Key lore points: Vestal 1#

> Quick question, what do you get when you take a chernobyl like accident, and make it frickin Global? Well ask the Vestals, because something like that happened to them around 6 years before the "Convergence".

> You'll see, for context, Vestal (The planet) is a highly geologically active rock, in which the vestals had to build an artificial crust with several facilities to keep it habitable. For this, there are sector Administrators that are in charge of certain facilities (Atmosphere controllers, earthquake nullifiers, etc) which are so big that you may consider them entire countries. Appart from that, there are several extraction colonies around the system that are taken with near the same importance as the facilities on the Homeworld.

> Now, Vestal Goverment works more like a Company administration, with a CEO on the top alongside a board of directors in charge of sector administration. Each one has different offices that are in charge of stuff like vestal resources, logistics, sector security, etc. And though this rigid model has worked for them at the begining, when everyone was trying to stablish an actual homeplanet, it more than falls appart on current times. Since the strict control of these resources had become less nessesary, several bussiness and companies had started to form, with demands that the Directors of each sector want to fullfill (partialy because they have a stake in said businesses)

> This colission between the interests of the sectors at Vestal fighting for more resource input, the colonies being unable to meet the demand and the people rioting for more private goods; created a tense atmosphere that prompted sabotages between these entities. But it finally exploted when a mayor failure ocurred on several key facilities that provoked massive dissasters that would be known as “The Blackout”. Several cities suffered from things like abrupt changes in gravity, to earthquakes, hurricanes and even being bathed in radiation. It is unknown yet if it was a failure on the AIs used there or if it was an intentional sabotage, but no one has been made responsible of it.

> The dissaster ended up with millions dead, as well as entire sectors of the planet left inhabitable as of today, with the rest struggling to adapt to the influx of refugees and a shortage on resources. The current High Administrator Zenoheld has done his best to stop the crisis from getting worse, but with the loss of his wife on a ship crash during the Blackout, he has become overburdened by the discussions between the directors who are fighting to see what to prioritize their resources in.

> Though six years later, a light of hope would came through in the form of cards falling from the sky, with a promise of a solution to finally recover from the crisis.

*Note one: Even though I can understand Zenoheld as the head of state that makes the important decitions like a King, I really don’t like the royal aspect on an advanced civilization like this. So by making him more like a CEO, it can still be a government centered around a main figure, but this time he Has to respond to a board that can collectively decide to depose of him if he underperforms.

*Note two: Another thing that I think it’s hard to believe is that Vestal’s overpopulation problem can’t be solved in another way.other than invading a planet… on another universe… with clearly sentient and hostile native life. So, this time the problem makes more sense, since they can’t just leave their system due to their location far from other stars. And even if they could build more city-stations around their system, people don’t want to, creating a conflict between recovering the danger zones and wanting to move the people to space, that end up in a stale situation that only creates more tension (AKA Spaaaaace Bureocracyyyyyy!)

The ONLY introduction to MBTI that you ever have to read!

I’m Kryshka0908 aka MBTI edgelord. I am NOT a certified MBTI practicactioner, but that doesn’t mean I don’t know my stuff. There are a lot of theories out there and yeah they are great and beautiful and all, but you DO NOT need to waste your time studying studying all of them and being confused ‘cause I’m gonna teach you everything you need to know about MBTI! Yes, it’s literally EVERYTHING you need to understand so LISTEN to every single thing I say and I guarantee you WILL be smarter than the majority of people in MBTI community that are spewing bullshit that doesn’t make any sense whatsoever! So grab your drink or whatever that keeps you focused and let’s get into it!!

“What is MBTI in simple words?”

Many morons assume that MBTI types are their identities.

“Oh yay! I’m an ENFP, so I’m a quirky weirdo unicorn girl that’s always dreamy! I’m basically the same person as Anna from Frozen!”

“Yeah ;) I’m an ESTP now. I’m so manly and cool. I love sports man! And I wanna smash hot chicks every single day of my frickin g life”

“I’m a calculative, evil genius INTJ! I hate everyone and everything in the world.. I love world domination, and I have not heart”

These stereotypes make me SICK!! They literally wanna make me throw the shit up okay??? People need to understand that the only thing that your MBTI types can tell you is your natural cognive processes. It does NOT who you are, not how good/unique of a person you are, what you like and dislike, your traits or statuses.

You can be an ENFP, and absolutely hate unicorns and people.

You can be an ESTP, and doesn’t have any interests in sports and sex.

You can be an INTJ, and be a humanitarian. And feel love towards someone deeply.

You know what? I’m an INTJ myself and I love Disney movies, and working out!!!

Some of you may think...

“But, but.. then MBTI edgelord must be INFP because he likes Disney. Oh wait but also he likes working out, he’s ESFP. But he’s also super annoying.. ESTJ?”

SHUT UP!! JUST SHUT THE F*CK UP!!! MY MBTI type can’t tell me who I am as a person!

“What do Congnitive Processes mean in MBTI?”

The kind of “cognive processes” that MBTI is describing is our attentional manners, which is our ways of paying attention.

We, humans, all pay attention.

When we listen to someone talking, we pay attention to what they are saying.

When we read newspapers, we pay attention to the articles in the newspapers.

MBTI categorizes our various ways of paying attention into into 8 basic modes. They are

Introverted Intuition(Ni),

Extraverted Intuition(Ne),

Introverted Sensing(Si),

Extraverted Sensing(Se),

Introverted Feeling(Fi),

Extraverted Feeling(Fe),

Introverted Thinking(Ti),

and

Extraverted Thinking(Te).

