jessica jones

revvethasmythh

the thing is that the original jessica jones show was a beautiful nexus of the most awful women you could fathom to meet. led by our intrepid misanthropic alcoholic ptsd-riddled heroine who violently pushes people away so she can be alone with her own misery, also featuring her cptsd poster child adopted sister who struggles with substance abuse, relentless ambition, and a mountain-sized ego that has her convinced she has a pure and correct grasp of right and wrong above all others, also featuring an unrepentantly unpleasant and unlikeable high-powered lesbian lawyer with a terminal illness who cheats on her wife with a secretary and later instigates the murder of the other lover she took after getting swindled. who else has done wretched women quite like this, in leading roles, without letting you squirm away from either their best or their ugliest aspects

Daredevil Season 2 had me thinking about Jessica Jones.

no one whos not in love with jean grey could put up with dating scott summers for that long. and vice versa

Look, I love Scott. I really love him. But still, accurate.

I believe there's some weird paradox where Emma wants Scott as a weird proxy for wanting Jean and not admitting it to herself, and Logan wants Jean as a weird transposition of his wanting Scott. A polycule would solve most of these problems.

Black Comic Alliance Announces Stage 2: DCBlackout, Escalating Calls for Structural Change at DC Comics

The Black Comic Alliance, the collective of content creators behind the viral #DCSoWhite campaign, has officially announced Stage 2 of its advocacy movement: DCBlackout, a coordinated protest calling on readers, supporters, and content creators to withhold financial support and pause content creation tied to DC Comics publishing initiatives until meaningful structural changes are made around…

TEN in FIFTY years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ID: Text that reads: "In almost 50 years, DC has only had 10 Black ongoing series in its mainline continuity, with only 1 surpassing 50 issues, and not a single [title led by a] Black woman. They constantly blame sales, but they're playing a game with the deck stacked against us. This needs to stop," said James Portis III, also known as JPenumbra. /End ID.]

Excerpt from the article for convenience:

What DCBlackout Calls For

The DCBlackout initiative outlines several coordinated actions for supporters and participants, including:

Posting on social media and calling for DC Comics to publish 1 to 3 new ongoing series for Black heroes in its mainline continuity, led by strong Black creative teams

Canceling pull list subscriptions for DC titles, including ongoing series, miniseries, and collected editions, until a Black-led ongoing is solicited and supported

Raising awareness about how digital sales are not valued the same as preorder single issues in industry decision-making

Demanding transparent, long-term investment in Black representation across publishing

Supporting Black creators through independent and creator-owned projects

Encouraging broader industry conversations around equity, visibility, and sustainability

and you know what's really fucked up about a site like rco getting taken down? there are a ton of comics that you genuinely can't acquire elsewhere. during the height of my involvement in the dc fandom i did pay for so-called 'unlimited' access to the dc catalogue and there were huge swathes of comics- comics that weren't even that old or obscure! fucking batman annuals!!- that just did not appear in dc's database. a couple of these titles were available for purchase on amazon but the vast majority were not for sale through any official channel. so unless you were willing to shell out absurd amounts of money on the secondhand collector's market- which wouldn't benefit the copyright holder at all anyway!- rco or a similar site was your only option. it's just ridiculous.
