#spawnposting

OOH DAN MORA SPAWN thank u so much 🙏<3

found these pages in an issue i previously skipped and was reminded just why i love al simmons so much, and why i get so frustrated when people (including his own writers sometimes!!!) write him off as cold, unfeeling & violent... and why it makes me sad that spawn is brushed off as an edgy product of the 90s rather than the compassionate, three-dimensional character he is.

al simmons has always looked out for the little guy. he’s always been a protector of abuse victims, especially abused children. to see that highlighted so brilliantly here, in such a recent issue, fills me with a warmth & appreciation i can’t even describe. the fact that such a prideful man is willing to put that side of himself aside to make sure this young girl & her baby get the help they need makes me want to cry. the fact he acknowledge his own emotional clumsiness, while still demonstrating how much he cares through his actions, shows a great level of emotional maturity that i wish mcfarlane & company would allow him to have more often.

“i don’t actually know what she needs right now, but it’s not me. i’m better at other things.”

I’ve been getting my partner flowers at work so consistently that their straight, married coworkers are noticing and wanting flowers of their own

I am a fucking god and I am also cackling maniacally at the thought of these married women talking to their husbands about their queer coworker’s long-distance partner upstaging them all
