Sunnydale’s Finest, Part One

by windiebird

Willow Rosenberg

So who is that smokin’ hot mama you see before you?  The most scrumptious scooby, the most sapphic of Sunnydale’s students?

If you didn’t instantly recognize Willow Rosenberg then you need an emergency re-education!

This fiery redhead began her high school career as a shy yet studious bookworm.  An apt student in any field, she was always safely outcast with the nerds and the dweebs.

Until one fateful day when Buffy Summers entered the scene and changed Sunnydale forever!

( And with that much dye in their hair, who ISN’T going to change Sunnydale forever?  I mean, judging from the amount of showers Buffy had to have taken during the show, I’m surprised the water supply isn’t completely yellow by the end of season one.)

Willow became a part of the gang, fighting the forces of darkness alongside Buffy, Xander, Giles and a host of supporting characters.

Along the way, our heroine discovers the only werewolf with a band, a penchant for magick (both dark & light) and a beautiful les-beam named Tara Maclay.  She continues to have girlfriends (some girl named Kennedy, whatever) and her study of magick never ceases but her time with Tara truly rocked the world (and my heartstrings).

Season Eight Willow

You could argue that the Wicca shown in popular culture (I’m looking at you Charmed) does much to harm general perceptions of neo-pagan religions; giving untrue expectations of magick and nature-based religion probably ends up hurting the pagan cause more than helping.

But really, fuck that noise.  A good TV show is hard to find!  And who doesn’t totally crap their pants when Willow FLAYS A MAN ALIVE in ‘Villains’?!  And using magick as a metaphor for substance abuse?  Mr. Whedon, I love your brain.

There’s no use arguing with me about the greatest character of all time.  Sherlock Holmes?  Yawn, where’s the lesbian sex?  Captain Nemo?  PUH-lease.  No one does revenge like Willow.

Batman?  Superman?  Ms. Rosenberg could beat them with both hands tied behind her back AND a smile on her face!

From the scared young girl we first meet in ‘Welcome to the Hellmouth’ to the powerful and steady woman in the Buffy Season Eight comics, there’s just no denying that Willow Rosenberg is the ultimate power behind the Slayer throne.

And who else could rock a Ren Faire dress in the middle of a Californian summer?!

More than Bats in HER belfry (whiink)

by mutantaday

I love D.C. don’t get me wrong but they do not have very many high profile gay characters.

This Female Crimefighter is a triple threat.

1. She’s a Red Head, POW!

2. She’s Jewish, OY ZING!

3. She’s a lesbian, SMACK!

The original Batwoman was created as a love interest for Batman to knock down the allegations that Batman and Robin were fucking gay.  She constantly had to be rescued by Batman and her weapons were disguised as cosmetics dildos and jewelry. This character was later killed off in Detective Comics #485 and her existance is erased due to the first crisis.

Katherine (Kate) Kane comes from as wealthy and prestigious a family as Bruce Wayne and whatever he does not own the Kane family does.  She is a lipstick-ish lesbian and made her first appearance in the pages of the mini series 52.  She not only keeps her identity a secret but her non stop pussy pounding sexuality a secret as well. YEOWWZA!

Batwoman operated as Gotham’s protector while Batman, Robin and Nightwing were MIA (no, not the singer) after the most recent crisis.  In 52 you learn that she has an on-and-off-again realtionship with the kick-ass cop Detective Montoya ( y’all might remember her from the animated series). She “assisted” Montoya in solving a mystery involving the use of one of the Kane family’s warehouses.  Montoya is not the only one that favors Kate, Nightwing has a crush on her as well and even welcomes her into the bat family by giving her an official orgaszm batarang.  You can currently see her in Final Crisis: Revelations #3.

I think Batwoman is a great representation for the GLBT community.  I hope that eventually she gets her own series, that would be a huge break through for D.C.!!!  I give D.C. props for giving some diversity to their comics but I’m still waiting for a high profile gay male character! All the gay men are minor side characters or lesser known villians.

Check the photos if you’re not on the up-and-up with Batwoman! Enjoy!

