardian away the first time and has been low-key obsessed with that armor since

I'm just gonna say it again real quick:

Yes!! Iron Man is a tragedy! It has and always has been since the very first appearance in 1963 which describes itself, Tony's life, and legacy, as such.

Tony causes most of his issues himself, he is his biggest villain, a majority of his rogues gallery are caricatures of the worst versions of himself brought to life (when they're not just being racist cuz...60s...). The worst thing about being Tony Stark is that he can't stop being Tony Stark (he tried!!) That is the point.

The majority of pain Tony goes through, is pain he inflicts on himself, whether intentionally or inadvertently. That is the point.

He is not A villain (at least. Not usually. There are...some rough moments and arcs that are. Not great. As there is with any character as old as he is). But he is his own main antagonist.

#I—just—*slams fists on floor*—I WANNA PUT HIM IN A PIETRI DISH AND VIOLENTLY SHAKE HIM #tony stark #iron man #616 tony stark #marvel #marvel comics #*screams cries throws up* IT'S NOT HIS FAULT HIS CHARACTER WAS ASSASSINATED IN 2005 IN A WAY THAT HASN'T BEEN RECOVERED FROM YET #***starts openly weeping*** if the next main IM series is bad it'll have been 20 years of this shit make it STOOOOOP #being his own antagonist! his actions and mental state and poor judgement calls reaonates with people!! #I'm wildly under qualified to talk about this stuff but #I feel like that's *why* people with mental health issues. self esteem issues. addiction issues. flock to him. #he is not a BAD person. he is a person. who makes mistakes. and devastates himself. and even leaves himself half dead sometimes. #who doubts himself. is simultaneously oversensitive and alarmingly oblivious. he is a mess. that is a fundamental requirement of being him #that. resonates with people. it's *relatable*. Tony Stark is a lightning rod of interest for people...like him. hurting. sad. desperate. #and he brings *enjoyment*. he brings jokes. comfort. #he brings hope #because if a guy like *that* can be *iron man*...maybe we'll all be ok too #it's solidarity but also it's a kick in the right direction. it's saying ''it's ok that this is how you feel. I'm right there with you.'' #''but you can't stay here forever. we always need to try'' #Iron Man is and always has been about the future. after all.

Okay so i know this is your askbox and everything but I want to say that i feel like the bosses would start to hate pizzahead after peppino tells them what he was planning on doing, because as far as I know they were simply hired to guard the keys and look out for peppino.

I have some very minor tweaks to this but for the most part i agree!

put under a readmore bc i dont wanna clog up any potentially Non-Exploded pt tags lmao

-Pepperman, the eccentric man that he is gets shown 1 (one) image of a fucked up drawing of peppino and hes like ‘yes yes fat little human man, got it.’ And continues sculpting as if he hadnt heard pizzahead at all. Hes the MOST startled when peppino enters his arena bc he literally forgot he had to fight him 😭 hes like WHO is this little sweaty human in my fucking ART STUDIO????!! and then immediately gets stomped.

He is definitely indifferent to pizzahead; he didnt really care about this weird man and even postgame hes like well. This sly dog led me straight to my muse so I cannot be too angry with him 🤔

-Vigilante is like ‘hmm. Never seen this man round these parts; whatd he do?’ And pizzahead is like if you need a reason; its no longer just a simple request; its a bounty. And Vigilante it like ‘well... A bountys a bounty; if he wanders into my town he aint comin back out’ and pizzahead is like great! Fantastic! Im holding you up to that 🧡

Vigilante is probably the one most angry about pizzahead. Hes not exactly lawful good but he does Not like being used as Hired Muscle. He hunts down Bad People; not a human some weirdo has a personal vendetta against. He doesnt know exactly WHAT that vendetta is but its not worth his time and its not worth getting his cheesy ass handed to by Peppino again 😭

-The Noise craves violence and destruction. Hes a little menace! He also likes money. LOTS of money. And lucky for him, Pizzahead had seemingly Infinite Funds. Funds that he used to hire the Noise; to utilize this brats WEALTH of questionable tools and contraptions in case Peppino climbed his way through the tower. The noise was like ‘ur hosting this shitshow on TV? give me a 40/60 split from whatever ur filming and you have a deal’ and he does NOT find it troubling at all that Pizzahead is so eager to accept this.

