second half of @small-witch-big-hat 's comm!! :D lovely miss Slagheap. As per her Lore, she's a failed clone of Grimlock, so I wanted to keep aspects of his design while making her unique too. She's a follow up to her humanformer design!

Here Everything is Poison

By J. Malcolm Garcia, Photography by Darren McCollester

Fall 2010

Cold winds carry lead-filled dust from a nearby slagheap, a hundred million tonnes of toxic tailings, and scatter it on clothes hanging from laundry lines, on open buckets of drinking water, on the dirt children play in, and on the feral dogs running down alleys in this former French army barracks housing about 250 displaced Roma men, women, and children.

Hi! I want to add to the soft vs dark villains conversation.

I think it's a bless that we have fics with more silly, cartoony/larger than life takes on the Rogues because the canon is getting unreasonably dark and gory these days (I'm looking at you, Tom King, but also Matt Reeves, I guess), and so a different approach can be very wellcome and refreshing. I mean, c'mon, they are called costume villains for a reason. :)

The thing is that there is SO much canon across DC for the Gotham Rogues that you can basically have your cake and eat it whichever way ye like!

The only issues (in my opinion) come when folk decide that A) their take is the ONLY valid version on a character B) they try to argue that one obscure bit of canon utterly overshadows the 'general' canon C) when they make assumptions about people based on their preference for goofy/dark content.

At that point you will be mentally branded as a dipshite and will then be unceremoniously flung onto the blocklist slagheap with all of the other dipshites.

Collecting specimens at the slagheap

[6-and-7]

Time Ramvent Day 17: Maggie and the Maggots It's Sylvester McCoy's 'The Green Death', where we Carry On Up the Shaft. It's the return of the Brig and Benton, a pointed critique of Margaret Thatcher, and a whole slagheap of innuendoes and single entendres.

Alt. versions, including flipped, aged, original title, and just the red and just the green, all below the cut.

dadboss, walking client to door after appointment: "one of my daughters is a lawyer..."

You do not have two daughters. You have one daughter, and three sons. Get it right, dadboss, you slagheap twit.
