TLBTC = The Little Bitch That Couldn't (for the uninformed lol). mostly it was just a funny placeholder title! also a reference to the little engine that could for reasons I couldnt possibly recall.

its kind of an ongoing joke who is the true Little Bitch from the title and what it is they Couldn't do. options include:

HeroMan, The Little Bitch that Couldn't be a halfway decent hero (also the ORIGINAL person the title referred to)

Vil/Manny, the little bitch that couldn't stay a villain (RIP his evil career)

The Real Big Bad, a spoiler. they are definitely a bitch tho

it’s been a very long while since I’ve made one! hello again

I know my list of writing projects tends to get a bit unwieldy, and after a little soul-searching i’ve decided to cut my active projects back down to the basics. aka the stuff from the earliest days of my blog - my current active projects are The Clone Story (self-explanatory lol) and TLBTC (my superhero-parody story). 

welcome! and I’m glad you liked it :D

Carmine Intruccio is the mob boss character from my superhero WIP The Little Bitch That Couldn’t (THAT was a title me and @endlesshourglass made as a joke, and almost 3 years later... my fate is sealed)

Carmine has a flair for drama and image. You won’t catch him without a perfectly tailored suit, orchestrating deals with a snaky smile. His office of course requires a gilded mirror, to dramatically stare at himself in as he entertains his associates’ phone calls. He’s very Italian, feat. the accent, and his shadowy organization is the only thing the city’s government truly fears -- only reason they don’t deal with it is because everyone’s collectively distracted by the Hero-Villain Rivalry™ going on. He always has this air like he knows something you don’t, because he does.

if you want to know more about the WIP, I have an explanation post that gives a quick rundown of the plot/characters here!

WOW I haven’t done TLBTC in a while. throwback

Maggie’s a comic book nerd. her side of the room is full of literal STACKS of comic books, plus posters of every MCU movie that’s come out circa 2016. She’s the type to wear oversized tee shirts with fandom references on them + jeans every single day of her life, plus her neon dyed-pink hair to jazz it up

She’s a practical voice of reason with the heart of an adventurer. So she will tell Vil OVER AND OVER that being the city villain is a terrible idea, but does she think it’s the coolest shit ever? absolutely.

she’s some kind of computer science major, and she’s one of those people that has a natural knack for it. she does school well enough to learn the material without overworking herself or letting it take over her life. She gets tickets to ComicCon EVERY year and is a master of cosplay down to the tiniest detail (she made Vil’s supervillain costume, btw!). 

1. I was just thinking about how it was my favorite, so guilty, sorrynotsorry 2. I'm curious about this HeroMan statue now

even you betray me... :’(
