#mad love comic issue

[jelly-drop-buttons]

Still going crazy over the fact that Bill would start getting emotional enough to cry if he were to experience intimacy with someone and make eye contact with the person in question. Like… GRAARAAARAAAHHH!!!

I wanna kiss him and hold him tight and watch the tears flow from his eyes as he finally feels the touch of a woman-

Okay, Batman: City of Madness is GREAT so far, and not just because the writer understands one of the most fundamental aspects of Bruce's personality - he is a deeply annoying person to team up with. Absolutely unbearable. Court of Owls Dude back there is already regretting this alliance.

Deacon loves two things: Ymber and digging himself a grave.

Fulj hates one thing: Deacon.

#my characters #waiting on some info on the next commission so i indulged in ocs today bc i doubt i will have as much time for lil comics for a bit #deacon is so devoted hes like yeah i would kill for a deity that could easily kill anything himself but yknow teehee #and fulj just did you tell him you needed therapy also does he even know youd murder in his name #deacon caught red handed haha no of course i havent told him it should be obvious enough haha.... and its in his defense not his name :c #man really does have some issues but i love him so much and hes so devoted but like. unhealthily after a while #he does in fact need a chill pill and therapy but to be fair #ymber has needed therapy for centuries and yet he just bottles it all up and suffers so #its pretty unhealthy until they yell at each other one (1) time bc they are so insecure about things and get mad over very valid reasons #but then theyre like you know what that was necessary and i still want to stay by your side if you let me #and then fulj is like dude hey sorry you seem really happy did you fu- and ymber is like no please stop there we have not #fulj just squinting cause have not is very different than will not but whatever she doesnt wanna think about that with deacon involved ew #and eventually fulj is like hey ymber im sorry to say but i really do hate deacon and i dont even know why but he makes me uncomfortable #while deacon is just. in the room. hearing this and thinking how he knows she thinks hes weird but wow that wording hurts #and ymber doesnt wanna fill in memories better forgotten by fulj which she had forcefully removed #so he just says oh well his hair and clothing are black and you had someone in the past that you might see in him and its not a pleasant en #so you know maybe its that idk #and fulj is then WHATST i was rude to him for someone i cant even remember? lame im gonna try SO HARD to be nice to him now #and deacon just still sitting there with some food like this is v awkward and i wish i could not be here for it #and later he asks ymber about who he resembled and as ymber is descibing her it clicks in deacons head and he gets really sad #that he might somehow remind fulj of the woman she loved before she was punished for loving a mortal #and he feels kinda bad pestering her so much with his curiosities about deities and he kinda gets it #the fact hes close to ymber might remind her at the core that she was once that close with a mortal if not closer #anyway story time in the tags again #im so obsessed with these peeps and i have made them suffer so much but they do all end on a happy note #its still funny and nice to me that while fulj is creeped out by deacon and doesnt like talking to him #he still expresses the most emotions to her - he tries hard to remain serious around ymber and collected and obedient at all times #and when out and about with ymber he has to be intimidating and refuses smiling but fulj?? all sunshine and smiles and emotions easy to rea #and she is just that is so weird go away i hate you

I recently met Jennika in the idw comics and now i have Family Web thoughts.

(i had said a while ago that i probably wouldn't add Jennika or Venus until i knew more about them. Well here we are. for jennika at least. Still haven't met Venus (if she's even in the idw comics. everyone else is so i kinda expect to see her at some point) but i have a way of adding her in as well, which i might do regardless.)

I'm not sure i have words enough today to explain my entire thought process on Jennika here, but i'm going to certainly try. under the cut b/c it might end up rambling

Jennika is the turtles' bio little sister born months after their disappearance. I'm not sure if Lou knew about her before everything went down (i'm thinking not since i'd imagine it was fairly new news to even Mama and she just didn't have the time to tell him.)

Her Spider traits are visibly subtle unless she is actively showing them off. Her eyes are red (and can be entirely red w/ a bit of a glow like mama's spider eyes) and her teeth are pointed. She can also stick to surfaces (which she does a lot) and she might do webs like mikey (i'm still debating that one.)

Jennika grew up fairly isolated b/c Mama already lost her other four and she didn't want to risk loosing Jennika as well. She had tutors for everything. She excels in dance class and when she showed interest in martial arts, she was given a teach and excelled in that too.

She idolizes her mother and, having grown up being told about her older brothers (and promises that they would be reunited one day) she idolizes them as well. Well, she idolizes the versions of them she's mentally imagined over the last 12 years. So meeting them in person would be a bit of a shock since she was expecting four perfect brothers and, instead, got four goobers who think that even frozen pizza is a delicacy.

