During a reunion between Ash’s Kanto starters, Bulbasaur stood on two legs to welcome his old friend Squirtle with open arms even though Bulbasaur walks on 4 all the time.
If this isn’t the purest kind of friendship, then I don’t know what is.
One artist draws something, and then makes it a silhouette, gives this to another artist who doesn’t know what the actual drawing is, and they have to make a drawing within the silhouette based on what they think it is
SERIOUSLY THOUGH SHE WAS MY FAVORITE BATMAN VILLAIN
Her physical condition didn’t allow her to age
No one took her seriously as an actress
And even when she was trying to get into a happy romantic relationship (albeit with another villain) he still couldn’t take her seriously as a consenting, sexually active and romantically interested adult
That’s a lot of blows to someone’s psyche
and Babydoll is both a sympathetic villain and a formidable one
I remember this episode fucked me up a a kid.
And man, do I wish we could see this Batman again: the Batman that consoles his villains, because the majority (if not all) of them are mentally ill people. And Batman knows this and wants them healthy again, not punished and GOD definitely not dead.
Baby Doll is so underrated as a Batman villain
but her episode was perfect
Batman: The Animated Series
The story of one fucked up, traumatized little boy, doing his best to help other fucked up traumatized people.
The Batman that cares about the inmates is my favorite. He doesn’t put up with their shit, but he does try to reach out here and there and he’s as human as he can be to them.
When Harley was re-institutionalized, he got her that dress she wanted.
In the comics based on B:tAS, there was a time during Christmas that there was snow and it was Mr. Freeze’s fault, and he was making it snow because Christmas was his anniversary with Nora and she LOVED it when it snowed on Christmas, so Batman let him finish mourning before calmly taking him back to Arkham.
He never, ever gives up on Harvey possibly recovering.
Sure, Batman is going to throw punches and do what it takes to take these guys down when they’re hurting or threatening people. And he’s not going be a complete bleeding heart; he has to protect the innocent. He’s going to take them down and take them back to Arkham, but it doesn’t mean he’s incapable of being a bit human to the ones who deserve it.
Batman needs become human again
Because it needs to be here:
Remember that time a young girl with near god-like psychic powers threatened to destroy reality and the only one that could stop her was Batman because he had a previous encounter with her and was tasked with killing her to restore reality.
But instead, Batman sat with her on a swing and kept her company as the girl’s psychic powers slowly killed her.
No?
Fuck you people making me emotional
The. Batman.
This is MY Batman, not the murderous fascist they’ve made him into.
this is what plays when you’re dying and your life is flashing before your eyes
*puts this on my End Of The World playlist*
Ok @peachcrushedvelvet is 100% accurate but here are several other situations I feel this beautiful creation could apply to
1. End of the world type of experience as noted above by @nero-neptune i.e. meteors falling and people running, things exploding and desperately trying to survive
2. Desperately running through your house avoiding attackers (guns, projectiles, of some type)
3. You’re in a library and you accidentally knock something over which knocks over all of the shaves domino style and you’re running down the hallway with them falling in the background.
Everybody please contribute
4. You finally experience love at first sight, but they’re in the middle of a bank heist and you’re getting caught in the cross fire
5. You’re getting arrested in roller skates at the laundromat
6. Intergalactic space travel in the form of a gay cruise
You don’t realize what a terrible singer you are until you’re singing at the top of your lungs and the music suddenly stops or skips and you’re forced to listen to yourself carrying a note that you have no business singing.
One of the things that I’m fascinated with is how people view wildlife and natural processes.
When I posted the question, a lot of the answers belied the belief that man can do no good. The remaining answers belied the belief that animals were helpless creatures like accident-prone toddlers. (A lot of people asked if the whale had just accidentally stranded herself….and died….)
These animals have been through millions of years of evolution and they’re good at what they do. They are absolutely badass at surviving in their environment.
I think this story really appealed to me, because not only was this not related to the actions of evil humans, but also the whale died not because she was a dumbass toddler that just rolled over on the beach and stranded herself.
She was battle-scarred from fighting off orcas and and did not go down without an epic fight.
Why did they kill it though? I understand when a shark kills something, but they do it for food. Why did they kill it? Why bully an animal to the point it dies, just to kill it?
Well, Orca are wild animals.
While we think of torture and bullying as immoral, whales don’t subscribe to our ethics.
They regularly toy with their prey, sometimes for hours.
They also practice what’s called “Surplus Killing“ where they kill far more prey than they can eat, ….for fun.
The other thing is that Orca are apex predators and some orca specialize in hunting and eating other whales.
And if learning that Orcas can be cruel has shattered your worldview, you should probably avoid Googling anything about sea otters and baby seals.
Seriously, consider that a trigger warning.
They’re not sadistic or evil, that’s just nature babey
i need to leave for work in like 10 minutes but here’s my ranking of the akatsuki members
deidara. does this one even need to be explained? joined a criminal organization for his art thesis. stupid as hell. only has 2 eyes and uses one of them specifically to fuck with uchihas. the drama. the panache. he outlived his immortal teammate probably entirely out of spite. blows himself up also out of spite. what an icon.
konan. she’s cute. she’s blue. she’s made of paper. by any and all standards, she is the perfect woman.
kisame. rowdy shark man. i like that he doesn’t have a sad backstory and truly just wants to look like a shark and commit crimes. sounds like he’s constantly trying to impress your grandma. five stars.
sasori. turned himself into a puppet and could have chosen any body but stuck with looking like a twink for eternity. mad respect for that. got killed by his grandma and a 15 year old girl.
tobi. the tobi persona is actually my favorite but he’s ranked lower for what’s behind the mask. i respect his commitment to the bit.
itachi. i like that he’s sad. very easily manipulated. dumb as fuck.
pain. dramatic loser. invented nuclear warfare because he thought that would lead to world peace? 3.5/10.
kakuzu. the worst grandpa on earth. awful capitalist. should have pursued a career in embroidery.
zetsu. i never even watched to the point where he actually did anything he just weirds me out. not last because his existence let naruto yell YO ALOE VERA WHERE THE FUCK IS SASUKE which is iconic.
hidan. god i fucking hate this fucking guy. no explanation needed.
orochimaru. honorable mention for being so creepy an organization of creeps told him to fuck off. disgusting.
