Hello Storyteller.

Hm. So is Plastique going to be the "wants to fuck the hero" villain, or the "noble demon" villain?

user please

It's a classic Pieta which will accordingly never go out of style, and will always resonate

I never understood why people shat on Snyder for using it in BvS. People have been ripping off that pose since BEFORE Michaelangelo. He ripped it off of other artists.

muh user

so I think I may have

MY GOD BEES

above the shed.

I think people just hate all the Jesus stuff he has forced in general. Just another drop in the bucket.

>Khmer
Cambodia has a rich and fascinating history which, like most of human history, involves racial oppression, batshit insane warlords, and several attempts at genocide. It's kind of amazing that the Khmer people still exist.

Nothing ever looks quite so dead as the Pietà.

Bees? Are you going to hit them with some poison OP?

Zirch is being entertaining tonight on Twitter

yeah, it's an essential bit of Western iconography

Turn it into a hive.

I'm going to call someone tomorrow about checking this out and hopefully removing them without mass bee murder

this is very, very true

I am pretty much terrified of bees, which can be a bit of a gardening problem, I admit

>forced Jesus symbolism
>in a Superman story
>implying that's new
Fucking casuals.

>using Nate's body as a shield
Pfft! Bette, pls.

I'm glad Zircher says this stuff. The voice of reason.

Today I learned about the Andrew Jackson's big-ass wheel of cheese and the Cheshire Mammoth Cheese thanks to Kurt Busiek. And all thanks to angry Olicity shippers. Ah, Twitter.

She's a practical woman!

OP is a faggot

I went into my bathroom earlier and there was a spider dangling from the ceiling

I didn't kill it but now I don't know where it is so I kind of wish I did

...

Bees are cute IMO. And holy in Utah. Consider the lilies of the field, but don't forget their tenders either.

I think the annoyance is less about the existence of the imagery but that people feel as if he thinks he's being clever by doing it rather than it just being included.

But fuck movies, I don't really care.

Spiders are cute IMO. We should let them shelter in our houses, for the frailest of houses is surely the house of the spider.

Squirt water at them to assert your dominance

Also how many heroes have been started by bombs? All I know of are Hulk, Miracleman, and Cap here, but there's gotta be more.

I know spiders are good and that the tiny one in my bathroom cannot actually hurt me, but they still creep me the hell out

Bees are cute, but holy shit fuck yellowjackets. They don't die by their stings so they're much more trigger-happy and aggressive.

>Spiders are cute IMO
>Bees are cute IMO
user, you're sick and you sicken me. Get outta my house!

If he used just the one, people would make jokes about being unsubtle with the Jesus metaphor.
With EVERYTHING ELSE, it stops being a cutsey joke and it becomes a legit criticism.

Nathaniel Adam: Also Jesus

I am 100% calling someone who will try to safely remove them, bees are amazing and I plant things they love, I just have a profound phobia of shit that flies and stings thanks to elementary school-age trauma.

I found that studying biology (and actually having experience out in the woods backpacking and camping and shit) has made me stop caring about most bugs and reptiles.

I'm just trying to work as many religious quotations as I can in there. I admit I don't have one for wasps though . I'm sorry Snyder. I have failed you.

a couple years ago a coworker told me that she woke up and her apartment was full of bees EVERYWHERE, all over the floor and in the bed and on the counters and all over the place

a gardener coworker recommended that she call a beekeeper and have them save as many bees as they could, until the first coworker showed us some pictures she took

they weren't bees, they were YELLOWJACKETS. there were THOUSANDS OF YELLOWJACKETS all over her apartment

FUCK yellowjackets I hate them so much

The best way to kill those, btw: find the nest. At night, cover it with a glass bowl that's dug in slightly around the entrance. They will try to escape to the light and starve to death.

user, Bees make delicious honey and they help pollinate flowers (unlike Wasps, which are just evil little bastards). And if you keep Spiders, they kill the flies and other creepy crawlies that infest your home.

I actually did study biology but spiders are still creepy and bugs are still gross

reptiles are fine though, snakes a cute

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

strategic leg position, and she's 100% getting an eyeful

Ah when I was a kid I was 100% the kid who would just sit and let the bee/wasp crawl over his face. I've only been stung once that I can remember, but I got a bit more wary when I witnessed a severe reaction.

horrifying

Wow I wonder what happened there.

>comic book sales are not valid evidence for any argument, imo. The whole sales system/apparatus is broken
>is it naive to think the big two should seriously try to appeal and sell to more than small, core weekly readership?
And this guy calls himself 'Occam's Razor'

NOOOOOOOOOOOO

>snakes a cute
True. Some bugs are cute too.

I stuck my hand in my hair and got a yellowjacket sting and had to have antibiotics for the swelling in my fingers; pretty traumatic for an 8-year old

Terrorist skills, baby.

