Unjust Treatment

Raven's portrayal in the Injustice series is a disservice to her character as a whole, no matter what continuity you follow. No version of her would ever be a willing servant of her father, but that's what this storyline wanted to do with her. Her emotions go haywire after Beast Boy gets killed, but no one is there for her. Trigon is, though, just like in Teen Titans Go! where he keeps inserting himself into her life to get her to do his bidding. It works this time, and she becomes the monster everyone saw her as. I follow the early 2000s cartoon, in which she ends her season 4 story arc by making a memorable speech to Trigon about how he was never a father to her and that her friends raised her before sealing him away forever. Then there's the Lego Teen Titans Go! (yes, they actually made that). While I haven't watched any gameplay yet, the nine-minute short they put out was also wrong on this account. Spoilers: Raven cheats to win at the Lego build competition, stating that her dad taught her to win at all cost. That was a slap in the face, but what did you expect from TTG? At least it confirmed my headcanon that Raven is a fan of Tim Burton (though Beetlejuice is part of the Lego universe and Nightmare Before Christmas is part of the Disney universe).

Someday I'm going to draw fan art of Even and Ienzo modeled after Rick and Morty. "Run, Ienzo!" "Aw geez, Even!"

I was putting off getting the pumpkin spice M&Ms, but we sold out at work. They probably weren't any better than the candy corn ones, which just tasted like slightly sweeter white chocolate. 

Being told you will never be hired but still encouraged to volunteer is like being friendzoned hard.

Would it be insensitive to compare hurricane categories to Gabriel Iglesias' five (now six) levels of fatness? Hurricane Fluffy!
