Hello! New to comics and I don't really feel like the New-52 comics are for me and would really like to read and understand Pre-flashpoint and all the dark and good stuff there. Is there an order or starting point you would recommend? Thanks for your time, and I hope you have a great day!

hi! i'm so glad you want to get into comics! i'd love to help with some recs! since you're here, i'm going to assume you're a Batfamily fan and most of my recs will cater to that, but i will try to encompass a bit of everything to help you just understand some big moments and all this mess that is DC canon. adding a cut bc jesus this got long.

so your starting point for pre-Flashpoint is going to be Crisis on Infinite Earths. the TLDR of this event is: DC had a big multiverse in the 70s and early 80s that wasn't friendly to new readers. to try to push their titles more and become a proper competitor to Marvel, they created an in-universe storyline that nuked the multiverse and gave a solid entry point for new fans going forward. this is why you hear terms like Pre-Crisis and Post-Crisis. it refers to the comics canon before and after this event, in 1985. some characters had some big changes (for example: pre-Crisis Jason Todd was a circus kid whose parents were killed by Killer Croc) but most remained largely the same, just simplified. you don't *have* to start with Crisis on Infinite Earths if you don't want to. it's a *good* storyline, but it's a big one and a lot of big multiverse-scale stuff happens. so as long as you understand it as "big event that nuked DC's multiverse and gave the world a clean slate in 1985", then you've basically got the gist. also Barry Allen dies during it, but he comes back so don't worry about it.

in general, if DC has some big timeline/canon-altering event, they're going to call it a Crisis Event. the only Crisis Events that will matter to you, trying to get into pre-Flashpoint are

Crisis On Infinite Earths - the above, starts the Post-Crisis/pre-Flashpoint timeline

Zero Hour: Crisis In Time - an event in the 90s that sought to fix some of the kinks that the above Crisis caused, like fixing the origins of the Legion of Superheroes and other Golden/Silver Age characters, not *super* important tbh

Infinite Crisis - this was a big event that brought back some characters who got nuked by Crisis on Infinite Earths, unfucked Power Girl's backstory, and set the groundwork to bring back the multiverse. if you've heard "Superboy Prime punched a hole in reality and it brought back Jason Todd" yeah, this is the story where it happened

Final Crisis - a big event that was partly meta commentary but heroes fought Darkseid, Batman died for a hot second, it was all a big deal about evil winning and all that

Flashpoint - the event that nuked this timeline, a big storyline to do with Flash and the timeline that would result in the New-52 in 2011

are you confused yet? good embrace the confusion it's going to become second nature of a comic fan. you don't need to read these events as a beginner. you really don't i promise. they'll sound big and important, but besides Crisis On Infinite Earths and Flashpoint, the start and end of this era, the rest you can just kind of breeze by so long as you understand the big plot points like Batman dying or Superboy Prime punching reality. unless you really care about a character central to these stories, skip 'em for now.

now for any character, if they have a Year One comic? that is a very safe bet as a place to start. it is what it sounds like. Batman: Year One is going to be Bruce's first year as Batman. same as Green Arrow: Year One, Batgirl: Year One, etc. when in doubt, if there's a Year One, start with Year One. (note: for Superman, his "year one" type story is called Superman: Birthright and it is worth reading if you like Superman)

for Batman, i am holding you by the shoulders when i say this: people will tell you to read The Killing Joke. they're liars. do not listen to them. it's a bad story. you don't need it. do not let the Joker fanboys lie to you. people will also say Dark Knight Returns. don't listen to *them* either. i *like* DKR, i talk about it a lot here. it's not a good intro to Batman. it's an AU story, it's not canon, ignore it for now.

now where you *should* start with Batman, imo, is as followed

Batman: Year One - as said above, Year Ones are good, this is solid to start with

Batman: The Long Halloween - this is an iconic story and it's a followup to year One

Batman: Dark Legacy - the followup to Long Halloween, also a very good story

Batman: Hush - this story is a solid starter if you want to understand the general vibe of Gotham, the typical characters you see in the Batfamily, and a good Batman villain

once you've got the basics down, you *can* get into the big boy storylines like Batman: Knightfall and Batman: No Man's Land, but don't worry about those right now. they're long and complicated and shouldn't really be your starting point no matter how good they are.

other very good pre-Flashpoint comics that are easy to pick up and iconic storylines

Death of Superman - this is a long arc in the Superman run that if you collect in trades, goes Death of Superman, Funeral For A Friend, Reign of the Supermen, Return of Superman, Doomsday. it's long, but a very iconic storyline

Wonder Woman by George Perez - this the run that helped define modern Wonder Woman within the pre-Flashpoint era

