fine I'll do it I'll make an about me post (this sounds begrudging but I actually am excited to do so)

anyway hi! my name's kili (yes like the dwarf in the hobbit) and uh here's some stuff about me that's not in my blog description

I like comics! I like them a lot. I'm actually a way bigger marvel fan than dc fan (just because dc's continuity mess is a lot for my stickler-for-cohesiveness brain to handle) but I do love a good dc comic it has to be said.

I also like superheroes! one of these first two points may be a side effect of the other.

I read comics! I know a lot of marvel and dc fans don't (which is fine) but yeah I do so generally speaking I tend to be talking about those more. also it's been my special interest for like nineplus years so I know a lot. sorry in advance.

I am a proud member of the "charles xavier sucks" club. the man should not be trusted with anyone's children. ever. or adults. or even like plants. just put him in a little cardboard box with a plastic cactus. he'll be fine.

I really enjoy storytelling, both doing it myself and analyzing how other people do it. the second thing is much easier to do than the first but I try my best! (I'm black_banners_raised on ao3, by the way)

if you're ever confused by my tone please ask! I am sometimes confusing and I don't mind clarifying.

I also really really like music and I probably won't post about it much but I have playlists for a lot of stories/characters and I love thinking about sound and lyrics and all of that. it's just another form of storytelling! and it's such a fun form too.

I like parentheses (this is probably obvious)

I'm not a great artist but I absolutely love fanart! (people who can draw have my eternal admiration)

I'll probably think of other things and add them later

and yeah that's me! hi it's nice to meet you

“Larper” being used like “poser” is so annoying bc actual LARPers are cool as hell. Get me some armour and a fake sword too

auto immune disorders happen when the immune system ignores regulatory factors and begins attacking healthy bodily tissues, due to what scientists refer to as "sheer love of the game"

I bring the "yeah so why is there only 5 women and 22 men in the cast of Doomsday" type energy that most of the Marvel fandom doesn't appreciate

just a heads up if I see you calling a female character a mary sue you're going in the block box. it is 2026 I know we can critique characters with actual words that mean something

[batmanego]

more people need to consume media how dedicated comics fans consume their media of choice

[batmanego]

go up to any comics fan and ask them which writers house they would mail pipe bombs to and they’ll list of at the bare minimum 5 different people. ask them their favorite character and you’ll be greeted with an answer followed by why every comic ever featuring that character has been literally the worst and they refuse to read it again. truly i don’t think there’s another group of people so invested in something that they truly despise to such a great degree.

to people who keep saying that this applies to their respective fandom: you will never experience this

Emily Wilson has inadvertently created a fascinating new way to categorize basically any visual media ever made

the generational gap between me and the people my age who were allowed to watch spongebob

[dctrfate]

silver age comics can either feel like the most exhausting laborious trudge through the mud or a bright-eyed bushy-tailed trek on a nice sunny day and yes this feeling will change from issue to issue and no you cannot skip through blindly you have to pay attention or else you'll miss a critical mind-blowing detail that will have you staring at the wall for a minute or two.
