Okay so basically the United States MINT of all people is going to be working with DC to make a line of coins! These coins sadly won't be in circulation (the things I would do to live in a world where I could get Batman coins from the supermarket) as they're collectors coins, but will be releasing over the course of the next 3 years, 2025-2027.
Designs haven't been released yet (the same is true for all 2025 designs) but we know there will be 9 coins in total (3 each year) with the first year featuring (of course!!!) Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman.
Although we know the first three heroes to be featured, the remaining six have yet to be decided, and it turns out the Mint is putting out a survey on their site to gauge which of a group of culturally significant heroes people want to see most! (link to the form is mentioned in the article above)
The considered group includes: Supergirl, the Flash, Green Arrow, Black Canary, Captain Marvel, John Stewart GL, Aquaman, Hawkman, Jamie Reyes BB, Robin (Damian?), Cyborg, and Batgirl, of which 6 will be selected.
As someone who does a bit of coin collecting myself (mainly circulation coins like the quarters sets, but I also have a couple proof and collectors coins) I think this is a really cool and interesting idea that showcases the history of the comics medium and these characters and their influence on American culture. Really excited to wait and see what the designs look like for the coins already announced!

Ay it's the anon from before and I'm back for round 2! I genuinely have so many little questions I am just gonna say sorry in advance lol.
2. Ok so how long do you plan for ASM:R to be? Right now it's at 66 chapters besides the info chapter and I'm curious what chapter you plan to end it on. I'm aware this is an odd question and if you do not at all know the answer that is fine!
Also mini question but what got you into metagala?
Enjoy my voice

I’ve worked it out that I def have the time+motivation to write after work, now I just need someone to aim me at smthn, so let’s turn to a poll:
And the tags:
Batcavers - a No Capes AU where the Waynes never died and Bruce got really into Cave & Bat conservation. The batfam (mostly) get summer jobs at his cave & hijinks ensue
Bookworm Rivals - A BabsRae, no powers/capes, rivals-to-lovers au. Babs is a Librarian, Rae is a bookshop keeper, can I make it anymore obvious?
Magic Fam - Constantine & Zatanna Adopt Raven & things go about as well as you should expect. These kind of AUs involving Constantine esp seemed to have blown up, but god do I still love mine
Night Forge - College Setting, no powers, the Night Force play DnD :)
Rook!Steph - me n Tee fucked around with the timeline a bit and now Helena n Renee have adopted Steph & are bringing her up as a vigilante 👏
Sirens Derby - exactly what it implies, no powers/capes, Sirens vs Birds roller derby
Zombie Robins - I’m working mostly off of iZombie science here, some of our Robins only return if they have a hunger for brains as well (main focuses are Steph, Jason n Damian for obvious reasons)
And hey if you’ve read this far, I’ll take a leap and link my ao3 here for ya too.

Hi, can you recommend some sapphic fantasy books that are not very in depth about politicking or war strategizing (I like those but I'm not in the headspace currently) and focus more on magical adventures, meeting strange creatures, fairytale like atmosphere etc?
I loved Girl Serpent Thorn, was hoping there is more like this. Thank you ✨
Oh yeah sure! man, I feel like when I try think about it, most high fantasy is some level of political (though maybe in YA it's not that in depth anyway)
I'm like, oh yeah, there's tons like girl serpent thorn! then i try to think of examples and I'm not sure actually haha. but here's a few that are not super political and more magic/adventure focused (as far as my memory goes), some have fairytale vibes, though aren't all super atmospheric (or strange creatures-y)
YA:
Girls Made of Snow and Glass (same author, a little less fairytale-y but snow white retelling)
The Mermaid The Witch and the Sea (atmospheric, magical adventure, mermaids)
The Midnight Lie (atmospheric, magic and gods)
Lucha of the Night Forest (spooky magical adventure)
Sweet & Bitter Magic (witchy magical journey)
Sofi And The Bone Song (magical journey, atmospheric)
The Midnight Girls (historical fantasy, monster girls)
The Name Bearer (magic, coming of age, adventure)
Ash/Huntress (magic/fairytale, adventures, fey)
The Never Tilting World (magical adventures)
Tell Me How It Ends (magical adventure)
The Deathless Girls (gothic fantasy, vampires, atmospheric)
(I feel like these are all pretty well known, so might not be that helpful)
Adult:
The only things that vaguely come to mind (and none quite have the same vibe) are: Spear (Nicola Griffith), In The Vanisher's Palace, Errant (L.K. Fleet), Burning Roses.....
There's gotta be more I'm forgetting haha. I feel like there's probably some in the adult fantasy/fairytale romance genre that might fit? a couple on my tbr are Thorn (Anna Burke) and Bitterthorn, maybe...
anyone else have suggestions????

anyone else have those moments when they realize that they'll be depressed forever. like there's no cure for this shit till you die. like fuck me every inch of this thing is made to inflict misery. and people always say, "do everything you can, it'll get better!" but it won't. I've sat and said, "it'll get better!" to myself for years and the only thing that has happened is me being even more stubborn in not giving in to my urges. wtf am i supposed to do Linda? snort your powdered concealer? suck your husband's dick? let you ignore me so i can slowly rot until you can sit at my funeral and cry and say, "she was such a nice girl, such a shame, nothing could have helped..." as if you gave a shit while i was alive? fuck no. have fun sucking your husband's dick, Linda.
it won't "get better" unless you help me, because I've done everything I can. and if you don't care, I'll just leave and find someone who does. i may be suicidal, but i sure as hell know that no one should be treated like this, and since that excludes everyone, that means me too. can't wait till I get on antidepressants.
