Today’s post really is about a surplus of things to talk about.  I am watching Jessica Jones.  Like right this second, I paused it so I could type this.  I want to talk about the show but I don’t want to spoil anything.  I am liking it more and more as time goes on and there is a lot here to unpack about the nature of abusive relationships and the reality of them that is often over looked.  The fact that David Tennant is charming and can seem reasonable or even right for a moment is a real asset to the show and it’s really nice that the show shows just how charming an abuser can be and how powerful their hold can be.  But I can’t go further than that cause spoilers suck.  What I will say instead is Patsy Walker is one of my favorite things about comics.  Not the character as much as the idea of the character.  She is something that can only exist in comics, nowhere else would you see this.  I assume everyone knows Archie comics and more specifically Betty and Veronica.  Well, if you don’t know Patsy Walker it’s ok because what she started off as was a character in bunch of comics that were meant o compete with Archie.  She was in a book called Hedy and Patsy, the Betty and Veronica of Marvel.  She was very popular.  Like she starred in a comic for 27 years straight popular.  Anyway, I won’t go into too much detail but the Betty of the Marvel Universe graduated from high school and her comic became a career girl romance comic and then eventually she became a Superhero named Hellcat, married the son of Satan, got divorced, died, came back, has some demonic powers sorta.  And that is why the character is amazing.  So it’s why Rachael Taylor is here because the second I figured out she’s Patsy Walker I knew I was going to post her.  It just was surprisingly hard to find decent pictures of her.  Strange given I have seen her in lots of movies and stuff.  Anyway, comics, Jessica Jones, yadda yadda yadda.  Today I want to fuck Rachael Taylor.
