Andor Appreciation Day 2 - Everyone Has Their Own Rebellion

Ok but Tumblr keeps putting stuff from this fandom on my Dash for no reason and this was so GOOD that I literally just threw up my hands went 'dammit fine, this will clearly be my jam!" and ordered the dang book. I hope you're happy you have ensnared a soul, this will probably hurt so much more to watch once I have a hint of context.

Please, Shizun

Just got mine, so very worth the wait!

the real reason why some Watson's Sketchbook orders have been delayed...

just kidding, it's because my printer is taking a really long time and sending them in batches - but orders are continuing to go out and I hope to get everything fulfilled by the end of March. When your order ships, you will get a shipping confirmation email. Thank you for your patience!

For the webcomic - I needed to take some time off to thumbnail a new graphic novel that needs all my attention, but I'm close to finishing that and am SO excited to return to regular Watson's Sketchbook updates! Can't give an exact date but I just wanted to assure everyone that I have not vanished!

The Riddler one actually happened! Eddie was in a race w/Batman to solve this case, would only get paid if he solved it first. Then he did, and gloated all the way to the bank...and the name on the check was Bruce Wayne. We just cut to a grinning Batman, he gives a speech about 'keeping a mouser well-fed' it was great.

I know the popular take is Batman's rogues getting their butts handed to them by Bruce Wayne, and I'm not belittling that, because that's really funny for all stated reasons?

But how about a new take: most of Batman's rogues call him off limits, because they find out he is their benefactor, when/if they try to reform?

Mr Freeze won't touch him because when he's in Arkham, Bruce is the one who finances the research to help Nora Fries.

Poison Ivy won't touch him because he had been the one supplying her with plants, while in prison.

Harley won't touch him because he's just a great guy an' gotham needs guys like that.

Riddler won't touch him because he was the secret backer that time Eddie tried to open a detective agency.

Croc won't touch him because he's one of the few people who ever talks to him like a person.

Deadshot refuses any hits on him because he found out Wayne does a lot of secret work for people down on their luck who made bad mistakes.

I have no idea how, but this artist has created a picture that looks more like Dick Grayson and Damian Wayne than any comic panel. I'm almost totally face blind and tell the bats apart mostly by context and memorizing costumes, and YET. As soon as I saw this picture I knew which Batman and Robin it was meant to depict. Excellent use of body language personality cues, truly surreal experience, 10/10 would startle in consternation like a newly-awoken cat again.

🌻 comm for gee! thank you 💖

Seriously tho, WHAT is that hairstyle? Bright red cornrows with the world's sharpest widow's peak?!

It's got to be like a jughead's hat situation where it's an abstract representation of a known real-world thing, and the real world thing is no longer ubiquitous enough to be instantly recognizable, but damned if I can come up with the explanation.

Norman could be such a good man if only he allowed himself to be. Amazing Spiderman 47

Harry: And why shouldn’t I blame Spiderman for your injuries?? He calls himself a hero, protecting civilians like you should be his priority! Give me one good reason why I shouldn’t kick his ass for letting you get hurt!!

Peter: Because-

Newscaster on the tv next to Harry: In this footage you can see Peter Parker, known freelance photographer for the Daily Bugle, actually shove Dr. Doom out of his way while yelling “move it or lose it,” as he runs with his camera, presumably to capture more pictures of the vigilante known as “Spiderman”

Harry:

Peter: -I’m a dumbass.

Richard Scary's Couscous, the Algerian Detective. My Dad read it to me and my brother and always did the funny voices. Little did we know he was setting us up to share his love of noir mysteries.

Time for a new poll! I'm curious to see the spread of answers on this one (and hear any other series not on the list.) Tried to go for a range of older and newer series on here, more on the older end of the spectrum, but I can't cover everything with the limited poll options here, so I hope you'll share your answers! :)

Please reblog for a larger sample size, thank you!

calmest peter parker evening (he dealt with everything before this dw)

That's a real Watson Vibe, alright

Also I found this picture of Watson (Edward Hardwicke) holding a gun like that with that look on his face and it is one of the most perfect Doctor Watson images ever produced.

He looks like Sherlock Holmes either asked to borrow the gun, or just handed it to him and hasn't acknowledged that it's a loaded gun.

That's crazy, you have this person who is basically family, and there's no indication of that when you talk to or about them? I didn't even know that was not a thing for some people, let alone that it was a race thing. Granted I'm white so I can't speak to non-white POVs but if you'd asked me 5 minutes ago I would have told you that Auntie/Uncle FamilyFriend was universal.

Seeing white people in fiction call friends of their parents "Uncle/Aunt ___" wigs me out because I have never done that a day in my life and I don't know any other white people who do that. We don't even do this with my sister's godparents. They're just like, George and Melanie. An adult friend of your parents is either Mx. Lastname or their first name exclusively, there is no other option for me.
