Jill has a bit of adventure in The Complete Adelessa, the story of a girl who writes fanfic and oc on the internet.

Feeling down about fiction publishing atm (rejections pile) but, eh, what're you going to do? I'm kind of grateful I come from the first *just stick it on the internet* generation.

I love when people discover that everything they've ever eaten is just brassica wearing a funny mustache disguise

Brassica oleracea, also known as wild cabbage in its uncultivated form, is a plant of the family Brassicaceae. The species originated from feral populations of related plants in the Eastern Mediterranean, where it was most likely first cultivated. It has many common cultivars used as vegetables, including cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, romanesco, kale, Brussels sprout, collard, Savoy cabbage, kohlrabi, and gai lan.

Essay on Tala and Tannarak and the pros and cons of what Neil Gaiman did to gender politics in DC's magic circles with that first Books of Magic.

Or, I could just read The Trenchcoat Brigade again, which is a good, sad little comic.

Pure luck. He was sitting out at a group yard sale/white elephant table thing and we were driving by and "Is that Roy Scheider?" We were pretty intrusive so I'm glad he was amused and content to entertain.

You are amazing. I've been impressed with you since we met.

Secretly almost everyone is my hero. You have to be intensely shitty for me not to admire you in some way.

Doll Man vs Demonic Toys is a three-way crossover/sequel to Doll Man, Demonic Toys, and Bad Channels, a buddy comedy with two rogue cops teaming up with a tough as nails nurse, featuring two tiny people, aliens, demon-possessed toys, and lots or reused footage.

Thinking about that woman who thought a portal from Hell was in her bedroom and demons were fucking her up and it turned out to be a well under the floor generating mad electricity. Maybe that is the same thing.

Marvel didn't need AI to do this, they definitely don't need AI to make Wonder Woman lunchboxes.

Katherine Bradford's Superman is the best (and despite what some angry artists have said, Andy Warhol's is adorable).

DC should pay me to do a comic wherein Superman refuses do as anything violent for 24 hrs, getting increasingly frustrated but always holding back, deliberately baiting the reader with how quickly it would settle issues until...

Adolescence Apocalypse, aka Adolescence of Utena, aka Utena: The Movie, is the best kind of symbolist art. The real kind. Where they're symbols, not signs. Also, the Devil is always dead, love is true, and it's a mistake to believe you're the only girl who can turn into a car.

Commissioned by the LA Museum of Art to complement an exhibit of Persian art, 24 Frames Per Second is a very short film by Shirley Clarke which burns fragments and hints into your brain.

All the The Wrong... movies are a special kind of special kind, but The Wrong Friend, about date rape, child pornography, and evil rich people is some vicious made for tv horror-thriller.

This really does line up with a company who won't have the FF steal their rocket but will insist that the USSR are the real villains of Captain America and Nazis just haha we'v yeah. Disneyfication is. Like Darkseid is. That's why Darkseid had a theme park.

Someone tell me Disney didn't just use a bunch of fucking AI slop for the new Wonder Man show

Am reminded of the veterans event where the vets were celebrated by teenaged girls singing Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah, and not knowing if they should stand, salute, put their hand over their heart, etc.

God Bless America is just a song by Irving Berlin. It’s not the national anthem. America is so far down the moron hole it will never get out

"Love" is a funny word. Red Dust is amazing. Harrowing. Often on my mind. And, uh, no I don't want to watch it again right now, thank you.

Mad Detective is a movie about letting murder and empathy get to you.

Transvestigation. 1962. Colorized.

And, yes, they're often up to "playing along" for this part. Then they send you to prison when their friends razz them.

Leather Jacket Love Story is adorable, sweet, exuberant, and features an array of gay men of varying age, ethnicity, and social dynamic in a way few movies will.

Three Wishes for Cinderella very closely adapts a particular telling of Cinderella with owls, nuts, and crossbows. It's cute.

On My Way to the Crusades, I Met a Girl Who... is a farce about the generationality of permissiveness, repression, and women's rights, including Monica Vitti stuffing her dress to pretend to be pregnant so she can publicly mock a misogynistic priest before pretending he made her miscarry.
