"Look, I am sorry if anyone took offense at my unstoppable torrent of radioactive breath. I have human friends who are also irradiated and they all know I have nothing but respect for the radioactive community."
"I was raised on the rough streets of Monster Island and if an army of tanks disrespects you, you can't just blow smoke rings and cry, right? Especially with a famous dad.
Anyway, I'm sorry if anyone I stepped on felt bullied. I know that pain."
“Sure, if you want to place blame on someone for the destruction of Australia, if that’s just SO important to you, fine, go ahead, fire your giant robot at me, I guess.
But you are draining comity and civility from this whole thing, man.”
“The names I called Hedorah are not what is in my heart as a person or a giant lizard or whatever and to anyone I have hurt with my careless words or deeds or massive claws, I am truly sorry.”
Cons in other countries don’t separate comics people from the celebrities. So you often spend a week between two cons, getting to know actors, wrestlers, and other famous people.
We always found nearly all of them lovely people.
Guess which group consistently wasn’t?
:)
1/
It wasn’t actors. In general, they have nearly all been really sweet people.
Guess again.
2/
It wasn’t wrestlers. I have had zero bad experiences with any of the wrestlers I’ve met and quite a few were above-and-beyond lovely to their fans.
It’s short and a little selfish but really was lovely.
Here’s a thing. We have a dear friend who has become a brother to me, he lives in Florida and works at Walt Disney World.
1/
We have ended up adopting him, his brother, and his mom as family, and they have done the same for us, just found family all the way.
We haven’t been able to see them of course, since the pandemic, and it sucks, but we keep in contact all the time.

This year, because we’re stuck at home, hubby and I had considered buying a big @LEGO_Group set, something from the Disney Parks. We had always considered buying one but had just never pulled the trigger. We were going to get either the Disneyland Train or the Castle.

Bear with me...I’ve done the math and it checks out, but I have no way to prove it, so it’s purely theoretical.
At this time.

Here’s the thing...it wasn’t supposed to be this bad.
There are safeguards, you see? Many times when things were going dark, heroes, mostly reluctant heroes, would appear from elsewhere to save us. To set things right.
But this year, they didn’t...why?
2/
When things go bad., it’s because someone messed with the timeline, and someone else has to set it right.
A thousand alternate timelines have been stopped before they could happen, because these chronsl plumbers showed up to fix the leak before it floods the house.

There are some characters I would like to try writing sometime.
A big one is Supergirl. DC felt they didn’t have a great take on her...I rarely do pitches but they asked, and I wrote what I thought was one of my best ideas ever. I could be biased, but it felt amazing.
1/
It centered around the idea of a character-defining villain, someone scary af to a Kryptonian orphan. The pitch was so badass, and I really wanted to do it. I wanted to put everything I had on the table to make people see Kara as her own, unique thing.
2/
I loved Peter David’s run and some others, but this take was going the opposite way, focusing less on the ‘girl’ part, and a bit more on the science fiction and powerhouse elements of the character.
