Hi, I'm John. 28. They/them. Follow for all things nerdy, mainly Marvel. (Icon is Magic: The Gathering's "Hallar, the Firefletcher" and background is Homestuck's Jake and Dirk by Andrew Hussie.)
Superman is an incredibly kind and tender character. (If he’s not being written that way, then he’s not being written well.) He inspires hope not just through his heroics, but also through his kindness toward other people. That’s his thing. Don’t you DARE call tenderness a “weakness.” Get your toxic masculinity the hell away from me and go read a badly written Batman comic if you want a “tough” male character.
Why on EARTH would someone think Superman being tough and Superman being kind are contradictory?
Is that a Snyder fan telling someone that “you’re wrecking the character, create something new instead of making an interpretation that’s so off-base”?
Because Snyder is the guy who wanted the Greek Gods to all be Kryptonians and the Amazons to be descended from them.
Where’s that comic where Superman comforts Billy?
I saw that tweet by Gunn and thought “So, like regular Superman?”
Kyle sounds like Lex Luthor who believed that Superman doesn’t have a Civilian identity because such a godlike being would see it as beneath him. Also here you go @simon-newman
These few pages legit make me cry
That’s not just for acting, that’s life advice. Seriously deep wisdom right there.
Only the strong can be gentle, because the weak don’t have the option of causing harm. Gentleness is the virtue that Superman can best exemplify, by being so strong that the only thing stopping him is himself.
I am so glad that someone who actually likes Superman is writing Superman now
Superman has literally always been gentle and tender.
And that advice from Larry Cullen to Peter came from his own lived experience in the Vietnam War, taking orders from men who were exactly like that Snyder fan wants Superman to be, who thought that strength was being angry and violent and belittling of others without any compassion or kindness in them. Like. There’s a reason Superman and Optimus Prime are both so timeless in their roles as heroes. Because people like them in real life, in positions of power or authority or both, are so rare. They both represent the kinds of people we wish we had in the real world, but don’t. And so instead they inspire us to be those kinds of people ourselves. To break the cycle we have experienced before, and become heroes ourselves.
The original tweet is the corniest thing I’ve ever fucking seen
A. They’re not gonna tip you, periodt. So already the $10mil is looking better.
B. They’re not gonna talk to you, so any “business advice” you thought was gonna be worth more than $10mil, that’s null and void, aint happening.
C. Here’s the real secret of their “success”; they’re all bad people. That’s literally it. They’re willing to lie, steal, cheat, bully, oppress, rape, etc to get what they want, and their appetites are never sated, so they never stop lying, cheating, etc. You don’t get that kind of money through hard honest work. If you’re willing to be a big enough piece of shit, you could easily be one of these guys.
So yeah, if someone’s offering that choice, get it in writing and stay the hell away from these creeps.
But if you’re serving them you can poison the food
also greg is the most bisexual-coded cartoon dad ever
so greg you’re telling me your conservative family doesnt approve of your musical awakening coming from a naked gay icon in gnc/drag makeup and they want to send you to the military but you ran away and changed your name and ended up with a musical aesthetic best described as indie glam rock dad with a non-binary space alien gf instead? das crazy, tell me more about how straight you are
800 years ago at All Saints Church in Hereford, England, a skillful carpenter carved this gentleman high up in the dark roof where nobody could see him. Five years ago they built an extra floor with bright lights for a restaurant.
yeah sorry but your boyfriend got into a christmas game where he beheaded this supernatural knight and now he has to get the same blow returned to him in a year and a days time. and now he’s making out with said knight & his wife before he gets beheaded. yeah no he definitely didn’t need to behead him in the first place
magical girl transformation but theres no pretty lights or sparkles just grotesque and blood curling body mutation layered by the sounds of joints cracking bones snapping and muscles twisting unnaturally and she looks like a normal magical girl at the end
I was just thinking about how important it is to have authors (both fan and professional) with whom I feel… safely unsafe, if that makes sense.
Like, this is going to hurt, there are going to be things that happen to these characters that I absolutely Do Not Want to happen, but I trust you and I trust this ride.
there is, in fact, a “platonic explanation for this” if you’re not a coward
its so fun to see the diversity of tags on this ranging from “they’re literally just standing next to each other” to “deep bonds dont have to be romantic/sexual!” to “yeah friends can fuck nasty, platonically. coward.” we’re all so correct, there are, in fact, a million platonic explanations for this
