rpanons | Badly's an adverb

Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

1. I've managed to track down all but one issue of Vengeance (#3), so hopefully I'll be able to get that all read soon. I don't like the looks of the art or America's design in it, but I'm sure it'll still be good to add to the foundation of the character. As for the rest, thanks for the issue numbers on JIM! That makes it much clearer what I should go out and look for. I'm not sure how much I'll be able to read of either it or the previous YA series right away (especially when I hear that parts of it might be hate-worthy), but hopefully I can chug through a good chunk of both once I've caught up on my current pull list (orz y so many good comics rn sob sob).

2. That explains a lot if it's editorially mandated. Hearing that honestly makes me feel a lot more comfortable settling on a voice for America. Reading over the issues again just now, I agree, it definitely does seem like she uses words like "chico" for emphasis, like when she's non-plussed and wants to put an extra dig in on the person she's talking to (*cough*Loki*cough*). With that in mind, I wouldn't be surprised if she has barely any accent to speak of, which makes sense considering all the places and realities she's probably dipped her toes into over the years. I still might like to engage with the Latina side of her character at some point since it seems wrong to ignore it altogether, but you're right, I would be much more comfortable just focusing on the parts of America that America herself wants to focus on. Namely the kicking of butts and inter-dimensional barriers. Aww yeah.

Thanks for the recommendations and advice! It was very reassuring, and hopefully if I keep my guts up I can put her somewhere in the near future.

I've got #3-if you wanna drop me a sock I can upload it for you. c:

and dude, don't worry about chugging through YA: it's really short. The first two volumes (which...are pretty much all of the Young Avengers canon) are only about 12ish issues total. There are a few crossovers with the Runaways, but you don't have to read them unless you really want to.

Oo, sweet. I will do that later today when I'm back at my own computer.

And haha considering the size of my unread pull list pile, 12 issues is a lot. XD But that is definitely shorter than I expected! That might still be doable! Thanks!

OP here! You can PM the link to this journal. Actually, if you have the whole mini, that would be great too. Having the digital copies for reference and icon-making is always handy.
