Look mom! I killed another one!

Guess who picked up a super fun comic, tore through three trades, then wanted to find folks talking about it and searched on BluSky... to find it got cancelled the very day she picked it up? AYUP.

Why aren't people buying super fun team comics?? *shakes fist at universe*
(yes it was cancelled due to poor sales)

The comic in question? Birds of Prey, written by Kelly Thompson. It had team! Quips! Competency! Siblings! Big Barda and Tiny Bat!! Muscles and mind-controlled beefcakes!

The last issue comes out in December and I'd prefer to pick up the trade. When I went to check if we'd even get volume 4 - comics! they treat us so well! - there was some good sprinkled in there. Firstly, she's pitching a new book at DC featuring a couple of the characters from BoP. My feral mind is slamming both fists on the table, chanting "Big and tiny! Big and tiny!" Probably not but gimme.

Secondly, Thompson's heading up the new Buffy and Angel run at Dynamite!
In my early days trying to figure out how to be a writer and what stories mattered to me and why — no heroine quite broke through for me like Buffy Summers.

She was somehow everything my young geek heart had always wanted but hadn’t known to ask for. Something about that delicate alchemy of horror, fantasy, and comedy paired with a hero so pure of heart and yet flawed and relatable was… impossible to deny. I fell deeply in love with Buffy, and following that, her whole world. Her ex-boyfriend is now a supernatural detective in Los Angeles you say? Inject it directly into my veins! But unlike a lot of other worlds I loved, the world of Buffy and Angel somehow never fell to the wayside. I could always come back to it and find something new, or something I’d missed, or something I needed. And I hope this new story we’re telling can do the same for old and new fans everywhere.

Thank god BOOM! lost the license because oof. Outside of the pretty covers and first issue, that was rough to say the least.

But I'm excited for this! We could, dare I say it, get a good Buffy comic.

Wednesday What I'm...

Late, whoops!

Reading
  • I finished The Entanglement of Rival Wizards by Sara Raasch. Very good! Lots of drama and romance and some very interesting worldbuilding. Definitely looking forward to the next book in the series.
  • I read Spread Me by Sarah Gailey. It was pretty good, but I think I had my weirdness hopes up a little too high after seeing them at a bookstore event on Sunday. Or maybe I'm just too weird for it to be as weird as I wanted lol
  • I read some more of Lirael by Garth Nix. I'm really close to the end, but I'd forgotten that nothing really wraps up in this book...
  • I started reading National Dish: Around the World in Search of Food, History, and the Meaning of Home by Anya von Bremzen. Very interesting to see what she says about the intersection of food and culture. (If I ever actually go to grad school, chances are high that would be my topic of study, so.)
  • Ficwise, I'm still in KinnPorsche land. I went back through the ArmTae tag and read some of the WIPs I'd avoided the first time. Currently I'm reading a kinky VegasPete series.
Watching
  • The roommate and I watched My School President. Our first show with GeminiFourth! And they were adorable, as expected, as were WinnySatang. Once again, I love a school drama lol Also love Fourth, who is quickly becoming one of my faves.
  • The roommate and I started watching Hidden Agenda, the only JoongDunk show we hadn't watched yet. Honestly very similar to MSP at the beginning, but I don't mind. Enjoying it a lot.
  • We watched the latest episode of Revamp the Undead Story with the best friend. Loved Ramil and Pong bonding.
  • We watched another episode of Dead Friend Forever - DFF with the best friend. I honestly have no idea what's happening, but it's fun and very spooky lol
  • We also watched the first episode of That Summer, which just started airing, with the best friend. I feel like they fit so much in the first episode! Very excited to see where it's going.
  • AEW as usual ish. There was a PPV Saturday which was actually much better than I'd been afraid it would be. Honestly wasn't sure we'd keep regularly watching if it sucked, but thankfully it didn't! They also teased Orange Cassidy's return for last night, so the roommate and I are finally feeling a bit more excited for wrestling lol
Listening
  • More t-pop, to no one's surprise...
Writing
  • I am still obsessed with ArmTae, which means I started writing a fic! Fingers crossed for finishing it, because it's been a long time since I wrote and finished a fic not for something.
  • I also started writing my assignment for [community profile] crossworks . I think it's pretty fun lol

Post brought to you by Red Bull.

+ Fishery has been so consistently bad there's talk of maybe heading home a little earlier. I wouldn't mind. I've been cope-eating my way through the whole trip lol. Pity I undid all the progress I made last trip, but I gotta keep my spirits up some way, and right now that's via candy and comics.

The weather is also kind of shit, and looking to get shittier. Like, no fishery and go seek shelter by the coast shittier.

+ I sometimes stop by creativenarket.com for their weekly batch of free goods, and this week they've got a 1300 pack of really versatile marker elements up for grabs. Lines, boxes, circles, icons... could do a lot of fun stuff with it!
(I haven't made icons in so long *sob*)

+ My dad had a skin cancer scare last week, but thankfully they caught it in time! (by which I mean, the doctor said it looked ok, he insisted they remove it, and then it turned out to be cancerous. So happy my dad's a stubborn one.) They've taken further tests and found no sign of it having spread, so he should be in the clear.

+ I did send him the link to this study: Daily vitamin B3 dose cuts skin cancer risk by up to 54%. Very large pool of participants, I feel more than sturdy enough to pester him about adding some vitamins. (I'll also have to push when it comes to sunblock *sigh*)
Overall, niacinamide – also known as nicotinamide, a vitamin B3 form found in food and supplements that supports cellular energy, DNA repair and healthy skin – was associated with a 14% lower risk of developing skin cancer. When people began nicotinamide after having earlier received a positive skin cancer diagnosis, the reduction in risk was 54%. What's more, the effect was seen in both basal cell carcinoma and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, with the largest drop in squamous cell cancers.

+ Italian workers’ strike in solidarity with Gaza brings disruptions across the country.

+ House Arab.
I watched in real time as the consensus congealed; by Sunday morning, everyone seemed to agree that the events of the previous day could only be interpreted as senseless barbarism or perhaps an Iranian plot, but absolutely not as a legible expression of rage by a people the world had left to die.

+ With the Serial Numbers Filed Off: The Problem with Trad Pub Fanfic.

+ [personal profile] sholio posted a bunch of Murderbot fic recs, bless. Bookverse short gen and longer iddy plot fics, PLUS a fic of their own: Crime And Punishment, Mensah POV, 2500 words. I'm not allowing myself a break from my current book, but very excited to dig in after.

...I didn't have a Murderbot tag shame on me.
eta also, schneefink.

+ ‘Andor’ Writer Dan Gilroy On Disney Suspending Jimmy Kimmel & Hollywood Facing “Venomous Evil”.
Their goal is to instill fear, to make you feel helpless, hopeless, to break you down. Don’t let them. Educate yourself. Organize. Speak truth to authority. Because the story’s not written — the pen is in your hand.
(they did decide to reinstate Kimmel. And then announced a price hike hours later 🫠)

+ The ‘blue dragon’ is back from the brink and Global Conservation Protection of Calakmul Helps Increase Jaguar Population by 30%. More pretty dragons and pretty cats \o/

+ The US town that pays every pregnant woman $1,500.
The town of Flint made headlines a decade ago when pediatrician Mona Hanna discovered lead levels in local children’s blood had risen dangerously after the city switched its water supply to the Flint River. The coalition that came together to protect children then continued to advocate for children after the water crisis resolved, Hanna said.
