startling revelations from a book i found at my local comic shop
rouge the bat
the cat
I wish my staus was “friend of knuckles”
Is she.. you know? (flaps hands like wings) a Friend of Knuckles?
She’s something of a confirmed batchelor
[ID by @homemadeknees a photo of a page from a book about Sonic the Hedgehog characters. The page reads, “Rogue the Bat, Stats: Species: Cat Gender: Female Weight: Unknown Height: 3 feet 6 inches Status: Friend of Knuckles]
that time when Samus’ gender was still a secret so the licenced manga went ahead and depicted Samus Aran as a cool male hero surrounded by women, except it backfired and instead Samus is now a lesbian icon
Helpful addition from the dead bird site
[IDs: First is a manga panel showing Samus Aran from Metroid in power armor with two women in bikinis. Saying “go for it Samus!” and “you’re our hero!” Second image is a tweet by DartsEnthusiast “I often see people bringing up that panel from a 1986 Metroid manga which "accidentally turned Samus into a lesbian icon”, yet for some reason these posts always miss the next page revealing it’s from *a promotional video she directed herself*, making the whole thing even better.“ Attached image is manga panel page showing Samus watching the previous panel on a viewscreen and saying "mmmmm I feel very good watching my promotional video. Which will I play next?” Last panel Samus is interrupted by an alert beeping on the ship]
being a certain gender doesnt make you evil. youre not automatically evil just because youre a man youre automatically evil because of the amulet
Look, we’re not against masculinity, just cursed masculinity. If your idea of manhood is intrinsically linked to the magics corrupting your soul, you need to work on that
I know your dad told you you need the amulet to be a Real Man, but consider whether wearing the amulet actually made him happy, or whether it just made him have to spend days locked up in the shadowy tower wearily reciting the arcane ciphers by bog-light.
