ACTUAL MESSAGE OF (500) DAYS OF SUMMER THAT NO ONE ACTUALLY REALIZES
She’s the choragus.
She delivers the actual message of the work, and the rest of work is just aesthetic interference to slip it past your frontbrain.
That’s why choragai are often people the target audience have been trained to ignore and discredit.
It’s the Fourth of May, the Fourth of May

Something about playing capoeira in the sun is both 500% more awesome and 1000% more exhausting than playing indoors.
I wish I’d gotten some shots of the folks watching, there was one guy eating a bag of pretzels like it was popcorn and he was watching an action movie.
After this I accidentally joined a samba band.
I’ve been starting at this for five minutes and I can’t decide if it’s cute or terrifying.

oh man, is that Telengard? Telengard was awesome.

Would’ve been fun.
Actually, figure it’s way past time I told you what the plan was, right?
The idea for the story was pretty simple: Kara learns how to be a leader. She had, to that point, been almost exclusively used as either a solo character, or in a supporting role on a team. I felt like someone wearing that ‘S’ on their chest would find people looking to them for answers when things got bad.
The villain was intended to be the Luthor-Brainiac hybrid clone that Geoff Johns seeded in Adventure Comics. That scene in the one issue I did half of, with Lois running into the Planet offices, the original line was “Who here knew Lex Luthor had a son?”
The original hope had been to use Aqualad here, too.
The story beats that really stand out, to me:
I know I wanted to have a scene where the fight gets really hectic, and Impulse runs away, with Kara really calmly and sympathetically talking to her about it, just the two of them, in the aftermath. That was supposed to be the big moment that Kara comes into her own.
The entire team (except for Kara) were gonna get captured, and Kara would go to Superman, Batman, & Wonder Woman for advice— and from there, putting together ANOTHER team to rescue them (I forget who all was on that one- Black Alice, Klarion, Shining Knight, Arrowette, I think).
The whole thing would climax at the launch party for the Flyover app, and the last scene was Impulse pulling Damian onto the dancefloor.
My secret hope was that the whole thing could work as a back-door pilot of sorts for a new Young Justice series.
That obviously didn’t happen :)
This is the cutest thing I’ve seen this entire year, and I follow fat-birds, so that’s saying a lot.
I want a portal to this AU.
Ok, my blog definitely needs some black robins today.
Uhhh, so black robins have basically the best conservation story ever. In 1980 there were only five of these birds left, with only one fertile female. That’s the little lady in the bottom picture, Old Blue. …Who I have a tattoo of… because of reasons. The following reasons, as a matter of fact.
Anyway, so this guy named Don Merton who is basically my hero stepped in when everyone else threw in the towel, and he was like, “Well let’s try something.” And they tried something, and it worked. Now there’s a population of a couple of hundred of them, and since they live exclusively on these tiny islands off New Zealand, that’s a fairly decent population.
When every environmental story I see is bad, I try to think of black robins, because maybe we can’t save everything, but we can at least try.
