there’s a decent amount of talk surrounding the idea that comics, as we know them, are not a particularly good medium for telling cohesive stories. There will be retcons, there will be disagreeing authors and artists, and even the most lovingly crafted and well thought out run will eventually be undercut by something that comes after it, and will likely be undercutting something before it. This is just a fact of the medium, but honestly, it’s one of the things I love about it- because with this contradiction, with it’s indecisiveness, what we end up when a character has been being written for long enough is a portrait that’s… kind of closer to a person, in imitation, than a lot of other mediums can get to? A comic character’s lifespan can include so many small events and conflicting stories and different arcs and hangups, in way that’s very hard to achieve for a character from a play, a movie, even a standalone graphic novel. It’s a level of detail and layeredness that mimics how a person exists. Lives aren’t contained within a single narrative. They’re different people at different times, they have more experiences than any one person could know about. It’s… I don’t know. It’s just one of my favorite things about the genre

Just thinking randomly about Pre-N52 Dick Grayson knowing/speaking Tamaranean for no reason other than the fact that he was in love with a Tamaranean woman. Tamaraneans can learn languages by touch, this is a normal thing all Tamaraneans can do and it's likely not even a challenge or issue for them culturally to speak or know another languages like it is for humans but he loved her and he learned anyways and I'm just thinking how loved Kory must've felt for that and how much he must have loved her and I just made myself sad over nothing

what if your doppelgänger wasn’t evil it was just a person. what if your doppelgänger wasn’t trying to replace you it was just trying to learn to be a person and you were the best model it had. what if your doppelgänger looked at you with your eyes and said with your voice that it just wanted to be loved. what then.

Your artstyle is like your gut microbiome in the way its everything you consume and like and it also has all your bacteria up in it. Thats probably how that works

God could you imagine how mad geologists must have been to slowly watch the "hey all the continents kinda fit like puzzle pieces :)" guy get proven right

I love girl talk, especially when it’s complex geological theory

The other thing that pisses me off when it comes to the new batman run is jorge’s art, ik it’s supposed to be pretty but idk something about it makes me cringe, i lowkey like edgier comic art that actually makes a book look like a comic book but tbh that’s just scratching the surface as to why i dislike it, the way he draws women also pisses me off, like where are her organs at lmfao, and they all have the same face, if jorge drew just the silhouettes of every women he has depicted so far with no hair or costume/clothes w/o any colouring, I’d genuinely would not be able to tell who’s who, omg someone shoot me that comic book is making me crash out.
