Since you're poking at DC twins, do you have any thoughts on Booster Gold and Goldstar? (Michael & Michelle Carter)

I'm a big fan of Michael and Miss Skeets Michelle Carter,,, I think (what is going on with their lore). I love that they have rhyme-y whime-y alliteration names as twins. As a fellow twin with rhyme-y whime-y names I respect the hustle and craft.

Happy -419th birthday to the Carter twins, and also to this image which I created in like 2008 and which still makes me laugh.

MICHELLE CARTER

Show it to me again. The death. And the rescue. The truth. The lie. One of them is real. And we both know which, don't we? I shouldn't be here. I shouldn't be alive.

Michelle 💛💛

their day their day!!!!

[wiihtigo]

i sent an ask sayinh "NELL DIED????" but then tumblr gavev me a scary error message so maybe it ate it... sorry if it didnt but NELL DIED?

SOB...YES.....I DIDNT WANT IT TO HAPPEN..!!! i encourage you to go knock down the door of @megamind2010 for more in depth answers about nell lore if youre a ladybughead.

but the basic deal is that this happens...later...sometime later. in their lives. ladybug following the proud blue beetle line of being exploded in action (i drew smthn inspired by the despair i feel when i think about this ^_^)

this affects casey really badly. ARE YOU SURPRISED..? DID YOU THINK SHE WAS HEARTLESS? so did I. mm basically she goes like catatonic immediately after (even through the funeral which michelle has to guide her to like she could float away at any second)

michelle is a supportive presence for her during this because shes like jeez idk she might kill herself im worried. and shes ALSO fucked up about nell dying bcuz she was involved in the same event ladybug was killed in (goldstars very first crisis event we;re so proud of her) and you know. shes never experienced the classic superhero experience of one of your hero peers dying horribly tragically. so her looking after casey is probably also her way of coping, like a way of keeping her hands busy because shes realizing hero work is actually kind of scary

shes only broken out of her 0__0 state by ..um. BOOSTER GOLD COMING OVER BECAUSE HE WAS LIKE MAN..SHOULD I SAY SOMETHING? (hes genuinely a little worried) (BUT NO DONT)

ive posted these before without context but this was the context LOL

seeing booster breaks the dam in her heart and all her feelings coming flooding out in form of crazy migraine inducing rage (im getting deja vu) and she throws shit at him screaming at him to GTFO and hes like crawling away with a broken nose OK good talk and ted and michelle are like WHY TF DID YOU DO THAT?and after that casey goes into the worst state of depression shes ever experienced in her life...ive mentioned in an ask before i think that she doesnt really get sad? when bad things happen to her she just gets angry. she never cries genuine tears. so the state she gets into here is really scarily jarring because its so fucking WEEEIRDLY OUT OF CHARACTER. she spends all day crying and whenever michelle comes over now she feels sick looking at her and she cries and cries and cries and whines that she doesnt want to see her she wants nell and she stays holed up in their apartment until shes kicked out because no ones paying rent and shes moves cities without saying a word to anyone. she only realized after she died that she actually did love (EW. sorry) nell and now she doesnt even have any way of knowing if they couldve done anythng with that. she hates booster more than ever she hates ted she cant talk to michelle anymore she hates gotham she hates her life she hates everything, eventually she does get a job in the film industry as like a screenwriter/editor but she hates that its not exactly what she wanted that shes just barely almost there and she should be excited to be so close to her goals but shes not so shes just this grouchy miserable (but good at her job!) woman that no one wants to talk to and then she dies. the end.

(but look-- here they are reunited in hell..!)

wehwwww SORRY FOR JUST COVERING CASEYS SIDE OF THINGS AND NOT NELLS....i figure youd get more juicy details if you ask marty :)

propaganda under the readmore

John Butcher: guy literally started as two written stories in a publication I didn't even know existed until I tried reading all his appearances. I think the only reason I know he existed is because I got like the last issue of his miniseries in a box of comics from an estate sale my aunt went to when I was in high school. I have only found one other issue of anything this guys been in on a whim literally 3 days ago while digging through a $.50 at my childhood comic shop. Like technically he exists in the nu52 iteration of Green Arrow but like they butchered his character so much it's not even really him. I firmly believe I am the only person that knows about this character besides the people who had to watch me weep while I read his miniseries.

Theresa “Trixie” Collins: She was Booster Gold’s receptionist and love interest (lol) back in the early days, but what I love so much about her is how weird she is. Her first scene is her making a business man apologize to her cat (that she adopts I guess?? But they stay in Booster Gold’s high rise office building?) or she will cancel his meeting. You can just tell that Dan Jurgens had a great time writing her. She has like 30 appearances ever.
