Favourite piece of Philip Glenister Media™️ ????

Hmm now this is tough. In terms of both "I think it's objectively the best" and "I have the strongest and deepest personal connection to it"? Ashes to Ashes, every time. There's literally nothing like A2A. It changed me as a person on a deep molecular level. I cannot fully explain how A2A impacted me, what it felt like at the time and how it still makes me feel to this day. I wish another TV show could make me feel excited for new episodes and invigorated after a new episode the way A2A did when it was still airing and I was 14, but I don't think anything ever quite will. You had to be there. Those that get it get it and those that don't never will.

But favourite in terms of "I am mostly likely to be found rewatching it again for the thousandth time"? Demons for sure. I've rewatched all six episodes so many times I could probably recite them all by heart. Maybe it's not a good show, but it is to me.

But then again, favourite in terms of "watching it makes me happiest/makes me smile the most"? Probably either For The Love of Cars or The Rubbish World of Dave Spud.

And of course I love Matt Truman very very much but Sharpe's Justice does not make me happy and I am not likely to be found rewatching it.

Like I know it's self indulgence but it'd be so funny to see a full kardashian style Brucie Wayne, spoilt playboy prince of Gotham, local sunshine idiot on the front page every other week for darwinian levels of idiocy or billionaire levels of donations.

But he gets kidnapped or something and there's illusions or mind magics that make him think he's in the bat suit and then he gets dumped in the middle of a live world broadcast arena to fight some goons.

Like he doesn't think anything of it, batman's been kidnapped and forced into gladitorial arenas for sport many times before, maybe he always carries concealed weapons so he's still got like grapples and batarangs and stuff, but he's just going full doomslayer on these guys. No cowl. No suit. Just an open silk shirt and a pair of slacks. In full view of the world.

Tell you what, what about the whole justice league. Just a group of the motleyest people you've ever met. There's about as many famous people as there are absolute nobodies.

Several billionaires defer to the guy who writes articles on outdated lead in buildings and socio economic corruption. There's a renowned museum curator flying and uppercutting aliens so hard they get tossed across the room. There's a guy who spoke in science conferences about meta containment procedures running up the wall and delivering a roundhouse kick to three enemies at once. Bruce Wayne and Oliver Queen. Of all people. Two world famous idiot ceo celebrities. And they're back to back whaling on armoured alien henchmen like a well oiled team. A ten year old podcaster shooting lightning from his fingers and no one in the group bats an eye.

Just.... Insanity.

Do you think Cassius haunts Caesar's line ?

yeah, the escalating paranoia about conspiracies is really revealing (especially when you reach Caligula and the Cassius Incident) but I also think Cassius and his legacy haunts any tyrant. Caesar just happened to be the guy who climbed his way to the top in a place where Cassius could do something about it

update: more edits here and here

[ID: A two page comic of Louie Duck from DuckTales 2017, it is primarily black and white, using screen tones, but particular panels are in color. The comic is an AU in which Louie is FTM trans and transitions sometime after the events of season two. For simplicity's sake Louie will have he/him pronouns throughout the ID. The first panel shows Louie pre-transition, maintaining most of his usual design but having much longer hair, he's holding a strand of it between two fingers and frowning at it with a raised eyebrow. A thought bubble beside him says "Ok. Maybe I need a haircut." The second panel shows a side view of Louie grabbing his hair in one hand and holding up a pair of scissors in the other. His hair obscures his face. "Snip snip" is written under the panel in capital letters. The third panel has Louie facing forward, frowning up at his yet-to-be-seen reflection. His hair is a bit over shoulder length and messy. The next panel shows the mirror Louie is looking at, but instead of Louie being seen in the mirror, instead Della is visible looking back at him. She is wearing her usual outfit and sports the hair length she has throughout the majority of the show, a similar length to Louie's. The panel is colored in with the mirror having a brown frame and a soft blue tint to the reflection, a squiggly shine spans across the mirror. The fifth panel is a close up of Louie's hair and the scissors as he cuts it shorter. The word "Snip" is written in all caps across the bottom, several 'I's in the middle to draw the word out. The sixth panel has Louie again looking into the colored mirror, while both Louie and the mirror are visible in this panel only the mirror is colored while Louie remains grayscale. Louie's back is to the viewer but Della's reflection is visible, looking frustrated, her hair is the length seen in her design prior to her disappearance, she otherwise remains unchanged. The second page starts with a close-up side view of Louie, only his frown visible as he tugs on his hair. A pair of open scissors form the next panel, surrounded on either side by the capitalized "Snip"s. In the next panel Louie's back is to the viewer again, but his mouth is visible to see him cringe. He reaches a hand up to the back of his head. "Aww man!" is written beside him. The fifth panel show's Louie's hand dropping the scissors. Beside it is written "Now I look like a-" The line abruptly stopping. Louie's wide shining eyes are shown in the next panel. The final panel shows Louie looking in the mirror one final time. This time he sees his own reflection, the mirror a light green tint and sparkling. He still has his hand behind his head and looks surprised. His hair cut, the reflection now shows his canon design. The top of Louie's head is visible in front of the mirror. Below it the earlier line is finished with "Boy..." Underlined and written in capital letters. End ID.]

Trans boy Louie that took a little longer to figure out the gender thing and also happens to look a whole lot like his mom

Also I'm very sorry about the image quality I made this canvas way too big and had to seriously downsize

Edit for those that may see this later on: @the-writer-nerd-ro wrote an amazing little sequel to this comic!!! you can read it on tumblr here or on ao3 here!
