❝ say - have you been to the moon recently? or somewhere in that general area. ❞ mina makes a vague upwards gesture and leans in closer, eyes alight with a gleam that betrays her vested interest in the matter. it starts as a fairly innocuous question, BUT - ❝ i’m looking for the frozen corpse of an evil super genius - OR TWO. floating about like a beach ball in space. i don’t want to bother fixing a mess that’s not there, you know ... ❞

every now and then i am haunted in my dreams by the fact that hulu greenlit an adaptation. cosmo wanda i hope that shit stays in development hell no matter what

#i dont think i can handle it. i want it but i dont think i can handle it.

no but this truly was one of the entrances of all time ... unparalleled,

#im giffing for fun <- (this is a cry for help)

wait i read a theory somewhere that the whole ‘ppl vaguely know abt what happened to mina + COL because of circulating rumors’ started because someone leaked their journals / correspondences. like, you know, the book itself, existing inside the story. that’s fucking horrible. i love it.

#we love a story within stories within a story - [i am forcibly taken away]#hmmmmm this is somewhat similar to a.llan + his book[s] also existing in-text. as like. trashy shit lmaoooo #idk if there is a precedent for that in his books but like. thog dont care etc.

mina is my horror muse ( this is a lie )

#i dont think i can call her that. divorced from original canon as she is #i think velma was my spooky szn muse but i kind of forgot abt her blog bcs the mina brainrot was too strong #i'll be back on rita when con stuff comes out :man standing emoji:

me forever malding about how the whole ‘V1 ( 1898 ) happens a year after 𝖽𝗋𝖺𝖼𝗎𝗅𝖺’ was clearly retconned in V2 … except no annotations mention that! and ALL wikis still list the events of 𝖽𝗋𝖺𝖼𝗎𝗅𝖺 as 1897! i say clearly retconned because, under her portrait in V2, moore lists one of mina’s journal entries taken straight from dracula ( including the correct day / month of the entry ) as october, 5 ( 1891 ), which is clearly not 1898 minus one.

his initial usage of 1897 is tied to 𝖽𝗋𝖺𝖼𝗎𝗅𝖺’s publication date, which moore often used for timeline purposes - but if there was a date given in the source material, he’d use that as well [ see portrait dates for other characters : 𝗁𝗒𝖽𝖾/𝗃𝖾𝗄𝗒𝗅𝗅’s 1886 & 𝗀𝗋𝗂𝖿𝖿𝗂𝗇’s 1897, following their novels’ publication dates, as there is no clear date given in-text; compare with 𝗊𝗎𝖺𝗋𝗍𝖾𝗋𝗆𝖺𝗂𝗇’s 1880 and 𝗇𝖾𝗆𝗈’s 1867, which follows dates given in k.ing solomon’s mines + 20,000 l.eagues, irrespective of their novels’ publication dates ). this is probably not true for everyone in the series, but true for the main characters pre-CENT. while there are chronological dates given in 𝖽𝗋𝖺𝖼𝗎𝗅𝖺, it’s only day / date / month, so moore just took the year from the novel’s publication date.

now, i don’t pretend to know why the discrepancy of V1′s ‘ 𝖽𝗋𝖺𝖼𝗎𝗅𝖺 is a year before 1898′ and V2′s ‘chapter 24 is in 1891′ is There, nor do i pretend why moore made that change ( if you want my opinion, it’s because one singular fucking year between 𝖽𝗋𝖺𝖼𝗎𝗅𝖺 and V1 is just so fucking short ), but the fact that there Is this discrepancy and no one ever talks about it is. infuriating!

#HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO MAKE A LIGHT PLOT IF THE BUILDING PLANS DONT HAVE ANY FUCKIING SCALE LKANSLKNDS #MIGRAINE!!! INITIATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

there is something i want to discuss re : 𝐋𝐎𝐄𝐆 as a Transformative Work(tm), and it’s about how ... i give a lot of flack to moore for his negative, mean-spirited, worst-timeline-possible interpretations of beloved characters [ and how ironically funny it is that this approach completely shuts downs any sort of Fandom Hype ( that comes with a crossover taken at face value ) - getting a cameo in 𝐋𝐎𝐄𝐆 is not fun for fans ] ; but i don’t often criticize moore for his despairing, lengthy character development of 𝐋𝐎𝐄𝐆 protagonists over the course of decades ( or centuries ) ... mostly, how they eventually become characters we do not recognize anymore. and like. i disagree with the outcome, obviously, but i don’t disagree with it as it is, because ... well. moore Gets To Do That.

#how do i say this. after like several graphic novels and side stories [ that all are all together novel-sized ]. mina is Very different.#of course she is. it would be a disservice to ... writing if she were not tbh.#but saying that i dont disagree with it on principle does not mean that i like it. At All.#heartbreaking! the trajectory of this narrative gone wild makes sense.#my main critique is when characters are nearly unrecognizable from the get-go (!).#and though it detracts from the annoyance of the ever present edginess. it's just. kinda sad to see someone i dont think i know. huh.#conflating characters together makes it worse. me when my pastiche soup is terrible and my day is ruined <3 #<- this is about emma if u cant tell. if there is one (1) character whose initial portrayal; development; overall presence -#- in this universe that i resent the most. it is her. yes i am biased. yes i am allowed to be biased. amen.#none of this makes sense i am having thoughts abt characters i love.#is that love unconditional? do i love them as they are? as they will [wont] be? that is the question.

these are tumultuous times, mr. quartermain… i’m sure something will turn up.

#need 2 remake this someday ...#[ 𝙶𝙴𝙽𝚃𝙻𝙴 ] – men � … ( mankind is kept alive by monstrous deeds‚ LEAGUE . 　. 　　.

i cave into the audio in pinned post trend etc. etc. except i choose the funniest song possible ( the 50s spacepop hit moore wrote for mina )

#ostensibly its from her point of view which makes sense if u follow stuff like the extra shit in nemo3. which i do not #it's just here for nostalgia :')#i dont think its moore singing i refuse to believe it's him singing. amen

my shoe-in superhero verse operates on two assumptions :

a) the league are a well known historical ‘hero’ team. this is not unprecedented, considering the public nature of V2′s crisis - like, hyde got a park named after him. the canonical reasons for their obscurity are:

every league incarnation that followed the original failed. they were all so shit that mina’s group is called ‘the most dynamic incarnation,’ which is incredibly funny in how low of a bar it is.

i don’t quite remember if 1 was a factor in the next part, but knowledge about the league then got heavily censured in the 50s, i.e. the frame story of BD. for a lack of better explanation : 1984, literally.

2 is easily solved by the fact that i literally just don’t follow BD and its non-dossier worldbuilding in any verse. 1 goes into my second assumption :

b) mina leads the 1910 league with mild success, and ‘retires’ without animosity between her and the authorities. i don’t include CENT or mina peacing out with peace in my main canon, so this the main canon divergence here. she still fucks off though.

IN ANY CASE: the league is known as a somewhat successful team. the lack of censure elevated it, and a fair bit of propaganda made it have its mark in history books ( though they have stopped creating new league incarnations, because they’re still all kinda shit ). mina, as its leader twice-over in what are considered the best leagues, is definitely like, a Public Figure. she doesn’t like that, shenanigans ensue, etc. i have no further thoughts??? end post.

#no formatting i need to leave in 2 minutes #tbt.#???

UNDERNEATH THE DIM LAMPLIGHT, mina appears as little more than a silhouette of an unassuming woman, half-draped in shadows. a cold comfort for those in the know. BUT, as she comes to the [ unsurprising realization ] that it might not be enough, perhaps it is time for her to follow the old adage of : do something.
