Superman: Man of Tomorrow #12 - “Superman’s Day Off” (2020)

And also the idea that it’s FORCE ITSELF that is whispering to them, calling them back, calling them home, telling them to take up their swords again, reach out in faith and find that the Light never left you, it’s still inside you and it needs you because the galaxy is so so dark and bleak and hopeless and there’s so much evil everywhere and the galaxy needs them to stand up and step out of the shadows and into the light so that they can reignite people’s hope.

It’s the pauses of awe and wonder in even the most miserable and selfish of underworld denizens because that’s a Jedi, the Jedi are back, the Jedi are here, everything will be okay now.

It’s F knighting herself, cutting her own padawan braid and proudly declaring she is a Jedi to save a frightened exploited village bride.

It’s Kanan igniting his saber for the first time in years to protect his future padawan and a clutch of Wookie slaves and the rattled composure in the Imperials when they realize, “Holy shit that’s a Jedi.“

It’s Cal and Cere deciding they were done hiding, done running from the Empire, they were going to fight back, and Saw gleefully pointing to them to inspire his band of Rebels.

It’s Obi-Wan unburying his lightsaber even after being so hopeless and broken and full of guilt and self-blame because people still need him, he’s the only one they can trust.

The whole Dark Times as a sloooooowly turning eucatastrophe, tiny lights of hope struggling to hold back the darkness long enough.  Holding out.  Buying time until the twin suns can rise.  Until Luke and Leia and the destruction of the Death Star and the death of the Emperor and the glorious return of light to the galaxy.

Then, I asked, “What were you dreaming about?” 

He had a distant, awestruck look on his face. 

“There was this giant crocodile,” he said slowly, “and it was coming out of a swamp to kill me, so I had to kick it to keep it away….except it had The Rock’s face.”

“The Rock? Like…Dwayne Johnson, The Rock?”

He turned to look at me with something like slowly dawning glee.

“Yeah,” he said, “It was Dwayne ‘The Croc’ Johnson.”

A beat.

And then we laughed so hard, we almost threw up.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW HARD IT IS TO ?????

Here’s a compilation, for anyone interested

I care immensely about the Ram emoji.

Apple

A good realistic ram, the eyes disturb me on a primal level, 7/10

Android

He sleep, which is cute, but the bad gradients and weird perspective mean I have to give this 3/10

Android Beans Emojis

I WOULD KILL FOR THIS RAM. 11/10

Microsoft

I actually quite like the thick outlines on the microsoft emoji, but I don’t think it works for this one. 4/10

Samsung

A good front on view of a good ram! Looks like a dog in sheeps clothing though, so 5/10

Twitter

THIS IS EXTREMELY GOOD UNTIL YOU GET TO THE FACE. FIX IT TWITTER.

0/10 Currently

10/10 If twitter gives it a real face

Facebook

A good front on view, but too goatlike for my taste. Even a hint of wool would help. 2/10

emojidex

Possibly my favourite more realistic Ram of the group, serene, peaceful, would grant a wish if you petted it. 10/10

HTC

Captures the abstract feeling of a Ram, extremely artistic. 9/10

Mozilla

Why are you so sad Ram? You are beautiful, don’t cry! 10/10!

LG

This is a fridge magnet. See me after class.

0/10, did you even try?

Whatsapp/EmojiOne/Messenger

These👏are👏all👏goats👏

I am pretty sure this ram is secretly satan, there is too much detail, but the head seems 2D and it is looking right at me with the void in it’s eyes.
