Ernest bends Mal’s ear for relationship advice. Mal wonders why he’s being asked because Ernest technically has more experience than he does, and Zip offers genuine advice that’s more from common sense than experience.

This is a thing that happens. You would think that Ernest would know better, since Mal just makes Lemongrab noises whenever he brings up June in casual conversation, but Ernest is Ernest. Mal and June have a very…strained relationship.

Done! The lovely June Hovick— a bit older here, perhaps just shy of twenty? Lounging with a lovely fire tiger of her own creation. Tried to riff off of the art on her bio… hopefully I did her justice!

This site has chest binders for 16 dollars and free shipping. I know people have limited money and I felt like this was worth sharing.

And now I want an issue of Bucky trying to complete a honeypot mission and failing horrifically. He can kill a man twenty ways with a popsicle stick and a wad of chewing gum, but he couldn’t seduce a potato. The Red Room scrubbed out J. Bucky Barnes: Smooth Operator, and he hasn’t done much in the way of reclaiming the chatty charm of his youth. It’s not his fault that the majority of his pickup lines involved war bonds and victory garden double entendres.

Now that I think about it, Bucky might have seemed decent with the ladies just because his flaming bf4lyfe, Toro, made anyone look good by comparison.

Anyway, happy birthday Teal! I felt I should contribute to the well-wishing and draw you something. Enjoy the thing and enjoy your day!

I don’t get asked to do teens to often. Hope I got that awkward man-child proportion down. LOL

“And then, in 2010, Marvel Comics presented a Spider-Man (the ‘Ultimate’ version) who was 13 years old and brown. To see Spider-Man pulling his mask over a tiny brown chin – to see a boy with short curly hair sticking to the ceiling of his bedroom— well, something happened. Dagim has been Spider-Man for two Halloweens in a row. He takes a bath with his Spider-Man and a toy killer whale. He has Spider-Man toothpaste and a Spider-Man toothbrush. If Spider-Man offered medical coverage, I think he would want that, too.
………….
I thought for a while that my son would never be interested in my comics. I was afraid they would just represent another club he couldn’t join: all those big-jawed white guys with their hair parted to the side. But thanks to Spider-Man, my son imagines himself jumping on giant robots and saving the city. I hear him doing that behind the door of his room.”

- NY Times: A Superhero Who Looks Like My Son (via fyeahlilbit2point0)

Yes. This.

(via youneedtolookatthis)

I got to meet Miles at a convention last summer. Not some kid in a costume. But Miles.

There’s this kid at our booth. I’d guess around 11 years old. He had been by the booth solo a couple times already. This time he had an adult.

“This one dad. This is the new Spider-Man.”
“Uh, huh.” his dad was singularly unimpressed with Spidey.
“No dad see,” and he points to one where Miles has the mask off, “He’s half black and half Mexican.” the kid is just beaming.
Dad starts to smile. This is about when a lady walks up, she puts her arm around dad and the kid says hi to mom.

Here’s the thing. This kid’s dad is Hispanic and mom is black. Miles was literally showing him he could be Spider-Man.

This isn’t me wanting to grow up and be Storm. This isn’t me wanting to be Captain America. Those are characters that are like me, kind of. But I have tons of characters that are “just like me”. That’s my white girl privilege.

Miles, beyond being a super awesome Spider-Man is a super awesome role model. This is a character that says, you exist AND you can be a hero.

Miles is the reason I am so passionate about representation in comics. Because I saw that little boy’s face and the pride in having himself matter enough, his family matters enough, to be shown in comics.

The kid and I had a lovely chat about Miles and how awesome he was. His dad asked for info on the comics so he could try & find the back issues for his son. It is pretty much my best memory of that convention.

I started reading Miles because I was interested in a different take on Spidey. I kept reading because Miles is AWESOME. I will continue reading so that kid keeps being able to see himself in the pages of a comic.

bakerhi:

Baking is methodical: Every measurement is precise, so you need to concentrate on only the baking when you’re doing it - in turn, clearing your head.

