Important question for @kierongillen.bsky.social

Having a great time theorising about The Power Fantasy in the fan discord after issue 12, and instead of dealing with all of the wild reveals & implications of what may be my new fav issue I need to know one thing...

Is Haven recognised by the UN???

If you’re not reading The Power Fantasy by @kierongillen.bsky.social then you’re really missing out.

Issue 12 is the start of a new arc and is probably my favorite issue of the series so far.

You can even read the first issue online for free!

If you're not already reading it then please give the Power Fantasy a read. Honestly one of the best comics out there right now. It tells the story of 6 superhumans who must never fight each other if the world is to continue to exist.

An advert for the comic The Power Fantasy by Kieron Gillen, Caspar Wijngaard, and Clayton Cowles. The text on the advert reads There are six beings with superpowers on Earth. The world's continued existence relies on them never coming into conflict.

A 3 panel comic page featuring pink haired artist Masumi saying Thank you, Thank you in the first. A shot of the sea in the second and in the third an image of Masumi sat on the floor saying I was worried tonight would be a disaster, with a giant painting she made behind her of some monstrous shadowy form

An image of a woman looking up at a black sun surrounded by a cavalcade of bright colours. The text reads I'd have hated to be facing the wrong way at the end of the world.

$The cover to the power fantasy issue 1 featuring Etienne Lux, a black telepathic man with a greying beard and wearing glasses looking down at a fracturing globe with Heavy, a shirtless man wearing red pants leaping up at him in the foreground$

TPF #12 was a great flashback and incredible modern day (well 1999) developments, can't wait to see how arc 3 goes. We're so back

The Guardian isn't Murdoch owned, it's owner is a corporate specifically created to protect it from that kind of ownership and control. So this is worse than if there was a push on the scales by the owner

And no access areas, rules for events etc isn't going to fix that community. That's a pervasive and quite worrying culture problem that the reader community needs to address at all levels. Like, put the con plans down, fix the missing stairs first.

As someone into kink but not dark romance, it seems to me that the major issue is that the dark romancers don't seem to realise they're doing kink at all.

Tympanic & Frisketty @luckyerica3.bsky.social · Aug 19

Reading this as a kinkster who isn't a dark romance reader, it's unclear what a dark romance LARP masked ball would entail. BDSM events run in particular ways by skilled members of s community with safety protocols in place. Usually consent violators are banned. /1

I show up to my D&D group, ready to DM, but Brennan Lee Mulligan is sitting in my seat. He’s DM now. He’s DMing every TTRPG campaign on the planet. He beckons me towards an empty seat, tells me to roll up a PC.

Tears stream from my eyes. I’m finally free. All the forever DMs are finally free.

There is a point amongst the bearded where you realise that the beard is a load bearing part of your look and you can never really go back to being clean shaven.

I had more fun than I probably should doing the text for this one. Two and a half years of casual Japanese language study for the win! #ThePowerFantasy

Digital painting of a diagetic promotional poster for an art show set in the world of The Power Fantasy. The featured painting is of a large head jutting up from an abstract crowd of much smaller figures. The promotional text is all in Japanese and reads: “Morishita Masumi: The girl who destroyed Tokyo! ‘Deconstructa’ First exhibition! From April 4 until April 16.” In the lower right corner is a portrait of Masumi in a high school uniform.

Imagining diagetic artifacts in the world of #ThePowerFantasy because leaky plasma. What if Etienne being a public intellectual means he published a series of nonfiction books?

Digital painting of Etienne Lux from The Power Fantasy. He is a young Black man with short black hair and silver horn rim glasses. Half his face is looking out at the viewer with triangular shards breaking up his silhouette. Text arranged on the left side of the canvas reads: “It is better to be a good man. I wish I had the luxury.” Further down, in larger text: “An Ethical Man”

In SOTR we don't really get any indication former Victors are celebs, the closest we get is Beetee who is seen as useful for his mind.

Also, all the more celebrity Tributes came after the 2nd Quarter Quell.

This solidifies my desire for a Plutarch book to round out the prequel trilogy

Nepwrath @nepwrath.bsky.social · May 28

#SOTR Theory while sick in bed:

So Plutarch was behind making the Victors celebrities right?

It's absolutely in his skillset & a good way to give the Victors some long term protection. Also if they're doing celeb events it gives Plutarch a chance to scope out who's most sympathetic to rebellion
