Future Indeagó!! They’re doing a little less superhero work these days but are still plenty active in their community, both in and out of costume. Not to mention raising a couple kids with Red Lantern, their beloved husband ☺️

Doing my level best to come up with proper outfits for my Silver Banshee redesign. It's tough to hit the mark of her original look while also making her feel like a scary possessed singer, but it's been fun to play around with different options.

I have never disagreed with anything Ralsei says, BUT. I am tired of RSD controlling my life! I will fight against the feeling that I am an imposition to the people around me! I will stop keeping track of how many chores I do so that I can justify asking people to spend time with me! Gosh dang it!!!

People say you can’t love others if you don’t love yourself, but that’s not true Everyone has times when they can’t love themselves. Even then, you can still love someone else deeply If you can’t love yourself right now, please don’t worry One day, you’ll be able to love both yourself and others🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Naoise's arm tattoos are loosely based off of a model of Celtic tattoos from the 3rd century BC. I added the harp design on their forearm bc it's an important cultural motif and a nod to their love of the arts. Their hip tattoos are just made-up designs and not intended to reflect anything historic!

Just want to say, people who try to conflate generative AI with shit like *enemy AI in old video games* are either willfully attempting to muddle the two to downplay the issues with GenAI or *actually don't know anything about how fucking video games work.* Be for fucking real.

I just want games media to adjust its tact regarding AI. Yes we all hate slop, we all hate GenAI and chat GPT but like, video games have always had AI? The aliens in Halo aren't being remotely operated, that's AI! Nintendo uses AI for Mario Kart, same thing, we've had AI the whole time!

Digital comic with simple drawings.
Text: Have you guys ever felt something about this kind of stuff?
Screen grabs of a woman talking. The subtitles read, "But... I don't earn the love unless I give something beautiful that goes out." They are from Jenny Slate's "Stage Fright," 2019.
Text: Or this:
Screen grab of some text that reads, "How about this: Be there when they need you, and keep being there even when they stop being funny. Every time they make a joke around you, they're doing it because they instinctively and reflexively think that's what they need to do to make you like them. They're afraid that the moment the laughter stops, all that's left is that gross, awkward kid everyone hated on the playground, the one they've been hiding behind bricks all their adult life." It is from "Robin Williams And Why Funny People Kill Themselves," by David Wong.

Text: Or even this:
Screen grab of a vertical Youtube short from @dimension20shorts titled "Erika Taught Brennan Something About Himself in Misfits & Magic." Brennan is talking in the blue lit dome and the subtitles say, "Oh, Evan doesn't think he's good unless he's useful."

Text: Not that I didn't know about it before, but I've been thinking about it a lot more.
Panel 1: Drawing of Pim wearing a cowboy hat and looking at their phone in their hand.
Panel 2-3: Pim looking up, having noticed something.
Text: Maybe because I am someone who never saw Mr. Rogers as a kid and cried when I finally did.

Panel 3: Screengrab of Mr. Rogers smiling next to his quote, "You've made this day a special day, by just your being you. There's no person in the whole world like you. And I like you just the way you are." A person is looking at the screengrab, on their back is the red text, "I have to make up for what I am"
Panel 4: The person is looking down with a sad face.
Panel 5: They look up as Pim's hand lands on their shoulder.

Panel 6: The person being hugged by Pim. The background fades to black.

Panel 7: The person smiling as they hug Pim. There are red words partially covered by their arms on Pim's back.
Panel 8: The person looks down with an eyebrow raised as the text is revealed. It reads, "Nothing I do will ever be right" as Pim sweats profusely.
Panel 9: Background cuts to white as the two sit on a bench. They are writing new things on their backs with a marker and smiling. Pim's says "Just try ur best," the other person has "you have inherent worth."

Mechanic AU?? This started from wanting to draw Tony in a jumpsuit and then sort of spiraled from there. Hayes manages scheduling/marketing/basically everything in the garage that isn't actually fixing the cars.

I thought about Hayes’ helmet prongs being able to emote for .2 seconds and nOW IT IS CANON. Of course it wouldn’t really work like that, but… suspension of disbelief, baby!

Vesper Howie @lightningidle.bsky.social · 17/09/2025

Hayes has a huge giant world-ending crush on Tony. The two met when they brought him some broken toys to fix- now they're moony over him. But the way he talks, they're pretty sure the feelings wouldn't be reciprocated, so the helmet stays ON whenever they're around him. More on that later!

I like the idea of Hayes and Chance being cousins, since their (general) properties are owned by the same toy company. They're good buddies!!
