hi, would you like to talk to me about moon knight
@moonknighttism
only person alive who thinks the bemis run slapped crow& (fey/it/she) • 21, plural, autistic • here to talk comics except it’s just moon knight (except rn it's almost all x-men)
hi! i’m crow& (fey/it/she)! i am a plural trans dyke who is incredibly autistic about moon knight! my art blog is @crowpunkco, but i reblog my fanart back here too! (i interact from @/bodyetal.)
what you probably want/need to know:
i’m here to have fun and get silly! if you think you recognize me from my work, you probably do, but for the love of g-d don’t bring it up on my silly moon knight blog.
i block liberally and you should too! it is not personal.
no dni, just don’t act like a dick.
i tag elaborately (sorry and/or you’re welcome), i’ll probably have a list soon. edit: i was lying
bonus stuff to know about me:
the current characters i’m carrying in my mouth are benji deeds (x-men), julian keller (x-men), jay guthrie (x-men), doug ramsey (x-men), 8-ball (MK), profile (MK), 616!jake lockley (MK), and quentin quire (x-men). you’ve been warned
i’m a member of a plural* collective! being plural is what led me to watch moon knight, being Autistic is what led me… here. (*please do not call me an alter, i am a headmate/person.)
i believe in fucking appreciating the people who make our comics! i have tags for individual writers, pencillers, inkers, colorists, artists, and letterers, and i use them whenever i’m focusing on the art itself. (when i get my insanely long taglist together i’ll list them)
i am fucking obsessed with z-listers. i am the only person on tumblr active in the tag for benji deeds and i will not be stopped. also a big fan of 8-ball (though aren’t we all?) and kind of in love with profile (an mk antagonist no one’s heard of) but i rarely post about them.
i dont actually like superheroes as a genre, i’m just super in love with a lot of characters who are superheroes. what i’m saying is recommendations for graphic novels, especially urban fantasy, high fantasy, psychological, and/or xenofiction are much encouraged! i am very unlikely to read superhero comics that don’t relate directly to my blorbos
i’ve been super busy and frazzled this past week but i did want to say this week’s x-men was an absolute bop. please give me quentin quire clawing his way out of his personal hell all alone and then shambling out covered in disgusting goop a million times more. only suggested improvement is he should get a nosebleed.
I think I speak for everyone in this fandom when I say that we need Black writers back in the writer’s room.
The Black writers for seasons 1-2 of IWTV were Ben Philippe, David B Harris, and A. Zell Williams.
These are the men responsible for providing substance and depth to the Black characters in the first two seasons, mainly Louis and Claudia. They knew how to tackle struggle, injustices, history, rage, pain, and the ugly truth of American and European Black history. They didn’t pull punches with the hard stuff and they knew how to work with the soft stuff.
Season 3 tried to create edgy content and humor without these men and absolutely failed at it in every way possible. And they have failed both Louis and Claudia.
The Black jokes about Louis being “Louisiana Fried Chicken”, Louis continuing to be the pimp and needing his White savior that is Lestat, Claudia’s entire monologue about Louis being a literal slave to Lestat in that old Louisiana accent. And not to mention the complete erasure of Lemuel after only a couple episodes.
It’s not working.
If there’s gonna be Black actors on screen, there needs to be Black writers in the writer’s room.
was thinking about marvel's telepath or telepath-adjacent mlm characters for a nathaniel/quentin fic and struck by the realisation that nate and his involuntary-mind-reading-angst could probably bond really well with prodigy. new non-quentin rarepair acquired
i’m gonna be so real with you guys i wrote my theater final pretty stoned and responded to one of the 400-600 word essay questions with an 800 word essay on moon knight (2016) as a narrative of reality politics and Mad empowerment
