Ah, The Spider Signal. Truly The Exact Inverse Of The Bat Signal.

Dance the Night by Dua Lipa, 100%. Heard it and was like hmmm...an absolutely glitterific bop hiding an indomitable spirit plagued by heartache. Yes, I have a blorbo this will pair with quite nicely, methinks.

Dear Nightwing fans, please drop your song recs for him :D

Interestingly, my impression from my female Clan Elders was always that the makeup and heels were extremely empowering for the ladies, even if they were probably there bc of dudes watching. The reaction was apparently like 'we can look good AND be taken seriously professionally? Hot damn, alright, time to start protesting those draconian puritanical office dress codes. Fellas just can't control themselves, you say? Well if William Shatner can manage...'👀

I've seen a lot of people claim that TOS is sexist because the women have to wear heels and a lot of makeup. Obviously, TOS is sexist in some ways but I think it's silly to use this as evidence. The men wear heels and a lot of makeup too.

Some examples:

It seems like it's standard for Romulan men to wear eyeshadow.

Evil Kirk wore a ton of eyeliner. He's shown putting on concealer/foundation. I feel like this could be used as evidence that the men wore makeup in universe and it wasn't just for filming purposes.

Kirk's heels:

very accurate depiction of the domestic canid, actually

Dick Grayson: so as you can see I definitely win the 'stupidest kidnapping' competition by virtue of having been abducted by a literal bird-brain :D

Other Batkids: HOW SMALL were you when you started crtimefighting?!?!

calmest peter parker evening (he dealt with everything before this dw)

I managed to decode the lower speech bubble, got most stumped on the first, and then realized I could and should wait for the expert fandom decoders to do it for me XD . Never has phonetic spelling been so unintelligible, nor fans so dedicated to decoding it anyways.

Zoing's speech

I would like to thank the wonderful folks in the girl genius server for joining me as soon as thenpage dropped last night for us all to collectively transcribe and decode Zoing's speech about what's going wrong on castle Wulfenbach. The best guess we settled on was:

"He came back! Gilgamesh go walk about and father came back! A scary clank lady want to fix a new body in a tank, making new brain to put brain in tank body in a big lab!"

"It’s gonna work and then she in command of the whole ship and empire and everything! It’s bad!"

Which sounds like Lucrezia is on board stealing herself a new organic body that can potentially go queen mode! Uh oh!

Folks, backup your Tumblrs, for real this time

As fun as it is to watch Spider-Man being (reluctant eventual) friends with the Human Torch, I find it much more amusing to track Peter Parker's hilarious history with Johnny Storm.

"You changed my life with your insipring words" + fucking off immediately. Followed by "you sunuvabitch, you stole my girl with your wiley nerdy boringness!"(regarding a girl Peter actively could not give two shits about). Followed by years of teenage antagonism only evened out when they team up to build a dune buggy together.

I mean Johnny has every reason to get a dressing down. He's acting like a jealous neanderthal. Amazing Spiderman 21
