So I was lucky enough to get a hardcopy of Mark Waid's Fantastic Four with all of the behind-the-scenes material, including his thought processes behind what makes the team (and each individual character) tick--essentially the "director's cut" of his F4 run. For any F4 fans' consideration, here are scans of what he had to say (sorry for bad quality):
biggest protection from internet brain poisoning is remembering the idea “are people making up a guy and then getting really mad at that made up guy?”. sometimes you gotta just take a step back and go is this this an actual issue with actual discourse or is it just something like four people on tiktok are saying? By getting mad at this do I sound like new stations talking about a “new teen drug craze” that 100% is not a thing?
A couple of other tips, not just for internet brainrot but for brain poison in general:
Sometimes it’s not A Thing™ at all. And sometimes The Thing™ really isn’t worth that much of your time.
Don’t give it that power.
copy paste your work into google translate and have it read it back to you outloud. its better than using stuff like audacity because they will sell your info
(google does this too but)
casually pastes my 200K word novel into google translate and breaks the internet
Natural Readers is a GOLDMINE for editing a manuscript if you don't have someone to read it out loud to you, or don't want to have the embarrassment of a real person you know reading one of your drafts.
Natural Readers is a robotic-reading app, but it's robot voices are designed to sound natural (and they're pretty damn good). There's 20 minutes for free a day, but their subscription cost is super low too for unlimited reading.
Additionally, and most importantly for us Fantasy or Sci-fi writers, if you make an account on their website you can tell it how to pronounce words you've made up in your own personal dictionary.

In love with the idea of social media in a superhero vigilante universe. Imagine you've grappled with the ethics and morality of interfering with criminal acts and operating on limited information and the possibility of bringing danger to the innocent and the ultimate futility of the criminal justice system and you come out the other side still determined to do what you do and then you read a tweet that says "I used to steal cars for the thrill of it but then one night Power Guy showed up and pinned me to a wall and it was the hottest thing that's ever happened. Realized I'm onto dudes, joined fetlife, found a great Dom, three years on the straight and narrow, thanks king"
How would you recover
Denji is an incredible protagonist for one simple reason:
He is SO respectful.
He's a horny touch starved teenage boy. He's a pervert, he thinks about sex and girls all the time. His entire goal in life at one point was to touch some boobs.
And yet never, EVER, has Denji violated anyone's consent. Ever.
He's never peeped on anyone. Never groped anyone against their will. Never took pictures or even really gawked at anyone. He's had sexual thoughts about almost every woman he's met, sure, but he never acted on it without some form of consent.
The most he's done is make deals with various girls about doing various things with them ... Thing is, it was usually offered to him BY the girls.
Power offered him to let him touch her chest if he helped - and when he did, Denji did not even bring it up again until she did. He didn't demand she uphold her side of the deal nor even really mentioned it - she could've just let it pass and he wouldn't say a word.
Himeno offered to kiss him if they made it out of the hotel. Again, Denji didn't bring it up until she did, though he was considerably enthusiastic about it.
Makima offered him 'anything', and Denji decided to ask for sex - however he checked and double checked if that would, in fact, be okay to ask. (And he didn't even end up asking for it).
He's a genuinely believeable teenage boy, he's gonna be horny, he's gonna think about sex, but he's also a NICE teenage boy, and he has no desire to make anyone uncomfortable.
And the author doesn't see sexual assault as a hahah funny !!!
Denji is proof that you can write a likable pervert character.
All you have to do is make them respectful.
"what goth brands do you wear?" Charity Shops, mate. Pre-owned and pre-loved, now getting remixed by yours truly 😎
Here are some GREAT examples of goth/punk outfits that aren’t brand names.
"Where has all the genuine self-expression gone? Now what used to be authentic subculture is turned into a performance of Aesthetic!" so many posts exclaim, usually concluding that the problem is Capitalism.
I don't disagree entirely, but. The problem is that y'all are so deathly fucking afraid of things Cringe, Weird, and Uncool that anything unmarketable, subversive, or oddball enough to be "genuine subculture" is gross and unacceptable to you.
