It's Only the End if You Want it to Be

So, someone just asked Mary Kate Wiles (Lydia Bennet from The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, dontcha know) if she’s “the real Mary Kate Wiles”.
She replied: “As far as i know. Is there an imposter out there?”
To which Giancarlo Volpe (yes, the real Giancarlo Volpe) responded: “i’m the fake one”.
I am not sure how to even handle all these fabulous people being on tumblr and interacting with each other.
Here are some notes and images from Lois Lane, Girl Reporter, a pitch for a series of illustrated young adult novels I worked on a few years ago for DC Comics. Story by me, with considerable brainstorming help from my pal John Campbell, and art by Project: Rooftop fan…
Happy 75th, LL. :)
I’m still hoping this series can become a reality someday, Mr. Trippe…

Greg Rucka comments on Lois Lane, Superman, and their treatment
[click here for the original post]
After watching Scott Lobdell humiliate a female Lois Lane fan on his Facebook page yesterday and then reading this…it’s honestly hard not to cry.
Greg Rucka almost never fails to impress me with how completely, perfectly, he Gets It. How I wish this man was still working for DC Comics. (Not that I blame him one bit for not being interested.) And most especially, I wish he was still writing Superman and Lois Lane. Because I really think he understands not only these characters, but a general, troubling trend in comics we’re seeing all too often lately.
Well said, Mr. Rucka. Very well said, indeed.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_me6l67uCWx1qgb3zso1_500.jpg)

Superman and Lois Lane by Dean Trippe
How cute are these?!
Whenever I see anything relating to Dean Trippe and Lois Lane, I’m forever bitter that his Lois Lane: Girl Reporter series never became a reality.
That’s neither here nor there, but it just came to mind.
Beautiful, adorable art, though - they look so happy together. I especially love that last one. <3
It’s hilarious because it’s true. xD

#actors who are actually their character
the greatest casting ever.
Even better when you think about how Dan got a place for himself in NY to continue his career, Emma went to a school in USA, and Rupert bought a fucking ice cream truck.
Follow your dreams Rupert
I didn’t know this. So I looked it up and - HE ACTUALLY DID.
‘I keep my van well stocked. It’s got a proper machine that dispenses Mr Whippy ice cream and I buy my lollies wholesale – 50 for a tenner – so I never run short.
I’m not allowed to sell my merchandise. I’d need a licence for that. ‘I tend to avoid July and August, but the rest of the year I’ll drive around the local villages and if I see some kids looking like they’re in need of ice creams, I’ll pull over and dish them out for free. They’ll say, “Ain’t you Ron Weasley?” And I’ll say, “It’s strange, I get asked that a lot.”It makes it even better that he just GIVES the icecream away. [Source]
rupert is the hero we all deserve
you go man with your truck
Endless appreciation for Rupert Grint. <3
And all three of these guys, really.

i hereby dub marcus to an honorary member of the batfam
Thanks, i really appreciate that. Unfortunately I feel like I’ve been retconed sometimes….
what’s it like in continuity limbo?
Feels odd…. kinda like being a middle child and you don’t complain much so your parents think you’re doing just fine and don’t need to do much to make you happy
I legitimately get so much joy from Marcus To’s existence. He is not merely an awesome artist, but an awesome individual, as well. :-)

Hello, followers!
If you were following me back in August or July, you might have remembered when I posted some meta about Batgirl, how DC treats female characters, and how Gail Simone chose to write Babs in the New 52. Well, that post really started making the rounds and you may also remember…
Bleah, it’s my fault, just a misunderstanding. I sincerely apologize…it wasn’t the criticism I objected to, it was the characterization of the event. But it’s completely unimportant and thank you so much for the kind words.
Let me clarify just a couple quick things—I don’t have a retinue, those were just people who came out of the panel I was just on at the same time I did, including Kurt Busiek. The only retinue-type was my husband and he’s kind of stuck with me. :)
And I’m glad he found you guys…it was clear to me that you felt bad about the previous encounter which is not what I wanted at all, I felt terrible, so I thought it would be nice to send out some comics for you guys to say NO WORRIES, YOU ARE STILL WONDERFUL.
Also, you guys looked amazing—Girl Nightwing, Batgirl, and Black Widow, three of my favorites! I put your photo up as my avatar on Twitter!
Thanks for taking the time to speak to me and sorry if I was in a rush to get back to my table, I’d been away from it all morning and was feeling pretty anxious in case people were waiting (which they were).
See you guys at ECCC?
I refuse to consider this to be a matter at which anyone is at fault. : o )
Anyways, again, thank you so much for those comics and for everything! It was fantastic receiving them knowing they were from you. You couldn’t have known it but I was just sitting there after freaking out while my very patient friends were patting me on the back (or, in the case of my Batgirl, punching me in the arm hard) - so receiving those comics super made my day.
Well, more than my day.
And it’s wonderful, because in my flustered jumble of words, all I wanted you to hear was I THINK YOU ARE STILL WONDERFUL too. So.
Of course I will see you at ECCC!
Everything about this makes me smile. :-)

if you don’t love the green family you’re wrong
SO FREAKIN’ CUTE OMG. <3
This is from the birthday video where John taught Henry to say Hank’s name, right? I’m not sure if I should be proud or embarrassed that I know that.
But in any case, they are the most adorable. <3

Lu, of all the posts you could have chosen to boast about your platonic match-making skills, why did you choose that one.REAL FRIENDS AWKWARDLY DISCUSS ORAL SEX TOGETHER IN A PUBLIC FORMAT YEAH BOY
And then throw good-natured insults at each other, absolutely.
This is the real deal, kids. It warms my heart. ;-)
unorigelnal replied to your post:
Gotta love asshole anons who are too busy calling you an asshole to notice they’re being an asshole.
toalwaysbeme replied to your post:
Hey, Lu, guess what. I love you. You have every right to complain and some of us like it that you do be cause we hate the reboot, too. (I am a mother hen so I want to shield you from anons like this, but you always handle these things with grace.)
Awwww, you guys!
Have I mentioned that I love you both?!
But really, you don’t need to worry. I can handle anons like this. Truth be told, I’d always rather people come to me directly with their complaints (even if they do it on anon), rather than bashing me behind my back.
They were a bit rude, yes, but it’s really no big deal.
But I appreciate how protective you guys are of me. <3
oh and
This is a post for luanna.
LU LU YOU ARE WONDERFUL DON’T BE SAD I HAVE EVEN MORE HUG GIFS IF NEED BE
Are you guys even aware of how amazing you are?!?!?!?!?!
You have been so ridiculously wonderful about this, I can’t even. I love you guys so much. *hugs and hugs*