Revelations: Book 5 of 5

by mutantaday

Last week the 5th & final book of Angel:Revelations came out of the closet!  The ending to Warren Worthington III’s school days with lots o’ drama. MAJOR SPOILER ALERT!

So post creepy-man-baddy-using-the-little-girl-with-mutant-finding-abilities-to-find-Warren’s-school, Warren got rid of the ‘touch-my-no-no-zone’ Priest there by saving resident underdog homo and BFF Andrew from any further abuse!

After Warren’s Angelic Avenging, it was time for a stand off with THE CRAZY BIBLE THUMPING, no doubt republican/McCain/Pailin/Bush supporting GUN WIELDING guy!  During break, (and since Warren, Andrew, ‘The Jock’ and Warren’s Ex-Gf are still there) a fire breaks out and it is up to Warren to save everyone from the fire and from the hell storm that the crazy guy is bringing. He flies up and grabs his gun, which he (in true red neck fashion) does not let go of until-YOU GUESSED IT-he is 100s of feet above the ground. So he falls to his doom.

DESERVES IT! (but Warren felt bad)

So, of course he saves everyone also giving away his secret mutation (wings, not just a TV show) and we are left with a stronger more focused Warren who sets out to be a true hero!

As far as individual series go for the X-Men (Gambit, Storm, Bishop etc.) Angel has FIVE STAR-ed its way into my heart.

I decided to include pics (it would be a crime not to!) of Ben Foster, who starred as Angel in the X-Men movies.  Now, being a fan of Foster from wayyyy back (Flash Forward! Hello, Jewel Staite. Look for an entry on her time on FireFly soon!) I wasn’t too sure about him as Angel. After seeing the movie, I think he really embodied the mentality of the character.

Enjoy!

Iceman & Jimmy…Happy Birthday!

by mutantaday


So yesterday, thanks to the comic world’s cutest twins, Aaron & Shawn Ashmore, was the merging of the DC and Marvel Universe INTO ONE BLOG!!! Why, you ask? It’s because yesterday was their birthday! (they are 21 29)

Aaron, Smallville’s Jimmy Olsen & Shawn, X-Men’s Bobby Drake (a.k.a. Iceman) are two Canadians that add so much to the live-action versions of their print counterparts.  I’d say (and I think many would agree) that in a world where Bryan Singer casts Halle Berry as Storm, someone else would take the lead (um, whoever that may have been) and cast Shawn as Iceman, which is more than a perfect fit!

So this Happy Belated Birthday goes out to Shawn & Aaron. Enjoy the pics!

The Scarlet Witch a.k.a crazy heifer!!!

by mutantaday

This is what I’m going to call a “Pre-Blog” Blog as I am Starvation Station Rythm Nation and need food, for reals so let me just say for now I’m not happy with Wanda AT ALL!…The ONLY acceptable Wanda is a funny lesbian lady named ♥Wanda Sykes…Ms. Sykes if ya nasty.

The Scarlet "Crazy Ass" Witch

The Scarlet "Crazy-Ass" Witch

If you know of any other acceptable Wandas, AND NO FISHES ALLOWED, let me know.

ALSO, I’m trying out different font colors to see how it looks on the site. Maybe I’ll start matching up the color with the characters(?) Perhaps.

More to come∞

We’re Back! That cheeseburger hit the spot! And with that here’s my beef with The Witch. Because of her insanity after losing her children she essentially starts going insane, eventually warping reality to try and bring them back.

Because of events involving everyone trying to kill her crazy ass and Magneto killing Quicksilver [being crushed by a sentinel and then Wanda bringing him back], she finally loses her shit and says “No more Mutants”.

So she wished away the X-gene and the mutations that gave mutants their powers.  This effected like 98% of the mutant population and only around 200 were left intact. Some mutants died, some mutants were left powerless. It was all a big mess and still is. Of course this is all happening in the UNCANNY X-MEN storyline. Quicksilver is alive but powerless and now the X-Men as well as many other mutants have regrouped in San Fransico.

Now I’m not going to be a TOTAL negative nancy about it all but COME on! Someone should have cut that bitch a LONG TIME AGO. She’s worthless. Even in the vid-jo games! X-men Legends 1 and 2. I just see no point. She’s another W-O-T, Waste O’ Time!
