Current I'm tempted to say "I've lost better friends than you" to a lote of people lately. I'm not sure what I ever want to say to the better friends that I've lost, though.

Bio

Twelve years ago, I said something on this website that continues to embarrassing me to this day. I was a stupid kid, like most, but I've never quite gotten the taste out of my mouth. Anyone who knew me at the time can tell you about it.

I love this website. I'm pretty sure my phylactery is stored wherever the webserver is and a significant chunk of me will just disappear when it ceases operation. Until then, it comforts me. I should go to the hardware store and paint my bedroom walls with the same soft, brownish grey that the background color has been for the last twelve years. Some of my friends can't wait for the site to go offline but I don't know of any other places that offer the same sense of community.

I'm an omni-gamer. I like board games, tabletop roleplaying games, admire tabletop war games, suck at riddles, and have an absurd library of video games. Survival horror is basically my favorite genre. Otherwise I'm a fan of esoteric, occult bullshit and punk rock. But disco's cool. Disco is what humanity sounds like when it chooses to be happy. Between you and I, I'd like to hope that the days of my life can sparkle like a disco ball, accreting like sparks from a grinder held up against the unwavering dark of deaths own shadow. Burn baby burn.

You and I, we're gonna die. We should be friends first, though. Write some checks we can't cash and make eachother smile. Make believe for a while.

@NinaDivine I quite like the look of Shazam.

We could always go over the Titans cast if you want.



Gross.
So, in spite of the fact that I disagree with Grant Morrison's vaguely defined idea of needing to abandon yourself as an individual in favor of being a conduit for an infinite number of distinct impersonal personalities (I think he was describing the idea of feeding off of other people's personalities in the same manner that Buddy Baker would pick traits from the lifeweb, I think), I actually consider Supergods to be one of the most important books I've ever read, if not actually amongst the most well constructed.

As for Morrisonian Chaos Magick, that I actually believe in one hundred percent. It basically comes down to the idea that your expectations affect the experiences you perceive, so you can reconstruct the reality that you live in as you see fit. It's like a more counter-cultural way of saying that you can choose to see the glass half-full or half-empty. If you actually expect a certain outcome, you'll brace for it and prepare yourself and others for it to happen, increasing it's likelihood. It's the placebo effect dressed as occultism.

I've always considered comic books to be somewhat counter-cultural, though it used to be hard to explain why I had felt that way. But some of the most prolific comic books ever, the ones associated with the British invasion that apparently convinced everybody that comic books are literature, came from writers who had been in punk bands earlier in life (Gaiman, Moore, Morrison, etc.). Looking even further back, though, the reason that comic books got aggressively censored in the nineteen-fifties is the edginess and counter-cultural values presented in the comics of the time.
Aw well, at least Bendis won't reasonably do worse to Batman than Geoff Johns did.
Ha. I'll be twenty in November. I distinctly remember being fourteen and thinking that @Architect was wayy older than me.
This is what Australia’s for. Proving Nightrunner wrong.



But.. umm.. I.


I came to realize that the only reason I'm so attached to the blue and red is the fact that I've seen the costume thousands of times. It's fine. It's cool. It's iconic, but I don't feel like it actually represents him particularly well. I know of no red and blue spiders. The webbing is the only detail that feels right. I stick like it, but think it's kinda dumb from a design perspective. I think the symbiote spider-suit is actually the most suitable design.
Am I the only one who actually hates the PS4 Spider-Man costume? I feel like it's got way too much going on at this point.

But I have hope.

See, that means Blue Lantern.

What do you get for FAITH?!

Nothing

Doesn't actually know if there is a lantern based off faith.


Not a Lantern, persay, but the Relic storyline had something akin to a blue lantern who was powered by Duracell faith.

Boo! Not a redhead!

I'm writing slightly longer than I traditionally have because I'm recalibrating myself to actually write stuff as opposed to hinting at stuff I'll never write.
