When the circle first met Milana, she resembled a bedsheet ghost haunting the guesthouse of Santa Aurora, where she had befriended Kadena, the preteen daughter of the owners. The town's mortal inhabitants initially assumed she was a leper, but her circlemate Xochi gave her a slightly more palatable cover story as a Beloved of Hamoji, a term used across Wavecrest for someone who mysteriously survives volcanic burns.

Milana never revealed her true form, insisting that she was incomplete, but she quietly asked the other Exalts in her circle how they had become what they are now. Drawing inspiration from Tebitha's talk of emerging from a Chrysalis Grotesque, she spun her own cocoon from discarded flesh to reshape herself into the form she now has.

She is very much the younger sister of her circle but takes her duties as a Liminal very seriously. As a Breath Aspect, she passes judgment on ghosts that have lingered too long or brought suffering to the living by asking armour-piercing questions that challenge their reasons for staying.

I dream of Donald Trump

So the night before last I had a very weird dream that’s proof that the Trump presidency is getting to me.

For some reason I got hired to work in the White House despite living in England and having no background in politics. Anyway, I get to meet the president and he’s not awful to me but once he’s out the room we very quickly get to the subject matter of trying to soften his image.

I suggest that we need a White House pet, like a cat or a dog just to take pride of place on the twitter feed and be something to talk about that humanises the Donald so people expect to see that rather than worrying about him declaring war via social media.

This gets forwarded to the president and he’s 100% on board with it, loves the idea.

A few days later we learn he decided to go with a capybara that’s been named Little Donald. The internet loves Little Donald even his critics are saying more about how this is an unsuitable environment for a capybara than anything he finds distasteful.

Two weeks later, tragedy strikes. Apparently Little Donald has these hyper resistant fleas that mean he can’t be in the White House. He goes viral one last time when Trump donates him to a zoo and gives a public farewell to his weird choice of pet.

A few days later the truth is revealed. The fleas didn’t come from Little Donald, they came from Steve Bannon.

...I wake up next to my fiancée and I have to check that we didn’t move to DC.

A commission finished for @thehugninja of their Exalted character 💙

[thehugninja]

I played Zilliah in an Exalted game titled ‘Year One’ which took place at the very start of the First Age. I decided to make the most of playing that long in the past and play something that wasn’t really around anymore.

Her race, the Isharans were almost entirely wiped out during the Primordial War leaving her dealing with survivors guilt and a feelings of isolation. She was a loyal ally to the Exalted despite quietly resenting their sucess and ascendency.

bruce wayne maintains a presence on all conspiracy theory boards with the screen name BruceWayneIsTheBatman and all his posts have titles like “BRUCE WAINE IS BAT-MAN INDISPUTABLE PROOF” and it’s just a picture of Bruce Wayne from the back next to a picture of Batman from behind and they both have the contours of their butt drawn on in a shitty MSPaint red line (note: Bruce is in a suit and Batman has a cape, neither of their butts are clearly discernible) and the quote “THE BUTTS MATCH!!! THE FACTS DON’T LIE!!!!!” and he makes at least three of these posts a day, and “Bruce Wayne is the Batman” becomes a meme a la “Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer” and he gets asked about it on a talk show and he laughs uproariously at the idea and Stephen Colbert just HAPPENS to have a batman mask under the desk and they do a bit together where Bruce Wayne puts on the mask and walks around saying things like “excuse me, bank robbers, can I perhaps offer you some money to stop you robbing this bank?” and “I say, cease and desist your criminal behavior or I’ll have my butler ask you to leave” and the audience is LOSING THEIR MINDS laughing at the idea of this pampered rich guy taking on the Joker on a bi-weekly basis and then anyone who suggests “Bruce Wayne is Batman” in earnest gets met with mocking “oh man do the butts match” comments

Superman spent his childhood baling hay on a farm, he’s a working class hero and people don’t like that. Whereas Batman is a billionaire who sleeps until three in the afternoon, puts on a rubber suit and beats the shit out of poor people. Now that’s a wish fulfillment fantasy.

Grant Morrison during a panel at the Edinburgh Book Festival (via operationfailure)

#i mean superman is wish fulfillment too but for two jewish guys wanting to help people they couldn’t as opposed to like#taking out the privilege of the rich thru violence against the poor#it depends on how you want to define wish fulfillment#but it is true: superman is a working class hero and batman is not

(via anartinsorcery)

 # i guess it’s worth mentioning that superman’s narrative was (and remains) heavily coded but that fact is often lost on modern readers

# to whom he appears to be an anglo-american masculine archetype and a perfect vehicle for wish fulfillment

# you’d think though that people would’ve figured out by now that if straight white dudebros can’t (or refuse to) relate to a character

# it’s probably because they /aren’t serving them as wish fulfillment well enough

 # not because they’re ”not realistic enough”

# hence the popularity of batman

# and iron man

# and wolverine

# and the overwhelming dismissal of PoC/queer/women heroes

Funny because I just argued about this point about Batman only a few short days  with a guy who, otherwise, is intelligent and well spoken.  Yet, this idea that Clark is an “othered” figure was totally lost on him.

This is why it doesn’t just make me angry but actually makes me uncomfortable when dudebros get super excited about Batman beating the shit out of Superman.

The last 3 live action adaptations of Superman—-all of which found huge audiences—-have particularly focused on this idea that Clark Kent grows up feeling othered.  (In one of those adapations, Clark Kent was actually played by an actor who is bi-racial and was abandoned by his father at a young age btw.)

In several of these adapations, Clark Kent learning to accept his body and accept his heritage balanced with his intense love and identification as a human is not only a right of passage but the driving force of his identity and self-discovery.  The fact that a lot of this self-discovery also often includes a human female who accepts him fully and without fear or persecution for his “otherness” is vital and important.   Superman is not supposed to be “wish fufillment” for all of your white, male privileged bullshit, guys.  He’s also not supposed to be wish fufillment for those of you that believe that if you had Superman’s physical power and looks you would obviously use them to bang the hottest girl in the world AKA Wonder Woman.  He’s not supposed to be wish fufillment for your shallow, macho BULLSHIT.  He was wish fufillment for two Jewish men who longed to be accepted in a world torn with bigotry and oppression and longed for the love of a human working woman that worked one desk over.

So when I see people talking about how “awesome” it would be for Batman to come into Superman’s movie and “beat the shit out of him”….I’m not just annoyed with you.  I’m not just angry at you.  You actually make me uncomfortable.   Your thoughts about fictional icons and myths make me uncomfortable.  I’m uncomfortable with you taking a unique and special male icon that actually is meant to challenge oppression and bogging him down with your god forsaken privilege.

1. all of this is wonderful and good and ghostorballoons actually enlightened me to the fact that superman’s original basis was the strong man, who is pretty important in jewish american iconography so even taking away his “stupid underwear” as so many people have wanted to do for so long (and succeeded) is actually an effort to remove superman from his roots as a jewish figure.

2. who played superman that was biracial? 

(via alienswithankhs)

Dean Cain.  His background looks mostly flavors of White, but his paternal grandfather is Japanese.  He was born in 1966 as Dean George Tanaka, but his wikipedia page says his mother married film director Christopher Cain in 1969, so… (Also Christopher Cain adopted Dean and his brother)

Also Superman himself is adopted and an illegal alien.  Let’s not forget that.  He accepts both his birth family and his adopted family as family and doesn’t make one family more important or “real” than the other.  He has both parents and they love each other and their son very much.  It’s not the typical adoption story that we tell, where the birth family is called the “real parents” and either the child or the adopted family is vilified.
