How is it that every time I work on Princess Protection Program fic my monarchy!boner gets the best of me and I turn a ridiculous Disney movie into super srs bsns fic? I used to think it was just that Demi Lovato's life choices made me sad and it spread to my ~writing, but I'm starting to suspect this is one of those IT'S NOT YOU, IT'S ME situations. Last night I spent more time thinking about Rosie's royal lineage than doing any actually writing. I think I'll totally blame Fioré on the Bourbons' adventures in Sicily and Naples.
Also, I made the mistake of thinking about comics.
See, I was in the middle of convincing myself that it made sense to sell comics in sort of ~family-themed bundles like they do here (e.g. You read Batgirl but sometimes Red Robin is relevant to your interests, everybody wins! or You only read Batgirl, you pay for Gotham City Sirens, Red Robin, Detective Comics and Batman Confidential anyway! Everybody... no, wait.) Possibly, it's just that I have angry feelings.
BUT THEN, and only then, I realized that Batman had his stupid bundle, Superman had his stupid bundle, Green Lantern Corps had their stupid bundle... Batman, Green Lantern, Superman... Superman, Batman... Wonder Woman? :D? No? *tiny violin* Diana, why can't you ever win? Wonder Woman is in the Generic DCU bundle. She's not even in the Justice League one. Generic DCU bundle.
BUT THEN (PART 2) I thought: well, cool, but let's say Wonder Woman did have her own bundle thingy, what would they even publish in it? Wonder Woman and Robin, Streets of Themyscira, Superman/Artemis? (Technically there's the Titans, but I would just color over every page that isn't Rose Wilson ordering a cheeseburger like this: "Would you like fries with that?" "Did you say Cassie?" "Fries." "CassieCassieCassie?" "FRIES." "FUCK YOU, POINTY SWORDS ATTACK!" ♥♥♥)
BUT THEN (THE FINALE) I ended up buying Generic DCU Bundle Thing anyway because Wonder Womannnn *sadface in the mirror in front of a mirror in front of a mirror* She is the shiny thing that you didn't even know you liked that much until wait what is that hugging my heart? IDEK. Basically, thinking sucks and leads to sadface.
(And it sucks with extra cheese. The Generic DCU Bundle Thing I bought packed Blackest Night: Mary Isn't Reading This and an issue from Gail's run, that I don't really love as much as Rucka's - look, once you go Greg, you can't go back lalala.)
