And for that brief moment, Dinah was the normal one.
What are you talking about? Dinah’s ALWAYS the normal one.
She is the standard upon which normality is based.
Precisely. WE are the weird ones. Why, I eat food that isn’t cereal nearly every day, even though cereal is clearly the best food!
I eat cereal nearly every day. I’m clearly exempt.
Isn’t it blessed that we live under Dina’s great light? Truly it is!
ALL HAIL DINA!
*nearly exempt
I like cereal.
I like potatoes.
This spud’s for you!
I like chocolate milk!
I like Pinkie Pie liking chocolate rain!
I like trains.
I like turtles.
I like my commercial.
I like pie.
I HAVE GINGIVITIS!!!!
I eat whatever the hell I feel like it. For instance, I eat burgers for breakfast this morning.
I guess you write in whatever tense you feel like as well.
I can work with this.
“Normal” in huge quotation marks. Derided or not, fanfic’s getting pretty damned mainstream.
I will have once been (POTENTIALLY) EXISTENT!
I think therefore unless the conditions around me change in any manner, I continue to think.
When you consider that 50 Shades of Grey is actually Twilight fanfiction, i think it’s safe to say it’s past the point of it becoming “mainstream”.
Well, we’ve all been there, right?
Nope, I can honestly say that I have never read any IM/CA slash.
I’ve been up until all hours of the morning reading Homestuck fanfiction.
So have I. Sigh.
There’s a reason I typically avoid the Homestuck fanfic.
Fuck, what have I unleashed?
A monster. You must either kill it or teach it how to love.
Fan Fiction Friday. I only read it in the two weeks that it was on io9, and it was horrendously glorious.
This is where I found the IM/CA feeder fic (that, let’s face it, is probably the one referenced here) with references to Steve’s necrophilia fetish.
Burn the Internet.
Why would that be the one mentioned here? There’s roughly five hundred kajillion IM/CA fanfics out there, most of which are “and they had impossibly good sex, the end”.
Agreed. Plus, I’ve read a lot (a lot) of Marvel fanfic, most of it IM/CA, and that description isn’t ringing any bells. So I’m going to go out on a limb and say it’s not one of the best known ones, io9 aside.
Not really, though I do stay up reading a KND fanfic.
I get to about 2am and then crash. All nighters me no can do.
Specifically Iron Man/Cap? No. Up all night looking up porn? Yes, I’d say any of us that are college age have done that.
How much IM/CA slash fiction is there, anyway? Or does Amber just read very slowly?
Lemme put it this way: there are official comics that heavily imply something is going on (see: the Tony’s Abusive Boyfriend Armor storyline).
The fanfiction flows like water.
I don’t think that’s water.
As hilarious as the whole Living Armor debacle was, I’m not sure it can top Red Zone or certain parts of Civil War for slash potential. Remember the time they were married in an alternate universe? Or the time Tony nearly killed himself giving Steve CPR? Yeeeeeah.
Heheheh. Steve and Tony were epic even pre-movie. It has only increased since then…
*grins* Not that I’m complaining.
‘Background Pony’ until 4 AM…
FLUTTERSHY!!!
Brain and body say otherwise.
I quite enjoy seeing these two interact
Her night out with Danny put her in the mood for gay porn?
He has that effect on people.
So do you think Danny is the semme or uke in their relationship?
I am slightly terrified to know exactly what you are asking.
…he’s totally uke.
Is that a serious question?
Yes it was, are you scared yet?
I dated a yaoi fangirl once. She actually stopped looking at the stuff when we were in a relationship since she didn’t need it for kicks. Resumed once the relationship ended. Perhaps Amber realizes she needs the fix if Amazi-Girl gets the action? BEST OF BOTH WORLDS.
Dina understands the ways of staying up all night and reading slashfic. However, she does not know who this “I-ron Man” or “Cap-teen Amer-ee-kah” is. All she knows is Dinosaur/human slashfic.
Not Dinosaur/human slashfics, but dinosaurs from different periods.
Personally I ship Barney the Dinosaur and Dino a la Flinstones.
