Free him from that cape ‼️🔥

sending Damian Wayne to the Cissie king jones school of being a retired vigilante

I'm frustrated that there's no more young justice so I made my own one-shot :)

hearts & stars & committing acts of dykery

Totally agree, let the girl wear something not made to be marketable for once 😭

ALSO (archers note rq) if she's shooting in it, loose sleeves like hoodies or baggy shirts will catch on the string, negatively impacting her shot. If you've got loose sleeves, somebody usually tells you to try to clip it back on your bow arm.

With that in mind, I'd love to see post-retirement Cissie wear more baggy clothing as a little detail to show she's not constantly in sporting or vigilante mode. She loves archery but it doesn't have to consume her life, and her wardrobe reflects this.

Arrowette is so often forgotten, that anytime I see her actually appear in art I go absolutely feral. She's probably my favourite yj character after Tim, but it's impossible to truly obsess over her with so little depiction of her character, especially in canon. That said, I saw a fanart posted recently that made me think of this, so I'm talking about Cissie's costumes!

As iconic as her 90's mini skirt and crop top are, could she maybe wear pants? Just once in a while? We know her mom really influenced her costume, and she retired from hero-ing before she really got any distance from her, but if she had, (@packagedglass I'm adopting your hc) she should get to try softer colors, true archers clothes, or something more like her civvies, just clothes that feel more like her, rather than what her mom forced her into. Give her a loose top and pants covered in pockets, filled with arrow attachments and extra strings and anything else she could want. Let her try one of Robin's extra masks, or Cassie's old goggles. Let her try darker colors and practice being stealthy. Let her be her.

oh, archer characters allergic to not wearing crop-tops (both in AND out of costume) how I love you <3

Bow and Cissie, they can pry you out of my cold dead hands

Honorable mentions to Connor Hawke because he seems to be able to live without it, but rocks it anyway. 80's Bow because it's technically the same guy but diff look. And to Hanzo Overwatch because he's also doing half-shirt, but vertical. And I think that's very admirable.

Something YJ got right with Cissie regarding archers is the scene where she splits an arrow and some guy is screaming "SHE DID A ROBIN HOOD!!" because as an archer I can confirm that's exactly how we act and precisely what we yell when somebody does that (followed by tears over the loss of 1-2 expensive arrows) we really are all there to make the same 5 jokes and that's ok <3

(This week on my overly specific comic nitpicks) This accuracy overrides the fact they're claiming Olympic qualifying distance is 25m, because I truly can not overstate how laughably different that is to the 70m Olympians actually shoot.

[magnusarowette]

YES but specifically it needs to have a scene of Tim chewing out some high school boys for also wanting to get pregnant, à la issue #61. Need Ives going "Yeah Josh had a little girl and he says it totally rocks!" and Tim goes on one of his corporate sounding PSA's where he really sorts out those troubled youths.

Also both girls who're excited about teen pregnancy being black, and being "set straight" by their mature white peer does NOT escape my notice. DC writers striking again bro :/

tim drake mpreg. reblog if you agree 🤪

Go for it girl, hit him with ur car 🔥

making cookies bc i just got told beating tim drake to death would be considered a hate crime

Specific Invincible comic nitpick of the day-

Big missed opportunity regarding Terra Grayson is her superhero suit. Terra is both Mark and Eves daughter, and while it's represented in her look, I think they fumbled Eve's side by not giving her a cape :(

The Mark aspect is well showcased, maybe a little overdone. She's living up to her fathers superhero legacy, mostly just emulating his outfit with tweaks to the iconic "i" sort of similar to Marky's changes.

She also does something I think is important: Makes it her own in a way that isn't just combining her parents looks. Terra dons big, athletic-style frameless shield sunglasses which are uniquely hers, and really bring to mind her youth.

