Ten questions I'd ask various superheroes if they were real:
1. Squirrel Girl: What are you going to call yourself when you're forty?
2. Black Panther and Aquaman: Shouldn't you guys be, like, at home settling trade disputes instead of running around in tight pants?
3. Martian Manhunter: Suspenders with shorts? Is that a Martian thing?
4. America Chavez: If you just gently poked some cookie dough with your finger, would it make star shapes?
5. Iron Man: What do you do if you have an itch?
6. Beast Boy: So, when you turn into an animal, is it always a boy animal?
7. Wolverine: If you and Vandal Savage got in a fight, which of you do you think would get bored and go home first?
8. The Flash: Do women actually like the speed thing? Because, you know...
9. The Thing: Do you think the right moisturizer would help?
10. Violet Parr: Have you ever searched your own name on a site called Rule34?- Show previous comments 3 more

@Strange_idea Certainly.
@WillowDarkling Foal me once, shame on you. Foal me twice…
@JayDee All I know is, dog welding is not something you should try in your garage on the weekend, I’ll tell you that.

Well, squirrel girls both knows she's never going to and is ditzy enough to be totally caught off guard if she does.
They do both, but aqua man is an easily bored conqueror king first and a politician second, while t'challa's generally solving a trade dispute by hunting the most dangerous game.
With manhunter it's an "I'm every bit as strong as Superman and know EXACTLY what you just thought. What are you going to do?" thing. And probably easy to shape-shift into.
You KNOW Tony added some kind of massage device and it went wrong.
This is actually Canon, but beast boy can turn into other humans (but isn't allowed to by writers) and even species like krytponians. Since several species are female only, that would mean he can change genders. And if not he can borrow it from an animal.

Ten ways you'll explain to your grandkids all those pictures of you in a face mask.
1. "This was right before I fought Goro in the semifinals."
2. "Unfortunately, our Kickstarter campaign for M*A*S*H: The Musical only collected a dollar eighty-nine."
3. “Yeah, your gramma really loved it when I’d put on this mask and- You know what, never mind.”
4. “They used to make all the ugly kids wear these. I hope puberty is kinder to you than it was to me.”
5. "...an' I did it all with nothin' but my horse, my pearl-handled six-shooter, an' that there mask."
6. “I could teach you, but be warned: The way of the shinobi is not an easy one.”
7. “On the up side, I got paid five hundred dollars for being on When Rhinoplasties Go Wrong.”
8. “This was long before you could just buy a kit to make meth.”
9. “Safe sex made one hell of a comeback in the 2020s.”
10. “I tell you, the very last thing you want when you’re fighting zombies is to smash one in the head and get splatter in your mouth.”

It must be my age, but M*A*S*H: The Musical gave me the best laugh. Now you have me wondering which modern actors would be cast for the main roles… and who would play the helicopters?
Still, all of them are fun. Now I’m almost tempted to start the process to have some grandkids of my own.

I had to go to the post office yesterday. It was surprisingly busy, and it wasn’t easy to keep six feet away from everyone (although there were lines of tape on the floor for the folks standing in line). Ahead of me in line, a white man and a Latina woman got into an argument about one of them (I wasn’t sure who) cutting in front of them, and the guy told the woman to “go back to Mexico.” (Never mind that she spoke with an American accent.) Just overhearing that made me feel awful for the next hour.

There was a similar incident in my local post office a few years ago, where an older woman lashed out at a young Latina woman. To my great joy, I was not the only one telling the older woman that her language and attitude were completely uncalled for, and that she was in the wrong to begin with.
But right now, I think we should all try to be a bit kinder. We need the kindness.

If you have Netflix and you’re looking for a fun animated series to watch, I’d like to recommend Glitch Techs. The main characters are fun and likable (Miko’s way of speaking reminds me a lot of Star Butterfly’s), and the show is full of amusing video game references that even non-fanatics like me get.

Feeling kind of bummed about my legit writing right now.
- 25 rejections (and counting) from agents regarding my first book.
- Stuck on my second book.
- No good ideas for my third book.
Why is legit writing so much harder than smut?

