Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday
Aug. 19th, 2025 08:52 amicon_uk in scans_dailyTalk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.
The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.
Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.
It's been suggested that, if discussing spoilers for recent media events, it might be advisable to consider using the rot13 method to prevent other members seeing spoilers in passing.
The world situation is the world situation. If you're following the news, you know it as much as I do, if you're not, then there are better sources than scans_daily. But please, no doomscrolling, for your own sake.
A commentator on the radio this morning described the current state of "peace negotations" as being what happens when people used to real estate deals try to handle international diplomacy and that's going to be stuck in my head for a while, as is the sight of so many Europran leaders
We may never have obeyed "Kneel before Zod!", but we I think we can proffer at least a small bow to honour the passing of Terence Stamp, to many, THE General Zod.
To the mild consternation of the usual suspects, casting news from the Masters of the Universe movie is that Kristen Wiig has been cast as Roboto
The most recent Star Trek: Strange New Worlds had a delightful, and unexpected, guest star making a blink and you'll miss it cameo.!
The gay agenda rears it's head again, this time via a fabulous method of tracking water voles

3 DC Universe Ficlets
Aug. 17th, 2025 06:22 pmsenmutChapters: 1/1
Fandom: Smallville
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Lex Luthor
Additional Tags: Drabble, Introspection
Summary:
Lex's world is not peaceful
Peace, After Knowing
There's solace in not knowing, they say. There's peace in shutting your eyes, turning away.
They're all wrong.
Lex hasn't had a moment of peace since the meteor. Not from his father, not from life, and not from him.
That day, when Clark Kent crossed his path and saved his life, has only amplified the chaos inside of Lex. He aches to find the truth, to see what was hidden, to hold that knowledge as his own.
Clark is his keystone, could be a foundation to lay his peace on, if he can ever decipher the clues.
He'll keep trying.

Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Clark Kent
Additional Tags: Drabble, Introspection, +Modern Age (1986-Present)
Summary:
Clark has a way to deal with his choices
Up Above
There are nights when Clark just hovers, high enough up to be unseen, eyes sweeping over the city beneath him. It's a way of choosing solace without going so far away as to risk losing precious time to help others. He can still listen, still see, if he chooses to.
The peace of the cool air, the muting of other distractions — all of it allows him to settle his choices into place. He is only one man, and choices have to be made. He makes peace with where he could not be, then returns to his home.
He keeps choosing.
Helpers of Hope (100 words) by Sharpest_Asp
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Batman (Franchise)
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Bruce Wayne
Additional Tags: Drabble, Introspection
Summary:
Bruce reflects on what fans his hope.
Helpers of Hope
A wise man had once said 'look for the helpers'. Bruce has been doing it since before his parents were killed. Maybe it's because they both gave as much of themselves to others as they did to him. Maybe it's Alfred's teaching and example.
Maybe, it's because the ones that reach out and help give him hope.
He goes out, he stops what he can of the relentless tide of corruption and danger for his city's people.
In turn, they reach out to one another, make different choices, raise each other up.
It's enough to make him try even harder.
The Graphic Canon of Crime and Mystery has a Psycho excerpt.
Aug. 17th, 2025 12:08 pmthanekos in scans_dailyThe Psycho excerpt's from the second one - it's not from Alfred Hitchcock's movie, but Robert Bloch's original novel. The woman who shows up at Norman Bates' motel is Mary Crane, and the physical part of Norman's deceptive mildness doesn't come from looking like a 28-year old Anthony Perkins.
The excerpt starts where the book does - Norman reading.
