Little girl dressed as Stan Lee at Motor City Comic con!!!

That kid got a good start in life.

This goes along with the little girl wearing a Human Torch costume at the U District Street fair yesterday. Nobody else in her group was in costume; I think she just decided to be Johnny Storm that day.

Girls can be any superhero we want to.

Reblogged again for the awesome added commentary.

This week GAB are looking at the benefits of gaming. We’ve almost drowned ourselves in discussing race and geek girls - and it’s high time we had a nice break to feel warm and fuzzy.

Lets remind ourselves of not only why we love gaming, but why it can be good for us.

We’ll be posting and linking things like the one above (source: http://visual.ly/gaming-good-you) here, and on our Twitter, Facebook & Website.
And you can share your questions and stories with us by dropping us an Ask.

Merry Gaming :)

Me and my sibilings are homeschooled, and you know what taught my little brother to read/ write? Minecraft. He plays on servers and had to learn how to talk to people on the chats

There is a real actual Spiderman comic where he pretends this is his power and the bad guys drop their weapons and give up. XD And it makes me happy.

Here it is:

No one can ever say spiderman is not the best superhero of all time.

No one.

Now I want to write a super-hero that has no power but convincing other of her terrifying, arcane powers: Bullshit Lass!

Cosplay of the day: Warhammer 40K Imperial Fists Terminator Captain Tancred

This is a Warhammer 40k Imperial Fists Terminator Captain Tancred costume created by Daniel Høgh and Justina Šniukštaitė of Roses and Boltshells, their cosplay prop manufacturing business. The outfit is predominately foam, so the wearer is actually able to move around in it.

Okay, so I’m not sure why but for some reason there are a ton, a TON, of Princess Batman costumes, possibly more than the standard Batgirl costume. They come in 2 different flavors, bumblebee and hot pink. So, I’m just making one big Super Princess Batman compilation post (alternatively Ballerina Batman since those fluffy skirts can be ambiguous).

Don’t ask which Robin that is because I cannot keep track of all the dang Robins at this point… “Stephanie Carrie Graydrake-Waynetodd”

“Star Trek was an attempt to say that humanity will reach maturity and wisdom on the day that it begins not just to tolerate, but take a special delight in differences in ideas and differences in life forms. […] If we cannot learn to actually enjoy those small differences, to take a positive delight in those small differences between our own kind, here on this planet, then we do not deserve to go out into space and meet the diversity that is almost certainly out there.”

For John,who likes his Storm as complicated and unpredictable as the weather itself.

what I love about this picture is that someone understands the nature of black hair enough to give storm a mohawk that doesn’t looks real, it’s not just some amorphous blob of straight hair that stands up somehow magically