JLA: Year One - if you want a good Justice League story where you get characters besides Batman, Wonder Woman, and Superman taking the shine, this is a great place to start

Green Arrow by Mike Grell - start with Green Arrow: The Longbow Hunters and then go into Green Arrow (1988). this has the darker, very 80s vibes that gets a bit gritty and very realistic with the issues it faces bc Green Arrow comics tend to be more rooted

The New Teen Titans by Marv Wolfman - this technically starts before pre-Flashpoint, don't worry about it it's fine. a good run for all of these characters, can get a little confusing, it is okay to be confused do not be afraid to google shit

so, some big stories out of the way i'm just. honestly going to run down the line of the major pre-Flashpoint Batfamily members and give you comic recs for them that you can start with. (besides Bruce obviously, bc well. see above)

there are other very important pre-Flashpoint stories for all of these characters, but these are starting points more than anything. figure out what characters you're interested and go from there. understanding the universe at large helps, do not get me wrong. but at the end of the day, comics are a choose your own adventure of who you want to give a shit about. you're *never* going to read everything "important" and you're probably not going to understand everything. that's okay. don't treat it like a media you need to "complete" like a tv show or a movie, but more like an open world game where you decide what characters/teams/stories you like the most.

pre-Flashpoint covers a lot of ground. some stuff will be darker and grittier, some stuff will be more light-hearted. it will all be about what titles you pick up and what characters you decide you want to read about. you're obviously going to get a much more grounded storyline out of Green Arrow than you are say, a JLA comic. i prefer the more grounded, "street level" sorts of characters. (if you like gritty detective stories, i will be biased and highly recommend the Question (1987) just because. i love him okay.) but you might find you like sometimes more worldly and big scale. at the end of the day: don't force yourself to love a comic you're not enjoying, even if you like that character. you can put that shit down. sometimes, "important stories" are by shitty writers that you won't enjoy reading and you shouldn't make this hobby a chore. i don't care how "critically acclaimed" it is, you don't have to like it if it doesn't click for you. and on the flipside, a comic might be considered "bad" but you may enjoy it (a personal example: Robin III: Cry of the Huntress is considered a very weak comic. don't care. i love it anyway.) accept the cringe, have fun, and enjoy yourself at the end of the day. none of it will make sense anyway so just read what sounds cool to you.

this was all over the place and rambly, but i hope it helps at least a little! welcome to comics anon! if you or anyone else would like more character-specific recs, feel free to ask! if i don't know, i can at the very least hopefully point you in the right direction <3

im going to kill u with rocks the the ireland slander i cant and u dare u DARE put us in the same sentence as britain ohgbhuv im throwing up crying wha vthis is too far dude too far whygfv who how could you who r you id oant know you

listen i get that you hate britain and hate to be paired up with them. but also. i have spent literal months in ireland and lemme tell you your typical/traditional foods are stale and boring as fuck. I didn't like the taste of gravy which meant that my food was even more flavorless than usual which is pretty concerning if your main way to add taste is by adding a singular type of sauce

fish and chips are good tho

*walks in with shades and slides you two femurs and a tibia*

If SuperBrainDead were to sleep together, Kon would be spooning Tim, while Danny would be spooning Kon. BECAUSE if Tim sleeps in the middle of these two hunks, he's be feeling warm tempuratures on one side and cold tempuratures on the other.

BUT once it's summer, Tim is spooned by Danny, and Danny is spooned by Kon.

*pays your ecto-coffee and walks out of inbox diner*

*snatches the bones at near light speed*

Your offering is appreciated.

I’m just picturing Tim trying his best to get OUT of the cuddling during summer and curling up towards Danny. Danny is nice and cool even during summer but Kon? Kon is a living furnace. Dude photosynthesizes for god sake, this bitch would radiate heat like nobody’s business. Both Kon and Danny wanna cuddle but Tim is now sandwiched between someone incredibly hot and someone incredibly chilly. He just wants his seasonal bf cuddles please and thank you.

This is just glorious. The main issue is that both boys very much so wanna cuddle Tim. He’s perfect cuddling size. They just wanna hold him. It is cute to see Tim half awake and try to bap away the non seasonal bf to grumpily move over and have the Correct Seasonal Boyfriend™️ just drape over Tim like a koala.

Actually-

Bro what the fuck is that one scene from Hot Shots? That one where the protagonist grills an entire ass breakfast on his love interests stomach? If ANY of you know what I’m talking about, that scene is for some reason just sticking in my brain thinking about Kon being very warm.

