A new X2 fic: Sinister Designs (PG13 - R for adult situatio

Considering how well I deal with hauntings, It looks like I'd better get the next part out with all due speed.... :shifty Sinister Designs: Chapter 11 When the lights went to "submarine red", Moira and Isidro knew something was up. They prayed it was Xavier's promised rescue. Moira in part...

X-MEN UNLIMITED #7

The infamous "pimp Wagner" shot was from the end of issue 2 of the original Excalibur, right after the Warwolves had been taken care of. Everyone from Excalibur was mixed in with a crowd watching the Warwolves in their new environment: the London Zoo. :LOL Kurt had on these HUGE sunglasses...

I'm pretty sure it wasn't about the money. I think it's one of his lifelong dreams. Sort of like how Steve Jackson *really* wants to direct a new King Kong , Singer *really* wants to do a new Superman . When you've become as well-regarded as Singer, you can afford to call your own shots, and I'd hav...

That's why I take a quick flip through new comics before I pay for them now. I was annoyed enough way back in the day with New Mutants , when they had this "everybody is happy" cover right after Doug Ramsey got killed; the cover had NOTHING to do with the overly angsty story within (where ...

OMFG! IT'S A FANFIC! BLAH BLAH BLAH!

Fuzzy, I looked up the stuff on FF.net, and I loved every word of it.... but it seems incomplete. (Perhaps due to FF.Net's "no higher than R rating" rule.) DId you ever do anything further with your universe?.... Cause I'd really, really, really like to read it.... :naughty

I guess we all walk away from the Draco arc with different interpretations, because I saw "Azazel" as just another a powerful mutant. (Albeit an amoral one who assumed the role of something supernatural for political reasons, then started "buying into his own press".) And conside...

I think that "root creature" is one of the old Transformers villains from the late 80s. The "judges" that would rotate faces around when they gave their decrees? What has me cocking my head is the "I don't suck anymore" line. Um... wait... Aside from a silly attempt at ...

For all of us with cats.... Presenting... Litter Box Furnitu

From what I can tell, most of these things open up on one side, and the whole box can slide out some of those "drawer slides". It looks more difficult to do than it really is. In the apartment, I tried several different ways of doing the cat box thing. Tried a Litter Maid, and was sorely d...

This is incredible. I mean, it's so simple on the face of it, but I never considered the idea of "hiding" a litter box in some sort of furniture. You can hide that thing in a "potted plant", a cabinet, a chest, a "wicker box".... And I took a look at these $300 wooden w...

Female abuse in games, comics, and videos

I think part of that may be their culture's way of expressing "youth = sexy and desirable". *Everyone* does that; it's how we're programmed to work. Young females (15-28 or so) are at their child-bearing peak, and so are *designed* to look more sexually desirable than those who are past th...