He never figures out that the recorded content was never actually hosted anywhere. He eventually tries searching it up, asking his agents to look up anything recent with his face in it but they all come up emptyhanded. When asked about a name or title or scheduled tv slot and publishing, hes a bit sheepish to admit he never asked. Thats not his job! Thats his agents job! Hes so weirded out though; Pizzahead gave him a Ton of money. Obviously not alot by the Noise’s standards but more than what most people could even remotely afford. Weird. Well he got money and Peppino doesnt try to kill him unless he ignores the restraining order placed on him so its okay ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

-Fake peppino cant really comprehend hate. But he does comprehend…distrust. A man comes up to him, gives him a picture of some human, asks him to make sure this human does NOT make it to the top of the tower- ‘nononono. Listen to me. He does NOT make it past you. Do you understand that? I am serious. If you see this man come by your sorry excuse for a shop, kill him. Maim him. Eat him; i dont care WHAT you do as long as he does Not get this fucking key.’

And Fake Peppino just nods. But hes so wary despite his dopey expression. Hes got little goosebumps prickling along the back of his neck as the man hands him the key and a picture of the human. A human that looks like him. JUST like him. In the back alley of his poorly lit pizzeria. Just like him…Hes a bit taller than the man in the picture but…just like him… just like him just like himjustlikehimjustlikehim- ‘Yeah, yeah, just like you, but listen- listen; hes messin' with My business and you gotta understand that, right? You have a business too! Whatever this…*gestures weakly* is. You would be. Sad. If someone destroyed your business. Right?’

A slow nod.

‘Exactly! See? Right on the same page! Thats why im countin on you!’

When Fake Peppino gets to see that Human Peppino has his own Pizzeria; a pizzeria that almost got destroyed (a BUSINESS just like his...) everything seems to click into place at once. Hed probably maul Pizzahead like a chimpanzee 😭 WHAMWHAMWHAM BASH THAT DOUGHY FACE IN !!!!!!! Peppino doesnt need the manpower, but its Nice to have the equivalent of a bulldog guarding his shop

#answered #chattin #long post #peppino #pepperman #vigilante #noise #fake peppino #the noise and fake peppino are kind of still in the air bc i wanna make comics for them and i havent started yet #whereas I already have an idea planned out for vigilante #anyway……….thank u for this #esp for the excuse to write some basic pizzahead interactions #helps me characterize him a bit 🤔 #in order from least angry to most pissed off w pizzahead: #pepperman-> noise ->vigilante ->fake peppino #with fake peppino literally having the equivalent of a sleeper agent code or some shit imprinted in his brain now #completely dedicated to go absolutely apeshit the second he even gets a WHIFF of pizzahead in a 250m radius #i will Not draw this bc i simply cannot think of a way to even attempt to panel this #but like during the boss rush instead of the four hits it takes to knock a boss out #fake peppino literally gets hit once and stays the fuck down #hes HURT hes never been hurt before until today and it KEEPS happening and its this weird pizza mans fault!!! #he wants to CRY !!!!! #he doesnt even think of peppino being at fault he just thinks about the man who came to his pizzeria at night #in a shady back alley with a lump sum of cash #and everything went bad after that !!!!!!!!!! #after he gets knocked back behind the rest of the bosses piled up #pizzahead is like um. this is not worth whatever youre going to do to me GOODBYE- #and fake peppino chokeslams pizzahead into Peppino to make him fight instead #hes ANGRY hes wants that fucker DEAD KILL HIM!!!! KILL HIM DEAD !!!!!!!

I hc Nina going to Nat for advice on how to win over jeff as she thinks Nat has Toby spelled or smth and nats just there like "I didn't do anything? He just won't leave me alone."

And then Toby going to jeff despite his unwillingness, to ask advice on how to make a girl happy after a fight or smth. Cause nina seems really happy with jeff. But jeff gives him the shittest advice or smth and Toby ends up in even more shit because he ignores her in attempt to play 'hard to get'

Oh my god this ask alone has brought so many silly scenarios into my head wow.

Nina would be the type to plan double dates for them but not tell anyone it’s supposed to be a double date cuz she gets embarrassed . Toby doesn’t like Jeff but this is the only time he gets buddy buddy w him because tobys the only one who realizes what’s going on. Now he’s all nervous cuz he’s on a ‘date’ w Natalie . Asked Tim how to tie a tie and Tim just told him not to wear one cuz he’ll look stupid.

It would be the dumbest dates or just random TikTok trends Nina found bc she’s an avid social media user. Force them all to have a painting picnic with her where they use the wine glasses to take out a chunk of cake.

Nat is completely oblivious to it being a double date and thinks Nina is just insanely lonely and needs friends cuz who else would hang out with her ? (Nina’s perfect .)