* Definitions of each functions are right below here. For some of them, I directly copied from my Reddit posts.

The difference between Ne and Ni

Ne seeks to look at things from different perspectives and generates/discusses possibilities that are previously unthought of for the sake of novelty. Ne is an abstract function that focuses on metaphysical actions, rather than physical ones, meaning Ne users prefer to “think” about the possible things that they could do in their head or by talking over actually doing stuff in reality. For example, an Ne user may enjoy exploring the possibilities of them being a doctor, a chef and a CEO, but they are less inclined to decide which one is a most likely possiblity and start working on it.

Ni is the opposite of Ne in a way that it likes to make a conclusion on what is the best path. Ni seeks to see linear patterns and connections that lead to one thing in the future. It prefers knowing singular truths over ideation basically. Ni users typically want their life to be aligned with a singular purpose. To simplify, they are more inclined to say “I WILL become a doctor!” than Ne users.

The difference between Se and Si

Se is focused on external sensory information, such as “that car looks cool.”, “This scenery is beautiful” a and so on. As opposed to Si, which is focused on one’s subjective sensory experience, which includes how comfortable your surroundings make you feel internally, and their past experiences. Si things to say would be “This blanket makes me feel warm”, and “This must be true because it already happened to me before”. Because Se is more directly engaged in the outside physical world, people with high Se are very good at making actions in reality. Despite the stereotype that Se doms are party animals, a lot of them can be quite successful because they excel in seizing opportunities in the present moment.

Fi vs.Fe + Ti vs. Te

Fi is about your internal feelings and values. People with high Fi tend to have a sense of what/who they like and dislike. They tend to form judgments about things based on their own ethical values. Fi users seek to be their “authentic selves” in social environments.

•“I love you”,

•“Killing animals feels wrong/immoral”

•“You’re not my friend if you don’t understand the real me”

These statements are all Fi related

Fe, in contrast, is focused on reading and affecting external emotional atmosphere. Fe users observe social cues, such as face expressions and tones of voice, to notice emotional states of others. And they affect the emotional states by words or actions, if they deem it to be necessary. Fe is not about internal/introverted values, but it is about external emotions basically.

• “Are you feeling okay? You seem quite tonight.”

•“You look amazing! Where’d you get that dress!?”

•“That sucks” as opposed to “I don’t like it”(Fi)

Ti is very similar to Fi in a way that it also makes decisions based on your internal judgement. Instead of your feelings, or values though, Ti seeks to make decisions based on what makes sense and what doesn’t make sense to you internally. Ti is about internal understanding of logic. Ti users form logical models that can help them understand why things are the way they are basically. MBTI is also pretty Ti-ish since it models human personality in a way that is logically sound.

Ti statements include

•”You’re contradicting yourself in your own argument. What you say makes no sense”

•”If all humans are mortal, and this individual is immortal, it is impossible that the individual is a human”

•”I don’t want to use math formulas, unless I fully understand why the formulas work”

Te is like Fe because it also sees external data and affect things in the external world. However, unlike Fe, Te pays attention to shared logical facts, instead of shared emotions. Te users like to look at objective statistics and data, and use them to maximize efficiency in order to get from point A to B. Te is not concerned with internal understanding of logic, but it only sees facts as they are, their focus is on how useful or beneficial something is.

Te statements are..

•”If I leave home at 10am, and take the bus that comes at 10:10am, I should be able to get to school by 11:00pm.”

•”I first need to enter my email address, and then my password to log in. Once I log into my account, all I need to do is to put the items I want to buy in my cart and purchase them!”

•”According to this study conducted by Scientist A, it is best to have, at least, 8 hours of sleep for adults to be most active during the day. So I’m going to start doing that!”

To summarize, Fi is about “internal feelings/values”, Fe is about “external emotions and application of them”, Ti is about “internal logical understanding”, and Te is about “external factual accuracy and application”

So now that you know how each function pays attention, let’s look at how the functions manifest in a type!

I use ISFJ as an example. ISFJ’s “function stack”, which describes the order of a type’s preference of cognitive functions, goes..

Si(1st/Dominant)-Fe(2nd/Auxillary)-Ti(3rd/Tertiary)-Ne(4th/Inferior)-Se(5th/Ignoring)-Fi (6th/Demonstrative)-Te(7th/PoLR)-Ni(8th/Balanced)

Look at this table I made that explains definitions of each slot..

This is the description of ISFJ I wrote..

These are the function stacks of other personality types...

Congratulations! Now you should be able to understand how each type uses the 8 cognitive functions. You basically know about how MBTI works more than most people.

Kisses in the rain💋☔️

Prompt: Victor - “Because I love you, you asshole!”

“You're doing it again”.

“Victor I am not doing anything!”

“You keep bumping into me!”

“You're walking too close!”

“I have too, to share the umbrella because someone forgot their own”.

“I didn’t forget it! I just… kinda put it down somewhere and forgot where…”.

It was hammering down with rain and like a dummy you had lost your umbrella, being a not so white knight in shining armour, Victor swooped in to save the day. Both of you was huddled under the sleek umbrella, the tight proximity meant you did bash into him ever so lightly at times but you refused to let Victor know he was right.

“You're a real dummy, you know that?”. Again with the dummy, it was really beginning to wind you up.

“I am not a dummy! I am a very stressed out woman okay, it makes me slightly forget okay,” You huffed out as you continued walking down the street.

“Well you must always be stressed out because you're always forgetful,”.