The Eve side of things was a letdown. The writers went "how do we make it Eve-esque and remind the readers that she's a GIRL? oh yeah, stick her in a leotard!" And it's so disappointing because leotard costumes suck, and Eve's cape is right there! The cape which Terra specifically points out is cute, and says is something she likes and wants! It'd be a callback to her childhood and would be waaayyyy better than giving her the stupidity which is leotard bare-leg costumes. I just think it's a much better way to represent that she's every bit Eve's child, as she is Marks.

RIP version of Terra Grayson that has a cape, if only you existed.

In the show maybe I wouldn't mind, the shorts would be sporty in a way that match her glasses. But that should be in addition to a cape. But a girl can only dream about her hyper specific nitpicks, which are really not that important.

THIS! And I'm so salty about it, I'm about to make a post of every one of her comic outfits on my blog, because they STOLE HER SERVE! STOLE IT! And we need to reclaim it. I hope so badly that in future seasons she gets better outfits as she grows because this was a rare adaptation L

No one is talking about the de-cunt-ification of Atom Eve cause one of the few worse things about the Invincible show vs the comics is Eve only has one outfit per season, and the ones they do give her are fine, not amazing, but not hideous (ok maybe that season 1 shirt is very, very yellow). But comic Eve, what a fashion icon.

[magnusarowette]

Atom Eve in my style and also she's y2k sailor core because as much as i love Invincible, they suck at making cool fashions.

Eve Fashion Archive 🩳👚👖👗🩱

I MADE SOMETHING! ALL OF EVES COMIC OUTFITS ON A DOC!

I love Eve's comic outfits! I like them a lot, actually. I think they're very cute, feminine, pink and there's a little more detail than comic artists generally care to give. And they got a lot better as time went on, the early ones are fiiiiine, but I like them best after #20. So I've been working on making an archive? Compendium? Collection? Of every single one of her 100+ civilian outfits, and I just finished it! It's in a google doc, there's a few photos of each (some were difficult to get good angles of) and they're all labeled with the Issue # underneath🩷💫 Keep in mind that while I tried to only get her outfits in the photos, there may be accidental spoilers in the background! So if you're a show watcher or just not up to date on the comics, be cautious, especially because Eve wears a lot more civilian outfits further into things.

I'm probably going to make it into a tumblr post (or a few? I don't know for sure if it'll fit all the photos) and maybe do rankings on my blog, and highlight my favourites. There's only civilian outfits (so none of her superhero fit, uniform or special armour suits) and I think there's 109 total.

Also planning on making an entirely separate doc dedicated to just her earrings, because good lord does that woman own/magically create a LOT of earrings, which I don't feel is fully showcased here.

Probably won't do Mark! He's awesome, but he also didn't wear an interesting outfit until he moved to space.

Anyway that's all, I hope somebody out there cares even a tiny bit as much about this as me, maybe an artist who wants to draw her and needs reverences, or somebody as overly obsessed as me. Enjoy <3

OMG EVE MY QUEEN 🩷💫⚔️

[magnusarowette]

Eve RAAAAAGHh‼️🦅🦅🦅🦅

Uhh what to caption

[magnusarowette]

It's so embarrassing refusing to watch a show that people keep recommending to you, and then you finally watch it and it's literally as good as they said it was. Goddamnit :(

[magnusarowette]

High key missing Eve's comic outfits in the show. Like, I love that they're rewriting their female characters and trying to make them less 1 dimensional and stereotypical. Buuuuuut can't Eve do all that and still rock her feminine, almost always pink, fashionable looks in civilian wear.

2 examples of her peak outfits

I fear these pale in comparison.

I know Eve wasn't dressed to the nines literally every issue, but I always liked how they kept her wardrobe largely pink and green, she had a signature look and it was unmistakably hers. I'm probably the only person who cares very much about this, if at all, but I always love looking at the fashion in media. Omg don't get me started on how they stole her earrings though, that's a whole other thing.

peer pressured into a club event and now peer pressured into missing a good chunk of my favourite and most important class for said event. what if i throw myself into an oubliette
