"Mark my words! This drill will open a hole in the universe. And that hole will become a path for those that follow after us. The dreams of those who have fallen. The hopes of those who will follow. Those two sets of dreams weave together into a double helix, drilling a path towards tomorrow. THAT's Tengen Toppa! THAT'S Gurren Lagann! MY DRILL IS THE DRILL THAT CREATES THE HEAVENS!" - The Digger
We walk on the path to Secher Nbiw. Though hard fought, we walk the Golden Path.
Now lets start speculating about sales, shall we? SSoK has already started to show the natural decline in sales endemic to all books. Will issue 5 see a spike in sales? No doubt, but issue 5 may be a statistical outlier like first issues are. Like some are already saying, on a macro-level, this is a gimmick more than anything else. I don't think Jon coming out will save or even help the book.
For when my rants on the forums just aren’t enough: https://thevindicativevordan.tumblr.com/
that's the problem I tend to have with "head canon" based shipping, and the tendency to react with a certain form of outrage if there's eventually a denial of a character being on the LGBTQ spectrum by a writer or editor.
some straight characters are just unlucky in love or just plain inactive. it doesn't automatically mean that they are deeply closeted somehow.
Jon's revelation, as a relatively new character, is just fine. But the sort of KAPOW-revelations of certain longtime characters leaves me scratching my head.
Saturn Girl was legit a kiss & something for Jon to talk about to daddy that's it we never even saw them break up that's how irrelevant she really was.
Tim & Steph are completely incomparable to the other 2, they have years of history decades even, Jon & ole girl was just something that hack Bendis threw in for shock factor & then used to throw shade at all the people who were still mad about what he did to Jon that's it then his shit got cancelled, now it may or may not be revived.
I genuinely don't think any 10 year old has even the slightest idea what true romantic love is Kathy was a playground crush at best.
