What’s the best way to read comics (assuming you want to buy them and not pirate)? Buying collections/omnibuses? Or individual issues? Or the DC infinite subscription thing maybe? If it’s any current run obviously the local comic shop would have them or could pull order them, but what if you want something that’s not from the last 12 months? What do you think?

Oh man it’s really so subjective tbh, personally I love collecting physical comics but that adds up very very quickly. Omnibuses are great and are cheaper than buying every individual comic for a run (most of the time) and are a bit easier for early readers to keep track of stories that may be told through multiple different comic book runs.

The most budget friendly option is sailing the seven seas but DC Infinite is definitely the most budget friendly option with payment involved. There are some issues I have with the site like some comics being locked behind the Ultra paywall for seemingly no reason or comics not visible until 6 months after they’re released (you can still read them the week they come out but after that you gotta wait. It’s an incentive for you to buy a physical copy).

If you don’t want something from the last 12 months, all options you’ve said are great! If you truly want to just read one comic run then you may have to order it online, I don’t think I’ve ever collected an entire comic run from just one comic shop, for comic shops you gotta have a “it would be cool if I found ___” mentality. As you’ve said, you can ask your shop and they might be able to order you the entire run if you wish!

I hope at least some of this helps it feels like I was mostly just throwing words at the wall, happy comic reading!!

I LOVE this set and i was wondering if you could pls explain how you did the text, including how you added texture to the ripped text and the highlighting/circling/etc of words? thank you for posting your beautiful gifs 😊

thank you!! 🥺 & of course! (photopea tutorial)

the majority of the texture for the ripped paper effect i can't really take credit for it's on the paper it's self all i did was make the paper white (because the texture was yellow) and used curves to darken the texture), i got the texture from one of photopea's templates but it seems their whole template section has changed drastically and no longer has like anything i used to see before ???? so i'll just share both versions here:

(original & my edited version)

for the ripped parts i just played around with this brush set in the plugins

once i decided which of the paper brushes to use i had a new layer and used it where i wanted, so top left in the gif above, i clip masked the paper texture (and the adjustment layers as well) onto it so you get that ripped effect (if you don't like or want to add to that you can always use the brush tool again (or the erasure tool) set as the paper brush to add or remove sections i did this a lot when i realised certain words i wanted to show weren't on there (also changing the size of the paper brush when wanting to add a little bit or take a little bit away was a massive help)

i also always add a drop shadow to my paper textures, the settings i used is mostly the same EXCEPT for the angle for all of the ripped paper (it's also my text drop shadow settings) because depending on how the ripped paper looks you might have to change the angle

also i know in the screenshot below it's on but make sure the use global angle is off if you're going to have multiple different angles of drop shadow in your one gif (so if you want your paper texture on 125° but anything else on 60° the global angle needs to be off but if you want them the same then you can keep that on, which is why it's on for me because the angle is the same for both the text & the ripped paper) (and by text this isn't the text on the ripped paper, there isn't any drop shadow on the text itself there, just to clarify this was for my "ripped paper text tutorial by dengswei" text)

as you can see i also clipped my "handwriting" text to the paper layer this is so it stayed on the paper rather then going onto the gif itself (and it saved the fiddly part of masking it away & it felt more authentic this way too)

i found for me it was easier to seperate the text line by line so i knew exactly which part of the text was on which and if i wanted to change anything either it being a typo, changing the paper texture, or wanting a different word on a different line it was easier that way because it didn't end up messing up all of the text (though you don't have to do it that way, it's just what worked for me here)

font i used was: vag-handwritten (a default photopea font)

all of the next part needs to be above the text on your ripped paper:

for the highlighting, circles, and the lines it's pretty much all the same, i chose the colour which matched the gif (so say purple), for the highlight used the rectangle select & colour fill tools and set that to multiply & then played around with opacity (for most of my highlighting it's set to 50%), for the circles it was the same except the circle shape tool (no fill just stroke) set to purple, set to multiply, with 100% opacity (i found the circles looked better with 100% on some gifs depending on what colour i used), & then duplicated it once or twice and then just moved each circle to where i thought it looked best & the double lines is also the same using the line tool, set to multiply, & playing around with the opacity, & positioning them where i like

for the squiggly lines, the hearts, the 3 small doodle lines at either side of a word, & any other doodles i had on there i doodled them myself with my drawing tablet (you probably don't have to use a drawing tablet i just found it easier that way) using the free pen tool and then did the same thing set it to multiply and played with the opacity

if the colour you choose looks too dark or too light with it set to multiply either try a lighter/darker colour, try out something else like lighten, or screen, or increase/decrease the opacity more (i found i had this issue with the yellow being hard to see on the white paper so i used a darker yellow and kept everything at 100% opacity rather than 50%)

hope that helps! and please if anything is confusing or you want to ask any more don't hesitate to ask i know i ramble on a bit and it can sometimes get a bit confusing 🤣 or if there was anything i missed feel free to ask again 🥰

