Not a weird question at all! Here’s a quick rundown of the prominent ones (ie; characters with arcs and even series of their own) I am aware of!
The Old DCU
Batwoman and Renee Montoya had fairly frequent story lines together as ~tempestuous~ ex-lovers during the post-Infinite Crisis period. They most notably featured in the latter...

By linking the keyboard to the right programs they create things like a banana piano, playdough Mario, tubs of water as Dance Dance revolution pad, and people as synthesiser]

basically I’m looking into the ways queer and feminist spaces are/have been unwelcoming and sometimes even hostile towards POCs, but my experience is a very limited one since I’ve made a point of seeking out places I know for a fact are welcoming and do their damndest not to be racist. (I say ‘places’ when what I mean is I exist only within Lashings...

that said, i do think it’s possible to create a theory of sex-negativity that is separate from radical feminism. one isn’t necessarily required for the other. with the caveat that i haven’t actually read much sex negative writing yet, so i might be totally off base. but it’s definitely something i want to explore further. i’m sorry that it’s skeevy for you. :(
Quite possibly. And I think...

Back at the end of March, I decided to try a little stats experiment - I wanted to compare hits and feedback on stories posted on AO3 versus ff.net. So, I took note of the hit counts, comments/reviews, and kudos numbers on 9 of my one-shot Dragon Age stories posted on both sites,…

[Analogue: a Hate Story, with a clock and a Korean phonetic spelling of “analogue”]
Back in the 25th century, Earth launched a generation ship into deep space, with the goal of establishing the first interstellar colony. It dropped out of contact and disappeared, never reaching its destination.
Thousands of years later, it has finally been found.

No one now seemed to pay any attention to the strangers, so Dorothy and Zeb and the Wizard let the train pass on and then wandered by themselves into the vegetable gardens. They did not bother to cross the bridges over the brooks, but when they came to a stream they stepped high and walked in the air to the other side. This was a very interesting experience to them, and Dorothy...

“The meaning of life is 42.”
NO IT IS NOT
42 is just the Ultimate Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything.
The Question that goes with it is “What do you get if you multiply six by nine?”
SO THE WHOLE JOKE IS
“What do you get if you multiply six by nine?” “42.”
THERE YOU GO. THAT IS HOW YOU DO IT.

Is nug meat kosher?
I’m not Jewish, but from what I can tell definitely not: it’s feet aren’t cloven (and it probably doesn’t chew it’s cud, but who knows) Nugs are like a cross between a rabbit and a mole, neither of which are kosher.
Halla probably are. But I’m not sure the Dalish would be ok with anyone eating them!

dredsina:
[From DaniDraws.com]
One of the biggest challenges a beginning painter will face is learning to paint flesh tones. The skin is highly complex, made up of varying colors and textures; if you get one thing wrong, you could end up with some pretty scary results.
Here’s a few simple tips to help you conquer this problem.

fistfuls of honey: Webcomicking Advice →

I get a lot of people asking me for advice, online and offline, about how to go about starting a comic—especially a webcomic. Over many rehashings of the same key points, I have finally condensed my advice to ten points:
Just do it.
No, really. Just do it.

… So I want to end by talking about a vision and a context for lesbian sexuality. For those who want how-to-do-it guidelines, this ending will be a great disappointment. I want to suggest what sexuality might look like rooted in lesbian imagination, not in the hetero-fantasies of lesbian pornography. This is a vision, a context, an end note that is really a beginning....

“People get really irritated by mental illness. ‘Just fucking get it together!...”
– Maria Bamford (via yeshairy)
people don’t talk about mental illness the way they do other regular illnesses.
Ok, I in no way want to minimise the toxic attitudes society takes towards mental illness, but: Yes they do. I have literally heard people say that you can get over myopia and cancer...
