#but that doesn’t make it a comedy

[twinstxrs]

so much happened in this whole episode but i’m still on fig infiltrating ruben’s dream, making it look like the place where his friend was murdered, and then disguising herself as kipperlilly & repeatedly saying different variants of “somebody needs to take the fall for this, and it’s not going to be me. it’s going to be you.” while adaine as the elven oracle shows up next to her. can you imagine waking up from that, the idea of a horrible truth being pinned on you by your friend to save her own skin while the personification of fate and destiny stands there, almost as a promise that this is GOING to happen to you. we don’t even know if this kid is guilty. my god.

He’s fucking hilarious and I’m tired of the internet pretending he’s not

#miguel o'hara #atsv #across the spiderverse #comic miguel #like seriously he’s funny in the movie and out they’re just different comedy tropes #He’s cynical and sarcastic in both the comics and the movie #And in the movie he does fit into the “straight man” archetype sometimes #Big example is the “why are you saying it like that” scene #it was only that funny because he was confused and didn’t know what was going on #Just because he isn’t making a pun or some witty comment or some shit doesn’t mean he isn’t doing a comedy 😭😭😭😭

There’s a general consensus that above all else Jason should be homicidal again. However I think what’s also very important is that he should be a fucking hoot.

There’s nothing not funny about this entire bit.

1. He couldn’t give less of a shit about explaining that he’s single-handedly trying to stop a terrorist attack. Obviously cause he’s short on time, but even if he had all the time in the world he would still be this indifferent towards explaining himself to cops.

2. This bomb is seconds away from exploding but he’s at most mildly annoyed like he’s in the office doing some menial task.

3. The perfectly timed British jokes.

4. Circling back to number 1 on the list. After he throws the bomb into the water he just dips. For all they know he’s the (weird) terrorist. (But as long as everyone’s okay he doesn’t care! The beauty of Jason Todd everybody).

This one is funny (but it’s also true)? Like yes … that is exactly what you are. (A sweet, kind-hearted goodboy learning how to effectively poison people, shoot guns, and blow shit up with all manner of explosives like a certified pro).

Bonus:

Red Hood: The Lost Days #5 (2010-)

Red Hood: The Lost Days #4 (2010-)

“Not so irritating for an American” is a far more impressive title than “genius” if you ask me. Although I think Jason balances both pretty well.

#lost days was actually a comedy it gets funnier every time I reread it #look I know in recent days he’s become more serious/glum as a character #he’s sorta detached from people and situations and he seems to have lost his spunk #and my mind is zoning in on Zdarsky. him feeling immense guilt and burden over people he kills. #which like. even Matt Murdock fans said Zdarsky leaned a bit too heavily into Catholic guilt lol #Jason should be like this again #boiling inside him is untamed rage and pain and hurt but the jokes keep rolling off his tongue in an endless stream #just as playful with his words as he is with his bombs and takeover plans #from moments like the bomb under the bridge or even just the 'nice boy' comment #you see just how much he not only doesn’t care about being labelled a hero for his actions but how he actively detests it even #it’s one of the things that makes him so endearing to me like: look at this humble kind kid who loves and cares for the world immeasurably #(even after all he’s suffered from it) #but refuses to ever take credit for it #jason todd #red hood #red hood: the lost days #lost days #dc

I love Trucy so much but I’m just thinking about her and Phoenix’s first couple of months living together

Trucy moves so silently (“she’s like… the twins from that scary movie”), so Phoenix either has his eye on her constantly so she won’t get into trouble (or hurt herself) or

“Hello Daddy.”

SHIT— has to restraint himself from flinging what he’s holding into the nearest wall, “o-oh! Hey Trucy!”

Staring at him with her All Seeing Eyes, “do you want to see something cool.”

Oh— oh god please don’t let it be a body. Do we have mice? Did she catch a mouse??? “Oh, yeah, sure thing kiddo.”

Tenderly takes him by the hand and pulls him into her room, “I organized all my socks by color.”

“…oh. Wow. Cool!”

“I also organized all my construction paper by color but that seemed less important at the time”

“Uh-…huh”

AND AN ASIDE I THINK ITS VERY IMPORTANT that Phoenix takes EVERYTHING IN STRIDE, like yessss king, water off a ducks back, this is your child now

#it’s different from Pearl I think #Pearl had to learn how to trust him as someone who never had a father figure in her life #but got to know him through Maya first #and always had at least One Layer of family between them #until she considered him to be family anyway #Trucy didn’t really get that buffer #and she also has the whole thing of like #‘oh my dad’s job is literally to disappear but he always comes back so o’ #and I wonder if that was ever…confusing for her #or not confusing but #I don’t know #but anyway. how can this girl who already lost her father make *sure* that she does *absolutely everything right* #so she doesn’t lose this one here #haha! light comedy post! #ace attorney #phoenix wright #trucy wright #phoenix and trucy #AND WHEN #I ASK YOU WHEN #WHEN DID PHOENIX STOP SEEING TRUCY AS A CHILD THAT NEEDED HIS HELP #NEEDED HIS LOVE AND CARE #AND START GENUINELY SEEING HER AS HIS DAUGHTER #WHEN DID SHE CHANGE FROM CALLING HIM ‘DAD’ TO MEANING IT #okay i’m done now

