As long as there is love, there will be grief. The grief of time passing, of life moving on half-finished, of empty spaces that were once bursting with the laughter and energy of people we loved.
As long as there is love there will be grief because grief is love's natural continuation.
It shows up in the aisles of stores we once frequented, in the half-finished bottle of wine we pour out, in the whiff of cologne we get two years after they've been gone.
Grief is a giant neon sign, protruding through everything, pointing everywhere, broadcasting loudly, "Love was here." In the finer print, quietly, "Love still is."

I know I try not to post non-art stuff on this blog but sometimes there are just some things I need everyone to see.
I know anyone who was following me when I used to do a lot of journey into mystery fanart probably knows this but for everyone who came in with my star wars fanart: this guy is my favorite marvel writer, and pretty much somewhere in the top 5 comic writers at any given point (lbr usually still my fav but I try to pretend not to be that kind of obsessed with his writing).
This is the kind of news that makes my week, and the stuff in these interviews has me about to lose it in nerd happiness, and I just want everyone else to be as fucking excited as I am.
As I was leaving my Brother’s wedding, the news broke at SDCC that I’d be writing the ongoing DARTH VADER book. Salvador Larroca draws, Adi Granov on the lovely cover above. In Canon, set between A NEW HOPE and EMPIRE.
(We did talk about maybe doing a live link up from the Wedding for the panel, but clearly midnight at a wedding in Scotland does involve the risk of a lot of men in kilts displaying their wares live to a horrified audience across the Pacific.)
Anyway - I got in last night, and tried to work out what to tweet about it. I ended up saying “So. As announced at SDCC, I’m doing a DARTH VADER book. What can I say? I fear it’s the mainstream comic book I was born to write.” Which still suspect sounds about right, y’know? I’ve been basically writing Villain books on the sly since I’ve been at Marvel. Time to really go for it.
Let’s pull a relatively restrained quote from the CBR interview which basically explains how the book operates…
So at the end of the first “Star Wars” film he’s the sole survivor of the greatest military disaster of all time. And more importantly he let the Rebels escape with the plans! He chose to let them escape with the plans. There are lots of people to blame for the Death Star. It’s not like it’s just Darth’s fault, but he certainly foots some of the blame.
Then the next time we see him in “Empire” he’s more powerful than ever. He treats people in “Empire” with more contempt than he treats them in “A New Hope.” So something happens between those two films. There is the question of what the destruction of the Death Star actually created. So this story is basically the fall and rise of Darth Vader and all the things that happen along the way. That’s why it interests me.
When I talk about this I tend to use the film “The Godfather” as a reference in terms of how it worked and that it featured a villain protagonist who we’re still interested in. The second reference I use is “House of Cards.” This is a man who is an incredibly powerful member of an organization and he feels he is being slighted. This is him choosing and being forced to do things he maybe wouldn’t have done originally and to rebuild and change his power situation.
Anyway - lots more interviews, and out next February.

