Batman Family Abolitionist

three characters of mine, drawn by the incomparable @ink_cornrbox! it's been an absolute joy to see these characters brought to life, and a pleasure to work with a great friend and incredible talent.

the real truth nuke is that I think Hickman sincerely believes they would have figured out a way to save everybody if those stupid STEMlord chuds hadn’t gotten in the way. everything lives

guess I learned how the counter/parry mechanic worked for no reason then. razor hughes isn't gonna know what hit him

someone on midterms night said ‘we’re skipping right to woke 3.0’ and people picked it up, it’s about as meaningless as ‘woke 2.0’ was to begin with

breaks my heart you can’t use the sandevistan during them anymore

napoleon is kind of hard to beat as far as Guys go

Jonathan Hickman eternity of humiliation

@ChrisVanHollen they are not delusions if the grandeur is real. Google napoleon

he has A SOLVENT!!! BENDIIIIISSSS

idk the details of the case but they also have a buff because Futaba is like a cartoon hacker who could just Dark Knight the entire town’s phones until they figure out who it is

in defense of the PTs they did figure Akechi out and pull a crazy trick on him, although mostly thanks to an unforced error on his part

I've only played the CRPGs, but from what I recall, healing spells only undo the last instance of damage marked on the character- if they took a hit for 27 it'll heal 27, if it was just 4 they'll only heal for 4. Interesting balance choice

RETVRN

Every day we get closer to God Cop being real

I'm not familiar enough to say but I can see what you're getting at, the Stainless Steel Rat books are definitely proto YA as well

huh? I'm hardly a shooter for clarke or heinlein but I wouldn't call their work YA. a lot of it is very pulpy but I wouldn't classify that as YA per se, I think they're meaningfully distinct categories

yeah but it’s okay when the story is good

that said not having social links for the male party members sucks, Reload did add a few one-off events with them that weren't in the original but it still feels kind of paltry compared to the development the women get

as opposed to P5 where you could be ride-or-die with Ryuji before the second palace is done, but then your relationship with him doesn't really progress at all through the rest of the game

I found this frustrating at first because it felt like I wasn't getting to know the core cast as well as the other characters, but ultimately it serves a greater narrative purpose because they start to open up to you as the events of the game bring you closer together