Actually obsessed with the difference in the whole Garp situation in the live action compared to the anime. In the la it’s a big deal like “Luffy how could you not tell us your grandpa is a vice admiral! This is so serious and relevant!!” But in the anime they’ve already seen this kid throw hands with god and declare war on the entire world so after the initial shock it’s just “luffy’s the grandson of a navy hero and the son of the most wanted criminal in the world? Yeah that checks out. Explains the crazy, must run in the family.”

#one piece #one piece live action #opla spoilers #opla #monkey d garp #monkey d. luffy #also the whole idea that garp in opla went out of his way to test luffy and send high ranking people after him to make sure he was ready #to follow his dreams #while anime garp literally doesn’t give a shit and only shows up when luffy fights the world government and wins #after 300 EPISODES #comedy gold #I love these idiots sm

this scene is ruining my life at first I didn’t get it but now I get it and Aughdhyfhfheujfuejfjjfjfnv

#Kusuo learning from Akechi that competition can be fun and playful and not like. Torture. #And then learning that Kuusuke despite his shitty brother-isms is deep down seeking that exact thing #but just doesn’t know how to approach it #because of how their relationship functioned for years and how they both are #Like don’t get me wrong Kuusuke is uh. Not a good brother and his inferiority complex lead to him hating and mistreating his brother for #Many Years #And I don’t think this scene functions as forgiveness exactly (Kusuo still has resentment towards him in later arcs) #But I think it’s a moment where he realizes they’re both on some level really lonely people #Who have been fighting their whole lives #And being like “hey I don’t hate you. Let’s be friends instead of enemies.” #And Kuusukes response being “I should really be the one saying that to you” #I just. Like it’s a Start. #IDK like Kusuo was completely justified to hate his brother especially after something like the catgun arc #But he doesn’t and I think it’s because he realizes that his brother genuinely doesn’t hate him anymore #Their whole deal is just really interesting to me but idk how to phrase my thoughts on them coherently #The only thing I wish this arc had was Kuusuke having a “what did I do to you” moment but it is a comedy and we already got that from tori #so ynow #i just say he had that moment post meteor #does any of this make sense #Also it makes me so emo that he pictured akechi

(sorry for leaving y’all in suspense I was grocery shopping) Surprise!! I accidentally got into Len’en like two weeks ago. Whoops! I got ideas for cool drawings to do with each of the BPoHC shrine team members (and you-know-who, ofc, but that one might be… weird lol), but Tsubakura gets to go first cause theirs is the simplest; just greyscale + red color scheme with a split background and the pose is mostly random (maybe they’re squishing Tsurubami’s little eye thing? Idk). Very pleased with how everything worked out; the line for the eye is exactly where the dividing line for the background was and the way I managed to make the vest corseted while not changing the ribbon placement is just perfect. Although I did make their hat smaller out of the aforementioned cowardice also that thing is hard to draw

#art #digital #len’en #tsubakura enraku #for those not in the know: Len’en is a game series inspired by Touhou but there’s a number of things different about it and it is rapidly #spiraling off into a very complicated story and also other game genres; also every character’s gender is officially ‘whatever’ #This character (Tsubakura) plays like Marisa but is also a shrine maiden (priest) along with the Reimu type character #Nonbinary (to me) mad scientist. #Replaces soy sauce with calligraphy ink in every culinary application. #Made a nuclear bomb once supposedly on accident. #Locked in a blood feud with their 3(ish) absurdly powerful ex-girlfriends and this has led to at least one actual war. so far #(hello high brightness users! :D) #Apparently mastered genetic engineering and mostly uses it for stuff like making it so they can put ink in their coffee and not die from it #what’s not to love #oh ya I doubt anyone cares much since this was in the tags but I got some stuff wrong due to misunderstanding & exaggeration for comedy sryy #nuclear bomb was definitely an accident cause they got really sad about it after which is soooooo funny #they do eat ink and also soap but it’s not really explained why it doesn’t kill them of why they like it #also they made an artificial human (+ several androids) who’s supposed to be an assassin and used to be an even more blatant mega reference #hasn’t actually killed anyone yet cause their first target is Tsubakura lol #and I’m barely exaggerating abt the ex girlfriend thing; they haven’t been confirmed to have dated in canon but they were quote #‘close enough to want to murder each other’ #and one of them is very homoerotic about it all the time so like rlly not that out of pocket #admittedly the one I’m drawing somewhat homoerotic art of with Tsubakura atm is probably one of the other two but whateverrrr #it still fits Arde well enough #*mgs reference

