Tom Bronson fans I have an important question: what voice type do we think he has, tenor, baritone, or bass?
I wonder how long Waid's been champing at the bit to write this scene...
“#personally I headcannon he's a tenor #to juxtapose Ted who has a deep gravely voice #I like the metaphors of it #but he's also versatile #like he can sing punk/rock/grunge stuff but can also falsetto like an Angel #like he had a playlist that goes all over the place #he'll be singing Smells Like Teen Spirit like he's an angsty teen in his bedroom #then Sherry by the Four Seasons comes on and he sings like he's Frankie Valli (and also hitting the low notes) #meanwhile Ted is trying to watch a boxing match but is watching the mini concert as Tom cleans the kitchen #but that's just my headcannons #tom bronson #ted grant #tomcat dc #wildcat dc”
Hiding the best hcs in the tags OP!!
Question is, are the free concerts more endearing for Ted, or more baffling to his old man brain?

Batman Vs. Robin #1 - “Reunion” (2022)
written by Mark Waid art by Mahmud Asrar & Jordie Bellaire
Imagine you’re a Gotham mook out for your daily mugging and you’re holding up some punk kid but the idiot won’t stop laughing and it’s freaking you out because kid, what’s wrong wit ya, I’ve got a gun here
And he’s still laughing and he goes “man, are you unlucky today” and you’re like “what” and he goes “my dad’s in town” and nods at something behind you
And you turn, your heart dropping because oh Christ did you just mug one of the bats but then you see a giant red leotard and you’re full of relief because oh it’s just that rubber comedian guy from the Justice League
But then you see his face
And more importantly, the expression on it
And you’re suddenly struck with the realization that you have just pissed off an immortal, invincible lunatic with fists the size of skyscrapers who will not hesitate to beat you into a pretzel and you’re about to become a casualty of Gotham’s natural selection process while learning why the first rule of being a crook in Gotham has nothing to do with the Bat or that goddamn clown, but rather is if you value the integrity of your bones do not FUCKING touch Plastic Man’s Goddamn SON
This page, from Terrifics 11, always breaks my heart, not going to lie. It really contexualizes Plas’ character into a man who is so committed to being one thing, a hero, that he doesn’t (or maybe can’t) let himself be anything else, like a father and husband.
To me, that gels a whole ton more with his characterization from way back in the Golden Age. Then, you NEVER saw Eel even referenced after issue 26*. He got depressed at the thought of being unable to be a hero. And not because he was a gloryhound, but because it’s just who he is
He lived and breathed being Plastic Man, he never was (or maybe let himself be) anything or anyone else. No romance, no raising a family, just being Plastic Man. His home was even addressed in name of Plastic Man!
So seeing Plas that actually had a family, actually let himself fall in love with someone, raise a son, and then having it all fall apart because he can’t let go of being a hero… it’s sad. But good stuff.
But really, it’s all how I see it, and how I feel about it. It’s probably not what anyone else thinks of it, haha.
* The last story Eel was used as an alternate identity for Plastic Man was issue 14, and was last SEEN in issue 19 (in what I feel is a very character defining moment)

Hello everyone💐
I am Mahmoud Al Sharif, married and have 3 children. My wife gave birth to a newborn baby on August ,12 ,2024.
We are from the Gaza Strip, which suffers from wars. I lived through 5 of these wars, and I lost my eyes and fingers hand , and my other eye was damaged. These were the previous wars until this 2023 war came and destroyed everything from my home and my workplace.
Please, can you see my story and judge if it is important or not🙏. My family faces unimaginable challenges living in Gaza. We are seeking your support to help us find a safe and hopeful future outside this conflict zon💔

