I’m a huge fan of the Hannibal books by Thomas Harris and the Anthony Hopkins movies, but I haven’t been watching the new series because Tumblr makes it look like every “two average good looks white dudes backsass each other, one is always exasperated” show I don’t care about
“Sherlock: Cannibalism edition”
I sincerely hope the comment about Hannibal getting a Sherlock-like following on tumblr isn’t true. I thought Sherlock was okay, but it’s one of the few instances where I let the fandom kill whatever enjoyment I had for the show. I really enjoy Hannibal, it’s the only show I make an effort to watch on live TV. It’s slow to start, but Mads Mikkelsen made it all worth it.

One Piece Figuarts ZERO Smoker & Tashigi Punk Hazard ver. Release date: August 2013.
I’m a bit disappointed. It’s sort of crap that the only option you get for Tashigi is her open-shirt version. Especially when you don’t get an awkward Tashigi-eyed Smoker head for the PH Smoker.
Finally had to upgrade shelves. This is my entire collection, save three Chopper plushes I have placed elsewhere. Heaven help my shelf if a tenth straw hat is ever introduced.

Ugh Hal Jordan is white! So that’s not whitewashing.
Hal Jordan is white, but the Green Lantern who is most familiar to the mass audiences that movies are supposedly trying to capture is John Stewart, pictured on the left.
Yeah. John Stewart has been the Green Lantern in pretty much every DCAU production. In making Hal the star of the movie, they pretty much did exactly what John has complained of in the comics - everyone deeming him the “Black one” and Hal the default GL.
Choosing Hal over John (and not putting him in a history montage or cameo) was very deliberate, and goes beyond wanting to do an origins story.
Whitewashing isn’t limited to making characters white, but also includes choosing whose stories get to be told.
Can I get an AMEN on this.
Because we’re talking about comics.
Comics with multiverses and multiple iterations of many of their flagship characters.
So…y’know “Well, he’s the white GL” doesn’t actually fly.
And the only way mainstream audiences would know who Hal Jordan was is if they watched old school Justice League or watched that “Once and a Future Thing” episode from Justice League Unlimited in which Hal and John switched places due to the time streams collapsing.
So yeah, don’t fuck with me on this. Hal is considered the “default” GL because he’s white but what everyone seems so keen on forgetting is that the Green Lantern is a GROUP and there are millions of stories they could have told (because John and Hal aren’t the only recognizable members of the GLC) but they chose to go with “Hal Jordan”…and even then they managed to botch it.
And there’s no way you can derail this discussion and try and make EXCUSES for whitewashing. Like…the fact that you are even trying makes it plaintively clear why posts like these need to exist and circulate.
Uh…. there’s a lot of misinformation about Green Lantern going on here. I apologize if it’s been mentioned before, but I didn’t feel like reading through over a thousand notes to verify.
I don’t agree with the Hal Jordan inclusion here at all. Maybe he’s considered the ‘default’ Green Lantern because he was Earth’s first Green Lantern for the GLC? That you can’t really tell a John Stewart origin story that’s related to the comics without acknowledging Hal? What kind of sense would it have made (if movie cared about being true to the comics) to have Stewart be shown in a history montage or cameo when he didn’t get the lantern mantle until after Jordan?
Or heck, how about how John Stewart wasn’t the first lantern introduced in the DCAU? My first introduction to GL as a kid was through Superman: TAS when Kyle Rayner was given parts of Jordan’s back story to become the GL. Rayner was put on a bus by the time JL:TAS started and was gone until JLU addressed his disappearance. At the time JL:TAS came out, fans were complaining that Jordan wasn’t being used because he has always been the most popular lantern. Or even Rayner, since he was already acknowledged as Earth’s lantern in the AU canon. Stewart was chosen to add diversity. Which turned out to be awesome because Stewart’s personality made for an more interesting group dynamic (I never liked Rayner).
Other than the JL shows and Static Shock (I think he also had a Young Justice cameo?), I would like someone to explain to me how Stewart has been the GL in a majority of DCAU productions. In terms of appearances, that would also go to Jordan. Even before the live action film was made, Jordan was in all the DCAU films with a GL character. They didn’t suddenly remove Stewart from the original comic stories the movies were based on because of that awful live action movie.
Hal Jordan was arguably the most definitive lantern long before JL:TAS was even on air, he probably always will be. That doesn’t stop being true because Stewart was some people’s first introduction to the character.
It’s like calling white-washing on The Amazing Spider-Man because they used Peter Parker instead of Miles. Peter doesn’t stop being the ‘default’ Spider-Man because of Miles’ introduction.

Cleaning out some folders and I found some old Gifs of stuff I animated for Good Vibes. Had a lot of fun doing this walk cycle from the episode “Breast Friends”. You can check out Good Vibes on Netflix.
Ahahaha this was one of the best bits of animation in the series.
I have been staring at this a disgustingly long time. It’s mesmerizing in how wonderful the movement is.
I love this outfit, but I really don’t like Robin’s facial design in this. It barely looks a thing like her. It’s some sort of Nami/Robin hybrid and it’s really off putting.
I really want to see this movie, I just hope her face isn’t like this for most of the film….

People here on tumblr like to pretend they’re all ~*open minded*~ and no one’s racist or sexist or whatever but this is a fucking shitty thing to say.

It’s fucking disrespectful to use the Bible as a plate when that is sacred to some people. I don’t fucking give a rat’s ass if you’re not religious, you need to start fucking realising that religion isn’t inherently bad.
There are lots of Christians who are pro-LGBTQ or are LGBTQ themselves and you need to respect them as well and not lump an entire religion into the Westboro Baptist Church.
God I could have written all that better but I’m just so fucking pissed off right now I can’t even argue this.
THANK YOU SO MUCH
tumblr likes doing a thing where they will shit all over christians but will freak the fuck out and mob people when someone makes a similar rip on muslims. dem double standards.
tumblrs wild ride, wanting to get off, etc.
I am so disgusted by some of the asshole comments on here. I’m not a religious person because I don’t feel like I need religion in my life. But I can understand why someone would want to feel like they have the unanswered questions answered. Let others have their comfort and their spirituality, why get on your high horse and lecture them about how misguided they are? How is that any better than bible-thumpers? Different terms, same shit attitude.
What the fuck is so hard to understand about holding your own beliefs while respecting other people’s rights to have their own? Isn’t that what we’re asking the people opposed to gay marriage to do?
The only reason someone would use a bible like that is to be an asshole. Yeah, there’s a plethora of I’M SO CLEVER AND EDGY comments saying how it’s just a fucking book, chill. It’s just a book to you, but it is an important symbol to someone else. The only reason someone would post that picture is to be hateful to those people who feel this is sacred. Otherwise they just would have used their ‘plate’ and not spread it about the internet. They just wanted to boast about their hatred and it’s disgraceful. I am so fucking sick of seeing people asking for tolerance when they’re incapable of showing any themselves.

Got to love Southern Alberta, Canada
mmm
racism
wow, what an ignorant asshole.
no.
Sometimes I think about how happy I am to have left Alberta
good lord what a shitty little man
As an Albertan, it’s kind of shitty that the ideals of one asshole is enough to make someone say they’re glad they left Alberta. We’re not all racist pricks. I admit I’m not crazy over the highway blockades. Anything that can impede emergency vehicles just isn’t a good idea. But Idle No More is right in saying it’s an issue for all of Alberta (not just first nations). So can we please hold one jerk-face accountable for his rant and not Alberta?