“God you know what then? If you think so lowly of me just leave me alone!” You angrily yelled, sick and tired of his attitude towards. He would never change ever, he would always be an arrogant, smug prick. You stormed off out of the umbrella, letting yourself become soaked by the fresh air water. Anything was better than being stuck with him. He cursed and angrily called after you, attempting to catch up without running.

“Bella!”.

“God-damnit Bella!”. But you didn’t look back, you wasn’t running to him and running over like an obedient dog to it’s master. No, you owed him nothing, he clearly only saw you as a work employee and that was all. Otherwise he would, or you hoped, he would have asked you out by now.

“If you hate me then why do you always come to me first with anything and everything!” He yelled, you finally stopped in your tracks, your heart pounding in your chest.

“Hate you? Hate you?” You repeated, turning to him with a look of shock on your face, “I come to you because I love you, you asshole!”. You gasp before covering your mouth realising what you had just said: One calling your frickin CEO an asshole, two telling your CEO you loved him, three telling Victor Li ,the man who your heart beated purely for, that you loved him. He dropped his umbrella, swiftly moving to you in one motion before grabbing your arms and leaning down to you kiss you softly.

“Vict-”.

“I don’t care,” He whispered softly against your lips.

“People are lo-” Your face turning red.

““I don’t care,” He whispers once more, before pulling his lips away from yours, a lightly glow on his face.

“I love you too dummy,” He ever so softly whispers into the rain, a voice so soft you almost missed it. The rain entices your bodies as you wrap your arms around his neck, his around your waist, the umbrella forgotten about on the floor. The pair of you embrace, sharing sweet kisses between you, neither caring about being rain-soaked.

I wonder when we’re gonna leave the era of corporations as sports teams and CEOs as celebrities.

When I was a kid, people actually rooted for Bill Gates to remain the richest man on Earth. People are still stanning Elon Musk like he’s the lovechild of Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne, when really he’s Lex Luthor the son of an apartheid blood diamond mine owner who used a small loan from his daddy to buy Tesla and gave himself the title of founder even though he didn’t found it, and is currently working on becoming a defense contractor for the upcoming arms race and cold war, all hidden behind the focus-grouped image of “eccentric billionaire who wants to go to Mars, woohoo!” Isn’t it funny how he uses memes and named his son pussydestroyer42069 as a joke? Isn’t he relatable? isn’t he wacky? Isn’t he the kind of person you want to give billions of your tax dollars to so we can hypothetically deliver nuclear bombs to targets on the other side of the world even faster than we already can? He’s the real life Iron Man, hurr durr.

We need a political movement in the vein of Teddy Roosevelt, busting trusts, breaking up monopolies, quashing the ever creeping influence of Big Business™ on every waking aspect of our lives. Humans are not meant to see advertisements every second of every day; when I go to the gas pump, I just want to pump some frickin gas and go on with my day, I don’t need a little screen giving me celebrity news and talking about Shellvron-Mobile Rewards Cards!

The bubble has to burst eventually.

I get it I get it I get it that at the end of the day the Barak Obamas and Kamala Harrises are just more cogs in the death machine that is the united states of america and there’s not much that makes them even remotely more benevolent and well-intentioned than any white man that came before them, buuuuuuuuut

people really need to not be so eager to ignore how truly monumental it is that we’re frickin FINALLY in an era where having black people in the highest positions of power is something that can even happen at all. The reason why that’s important isn’t because black people in office are inherently Less Bad than white people in office. Because they’re not lmao. It’s important because it’s a measure of how american voters are a bit less repugnant and bigoted and hateful than they were a few decades ago. It’s a measure of america’s collective consciousness slowly becoming a little more reasonable and a little less selfish and a little less devoted to preserving white supremacy and patriarchy at all costs. Maybe it seems unrelated, but believing that a black person can be smart and successful and level-headed and qualified to be in charge of something as daunting as a whole-ass country is a similar kind of thing to believing that, for instance, free college should be a thing. That health care should be free or at LEAST not prohibitively expensive for anyone at all.

Because honestly like... the phrase “a black woman could never be ______” is as ridiculous and ignorant as the statement “fast food workers don’t deserve a living wage.”

As much as I fuckin WISH that people could just have a massive awakening overnight and realize that it’s Good (and POSSIBLE) for everyone to have easy access to food and shelter and education and health care, that’s just not gonna happen. I mean shit, look how long it took for people to be even remotely willing to choose a black man to do a job with at least the same amount of competance (if not more) as 43 white men before him. And as unremarkable and bare-minimum-progressive as Kamala Harris is, I am SURE(!!!!!!) that there are a fucking hell of a lot of people who wouldn’t have supported her if the alternative wasn’t the actual antichrist.

But like. I’m ALSO sure that if this situation had happened just 10 or 20 years ago, they would have picked the antichrist! For no other reason than because they would have GENUINELY preferred to have more catastrophes and clusterfucks at the hands of an evil idiotic rich white fool, than to have unremarkable stability at the hands of a different rich white man who’s just working with a black woman VP.

So like???

When black people get elected into high offices, or become CEOs, or attain any of these powerful positions that we’ve been historically barred from or bullied out of, it’s not the fact that the black person ~achieved~ it that’s an important step forward. The step forward is that the culture even allowed it to happen.

I fucking hate saying it like that because it sounds like basic respect is a ~gift~ that white people bestow unto black and brown people out of the goodness of their hearts. But the shitty fact is that positive change straight up cannot happen if REGULAR PEOPLE don’t facilitate it.

So, the victories of Obama and Harris and other ~powerful~ black people are mostly just proof that the populace is becoming a tiny, tiny bit less ignorant. And though the steps are painfully and frustratingly small, we’ll also see those same tiny steps forward in the directions of other causes like free (or at least affordable) education and healthcare, a criminal justice system that isn’t completely fucking corrupt, and environmental policies that focus on healing and rebuilding and sustaining a healthy planet for all living things.

𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓙𝓲𝓼𝓾𝓷𝓰 𝓦𝓪𝔂 ~ 𝓗𝓪𝓷 𝓙𝓲𝓼𝓾𝓷𝓰

Words: 1,082 oneshot

Genre: bullet scenario!! stylist reader!!

Warnings: major fluff!!

- so anyway, you're one of stray kids' three-woman amazing makeup team but not the one who gave chan highlighter hair lmao

- and you just happened to be the unofficial girlfriend of one of them, much to your brother's confusion but eventual acceptance

- so basically, you had become a trainee when you were 12 but you realized how much you loved doing makeup so you talked to their manager and the CEO

- and here you are, nine years later and having done makeup for got7, twice, itzy, and now stray kids

- so basically, you specialize with the badass or bad boy look, so you tended to work with artists using that concept

- meaning yg the depressed toad had offered you a position and sm had offered a spot to work with nct 127, but you rejected

- so you made your way to the concert venue, almost getting hit by a car in the process but it's fine... right?

- and so you were lugging your back up the stairs when suddenly the weight disappeared

- turning, you find lil' baby jeongin shouldering your bag without a problem

- "lol noona, you're so tiny the bag is literally twice your size!!"

- "haha very funny!! where's your hyungs?"

- "they're all already backstage and i went to go find some water-"

- "-and you obviously didn't find any"

- so you two just walked down the hallway but you could already hear the ever present bickering of jisung and minho but the door was barely in your sight

- laughing, you and jeongin opened the door and jisung immediately ran towards you, tugging on your arm and pointing at minho, pouting like the baby he is

- "babe~!! can you tell your brother that he's mean hoe and he's wrong?!!!"

- "why?"

- minho just shook his head and laughed at you

- "y/n, what are the three ways to do something in life?"

- before you could even say anything, you burst out laughing first, already knowing the answer

- you and minho were almost basically the same person, even down to the same thinking process and people usually thought you were twins since you looked so alike

- "what is the right way, the wrong way, and the jisung way?"

- and right then, seungmin walked in, looking confused as hell

- "but wait... isn't that the wrong way?"

- and you and minho just started laughing at the same time with the exact same weirdass laugh, and almost in perfect unison

- "exactly right!! but it's just a whole lot faster!!

- and everyone just lost it, falling off the chairs and rolling on the floor, literally dying of laughter

- only one person stood alone in the center of the room, pouting with the most betrayed expression on his face

- "babe~!! you were supposed to be on my side!"

- you just laughed, kissing his chin because he was failing miserably at staying out of range from your kisses on his tiptoes

- pouting, he stomped away to plop himself on the floor

- rolling your eyes, you made your way to your mirror where chan sat in the styling chair to get his make-up done

- “and the supposed silent treatment begins”

- “you got that right”

- five minutes later, chan had fallen asleep in his chair

- most stylists thought it made the job that much harder but you thought it made your job the easier thing in the world to do

- tilting to his head back, you finished with chan’s makeup in 45 minutes tops

- next up was minho, who made it his job to make it as difficult as possible

- why? because he was your brother, so for some reason, he’s made it his job to make your life as difficult as possible

- “yah! stop moving your face you dimwit!”

- “i would never!”

- “you better or i’ll make you look the ugliest out of the nine of you!”

- “you wouldn’t dare!”

- “watch me”

- needless to say, he sat still and was absolutely terrified

- but when you were done? tickle fight frickin hell

- “yah! i still have to get through felix! yAH!”

- so as usual, felix’s makeup time turned to relationship advice and english time

- and by the time you were done, felix felt better about changbin and you had learned how to say ‘minho is a dumbass who happens to be my older brother and i’m the better one’ with an australian accent

- no sooner than you had finished, hyeri called, saying that she wouldn’t be able to make it since she had just started going into labor a whole month early

- meaning that you and also had to do hyunjin’s, jeongin’s, and jisung’s makeup

- but before either of the other two could move, jisung sat down in your chair, still pouting

- but all you could do was laugh at him so you pretended you didn’t care at all and started to do his makeup

- but while you were applying the lip tint, jisung suddenly leaned forward to peck you on the lips, transferring the tint onto you

- “jisung!”

- and this little game continued between the two of you until your lips were fully covered in lip tint

- he just smirked at you, satisfied, so you decided to lean forward to give him a sweeet kiss, much to his surprise- when you pulled away, jisung had a dazed, dreamy look on his face

- “now you better sit there and let me finish”

- “yes ma/am”

- and eventually you did finish, with hyunjin and jeongin teasing you to absolutely no end plus seungmin just cackling at jisung’s obviously jealous stare while you did their makeup

- soomi laughed at you, waving her phone around with a picture of you two kissing on it

- “ok! ok! i get it! jeez, you guys are so embarrassing!”

- but instead, jisung wrapped you in a huge bear hug, kissing the top of your head

- “i hate the way they look at you when you do their makeup”

“ “then you’re wrong and being stupid”

- i know! but isn’t that the way just the way i do things?”

- “whatever....”

- he laughed, pecking your nose “ i love you babe”

- “I love you too”

An Occasional Attempt to Read, Discuss and Review the Wonders of Comics By: John Rafferty, cranky old man, and Fan of All Things Comics

Short Takes

Short Reviews, where the Cranky Fat Guy Doesn’t Have Much to Say ———————————————————————

Flash #756 - 757 Reverse Flash Family / Legion of Zoom part 1

Writer: Joshua Wiliamson Artist: Christian Duce / Rafa Sandoval & Jordi Tarragona

‘I know my Daddy didn’t do it! You’re lying!’