Many times I feel like the sad fish you 'buy for a child because its low maintenance', stop doing that
Not to be a killjoy (though it is what I do best) but the unsafe and rough handling of a baby Pygmy hippo in a pretty substandard Thai zoo being meme-ed into something funny and cute really shows just how much groupthink plays into public perception of animal welfare.
Moo Deng shows avoidance, threat displays and stress around her keepers that are constantly man-handling her, blasting her with a hose and harassing her. The enclosure is mostly concrete, which is horrible for her soft feet. There looks to be some substrate but there doesn’t seem to be any areas for wallowing or deep water wading.
There’s also very easy access of this hippo to the public with no places to hide. I’d love if someone could shed more light on the enclosures but from what I’ve seen it’s not great.
Also the free contact and forcing into tubs that the keepers do is only going to create an avoidant and potentially aggressive and dangerous Pygmy hippo.
But the public happily overlook that because she’s cute. It’s a similar attitude with seals too.
Stop rewarding bad husbandry with clout. Baby animals deserve agency and respect and to grow up without getting harassed and feeling the need to defend themselves constantly.
please talk about your mh au i would love to hear it (if you want to of course!)
I’ve let this ask rot for like MONTHS in my inbox (probably less. i have a bad memory) but here goes!
my au blends the elements from the three existing MH gens that I like the most, and has Frankie and Jackson as the main characters. The both of them are the new kids to Monster High… and just new to the monster world in general. Frankie (they/them, MCR listener) has only Teen Beast magazines as their guide to this mystery called “social interaction”, and Jackson (he/plural they) has, on top of his pre-existence awkwardness, to cope with a monstrous alter ego of his very own. They become instant friends, of course.
In my AU:
-the wave one characters (plus Jackson, with Abbey and Heath on the side) are the main friend group the story is focused on.
-monsters live amongst humans, but usually in hiding, since humans are terrified of them. “The monster world” is basically an in-universe equivalent of a gothic underground subculture, or the queer scene.
-monsters navigate life through reverse “good is bad” cartoon logic. “Creepy” means “cute”, “scary” means “cool”, etc.
-Holt, Deuce, and Heath form a punk rock band. Toralei and the werecat twins are in a band as well and are their rivals. That, and Toralei and Cleo’s beef, is what makes both friend groups clash all the time.
-Draculaura is a rebel and all she does makes Dracula angry, disappointed, or upset. First she left her bloodthirsty ways to go vegan, then she got into lolita fashion, and now she wants to learn witchcraft despite Dracula’s life-long mistrust of witches… it’s like a curse!
-the four Wolf siblings are each rebels too… in their own ways. Clawdia isn’t athletic like other werewolves, Clawd plans to go to medical school (gasp!), Clawdeen is an artist and fashion designer that refuses to join packs or follow orders… and Howleen is Howleen.
-A lot of monsters are part human, or have a human origin, though the most conservative monsters consider them lesser, and those who look “too human” are met with disdain. For instance: Deuce is half human, but he rarely talks about it. Clawdeen’s dad was turned into a werewolf instead of born as one, which is seen as pitiful by some (and makes it hard for her and her siblings to control their transformations). Heath is also half human, and his full-demon extended family picks on him for it. Jackson and Holt (and their dads) are too-often seen as freaks from both sides.
-Lagoona’s father is the creature from the black lagoon, but her mother is a coral reef nymph, so she’s Colombian-Australian. Like most monster hybrids, she’s seen as “weird”. Her ditziness, mood swings, and cannibalistic tendencies have helped cement her reputation as a bit of a weirdo, but she’s one of the most popular sportmonsters of the school, so nobody says anything.
-Other detail worth mentioning is that Ghoulia died in 2005, and she still dresses (and acts) like it was the early aughties, down to her favorite pieces of media being mostly from that time period and her keeping her outrageous scene bangs (now splattered with her blood and bits of her brains).
-Cleo is a CryptTok influencer.
Remember Marcellus Williams! A black Muslim man falsely accused. Remember that he's innocent. Remember that the governor of Missouri, mike Parson who had the opportunity to save this man's life, decided not to. Remember all but three supreme court justices decided his life wasn't worth saving either. Remember his face. Remember his Last words. And remember how fucked up this country is
Rest in peace Marcellus
Of Bats and Dragons by LanternWisp I believe! I highly recommend it!!
“Cass and Tim like to say that they’re twins!”
It would make more sense and be way funnier if Cass and Jason were the ones doing that. They’re canonically so close in age that the fandom likes to say there’s a debate with the family about if Jason is older or if Cass is because the time he was dead doesn’t count. Also you could debate that Jason is canonically at least half Asian in some way because a lot of people tend to either forget or just don’t know that Lady Shiva was one of the women on the list when he was looking for his mom.

Trapped family in Gaza appeals for help to survive
I'm a mother of a 2-year-old child. His name is yousef... I see my son growing up in front of me and I do not know how or when. This is not what I wished for him. I was dreaming of a wonderful life to spend with him...a life not full of death, fear, destruction and deprivation...I wanted to fill his room with toys and his closet with clothes, and I wanted to buy children's books for him, but I couldn't...the war came and the wishes were gone...my goal became to provide him with milk and food. I can barely afford anything. Everything is expensive and we no longer have income to enable us to buy his needs. Kram eggs have been deprived of many of his basic needs. He has been deprived of safety and stability..No, fruits, or meat.
There is nothing but fear that fills my son's eyes as soon as he hears the voices around him. He does not realize what It happens outside, but he feels and sees it in our eyes when he looks at us.I cannot protect myself and my son. Help me to save my son yousef. He deserves a better life, as do all the children of Gaza and the world. Alone, I cannot, but with your help, we will be able to find a safe place and a better future for my son. Be a reason to change a child's life for the better by visiting our link on GoFundMe. And donate anything to us, no matter how small...every dollar makes a difference and give a life for my son..
I am Youssef. I was very young at the beginning of the war, but now I have grown up and can walk and know how to speak and understand everything. I hope to get your help in publishing or donating on our Aaljo Fund Me account

