Sweet. Burn that stupid "Zeus is her dad" stuff to the ground. And never mention her "secret twin brother who is actually her superior in every way who then disappears into space because the editors realised that he kind of messes with Diana's whole deal" ever again.

YASSSSSSSSS

SO GLAD that "Daughter of Zeus" nonsense has been retconned away

All the damage the New 52 did to Diana and the Amazons has finally been completely removed from the character <3

DIANA DOESN'T NEED A FATHER SHE HAS A THOUSAND MOTHERS (paraphrased from Gail Simone)

Brian Azzarello (writer of the 52 WW run which introduced the Zeus retcon) reportedly said that he went with this approach because "everyone has a father, even if they're not a very good one", despite this not being true for a number of folk IRL, let alone a fictional character who was created by the Ancient Greek pantheon and stuff.

Honestly? Baffling choices all around in that book, with every female character who wasn't Diana or the most recent person Zeus impregnated being shown to be varying degrees of horrible, her supporting cast replace almost entirely with her newly discovered half-brothers, and for Ares (typically her archenemy) becoming her main mentor and parental figure in her backstory, who notably in this version looks oddly similar to Brian, for reasons.

I don't know, kind of feels like Brian wants to lecture the character in various ways about how she's wrong in a way that feels like the time Bill Willingham decided to halt his Robin run to lecture Tim Drake/the audience on how awesome the United States army is, with a stand-in for Captain America attempting to recruit him while Bruce begrudgingly admits that the guy is indeed a mega-chad or something.

Even if one wanted to go with that angle (which I dont think you need) Zeus is probably the most overdone option for that. He is simply not an interesting idea to follow. So much so that Percy Jackson went out of it's way to specifically avoid by Giving Percy a different God Dad to have Daddy Issues with.

Interestingly, there is a male god whom you could give the role of a "father" figure for Diana (you know, if you must), and that's... Hermes.

why did they change this

Probably because the manga panel kinda screwed the proportions.

We know Montblanc is supposed to be HUGE. almost twice the size of the adults there and he can easily grab a person in his hands.

The picture with Brando implies they were roughly the same size with Montblanc maybe a bit taller, except Brando's regular body is human sized. The anime has the correct proportions, so it is them fixing a minor oversight

I think it's also cute that Brando, the wrestling champion, lets Montblanc pick him up like that as a show of Montblanc's insane strenght.

🧹🐺🧛‍♀️ Trick or Treat!⚡💀😈

I wish people had the energy they have for deconstructing and hating Harry Potter could also be directed at Five Nights at Freddy's, considering the creator of FNaF is every bit as much of a transphobic bigot as JKR. And he's even younger and can use his money for even worse shit for longer.

It's kinda past "oh, FNaF is just an Internet meme franchise, it's just a couple games that are only popular because Markeplier did a yell at one, pwease it's a wittwe multi-biwwion dowwa feanchiwe uwu." It's everywhere, it's as pervasive as HP now. There's a movie now. There's merchandise everywhere you go.

Both of them are fucking everywhere and completely inescapable this time of year, but only one has at least a little blowback.

I do wonder if some of it is that FNaF is more popular with zoomers and HP is more associated with millennials (and as tiktok won't shut up about for the past 3 years, everything millennial is cringe and everything zoomer is based).

This is why I am not seeing the Five Nights At Freddy's movie.

You always had a way to find the light.

thanks for watching me stream!

I'm going into the Pluto anime nearly completely blind and the best way I can describe it so far is Detroit Become Human if it was written by someone with more than 2 brain cells.

I was trained to be a court advocate for a crisis hotline and when I say cutting off the internet / phones is abuser behavior this exactly what I mean. And I want you to sit for a second and realize that.

Israel-Palestine live: Communications blackout as heaviest strikes hit Gaza Journalists and activists report widespread cellular and internet outages across besieged enclave. They are struggling to even dial their emergency services.

The anti-mask brain rot is penetrating the hospital system in a terrifying fashion.

Masks are necessary for accessing central lines, and more and more nurses are starting to have issues with wearing a mask during STERILE PROTOCOL.

These lines are going right into our hearts and nurses are throwing tantrums about having to cover up their faces for 5 minutes.

This has not happened at my infusion center personally but I have mutuals and friends who have had to beg their nurses to put on the mask that literally comes in the sterile access kit.