Baking takes time: If you dedicate yourself to this activity, you’re setting time aside for yourself indirectly. Therefore creating a safe space where no-one can bother you. This is of course, when you’re like me and you kick everyone else out of the kitchen.

Baking is relaxing: When have you not appreciated the scent of fresh baked cookies in your living space? Really.

Baking is satisfying: Cookie dough? Check. Actual cookies? Check. Let’s be real, sometimes you need to eat your feelings.

Baking is motivational: You can’t just sit and wallow in whatever you’re stressed about when you’re baking. You have 10 minute intervals to sit and contemplate life, the world and everything. (the answer will always be 42 - props if you get this reference)

Baking is satisfying (pt 2): For me, my coworkers adore it when I’m stressed. Not in the “haha, Rhiannon’s life is hard right now” kind of sense, but more the “sweet, I got unexpected breakfast AND dessert in the same day.”

Baking is deceiving: I think I’m an anomaly. I don’t really watch TV, I play video games (when I’m not baking/working) and I’m not a huge fan of cooking. Last night, I made macaroni and cheese, strawberry muffins and monster cookies. Tonight I made my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe. It makes people think that I’m on speed, because no one else can “find the time to bake.” It’s really that I don’t really have a lot of hobbies. There, now you know.

Baking is productive: Baking gives you the ability to not only scientifically and mathematically massage your brain, but see a finished product. Hopefully you remembered to put both cups of flour in (speaking from experience here).

Baking is exercise: Okay, so maybe I’m a little biased here, but for me, I try really hard not to use my mixer when I don’t have to, and I remember even as a kid, when you get a good cookie dough going, it gets tough to mix after a while. Reaching for ingredients? Or the fact that you’re probably standing while you’re mixing all these ingredients. Point being: at least you’re not sitting doing nothing. See reason #5.

Baking is good: This blog has brought me a lot of joy, and whenever I feel like I’m less of a person, or like all the effort I’m putting into the things I’m doing is amounting to nothing, I’ll look to this blog for visible proof that I’ve grown and evolved over the past three years, and my followers here appreciate when I post new recipes for them to hate me for making and not giving to them personally. Sorry guys, you know I’d totally bake for all of you! ;)

Bake it out guys.

having finally gotten around to watching hannibal, I'm now viewing the maillardet's logo in a whole new light

Do you want to know what the BEST part is? I drew the logo, so if I ever get that teal version of it tattooed on myself, I can legitimately point to it and whisper this is my design.

YA LIT MEME: 6/8 supporting characters

3. Amira bint Balqis (The Posterchildren)

The Internet had offered her no shortage of opinions on the Golden Set’s token female founder. Since her mother had been an Ethiopian woman who married a Lebanese businessman through an arrangement, everyone had an opinion on whether or not the Queen was oppressed— and if so, how oppressed? Did she oppress herself?
Amira had written several autobiographical pieces on the subject of her gender and her religion, but since she covered herself, she was deemed too oppressed to be objective about the whole thing.

we’re only young and naive | a fanmix for the posterchildren
(listen on 8tracks)

warrior - ke$ha | we were born to break the doors down, fight until the end / it’s something that’s inside of us, it’s how we’ve always been

young volcanoes - fall out boy | we are wild, we are like young volcanoes

by your side - jeanna pugh |just hold on a little bit longer / just hang tight now / this will make us stronger

youth - daughter | we are the reckless, we are the wild youth / chasing visions of our futures

saturday morning - eels | nothing’s ever gonna happen ‘round here / if we don’t make it happen

young blood - the naked and famous | we’re only young and naive still / we require certain skills / the mood it changes like the wind / hard to control when it begins

response - barcelona | i’ll tear down this place, i’ve known it since she told me / make sure to take everything they have

anna sun - walk the moon | we got no money, but we got heart / we’re gonna rattle this ghost town

carry one - fun. | cause here we are / we are shining star / we are invincible / we are who we are