What if they test it out one day? You know those vids where people cook eggs or cookies in their car in very hot parts of the world? Yeah it’s that but Kon using a tanning screen on the top of the Daily Planet. Tim and Danny have a cooler filled with shit they wanna try to cook on Kon. The pure fucking bafflement Dick must have gotten when he was FaceTimed by an excited Tim and Danny whooping and cheering, only to realize that it was because they successfully cooked bacon and eggs on Connor bc of how hot he got from photosynthesizing? Yeah that’s one of those calls that make you have to ponder your existence for a few days.

Sorry that your ask for rapidly derailed but I wished to share my crack idea.

[steelycunt]

helloooo ridi. I have been thinking about young r/s a lot and I know that you describe them (especially s) as being "strange" about the other before they ever talked about their feelings and I wanted to ask if you had any examples that come to mind

hiiii love!! yah absolutely!! predicting my own too-long rambling response 2 this by adding a cut straight away but. i do have thoughts :^)

obviously usual disclaimer that this is. speculation this is my headcanon and in answering im probably going to take for granted a lot of insights into the general mwpp dynamic that other people might (and are free to) disagree with xx but for me personally!! i am one for them always sensing that their feelings towards each other r a little strange compared to their other friendships within the group long before they manage to identify romantic feelings from platonic ones or just generally understand what it is they feel for each other. n im going to go mostly with s here because i think a good way of laying it out is by contrasting it with the way i view his dynamic with j, although for the record i definitely imagine r to always feel a little strange towards s too.

i do genuinely think s loved j in a way that is perhaps. pointless to label as either platonic or romantic but in a way that was very different to the way he felt about r and i think. that difference at first is all he's aware of. he meets j and they are a double-act they're a two-headed monster they're each other's phantom limb they're thick as thieves they're more than brothers but i think immediately his dynamic and his closeness with r are very different and thus strange to him. they are not a double-act. he does not always know what r is thinking (although he wants to). their intimacy feels strange because it is not intimacy as a product of like. familiarity or similarity the way his intimacy with james is (horribly clumsy way of wording that but hopefully you can make some sense of it). i wouldn't necessarily go as far as to call them opposites because i think in a lot of ways they aren't, at all, but to me it is the difference between sitting next to someone at a table (j) and sitting across from them (r).

and i think the uncertainty when it comes 2 his relationship with r and his feelings about r mean that he sort of craves it more yknow (especially because he. unconsciously thinks a close relationship with r is infinitely worth earning). he seeks it out. r can make him uncomfortable and he likes that. i think he would go out of his way to make r laugh i think he would get a certain sense of triumph out of accomplishing it that he wouldnt look for/need with james. r's general aura of strange wistfulness and melancholy also contributes to this (and this is partly why i hesitate to position them as opposites) because although their experiences are so so different there is an understanding of. suffering? trauma? whatever you would like to call it that s can get from r that james (although he is very loving) just cannot provide because he has not experienced that. the discussions he has with r are not the same ones he has with j. the fact that r is more difficult to get close 2 and to make smile etc makes s want to try harder to accomplish it. and he wouldnt necessarily recognise that in himself but i do think if he tells a joke and everyone laughs he is conscious of the fact that he gets the most reward from having made r laugh. and not only that but he wants the person who makes r laugh to be him.

i do also think he is just. softer about r. whether or not he realizes it or whether he thinks his softness is just a result of r seeming more melancholy to him than the others/post-lycanthropy discovery just feeling the need (rightly or wrongly) to be more protective over him. like they are twelve n s will playfight and roughhouse j all day for fun but with r he will only ever. pretend to do it or mime doing it or do it very gently not just because r is generally in worse health but also because the idea of accidentally actually hurting r is genuinely very distressing to him. also touching him a lot probably also make s' stomach hurt and makes him go all sweaty and light-headed for reasons he doesn't want to explore. idk i am sure this has gotten far too long by now but i think. the strangeness is best felt by both of them when comparing how they feel about each other with how they feel about their other friends. its an intimacy that does not even resemble anything brotherly or familial and at their young age that is what they think it means to be friends with someone. it is not comparable with anyone else it is not as easily labelled it is full of hesitations and private moments and give and take and it trembles and it shapeshifts and it doesn't let anyone else in. there is essentially a private joke between them, except neither of them are in on it.

Ah.