I think some yellowjackets had built a nest in the walls of her apartment (it was a repurposed old factory building iirc) and eventually found a way into the apartment

That sounds deliberate really. Like someone had to have done it on purpose.

That's totally fascinating. Do you know how it got resolved? What did she do when she woke up and saw them everywhere?

That reminds me of the time my cousin tricked me into believing that if your hair was clean, bees would fly in and make a nest.

My cousin was a bit of a dick.

The one time I got stung once of my friends was trying to hit a wasp with an empty juice can and it got annoyed and stung me, so it was still a valuable moral lesson.

It's always totally fascinating to me how early traumas can influence later/adult behavior.

NGL, I would have freaked the complete fuck out

Man, I've read a hundred fics with this scenario. It kicks right in the id.

never gonna catch up to the capt.

Plastique backstory is new, never knew I should read her with an accent

>Do you know how it got resolved?
I think they had to stay somewhere else for a few days until an exterminator got in there and made sure there wasn't a nest and got rid of all the ones in her apartment (although like a week later she said she was still finding them in cupboards and crannies occasionally)

>What did she do when she woke up and saw them everywhere?
beyond FREAK THE FUCK OUT? I think they grabbed a few clothes and got the hell out of there. she said her husband got stung once but I am amazed they didn't both get stung a bunch of times

yeah, she's Quebecoise

My favorite part about the wheel of cheese story is that when Van Buren was president he kept finding leftover cheese in closets and shit

Jackson was fucking wild

Most birds are cute, he's got stacked genetics.

dat metal ass

>The best way to kill those, btw: find the nest. At night, cover it with a glass bowl that's dug in slightly around the entrance. They will try to escape to the light and starve to death.

Pour gasoline down their nest and let them suffocate in it.

I like childhood anecdotes/fictions like this. I knew a girl who used to say the spots on her ears were flies' eggs and they'd hatch if we bothered her.

>Man, I've read a hundred fics with this scenario. It kicks right in the id.
I am not brave enough to delve into the world of fanfiction.

gasoline is not the best thing for the health of the surrounding soil, though.

that seems dangerous especially in the summer

Fuck that shit, just use a flamethrower.

Man I thought OP was referencing friend-and-enemy-trapped-together fics. If they were referring to waking up surrounding by thousands of insects fics, I want some links.

That's wild. That actually seems really exploitable for some fiction story.

No no no, insects are definitely not my kink, although it's okay if they're your kink, this is a non-judgemental storytime

except for Loki

What about OTP-trapped-together-in-a-cave-full-of-wasps?

It would be super easy to turn into a horror or scifi story!

Sex pollen? Old hat. WE SEX WASPS NOW

that sounds like it ought to be a Chuck Tingle story

I would only really avoid it for something truly well written but if it's just normal mediocre stuff then no real harm done. I mean it's still mostly wish fulfillment and porn but seeing other scenarios play out with canon knowledge can be fun enough. Can't take it seriously.

>you get to have wild sex
>the downside is the sex wasps are going to lay eggs in your sting wounds

...

It's not my kink but I find them and especially how they're used in stories and stuff very interesting. Also considering how distinct the idea of a bee is from the idea of a cow, dog, pig, etc in human cultures.

>It would be super easy to turn into a horror or scifi story!
Yeah but I can see it working when included even where it's not the main beat of the story. It's just a really effective scene to imagine.

>I--I don't remember!

Oviposition kink is a weird place.

...

awww yesss

Plastique, have you ever heard the term 'tsundere'?

So in answer to my first question, turns out she's both the noble demon, AND the wants to fuck the hero villain. Interesting.

backstory time!

I appreciate they drop you into this series without making a slog through everything chronologically

I mean, if you have a disease that makes you only talk in TVtropes pages, I guess so?

...

Dammit. Bees.

...

Bees with the skull jacket on are always the worst ones.

>Why did I save him? I don't know. What are these feelings....
Oh this is fucking classic.

>not allowed to refer to archetypes because user's a little bitch
Hey, user. Do me and the rest of the world a favor and just jump off a cliff, will ya? Thanks.

...

...

why are you so upset about being called out

is Eiling the biggest cock we've encountered in some time, or what?

>confusing yellowjackets and bees
How do people get them mixed up?

They had to replace all the carpets too, right?

yellowjackets aren't as obviously malevolent as, like, wood hornets

He'd be the perfect guy for Tinya's mom in the Post Zero Hour Legion. Both are evil for evils sake.

These dudes' arms are really throwing me off.

The Superchrist allegories were thick enough even without the Church scene in MoS. That apparently they're even more superfluous in BvS is unsurprising.

The problem is not the existence of the pose, it's the context.
And with Snyderman, the context is "this is super serious, like religion, don't you get it, you dummies!"

All animals are cute. Except fleas.
