I wanna lead you bleedin’-heart liberals over to Moscow an’ kick some commie butt!

Compared to the lies women told, men’s braggadocio was rough, their facades easy to poke holes in.

I generally detest and/or am amused by Homelander’s male fandom videos (talking mostly about the Sigma edits proliferating on TikTok, all the boys on instagram making memes about how HL is relevant to the male high school/middle school experience… you’re friends).

But this rap was made with love, production values through the roof, pretty good braggadocio lyrics, and just tongue in cheek enough:

The Perfect Fool

The only panel where Veronica maybe wearing socks -- or maybe a yellow tinted nylon? -- fixed in post I guess.

Head swivels. Cloud of dust for a head slap. Question mark over gead. Arm flutter.

17 stars increased to 22. If I miscounted, I will corre st it. That is the emotional heart of the story -- Reggie getting slammed to the ground every which way.

Every idea she's ever had, every word she wrote, everything she did had something of me in it—I was her catalyst.

And if he keeps blurting out sensitive information, the intelligence services will wish he were.

I’ve been active on twitter for about two weeks now, for writing reasons. And it’s as awful as advertised. People say it’s like tumblr five years ago, and, yeah, it is absolutely exactly like that. Apparently that’s where most of the toxic tumblr nonsense went. I hate it.  But also because I was on twitter, last month I saw an open call for my right-now-realistic dream literary journal, managed to get an essay written up and sub’d thinking it wouldn’t go anywhere. Turns out they want it and are publishing it.  Which is like ... that part is awesome. But it’s also dispiriting in that I guess this means I’m stuck on Twitter for the long haul.
