#yesterday's follow-up...

[oediex]

"Did you know," and I pause so my youngest sister can pause the video she's listening to while playing games on her iPad.

She has just arrived at my parents' and has brought the latest Yoko Tsuno comic album with her per my dad's request.

"Did you know that dad reads Yoko Tsuno?"

I immediately have her full attention. "No?! That came out of nowhere!"

"He messaged me yesterday," I say, "and I had to do a double take to check it was indeed him messaging me and not you."

"I practically fell off my couch when he messaged me," she laughs.

"Same," I reply. "So weird!"

The formula’s never finessed: Insta moots, dodgy pics, trashy press. The Sun shouts “Exclusive!” Which means it’s conclusive: Strictly business and strictly BS.

It can be -500 Degrees and Sportacus would still only put a scarf on for it. (Bonus <3 )

Very funny to me that not only does Ras' team know to come over even before he says anything, but of the Elemental Masters who arrive, one is an ancient warlord with no clear elemental power, one is a teenager with no elemental powers (secretly possessed by another ancient warlord with no clear elemental power), and the third is Cinder. Meanwhile he has two other elemental masters working for him (one who's also at the banquet!) who don't show up.

Okay obviously he wasn't gonna tip his hand with Jay but from Ras' perspective, Jordana just showed up to be part of the crew (and also it would be less impressive if he just had two people behind him).

I. PROMISE (REPRISE) - akira yamaoka [instrumental]

VII. IN THE WOODS SOMEWHERE - hozier my dearest love, i'm not done yet / how many years? I know i'll bear / i found something in the woods somewhere

VIII. PYRAMID SONG - radiohead i jumped in the river and what did i see? / black-eyed angels swam with me / a moon full of stars and astral cars / and all the figures i used to see

XIV. THE WAVES HAVE COME - chelsea wolfe the sun goes down / and everything begins to fade away / the waves have come and taken you to sea / never to return to me

XV. EPILOGUE - the antlers i've woken up, i'm in our bed, but there's no breathing body there beside me / someone must have taken you while i was stuck asleep / but i know better as my eyes adjust, you've been gone for quite a while now

i have a small feeling most of the people who like my posts live in a different timezone 🤨

[thenervousest]

the vulcans and romulans of ni’var talking about spock like a new version of surak (“the teachings of spock”) implies that kirk/spock could be the 32nd century equivalent of jesus/judas

Going to college as a nontraditional student with an office job is kinda funny bc now when a professor messes things up in a way that fucks me over instead of being like "omg this authority figure is so unfair 😭" I'm approaching it more with the vibe of like "if Karen from Accounting doesn't fix this mistake that's hindering my work after my third passive aggressive email I'm going to CC her boss"

If I made a show or comic about the Nerd Band/Knockoff Dork Squad (Bookworm, Ragdoll and Music Meister), i'd probably have it run for as long as I could ideally make it run. Mostly just so I can have each villain that I like make 15+ appearances. Also, my show would pick up with the pre-crisis dc universe of Earth-One, where Jason Todd is Batman's new Robin. So the batfamily is currently stuck in 1985 1984/1985 when my show begins. But the villains would be eclectically collected from across all the different comics, games, tv shows and movies. Also, this show might lead to a spin-off more directly about Batman and Robin Jason, but I don't know.

In either case, the show would feature pretty much as many villians as I could make the show fit. All the D-listers, at least. This show is about three D-list villians (Bookworm, Ragdoll and Music Meister), so the least we can do is add all the other D-listers in. Penny Plunderer, Kite-Man, Killer Moth, Signalman, Crazy Quilt, The Eraser, The Cavalier, etc. And if the D-list villians are our stars, then we should have a D-list hero as our leading good guy. Someone minor for Bookworm, Ragdoll, Music Meister and these others to match wits with.

So we'd introduce a small town superhero from up in small town Quebec. Moving to Gotham to try and prove themselves as a hero outside of their local community, we meet Fatigué, a french-canadian superhero whose only power is the ability to make people feel exhausted. They can't put them to sleep or anything, they can only fatigue them. The power works better in small towns with lower crime rates. Here in Gotham…not so much.

So we'd have our obscure D-list villians fighting an obscure D-list hero. Batman would be almost completely unaware any of this is happening, since it's only affecting a small chunk of the city in some very minor ways. Also because Fatigué leaves the big city after one season, tired and overwhelmed by the millions of people milling about in Gotham. They'd return to being a small time hero in Quebec, where they'd get a hero's welcome. The moral is that heroes come in all shapes and sizes. Not every hero can be Superman. Sometimes it's better to just have a small town champion.

After Season One, I might consider sending Bookworm, Music Meister and Ragdoll on a big north american roadtrip together, where they do criminal things, fight (and occasionally befriend) minor league superheroes, and even occasionally do a heroic thing too. If this story pays off well, i'd send them back to Gotham with a slightly higher profile, but bring them back down to speed by making them see that a lot of people still don't recognize them. These would be themes the show explores. A lot of DC worldbuilding, mingled with the stories of some of gotham's most d-list crooks.