Hooooo Boy!

Am I the only one that thinks this is just taking tooooo long to play out?

This is a book about speedsters, right?

When did Barry Allen become such a whiny twit? I mean, Iris has bigger stones than he does...

Hoping this gets better, because right now, Williamson is killing this book for me. It’s a shame, too, because some of the artwork is absolutely brilliant.

Hat’s off to Duce, and Sandoval and Tarragona, for making so much of this.

Billionaire Island #1-2 (Ahoy Comics)

Writer: Mark Russell Art: Steve Pugh

‘Oh My God! Oh My God! Forty years in Action Movies, and I’m finally doing it, For Real!’

Imagine, if you will, a time where the rich don’t want to pay taxes any more, and will do just about anything to avoid doing so...

Welcome to Billionaire Island, conceived by Rick Canto, majority stock holder of AGGRO Corp.

Sanctuary to the Ultra-Rich, where anything goes, nothing is illegal, what happens there, well it definitely stays there. And, anyone who comes snooping around, well, they get the hamster wheel.

Enter our two protagonists, Shelley Bly (biting humor if there ever is some), and a mysterious assassin, who makes short work, and then assumes the identity of the CEO of AGGRO Corp, Corey Spagnola.

Where Pugh and Russell take us, well, I’m not sure it matters, as long as the laughs and the satire are as biting and uproarious as they already have been!

Hamster Wheel!

Road To Empire One-Shot

Writer: Robbie Thompson Artists: Mattia De Iulis, Javier Rodriguez and Alvaro Lopez

‘But you just said it yourself. We were peaceful once. Can’t we be so again?’

Once, there was two warring races, and Earth-616 stood between them.

The Kree-Skrull War occupied much of my childhood, what with the Avengers, the advent of Mar-Vell, the Original Captain Marvel, his Nega-Bands, and the joining to Rick (oh, yes, I need another job) Jones, the Super-Skrull, the Skrull Race, and the Fantastic Four, Carol Danvers, Kamala Khan, the retcon of the Inhumans for the Kree Terrigen Mist, the Kree experimentation on Humanity to create Inhumans, The Secret Invasion, Hulkling, and now.... the Sleeper Skrull-gents, waiting to be activated, after the Secret Invasion went belly up... the list goes on, and inexorably on....

But now, we get the ‘true’ history of the Three Races, Skrull, Kree and Cotati (who da Fu...) anyway, this is where we are.

Strangely enough, this is a neat little bottle story, giving a history lesson, from the view of a combatant. Too often, these history lesson type stories are told either from the viewpoint of the winner, or the loser, and when that happens, the other side is never portrayed in a sympathetic light. This story, maybe because it is told from the viewpoint of a mother, casts all sides as both right and wrong, except the Cotati, who appeared to have been totally obliterated by the Kree, in an effort to show how ‘advanced’ they were.

All in all, a neat story. I’m not sure it’s enough to drag me into the 800 titles that will be involved in this story, but I was dutifully impressed with this story, and art.

Batman The Adventure Continues 1 & 2

Writers: Alan Burnett and Paul Dini Artist: Ty Templeton

‘These rocket’s cost money, ya know!

Send the bill to Batgirl, 123 Try And Find Me Avenue, Gotham City!’

Well, for fans of Batman: The Animated Series, and Batman: The New Adventures, your time is nigh!

Did you ever have that show you watched, no matter what, and when it got cancelled, you wished, with all your might, it would come back... on another channel, on a streaming platform, somehow?

For some reason, the Powers That Be at DC / WB / ATT decided it was time to give the Little Kid in all of us something to enjoy... 20+ pages of Paul Dini / Alan Burnett goodness with Ty Templeton SPECIALNESS!

Two issues in, and I’m all a-giggle... Batman - Superman -Luthor - GIANT ROBOT, Bat Family - Slade Frickin’ Wilson!!!, and the stories are fun! They are well written, snappy dialoged, nicely transitioned stories... good enough for the pre-teen, with more than enough to tickle the memories of the these characters unfold as written during the 90’s.

Templeton's artwork captures the stylistics of the cartoon show, while enhancing it for the newer reader. The reader can see / hear Dini’s influences in the dialog, it moves similar to the cartoon of old, nary skipping a beat, grabbing the old memories, and dragging them to the forefront.

I hope this team can keep the established pace up. If they can, this will be my GO - TO Happy Place Book going forward!

Sleeping Beauties #1 ( From the fevered minds of Stephen and Owen King)

Adapted : Rio Youers Art: Alison Sampson

‘Sleeping Sickness. A Never-Ending Universe. Jeez, it sounds like High School’ They say it’s in the genes.

Talent, that is.

Well, I’m here to tell you, this is the evidence.

The King Family, in all it’s gory. Sorry, glory. Tabitha, with her Nodd’s Ridge stories, Joe Hill, well between Hill House Comics, Locke and Key, NOS4A2...and now Owen, with Sleeping Beauties, co-penned with his dad.

You know. The creepy guy from Castle Rock.

Anyway, this adaptation is pretty, stylish, and so far, pretty on point. Rio Yours is doing a nice job of staying true to source, while pushing the story quickly enough to make it palatable for the comics world.

The wonder is the art. This book is beautiful. It is very stylized, almost webbed together, Some of the artwork is very airy, as if it is intended to float, almost without perspective, while other panels stand out as meticulous, detailed studies in a single action, to capture the act in case there is a need to refer back to it later.