I wonder if she would be interested in Walky’s man-marriage with dinosaurs.
I thought he was manmarried to Gary, the other person on the doodle dinosaur’s back.
I propose…. Rule 34 Dinotopia?
She only reads the classy stuff like Dinosaucers slashfic.
And I am not going to do any research to either verify or deny such stories exist. Rule 34 and all that.
You have put the DInosaucers theme song in my head. Now I must play it on Youtube Repeater for the next three hours. I thank you for this gift.
Of course to Dina, “slashfic” means fiction in which the dinosaurs are slashing up the humans to ribbons.
Augh, no. Bad Jurassic park smut flashback. *cringes*
“What are you without that suit?”
“NAKED!”
“…”
*Tony makes whooshing motions* “NAAAAAAAAKED!”
Shirt contents: one naked person.
Panel 4 is perhaps the most human expression I’ve seen come out of Dina.
Iron Man helps Captain raise the flag pole, and Capn’ helps him lube his machinery.
And then Thor joins in: “You people are so pretty… but tiny.”
“This is not the Mjolnir of which I speak.”
“The Mjolnir is my manhood.”
That was Horrible…
I like it.
ANOTHER!
IN THE FFFFAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCEEEE!!!
That’s what Hulk said.
That was one loud YAWN!
Tomo would be impressed, no doubt.
I wonder if THIS was the inspiration for this strip: http://io9.com/5962913/fan-fiction-friday-iron-man-and-captain-america-in-hungry?popular=true
That i09 post was but a glimmer in its writer’s eye when I created today’s strip. (three to four week buffer) You see, Tony/Steve slashfic is older than time.
And here I thought it only went back to “Tales of Suspense”!
*Checks the History*
Why is there Swoop/Grimlock slashfic in here too?
Now, I haven’t read THAT kind of slashfic, but I’ve definitely been there XD
Dammit amber, you should know Hawkeye is where it’s at.
Yes, but Black Widow is the one with boobs.
She sleeps in the hat, too. Does she ever take it off?
I think that’s the top of her head. If you unscrew it, you see a tiny alien dinosaur operating the controls, on a mission to study these strange earth people.
Like that really bad Eddy Murphy movie?
Yes, but better because it’s Dina.
Willis, your next strip should totally be called It’s Dina!
I miss enjoying Eddy Murphy movies
What? It keeps her head nice and warm. Besides, it’s flat-looking so she probably can wear it to bed comfortably.
First: I need that night shirt. NOW.
Second: I love that Amber has little Kid Flash and Robin action figures.
And then she holds them up and says “NOW KISS!”
Well, of course. Doesn’t everybody?
As you know, it isn’t morning until you actually go to sleep.
So I haven’t experienced a morning since high school?
How old are you????
My guess: Old enough to know better, young enough to not care.
I didn’t know that Amazi-girl had then ability to make people pass-out after they read slash fictions all night
I’ve never seen Sal do that.
Well, I may have done this but with Storm and uuh. Basically anyone with Storm.
Storm/Toad/The Blob OT3?
Just saw this. Ewwwwwww. So there are a few exceptions.
When I first saw those Z’s in the last panel, I thought Amber was saying “PORNNNNNNNN” with sideways N’s
I think that’s intentional.
Amber. Amber that is a dangerous path to take your freshman year of college.
Not that I know from experience or anything…
What day is this? I’d hate to think she has classes today.
Appropriate gravatar, BTW.
It’s Monday. In-strip, I mean.
The Sarah gravatar makes everything I say hilarious.
I may have something against yaoi fangirls, but maybe that something is against those rabid ones. And I’m pretty sure I just started a flame war this time.
Your mother and I are very dissapointed in you.
Why?
Well, your mother is disappointed because, well, she’s your mom. Yotomoe is disappointed because he didn’t have a nickel, so he now has to be your dad for a day.
THAT’S the price you pay for NOT HAVING A NICKEL.
So Yotomoe is Mike in disguise?
O.O
I prefer Stark with Banner but whatever floats your boat girl.