People wish to see "genuine self expression" that is not a performance or a commodity.
Very well then. I assume you're appreciating and celebrating the dress, style and behavior of somewhat shabby, weird outcasts who firmly refuse to make themselves palatable to you?
I think some of you are forgetting what "subculture" means. If it makes everybody around you think you are cool and look nice, that's missing the point a little bit. That's just...culture!
When people express themselves in a way that is not a performance to appeal to others...
...it is actually very likely that they will...not appeal to you.
"Why can't people be unapologetically themselves, in a way that is of course never "cringy" or too weird or too ugly or uncool? Why can't we have self-expression without performance, in a way that is not boring to me and that doesn't weird me out?"
Do you see the problem?
There are still robust, thriving subcultures full of unique fashion and artistic expression...
"Ah, but you see, that one is personally unappealing to me!"
That's the Point, you fools!
I see how people talk about non-binary youths with hair dyed in funny colors. But there is such a young person of indeterminate gender I see sometimes on my college campus with "Trans Liberation Now!" and a bunch of other symbols and slogans hand-painted on their jacket, and they are a million times more "Punk" than anyone with simply piercings and spiky chokers
I was thinking about the incredibly cruel phenomenon of taking photos of strangers without consent and uploading them to websites so others can mock them, in the vein of "People of Walmart" and other such things, and when looking it up, I was disturbed to see how many of them are just 1) a fat person is in public (wow!) or 2) a (perceived) man is being obviously gender non-conforming 
they are just existing. probably at a more advanced level than you.
Louder, for the folks in back...
"There is no escape. You can't be a vagabond and an artist and still be a solid citizen, a wholesome, upstanding man. You want to get drunk, so you have to accept the hangover. You say yes to the sunlight and pure fantasies, so you have to say yes to the filth and the nausea. Everything is within you, gold and mud, happiness and pain, the laughter of childhood and the apprehension of death. Say yes to everything, shirk nothing. Don't try to lie to yourself. You are not a solid citizen. You are not a Greek. You are not harmonious, or the master of yourself. You are a bird in the storm. Let it storm! Let it drive you! How much have you lied! A thousand times, even in your poems and books, you have played the harmonious man, the wise man, the happy, the enlightened man. In the same way, men attacking in war have played heroes, while their bowels twitched. My God, what a poor ape, what a fencer in the mirror man is- particularly the artist- particularly myself!"
--Hermann Hesse
Love goth culture but not really loving this prevalent shift into distinct gender presentation that's developed as its become accepted in society. Or the... I guess gentrification is the wrong word.
Like. You remember goths with huge ratty hair and KISS makeup and men in heels and corsets and women in huge shapeless sweaters till you couldn't tell who was under what? Remember when the clothes were hand-shredded from the thrift store for five dollars and some spit?
My first black lipstick was eyeliner. What's this Women Get Crop Tops Only For $60 crap. What's this Being Goth Too Expensive shit. Girl draw ur nails on with sharpie and embrace damnation wtfff
Alt fashion being gentrified (which is the right word, you nailed it) is the most bullshit thing. My forebears didn't thrift/shoplift leather and jeans and hold their clothes together with pins and dye their hair together at whoever's house had a sink sprayer just so modern punks could lament the cost of a good battle jacket and ripped pair of off-the-rack jeans like! Girl!! Rip them yourself!! Throw box dye in your hair and leave it on for an hour before rinsing in the sink!! Keep your jeans for so long they tear THEN pin that shit together!! The entire point was that we didn't contribute to the capitalist machine by buying new things!!
Cheap, shitty, and now!!
