As I the only one who thinks all this online drama focus on Hades and Persephone is a little creepy? Like in the original story Persephone was a kidnapped child forced into marriage who can only be let out of the house at certain times during the year and her mother is so upset about this that Winter exists! Not to mention some telling a involving Zeus promising his child niece to his BROTHER for marriage which is why he doesn’t just ***** slap Hades and take Kore back. Oh yeah. That’s right. He takes away her name too! Turning this into steamy consensual anime romance just seams a little sick to me.
Huh, I've never heard about this. Kore literally means "maiden", so I've always thought she just took another name after her marriage as she's no longer one.

I’ve heard other people translate Kore as simply “girl”. So maybe that colored my perception of the story a bit.
Demeter and Kore used to be a pair of goddesses worshiped together, so I assume they were supposed to represent two stages of womanhood in pre-Hellenistic vegetation/chthonic cults. Unless they were a three-faced goddess and one of them just got lost in transition.

I still wish we could get my dream lineup of programming. A Superman show on Sunday, a Batman show on Monday, Wonder Woman on Teusday, Flash on Wednesday, Green Lantern on Thursday, Aquaman on Friday, and Martian Manhunter on Saturday. With yearly “Justice League” crossover events. Basically the Arrowverse but good and animated.
so you asked for far too much for DC to give anybody just now. Last time we got an original animated series we got Green Lantern...and was canceled due to that ***** ass movie (tho I suppose DC Superhero Girls could be considered fresh and original). Otherwise everything else has involved Batman characters being a main character

I am fully vaccinated.

Screw covid, all my homies hate covid.
Wowz what a coincidence, because I too just got fully vaccinated like an hour ago.
Nice to hear! I hope for your own sake, you two are able to rest up tommorow. Second dose hits hard.

Anyways I get my second shot on the 4th of June. Made sure to request the following day off.

So far, I'm not feeling anything. The prick actually hurt this time, but no side effects so far.

what part of the word DREAM do you not understand? It's just my ideal scenario. Not the only thing that will make me happy. And it's not like Batman won't be involved at all. I just think it would be nice is all.

that's what Superman TAS, Superman & Lois, and all the other older shows about him are for...and you should know by now that Batman will never NOT have a show.

The day DC stops overpushing Batman is the day they kill off as many of their characters as possible
Superman TAS was still a Superman growing show. He started out as a nobody and went through the motions. that every thing has to repeat. Give me a series that revolves around All Star Superman. something that shows his more human element. As for batman. He is bland now. they ruined it.

Both of those are not surprising to me
you gonn need to teach me your magic then

well if TAS doesn't count, then there's only Superman & Lois that can remain (Supergirl also, but her show not his). Really awesome show that's somehow in the Arrowverse despite the better writing and higher budget (budget like Stargirl, Titans, or Doom Patrol)

I wouldn't say he's ruined. Batman still has many great things going on for him (even after his marriage backfired).

Dreams do not exist within the DC fanbase...only brute vocal force and praying that you ain't harassed or lose a favorite thing from them

So woke up feeling iffy but I've spent the day engrossed in my new light novel so that's enough for me. Tomorrow will need to show some evidence of interest in something I want to do over summer which I haven't been able to produce much results for.


Its hard to believe that it had been almost 17 years since FRIENDS came to an end.
Everyone aged like 5 years there and then there's Matt le Blanc has aged like 15. Suppose that's what happens when you host Top Gear.

I am fully vaccinated.

Screw covid, all my homies hate covid.
Nice there dude. I'm still waiting.

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news but it was recently said that Taiwan got the British variant oh covid that's more transmissible going around
funny how all the bad stuff seem to have came out of Britain
I mean hey the UK mainland is going to **** everything up for the rest of us again by allowing the Indian variant in.

Me waiting for the vaccine because I'm not eligible apparently


Thanks Boris you mop-headed ****
Still waiting for mine as well. I was eligible ages ago but couldn't get it.

And also it's pretty worrying how push through the mainland is on getting back to normalcy. I think it's going to be a recipe for disaster honestly.

I will check out Superman and Lois, but if there is an origin story, I am not interested. I already know the origin.
Nah. Batman is over. We have had, what. 4 movie series batmen now. He has shown us his tricks. He is boring. Same issue with superman. the writers just dont know what to do with the character. And in batmans case, he is a mary sue now. perfect. Even the newest super batman villain is just evil batman.