Don’t despair first and foremost. Rejection sucks but when all else fails you might have to end up doing it yourself.
-
Thanks for the support, all.
FS, all of the responses from agents go something like this: Dear George, Thank you for including me in your agent queries. Unfortunately this doesn't feel like the right project for me at this time. I'm so sorry, but this is a pass for me. I wish you all the best in your endeavor. Sincerely, Agent X
There is one bright spot: After posting this status update, I realized that I need to write something that is going to make me happy. So instead of going for another scifi epic, I’m going to try scifi comedy.

I may diss my phone a lot, but I was very impressed a while back when I started dictating the final chapter of "Country Summer." Not only did it use a colon where I wanted it to -- instead of just writing the word "colon" -- but it put the chapter title in proper title case ("Chapter 11: Under the Stars"). You go, Google.

All right, this one my phone didn't learn from me: When I typed "friends with," its first suggestion was "benefits."
Okay, yes, that was actually what I was going to type, but that's beside the point.

At least it didn’t suggest “a pickup truck,” which would mean your phone thinks you use people. No, it sounds like your phone think’s you’re a nice guy and wants you to be happy.

After all these years, I'm finally ready to confess: I killed the radio star and framed Video for it. Sadly, Video died in prison in 1998, but I hope this confirmation of his innocence brings some comfort to his two children, MP3 and Streaming.

Sadly, Video was quote unquote massacred by the titan Internet and prison guards including forensic cleaning personnel requiring extensive therapy to recover from the trauma.

More of George’s Phone Follies: A while back, I had to delete my phone’s entire custom dictionary because every time I began typing a word that began with the letter F, it wouldn’t stop suggesting “fuckfuckfuckityfuck” (which I used ONCE in a chapter of “Country Summer”).

For financial reasons (some self-inflicted, some because of my mother-in-law’s medical expenses), I am giving up cable TV. Will have to find some other way to watch The Loud House and Craig of the Creek. Or else my cartoon fanfics are going to be taking a Netflixy turn.

I thought I saw one when my neighbour’s apartment had a blow out but it turned out to be a costumed stripper and they were having a frat party or something. I am sure there is a very boring answer involving trends in education and gender disparity in the work force. I imagined it would level out since things are getting so complicated even car mechanics are now basically electricians and need degrees to keep up with the space ships they’re rolling out nowadays. I remember my mind being blown when I got a new car that only had 1 key and could open and start the car from my house. I imagine electricians are also having to become highly educated.

Japan lifts whaling ban, as it tries to revive a dying industry
-
“Japan’s Fisheries Agency has allocated the equivalent of about $463 million to supporting whaling for the 2019 fiscal year.”
So the government is paying whalers to harvest an animal with fragile populations that people aren’t eating in the first place? Looks like this emoji’s time has come once again:

Breaks my heart more than a little bit. I have… conflicting feelings about hunting in general, and though whales are my favourite animals in the universe, I can be convinced hunting them isn’t a total outrage, provided it’s regulated, sustainable and obviously doesn’t touch the species with waning populations, but greedy people be dicks and almost always take shit too far. So no. Don’t touch my whales, dudes!

So I’m wondering: When I finish my She-Ra and the Princesses of Power fanfic (God help me), should I request a new category for it, or should I post it with the stories from the old She-Ra show? (Last post there was in 2012.)
-
Thundercats only has the one category for all the series’ so it looks like there’s some precedent for sticking new series in with 80s series! I guess it’ll take a mod to give the decision

I suppose it would make sense to put it in the existing She-Ra category, as it’s just labeled “She-Ra” and doesn’t include the “Princess of Power” subtitle that would make it specific to the 80s series.

I think sticking with the original She-Ra category is certainly the quickest solution.

I was reading the comments on a news article today, and someone mentioned that in Greek mythology, the male gods (chiefly Zeus) often lied for sex with women or raped them outright. Then another poster asked, “What if the version of Greek mythology that was passed down to us was the rule 34 fanfic of its time”?