5£ may seem small
The most difficult decision for us was to leave our country, to leave Gaza, overcome the obstacles we faced and the losses we suffered, and begin a new life from scratch.
🚨 Urgent Appeal: Do Not Scroll Past This! 🚨
🚨 This GoFundMe will get VETTED by butterflyeffect.project soon
🎉 Thank you so much to everyone who donated and shared our GoFundMe! We’ve hit $5000, and we couldn’t have done it without your incredible support. Your generosity means the world to us!
Dear Tumblr Friends,
I’m begging you—please, do not scroll past this post. Mohammed, his family, and his young niece are in a desperate situation, and they need our help urgently.
The airstrike that shattered their lives has claimed the lives of everyone in his niece's family—leaving her completely alone. They have lost everything: their loved ones, their home, and their sense of security. 😢💔
Now, they are living in a tent, struggling daily with no fresh water and barely any food. To make matters worse, Mohammed’s brother is still missing. Their situation is critical and time is running out. 🚨
Mohammed is trying to escape to safety in Egypt, but the cost is staggering: $5,000 per person. Without these funds, their chance to flee their nightmare is slipping away. 😔💔
Here’s how you can make a REAL difference:
Donate: Every dollar counts. Your contribution can help cover the crossing fees and offer Mohammed and his family a glimmer of hope for a safer future. 🌟💪
Share: Spread their story. The more people who hear this, the closer we get to our goal. Your voice matters! 📢💬
Offer Support: If you have any resources, connections, or ideas to help, don’t hesitate to reach out. Every bit of assistance can change their lives. 🤝💖
Please, don't let this opportunity to help slip away. Their lives depend on our collective action. Your support can mean everything to them in this critical time.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness and support. Together, we can make a life-saving difference. 🙏✨
JSA #2 by Jeff Lemire and Diego Olortegui. Cover by Cully Hamner. Variant covers by (2) Leandro Fernández and (3) Sweeney Boo. Out in December.
"Flash back to the events leading into the previous issue as the JSA investigates a break-in at the observatory of Ted Knight, the original Starman. How was the JSA separated, and where is the Tower of Fate? What caused the rift between Jade and Obsidian after the disappearance of their father, Green Lantern Alan Scott? And what is the Injustice Society of America plotting?"
Ooh he’d be so messy about it still. Best case scenario I see happening at that point in their relationship would probably be Alan tracking Todd down because Jennie or Al literally tells him they’re worried about him, and walks in on Ian being… well, Ian. INSTANT energy blast to the chest, which I’m not sure Todd would’ve responded well to 😬

All jokes and camp aside, I think Roy is more an uncle/big brother to Rose and Grant than a dad.
Very much there is a paternalistic dynamic- but that is not the same as being someone’s Dad, y’now? A lot of ppl’s stepdad ain’t their Dad.
My grandpa ain’t my Dad. My uncle half- raised me because I was the kid of a single mom and she trusted him enough to pay him like he was a daycare. HE ain’t my Dad, even if that relationship is no less profound.
Words cannot express how utterly disappointed I am when it comes to helping Sudan. People are hesitant to show their support. They would even dismiss it. No, I am not making this shit up. I have been talking to people about Sudan and their reaction is lacklustre!
I know anti-blackness plays a significant role, along with the lack of media coverage (which is, again, due to anti-blackness), but this is unacceptable. Many people are dying. The country going through a flooding. Homes are destroyed. Families are displaced. Famine is claiming more lives than the RSF (Rapid Support Forces) and SAF (Sudanese Armed Forces) combined.
They need our help!
There is one way you can show your support! Kindly have a look at this fundraiser. It belongs to Eman Abdelrahman (@emooz-8). She is a 25 year old Sudanese and she is raising funds to evacuate. She has been campaigning since January of this year, but she struggles to receive donations to this day! The last one was made 2 DAYS AGO!
Let's pick up the pace and aim for a doable goal once again - 30K in 3 days! As of writing this (Sept 9th), 29,517 CHF has been raised! There is only 483 CHF left to go! Please check your currency exchange. It is in Swiss Franc! ($10 USD = 8 CHF)
There is also a fundraiser for her extended family. Please keep in mind that it is in Singaporean Dollars, so double check with your currency exchange! ($10 USD = $13 SGD)
You can even match me! I've given 5 CHF and $5 SGD!

Thank you!
