why do so many jason fans act like he called "Jay" so often? like it does happen, but a lot of the time every character just says his full first name

possibly because there are other jasons/jays that don't go by their full first names (if it's a nickname), but like...he's jason #batman

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78.

Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

You realize Moore was absolutely right about the infantile nature of the exercise of trying to distil life-lessons from Superhero stuff. Even worse when people do it with his stuff and utter despair when it's Thiel.

Sharon @sharonk.bsky.social · 6d

thiel, man, what the fuck are you talking about

He describes the plot of Watchmen, a 1986 graphic novel involving superheroes grappling with moral questions about humanity against the backdrop of impending nuclear war:

The antihero Ozymandias, the antichrist-type figure, is sort of an early-modern person. He believes this will be a timeless and eternal solution – eternal world peace. Moore is sort of a late-modern. In early modernity, you have ideal solutions, ‘perfect’ solutions to calculus. In late modernity, things are sort of probabilistic. And at some point, he asks Dr Manhattan whether the world government is going to last. And he says that ‘nothing lasts forever.’ So you embrace the antichrist and it still doesn’t work.

Thiel later finds biblical meaning in the manga One Piece, discussing how he believes it represents a future where an antichrist-like one-world government has repressed science. He believes that the hero, Monkey D Luffy, represents a Christlike figure.

In One Piece, you are set in a fantasy world, again sort of an alternate earth, but it’s 800 years into the reign of this one-world state. Which, as the story unfolds, gradually gets darker and darker. You sort of realize, in my interpretation, who runs the world and it’s something like the antichrist. There’s Luffy, a pirate who wears a red straw hat, sort of like Christ’s crown of thorns. And then towards the end of the story, transforms into a figure who resembles Christ in Revelation.

Thiel, along with a researcher and writer at Thiel Capital, explored these ideas at greater length in an essay for the religious journal First Things earlier this month.

I know some people are gonna be like "but space! space!" and true, but they don't all have to do something. this is most likely just going to be about the ones on the cover and no one else will be mentioned. best case is handwaved passed off to other heroes

nonbinarydetective.bsky.social @nonbinarydetective.bsky.social · 6d

yeah I'm the number one twins fan but the way the kids' books is totally going to exclude like 95% of the child heroes in DC....like c'mon

I want real super adventures in babysitting. All these kids should be ruining the titans and other heroes lives (affectionate) #dccomics

can't believe DC comics doesn't understand double papoose Jon Kent. that's literally what he would do

because you can't convince me he wouldn't do some of these or this would happen to him

just everyone around him only getting new forms when they die but he wins and is still turned into a 15 year old

moots and I have decided the only three ways Jason vs Joker could be really funny

He loses and gets turned into a kid to fight him
He wins but for some reason that happens anyway
He realizes somehow that he could fight joker and either kills himself or tells Damian to just do it

You can and should rightfully critique DC.
Ignoring and erasing the identities of minoritized individuals who work with them, deliberately leaving them out and letting your (largely white) following misrepresent men of colour as white? Nope.

Just announced at NYCC! A new Vertigo series from Grace and I about fandom, obsession... and parasocial chaos :)

the cover for Fanatic, a new series from DC vertigo by Hannah Templer and Grace Ellis. The cover depicts a woman cast half in shadow, looking back over her shoulder in a look of surprise as she is caught holding a shovel and wearing a tattered costume in a wooded area. The colors are in two tones of blue and red

it's out and apparently they changed it. I know it was kinda minor, but I always thought it was a little weird and DC seems to keep doing this. Glad that it changed #dc #dcko
