Jughead: The Hunger # 12

Jelly Bean is having a slumber party and wow look at the scary show they're watching. 😆 🙌 💜

Love it.

Ooh, responding to this thing on birdsite I just heard about.

My #ComicsDNA

I love these books so much.

My Jughead costume! Featuring a hat I made myself out of felt, sewing for the first time in years. And cool pins for my vest.

Clearly (to me at least) *mostly* comics-Jughead, but the Serpents pin kinda makes it Riverdale-ish.

Best comments I got on it:
"Who are you supposed to be?" x3

"You should have gotten the beanie like he has in the show."

"So what are you? Just, like, punk rock?" (omg seriously 🙏 💜 😆)

"Nice Jughead cosplay. Ooh, asexual pin! Me too!"

My next favorite is probably Squirrel Girl's, though it barely qualifies. Also I'm not sure which one should count as the costume. Because, like, she lives her daily life in a costume (with her tail hidden away under her clothes) but then is her actual natural self when superheroing *but* adds a squirrel ear headband. She's literally always in costume! Very minimal not-at-all-a-disguise costumes, but still!

I recently picked up the Marvel Rising doll of her and mixed the two.

Juuuust about finished with my Halloween costume. Gonna be Jughead from the comics reboot. With some Riverdale influences (a Serpents pin 😆).

Pretty happy with how they turned out, given I have very little experience or skill for crafts.

Last step is to find a beanie or similar I can wear under the crown. Making a hat out of felt didn't work out so well for me.

Quentin Quire is such a treasure.

Also I 100% believe that even though these *look* like he could easily make them himself with a sharpie, he instead paid a big fancy designer way too much money to do it for him.

I love him so much.

My parents came to visit me today and wanted to go to the zoo. We saw a mastodon and a hippo.

I think someone who works at this zoo is one of us. 😆

Omg.

(Img desc: comic on hoopla. Summary: "After being bitten by a strange girl, Renee has been changing. So she summons the Moonlighters to solve her werewolf problem. But she finds out 1) they help monsters, not gone then and 2) The Moonlighters are a team of werewolves themselves!")

Must read. Must read now.

14 - The last book(s) you loaned out

Awhile back one of my friends mentioned she was interested in comics but didn't know where to start. So I said I could lend her some, went a little overboard, and took a pic because I knew I'd forget which ones I loaned her.

So, this is my comics starter set, basically.

Minus the Batman one, which is actually my partner's and only there because she'd already read vol 1 and liked it. *shrug* No accounting for taste.

One of the books I picked up was "Why I Left, Why I stayed: Conversations on Christianity Between an Evangelical Father and His Humanist Son."

The chapter titles are fantastic. XD I haven't even started the book yet really and so far it's like 90% them snarking at each other. (In a good-natured way, I'm sure.)

6 - Last book that made you LOL

The Wicked and the Divine, issue 8.

Oh, Cassie.

1 - Your first favorite book

So, the first book I really remember loving a lot...I don't actually know the name of. My sister threw it out the window of a car when we were fighting and I've never been able to find it again.

The next would be "Sweet Valley Kids #35 - Left Back." I still have this book, and it started off a love of Sweet Valley that lasted a loooooong time. TBH I still re-read them sometimes, including this one. It holds up.

July book posts!

It's not great-looking, but I had fun.

Join me if you want. :)

I know I've already said I would go to Ragnarok, I just really feel the need to reiterate that. XD

Just, look at this map key. Look at it. It's a thing of beauty.

These restaurants! Bap-O-Meat. Amateragu Italian. INANNA AND OUT BURGERS.

I just. I can't even.

Comic, I love you.

More serious comments later probably.

Sigh. Mark Waid is *so* so gross.

His dialogue is also pretty terrible, but I've been liking so much of the new Archie stuff I decided to give this series another chance.

Oh boy.

So, he's gotten *less* bad about most of the teen talk, but I do not get this thing he's doing with Veronica. It's weird.

But tiny skinny Betty wishing sure could take up less space? Mark, please go directly to hell. #ArchieComics

Making emojis is hard. :D

I thought these cute little superhero log "non-compliant" things I made as tattoo designs awhile ago would make good ones, but they're too tiny to see.

So I'll just share them here instead.

Also, pride flags added finally. Any others you want me to prioritize, let me know.

About to start reading issue 2 for this week, just noticed the sticker on the front of the bag. :D

I bought these online quite awhile ago and guess I never paid attention to the store name. That's awesome.

Tonight's reading list:

I went to a toy museum last summer and there were a bunch of old wind-up toys.

I took *way more* pics than this, but apparently I must have deleted them for space at some point.

Anyway, these have been on my mind since I read the story and I figured I'd share.