Like a King story, there is a great deal going on, some detail which the Reader might miss at first, but will be drawn to later.

This is a book to watch. It is guaranteed to be a limited run, but it is well worth catching.

Justice League 45-46-47 Cold War parts 2-3-4

Writer: Robert Venditti Pencils: Xermanico & Robson Rocha Inkers: Xermanico, Daniel Henriquez & Robson Rocha

Jim Corrigan... The Spectre... Themyscira... Tartarus!

The Gates of Hell are Opening! God’s Fist of Vengeance is no longer tethered to a human host! Tartarus, the FIRST GOD of THE HELLS is loosed upon the world!

And everyone is just being introspectively angry?

John Stewart and Batman don’t like each other?? This is news? Everyone’s pissed at Superman?? Hell, I’m pissed at Superman!! That was dumb!

Corrigan pissed at GOD?!!? The Spectre, the Spirit of Vengeance, has been corrupted?? Why does this feel like 4 issues of a CSPAN?

Pretty artwork, though...

My Problem with the “Alpha Male”

Hey guys! So I hope my last post on uncertainty was somewhat interesting, I really enjoyed writing it and being able to express my thoughts on this reality that I think is huge for us as human beings to embrace: the benefits and possibilities of the unknown. In this post I want to talk about something that has really bugged me for a long time, and it’s the internet’s obsession with the “Alpha Male”. I’m going to try my hardest to not turn this into an overly biased rant, even though it is something that really makes me cringe on an epic scale. At the end, to illustrate my point, I’ll be using one of my favourite characters as a case study: Iron Man and his alter ego Tony Stark. For all the people who don’t give two shits about superhero’s or anything close, chill. A basic run down of the character’s origin and how it relates to the alpha male concept is all you're going to get. I know you were probably like ‘yeah, I’m skipping that Aden!’. It’ll make sense. Trust me.

If you type 'alpha male' into YouTube or Google, what you’re going to find is many corny video’s with title’s like “10 Traits an Alpha Male Has”, “How to stop being BETA and start being ALPHA”, “How to be the Dominant Alpha Male in ANY situation”, with a thumbnail of some male model in a clean-cut suit or James Bond next to an angry gorilla beating his chest. All these videos and articles more or less communicate the same general, toxic message: “To be happy as a man you need to be an over-dominant asshole who doesn’t take shit from anybody, who’s value is measured by how many supermodel's he’s slept with and how much bank he makes". Also communicated: “If you’re not this, you will basically be a worthless beta male who is doomed to a life of playing video games in your mum’s basement”. Awesome. Just awesome. So, because I let people finish their sentences, don’t sleep with a different FHM model every night of the week and make less than $20k my life is worthless? Damn! Guess I need to walk around and start calling myself 'Alpha’ and acting like a douche! So you probably get the idea I’m trying to communicate here: Telling men to be an asshole who doesn’t care about anything but money, status and getting laid is stupider than people getting emotional over toilet paper! But actually my point here is: what about young men who have a low self esteem, no real life experience who don’t know any better and actually believe this? What about the guys on the comment section of these videos saying things like “My whole life has been playing video games and not getting what I want. I’m 22 now with a shitty job. Never had a girlfriend and still a virgin. I know I need to man up and focus on getting a lifestyle like blah blah blah..” This is what concerns me. See, when I was in my early 20’s and I hadn’t no experience with women (except being friend zoned), no work or life experience and no real idea of who I ‘really was’; To see these type of video’s would have me be believing this type of thing. I was lucky that back then YouTube was not as huge as it is now and the whole alpha male obsession has really only been a major thing in the last few years. Back then, I know if watched videos about being an alpha, I probably would have adopted that mentality. Because I didn’t know any better, I would have not challenged these toxic views and formed my own opinion. All throughout my early twenties I really struggled with what confidence actually is, what women actually mean to me (and what they want) and what it is that I actually value. Do you think if I adopted the toxic alpha male archetype I would have any sort of genuine self-esteem? Probably not. What would have happened is I would have spent countless hours, days and years seeking internal validation from the opposite sex through meaningless sex: a form of external validation. I would have struggled with trying to become ‘rich’ (also external validation) and have had to deal with backstabbers, conditional relationships, health problems and sleepless nights. All for what? Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying that having one night stands, being an entrepreneur or starting a business is a bad thing; my point is what type of validation are you actually seeking? It’s no surprise that the self perceived ‘beta male’; The guy who has a minimum wage job at McDonalds, still a virgin at 22 and play’s video games religiously, believes that he needs to embody this ridiculous archetype. At the end of the day, this guy is not validating himself internally. He believes he needs the external validation in order to validate himself.

Tony Stark, before he becomes Iron Man, is exactly like the archetype I described above. He’s a flashy billionaire, being the CEO of a successful weapons company. He is a charming and charismatic guy who has model’s on tap. While being an engineering genius in developing advanced weapons tech for his company, he’s also an egocentric douche who finds joy in partying and living by the bottle. Long story short, he get’s kidnapped by Afghan insurgents who force him to build a weapon for their terrorist means. Kept in a concentration camp like environment with another prisoner who save’s his life after nearly dying, Tony (being a genius engineer), builds a suit of armour to help him and the prisoner escape. After the other prisoner sacrifices himself to help him escape, Tony realises what’s actually important to him, realises the value of a life and see’s how his ‘alpha male lifestyle’ really meant nothing. After he comes home, he builds an advanced version of the armour and becomes the hero ‘Iron Man’. He becomes a valued superhero who helps saves countless lives (with some other superhero buddies, of course!) and inspires many because he knows the true value of life (and also because his armour is frickin’ awesome and bad ass!). It’s this brush with death that forces him to be humble, discover a true purpose and transcend his ego to a higher state of being. I love this origin because it represent’s how much better a life with meaning has over toxic alpha male values. So my question is: which version of Tony would you rather be? The ‘alpha’, shallow, live fast-die young version? Or the hero who understands his purpose and knows that it has meaning? I don’t know about you, but I know which version of Tony I’d like to model my life over.