[bigfatbreak]

Why not post the updated one right after the other instead of waiting a day?

I'm genuinely curious.

I like the serotonin of checking ppl's reactions in the tags and comments while I'm on shift at work. its an entirely selfish reason lmao

https://www.tumblr.com/secretlystephaniebrown/776155396202233856/i-am-not-always-confident-in-my-writing-but-i-am?source=share drop the robot pronoun lore?

*shuffles my notes* okay!

So this is exclusively to Glories, mind you, I’m not committing to this for anything else I ever write. Also I’m legally reserving the right to change my mind on any of this if it’s funny or angsty.

So roughly, in my world building there are three layers of castes, and each caste has their own pronouns. These pronouns connote societal roles, like consort, knight, etc. There are certain people who get Extra Special™️ pronouns: aka, the Prime.

Primes get a fancy unique pronoun that only they get. Priests have similar pronouns, but like, the neocybex equivalent of lowercase. It’s obvious both written and spoken to Cybertronians which one you are using.*

(Megatron refuses to use the Primal Pronouns and just uses priest pronouns for Optimus. It’s very scandalous.)**

Senators and the rulers of city states are the equivalent of he or she/theys. You get an EXTRA pronoun but you keep the old one.

Sparklings have a unique pronoun that they keep until their adult upgrades. It also is one of the only ones that doesn’t distinguish between castes.

If you change castes, you change pronouns. So Hound and Ironhide, who both got knighted, now have noble pronouns. They both use their old peasant pronouns in private because they don’t buy into this noble bullshit

A host-bot has plural pronouns. it's the equivalent of they/them in English and many people struggle to get it right. But if you get it wrong you’ll have cassettes dog-piling you, so it’s worth the effort. (Cassettes have their own set of pronouns to differentiate between mechs, beastformers, and flight frames.)

Medics also have weird pronouns. They’re just “doctor” with various signifiers to let you know what caste they’re supposed to treat.***

Starscream has so many roles/qualifications that were I writing in neo-cyber his pronouns would take up a paragraph. Shockwave has as many, if not more, but he will answer to literally anything if it’s logical that you’re talking to him.

Meanwhile, Megatron is proving a POINT by being in charge despite having miner pronouns. He could claim warlord pronouns. He could claim city-state ruler pronouns. He could even claim gladiator pronouns. If he catches you using any of them for him, you’re getting yeeted. Or having Ravage yeeted at you.

So basically, a pronoun has a lot of information packed into it for Cybertronians. It tells you someone’s caste, their job/ function in society, and maybe even their frame type.****

—

* In the future of the universe, Kup confuses the fuck out of people because he will use the primal pronoun interchangeably with child pronouns for Rodimus. That is very unacceptable.

**Optimus: if you're gonna misgender me can't you just use my old pronouns? I miss them :(

*** Ratchet has given himself every signifier because he will not be contained.+

+ Ratchet: my pronouns are “get on my table and let me make sure you’re not going to die”

**** And, in Starscream’s case, that he’s insufferable. It’s in the subtext.

[house-of-cyn]

Spectre looked down at TessCyn. She looked different than she did at the manor, with shorter hair and a long trench coat over a textured vest and pants.

"Look what has become of you. I suppose it's fitting, after all that's happened."

She crouched down beside the drone and said, "Tell me. Is the real Cyn still in there?"

(It's been a bit. Hoping I still got the lore and all that right.)

SYS//: fuelles_souffrantes = TRUE Cycle Loop = Two (2)

There seemed to be no reaction at first, the constant jittering and twitching of TessCyn's debilitated state the only real indicator of anything as the tune coming from her continued to play on. Tendrils writhed and coiled onto themselves again and again in a clear sign of discomfort as the drone's visor streaked flashes of light blue. The text on-screen then changes.
