syncope at 11:47am on 30/06/2007The gimme topics thing:
Coiledsoul on boots: I hate boots. I hate all shoes. I only wear sandals if I can manage it. Anything that presses on my toes is way out and I don’t bother with. I even go so far as to buy all my heels with open toes and all shoes that have to have closed toes half a size too big so they don’t press on my toenails. I hate it!
Amberlynne on Batman vs Wolverine: If this is contest, Batman wins, because 1. he’s the goddamned Batman and 2. he’s a billionaire. Hard to beat either of those. If it’s just a conversation about the two of them, then I say that Wolverine is a total badass with a weird fixation on teens (Jubes) just like Batman is. That makes them both weirdoes. However, Wolverine will kill a bitch if he pisses him off, which I can totally get behind, while Batman lets his foes go to AA only to escape over and over—weak! Batman also wins at girlfriends. Selina is way cooler than Jean Grey. Wolverine wins at loving metas; Batman’s stand on meta-hating is lame. Batman’s outfit, way cooler—yellow and blue, wtf? Wolverine is immortal, I guess he wins in the end.
Onelittlesleep: My favorite Caesar is Julius. He tried to stage a revolution. That didn’t go so well, but history has given him kudos for trying. He was a subtle, brilliant man who was pulled down to earth by the little minds of his contemporaries. My desktop, though, is Heliogabalus, well, a painting of him murdering people with rose petals at a state supper. AWESOME!
Rhiannonhero: My next tattoo is going to be of a caduceus or a scarab to off set the science tattoos on my other leg that will be the center piece of a religious-themed spiral around and up my leg. Or it might be an Egyptian hippo, depends how crazy I am that day.
Boz on my thoughts regarding Oliver Queen’s parenting skills: This is one of those character issues that I think DC fucked up royally. Ollie’s reaction to Roy’s drug use was way out of character. Neglect? Yeah, he’s that dad who alternates barely acknowledging your existence to being up your ass about every tiny detail of your life (“Where are you going? Who’s gonna be there? What are you wearing? You can’t wear that, your ass is showing. Who’s on the phone?”), however, I do not think for a minute going apeshit and disinheriting his kid over a serious flaw is his style. Would he have tons of inappropriate wise-ass remarks about sharing needles and getting AIDs, of course! He would also pay for rehab or steal the money for the rehab and sit outside in the car to make sure you’re not sneaking out (dragging Hal along with a couple bags of chips, some corn dogs and some porn). I was really disappointed when he got sort of rebooted and they essentially stuck to that (well, made it WORSE in the Arsenal mini). I assume that Kevin Smith was trying to ameliorate this glaring inconsistency with Mia, which I suppose has worked to a certain degree. She’s sort of like a reboot of Speedy who came with the baggage instead of Ollie making it for her. I hate that DC turned an anti-drug PSA from an artarded era into a central character flaw. He’s a crappy dad, anyway, why turn him into a gigantic asshole (still better than Batman)? I guess the Arrows are the It Takes Villiage family with Hal and Dinah picking up Ollie’s slack. If you were going to have stepparents, those are the two to have (not when Hal’s the Spectre, though, I wouldn’t want him paying too close of attention to me when I was up to no good and have him lay down the Justice of the Lord all up on me). I wouldn’t be surprised if half of Dinah’s disgruntlement with Ollie was how she had an insta-family with him she never asked for that has only increased in size over the years. Here she is a half-widow for years with one son, one sort of son, and a grandkid, and all she wants to do it kick some ass and work in the garden on off days. Anyway, I guess my thoughts are that Ollie’s sort of like a typical crappy dad. The Arsenal mini really pissed me off (the art is also horrible, some of it looks like manga, WTF! Chibi Roy is NOT acceptable.)!
