Part of me being a weird kid. Not only did I watch Hammond Spider-Man, at the time of the release of The Dark Knight with Chrisitan Bale and Heath Ledger, I was head over heels for Adam West… When I saw Affleck being an absolute force of nature, I said to myself… he’s cool but he’s not West. Even when I saw Pattinson, my personal favorite (live action) Batman-film, I said… Damn, it was almost as good as West.
Alright, kidding. I don’t remember ever comparing Affleck to West but West was my first love and my only love. My idea, understanding of the character and interest in Batman all grew out of watching Adam West and Burt Ward gliding down poles, running around with bombs and decode the most complicated of riddles, all while still informing the importance of good grammar.
Miss you, West.

Introducing… a new eye color! A slightly toned down blue! I like it.
And also… team Chloe or team Warren?
May the 4th be with you!

LATE MAY THE 4TH AND REVENGE OF THE 5TH!!
Been away to Comic Con so was unable to post but back now!
It was so fun! Got a selfie with Mark Waid and he signed my Kingdom Come! It was amazing!
And got an X-Men poster SIGNED by R. B. Silva! As well as some classics to my bookshelf like “Whatever happened to the Man of Tomorrow?” and “Demon in a Bottle”
10/10 weekend!
The official sequel to that one post. It got very popular and I thought I would share the "answer" I found to my original "question".
The original comic is about growing up aneurotypical (specifically I have autism and ADHD among other things, e.g. being LGBT) in a world not made for that, and my profound feelings of alienation as a result.
Whether you share those specific problems or not, I am sincerely happy if it resonated with you and humbled that it meant something to so many people.
A popular addition to the post was "you will find your people". I think it is absolutely true that you can and will find people willing to support you and love you for who you are - I have, and their support made much of my growth possible (as well as therapy). I am grateful to the artist that made that addition and think it is important.
But I wanted to make this because to me, it was important to learn the message that you are allowed to exist as yourself, even if you were to never find a single other person who accepts you. You do not need the validation of others. Even if you feel like you were somehow made wrong, or will never fit in with anyone else, you have the right to exist.
Live authentically for yourself, and not for others. Pursue your passions.
It is intentional that the person in the comic never fully regains their color. I will never be the untraumatized child I once was. But that doesn't mean life is not worth living.
I love you, and I hope you try to live as you are.
