I have a pet peeve about the promotional art that the Cartoon Network put out for Young Justice.
Dear Cartoon Network Promo Department:

Artemis Crock has BROWN EYES. Please fix your promotional art, which gives her blue eyes. And by "fix", I mean "release new art" so that viewers stop associating Artemis with this inaccurate YJ poster. Artemis is ( Read more... )

I've been bookmarking a few stories with the intent to eventually write a rec post, then realised I was never going to get around to it! Besides, you guys have probably seen these already. So here are the stories, with very little commentary.