1. I am looking for a fic I read like 2 years ago. It had a very oblivious Aziraphale, a pining and horny Crowley and a date at an ice cream parlor. There was a scene were two man at a neighbouring table talked lewdly about Aziraphale, which made Crowley jealous. Also, at the end Crowley comes untouched in his jeans. I think because he fell into Aziraphale’s lap and he tried to wriggle away to escape. Does someone remember this fic? I was certain I bookmarked it, but I cannot find it. Help, please? - @mxster-jocale
2. Hello!! I’ve been looking for a fic where Crowley wants to stay close to Aziraphale but doesn’t want to crowd him, so he’s secretly relaxing outside in a little unused patio/garden connected to the bookshop. He’d stretch out his wings and relax in the sun, and one time he fell asleep and Aziraphale noticed him there. Aziraphale decided to clean the patio area up so it’s nicer for Crowley, but Crowley assumes this means his secret hiding place has been taken and is very hurt about not being able to go back. I’ve been looking for this fic for a while… I’d really appreciate any help! Thanks so much! - @unuora
3. Hello, it’s me again, back looking for another fic! This time I can’t remember which archive it’s even on, but it has to do with Crowley adorning Aziraphale with gold jewelry, including (ahem!) little golden nipple clamps shaped like flowers. (Sorry for typing that phrase just now.) He also wraps some wisps of silk around him (yes, Az is, at least mostly, naked in this one.) Any ideas on this one? Again, sorry for the smutty phrases. - @xendria
4. Hi! Love this blog thank you so much for everything that you do for all of us in this fandom 💖 I’m looking for a fic that’s hard to find I’m sorry 😭 All I remember is that it’s explicit pwp of Crowley f*cking Zira at his flat (he’s quite dom & rough in this) and one of his plants fell over, smashed its pot cause it was trying to get an eyeful so Crowley f*cked Zira where they could see them. He said something like “You want to see my angel?” to the plants beforehand lol. Please help 🙏🏼 - anon
5. Hi!! I’m looking for a fic I read a while back it’s pre-canon and involves aziraphale performing a temptationIt was a pretty short fic, not sure if it was a standalone one shot or part of a series of one shots. It featured aziraphale in a bar talking to some mob guys who were being rude about crowley not being there before crowley saunters in like this dude should be treated with equal respect to me. And the mob guys think they are like gay husbands running a criminal empire. I’ve looked at so many mafia fics on ao3 but i cant find it. its definitely not a human au and i remember aziraphale being pretty sauve and bamf while talking to the mob guys but not really any other details. Help! - @killerkittens22
If you know any of these fics please include the number in your reply! Thank you :)

REBLOGGING FOR REFERENCE
Actually yknow what. WTNV should be considered revolutionary and significant gay media that played an important role in the growth of gay representation in media especially in podcasts. When people talk about important gay media in the early 2000s I want wtnv to be one of the ones people talk about. No if ands or buts about it.
Actually I cant shut up about this. In 2012, people did not even think about putting gay representation in popular media. Gay representation wasn’t considered profitable yet. Gay marriage would not be legalized for another three years. The Legend of Korra, a show that fought to the death to have their main lead hold hands with another woman, just released their first episode earlier that spring. Steven Universe, a show well known for its gay representation, including having the first gay proposal + marriage on a kids cartoon tv show, would begin a year later in 2013, but wouldn’t show their gay representation hand until 2015 with the episode Jail Break. The Adventure Zone, a podcast currently well known for it LGBTQ+ representation, wouldn’t begin until 2014, and didn’t show their hand until 2015. In my young queer experience, representation was covert, secretive, only implied or dead.
and then in the summer of 2012, wtnv introduced itself to the world, proclaimed its main character gay in the first episode, and played it gay (pun intended) for years. Being gay wasn’t a trope, or a goof, it was normal. Cecil Gershwin Palmer was just a canon, gay character who fell in love and stayed in love and was happy. and that was that.
if we talk about revolutionary queer media, we talk about Welcome to Nightvale. No exceptions.
