(context: Dwayne McDuffie brought the character back for a Justice League story where Anansi had messed with reality, altering the backstories of several Justice League members just to mess with Vixen)
oh, also that bottom panel with no dialogue originally had the character asking if he could say the N-word now, but that didn't make it past editorial.
(I think it's funnier this way.)
PFFFFFFFHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
the "dire wolves are no longer extinct" stuff is gonna be the most annoyingly persistent science misinformation for the next decade at least
I'm going to have to say this multiple times, but you do not have to use Generative AI to create background characters, locations, or plot ideas. There are hundreds of writing generators out there lovingly crafted for free by folks who want nothing more than to give you tools for writing. Please just search for them.
You do not have to use the Unethical Thieving Machine That Burns Down A Rainforest to help you write. There are so many resources out there that will strengthen your writing, not weaken it. You owe it to yourself to do better.
work.
The Epitaph reads:
Gentle stranger, drop a tear,
The C.S.A. lies buried here:
In youth it lived and prosper'd
well,
But like Lucifer it fell;
Its body here, its soul in -- well
Even if I knew I wouldn't tell.
Rest C.S.A. from every strife,
Your death is better than your
life:
And this one line shall grace your grave-
Your death gave freedom to the
slave.

I love his stated intention behind these projects, ‘Confuse historians’.
“My work will be really funny when somebody discovers it in a drawer five hundred years from now and they don’t know what they’re looking it.” --- Jeff de Boer
As motivations for your incredibly specific and highly skilled hobby go, it’s certainly up there! Do incredibly detailed things just to confuse our descendants! It’ll be really funny.

I know, it’s so fucking tiring. And they can never see that automatically assuming that the entire world is either Europe or the USA is them demonstrating the actual fucking problem. “Oh we’re so big and spread out with big distances between places, oh we’re so isolated, oh our education system sucks, oh our government is uniquely bad” THE USA IS MEDIOCRE IN ALL OF THOSE THINGS. STOP PRETENDING TO BE SPECIAL AND MAKING EXCUSES. YOUR INTERNET IS SO SO FUCKING GOOD, SHUT UP AND USE IT TO LEARN SOMETHING.

I don't play it much, but from where I am, it looks like saying "you can do anything with DND" is a lot like saying "you can do anything with an air fryer".
like yes you CAN technically boil water in an air fryer if you know what you're doing, but that's not what it was built for. and if you try to bake in one like it's a normal oven, it'll be raw in the middle. and it's not fair to judge an air fryer as being a bad air fryer for not being good at baking and boiling when it is meant for frying.
so if you're making something based on DND but don't like or want the combat system, or the leveling system, or the distinct classes and species, or the magic system, or or or or or- then maybe use something else.
The particular problem with D&D 5e is twofold.
i think that, if youre usamerican and any time someone calls out your lack of knowledge on global geography you start talking about how bad the usa education is and how its actually not your fault that you dont know what continent nigeria is on because you cant look at the google maps bc donald trump will personally shoot you, youre very annoying
literally nobody is asking you to point them all on a blank map or know their capitals or count at least 3 major cities but there was someone in the notes who thought egypt was in eastern europe and someone who thought canada was on a separate continent from the usa. knowing sort-of where myanmar or bosnia or montenegro or somalia or laos are is literally the basic minimum and you cant even do that. if you think your knowledge of the georaphy is lacking instead of telling everyone on this site about how "they just didnt teach me that in school!" you can literally open the wikipedia list of countries and look at them. there are blank maps of continents online which you can use to practice. you can google "learn all the countries ever" and youll find a free flash game or some shit. "they didnt teach me that in school" jesus fucking christ
