Dick: *searching for his teammate post-battle* Romeo, Romeo! Where art thou Romeo?
Jason: Shut up. Shut up! Don’t you dare desecrate Shakespearen literature you Neanderthal.
Dick: *offended* what?
Jason: heh, you didn’t get that? Dumb.
Dick:
Dick: Well, Little Wing, right now you’re walking an average speed of 3.1 mph and you’re going to fire your grapple gun to shoot across to another building but in order to do so you need to increase your running speed because the tension on the string is opposing the Normal force at an angle and if you count the weight of gravity, you have to calculate F=ma with cos of 46 degrees or else the grapple won’t latch on but since there’s a high frictional force between your boot and the ground, the coefficient of static friction is much higher than normal so as such, you need to lower the coefficient of kinetic friction so you have the momentum to reach peak velocity needed to boost you into the air and not suspend your rope so that’d be your final velocity squared equal to your initial velocity squared minus 2 times gravity times your final height minus your initial height. So in conclusion, your initial speed of run must be 5.3 mph if you don’t want to bash your head open on a brick wall.
Jason: what.
Dick: oh you didn’t get that? Dumb.
Jason: ….Bitch.

Me, before reading Dracula: Eh, I dunno about this Jonathan dude. He’s so boring in all the movies. Whatever, we’ll get to Drac soon.
Me, after reading Dracula: Jonathan Harker is an amazing character that deserves to be in the same considerations as Frodo Baggins and Edmund Pensive. He is a good-hearted and kind man that defied the typical male hero archetypes of the time. Jonathan isn’t strong enough to face the monster. Of course he isn’t. He’s one little guy against a living nightmare, but he’s saved by the love he has for his fiance. He is soft and kind and every adaptation has done him so dirty, making him stuffy and prudish to justify shipping Mina with Dracula who is more in line with the typical masculine ideals of the time. Also, trying to force a romance between Mina and her assaulter is really kind of fucked up. Jon and Mina Harker are wonderful and deserve the world.

Victor: I like your new pants! Henry: Thanks, they were 50% off! Victor: I’d like them better if they were 100% off. *winks* Henry: The store can’t just give away clothes for free. Victor: That's… not what I meant. Henry: That’s a terrible way to run a business, Victor.

Hera: Dionysus is an embarrassment Zeus: Excuse me that's my son you're talking about. Hera: Yeah exactly, how the hell are you not embarrassed by your son? He's girly, he's always drunk, he wears a ribbon in his hair for gods' sake! He always hangs out with women, because he may as well be a woman. If he were MY son-- Zeus: You know what Dionysus did just the other day? HE CONQUERED INDIA, THAT'S WHAT! Hera: ... Zeus: He led the king away in chains! They barely put up a fight! He captured war elephants! WAR ELEPHANTS, HERA! Hera: ... Zeus: And he did it while drunk! With a bunch of women as his army! With ribbons in his hair!
Hera: ... Zeus: And no one dares to challenge him, because he'll bind them in vines or have them torn to pieces by their own mother. Isn't that manly? Worthy of a son of Zeus? Hera: ... Zeus: If this is what he's like drunk, imagine what he'd be like sober. Hera: So are you trying to say that the invention of wine was a good thing? I mean, have you *seen* drunk people? Zeus: It's not the wine's fault if you drink too much of it. Hera: Look at what happened to Ikarios! He gave wine to some Athenian farmers, and they killed him! You're proud of that? Zeus: That's not Dionysus' fault. He was pretty pissed about that, actually. You think he treats his own party guests like that?
Hera: Considering what normally happens at Dionysus' parties... Zeus: I know what's going on here. You're jealous. You're still sore about Semele, so you're trying to make her son look bad. Well, your son can't conquer shit!
--Adapted from Lucian, Dialogues of the Gods 22