I think it’s really important Cecil Baldwin credit for this. I’m not saying Fink and Cranor and later Dylan Marron have nothing to do with it, because of course they do. But Cecil being gay was not something the writers intended. Because initially, Carlos was not intended to be a love interest for Cecil. He was just meant to be a character that showed up occasionally to be a tongue-in-cheek goof on scientist characters in shows like Fringe or the X-Files. But Cecil Baldwin made the decision to make his character utterly in love with Carlos, because he was gay, and wanted his character to be as well.
For those who don’t know Cecil Baldwin is HIV+, and he’s openly discussed his struggle with it. This is a large part of why his playing a man who is openly gay and sexually active is also really important. The importance I think of having LGBT people playing LGBT people really shines through with both Cecil and Dylan’s characters. They can be authentic, they can be a source of hope and representation. Behind the scenes, Night Vale is just as diverse as the show itself. Cecil Baldwin’s pretty incredible and it’s worth it to read what he’s had to say on WTNV if you have the time.
Oliver then proceeded to detail how with $50 and knowledge of the law he was able to successfully apply online to create a debt buying company named “Central Asset Recovery Professionals,” or as Oliver put it, “CARP” named after “a bottom-feeding fish.”
After setting up a rudimentary website for CARP, the satirical, but still real company was offered a $15 million package of medical debt for $60,000.
Oliver explained that the debt was out of statute, which means it is the kind of debt that a collector can only continue to collect, but not sue the debtor for.
Then, instead of chasing down the 9,000 debtors in the debt package as a normal collection agency would, Oliver decided to stage the largest one-time giveaway in television history and work with the nonprofit RIP Medical Debt to forgive the $15 million with no consequences for the debtors.
Okay but now I know what I want to do of I get rich?
You dont have to be rich to do a bit of this actually
RIP Medical Debt is a charity (and therefore takes donations). They buy the rights to medical debt and then forgive them. So far they’ve forgiven over 1B in medical debt.
So a little ray of hope for someone out there today.
Donating $10 buys $1,000 of medical debt. This is real, it works, and we’ve done it ourselves. You can too.

My hypothesis is that in like 10 years gen z is gonna have a big cult boom the way the boomers did in the 70s
It’s already happening on tik tok. There’s a fun new thing going round that’s citing common symptoms of depression and anxiety as signs you’re about to have your awakening and that you are actually an alien and the reason you don’t feel right is because you’re home sick for your own galaxy. So that’s fun.
agreed, and i don’t mean this in a “haha gen z is so dumb they’re gonna join a tiktok cult lmao” i mean that conditions are perfect for the formation of cults right now.
as a cultic abuse survivor with a half-decade of academic research on how these groups work, here are some quality, public-friendly educational resources to help you learn what high control groups look like, how they work, and the methods they use to influence, draw in, and control/coerce literally anyone.
education about this subject is SO important—high control environments and their methods for influencing and controlling people often go totally unnoticed unless you’ve learned about them, and there’s a long history of mainstream misinformation on what thought reform and cults are, what they look like, and how they work. there’s also a huge misconception that “no way that could be me!” when unfortunately, because of how high control influence works, it’s possible for anyone to get drawn into a high control group or relationship without realizing that’s what it actually is.
Cults/High Control Groups and Influence 101:
TV Series/Films (Bit More In-Depth):
Wellness/Self-Help Cults, including Corporate Cult Seminars/Workshops:
Cult Origins of and Ongoing Destructive Cult Presence in the Modern US Drug Rehabilitation, Residential Treatment, and Troubled Teen Industries (including the origins of anti-LGBTQ conversion therapy camps):
Some More Podcasts!:
This list seems really long, but I actually cut a lot out. Happy to field asks if that’s helpful—these links are meant to be easy-access for a general audience, but there are many more *really* fantastic resources besides these ones I’ve mentioned above :)
(trigger warnings under the cut)
This book, which is about 800 pages long, is one of the best pieces of literature I have ever read. It follows four friends after they move to New York City and pursue their goals, but most of the story focuses on one of the men: Jude St. Francis, who has a mysterious past that has wrecked him emotionally and physically. But despite the darkness of the subject matter (and it gets DARK) the acts of love and kindness and friendship from the people in Jude’s life will bring you to tears. It’s a gorgeous study of trauma, human relationships, and the marriage of joy and pain that inevitably comes with living. I read it two months ago and have thought about it every day since. It’s one of those books you want everyone to read and no one to read. (DEFINITELY check out the trigger warnings for this one.)
