Thoreaully unimpressive

Spring comic. Spring is when I miss living in the woods in Wisconsin the most, cool plants, morel mushrooms, my mom pulling wood ticks off my head… just wonderful.

If you like my comic and want to toss some money in my hat here’s a link.  

the rabbit in a snowstorm painting being recreated with the blood trickling down her — blood that wilson spilled in both cases.

that scene mirroring foggy's last moments, with karen and fisk both begging for an ambulance as they loom over them. the staging of their bodies, and with vanessa and foggy both being targeted for their greatest strengths — for vanessa, her mind and for foggy, his heart.

This is Reid Wiseman with his two daughters, Ellie and Katherine. They lost Carroll to cancer just a few years ago. I know lots of people are saying what a sweet and romantic gesture it is for Reid, but... for me? I think about his daughters.

Can you imagine losing your mom when you're barely a teenager*, but knowing now that when you look up at the moon on the right nights, you'll be able to see a little bright spot that proves that humanity will remember how much your family loved her? That the whole world is going to feel that with their whole hearts?

What a beautiful gift that must be! What a remarkable moment, five years removed from the worst of the pain and grief, to have this monument to her memory, to your love for her, shared with the universe and all of posterity?

Carroll Wiseman was a NICU nurse and a beloved wife and mother and friend to everyone on the Artemis II mission crew and though she's gone, many nights they'll all be able to look up and say 'hey' to her memory. What a kindness.

If I wasn't already thrilled about NASA getting press for a big bold launch like this, this'd do it.

'16 Scenes of You and Your Dad in Cars' - Jordan Bolton

As of this morning I was reluctantly looking for jobs because I love my job and don't want to leave it, but see: $10k raise problem solver.

As of noon today this was no longer an issue, because my boss called me with the news that I was getting a $10K merit raise.

I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. This is roughly $200 extra per paycheck. Enough to pay off debt faster, rebuild my savings, and spend a weekend a month in Milwaukee getting obscenely laid. The sex I'm going to have on $200 extra per paycheck. You can't even.

hold on, sorry, important context: i'm from massachusetts. anyway -

the use of neutral and almost sympathetic epithets like 'fallen hobbit' and 'fisherman' when there are so many more pertinent options available

the quote they used, which is (word for word, I think) Gollum's book response to being arrested at the waterfall. (if anyone has trouble reading it on the image, it says "A few little fishes, nasty bony little fishes, for a poor creature, and they say death. So wise they are; so just, so very just!") Devoid of any context, it makes him sound like his whole arc is being persecuted for eating fish and being ugly, rather than having one isolated incident where he accidentally trespassed on a top secret military installation and didn't understand what the problem was, while outside of that incident people hate him because he's a murderous cannibal

Here are the other 3. Some of them are not as neutral as the fisherman figure lol

oh yep, I see he's an "evil hobbit" now. Guess they had a falling out (that one has the coolest paint job too imo. kind of like a Creature from the Black Lagoon zombie)

I realize now what they're doing is showing the same character at different points in the story (looked at the whole product page and there are multiple versions of Frodo & Gandalf in different outfits, etc.) That's a pretty cool idea!

...I saw 'Gollum with his Precious' and I was thinking, wait, I don't see the Ring. wait what's that he's got
