Do you think Clark Kent's first few major articles were about the continued presence of lead pipes in parts of Metropolis' water system

[teaboot]

(Average Metropolis reader after investigative reporter C. Kent's 452nd article on yet another case of landlords/business owners/factories' continued use of lead pipes/paint/gas/glass knowingly exposing the public to dangerously toxic lead levels) what the fuck happened to this guy

[teaboot]

One day Bruce Wayne mentions in an interview that heroes like Superman are overrated, as the most effective way to reduce crime is to provide public resources and improve local infrastructure, then cites how neighboring city Metropolis has effectively lowered their violent crime by 13% after addressing their outdated water system and investing low income housing. the reporter conducting the interview suddenly starts looking a little uncomfortable

[teaboot]

To be clear, Clark is still a fantastic investigative reporter. He still has to track down the sources to prove all this shit

[teaboot]

"Who, Clark Kent? Yeah, we're pretty sure he's a Meta. Is he a superhero? Like what, "Lead-detector guy"? "Captain pipes?" Don't get me wrong, he's a great guy and it's a handy trick, but it's lead detection, not laser vision. He's not about to go running around in tights any time soon."

I just love the idea of a cape maintaining their secret identity by pretending to be a completely different and less impressive kind of parahuman.

[roach-works]

everyone assumes that kent is so squirrely around superheros because he’s just desperately hoping not to be conscripted to the JLA to fix their plumbing

Local Metropolis Reporter Publically Recognized For Contributions To The City; Awarded Medal Of Distinction

[championofdnd]

They tried to get superman to present the medal but he was offended at being called "overrated" in comparison to Clark so he declined

Counter offer: Bruce Wayne disguised as Superman

Me after watching The Electric State

[dissonantartist]

came back to tumblr just to try to find anybody else who liked this movie

[dissonantartist]

i came to arcane late. I didn’t want to watch it (i knew it would make me sad) until my roommate basically forced me too. i was somebody who cared a lot about the sibling relationship between jinx and vi. As an older sibling myself I think it hit on a lot of fears and emotions i had around my relationship with my little brother.

i’ve finished the show now

[dissonantartist]

how long is that montage in victor’s strange community? how long did jinx and vi spend just sitting each others company for the first time in years? how many conversations did they have about little meaningless things? Did they ever talk about the big things? -Reminisce over Vander, talk about their fears that he can’t be saved? How many times did vi bond with Isha- did they chuckle over this silly little kid that wandered into Jinx’s life? How many times did they sit together in a strange place, among more nature than they ever have before? how many nights did they get a restful sleep? how many times did they sit there, peaceful and hopeful for the future, together?

i’m normal

[embershroud108]

Unfortunately I think they were there for only for a couple of days. Not nothing but not long enough. :(

[dissonantartist]

DAMMIT

for all your cosplay needs here’s this id badge for Martin. I used it recently for my own outfit and it prints well.

i made it using clip studio. if you want to modify it for any of the other institute employees go ahead! it was made with the font Optima Bold. i just sized it in google docs and printed it out

i got the other parts from walmart. the frame is: “Pen + Gear Vertical Durable Plastic Metallic Badge Card Holder” (but you could adjust it to fit whatever holder you need)

and you could pretty much use any lanyard here, i just got a plain black one.

[dissonantartist]

only just now getting to ep 14-15 of tmp because i always listen with my friend and we’ve been busy. but i thought this was really funny

[dissonantartist]

i like to call this one ‘transfer’

so i’m going to try to not be too long or pretentious but:

Martin Blackwood is very important to me because you see basically every plus size character in media be a malicious slob. villains or comedic relief- not a person but an idea to be mocked or pitied. But here- where we can’t even see these characters, is the only place where I’ve seen a real human portrayal of somebody with a larger body type. Somebody who’s loved! That’s crazy! We aren’t supposed to think we can be loved

the art itself is really flawed. in the future i’m going to have more interesting compositions- try and make things less flat. but after the hours of work and love i put into this I can’t let my shame shove it away.

anyway

[dissonantartist]

i do enjoy how malevolent insists on gendering eldritch creatures that have been around since before time.

Found a Darkthur sketch in procreate from about a month ago, decided to clean it up the tiniest bit to post. I know this isn’t necessarily the only or the most likely interpretation, but I absolutely love the narrative idea of this Arthur cutting off his own left arm when John gets too uppity.

[dissonantartist]

YOOOHFHDHDHDHDZ

[dissonantartist]

spoiler? idk

i firmly believe in the tiny ponytail. dude was NOT getting haircuts in the dreamlands. also i know that the ear didn’t happen till later but i find it so fun to draw.

anyway it turns out a detail oriented art style involves a lot of details that take time. so this has taken FOREVER

[dissonantartist]

ok so for the people that draw john a little more human-like (like with a face and all that) I think it would be silly and funny for his features to mimic arthur’s a bit

that’s all

[dissonantartist]

i fully have to wait till the weekend to listen to malevolent bc I cannot act normal the rest of the day.

[dissonantartist]

oh fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck

[dissonantartist]

so turns out i REALLY love painting hair. i can hide all the little sparklies i want.

i’m very excited about this piece in general. he is just so

[dissonantartist]

jack (before i add in all the blood)

fun fact: “I’m dying” is the first line of my book.

[dissonantartist]

trying is never enough.

I FULLY THREW MY PHONE WHEN I SAW 300 NOTES ON THIS THANK YOUUU
