    Tradition

    This one's particular poignant. Singing this on January 1 is a twelve year tradition at this point.

    So fun facts
    1) Did you know you don't have to be epileptic to have seizures?
    2) and if you have a seizure lasting longer than five minutes you just straight out have a 20% chance of dying in the next thirty days, apparently

    Two Martyrs Fall for Each Other

    Here’s where I talk about this new story, 40,000 words long and written in just over a week. This is in no way to say it’s rushed, quite the opposite; It wouldn’t have been possible if I wasn’t so excited to put it out. I would consider A Complete Lack of Jealousy from All Involved a prologue more than a prequel, and suggested but not necessary reading.

    Commissions Open: An Autobiography

    Commission rates $20USD per 1,000 words. Story ideas expected between 4K-20K preferable. Just as a heads up, I’m trying to put as much of my focus as I can into original work for publication, so I might close slots quickly or be selective with the ideas I take. Does not have to be pony, but obviously I’m going to be better or more interested in either original fiction or franchises I’m familiar

    My brain diagnosis ended up way funnier than "We'll name it after you". It turned out to be "We know this is theoretically possible because there was a recorded case of it happening once in 2003". It turns out that if you have bipolar disorder and ADHD and PTSD and a traumatic brain injury, you get sick in a way that should only be possible for people who have no

    I planned on making it this year but then ran into an unfortunate case of the kill-me-deads. In the moment I needed to make a call whether to cancel or not, and I knew I was dying from something but didn't know if it was going to be an easy treatment or not.

Wholesome Rage: Daredevil's Virtues are Flawed Writing · 8:16am Jan 30th, 2019

Here we go.

As an extra note: Someone really needs to write a Punisher storyline around the framework of a slasher movie, only quirky criminals instead of sexy teenagers, and play Punisher as the villain.

Might do that at some point.

The Punisher is only more effective than Daredevil in a super grounded setting. In the comics his impact on crime is exactly the same as every other super hero.

I feel like that comes down to the same flaw in "Who would win in a fight between X and Y" - whoever the writer decides. When directly compared, it's usually noted Punisher is: At least, Daredevil S2 puts it that way.

A really great article. (Spoilers for the Netflix Daredevil and Punisher series) The Season 3 Finale, where Daredevil doesn't commit murder but covers up the serious crimes of Kingpin's wife as part of extorting the Kingpin, seemed to me like such a week ending because if you're going to commit those felonies anyway, why not just kill the Kingpin?

I also generally agree with you assessment of the Punisher, though it always bothered me how they made it in the Netflix series so he has zero collateral damage. Guy fires off a shotgun through the roof in a hospital, I don't care how much a world class marksman he is, he's going to kill some innocent people.
