So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Sail, Lois and Clark were like... Zoe and Wash. They kicked ASS, damn it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have to look down on any writer who separates a couple--especially retroactive magic wandlikely, because partnered characters aren't as interesting. Supes doesn't actually need sexual tension to be interesting, and you can have resolved sexual tension that's still a charge. If you can't write a good marries Superman or Spider-Man, you are not doing their characters justice.

If you divorce them or kill their spouses, I'd have to evaluate that on a case by case basis. But these people are pretty open about saying they think a stable relationship sucks the life out. Is it that they're single, and they don't get that partnering isn't a death sentence? Or worse yet, they're not single, and they feel they're at the end of the road, and if they can't rescue themselves, they might as well rescue their characters?

But these people are pretty open about saying they think a stable relationship sucks the life out.

I think these guys are regretting the loss of their mancaves in their mama's houses. Seriously, I don't object to Lois and Clark getting together; it's that I never saw it happen so to me it just seems weird. I'm all for more Zoe and Wash type relationships in comics/TV/movies/fiction of any kind.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Comic-Con panel (obviously spoilery) talks about, among other Bat-Things, what Babs' age will be in Batgirl, what Jason Todd's damn hair color will be and the future of Stephanie Brown: [link]

I mostly say Feh, except for Jason's hair color.

Are we whitefonting stuff about the DC reboot, once it's been reported? I can't remember.

More Superman stuff (spoilery): [link] I am utterly boggled. No Jonathan and Martha? No flight? (Well, at first, I guess.) And that short cape is appalling. If they're going to go with the Superboy t-shirt-and-jeans look, then ditch the fucking cape. It looks like it came from a kid's Halloween costume.

God. I am That Fan~~boy~~girl.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Here's a nice shot of them at SDCC: [link]