She can already use her mystics pretty reliably (via a mystic conduit like the boys' weapons). Hers is basically just shadow clones that she can (maybe) mystically switch places with when needed.

She usually hangs out on the ceiling of mama's office when she's not in classes. But, once she turned 13, was finally able to convince Mama to let her help a little more directly. Since then she has posing as Mama's assistant (though mama insists that she must use a clone if the task is anything other than standing next to Mama. Jennika doesn't always listen to this rule.)

I might have more, but i can't think of it right now. so just enjoy some concept art for the turtle's little sister, i guess.

#tmnt #rottmnt #family web au #my doodles #canon? idk #we shall see #might be my friday update #idk #ive got to stop adding characters to established aus #but a little sister! #and i fking love idw jennika already #even though i've only had her for a few issues #(i've read all the idw comics i have and am forced to wait until i have money so i can buy more) #(yes i know there's ways of reading them for free) #(but if i can't read them in release order i will go mad) #(easiest way for me is to buy the books)

I genuinely want Peter to have like a story that’s all about him healing as an adult. Not completely, that would take forever but like finding someone he can feel normal with, a desire he constantly complains about in almost every iteration. Someone who he can do normal things with that is also helpful if not supportive of his life as Spidey (You can tell I really liked Chat)

He wants a life he can truly live and it would be nice to have an issue have that as a subplot. Whatever Spider-Man is doing is completely separate from what Peter has going on. His partner, friend, whatever, gets he practically has two separate lives and is truly patient. They would wait for him after a scouting or fight. Be okay with less lavish planned dates and get he is going to miss things. They signed up for this when dating a hero and they understand it.

Peter deserves for once to have someone consistently and overwhelmingly be in his corner. To be ready to sacrifice like him but at the same time remind him that he is Peter before he is Spider-Man, not only for them but for himself. 

#i could write a better love interest #cause yeah I'd keep it real #theyd have issues with him being spider-man but its more about the damage it does to peter emotionally as its like being mad #your firefighter lover runs into burning buildings like why date a firefighter then bitch #peter parker #spider-man #spiderman #i need him to actually have a lois lane or like alfred but less father figure and more dadyy figure if you catch my drift #marvel comics #spiderverse #sorry im in a soft romance mood and just want ot imagine peter for the first time feeling like he isnt gonna lose someone for being spidey #like coming home and worrying they are gonna be pissed he missed the date only to be surprised with a movie night and them wanting to know #how his night was let him have normalcy for once just for a but #not because of luck but because someone works with the effort he puts in

i cannot believe i havent talked about how much I hate this my jaw DROPPED when I read it and I almost didn't finish the run 😭 women proposing to men gives me the heebie jeebies Bad. because it's always a hail mary to try and save the relationship but it Never Works!!!

look @ the reasons iris gives - it's like she's annoyed that she has to ask. these r not good foundations for a marriage!

i understand wanting them married again but since marriage has shifted from being about money - which it would have been in the silver age when iris + barry were first married - to love + legality, there's less incentive for women to be married. especially a career oriented woman like iris.

if her reasonings were something like i need financial security (barry is maybe loaded now??) or taxes or power of attorney i would understand. but marriage will not fix communication issues. and let's be very real statistically marriage does not benefit women. it kills them.

does iris have friends?? if one of my friends said that they were planning this it would be an emergency situation. im talking 51/50 (not really because I don't trust hospitals but u get it)

anyone would have told her that this was a bad idea (not that she would listen) linda would Love to talk about this with her! where are the girls mayday mayday diva down!!

and then when barry says yes im supposed to be happy for them..... free iris...... and barry tbh. free them from the shackles of heteronormativity!

and barry's face here pisses me off so bad HOWWWW is that your reaction

and i wanna know what's in the box. it has to be HER engagement ring right? men normally don't wear one but id be down if she had one for him.

im just lucky they didnt have her get down on one knee I would've been in jeremy adams mentions. i don't think he understands how the interactions he writes between women and their partners are being perceived (see also: hal carol and nathan)

anyway this is from flash 2016 #790

#i started reading the flash with OMW and almost stopped because of this like ain't no way #PLSSS i almost made a tik tok about this I was so mad #i SWEAR i posted about this before #i really went off and i could keep going #the fact that ur kids have kids is not a good reason to get married or have children #leave wallylinda out of it! #jeremy adams does not understand women or relationships #meta #aiyonna reads comics #panel posting #this is weird and antiquated is my point I think #me putting way more thought into this than jeremy adams #the thing is there is a throughline of iris being frustrated with barry why and how does that end in a proposal from HER #explain to me how getting the government involved would improve the situation #anyway i love a wedding issue #if we ever get there #me ranting about gender norms #one minute war is one of my favorite flash stories despite this #n yeah this is getting character tags #barry allen #iris west #i just feel like ur partner shouldnt have to die and come back for u to marry them #i had to get this off my chest #bitches get high and write character analysis (im bitches)

