No, these ladies aren’t sisters, but they’ve got a lot in common (besides devilish grins). You almost feel bad for Harley Quinn sometimes. She lost her way while she was enthralled with the Joker in that definitely unhealthy love-hate relationship. Along the way she was resourceful, picking up mind games, fighting ability, and a certain unpredictable nature.

Meanwhile, Cruella Deville rose up from humble beginnings to overtake a fashion empire. Not a traditional fighter, Cruella showed that she is scrappy and isn’t afraid to take a violent turn when she feels it’s needed.

Cruella has a cane while Harley has her bat (and usually some guns, a glitter bomb, smoke bombs, and maybe a few knives). Harley wins the weapons contest, but if Cruella can throw Harley off her game, then the weapons may not matter much. Cruella would have to make it a hand-to-hand fight.

Harley is unpredictable, but Cruella is observant. She’s good at reading people. She also makes long-term plans. Harley isn’t stupid, but Cruella may outshine Harley when it comes to smarts.

Still, Harley is too agile, rough, and tough to lose. She’ll beat up Cruella, even this younger version of her.

Winner: Harley Quinn

My dad was Batman so I became a sound/music based superhero who dressed like Hatsune Miku to fight villains with him.

#Parahumans #Worm #it was in response to a meme raving about the Avengers portals scene #the Marvel Adults don't know there's a better superhero portal fight! they should know!

While I am a hard sci-fi fan at heart, there is something special about a good old “I found this big robot in a junkyard and patched it up in my garage. It’s powered by antimatter, vacuum energy, blackholes, and my dad’s ghost. I’m gonna go use it to deck Yog-Sothoth right in the kisser.”

Here's a fun one! Mr. 007 himself, James Bond, against Indiana Jones. Now, Indy is no secret agent. He's a professor and archeologist, but he has a combat background as an Officer in the U.S. Army. He's almost a professional adventurer who is a jack of all trades, really. He can shoot a gun, crack a whip, run quickly, outrun enemies in car chases, and his punch packs a wallop! This professor is no slouch when it comes to getting himself out of sticky situations. Still, James Bond is a secret agent. An actual agent who has also dealt with his fair share of compromising situations. I'd say he's at least as trained as Indiana Jones when it comes to skill. Both are quick to improvise, they're smart, and they have no problems getting into a fight if needed. I think the difference here is resources and tricks. Indiana Jones may look more unassuming, which could catch Bond off-guard, but when Bond gets a feel for the fight, he'll use his vast variety of weapons and tricks to win the fight. Winner: James Bond (sorry Indy ... it was a close call)

I am chewing on your art like a powered up Pac-man. You've made me very interested in trying out a Kamen rider show. What's a good starting point?

:D! thank you! I will never NOT be happy to get people to watch more Kamen Rider, soon everyone will be converted and my evil plan will be complete. >:)

one of the nice things about Kamen Rider is that most of the shows are standalone and (aside from things like crossover movies) don't require watching any of the others to understand. so you can kinda just pick one that sounds interesting and try it out! I have a few personal recs in this post, or you can check out the wikipedia list (under Main Series)!

after some thought, I'm also gonna like...soft-rec Fourze and Gaim, with the caveat that they are not at all the typical Rider tone (Fourze has a much more cheerful and sillier style than usual, and Gaim is a rollercoaster ride through a bizarro fruit-themed weirdoland) (this is not a negative). they're pretty divisive because of that, but I know they've been a few other people's entry points, and I liked them both personally, so! Fourze's head writer also wrote Gurren Lagann, and Gaim's wrote Madoka Magica, and their respective styles are extremely evident in both, so if you're familiar with those then take that as a plus or minus as you will. :')

#kamen rider #children's shows are serious business #AND SPEAKING OF PACMAN: there was a crossover movie where two of them teamed up to fight a giant evil pacman and it was great #(the main antagonist was a pacman-themed villain who was also an evil doctor) (his name was dr. pacman) #just gotta bring that up every chance i get because c'mon #seriously though i know rider and tokusatsu in general is not everyone's cup of tea. but i do really appreciate people giving it a chance! #it's a lot of guys in superhero suits having emotions while swinging foam swords at rubber monsters #accompanied by some of the worst cgi you've ever seen in your life #and i love every second of it

Seeking revenge has altered your ego, wouldn't you say?

#have some rare Edu content from me friends #was going for the whole superhero/alter ego for this one but it worked out that it fits both meanings quite well #i imagine both Edu and Edd are on a wanted list for all the destruction their fight caused lol #eddsworld #eddsworld eduardo #ew eduardo #eddtober #my art

I'm ngl I get raising awareness but seeing ppl draw like. cutesy fanart of their faves waving palestinian flags feels so dystopian & a little disrespectful/tone deaf. or posting about how "fave character from x show would support palestine" like. there's no problem imo w still participating in fandom while bad things happen in the world but it just gets very odd and tone deaf when we start crossing them over. like there's people dying, I really don't know that it's appropriate to bring up how glup shitto would oppose that. maybe you as your own person can do that on your own perhaps? without making it about fandom? like idk! it's just odd behavior To Me.

