Are you at all excited for the upcoming Absolute Martian Manhunter book later this year? It'll be the most high-profile launch J'onn has been a part of for a long while, being DC's attempt at an "Ultimate Marvel" line. Given how the approach seems to be defined by removing elements of the characters' status quo - Superman has no Krypton tech, Batman is not a billionaire, Wonder Woman is the last of the Amazons etc. - I think there's a very real possibility that for J'onn they'd pivot in the opposite direction and give us a living Martian society. If only because J'onn has so little anyway, there's not as much to remove as with other members of the League, so the logical thing would be adding something back in to shake things up. I'm personally hoping for some combination of Weird and Noir.

I'm absolutely (heh) excited for it (because a new refreshing change even in an elseworld story is exactly what J'onn needs right now!) but also cautious and,,, concerned. DC's revealed the Absolute gimmicks for just about all the other solo supers but J'onn is essentially still a rumor? What's going on there? I was also concerned when Superman's Absolute gimmick was supposedly "he'll be more alien than human" "he doesn't have a fortress of solitude, no Kents, etc" which,,, sounds a lot like J'onn tbh but we'll have to wait and see. Sometimes writers do this thing where they try to do something new with Superman and it's just re-worked J'onn lore. And J'onn lore is fundamentally flawed so in turn that take on Superman doesn't work, but that's just me with early concerns.

Ooh! That's a good point actually! That feels like the most logical shakeup they could do, and YJa helped warm people up to the idea of a living Mars (which I also agree would spice things up and differentiate J'onn from Clark more). And I'd absolutely (heh) love more supernatural-weird-noir for J'onn! We finally had J'onn play into being a martian detective in the 2019 Identity run, but it was more cop drama than detective noir which I would love to see. My only addendum to the idea of a living Mars as an Absolute gimmick is, since YJa popularized this already, what else will this take do to innovate on that idea? My personal wish list is:

Revitalize J'onn's cast system (a mix of old and brand new characters. Don't just make him watch tv to care about humans. Give this martian relationships!!)

Figure out his themes outside of grief!! (I love sad Martian man but he needs to do more than that! It's been stagnating his character)

No Justice League stuff or other superhero cameos/team ups. (J'onn NEEDS to prove he can stand on his own as a solo character so he can stop being pigeonholed as the League's heart or therapist.)

Fresh new take on Martian world building (please get rid of Martian racism, it's dumb and never made sense. It's a shapeshifting society and the idea of characters like M'gann essentially "greenfacing" to "pass" is so weird)

Critical reimagining of J'onn's relationship to justice (we need to get rid of or critically examine his relationship to copaganda.)

Integrate Blackness more thoroughly into his character (CW Supergirl and that one Nubia Coronation special comic are still the only takes that have done this. Come on guys!!)

More thorough reflection of J'onn's multiple identities (undoubtedly what makes J'onn special. But the comics rarely dig into what it means for J'onn to be multiple people. I would love it if his identities [especially the racialized ones] weren't treated as so,,,disposable.)

Ma'alefa'ak please (I just want to see him again I don't even care if they do a bad job. However all I ask is he be a green martian and J'onn's twin again. And a slutty design.)

The last time we saw a big overhaul to J'onn's character was the New 52, and the major flaw of that run was that it had no clear thematic intention to how it interpreted his character. So we ended up with just a bunch of references and a convoluted edgy story that doesn't help J'onn become a self sustaining solo character. The Absolute line is the perfect platform to revitalize him as a character, but I hope the writers can think in the long term to combat his foundational issues.

Uh oh, Steve’s in trouble…

Honestly I just wanted to draw Darry lifting anyone in the gang like that because I saw a pose ref (I ended up mixing a bunch of refs so I’m not linking it here, it’s vastly different) and thought it was funny in like an…idk sad wet cat kinda way. I was gonna draw Dally being the sad-wet-cat- we’ve already established that I think shoving him is funny, so this isn’t a stretch-but Steve is the one who canonically pissed Darry off, so it fit best for it to be him I guess.

also lookit it’s my first time drawing Darry! Now I’ve officially drawn the whole gang, although admittedly the only drawing of Ponyboy that I’ve posted has him covering his face lol. Don’t worry, I’ll post a nicer drawing of him eventually…

honestly one of my favorite things about the ava fandom is how many different gender headcanons there are. five different people will all have completely different interpretations of a character’s gender. can’t get this anywhere else

No no guys you don't get it what makes ritsu and reigen's dynamic so funny is the fact that it's not equal in hatred. Ritsu blows reigen up with his mind and throws underhanded jabs at him. Reigen had met him like twice and defaults to treating him like a slightly younger mob. Ritsu hates this, reigen is increasingly bewildered as to why his infinite charm has no effect on this prickly thirteen year old. THE BULLYING IS ONE SIDED THAT'S WHY ITS FUNNY

You have no idea how much I enjoyed today's episode! I SAID TAKABA WOULD SAVE THE DAY!!!!

Jokes aside, reading the chapter I noticed something that could be material for a new headcanon!

There's a panel where Takaba says that he was a serious kid and that he started doing comedy because he wanted people to see that he was a nice person-or something. This reminded me of the first time he met Megumi, where he stated that he "knows when a person is good or bad, even though you seem like a bad person". He later adds that Megumi "looks like a bad person" (and considering that he just killed someone, it's understandable), but Takaba still decides to help Megs and later helps Yuji find him.

So here is my headcanon.

Takaba didn't help Megumi just because he had a screw loose, but because he saw in the boy something he was in his past - a good boy who seemed like someone bad. And that's really cute in my opinion.

i do always think it's really funny how fnaf will just. do alternate timeliness where certain characters just don't exist. like how, aside from elizabeth, there's no evidence of william's kids existing in the silver eyes timeline. and how there's no sign of henry in the movie timeline, among other characters. or how we don't know if sammy existed in the game timeline. and how cassidy only seems like she exists in the game timeline.

idk if this is controversial or not, but you can interpret queer subtext in songs/shows/films without speculating about the creator’s sexuality. there isn’t ONE single way to interpret a piece of media. they’re made for people to enjoy and relate to

“…Dark Choco Cookie? Is that you?”

“I haven’t seen you since you were freshly baked, look at you now.”

“You look so much like your father.”

So after watching the cutscene on YouTube where Pure Vanilla Cookie gets put in a jar, I was thinking about a potential fanfic scenario where Pure Vanilla notices Dark Choco and recognizes him, unaware that he’s working for Dark Enchantress Cookie, and it catches Dark Choco off guard

Or instead of being a direct rendition of that scene, it’s a separate scene where only Pure Vanilla and Dark Choco are present, where Dark Choco may or may not betray him when the others put him in a jar. Maybe it leads to Dark Choco rethinking things and betraying the CoD? Or perhaps a scenario where Dark Choco already betrayed the Cookies of Darkness, and this is just Pure Vanilla after regaining his memories and finally recognizing him.

I dunno, I’m still only on Episode 9, so I don’t have the full knowledge of how all this works

But yeah, just an idea I had. I would like a fanfic where Pure Vanilla and Dark Choco bond, and maybe Dark Choco redemption during Episodes 9-10. I’m not sure if there are any fanfics about that, the Dark Choco redemptions I tend to look for typically involve Dark Cacao Cookie instead, but I would like to see it regardless
