A very underrated part of Phantom Blood is when Dio tearfully pleads that his abused and impoverished upbringing is to blame for his villainy and he only lost sight of what it meant to be good as a result of his alcoholic father, then Speedwagon, a man we can infer has a very similar origin story, emerges from the shadows out if nowhere and says "Nah dude you just fucking suck."
I’m coping <2
When I was a kid I was “darn I just love when female characters pretend to be dudes for whatever reason” and the reason will not shock you in the slightest
Ford: This trip to the Vatican City has been quite fruitful, though still no sign of the Ionza. I wonder if more written accounts exist that I’ve missed? Overall, an enjoyable trip!
Stanley, wearing the papal tiara and holding an empty bag of weed: WE NEED TO LEAVE RIGHT FUCKING NOW
I just woke up and somehow the only thought in my head was Jason Todd as an Etsy witch but he only sells ‘violent spells’ and instead of doing spell work he just personally goes out and beats the shit out of whoever you choose
Had other plans for art and then I see this on Pinterest... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
the fact that the both of them are heartbroken over not being able to save these bitchy racist rich kids - they’re better people than me bc I would’ve waved them goodbye from the door of the TARDIS with one finger
Jason Todd coming back to life after 17 years of being used for Bruce’s and to a lesser extent, Dick’s man pain and then immediately proceeding to harass the shit out of them the second he’s back will never not be funny to me I’m so sorry. I feel like we need more examples of this in media. Action movie sequel where the Idolized Dead Wife comes back and is like “actually I was planning on filing for divorce. And I’m fucking your brother”
Heiji: Wow Mizu really hates us, Fowler. Fowler: Maybe he's homophobic. Heiji: But we're not gay, Fowler. Fowler: We're not?
Random goon: Hey boss, were you the one to pick that name as an alias? And why this one?
Red Hood : I used to have another name, before... A long time ago. But that person is dead now. I get to choose for myself now, they can't take that from me. I won't let them.
Goon: Huh.

Random Goon: Say boss, why do you never take off your shirt in front of us?
Red Hood: Well uh, I actually have that really fucked scar on my chest and I'm not comfortable with...
Random Goon: Don't worry boss, we get it, you don't have to explain yourself to us.

Red Hood, high on some toxin: God, I wish my family...
Random Goon (on boss-sitting duty): why not try reaching out to them?
Red Hood: They would never accept me as I am now... They wouldn't agree with my so-called "life choices". Besides, they don't miss me, they miss the person they think I used to be... I wasn't even a man when I last saw them.
Random Goon: Damn boss, that sucks.

And then the goons throw the Red Hood a party on trans visibility day and Jason is so confused he straight up cries.
When Damian finds out what happened in Red Hood: Lost days