And, yes, this is the one I left Iron Man to do. I think you’ll like it.
whether or not I will speak on the time we watched Rent in my high school english class is my decision. I have made the decision to tell the internet that this was a thing that happened
This is amazing
List of Things GCPD Officers Have Seen The Batfamily Doing
Author’s Note: I liked doing this one Tags: @etherealdemeter @darkfaethedestroyer @jason-todd-squad @angelgl16 @imjustnightwingingit @mellowstatesmanhandsempath @it-is-dana
ª Watched the Batfamily stand on top of the roof and do the YMCA while Batman arrested Two-Face but changed the letters from YMCA to GCPD.
ª Saw Batman chewing out Red Hood for tossing Robin down a laundry chute.
ª RH didn’t really listen.
ª He was still laughing at the way Robin screamed bloody-murder going down the chute.
ª Watched Red Robin yell Bazinga! before swan diving off a ledge.
ª Nightwing followed screaming something about forgetting his grapple.
ª Also saw RR buy five espressos the same night.
ª Followed by Nightwing chucking each of them into the bay as RR broke down in tears talking about exams to study for and cases to solve.
ª Walked into the evidence room to see Red Robin and Robin arguing about how to retrieve Batman’s electromagnetic gun without breaking the glass case, only for Red Hood to shove his fist into the glass and go, ‘Problem Solved.’
ª Heard ungodly curses from outside GCPD and walked outside to see the entire Batfamily playing a game of Mario Kart on the side of the wall.
ª Red Hood was blue shelled by Nightwing.
ª Twice.
ª Then he ran over banana peels left by Robin.
ª More curses followed.
ª When asked how they set it up, RR just said, ‘We plugged it into the second story outlet. Don’t worry, it isn’t wasting too much electricity.’
ª When asked what electricity it was wasting, he replied, ‘Just the juice used to power your break room.’
ª Mario Kart was shut down after that.
ª Watched Robin whack his head on the counter and scream a stream of cuss words.
ª They weren’t sure what language he was cussing in.
ª But they think it was Arabic.
ª Nightwing happened to walk in and ask, ‘What happened?”
ª Robin looked up and screeched, ‘I whacked my fucking head! What does it look like?!’
ª Saw RR walk into GCPD, ask for Gordon, then faceplant into the ground and take a nap.
ª Red Hood was beside him when it happened.
ª When asked if they should help RR, he just waved them off and said, ‘He’ll be fine…I think.’
ª Observed Nightwing flirting with a new officer only to be dragged off by Batman muttering something about ‘Patrol now, flirt later’.
ª Nightwing came back ten minutes later and picked up the story he left on.
ª Opened one of the lockers and watched RR trip out saying, ‘Oh thank god. It was getting hot in there.’
ª When asked what he was doing in there, he simply replied, ‘I was betrayed by my brother…and now I’m going to strangle him.’
ª They assumed it was Robin who locked him in.
ª It was.
ª Watched Batman die a little inside when Robin asked how to use a rotary phone.
ª Then he held up a floppy disk and asked what it was.
ª Batman had to sit down and hold his head for ten straight minutes.
ª When they asked if he was okay, he said, ‘I’m trying to figure out how I got so old all of the sudden.’
ª Saw Red Hood riding down the street blasting, ‘Highway To Hell’ from the Batmobile.
ª Batman was seen following him yelling, ‘PULL OVER!’
ª Red Hood didn’t listen.
ª He then cranked ‘Stacy’s Mom’.
ª The next night, RR and RH were blasting Twenty One Pilots from the Batplane.
ª It’s safe to say, they were banned from the Batplane and Batmobile for a while.
ª And the best one yet, watching the Batfamily, save Batman, do a full rendition of Michael Bolton’s ‘Lean On Me’.
ª It went on YouTube and was seen at least a million times.
ª Half of the officers at GCPD made it their ringtone.
ª They planned to sing something else, but Batman said no.
ª It didn’t last long.
ª The Batfamily sang ‘I Want It That Way’ next.
ª They watched Batman groan and wish he’d never had kids.
Who up having dead thing summer???
this is innocuous until you remember that sirius probably reread this at some point during ootp, that while he was under house arrest he probably came across this reminder that james had been dealing with the same circumstance: locked up away from the fight.
brave loud brilliant beautiful james, who snuck out as prongs when he could and who waited to see sirius again, maybe running under the moon again.
reading this it’s clear that the one person who would have understood sirius in ootp was james. the one who always, unfailingly, eternally understood sirius was james potter – and he was gone except for memories and photographs and faded ink.

bpd things
money? yeah, you’re gonna spend it all on useless things like excessive amounts of food and clothes in hope of making yourself feel better. then you’ll regret it five minutes later
you hate yet love everyone and everything. hate. love. hate. love. it’s a never ending, exhausting cycle of intense emotions. there’s no in between
someone doesn’t respond to your message in ten minutes? it’s time to make dramatic assumptions. do they suddenly hate you? are they dead?
you’re slightly inconvenienced? it’s time to commit suicide
all your relationships fail and you just can’t seem to figure out why
you feel like everyone is the same. you see the same pattern over and over again in your relationships and your friends
you feel happy for once? well guess what, in about seven minutes you’ll feel like throwing yourself into traffic because Johnny didn’t want to share his pencil with you
nothing is worse than the overbearing feeling of emptiness that follows you daily and haunts you like a ghost
you’re constantly angry. just the idea of someone breathing in your vicinity is infuriating
baths? did you mean: self-harm hours?
everyone is against you including yourself
who is that in the mirror? is that me? Why do I look like that? I can’t recognize myself
i’m sorry, what did you say? repeat yourself again. and again. sorry, i didn’t hear you. again. repeat yourself for the fifth time, i wasn’t paying attention i guess
you’re useless unless you’re perfect
therapy? no
oh, is that a character I relate to? let me obsess over them for the next nine months
you’re the most evil and horrible person you know, yet simultaneously the most pure and naïve person you know
you feel like the devil when you say no to someone
how about I split on my best friend for the eighth time today for absolutely no reason!
am I abusive? am I like my abusers?
they said something that seemed weird to me… are they going to leave me? Is this the end? Is this all there is? Should I leave them? Maybe I’ll just disappear
you hardly remember anything from before the age of 10
nothing is real. we’re all going to die. nothing matters.
maybe if I get high I won’t overthink everything!
feel free to unfollow if you:
don’t like me
liked me at one point, but don’t like me anymore
hate what i post
hate what i have to say about xyz topic
find me annoying
don’t have anything in common with me anymore, and are bored by the things i post
feel obligated by whatever personal reason you may have to keep following me, even if literally any of those above things apply
this applies to mutuals as well. your dash should be your happy place, so no hard feelings and i wish you the best in life
"I can't believe my 50-year-old parent accidentally saw a weird meme on google image search" okay your 50-year-old parent used to get stoned in their dorm and watch ren & stimpy. your 50-year-old parent's first concert was the pogues and shane mcgowan threw up on their shoes in the alley after the show. your 50-year-old parent saw a double feature of porky's and the exorcist at a sleepover when they were nine. your 50-year-old parent was left alone for three hours every day after school and they found ALL the porn hidden in the house. one saturday in 1985 your 50-year-old parent drank water from the hose and then saw a dead body in the woods