I care them so much. Fuck you Call of Duty these are my oc's now <3 Soooo this is very much based on @azraeldreki's fanfic, but the scenario is of my own invention 😆 I imagine it'd happen sometime after chapter 3, but before the events of chapter 8. What can I say? I like some cute characters doing some silly banter :3

#call of duty mw2 #mw2 #*gives self insert oc a sensory issue I have* omg they just like me for real for real #also they aren't mad in this comic #just perpetually grumpy cuz of the hair problem lol #“why are the characters always in short sleeved shirts?” I hear you ask #“They're in russia they should dress warm” you say #“hgg seggsy” I respond like a genius #digital art #mini comic #self insert #can you tell that I love doing character based comics? it's kinda my thing #but also I can never commit to 100% art power on a fan-comic so u get mini comics #beepbeepart

Bruce Wayne’s training as a (mad) scientist: Secret Origins (1986) #6, Detective Comics (1937) #32, Detective Comics (2016) #998

#bruce wayne #silas stone #i did love that the mythology storyline tomasi did highlighted bruce's science training... very cute return to form #i feel like that gets left to the wayside a lot in modern comics because bruce has to be The Bestest Martial Artist Ever #because eventually he became a ninja instead of. like. charles atlas #so really there's no time in his backstory for a university education #and in fact in the current continuity did not even finish high school #which! don't get me wrong. i love bruce being a high school dropout. i think that's fun #but he does so much reverse engineering mad science to deal with his villains #that he NEEDS to have a background in it from his training days #anyway the second panel is from bruce's First Ever Origin so that's how old this characterization is #weird to think about how he existed as a character for several issues before bob kane figured out an origin for him

The Incredible Hulk (1968) #229

#ok I love that right after all that the Hulk still instinctively pushes Samson out of the way of danger #but then he of course gets mad at Samson when he tries to help the Hulk out of the rubble #and Samson straight up lying to the press is funny like #he’s just covering up what is as far as he knows the Hulk going beserk and attacking an innocent woman for no reason #and so misleading the public about the dangers of the Hulk #that said I as a reader and Hulk fan appreciate him publicly declaring that ‘the Hulk can become a valuable member of society!’ #though I have to point at the absurdity of Samson just going #‘what’s with the General anyway? maybe I should check him over’ #like yeah the General’s got issues but why is Samson trying to be everyone’s therapist #marvel #bruce banner #leonard samson #jim wilson #thunderbolt ross #my posts #comic panels

reading snakewife's hazards of love its doing something to me guys. really really enjoying it

#nightstalking.mov #its always the evil shadow deer men with me. and hes a mad scientist? and thats not even the biggest plot point? im there #i found the first volume in the library down the street and i read it all in an hour and now i have to read the rest online #it was in an aisle-end section just titled “queer” I LOVE IT WHEN THEY MARKET SHIT LIKE THAT BECAUSE ITS LIKE #YES THE PROTAGONIST OF HAZARDS OF LOVE IS A NONBINARY LESBIAN. THAT IS NOT REALLY THAT RELEVANT SO FAR. THATS JUST HOW THEY ARE #there are more pressing issues that they need to handle. like the monsters that want to eat them. its a good comic so far i like it

[damianwaynerocks]

yes, i want to see dick grayson get angry because he deserves to get angry and express that anger but also i think it's really cool and realistic that we always see him push it down.

dick lost his parents when he was 9 or 12, depending on the comic you read. there's a ton of research out there that shows that losing one of/both of your parents at a young age can cause abandonment issues. like, serious abandonment issues. sure, they didn't leave by choice, but it doesn't change the fact that the two most important people still left you alone. and yeah, he had bruce, but as much as bruce tried, he wasn't a parent.

so dick, realistically, would have abandonment issues. and there's also a lot of research that shows that sometimes- not all the time, but sometimes -people with grief-related abandonment issues are terrified of showing their anger because that means people might leave them. ya know, people pleasing. and this happened! several times! anytime we see dick get mad/make people mad, they treat him terribly. even if he was justified, even if it wasn't his fault (like bruce making his siblings think he was dead). dick is shown over and over that if he gets mad, the people he loves will treat him badly or leave him.

and i know comics aren't realistic, especially batfamily ones. not at all. but i think it's kind of cool that even if it's an accident, dick grayson forcing himself to push down his anger is really realistic for someone with grief-related abandonment issues and idk man it's sad and a tragedy and i eat it up when characters behave in ways that readers can trace back to their trauma

Dick Grayson's talent for manipulation literally brings the world to its knees.

