Where Do I Find This Worksheet? It's Brilliant.

Goddamn but an anti-Superman deathtrap is always something else, ya know?

It's like the writers take all their frustration about having to write conflict around Clark's ridiculous power set, and say "you know how I would catch this guy out..."

Some days it is not worth being Jimmy Olsen I don't care HOW much monster girl pussy he gets. Action Comics 712

Ok but Tumblr keeps putting stuff from this fandom on my Dash for no reason and this was so GOOD that I literally just threw up my hands went 'dammit fine, this will clearly be my jam!" and ordered the dang book. I hope you're happy you have ensnared a soul, this will probably hurt so much more to watch once I have a hint of context.

Please, Shizun

Hope is a lie if you mistake it for a promise. No, hope is a gamble. A chance that it might work out in your favour. A possibility that those odds are worth the risk. A cornered rat does not launch to bite a dog in the face with absolute confidence that it will escape with its life.

It attacks for the chance that it might.

The biggest problems of the series occur because an enormous flying murder beast demonstrably CAN

Laurence I understand it was all happening very fast but you can’t just kidnap someone like that

So wait are livestock guardian dogs to their flocks like… Clark Kent among the residents of Smallville? He’s been here since he was a baby, we all know him, and he’s… generally one-of-us shaped, uh, approximately. And then when something goes wrong he suddenly leaps into action and does some terrifying impossible shit none of us could do. And then comes back home and settles in like nothing happened and he’s one of us again.

EDIT: just found out from a comment that this is bad art conservation practice :(

Thanks @moripartylove for setting me straight

I always smile when I see these types of videos, especially because of where they start. When lifting the veil of time, where to begin? The corner? The exact middle? No, the faces. Show us the smiles, the blush, the eyes. Pull back the shades on a soul-window hundreds of years distant.

It also takes art to restore old paintings that look like scabs...

THE FINAL PROBLEM - part 1 of ??many. If the context is confusing, please check the date and remember that we last saw Holmes in early 1891 - or better yet, read the original story!

This is in the Watson's Sketchbook series!

cursive text (which is all canon, btw) under the cut for those who need it:

4 May, 1893

It is with a heavy heart that I take up my pen to write these, the last words in which I shall ever record the singular gifts by which my friend Mr. Sherlock Holmes was distinguished. In an incoherent and, as I deeply feel, an entirely inadequate fashion, I have endeavored to give some account of my strange experiences in his company. It was my intention to have said nothing of that event which has created a void in my life which the lapse of two years has done little to fill. My hand has been forced, however.

It lies with me to tell for the first time what really took place between Professor Moriarty and Mr. Sherlock Holmes...

Spider-Man's Canon Cryptidization

As much as I love how Batman went from respected lawman to urban legend, I feel people fail to appreciate the Marvel equivalent. Peter Parker's alterego went from 'literally a wrestler with a gimmick' to 'he might maybe have once been human? We hope?!' in the eyes of the average civillian/mook.

Like his origin is clearly human, he's a tv performer and it's understood that his webbing is a gadget he came up with for the schtick. Then a little later when the Xmen become more popular and have more of an effect on the Marvelverse, you get the whole 'mutant scum' angle. But it eventually becomes clear that no, whatever this guy is, 'typical mutant' ain't it. (The alien suit debacle does not help with this at all.)

By the mid 80s Spider-Man is basically a cryptid, helped along by how the choreography and art style changed enough to show him moving in a way that is very inhuman, striking from the shadows, gravity optional. There's a whole arc where he adventures overseas and just straight up passes for a supernatural being so as not to compromise his secret id.

Then whenever anybody interacts with him long enough for him to start quipping they realize he's just a huge dork. Like, you know the inhumanly strong man-shaped shadow that can tell you pointed a gun at him from two blocks away without looking? He's going to give you a punny nickname while tying you up with a semi organic compound hitherto unknown to science. It's so funny.

Edit: just caught the typo in the title T-T

Love this song so much, best in the whole franchise

All of these options feel like saying "ampersand" aloud instead of "and."

It wouldn't be wrong, I suppose. "&" is a symbol for that word, and can be called that.

But why???

Thanks, Anon!