This book is a sprawling political fantasy, packed with detail and diversity and some of the best, most complex worldbuilding I’ve ever seen. Baru grows up under the shadow of imperialism and eventually joins a rebellion to break free of the empire that has begun to take over the world. She’s also a lesbian, which is forbidden in the new empire, but against herself is drawn to the enigmatic Duchess Tain Hu. There are devastating twists, loves, and heartbreaks that will break your heart along with Baru’s. To say anything else would be a spoiler, but if you like complex, morally ambiguous fantasy, check this one out.
This book follows a man named Jacob as he slowly falls in love with a fellow soldier during the seventeenth century English Revolution. After the war, they attempt to establish a utopian farming commune and keep their relationship together. This book is a really interesting foray into 17th century England, but it is ultimately a dark, passionate tale of obsession and vindication that will leave you as sick with the actions of the protagonist as he is with himself.
This book is written as a memoir of a disgraced scientist, who discovers a hidden tribe in a small Pacific island that he believes holds the key to a longer (and even immortal) life. You almost forget that the events of the book are fiction and not a real memoir–everything described seems meticulously researched and vividly real. As always, Yanagihara’s writing is gorgeous, absorbing, and well-paced. It’s a haunting tale of how science, hubris, and greed can lead to someone’s personal downfall, as well as colonialism and cultural genocide.
You might have already heard of this one, but I had to put it on the list anyway! After a traumatic accident kills Theo Decker’s mother, his life is thrown into turbulence and eventual crime, all stemming from a stolen painting. The story is tense, beautifully written, and will make you root for yet another morally gray narrator. For fans of dark thrillers, art history, homoerotic friendship, and/or coming-of-age stories, this one is for you.
Although Daytripper is a graphic novel, it deserves a spot on this list. It follows Bràs, a Brazilian writer, and his journey through specific turning points in his life, each represented as a “death.” The art is gorgeous and the story flows impeccably, capturing the beautiful mundanities and joys of life. This book will leave you touched, inspired, and deeply affected.
After a vintner saves his life, an angel named Xas visits him every year for a single night. As the vintner grows, so does their relationship, just like a fine vintage. It’s difficult to say too much about the plot without spoiling the story, but I can say that this book explores the nuances of human relationships and the love we feel for each other, as well as the hate and fear that can pervade those relationships.
Toni Morrison is one of the greatest American novelists and Beloved is my favorite of her works. The book follows Sethe, an ex-slave, and her daughter Denver as they reckon with a ghost from Sethe’s past that begins to haunt them more literally than metaphorically. The story is both captivating and difficult to read, but Morrison’s writing is gorgeous and the characters come to life on the page. It superbly explores the depth of trauma and motherhood, as well as depicting the horrors of slavery in a way that doesn’t feel cartoonish or exploitative.
Celeste Ng’s work has gotten a lot of hype recently, and for good reason. This book follows a family after the middle child, Lydia, drowns. We see the buildup to Lydia’s death and its brutal aftermath, as relationships are challenged within the family. It’s a brilliant look at familial dysfunction, generational curses, and interracial marriage in 1970s America, and a deeply haunting portrayal of how these issues can tear apart a family.
I made a thing! I was thinking about this for a few days - because I realized that when I was young, I was also frustrated about being given the same advice over and over - without really knowing what it meant!!
Here’s 5 techniques which I have done before which have helped me grow as an artist, which are good for 5-minute warmups or just straight up challenges for your sketchbook!
Obviously, these are not the ONLY techniques - they’re just the ones I find most fun! And maybe they’re not the most ‘correct’ ones out there, but it’s better than another comic about practicing more, right?
Good luck to everyone on their drawings!
