The Tumbles? That’s where this blog lives!

Tyler: “Do you have any advice for, maybe there's a young queer kid out there that it's questioning things and they don't know or they are curious?”

Gus: “The one thing that I could say without a doubt is that life is so much richer on the other side, and that I'm not pushing you to come out at anytime that you're not ready because it's such a personal thing that you need to do it when you feel safe when you feel comfortable, but that it does get better.  I know at times it feels like it doesn't, but like if you can find it in yourself to talk to somebody to tell somebody whether it's a friend or a parent or a teacher or whatever, the weight that you're going to feel being lifted off your shoulders is so freeing and so exhilarating that you'll then want to tell more and more people.  There's always a fear of like losing friends or like losing family members or whatever it is that you're afraid of.  You're going to have a whole new community, you're going to have an amazing new set of friends, all these things that are going to happen, and the people that don't accept you and can't accept you and don't want to are the people that you are going to realize you do not need in your life.”

DAY 134: Doomed from the Start Patrol???

I already regret the queasy, uneasy feeling I’m getting in the pit of my stomach surrounding this recent announcement:

That’s right. A 13-episode live-action series about DC Comics’ Doom Patrol has just been ordered, based on the yet-to-be-released Titans series.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m actually a fan of some of the other Greg Berlanti series:

Not ALL of them, but some. And you know what? That’s enough for me. The strides this dude’s made with these DC characters is fucking phenomenal. 

Thanks to HIM, we got a live-action JSA for Christ’s sake.

That’s a MASSIVE achievement in my book. And yeah, some of the writing is a little hacky & tweenish.

But as a geek, I’ve been happy with what we’ve gotten from the good, old CW.

I mean, this is still DC we’re talking about. As a DC fan, I’m used to NOT getting my hopes up. Because in this universe, if you get too nit-picky, you get butt-hurt. 

I’m sure (like me) every DC fan on the planet is appreciative of the baby steps the TV series seem to be taking.

Because otherwise, we get served THIS:

But I digress.

Admittedly, I was a late-bloomer when it came to Doom Patrol. I only discovered Grant Morrison’s wonderfully twisted run a few years ago.

It’s like reading a comic on acid. With a peyote chaser. 

Morrison’s run put a serious zap on my head & made me rethink EVERYTHING I thought I knew about comics. A serious exercise in the untethered potential of storytelling in this medium.

I’ve even been collecting Gerard Way’s recent run.

And let me tell you something: it does NOT disappoint. Mainly because it does exactly what a revamp of a series does: provides an easy gateway for people who never read the original, while giving subtle winks to those who have. 

All that said, I regret the trepidation I’m feeling toward Berlanti’s upcoming series.

Sure, I want it. More than ANYTHING.

And yet, I’m worried that any patina or edge will be stripped or smoothed away. Which I’m sure will happen, since I hear Berlanti’s sticking to the original team, 

rather than the effed-up 90′s shit I love.

I guess I’m too close to Morrison’s source material. 

Well, maybe it’ll be fine. Maybe I’m worrying over nothing.

'Cause if they do it right & go all Legion on this series, it could be fucking EPIC.