#like you don't need to make it about fandom...... it's just :/ #like it's different when you had smth like captain america during ww2 created by a jewish man #precisely for the purpose of representing what was going on #and taking an issue and fandomizing it #like if a palestinian made a palestinian superhero and drew comics of them fighting the idf like #that's one thing #or all the incredible art that's come out to raise awareness in general #BUT WHY DO YOU NEED IDK STEVE FROM STRANGER THINGS TO WAVE A PALESTINIAN FLAG.... ITS JUST NOT..... #it feels so insensitive to me #ofc if actual palestinians come in and tell me I'm wrong here and they love those posts #I'll glady be wrong #but it just feels so disrespectful

I swear I have read your big post regarding Peter Parker's neurodivergence and why it is best to avoid labelling him, but he definitely has a weird brain

Can't find it and feel kinda sad about it cuz I deeply related to it

i know exactly which post you're talking about and i can't find it either! i've raked through my archive, and it's just - nowhere to be seen. i think tumblr eated it (it happens.)

really, tumblr's search functionality is so so useless, i don't know what to tell you. there are plenty of keywords i can search to find it that post, but the search functionality actually just does not work!

undiagnosed audhd-addled peter parker, my darling, my light, my life, my everything.

i think peter parker's such an interesting creature to write, because a lot of people will point to a certain behaviour about him and say "this is an autistic thing, right?" but a lot of those behaviours are actually, in my head, tied to certain traumas in peter's life too.

people say "oh, the food thing, peter's a picky eater because he's autistic" and yes, absolutely. but also it's tied to his trauma with his parents.

peter gets overstimulated, and yes, it's an autism thing, but also he was bitten by a radioactive spider and his senses are dialled to 11.

it's a similar case i've found for myself, too – where a lot of friends i have kind of diagnose me because i have autistic traits, but actually - i'm hesitant to claim the label or pursue diagnosis because, actually, i know where these certain behaviours come from, and they come from certain traumas. there are events i can pinpoint in my life and say "yep. that's where this behaviour comes from."

so - i think there's a lot of overlap between trauma and autistic traits. the brain is very complex! i think the reason for that overlap is maybe as simple as the fact that people with autism and people with trauma are both doing the same thing - developing behaviours to protect themselves or soothe themselves. so - i think it's nice to be able to see a character like peter parker, who may or may not be autistic, but recognise behaviours in him and see yourself in him.

people who go undiagnosed for whatever reason - people who are really good at masking - so good, in fact, that they have no idea they might be on the spectrum - everyone and anyone at all can look at peter parker and recognise themselves. because i think we discredit the thought that every single brain does the same thing! develops certain behaviours in order to survive. every brain has that same software - we've just all been faced with different hardships that we need to overcome, and that's were all the differences come in.

autism is a spectrum, i guess - everyone falls into it to some degree. and i think events in your life probably push you along on it. but i don't know, i didn't study brain science. probably what i'm saying is very stupid and uninformed. of course there's brain chemistry involved. but i know people in my life living with autism and certain events in their life have exacerbated certain behaviours or made coping with it a lot more difficult. so maybe trauma is a catalyst.

#a lot of my traits have been exacerbated lately and i remember it was much easier for me before #and some of my friends have said “oh it's because you've been masking too long and now you're facing autistic burnout.” #and that made sense to me i think. #but then i found out about the stress thing. me overproducing stress hormone. and that's a very physical thing. #and that explains why i've been overstimulated more than usual lately. and why everything feels like too much. #and i wonder how many of these traits of mine are going to subside once i have lamar removed #and it makes me wonder a lot of things. and it's so weird how much your brain is tied to your biology. #i wonder how much i'll change. i wonder how i'll feel. i wonder if i'll still feel like me. i wonder how much me is me right now. #and how much of me is being altered by weird freaky hormones. who am i?? who will i be?? #i'm almost looking at this as like. a superhero origin story of some sort. like this is my spider-bite moment. maybe. #will i be different? will i cope with things differently?? now that my body isn't fighting something anymore?? #maybe i'll be normal. i don't know. i don't know. #i don't know what it'll mean for me. #but all of these things mean i relate to peter parker in a certain kind of way #i don't think you have to be diagnosed with autism to recognise and empathise with those traits i think #i think everyone can see themselves in peter. and i think that's the benefit of having characters that aren't diagnosed. #because there's so much overlap in the human experience. and certain feelings aren't exclusive to just one group of people. #peter has such a rich identity actually. it's an autistic thing. it's a queer thing. it's a jewish thing. it's a trauma thing. #there are so many overlapping parts of peter's identity that inform who he is and how he behaves and it's never just one thing. #it's a product of all of his things. #just like me! just like everyone. #so me? i guess i can be a million things. you can explain what i am in a million different ways. #a hundred different psychologists can all come up with different ways to explain why i be the way i be. #i don't think it's something that can be simplified. #sorry wow. i'm really going off here in the tags. #i hope people don't think i'm stupid. i don't know brain science. i'm just philosophising as usual. #sci speaks

Superhero tournaments are really just wild like. You have this kid who can make things float and this kid sweating actual nitroglycerin. There are no magic invulnerability bullets here. If floating girl gets exploded, she will be exploded just like a regular person. And her opponent is very actively trying to explode her because he expects her to be able to not get exploded. It is their first year of high school they have had so little professional training. Nurse healer lady I don’t think your powers extend to raising the dead from a burnt crisp. Crowds are cheering them both on and there are no blast shields protecting the also very explodable audience members. Who on earth thought this was a good idea.

#yes OBVIOUSLY Im talking about my hero academia XD #But really any superpowered tournament is just ridiculous #the likelihood that some kid would absolutely die #I mean did you SEE deku fighting todoroki #literal ice mountains and flame walls #this kid has had superpowers for like two months #who is regulating this who thought hey lets totally put the minkmally trained kids into matches where the margin between defeated and dead #is extremely thin #my hero academia #bnha #superheroes #humor #mha #bakugo #deku #todoroki #ochako uraraka #anime #comics #river rambles