“I am done with great things and big plans, great institutions and big success. I am for those tiny, invisible loving human forces that work from individual to individual, creeping through the crannies of the world like so many rootless, or like the capillary oozing of water, which, if given time, will tend the hardest monuments of pride”

- William James

Some Spider-Man:Homecoming Awesome Moments/thoughts, behind a cut bc spoilers, and also long:

I basically squee’d through the entire beginning, after the like Damage Control/Toomes part. From the whole orchestrated version of the Spider-Man cartoon theme during the Marvel sequence (which honestly was way too frickin long, but the music was a good touch), to the vlogging part, like it was just. So Good. (my Spider-Man friend liked the vlogging, too, said it was a very Peter Parker thing)

Adrian Toomes literally has the stupidest reason for hating Tony Stark, and also tbh, supes awk I’ve been salty/on guard so long from the anti’s, it wasn’t obvious to me at all that Toomes was Evil All Along, I lowkey read it as “and this is when I decided to become Evil” moment with him staring with hate at Tony. Apparently, according to my friend I went with, who is more of a Spider-’verse guy, it was p obvious to him *like a cross between shrug emoji and :’)* (I think it was the fact that, like, Tony’s face took up half that screen that had me on guard? It says *US* Department etc, joint venture, etc, but like isn’t Pepper still CEO of Stark Industries? I mean idk I guess I’m kind of annoyed the anti’s have me so on guard that I looked at that and was like “great it’s set up to blame Tony personally for stuff that is again NOT his personal sole total fault”)

Re: the vlogging. oH MAN, THE TIMES NEW ROMAN 12 PT FONT DOUBLE SPACED CARD!!!! I’D ACTUALLY FORGOTTEN ABOUT THIS, HOW LONG AGO WAS THAT FROM?? Was that CW? It seems like it’s been ages

comment Tony made re: May wearing whatever. Oh no, bad, not good, whose idea was this, pls can we Stop that (other than that tho the rest of it was good, so even though we started rough at least we moved on)

oh no sad child sending a million texts with no response :( (okay it kind of is hilarious to me that Happy is so incredibly out of his depth with Peter tho, like he has no idea what to do with being responsible for a teenager)

THE CHILDREN ARE ACTUALLY CHILDREN, THEY LOOK LIKE...middle school/high school, I’ve realized I am REALLY bad at telling, I’m back home and see these kids in the mall or Starbucks and I’m like “I am going to call them high schoolers but they look So Small somehow, a part of me yells “MIDDLE SCHOOLERS”???

tiny soft spider son who is awkward but not cringey? The whole movie was wholesome and good, and him and Liz were cute and there was no Hetero Farce, like Liz actually liked him, too, even though Peter’s an underdog it didn’t condescend on him? (like, didn’t play up that whole No Girl Will Like You Cuz You’re A Nerd thing that’s like douchebro mentality)

BODEGA CAT

omg tiny child going into alleyway and changing into his suit, kind of a weirdly endearing scene but so ???? like I don’t even know how to describe this feeling but He Is My Tiny Spider Son

the little notes are super cute. "why did I tell him about the churro” super cute. Him accidentally messing up and webbing a guy who was breaking into his own car: also super cute actually, and good flavor, too. All of it set the stage really well for him as an actually “Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man,” like he’s basically running errands, but also he’s not omniscient so sometimes things are not what they seem

Happy is SUPER out of his depth lmao oh man

Ned Leeds and his fanboying highkey relatable (guy in the chaiiiir)

I can’t believe Zero Moustafa was in this movie, I didn’t even recognize him also I highkey was not expecting him

honestly all of the whole “changes in your body” stuff to Peter were also funny and added great flavor to the movie. It’s a bit out there and ridiculous but it’s from Peter’s PoV and was very appropriate for that :D

DUM-E!!!!!

“how far can you shoot?” “if I were you I’d stand on the edge of a building and shoot as far as you can” *girl turns around and gives them a weird look*

I highkey appreciate that Peter is the “I can just be myself” kind of person, this lets Ned be the “nobody wants that” ironic humor but also highkey relatable guy/line person. This was a good way of setting up those dyad of lines bc it centers self-confidence FIRST, and then the self-deprecating humor

running across the golf course was Excellent, him flailing so badly in suburbia was also good flavor and also hashtag same

“if you’re going to shoot someone shoot me” TINY HEROIC SPIDER SON OH MY GOD OH MAN HOLY HECK

“So. You got detention”

something something “those turkeys convinced you” something something

“So your body’s changed. Believe me, I know how that feels”

“You can’t just stroll back in and expect to be welcomed with open arms” *teacher walks out of bus with open arms* “hey, welcome back, Peter.”

