Glaswegian street philosopher who overthinks everything (well, d’uh) especially comics. Flailing at motherhood. A *bit* of a Catwoman fan. Fanfics & what-have you: https://archiveofourown.org/users/CatONineTailz/works .

I've finally picked up on Chapter 2 of #Catwoman 'I've Got my reasons' one of many poor, neglected #fanfictions. Starts & ends with classic BatCat badinage with lots of Selina being a magnificent bastard to people who absolutely deserve it inbetween. #batman archiveofourown.org/works/501784...

Catwoman and Domino please and thank you.

The daughter’s currently obsessed with Lilo & Stitch: The Series. It’s a relentlessly grim saga in which a wee girl is repeatedly bullied by an objectively awful little shit & her equally vile friends then gaslit by the surrounding adults into believing it’s all her fault.

Having just devoured “The Space Between Worlds” and “Those Beyond the Wall” over a hectic Christmas and Hogmanay, I’m going to need @micaiahjohnson.bsky.social to cancel all prior appointments so she can write the next instalment IMMEDIATELY.

I’m sorry, but if a film that has Michelle Pfeiffer in a painted on costume straddling Michael Keaton with visible tenting between his legs doesn’t get your blood pumping, you are actually clinically unalive.

A bit belated…but here’s my New Year themed #Batcat #fanfiction. Selina and Bruce see in the New Year at different stages of their lives, with bittersweet notes each time.

CW: Smooches.

Happy Hogmanay!

Family have arrived, drinks gave been poured and my steak pie is in the oven, so I’ll see you all next year…

I’m loving playing Star Wars Outlaws so far- Kay Vess is a FUN she-scoundrel. And the texture and grain of the environments so far really add to the experience.

Makes me want a similar style of game with a young early days Catwoman, clawing her way up in the Gotham underworld..

Christmas is a time for family, so they say. And that’s always been a complicated matter for Selina Kyle.

‘To you and your kin’ is a bittersweet Christmas tale, told Catwoman style.

Merry Christmas!

‘Winner’s History’ is one of my festive #fanfictions in which Selina and Bruce indulge in that most timeless of Christmas traditions: sending your lover to sleep on the sofa when they open their stupid mouth and piss you off... #catwoman #batman #batcat archiveofourown.org/works/35570251

Catwoman from the Brubaker/Coke comics run, with a smidge of Genevieve Valentine.Tough, compassionate & protective (but not at all well-behaved), crackling with Chandler-esque wit & wisdom, dressed in one of the all time classic costumes +Holly Robinson.

& booty calls with Batman & Eiko Hasigawa.😉🔥

In today's action packed #fanfiction 'House Cat' Selina Kyle sits on Bruce Wayne's lap.

...

...What? You want a plot or something?

Fine. Selina also loses at Wordle. Happy now?

Choose 20 comics that have stayed with you or influenced you. One comic per day for 20 days, in no particular order.

As we have zero social life & it’s been a crap year we decided ‘fuck it’ & got a PS5 for our Xmas. Comes with StarWars-Outlaws, & now I’m on Bluesky I look forward to reporting on my playthrough without various twatknuckles popping into my feed to whinge because Kay Vess doesn’t give them a stauner.

‘The Moon, the Lady and the Light’ is a bit of an epic (still being written!): 3 time periods, 3 generations, & 3 women of the Wayne family-Martha, Selina & Helena confront the ancient conspiracy at Gotham's black heart.

I feel in this moment, Patty avenges all stereotypically screaming/hysterical fictional mothers everywhere.

It’s just great to be able to read along on what I know is going to be a landmark series in the medium I love. ❤️
December 12, 2024 at 7:21 PM
Ok so the #FML gushing WILL continue: this sequence here between Patty and Riley in issue 2 rang so true in its depiction of parenthood I made bell-like sounds for hours after. @kellysue.bsky.social & @davidlopez.bsky.social continue to nail it, keeping up the quality & intensity of issue 1…
December 12, 2024 at 7:19 PM
@kellysue.bsky.social & @davidlopez.bsky.social’s #FML no. 1 might be the best first issue I’ve ever read.

Its depiction of motherhood alone makes it one of my picks of ‘24. The times are absurd & crappy but our comic creators are rising to the the challenge.

Also ‘Shart Barbie’… 🔥

READ IT.

Actually Alice, I think we should.

Buckle up, princess.

Loved this strip. Provided me with one of my first true role models…

Today's fanfic is ‘All Yours’.

Tragedy has struck! Bruce Wayne, Prince of Gotham has been kidnapped by one of Gotham’s most notorious and dangerous villains…and she intends on having some fun before night's end.

Happened upon BBC’s the Toddler Club this morning (which my nearly five year-old is now way too sophisticated for…) and was reminded of 1)how hot all the presenters are and 2) how Gemma belted out all those nursery rhymes as if she was knee deep in the late-stage carnage of a Hen Night in Leeds.

#Catwoman 70 was superb. Selina is both gritty and stylish, much more human and humane. Loved the riffs on Tik Tok and snitching, the granular depiction of Berlin, Selina as a master of disguise, her smarts on full display and Fabiana Mascolo's art.

Best Catwoman I've read since One Bad Day.

Been reading this anthology of female comic creators and finding all sorts of gems, including this sharp, bittersweet wee thing by @gailsimone.bsky.social

Brought a tear. Or two.

Would love to see more Tales from the Shampoo bowl…
