I've been on the @entities-of-posts blog lately and my hand slipped.

The lore is mostly on Discord now but I thought the whole Homestuck debacle was funny.

My Dood design and future headcanons if you even care ...

BONUS INFO (if you even care): Taylor uses a cane! And is nonbinary (he/they).

"Odd jobs" sounds very vague. Scams and shitty companies, is what I mean. A lot of times with Hermie.

Taylor more or less creates the Homestuck of their universe Cuz I think that's funny.

Linc and Scary decided to adopt, since both of them have non-biological parents. And also because I don't want to deal with teen pregnancy dawg.

I got inspired by Courtney Love and Hole for Scary's "stage persona", and what butthole ricochet sounds like in the future.

Edit: @solitary-bones changed my mind about Hermie and Normal. They're just always on-and-off. Maybe have some other partners in the middle, come back to eachother, try to make it work. Still, in the finale, they're definitely going through the roughest patch. Like a full break up. They'll probably go back. Or perhaps not.

I think that's it, thank you for reading!!

Inevitably I'll get to proper finale fanart but for now this is all I can offer.

I’ve had this theory cooking for a bit. But part of me wonders if George was a closeted gay man (or at least bi) who loved Kingston’s dad and felt betrayed when he ended up with Kingston’s mom. His resentment of Kingston isn’t just that he’s part mime and a great entertainer but that he’s also the living embodiment of his dad’s perceived ‘Betrayal’

It’s just a theory but yeah. I love this comic so my wheels have been grinding.

Wonder Woman '59: Good Stories with Nonsense Plots

Wonder Woman #106 is the story about Wonder Woman temporarily losing her magical powers and getting trapped by a planet of giants. Why did this happen? Because otherwise there wouldn't be a comic. Welcome to the Gutters.

Saying a superhero comic has a "nonsense plot" is something that needs some extraordinary circumstances. This issue already has a story where an ancient greek Amazon gets kidnapped by space giants and put on a massive charm bracelet, and that isn't even the nonsense part.

The story begins when a giant named Tooroo wins the Giant Olympics and claims the planet Earth as his prize. He shows up and starts grabbing all the shiny things he can see as gifts for his giant girlfriend. Wonder Woman tries to stop him but, unfortunately, it's June 19th! AT 10 O'CLOCK!

For some reason, all of Wonder Woman's special equipment - her tiara, lasso, bracelets and invisible jet - lose their magical powers for 24 hours at this specific date and time. It's never explained to the characters or the audience why this happens, and this right here is the nonsense plot. Wonder Woman's whole deal and the planet of asshole giants, that's a wacky premise, but I can accept it. But if a plot introduces an arbitrary restriction on that premise, like Wonder Woman losing her powers because of a superhero service interruption, the story needs to provide at least some explanation as to why that is.

Despite that, the story itself is actually pretty good. Wonder Woman challenges the big dumb man and has to overcome his challenges despite being .1% his size. Without her special equipment, she has to use her skills and intelligence to win, and pulls out a last-second turnaround by using the giant's overwhelming strength to her advantage. At the end, everyone learns a lesson not to pick on people just because you're 100 stories tall.

Second story in the issue is "The Invisible Wonder Girl" which gives up the plot twist right in the preview image. Wonder Girl gets secretly replaced by an alien shapeshifter, and for some reason this new girl doesn't show up in photographs. Like it doesn't show a blur or her true form or anything, she just doesn't show up at all. I think the writers confused aliens with vampires. The Amazons decide no harm done and let her stay on Paradise Island, and she is never seen again.

The first story in Issue #107: "Wonder Woman: Amazon Teenager" has two main throughlines. The first is that Wonder Girl meets a mer-boy named Ronno and starts like a cute teen romance with him. The second is that the Amazons have a time machine that they can use to view the future, and Wonder Girl decides she wants to dress like her future self, and she goes on a quest to get her future costume iconography. Again, kind of a nonsense plot. It doesn't even affect the story because there's any number of reasons why the Amazons could send her on this quest.

As with before, the story itself is pretty good. It's a classic story structure where the hero goes on a dangerous quest, gaining skills, tools, and allies that help them complete their task. It's a formula that's survived into the present day, basically every Zelda game uses this exact structure. Ronno the mer-boy is a pretty fun addition, unclear if he's from the same mermaid civilization as Lori Lemaris, but he shows up a few times in these adventures.

The second story in #107, "Gunslingers of Space", is exactly what it says on the tin. Aliens disguise themselves as old west gunsligners and try to rob airplanes on flying horses. Why are they doing this? Don't ask stupid questions. Wonder Woman beats them by getting a thousand magnets together, smushing them into one massive magnet with her bare hands, and grabbing them by all the metal they're wearing. That's fun, it feels like something that would happen in a tall tale, like Pecos Bill roping the tornado.

Issue #108 features "Wanted - Wonder Woman," with a cover that looks like a prototype of the iconic "Days of Future Past" cover from Uncanny X-Men #141. In my last post I talked about the sequence where Wonder Woman robs a bank and gets chased by the police at night, and it's pretty cool. The reason for that is that aliens are attempting to mind control her so that she will be unable to stop them from invading.

We've seen this kind of plot before, Batman and Superman have all had this happen to them. This issue makes a really significant storytelling decision to show us Wonder Woman's internal monologue as she's being subverted. With Batman or Superman, it's usually played as a mystery, where the audience asks "Why is Superman stealing the jewels?" Here, we see Wonder Woman having to ask herself "Why am I stealing the jewels?" and trying to fight off her own impulses, and that turns it from a mystery story to a horror story.

I also wanna point out I love the alien design. I love aliens that look like bugs, and these guys are gross and cute at the same time. Bring back unnamed aliens from Wonder Woman #108.

Once they get Wonder Woman to rob the bank, as seen last time, they conclude that she's completely dominated and won't put up a fight against them. That's when Wonder Woman reveals that she was only pretending to submit to their mind control and had been building up resistance. The aspect of dominance and submission from the Golden Age Wonder Woman doesn't come up much in the silver age because of COWARDICE, but this is a good way to bring those elements up again. When faced with unwanted domination, Wonder Woman chooses to feign submission while secretly undermining those who would control her. This is going to be more and more relevant as the world gets more and more awful.

The second story in #108 is about some stamp-themed supervillain making special Wonder Woman stamps that grow to massive size and explode and then uses them for military sabotage. It is a completely wild story and nobody in it acts like a person who shares a housing complex with reality. Absolute nonsense plot. I don't even know what to say about it so I am going to move on.

I feel like a lot of these stories weren't written to have aliens in it. To me, these read like they had a more supernatural or fantastic bent and then aliens were plastered on top to make it fit the silver age ethos. For example, the giants could just be magical giants who live in some secret magical kingdom. The shapeshifter who impersonated Wonder Girl makes more sense if she's some kind of ghost or spirit. The Duke of Deception from last time would work just as well if he were working for Mars, the god of War.

The one thing I really wish would have been more fantastic is "Gunslingers of Space." Cowboys and outlaws of the wild west have been described as a kind of American mythology, and it would be really interesting to contrast that with Wonder Woman, a representative of Classical mythology. I could see, for example, the Greek gods trying to take on new personas to rule the modern age, or even the spirits of the old west manifesting as new gods and having to fight the old. Just building up stories for my hypothetical Wonder Woman run.

Until next time!
