Hey, hear me out, though.

What if Picard isn’t just gay but SUPER gay and when he says ‘Earl Grey, hot,’ he doesn’t mean tea, he’s ordering up his favorite member of the British gentry in assless chaps?
Here’s the actual Earl Grey of Thiddlewich-On-The-Thames, Viscount of Piddlesworth Abbey.
Remember how in his greatest fantasy, he’s a private dick?

I don’t know how it’s relevant but it’s fun to say. ‘Dick.’
Also, when Picard says he's going to 'use the transporter?'

He means he's going to do Jason Statham.

Guys, I don’t like to brag, but I just booked a vacation at the beautiful Four Seasons, which I presume is a hotel, in Philadelphia, next to what I can only assume is some sort of day spa by the lovely name Fantasy Island.

Relaxation, here I come!
The Yelp reviews say you can smell the popular local barbecue ovens next door...mouth watering! Supposedly they use a method called the ‘Delaware Valley fry rub’ that makes the meat just fall off the bone.

This is going to rock, you guys!
Holy crap, I just checked google Earth and a walking corpse keeps tucking in his shirt outside the spa...he’s tucked it in like six times already.

Dude! A little decorum, please!

My question of the day is this...

How would the average citizens of the world actually respond to a world like the Marvel or DC Earth?

What would change, societally?

If you know there is a physical hell, people have been there...if you know aliens watch us, what changes?
Would there by huge groups worshipping the Asgardians or the Eternals?
I also think there would be a Banish the Green Lantern Corps movement.

A space police force with unbeatable weapons made from superior technology...we would never handle that well.

This is a Scandal Savage Stan thread.

Here are some Scandal facts. Image
I didn’t mean a Big SURPRISE in creating the character (@daleeaglesham came up with her gorgeous design.

But it did irk me that there were so few gay women characters in the mainstream superhero books of the time.

She was supposed to be short and a little stocky, and Brazilian.
Which was frustrating, because I knew there were a LOT of lgbtq readers of comics. Whole communities.

So I wanted a lesbian character where there was no ambiguity about it, and who had zero regrets, and also a team that supported her.

Okay, I am about to tell a bit of a story.

You're going to want to be prepared for this, fair warning.
Seriously, this is quite emotional.

It's about a little boy who fell in love with superheroes at a very young age.
His name is Zaadii, he's Navajo, and when he was just three years old, his sister got a FROZEN cape.

At the same time, he discovered the BATMAN syndicated tv show, the Adam West one, and he decided that superheroes were EVERYTHING.

So, he stole the cape every chance he got.