“Listen, can we go, already? cuz I was hoping to get in some light protesting before dinner” “protesting is patriotic, let’s get on the bus”

Training Wheels Protocol. Baby Monitor Protocol. Karen. DRONEY. ADVANCED INTERROGATION MODE LMAO. “Instant Kill.”

seriously tho I appreciate how much of a genuinely down-to-earth guy Peter is. It’s not forced and it’s consistent, he’s such a good child

the TI-84 tho

RDJ!!! ARM-CLUTCHING!!! “gosh I sound like my father” *quiet gross sobbing on the inside*

school admin: there’s a dance. what are you doing? Ned: I’m....looking...at....porn?

that whole sequence of Toomes in the car on their way to homecoming was cinematically brilliant?? The way the light of the traffic lights shone and the symbolism with it, I like had a moment of like, “Oh my god, this is actually a really well-crafted movie??” (like tbh my salty ass lowkey can’t believe *Marvel* churned it out)

(this whole middle section I stopped taking notes and was just watching bc the next notes I have are on Tony losing control of the screwing the pooch metaphor lmao. but a couple points:)

“COME ON, SPIDER-MAN” D: D:

the invisible jet. them playing up the danger of the turbines was really suspenseful, but also very nice because it demonstrates genre-savvy. also, that part where you see Spidey on the top of the jet camo panels bc he’s on the bottom :D :D

seeing Peter save Toomes made me a bit sad bc I was remembering the post Nat wrote about the parallels we COULD have had, i.e. from IM1, IM3, that were ultimately cut :(

Tony’s whole extending the metaphor on screwing the pooch and absolutely losing control of it with the whole free clinic and hybrid puppies line lmao.

“he made a really mature decision. surprised the heck out of us” :D :D these two are so frickin out of their depth with any kid, let alone Peter. Thank heck Peter’s the voice of reason here. (again, good flavor, cute characterization points, gr8 all around)

the whole post credit scene and the metatexual poking fun at the audience for waiting for something for forever that doesn’t seem like it’s worth it lmaooo. (actually when I’d first glanced at a gifset on Tumblr, I’d thought he was referring to waiting for Peggy since TFA ended on that note, so I thought it was referring back to that)

re: like the treatment of the high school setting, it seemed a biiiit...stereotypical to me, but I think ultimately it was a good mix of current with nostalgic for the maybe older crowd who’d watched three iterations of Spider-Man in so many years, I think. Like, the whole “You’re bullied because you’re a nerd” and the whole “very clear defined cliques” thing is so....Mean Girls era, and that kind of was the touch of nostalgia. But also they did kind of set it up where Peter and Ned weren’t necessarily bullied by EVERYONE *for* being nerds, because Flash was also in Decathalon, and more because Flash was a jerk, which I think was a good updated social mores touch. Also, I liked that the “comeuppance” scene with Peter commandeering Flash’s (dad’s) car wasn’t all vindictive, it was fueled by genuine need, and he didn’t go out of his way to destroy the car, he just literally had never actually driven on roads before :DD

so kind of in conclusion: SM:H really is All That and More, it was so good and I want to watch it again a million times

#spider man spoilers #I'm sorry my tag is so awful #I hope mobile doesn't mess this up weirdly for ppl #roz speaks #spider man homecoming #I literally took notes in a notebook as I watched lol #the post is very long #smhc talk

Uber's CEO has resigned — meet the 14 executives running the company

Uber CEO Travis Kalanick is out.

In the wake of a series of scandals and a report recommending wide-ranging changes at the company, the executive announced he was taking a leave of absence earlier this month — and he has now resigned.

Kalanick's departure is the latest and most consequential example yet of the upheaval roiling the top ranks of Uber. In total, seven executives who reported directly to Kalanick have left in recent months. Their departures came amid growing questions about Uber's culture following a scathing blog post by former engineer Susan Fowler about her experiences at the company.

Kalanick was directly implicated in multiple scandals, including a video of him angrily berating an Uber driver over pay, and reports that a senior exec obtained the medical records of a passenger who was raped and discussed them with the CEO.

When Kalanick's leave of absence was announced, a 14-person group of executives was put in place to lead the company. Now his resignation is official, it's not clear how quickly the company will seek to find and install a new CEO. But in the meantime, here are the 14 executives now running Uber, and what they will be working on:

SEE ALSO: A woman who was raped in India by an Uber driver has sued the company, saying executives mishandled her medical records

Thuan Pham, Chief Technology Officer

As Uber's chief technology officer, Thuan Pham has been leading Uber's engineering team since 2013. During that time, his group has grown from 40 engineers to more than 1,200. He's widely described as an inspirational leader.

But his tenure hasn't been without its challenges. As Uber struggled to deal with growing demand, Pham was "deathly afraid" of its app going offline, The Information reported.

Meanwhile, Pham's future at the company had been in question following Fowler's post. The former engineer said Pham took little action in response to one of her complaints.

David Richter, SVP of Business

Richter, who joined Uber in 2014 as its vice president of strategic initiatives, got a promotion when Chief Business Officer Emil Michael resigned on Monday. Richter took over the job of heading Uber's business as a senior vice president.

Prior to joining Uber, Richter was the chief strategy officer at Say Media for three years. He is known for being the "adult in the room," and will have a difficult task ahead of him in the absence of both Kalanick and Michael.

Ryan Graves, SVP Operations

When Ryan Graves responded to a tweet from Travis Kalanick about a job at a startup by saying, "HERE's a tip. email me:)", there was no way of knowing Uber would become the $69 billion company it is today.

Graves served as Uber's first CEO and general manager. Kalanick succeeded him as CEO, something Graves was "super pumped" about. (For his part, Kalanick was "frickin' pumped".)

Graves then served as a senior vice president and head of global operations. When Jeff Jones joined the company from Target to head up Uber's operations, Graves became the company's resident entrepreneur and builder. Following Jones' departure in March, he's been back in his old role as SVP of Operations.