God, there’s something about the framing of Shauna beating up on Lottie. To have Lottie place her hands deliberately behind her back. To have her expressly ask the only boys to leave the room—to have her ask Travis to take Javi out of the room, as this kind of scene would normally request a young woman to be removed before the violence can start. To have no slapping, no hair-pulling, but the sheer escalation of grief into brutality. To pull no punches. And to cut in all these slow motion scenes of the women they become—traumatized, grief-stricken, lonely, guilty, dying—dancing, laughing, letting the snow wash away the blood and the pain for a little while. Letting the friendship montage together with the violence. It’s poetic, and it’s awful, and it’s perfectly done in the most haunting sense.

#yellowjackets #yellowjackets spoilers #yj meta #I love this show so much #I love the melding of tragedy and comedy #I love the sacrifices these girls make for one another even when they’re destructive and awful #I love that Shauna doesn’t trust Lottie—maybe trusts her the least right now because she believes Lottie orchestrated her grief #and so Lottie offers herself up. I won’t fight back. it’s not for me to fight back. I’m giving you something to hit because #you can’t hit loss. you can’t hit grief. but you can break your hands trying. #and to intersect all of this with their adult selves at the first party any of them have allowed themselves in ages #a genuine letting go. a genuine reminder that they did and do care for one another #even under all the blood and the misery and the memories no one wants #they brought that darkness back but they also brought back some sliver of who they were Before #and this is the first time we truly get to see their 40 year old selves linger on that

Oh. I am thinking about not only all the people Robin would’ve seen die in his afterlife, but the people he would’ve seen born, and watched as they grew up. Did he see all the plague ghosts as care free children? Was he reminded of his own children? And what about Mary? Did he see her as a weird little girl, talking to animals, helping her mother in the garden and learning how to weave baskets? Did he see Humphrey as an awkward teenager, nervous and sweating in his finery as he met his betrothed for the first time? Did he watch Kitty time and time again as she hid in the garden, talking to the statues as she waited for her sister to finally come find her? Oh. Oh my god.

#I’m sorry my brain just. takes this silly comedy and goes What if Suffering actually #bbc ghosts #Robin the caveman #bbc ghosts robin #kitty bbc ghosts #mary bbc ghosts #humphrey bone #and the answer is Yes. but also these were the blink of an eye for him #I reeeaalllllyyyyy like the US lore addition of some kids being able to see ghosts and thinking they’re imaginary friends #would Love that for Robin #he doesn’t give Paternal vibes but he would make a hell of an imaginary friend

Man remember that time Talia tried to get Slade to think that he was Damian’s dad and Slade was like “Nuh-uh” and Talia was like “Ah, well. Nevertheless.”

And now it turns out they do have a (secret test tube) baby.

Oh except no ‘cause he’s dead (for now).

DC is fucking wild.

#is that one of those storylines we’re not supposed to talk about? #because I think it’s hilarious. #talia al ghul #slade wilson #damian wayne #i know at the end of the arc it was like ‘AND JUST SO EVERYONE KNOW’S Bruce Wayne IS Damian’s dad FOR REALSIES #but consider—no he isn’t. #i will forever go with ‘every batkid is a secret bio child of Bruce Wayne *except* Damian.’ #Damian is obviously Jason’s kid. #especially now that they have added canon weird test tube fast growth nonsense. #look it would just be HILARIOUS and would make so many people SO ANGRY. #yes it doesn’t even make sense how all the batkids could be Bruce Wayne’s secret children. #i don’t care. #even Steph? yes her too. #‘it ruins the whole found family’ blah blah idc I’m in it for the comedy. #Damian would be so SPITTING mad that he wasn’t AT LEAST Dick’s bio-kid. #Damian: THE DEAD ONE?! I’M THE DEAD ONE’S CHILD???!!!! #Steph: Hey I died too! #(Jason: that’s no way to talk about your father young man now go to your room.) #(Damian: *RAGE*) #Steph would be just as indignant at being Bruce’s kid. #Steph: *jabbing her finger at Bruce* HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?!?!! #and yes it *would* be weird that Steph and Tim were together for—uh—a while. #Tim: *arms curled around his knees* it’s fine…it’s Luke and Leia… #Steph: *grabbing his shoulders and shaking him—spit flying from her mouth* TIM! LUKE AND LEIA DIDN’T FUCK!!! #Everyone present: *takes untold amounts of psychic damage* #(I actually think Jason would be really cute as Damian’s dad.) #(outside of everyone’s psychic damage.) #Bruce: oh it was a weird test tube thing right? #Jason: …

pixal, making her new body look butch as fuck bc she’s definitely just committing to nya’s bit and keeping an ironclad secret identity, no other reason: hehe he. hehe :]

