20 years ago, that would have been a FARK.com gag.... ...yet here we are.

(Apparently Greater Tokyo experienced a delayed bloom, so it will be interesting to see how things go. In my city the trees have been going quite well for some time, and there have been a few tourists taking pictures along various streets. I'll have to see if I have any pictures of my own to...

Well, that's one deconstruction of Watchmen that belies the whole "Imitation is the sincerest form of Catastrophe" that DC-aligned creatives had been fretting about since at least Infinite Crisis. (....of course, then DC did what Alan Moore feared, and greenlit Doomsday Clock -- but that, as...

Um.... I'm looking at the chart in that screen capture, and I'm seeing a pattern....

Titan Magazines had just such an arc in their fiction, but springboarding from an alternate ending of the 2007 Movie -- so different Megatron, different Starscream....

Lootboxes, apparently.

I'm a bit surprised that tec didn't do the Easter post first. Well, before we get inundated with ears and fishnets, does anyone mind if I started this time? (One cupcake, two cheesecakes and a cinnamon bun, with an Easter basket! Everyone brush well after all this sweetness....)

That's fair. I liked the Republic Commando series, but a few felt there was quite a bit of Author Soapboxing about how the Jedi Order had lost their collective way, etc., etc., even as it deftly retcon-patched some of the pre-Prequel Trilogy bits (such as Callista Masana and her pre-Purge...

I'm only going back to 200X with this -- wait a minute....

...unless you're Karen Traviss, mind.

Familial relationships in the Marvel Multiverse are notoriously prone to retcons -- just ask 616-Quicksilver, who in universe has said that he does not wish to hear from any more randos offering Yet Another Twist regarding his parentage -- but I believe that the comics versions of Xavier and the...

Yes, the "Jamaican Colours beat Pimp Cane" (as My Way Productions put it) scene was the other then-well-known example. Cain Marko, however, is not immune to his half-brother's ability, hence the helmet.

(Slightly narrows eyes in Timothy Zahn)

And self-intimidation is the bane of creatives. It likely doesn't help that I'd been a long time away from writing any sort of fiction until my surgical convalescence in 2021. Since then I've been trying to make up for things, mostly little Star Wars set pieces (my first new work was a...
