There are two outlines, an emotional arch the characters are going through, and then what's going on around them...the life and crimes of the title, @ericafails.bsky.social said.

Henderson said, they are enjoying knowing where they were and where they are going, so having those rules and constraints, kind of the opposite of the freedom the absolute universe gives. Love's going back to animated series timeframe, back to her childhood.

Henderson says, realized no one has ever written HOW they got together, or the Joker breakup.

Trying to work, but instead I'm thinking about some of the worst cartoons ever made: The Filmation Tom and Jerry.
Thanks so much, brain.

First thing I found in the fan books I picked up were these sketches of the Optimus Prime, Megatron and Metroplex G1 figures. No Idea what they may have been used for but they look very old. #Transformers

These tariffs. We pay them for things we need; they’re a tax. Trump scoops them into a huge slush fund which he apparently can spend at will. He doesn’t have any oversight; he doesn’t provide exact figures; Congress has no role in deciding proper expenditure.

I can confidently say that if you like the neo-5.5" figure styling, you will LOVE our Immortal Champions figure line. The first wave of Conan (!), Red Sonja (!!) and Skeletal Guardian (!!!) are an absolute blast to play with and display beautifully. The team's crushed it.

☠️ UNDEAD SKELETAL GUARDIAN!! ☠️

Check out this terrifying deco sample for our Immortal Champions Undead Skeletal Guardian! He looks ready to defend any castle, crypt, or even display case, alongside an army of enchanted skeletal warriors!!