I have a little insight into this. It's not that nurses are suddenly refusing to wear masks, it's that a large amount of nurses quit their jobs or fell ill to the point of not being able to work or death due to how poorly the pandemic was handled. The sudden increase of nurses that are not wearing masks? A good portion of them are new recruits, replacing the troves of workers who left the job of their own volition or because of the terrible circumstances. A nursing program can take anywhere from a year and a half to 4 years to complete, so it's not a coincidence that in 2023 after the pandemic of 2020 these changes are becoming more prevalent.

The job market sucks, and the good pay of a nursing gig looks oh so appealing due to the relative ease of entry for that kind of salary and high demand. I was in a VC with some people recently and one of them was complaining about how he wanted to become a nurse for the pay, but he would have to get a covid shot. Yes, he was outraged that he would need vaccinations to be around sick people as his profession. Do you think his first priority is helping people? No, it's his own financial security. An important thing for sure, but when people are so focused on self-preservation then a job in caring for others is going to end in tragedy.

Take from that what you will, but if you see a nurse not wearing their mask while treating you, refuse treatment because if they aren't wearing a mask who knows what other precautions they skipped or how much experience they actually have. Go to the reception desk and file a complaint after your procedure, call them out by name. If the hospital sees that a nurse is being rejected by patients, then their place at that hospital will fall under scrutiny. Remember, healthcare is not necessarily your friend, but any red flag that might lead to a malpractice suit gets the legal department in a frenzy. An infection from an improperly sterilized central line can be traced back to the team that administered your last treatment. Do not be polite, do not pity these nurses, scream for someone outside the room if you have to. They are risking the lives of their patients by doing this, they do not belong in the medical field if they do not even believe in the science they are practicing.

For everyone here on my Tumblr I need y’all to stop what you’re doing and really lock in to the genocide happening in Gaza right now. I will post as many links as I can but the best you can do right now is be loud as fuck! About this.

TLDR Isreal has cut off all water, electricity and telecommunications within Gaza in a complete blackout and Gaza has lost their voice. Israel has already threatened to bomb Al Shifa hospital, which is currently a shelter for around 50k-60k Palestinians. These are images of Gaza Strip from an HOUR AGO. They are literally slaughtering and wiping out generations of Palestinians as we speak.

Please I need to see y’all talking about this and being loud for Palestine. Your anime yaoi twink hyperfixation will still be here tomorrow but literally thousands of innocent people may not.

i finished the first ep of pluto, and i think its good so far, but the colors do feel a little strong to me lol, they are VERY saturated

this is my favourite bit of otgw trivia (text from Art of Over the Garden Wall)

It blows my mind that someone would post this, then choose not to link to the video:

The thing is, Pluto shouldn’t work as well as it does. It’s literally taking Astro Boy and reimagining it as a noir murder mystery/psychological thriller. Taking something cute and lighthearted and making it dark and gritty is such a bullshit concept.

AND YET. That’s not what Pluto is at all. Because for all the cuteness in Astro Boy, the arc Pluto is adapting is about the horrors of war. Osamu Tezuka was a young man during WWII and that absolutely plays a role in a lot of his manga.

And for all that Urasawa’s works have a lot of very dark content and a high body count, there’s always such a beautiful cord of hope and humanity under it all. At the very worst times, there is still kindness and love and hope! Always! Two lonely, deeply traumatized men can have a picnic with good wine and good cheese! A robot that was built to be a weapon of war can learn to play the piano! The world can end, over and over, and we’ll still have music!

Pluto isn’t gritty or grimdark. Like all of Urasawa’s works, it’s got a beautiful, human heart.

I think something to also highlight about Pluto in relation to the source material is that... Urasawa loves the Source Material.

It's not there to try to "fix" the story nor is it ashamed of it's "cute-sy" origins. The story takes every opportunity it has to show it is a love letter to Tezuka first

I frew up :((

Ah yes…cankle….

I love how each and every Baldur's Gate 3 companion (including even a secondary camp ally), one after another, almost verbatim, has a moment like : "Man, our companion got their revenge on the person that ruined their life but it wasn't nearly as fulfilling as they'd hoped and they feel mostly just numb about it. Even though it was definitely necessary and they're glad to have done it, it still really highlights everything they went through. Not mine though. Mine will be nothing but satisfying and won't unlock a torrent of grief I'd been putting off processing because I had to focus on defeating them. My revenge quest completion is going to be awesome." *One companion questline completion later* "By the nine hells this can't be happening"
