Can you tell me what was in the Valentine's day story
OH brother I knew someone was going to make this question
Obvious spoilers for the new Plastic man Valentine story from “How To Lose A Guy Gardner In 10 Days”
Basically most people are mad at how bad the characterization of plas is in that story that basically treated him as shallow doofus that EVERYONE hates for no good reason that has to learn a big lesson at the end of the story
So like imagine Joe Kelly levels of bad writing but atleast in this one they didn’t make him a pervert THANK GOD ( although they still make him kind of a horndog and there is a part in particular where he ask Wonder Women out and it’s cringy to say the least )
Also the design they gave him is just… mh not great
( Here’s examples of what I’m talking about so yk I’m just making this up )
It really sucks not only because of how all the waiting we did just for it not be good but also because there really was something you could have done with this concept that would actually be good with Plas
Plastic man is a character that does infact has a history of bad luck in romance mostly because back in the Golden age he seemed pretty uninterested and even scared of woman and in the modern age any love interest he has had is a cardboard girl that’s only exists to give him children or to cause conflict ( in summary most of his love interests are non-existence or straight up abusive/toxic)
Having a story explore his bad luck with romance or a story exploring him dealing with a bad relationship would be very interesting and great development but unfortunately that’s not what happened here. Everybody mistreats him for little to no reason, they paint him as shallow womanizer and throughout the story he hits on a women who turn him down multiple times and also he thinks she’s is married for most of it which obviously paints him in such a bad light
For some odd reason not only does everyone around Plas treat him like trash ( Batman starting to date Plastic mans girlfriend after she basically cheats on Plas all the time and Wonder Woman not knowing who he even is EVEN THOUGH PLAS HAS BEEN IN THE JL FOR A LONG WHILE ) and somehow that’s his fault but also the writers forget the two big things about him is 1 his supposed to be heroic and 2 his supposed to actually be a character and not just a gag joke
Im summary it’s just not that interesting or good. It’s not offensively bad as Joe Kelly or Mark Waid writing but the reason people dislike so much it’s cause we have seen this song ad dance over and over again and it’s just tiring
( forgive me for the bad English or typos this isn’t my first language and I’m also typing this in a hurry because there so much I want to say but also ik I can’t make this super long )

it is genuinely a VISCERAL need for stiles to read “after the threesome, they both take you home” . Stiles who has always felt the leftovers of love. stiles as leftovers. he’s never gotten the love other people have gotten he has always been warm leftovers there to take what he can get because he is his fathers son and his mothers beloved and he will never experience love that comes easily

@ardenssolis replied ; She can be both! The beauty of ancient egyptian mythos is that a pharaoh is Ra/Horus based during certain times. Horus when they are an heir, Ra when they are a pharaoh (or Horus depending on whether it is the Old Kingdom, ect., because those timelines put emphasis on certain gods and their roles), and upon their death, they become an incarnation of Osiris, but then also become Ra/Horus when the sun rises once again -- rinse repeat. It's complicated FSFDFSS. ; OH I FORGOT TO MENTION! In the Old Kingdom, they put a lot of emphasis on Anubis being Lord of the Dead, though this was later overshadowed in the New Kingdom by Osiris with Anbusi' role shifting.
/ OOOOOO I DIDN’T KNOW THIS! I only knew that when a pharaoh came to the throne they were associated/became the manifestation of horus and in death, they became/were associated with Osiris, but i was def not aware that Ra was in consideration, as well as when the sun rises! for some reason my mind completely jumped past my own thoughts in my previous meta in regards to Nito, horus and osiris -thonks- must be my mind being tired from yesterday still RIP- THO i also didn’t know that anubis’ role got later overshadowed in the new kingdom! and when u bring that onto the table, I can see her ‘ears’ looking like pointy jackal ears as a reference to him bc of the time period where nito was said to exist which dates to much older than when the new kingdom started (and with it, Osiris taking the role of anubis)

Grossly personal posting again sighs... but I can't believe tmrw/the 2nd will mark one year since my grandma died. I was feeling okay earlier when talking to my family about it, and her death does kind of come up a lot in therapy because my grief is so different from my family's.
Like...my grandma was the first house call/removal I ever did. I bathed her postmortem, I took out all her tubes and medical devices and stitched her up. I was the last person to even *see* her before she was cremated. I still wear the pendant/her tag from the crematory on my necklace everyday.
The first year is always difficult. There's still a lot of times I find myself wanting to tell her about school or work because she was interested in my career. There's days where I want nothing more than to hug her again and catch whiffs of her perfume. Maybe tomorrow will be harder than I thought?

These figures have finally come out so I am once again thinking about the prospect of sensui shirtless itsuki gayass kanzenban cover prize figures being physical objects that might someday exist. imagine. spin them around in your mind.