This. Especially in MCU, which I’m kind of assuming is what Amber’s reading, since it’s what kickstarted the recent 8 billion new Marvel fics.
I’m open to a lot of combinations in MCU myself. Stark/Rogers, Stark/Banner, Stark/Potts, Potts/Romanova, Romanova/Barton, Barton/Coulson, Barton/Banner, Darcy Lewis/Sif, Rogers/Barnes, etc. etc. It’s all good.
BIRDFLASH.
That is all.
Flashfact: Robin likes Stephanie Brown ( aka Spoiler & Batgirl )
SEE DC?!?! I remember Stephanie! All your vile attempts to make her fans forget she existed have failed!
( and now I await DC’S in house Anti Stephanie Brown Squad to burst in and mindwipe me. )
Um…. that’s Dick Grayson Robin. I mean I’m a fan of Steph’s as well, but the figures on the desk are of Young Justice season 1 characters.
Unless you mean that Dick Grayson likes Steph as a SISTER, in which case OK but he likes all his bat siblings.
Zzzzzzz.
I like her flash and robin action figures
Can we please get Dina’s shirt for sale? <3
I ship Stark Spangled Banner.
And Science Bros.
These ships…..I like them….ANOTHER!!
Green Widow.
*cheers* Yes! All of the above!
Stark Spangled Banner, eh? So Bruce gets in on it as well?
That Grav is…perfect.
Best Ship Name Ever.
I’ve just spent the last four days rereading the entire archives of the walkyverse and just wanted to jump in and mention seeing Dina even in this incarnation still makes me go all T_T. She’s like my favorite character, probably because in her personality from IW I see a lot of how I was when I started college. She didn’t get to grow out of it though
sorry for unfunny comment
I…might have done this. A couple times.
In the first panel, Dina looks like she’s just been maced. Or she’s impersonating a dinosaur with stalks for eyes.
And in the last panel, she’s impersonating Mr. Burns. “Now that she’s asleep, my diabolical plan can begin!”
So… Amber is Tumblr?
I’m sorry, is that an Animated Ultra Magnus on Amber’s desk along with Robin and Kid Flash?
It is.
Amber has awesome taste in Transformers.
Well this is frighteningly pertinent to my life right now.
OMG, I loved Amber but this moment is so special because I’ve done the same in my college days (and sometimes now that I’m a teacher!)
It happens Amber. Although my first non-grade all-nighter in college was playing Harvest Moon. Reading slash fanfiction probably would have felt more productive.
My first was reading webcomics. Not even joking. Should’ve known better than to pick up a new comic at midnight, but no.
I think I once lost an entire weekend to Sluggy Freelance.
One day she’ll go insane like that.
“go”?
The best thing about living without parental supervision.
CANON~~~!!! XD
So I actually have done this. Those two have such good chemistry it’s impossible not to, at least once, once you’ve started reading it!
So, uh, exactly how much of this comic is based on something your wife has done before?
I have totally done this before…but with Iron Man/Loki and Kirk/Spock slashfic
There’s something new with the art here, isn’t there? I can’t put my finger on it, but I like it.
Extensive backlighting, perhaps?
PORZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
I was gonna make a fapping joke, but then I realised that would lead to Fazzzzzzz. (No surprises)
YAy. I feel better about staying up all nifght doing the last quantunm HW ever. Amber, sleep. It is you’re friend. You made it this far, it feels like you can keep going. What is another 4 hours? It is peanuts, Amber peanuts. But you need to remember thing with your brain. Like an elephant. And elephants need peanuts. So get some sleep before the sleep deprivation elephants wage war and tample your bed.
I have done this so many times before. I’ve had friends ring me from class to find out where I was, and I still hadn’t slept because slash fanfiction… XD
Well… that pretty much sums up the gist of how I spent my college years.
Amber is my spirit animal
What a coincidence, I’m staying up all night reading this!
Somehow I missed Dina’s shirt the first time around. It is the best shirt.
Somehow, Dina’s shirt isn’t in the merch. section.
The way the N turns into a Z before it can do its damage…
