Batman Vs. Robin #1 - Reunion (2022)

Batman Vs. Robin #1 - “Reunion” (2022)

written by Mark Waid art by Mahmud Asrar & Jordie Bellaire

Blah blah Daddy issues and anger issues. The most important part of Orion’s story is how he wholeheartedly believes that he is doomed to a violent and tragic fate but accepts it eagerly because he can make that terrible end into an act of sacrifice that will better the universe. The most important part of Orion’s story is how those around him are split between believing the same yet loving him with no reservation even in anticipation of heartbreak, and those who defy fate and prophecy with the desperate insistence that he will live. If you even care

Lightray is always among the latter btw

mushroom chat just dropped

6/24/2023: Two links to share!

Someone made an Epub version of Memoirs of a Man's Maiden Years, which you can find Here , as a more accessible version than a pdf of a scanned book if you're like me and need larger text size for reading--

And from another post I reblogged earlier today, I discovered the existence of "TransSisters: the Journal of Transsexual Feminism", which has 10 issues from 1993-1995, and includes multiple interviews with Leslie Feinburg and other queer feminists / activists of the 90s!

Here's a link to all 10 issues of TransSisters, plus a 1996 "look back at" by one of the writers after the journal ended, you can find all 10 issues on the Internet Archive Here !

This is a living post that receives sporadic updates on the original, if you are seeing this on your dash, click Here to see the latest version of the post to make sure you're reblogging the most up to date one :)

Love your blog! Totally cool if you don’t jive with this question, I’m on a rattlesnake kick- general consensus seems to be that rattlesnake “aggression” ranges from Black Tailed (not gonna bite unless really really antagonized*) to Mojave (easiest to set off + stands ground so firmly it gets misread as the aggressor)

Do you think this is an accurate way of looking at it? If so, where do you think some other species would rank on this scale (e.g, southwestern speckled or Arizona black)?

* leave the venomous noodles alone even if unlikely to bite of course

I love rattlesnakes and I think I've worked with every species native to the US! They're generally some of my absolute favorite snakes to work with.

Important note first, just in case any readers don't know: it's inaccurate to call any snake "aggressive," they're just animals and snakes are timid as a rule. Some species are more defensive than others, and it's important to remember most snakes have a high tolerance for human foolishness and will only bite when they feel afraid or threatened.

The vast majority of rattlesnakes tend to be very timid, sensitive snakes! Blacktails are absolutely the most easy-going I've ever met, I did a tagging project on a population a few years back and they're so sweet you feel kind of silly holding them on a hook. Timber rattlers are also very mild-mannered, as are Arizona blacks.

Smaller species, like sidewinders, tend to be a bit snappy and more easily startled, but that's standard for smaller snakes in general. Pygmy rattlers are an exception to that rule - they're the smallest rattlesnakes but are right up there with blacktails as super chill little dudes.

Most species of rattlers aren't super defensive snakes, but there are a few that stand out. Mojaves, as you mention, but I think the most defensive I've ever worked with tend to be western diamondbacks.

Honestly, wild rattlesnakes, even diamondbacks, are some of the easiest venomous snakes to work with (in a professional setting and with appropriate equipment, of course!), and across species the socialized rattlers in venom labs and wildlife centers are a dream. Even the most defensive rattlers I've ever met have nothing on bullsnakes - the difference is, of course, that rattlesnakes can envenomate you!

I mean EVERYONE btw. I’m talking Al just scooping him up under one arm and walking off while Grant yells at him. Roy, Bart, and later Tommy tossing him over a shoulder to get a reaction or haul tail out of a situation. Jesse re-enacting the “do I weigh anything to you?” meme. Reuniting with a Lian who’s almost as tall as him.

You know they really missed out not making Grant a shorty like his father. It could have really emphasized his vulnerability and age; I like to imagine being him in the same “everyone looks at him and sees his dead parent” boat as Dinah II…

…Most importantly I love them idea of people just picking him up and carrying places :]
