Angela and Sera

Posted this on my super secret X account so watermark is different, but I genuinely cried when I saw that there was an actual swimsuit cover for Angela and Sera so I made my own!

Throwback to when Wiccan and Hulkling's creators "cameod" at their wedding

I always love this (trope?) in comics where when characters get married they have the creators at the wedding. Here it's Allan Heinberg and Jim Cheung! This is from Empyre.

The boys are finally together in my apartment!

Could have been sooner 2 years ago if McFarlane had decided to make Apollo figure… At least Funko Pop pays attention to both this time.

Are there any Trans X-Fans who felt drawn/connected to Husk?

So, obviously kind of random and may delete to be honest.

Over the years I have felt and heard from other trans fans of the X-Men and the characters they've connected to and even seen as trans (while not obviously canonically). Emma being a popular one which I have seen and felt on a personal level in terms of my relationship with femininity.

But, a character I haven't seen be brought up much; that I comeback to has been Husk. Now maybe is just a personal thing, like one aspect is her powers which I feel on a visceral level. Despite of or even because of how gross it is. Lol!

So, I thought I'd reach out here and get other people's opinions.

What are some dc comics them being queer actually adds to the plot?

Mainly looking for bi/lesbian women characters where them being queer isn’t just a background info? And has actual build up to maybe a romance?

DC getting backlash for queerbaiting with straight characters during pride

This isn't the first time DC has gotten backlash for using queerbait during pride month. A few years before they got backlash for putting Nightwing on several pride covers with the bisexual flag despite never confirming him as bisexual while canon bisexual characters like Wonder Woman and Cat Woman never got solo bisexual pride covers.

This post on instagram got backlash from fans for queerbaiting with straight characters who are currently married/in a relationship. Fans called them out for neglecting canon queer pairings like Midnighter and Apollo and canon queer characters like Wonder Woman while promoting straight people during pride as if they were a queer couple. Do you guys think the backlash is justified?

Finding unexpected rep

Are you ever watching/reading/playing something with superheroes when all of a sudden there’s queer representation that you had no idea was coming and actually isn’t that bad?

It’s a great feeling. I got to experience it today when reading a random-ass comic from almost a decade ago. A kid (!) main character is pretty openly transmasc, and this is accepted by the protagonist as soon as he realizes that the kid isn’t “girl pretending to be boy on streets” but “actually not girl at all”—which is only takes about a page. After that he’s an ally who doesn’t slip up on pronouns once. All this from a mainstream comics company in 2018! (And not one of their Pride specials, either.)

I’m familiar with a lot of queer characters from DC already (I’m a fan of Jericho, Alan Scott, Batwoman, Connor Hawke etc) but I’d never run into something like this. Trans characters are rare enough already even in fictional LGBTQ rep, trans men even more so, and a trans *minor*? Whose identity isn’t looked down upon because of his age? Awesome.

Have any of you ever had that happen? Came across a queer character that you weren’t expecting to be in that media, and were pleasantly surprised? I hope to have it happen again :)
