10:53 pm [xdoop] [Link]	Gail Simone: Wonder Woman's Achilles is gay Over at the DC Boards, Gail revealed that Achilles is gay. Yeah, no point in being coy. Historically, Achilles was bi, but in this era, he's absolutely gay. It's just part of who he is. DC has a ton of lesbians, but not that many gay heroes or even anti-heroes. He's not meant to be a token, I think he's a pretty cool character on his own and if he gets a chance to shine, I think we'll see that--up til now it's mostly been potential. But RotO was about good intentions and how even people with good intentions can destroy worlds if they're not careful, so he's been put in a terrible position--his faith in the gods is pretty much absolute, but it puts him in direct conflict with what he believes is right, like his respect for Diana and Hippolyta. I have a lot of sympathy for a person in that position, I think we've all been there where what we believe in conflicts with who we have faith in. Gail also said that Alkyone was gay in a thread over at CBR.

05:18 am [bluefall] [Link]	Babes, Bugs, and Banter: the tale of Babs Gordon and Ted Kord Back at S_D 1.0, mishy_dishy asked about the relationship between Babs and Ted, and since I really only need the flimsiest of excuses to post about Oracle, I put together a post to explore the (nearly) complete history of the Gordon/Kord relationship, with lots of ~~pretty~~ pictures. Time and the Great Disaster having come and gone, gotham_girl has recently echoed that request, so I have raided the archive and unearthed it once again. ( The teaser, she LIES! ) Tags: char: batgirl/oracle/barbara gordon, char: black canary/dinah lance, char: blue beetle/ted kord, char: booster gold/michael jon carter, char: brainiac/vril dox, char: condiment king, char: huntress/helena bertinelli, char: sin, creator: chuck dixon, creator: gail simone, publisher: dc comics, theme: funeral, title: birds of prey (153 comments \| Leave a comment)