Another advice ask😓

Yall i appreciate that some of you feel comfortable asking me for relationship advice or that you might be comfortable here since im an anonymous stranger etc

HOWEVER, let me be straight up honest with you— i havent ever been in an actual relationship, im a MAJOR shut in so i’m not at all up to date with all the minutiae of the queer community, full on i have averaged leaving the house one (1) single time PER MONTH for the last FIVE months

I do not want to give you bad/naive/shortsighted advice

And i promise you do not want my bad advice

I am begging you Please do not ask me for advice i am so stressed

[borathae]

Sibi😉 how about some intense belly bulging of jimin by oc when he tell her about his craving of submission and the oc gladly full fill it but quite surprised to know his desire😜😁

Ooh okay okay I see the vision 👀 the thing is, he has a very bad relationship with sex, especially anal sex, so I can only see that happening very far into the future when he healed like very very well (i'm sorry my horny besties but Sanguis!Jimin is very dear to me and he has so much trauma like I can't just picture him liking sex at all in his current state)

I had this pitbull mix or SMTH when I was a kid. He helped me through my toughest times and was the reason why I managed to fight my dad back. I called him Musashi because I thought that was how Musubi was spelled back them. Names stuck tho. He got too sick for me to take care of so I gave him to Dragona and Dragona told me they sent him to a farm in New Jersey that their grandad owned bc fresh air would make him better or SMTH. I heard he likes to run in the fields. IM missing him alot RN I wonder how hes doing. Apparently theres no cell or internet there or whatever so I get letters and pics from the grandad sometimes. Musashi looks so happy & Healthy FR Im gonna get rich so I can visit my dog one day.

Recently, I've seen the take going around that you can't be, say, kistunekin and Japanese-American, or faekin and Irish, etc. because it's just you as a human from an ethnic group projecting onto a cultural concept that's meaningful to you and mistaking that for a kintype when it's not. At the risk of starting drama, I am here to ask how one would tell the difference between projecting onto a cultural concept and being 'kin? Asking for a me.

..........Well, I've certainly heard the idea that you can't be [x] without being from [y linked culture] (because that's "cultural appropriation," even when it's... not), but this is the first time I've heard the opposite! Guess nobody's allowed to be a creature from a specific mythos at all anymore lmao

Genuinely I do not know what to tell you other than that is a fucking bonkers thing to say to someone, where the fuck are you hearing this, what wild circle of alterhuman drama am I missing out on. We have graduated from "You can't kin outside your race" to "You can only kin outside your race," what the genuine actual fuck, oh my gods I have been laughing about this for ten minutes now

*deep breath* Okay, sorry, sorry, I'm taking this seriously, I promise.

I am genuinely sorry that you have apparently been made to feel like you're not allowed to have a kintype from within your own culture, but - seriously, genuinely, I need you to understand that that is a RIDICULOUS thing for these people to have said, even by alterhuman drama standards, What The Fuck. There is no reason on God's green earth that you would have to be any more careful about mistaking "projecting onto a cultural concept" for a kintype than literally anyone else would be - like, that's a normal part of the questioning process, "is this actually a kintype or is it something else".

(To which the answer unfortunately is basically "nobody can tell you that except you," typically by answering questions like "does it make me happier to be seen as/referred to as [x]" and "does it feel deeply, intrinsically Right to imagine myself as [x]", etc.)

Hopefully that's at least comforting, if not especially helpful?

Need to see if he's still the Beatles of cumming too quick

Oh man. If he is, we could work with that.

One, someone must be doing something right if he’s cumming too quick or before he intends to.

Two, imagine edging him to perhaps divert the too soon. OR keep fucking going. Work him up into a second one, or just keep going after that. Make it one hell of a night. Not only that, even if he does cum too soon, who’s to say he can’t finish what’s been started for the other party. 🤷🏻

Y'know, looking back at all the fanart of Joker with Kirby or Inkling when he was first announced in Smash it's pretty funny to me in insight since both the Kirby and Splatoon series unironically have something that Persona doesn't: actual good LGBT representation.

bruh, I didn't know Kirby and Splatoon had lgbt in it 👀 (though, now I guess I understand why my friend's sibling calls it yasstoon huh)

and about good lgbt rep hmm, like p2 has a canonical bisexual relationship, p3 with hamuko's route, p4 and all of that, like i guess... what makes representation good? is it making the rep explicit, named, known? is it a specific portrayal? is the representation about palatability?

this isn't a dig or whatever, it's something that I genuinely think about all the time, esp as someone who likes to create for fandom and for personal projects. representation does matter, of course. but sometimes i'm wondering if we're so caught up in the representation checklist aspect, that we are constrained in our own storytelling. what makes xyz better rep than abc of another thing? can we not just have it all, and choose for ourselves what we personally like and what we don't? obviously, there's a whole lot of nuance to this topic. like, of course i wish persona had more gentleness towards queerness, of course i want to play a protagonist with more freedom. but those are my personal feelings, and I'm not Atlus. what I CAN do is create fanworks to satisfy myself, or seek lgbt rep elsewhere that suits my desire (which, I want to say is so much more accessible now! go ham! the internet is your oyster :D)

i apologize for how wordy and serious this answer(?) is, esp when i'm sure your ask was phrased in a more humorous way kdlfjalsdj but I guess this reminded me feelings and thoughts about representation, and how that plays into my life
