ones ive collected so far:

austin powers: bisexual. the most bisexual person you'll ever meet actually. yowzers.

dr. evil: aromantic. not asexual, but he also doesn't have sex on the forefront a lot just because he's too busy trying to take over the world

scott evil: aroace. perhaps a lil bit of transmasc swag too

felicity: bisexual with a heavy preference for women

the fembots: lesbians. i have my reasonings

frau farbissina: canon that she slept with both men and women but i dont count dr. evil because he had austin's mojo at the time so. kind of an aphrodesiac. plus she said she'd never love a man again so. woe. lesbian beam be upon her and her girlfriend

number two: gay. why else would you be a henchmen for another man for four decades and take care of his son. crazy stuff

jerry springer: homophobic

i need to make a post / some notes fully detailing my austin powers sexuality headcanons..

[cyber-corp]

austin powers is the movie trilogy of all time. sexpest spy from sexual revolution-era britain is frozen and comes back in the 90s to stop a bald guy named "dr. evil" who appears on the jerry springer show with his son in the sequel. despite sexpest spy being a sexpest, he still has high enough standards to not shag a drunk woman. the plot of the second movie involves dr. evil time travelling to extract libido from sexpest's dick. also mike myers plays like four characters throughout the trilogy, and they all talk to each other. yeah baby.

Spider-Woman 37 (April 1981)

Chris Claremont/Steve Leialoha, Terry Austin, Bob Wiacek, Alan Weiss, Al Milgrom, Frank Springer & Walter Simonson (!)

Welcome back to my X-Men blog, where we read ROM: Spaceknight, Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four and wonder where it all went wrong. Also, apparently, Spider-Woman!

I tried to understand the history of the Jessica Drew/Spider-Woman character for this post and honestly I just gave up. As you can see from the fact that no fewer than seven people drew this issue, this title - introduced originally solely as a way of Marvel making sure nobody else created a Spider-Woman character - was a total mess, and at this point in time was briefly taken over by Chris Claremont, who used it, inevitably, as a way to start off some more X-Men storylines, which is why we're reading it. Also inevitably, he used the issue to fully rework Spider-Woman's backstory and the nature of her existence, which seems to be completely insane, but like I say, I give up. Go peruse the thriving Spider-Woman section of tumblr if you need the details.

What is funny about all this is that in the middle of it Nick Fury's girlfriend shows up for literally two panels, shows the reader her pussy, and leaves. Incredible.

That's all great but what the fuck does it have to do with the X-Men? Well, that's where the second half of this issue comes in. It's these fucking guys again.

When I say "these fucking guys", by the way, what I mean is that Black Tom and Cain Marko are absolutely, 100% fucking. Masc4masc as hell. Anyway, the new girl is Tom's niece which makes her...yep...Banshee's daughter. [Exaggerated Irish voice] Ah jaysus. Here we go again with these feckers.

Theresa - alias Siryn - has all her dad's powers but is apparently bad (for now) and a fight ensues, naturally: as you can see from the art, it's baffling and garish and presumably the result of seven artists trying to write one book. It doesn't improve when Juggernaut shows up.

The baddies get away, further showdown next time, yadda yadda. The bit of this issue I actually found interesting comes before the final fight and doesn't involve the X-Men-universe characters at all, but nevertheless.

Jessica goes to a party - she ends up kissing this David Ishima dude - and it's all extremely normal. Claremont was evidently doing some kind of complex reinvention of the character but he also managed to write fun, grounded, soapy scenes like this.

The reason I mention it is that this is exactly what Dazzler was aiming for - relatable, romantic, everyday stuff alongside the heroics. Dazzler mostly fails, but it's interesting to see something from the same period take a better stab at it.

[lesvegas]

My dad and I watched the Austin Powers movies a lot together when I was probably too young to be watching them, and it was only recently that he learned the Jerry Springer parody was like, barely even satire. He actually brought a KKK member onto the show back in 1997 resulting in a brawl, only marginally less insane than the movie scene. And he couldn't believe that shit actually happened and wasn't just an edgy joke. But what really gets me is my stepmom, whomst has been married to this man for over 10 years now, who has heard the two of us quote this same scene over and over again, actually saw this episode when it aired on TV and never once mentioned it.

New Demigod Cabin: The Horae (Seasons)

Greek mythology refers to multiple groups as Horae, a name associated with the passage of time. The main triad consists of Thallo or Thalatte(Spring), Auxo or Auxesia (Summer), and Carpo (Autumn). As goddesses of the seasons they are closely associated with agriculture and often accompany Persephone. The Horae are also associated with flowers and beauty and in ancient times were sometimes conflated with the Charites. Both groups are part of the retinue of Aphrodite, who is described as wearing clothes made by them. In art, the Horae are often joined by Chione, the snow goddess daughter of Boreas (god of the cold north wind) and Orithyia (mountain winds), who represents winter. The Horae's cabin is essentially three connected cabins radiating from a small atrium. Each section is themed around a specific season, and the room temperatures are all separate and don't mingle. There are lots of scented candles and sticks of incense with smells associated with the different seasons. In the atrium are an ice-cream cooler and snack bin filled with goodies that are limited-time seasonal flavors like pumpkin, peppermint, and smores. In fights demigod children of the Horae can use nature and the air around them to induce a strong allergy attack, making it difficult for their opponents to focus and coordinate. The more dust and pollen there are in the air, the stronger the attack is. A Horae demigod's powers are also amplified during the season their mother is associated with. But seasons are determined by the sun and its position in relation to earth, so these demigods are weakest during the night, in the underground, or indoors with no natural light.

BMW R80/7 de 1978 de Upcycle Motor Garage

Un aspecto impresionante no siempre significa una excelente experiencia de conducción, y esta BMW personalizada R80/7 de Upcycle Motor Garage, con sede en Austin, Texas, se ubica firmemente en la categoría de "motocicleta como arte".

La inspiración para la construcción surgió de un par de neumáticos de tractor Firestone de 16 pulgadas que el fundador de Upcycle, Johnny Nguyen, tenía en el taller. Un modelo R80/7 de 1978 resultó ser la combinación perfecta para los neumáticos, con Nguyen fabricando un nuevo bastidor rígido y conservando solo el tubo de dirección.

Se instaló una horquilla springer clásica de TC Bros. con una rueda delantera de 16 pulgadas de Harley-Davidson con aro cóncavo, y una rueda trasera con aro de radios Excel. La BMW airhead conserva sus carburadores Bing originales y la caja de aire de aleación, con un escape personalizado equipado con un silenciador de Werkes USA.

La creación de Nguyen está actualmente en subasta en Bring a Trailer.
