Alber Will Never Be Better Than Alberu Too. Or Beacrox, That's Such A Badass Name.

Every day I learn new things about this dude and just know I would never get over his ass.

I'm currently rereading Trash of the Count's Family because I've got my hands on the physical copy, and I'm honestly in awe of how much was foreshadowed. I'm currently only on page 24, and Cale already asked Ron to bring him cold water twice after remembering the contents of "Birth of a Hero". On the first read, it meant nothing, but having read all of part 1, it's so obvious that he's using Record.

I love this story

if you were at your worst, if you’re a villain or a screwup or whatever, there is a goth man dressed as a giant bat who keeps coming after you, bothering you. he sabotages your journey of self destruction over and over. ur ready to give up but he won’t let you. you think, today he won’t come. today he will give up on me too. he never does.

how the fam find out Jason's still alive

Dick, looking through old photo books: aw, it's such a shame Talia didn't tell B about you until recently Dami, I'd have loved to see photos of you as a baby

Damian: ? I can get baby photos if that is required in this family

Dick: what, how? Talia doesn't seem like the baby-book kind of woman, no offense.

Damian: She was not, however after my brother was brought out of the Lazarus pit he was given a few old cameras in an attempt to make his mind focus on something not harmful to himself and settle down. He took a lot of photos of our family during his training.

Dick:

Bruce:

Both, simultaneously: your what now?

-later-

Damian, walking into the room with an old box: Alright so I broke into his current safe house while he was working and took one of the boxes. I believe these should suffice for your 'baby books'

Bruce: hold on you broke into his- your brother lives in Gotham??? there's a trained league assassin working in this city and you didn't tell me? Damian we need to talk about your habit of withholding important infor-

Dick: Bruce.....

Bruce: -mation. what?

Dick: look at the.... photo...

Bruce, leaning over to see a photo of Jason Todd holding baby Damian up at the head of a meeting table like in the lion king, red smear on his forehead, while Ra's Al Ghul stares at them both from his seat looking Tired Of Jason's Shit™:

Damian, peering at the photo: yes, Todd got quite good with the timers on those cameras, he took many a photo holding me like that. I believe it was a special campaign designed to get on grandfather's nerves enough that he'd agree to watch the movie with us.

Bruce:

Dick:

*screaming*

bonus:

Tim: you know some of these photos are actually really good, like the angles and tones you used

Jason: you steal Robin, I steal photography.

Tim:

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.

Hey, stop scrolling.

Everyone who is reading this: I’m so glad you’re alive. I’m so proud of you. You are loved. I’m here. Don’t give up, we’re almost there.

Pass it on.

THAT'S IT, IM GONNA DO IT I'm jumping, this is too good

Chapter 423.

wade calling him everything but logan

This is why I can't laugh with the slacker life joke, I genuinely feel sorry for this man.

He just wants to nap (honestly same).

When you think about it krs hasn't left the battlefield in almost 18 years (15 years for the cataclysm and 2+ years as cale henituse)

Sure the breaks he's taking in tcf are great and all but the looming threat of an upcoming battle has not left this mans psyche in almost 2 decades

The time he spent as team leader and cale henituse combined

And in p2 he's still running around fighting 😭 oml

His perseverance is amazing

Get this guy into retirement ASAAAPPPPP

Well, isn't this just the coolest thing

Had the sudden urge to draw a 40-year-old battle torn, world weary Og! Cale.

No matter which age they serve!!!

Cheapstake: A long time ago i heard this phrase..

Cale: *ignoring him*

Cheapstake: Give a man a match, and he’ll be warm for a few hours. Set him on fire, and he will be warm for the rest of his life.

Cale: *chokes*
