that feeling when you get a brand new story idea, but it literally has no plot yet, just vibes>>
Bad Guy, pointing a gun at Jason: Don't move, or I'll kill you. Jason: Bold of you to assume I've never been killed before. Dick: Jay... Jason: Oh, please, we all know it takes both a crowbar and explosion to take me out. The guy has neither. Dick: WE ARE NOT TESTING THAT Tim: But, If one of us dies to a firearm, Bruce Wayne might suddenly become a gun control activist. Jason: Either way we win. I don't see a problem Dick: I DO
More random tropes that I fucking love: Becoming the mask you wore.
Like oh shit, this character who was sent to spy somewhere under a false identity suddenly realises they've started to genuinely become the person they claimed to be? Someone who's been telling the same lies about who they are for so long that they're actually forgetting that the story isn't true? Finding themselves genuinely doing the things they pretend to do in front of people, when they're alone and nobody's watching? Answering to a name that wasn't supposed to be theirs without thinking?
Ooohh-hoh-hoh, you lost track of yourself in pretending to be someone else? You were only supposed to impersonate somebody, a plausible background and a name you came up with on the spot, and now that the people you were supposed to infiltrate have become your true companions? You lost yourself in the game you played, and no you no longer know who you truly are, and where your true loyalties lie? And both sides would mark you a traitor if you came out with the truth. On a scale of one to ten, how bad did you fuck up.
Fuck that is a good trope. Never seen it done badly. Pour that shit on a table and I'll chop it into lines and snort it.
i don’t want to be here! i want to go home!
Bothering the beast
i love when characters don't get to die
