Speak, Nerd, and Enter!
Slow week because of the 4th of July holiday in the U.S. but here’s your spot to talk about anything under the sun not already being covered on TheNerdyBird.com!
I restarted Steven Universe after giving it a shot a few years ago. I am officially hooked. I just watched Season 1, Episode 45 – “Rose’s Scabbard” – and I have heart eyes. Don’t spoil anything for me! I’ve avoided most chatter about the show over the years. P.S. Garnet is my favorite.
In other news:
Just watched Okja. I'm 😢😢😢

[…] share your favorite breaking news, cosplay, and more below. Oh! And consider this your new “Speak, Nerd, and Enter!” too since that’s about to roll off the front page and it seems silly to put up […]

Apparently I don’t need to make a list of what I want from season two of Riverdale.

They’re going to fight Master-Blaster style.
I gotta say, they really get their audience.

I like it a lot more than the old S&M get-up, that’s for sure. Looks like maybe the top half is vaguely New 52 Canary inspired. Still wish they’d give her a wig to make her disguise a bit more disguise-y.
The CW can only afford one wig! http://media.comicbook.com/2017/03/barry-allen-bad-hair-once-and-future-flash-987404.png
I got an Ocean Master (Throne of Atlantis) on sale, but which trident should I customize for him?

I’m sorry I had to
You scamp! That’s still too many options for my indecisive mind to choose from!
Also the Teen Titans foe should get an endorsement.

“Look at the size of the Rock on my finger”
Too good. Why didn’t I think of that??
In the meantime, I found this trailer a bit ago: https://youtu.be/JycCFypvgmI
Obviously I’d be more interested if he were played by an actual crip, but after last year’s Me Before Euthanasia catastrophe I’ll take any positive representation I can get. At least with this one he can’t be healed or “nobley” kill himself at the end if they’re actually sticking with Cavendish’s real life. And it should even manage to avoid being inspiration porn since the guy actually did stuff that was inspiring!

O hay, just posted a new page of the webcomic and remembered that I had asked you and Jill about chairs. I opted for something kinda futuristic after seeing a moc for a chair that could raise the occupant into a standing position and looked something like a segue. So, we’ve got it doing both. I snipped a few images from the inked pages to show you. I’m going to pretend in my head that the brace is more comfortable than it looks in the moc or on the page, though it’s probably inappropriate for the character’s condition (painful injury, not paralysis). As first attempts go, I think…it looks good, doesn’t make a ton of sense for the reason I just supplied, and she’ll probably have something more sensible the next time she appears. It’s future-y, though? So, check box? Ish?https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/996995f49f01a2ee651eceadaa840af8cefb9471ad01001ca5ef51d9567955e2.png
Very cool! I’ve never tried one of those standing chairs, I had a friend who was a chef who used one, so I can’t speak to comfort though. This does look like it would be uncomfortable, especially on the boobies. :) I think something most of them have is the arm rests that go up with you.
Aaand that’s why it’s a good idea to ask questions. I hadn’t even thought any boob-related thoughts, I was just imagining that it looked rib-crushy.
I have to imagine, as a chef, you’d be up and mobile for a solid block of time, so it would have to be comfortable enough that you didn’t want to go home and die? I would hope.
I love this character’s white outfit, though. And the gold…the whole thing is just superb. I love being a fan at the same time I’m working on it. And the character’s likeness was a birthday present for an Internet buddy, so she’s quite pleased.
Yeah, that’s true. Without a ton of trunk strength you’ll slide down until the thing is basically supporting your whole weight. I remember I tried a standing body brace when I was a kid and the thing dug into my armpits.
: / Well, I’ll be fudging a few details, I guess.
Trust me, it’ll be far fewer than most. Every time I see Oracle in some ugly folding ‘chair it’s like https://ak-hdl.buzzfed.com/static/enhanced/webdr06/2013/4/22/19/anigif_enhanced-buzz-2942-1366673535-7.gif
X_x Yeah, I guess. I wasn’t thinking in the right direction…if I ever get deeper into her character, I’ll have to address it. I scrutinize my own continuity like a hawk.
That said, the new page went up! Look at them. *_* https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c4c3e96d67d1d6f4f08f9c126cf3f1cdb03b17b8c25402789a1e8af4c76ac10f.png
Awesome! That’s definitely cool and futuristic-looking! Tell the artist she did a good job!
I will!

Spider-man day!!!
Any one reading the DC Looney Tunes crossovers? (or any other comics you wanna discuss) I’ve only tried Batman/Elmer Fudd (loved) & The Suicide Squad/Banana Splits (Eh, decent?) crossovers. kinda curious about some of the others.
Wonder Woman/Tazmanian devil just seems.. odd. I mean, they all do, but.. more so
I read the WW/Taz and Lobo/Wile E.
I have mixed feelings about the whole exercise, but I’m not against it whatsoever. WW/Taz is ridiculous and geared for a younger audience. Lobo is something else, somewhere between the violent spectrum of early ’00 Lobo comics and the character’s animated portrayal.
I read the Jonah Hex/Yosamitie Sam crossover. Quite good.
I don’t always appear in photographs, but when I do I make the the front page of the July 3rd Chronicle Herald metro edition. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/fdea457e42ebadd86849b6678f9414d85342672affcd90d033a8b44fe782c80e.jpg