Part 1 post

My absolute favorite trait about Dick aside from his craziness is his ability to control every single person in existence. The best part is, he's so clever in the way that he does it that people almost never notice.

Bart Allen

"Oh! Ahh..you're trying to get my DNA sample. You need my spit! Ha! That's such a Dick Grayson thing to do."

Bart knows!! Dick's brilliantly sly okay. Honey catches more flies that vinegar? He takes it so far that breaks he the ceiling with it because by the time he's done, people don't even know they've been manipulated. And if they do, then what can they do about it? He always wins.

With friends and family he does it to make them feel better without being so overt and discomforting them.

Justice League: Road to Dark Crisis

Jon came to him when he was feeling lost and upset and Dick set up the perfect conditions to encourage him and pick him up. He's just so good at doing what he's doing but he does it for all the right reasons.

But the extent Dick can go trick and manipulate someone is off the charts. A virtuoso.

In a Titans comic, Dick literally spent MONTHS acting depressed and weak after Donna, Wally, and Garth were kidnapped to another dimension by a villain just so he could trick the villain into thinking that his career was over and bring him into the same dimension so Dick could take him down.

He fooled everyone.

Teen Titans: The Silver Age TBP 2 Part #1

"Batman taught me how to be a totally convincing actor! So if the only way you could send me here with your ring was if I filled my brain with evil thoughts, I just faked it! My facial expression was pure evil-but my mind remained pure good." MONTHS.

He planned, pretended, and calculated every single fiber of his own mind and body until the whole world was fooled by his acting. He tricked an interdimensional being who had psychic access. That means he was so extraordinarily manipulative, he can control his own thoughts inside his head to trick someone else. Voldemort's legilimens has nothing on Dick's talent.

Like Bart, sometimes his allies are aware of this like with Selina-

Gotham City Sirens Issue #23

Selina's literally having a mental breakdown trying not to fall for Dick's manipulation and tricks.

But even if they know he's manipulating them, they still are forced to fall for it anyway.

Gotham City Sirens Issue #23

"Damn it."

Like a goldilocks mad scientist - he does it just right.

His acting is just so on point that he outschemes the schemer.

When the Crime Syndicate (Superwoman, Ultraman, Owlman, Power ring, etc) arrive on Earth to take it over when Dick is Batman, Dick needs to do something fast. But to make things worse, there's a being that's so powerful, that both the Crime Syndicate and Justice League combined have a snowball's chance in hell of defeating him.

So what does Dick do? He runs the game.

Justice League of America (2006) Issue #52

Justice League of America (2006) Issue #52

"Of course he had a plan the whole time. He's Batman. He always has a plan."

Justice League of America (2006) Issue #52

He tricks everyone.

Justice League of America (2006) Issue #52

And in the end, the Justice League wins and Dick saves the world.

Justice League of America (2006) Issue #52

I love how they characterized Owlman as a snake because that would make Dick a mongoose since mongoose eats snakes. And do you know what Mongoose represent in folklore? Action, adventure, boldness, fearlessness, impulsiveness, independence, optimism, rebellion, resistance, resourcefulness, speed, adaptation, agility, quickness, intelligence and wit. All characteristics that define him.

He plays the world like a chessboard, always five steps ahead.

He always has an ace hidden up his sleeve.

His thoughts are always masked behind a disarming smile.

He has mastered the art of manipulation.

And that's while he's outright fighting. His subtlety is just so seductive.

Take a look at the way he smoothly evades answering in this panel -

Grayson Issue #9

He's so smooth. She's constantly on the watch but she instantly fell head over heels for his charms in a half a heartbeat, that's just how good he is.

Grayson Issue #10

He's a master manipulator who knows exactly what to say and how to act to always end up winning.

It's seriously such a shame that one of his greatest skills and talents isn't talked about more because this man?! Flawless.

He's the spy everyone on TV wishes they could be. He's the type of spy people read about in history books and marvel at the ease, grace, and legendary story he leaves behind. He's the spy that everyone knows and dreams of in their fantasies.

Nightwing (2016)

And oh how they so are.

He can just get people to do whatever he wants.

There's a reason why Batman's only contingency plan against Nightwing is "Let's hope he fucks up." Because with his intelligence, skill, power, charisma, and raw talent - he's goddamn unstoppable.
