i thought that the word "aesthetic" would be enough of itself to deter nerds who see, i dunno, kids playing pirates and instantly go "well, ACKTYUALLY 🤓 pirates were CRIMINALS ☝️ and SMELLED BAD, so DON'T romanticize pirates"; but no, these retards are still in action full swing, and they're now judging the mob wife aesthetic trend because "acktyually 🤓 being a mob wife is NOT FUN ☝️" like no shit bro, that's why only the a e s t h e t i c is trendy, you fucking retard

@AngelinaTrest @Jazzy_Butts you are literally a monster which made a "personality" entirely out of sexual perversions
@TimeSpent oh, that's the word! thank you
@LukeAlmighty and that is a very good detector of shit stories about these two: if the story makes Jonathan Kent an asshole who would rather let a school bus full of children perish but not give away the secret; or the story makes Thomas Wayne some kind of evil mafia puppetmaster orchestrating the misery of Gotham - those are probably very, very shitty stories and their authors either have no understanding of basic things or are too busy subverting and deconstructing shit just to "own the chuds"
@LukeAlmighty and imo both Superman and Batman are still going strong even almost 100 years later is exactly because their stories break down to the simplest "Clark is a good boi who loves his ma and pa" and "Bruce is a sad boi who loved his mom and dad"; and Batman is more popular only because people are attracted to unnecessary and cruel character angst
@LukeAlmighty those are risky reqs and these two things just something I've read relatively recently so they're on top of my head, but my therapist says that whatever comes to your head first is usually the correct decision so:
read Superman: For All Seasons for good super/man dichotomy; the art is VERY specific but super comfy
and read Kingdom Come for what happens when super forgets about the man (and it's not Injustice)
both series are in self-contained and require literally none of "read issue #873 of completely different superhero series" bullfuckery which is the usual pitfall of big comics
@LukeAlmighty I like the 1978 one, even if Lex Luthor there is lackluster
but watching movies is a normie way, trve knowledge seekers go straight to the source material, and because western comics are the way they are, this directly depends on your level of various comic book shenanigans tolerance, like, would you like some 40's goodies or 90's-00's ow the edge or 70's complete crack-fueled funsies, or 80's more serious sci-fiery approach
given that you are a star wars nerd, my bet is on the 80's-90's more serious works, but before I start assembling "baby's first Superman" recs I need to know whether I should
besides, there's also the 90's cartoon, it's also good
@brokenscale figures it's all zeroes
I’m a cis white male American Sign Language interpreter. I go into a lot of places and am nearly always welcomed and treated well. Mostly, I think it’s because of my work, but I’m aware my race and gender play a part too. That said, there are few places I feel my privilege more keenly than in courthouses. More than half the time, I’m waved past the metal detectors. I can walk past the bar in courtrooms without being stopped by bailiffs. When court staff learn who I am, I’m often greeted with friendliness, even deference sometimes, as there aren’t many people who do what I do.
When I see how others who don’t look or dress like me are treated while in the same spaces, I’m forcefully reminded that there are still two Americas. There is still so much work to do in the US, and I’m committed to that work.
In terms of equality and personal freedoms, this November is going to be the most critical and consequential election I’ve ever witnessed in my (not so short) lifetime. Please, please, please vote for democracy and against totalitarianism - because that’s what this vote will be. I’m more convinced of that than ever.
@brokenscale that's cool, edgy boy, now post how much you spend monthly for the support of fine arts, flex that five digit number
a sneaky thing some websites do and I absolutely hate it is when you write your credentials on login screen and instead of saying "we have no user with this username here" the fuckshitsuckcock website registers you as if this was a signup screen and then has the audacity to ask for your phone number
cool, less boobs on screen and more annoying faggots claiming Ranma as some kind of "nonbinary icon!! "