#text✨ #pixal ninjago #ninjago #let 👏 pixal 👏 be 👏 masc👏 #it’s what she deserves. you cannot tell me her samurai body is not more androgynous #both bc plot (she would 100% see it as a necessity and spends significant amounts of time!! out of the mech!!unlike nya!!she’s enjoying it!) #and bc Robot Identity Shenanigans #also also i think she and nya would both think it’s funny that people keep assuming Sam X is male. do not underestimate the comedy here #her getting to pick her gender is v v important to me and i DO think borg would want to give her that agency when he first built her #and thus that’s why her og body is feminine. hell yeah agency baby #but also!!! identities change!!!! people grow and learn more about themselves!!!!! she doesn’t age but she *can* make decisions about how to #present herself in ways few others can. she deserves this #yes inspired by that one post about pixal’s new body being built like a nokia but Aesthetic wise this time #the discord folks talking about how pixane is Every identity. so so so true thank you for the queer robots of all time #i also think pix deserves ze/hir pronouns but i will refrain from projecting more. masc she/her pix with longhair can be enough

cas’s every other line of dialogue in chapters 1-8: vampires are infinitely superior to humans you are the prey and we are the predators i am so sexy and dangerous i jump off cliffs for fun i kill and murder people and no one tells me shit about it i could end you with a thought

gabe, teaching mc how to defend themselves against vampires: ya you just gotta plant your feet :)

#LIKE? THE DELUSION 😭 #i get that the self defence diamond scene is just there for the romantic tension blah blah it’s there in all action oriented choices books #but they spend the entire story prior to it establishing that vampires are so much stronger than even the strongest human #that the only thing preventing the complete extinction of humanity is the silly little magic charm bracelet #and the good nice vampire laws made by the good nice vegan vampires. #it truly does make it seem like gabe is not living in reality and it makes them SO incredibly funny. #you guys know that tiktok meme of the comment that’s like ‘how do you stay so positive?’ #and the response is ‘delusion’? that’s gabe. #society if i wrote immortal desires and it was a black comedy. pixelberry doesn’t understand her like i do. #maeve speaks #choices #playchoices #pixelberry #immortal desires #choices immortal desires #choices id #cas harlow #cassius harlow #cassie harlow #cas x mc #gabe adalhard #gabriel adalhard #gabriela adalhard #gabe x mc

“now this is real horror, it makes you uncomfortable and doesn’t rely on cheap jumpscares” would it kill you to stop being such a prick and have fun for once. could you try anyway

#in case it wasn’t clear my point here is that its really annoying to find an intriguing piece of horror media and see that all anyone really #wants to talk about is how good it is because it doesn’t use jumpscares or other such ‘cheap tricks’ to frighten/unnerve you #is it true that some horror movies/franchises overuse jumpscares(& such) to the point where they lower the value of the film? #yes. especially when mainstream corporations try to capitalize off horror. #are there jumpscares that add to the film and fit the tone of the movie? yes. especially in horror comedies (which i’ve noticed tend to get #taken less seriously than films with little to no comedic elements. but that’s not the point right now) #so to summarize #a horror medias usage of jumpscares is not a black-and-white indicator or the films worth because not all jumpscares are created equal and #pointing out that a piece of horror media you like doesn’t use jumpscares(and using that to show how ‘good’ it is) doesn’t make you sound #smart- you sound like a snob and i no longer want to converse with you #marble shoot #horror #horror movies

I know Alfendi being Layton’s biological son doesn’t make much sense if you consider that, according to the timeline, Alfendi would have had to have been at least 4 by the time of Last Specter, and Layton never mentions having a son (bc he didn’t exist until after game 5)

But now I’m considering the idea that Alfendi is his biological son, and Layton’s taking care of him during all the games, it’s just. He never mentions him. At least not in what we see

Just like. He has a son, he just never mentions it. And so no one knows he has one (well maybe Luke, Emmy, Flora and Rosa, but that’s only after the fact)

And then just some time later he’s talking with one of his friends (maybe Randall and co or Desmond, maybe someone else), and he casually mentions Alfendi, and they’re just like “wait you have a SON?!”

#granted that probably would make him more of a neglectful parent #considering he doesn’t take him with him (though you could justify it as being too dangerous) #and this would be especially true in AL when he leaves for I believe around 6 months is the consensus #but for the sake of comedy shhh #just don’t think about it #but imagine being Desmond years after the fact learning you’ve had a nephew this whole time #or Bronev learning he has another grandchild #or Randall finding out that Layton has had a kid this whole time #for some reason I can only imagine his reaction being “Hershel you got laid?” #to Layton’s disdain #but anyways #professor layton #hershel layton #alfendi layton #random stuff