This would be when Toby finally realized all of Jeff’s advice was complete bullshit because now he’s observing that Nina is just out of her mind and obsessed with Jeff regardless of what he does and it obviously wasn’t gonna work with nat…

Nina would do that annoying thing where she’s like “heh… clockyyyy… let’s go on a seperate walk!!! Away from the boys!!!” Just so she can try to gossip about it and it just leaves Toby and Jeff awkwardly sitting next to eachother cuz they don’t really get along . Especially not alone .

The girls come back to Toby on top of Jeff choking him or something bc they argued about “YOUR ADVICE WAS SHIT” “ITS NOT MY FAULT SHE DOESNT WANT YOU”

Jeff calls himself a natural lady’s magnet and gets punched so hard he knocks out

#asks #hcs #I wish I could commit to making comics #a cute little ‘Nina’s adventures’ thing that follows her doing dumb shit like this and stirring up trouble #but it never affects her in the end cuz she’s so ^_^ well I enjoyed it! #ticciwork #do I wanna tag this ramble . no I don’t #chatterbox #long post

there is something so funny about people using comic panels they clearly don't know/don't remember the context around when trying to say something/make a point... like bruh...

#i do not wanna be a bitch and comment on the post. but i simply think the bruce & jason hug in rhato 2016 issue 27 is not a good example #of bruce being a good dad. because it's in the immediate aftermath of rhato 2016 issue 25. where bruce had beat the shit #out of jason (to the point that he couldn't get up on his own and walk around for 3+ weeks due to the injuries. injuries From Bruce) #and kicked him out of gotham. they only hug in issue 27 because bruce came to tell jason about roy's death in person. #there isn't *regret* for what happened two issues earlier. bruce says 'do i think you need an occasional kick in the ass? i won't deny it' #like that's... not a comic to pull from when 'Bruce should be portrayed as a good dad like this!' is the point ur making dsgfdhgf #grandpa max is god? i go to church now

Batman stands for Justice.

But Robin, Robin has stood for many things through the years.

Dick Grayson, angry and young and grieving, stood for revenge. He wanted to avenge his parents and wanted others to feel the satisfaction of getting revenge, too. Until, of course, he realised that revenge was a fools game and only caused him more hurt.

Jason Todd, alone and scared and independent, stood for change. He didn't want to be on the streets anymore, and he didn't want to have to fight for every meal. He wanted every kid he knew to be happy, wanted the alley to get better, he wanted it to change. Until, of course, Joker started killing and killing and killing, and no amount of change would ever fix that, no matter how hard Jason tried.

Tim Drake, brave and smart, and so nieve, stood for hope. Hope for Batman, hope for the previous Robin, hope for the future. He saw the good others didn't, saw the potential others ignored. He saw true hope for Gotham. Until, of course, Batman died and nobody believed him and nobody had any hope, and he realised that it didn't matter how much you hoped and wished for something, sometimes you had to do it yourself.

Stephanie Brown, misjudged and kind and overlooked, stood for honesty. Her father was a liar, a villian who cared for nothing other than himself, and she'd hated that. She hated when others lied to her, hated the secrets and the deciet. She is honest. She is true, pure. Until, of course, she realises the only way to keep herself safe is to fake her death. To lie.

#batman #robin #bruce wayne #dick grayson #jason todd #tim drake #stephanie brown #i would include damian #but i have not read enough of his comics to fully understand his character #so if you wanna add skmething for him pls pls do #does this make sense? #probably not #lol #shit talker talks

Miles like 95% of the time: i should be taken seriously way more often, i’ve been through a lot and learned a ton from these things i’ve gone through. There are times where I wanted to give up, and I did, but I came back with a better sense of self. I’ve gotten better control over my powers as well, and accepted that things won’t always work out, and how to make the best out of those situations. I’ve learned that not everything has to be black and white. Also i’ve helped save the world a few times

Miles that other 5%: (annoying orange accent) hey! hey! hey Misty Knight! hey! hey Misty Knight!

#miles is so complex and i LOVE it i’m reading him fighting with aaron rn (with the iron spider shit) and GODDDD. i need to go back and + #reread the civil war shit <3 he does NOT wanna be like you bro #but i love it when he’s making his jokes too bc sometimes he’s genuinely funny and i’m not saying this just because he’s my fav character #like he really does act his age in the 2022 comics man #but i love the 2016 stuff too . casually having these earth shattering realizations and lessons+ #and then the next few pages is him cheating on his homework #miles morales #spiderman #spider man #m&m posts
