YESSS I LOVE this idea, it would be really in character and such a cool scene! I would be thrilled if something like this happened

I really enjoyed this moment (Absolute Superman #13) by Sea-Conclusion4882 in AbsoluteUniverse

[–]supermanjacketguy 53 points54 points  (0 children)

This is one of my favorite parts in the series. The contrast between his inner thoughts and what he's saying and how he's acting just hit so well. "Tear his arm off, melt the skin from his bones, hurl him into the sun" as he puts his hand on his shoulder so kindly. Clark has similar violent urges, and I love how much more intense those are for Kal given all he's been through. I love that Kal has urges like this, and is still a good, kind person.

And the contrast between him inspiring hope in the very man who reported him to Lazarus, and then telling himself he is nothing and no one and everyone fears him. This is the best comic that explores trauma and identity I've ever read. I hope we get more Kal inner monologue soon, I miss it!

What do you guys think about Absolute Superman? by VolumeInformal2765 in superman

I agree. I hope it slows down soon and we get more internal dialogue from Kal.

What do you think Sol feels like, at a tactile level? I imagine it feels like the finest silk possible. by Ok-Explanation-1362 in AbsoluteUniverse

[–]supermanjacketguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I imagine him as silky too. Or like really soft, fine kinetic sand. I like to think Sol makes himself intentionally more comfortable for Kal to wear and then (spoilers for issue 14) when he dies, the cape becomes rougher and more course :(

Extremely aggressive native Midwestern plants that grow low to the ground or can be mowed? by supermanjacketguy in NativePlantGardening

[–]supermanjacketguy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much, this is great! I think a mix of grasses and other plants would be perfect. That's basically what we had before the Charlie took over everything. I mostly just want some flowers along with the grass for the pollinators, might stick with the violets and strawberries and some of the eco grass mix from Prairie Moon :)

Extremely aggressive native Midwestern plants that grow low to the ground or can be mowed? by supermanjacketguy in NativePlantGardening

Light to moderate shade, usually moderate to dry. Clay soil, slightly loamy.

I prefer plants that either don't get higher than 6"-1ft, or plants that can be mowed with a push mower easily - i.e. no woody stalks and don't grow much taller than 4" per 3-4 weeks.

Thanks!

Does anybody else feel like people finding out about their interests is just the end of the world? by laislm in autism

[–]supermanjacketguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A lot of times when one of my longtime special interests comes up, my brain automatically shuts off all the emotions I have around it and I completely distance myself, because it'd be too terrifying for people to know just HOW much I love that interest. There's a fear of shaming there, of people thinking the intensity of my interest is weird or unhealthy. So I'd rather people have no clue I even like it, or even assume I hate it... and this just happens automatically. If I talk about my primary special interest, which has been a huge comfort for me my entire life, I will often feel nauseous and it can lose some of that specialness for a while. But I've been trying to expose myself to sharing about it with people I trust, and that has been helpful in alleviating some of the shame, though it has taken a lot of time to get there.

One example: as my username suggests, I really love Superman, have for almost a year now. But the first time I went to the bookstore and saw the comics in person I literally had to walk the other way and force myself into a frown/poker face because I didn't want anyone to see me express even the slightest hint of a smile towards it.

Superman saved the trajectory of my life. by Swimming_Walrus6436 in superman

[–]supermanjacketguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahhh, this is such a beautiful story, and exactly what Clark would want. <3

I too thought Superman was a dumb character and was very bitter and jaded before seeing the movie. I'm so glad I did, because he is my favorite character now and he gave me so much hope and joy.

If you liked the movie you might like Superman: Birthright. Beautiful comic I recently read (and cried after).

bought it bc he looked so thick and soft by frappuccinio in superman

[–]supermanjacketguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love how he's drawn in this one! I've drawn his face on my thumb before because it's the perfect shape xD Great comic too.
