So here's my latest thought on D&W. Logan in that bar was not being your typical Wolverine. He wasn't being particularly aggressive toward the bartender or even toward Wade. As Wade said, any other Wolverine would have really hurt him. I think this Wolvie had been doing self-imposed penance for years by NOT being rough or loud or demanding. Or violent. He was being apologetic! And placating!
I feel like this particular Wolverine has been trying not to fight for so long, and then this red jackass kidnaps him and wants to fight. Wade stripped him down to the suit and taunted and annoyed him into putting out the claws, and suddenly he's having to fight bad guys and stab a lot of people (mostly versions of Wade, but others too), and the level of his internal conflict must have been off the charts.
(Sad, wet cat of a man my beloved.)
Also, I think Logan had internalized that fighting = bad, and then suddenly here's Wade. Who keeps goading Logan into fighting, and nothing bad happens. The jerk won't die. Can't die. Suddenly the smile in the Honda Odyssey makes even more sense. Not only can Logan have fun with someone who he can't truly hurt, this is rewiring something fundamental. It isn't "bad" to be doing this. He's not a bad person. He's just having fun.
Clark is usually very patient and never judgmental, especially when he's in his Superman suit and in League settings. But one time, he's just utterly exhausted. So much so that it only takes one dumb question from Booster for his filter to snap.
"Oh wow, an idea that bad and you still chose to say it out loud ? Bold."
The whole room goes silent, everyone too stunned to react. And then, for the first time ever, Batman lets out a real, actual chuckle.
growing up as a Batkid means saying the words “Bruce made this look SO easy” to yourself at least once a week.
things Bruce made look easy, in no specific order:
Not sleeping for several days straight
Injury recovery after age 25
Sleeping w/people without getting attached
Maintaining constant, separate beef with several different people at the same time
Liaising with the JL on dumb fucking requests they should know better than to submit
Saying no to Alfred’s food for reasons other than just not wanting to eat at that moment (injury, illness, training, etc)
Not being able to save everyone
Being the only “adult” and the only human in a room full of metas and super heroes
Rushed the hell out of this one ngl
Made a TON of Venture Bros. genderbends :D
Bonus + some of my thoughts on all the designs under the cut:
This is from a conversation I had with a friend about how Dermott and Hank would behave in this AU (its exactly the same as normal)
Ok now some thoughts on my design process
Hank: I think I drew Hank's face actually perfect, I made her so cute. I also feel like there's a common trope with genderbends where athletic characters get short hair so I gave her long hair and gave Dean short hair. I actually think the longer hair fits her perfectly. ALSO I LOVE HER BOOTS.
Dean: I gave goth Dean more Accessories than normal because normal goth dean had no fucking swag (it was besties idea to make her pants ripped). Even before I started drawing college Dean I knew I was giving her those legwarmers you can pry them from my cold dead hands. Same with the legwarmers I knew the first dean design needed a Jean skirt its just the vibes.
Dermott: The millisecond I even thought about doing Dermott I KNEW she would be 2012 grunge girl aesthetic. Gigantic shoplifting energy. Love her.
Rusty: I wanted her to look like a mean mom and I believe I accomplished that goal. Absolutely had to add the glasses strap. Very Jamie Lee Curtis.
Brock: I drew the one with the hair down first and my friends preferred the one with the hair up so I just did both. I wonder if she was a cheerleader in college and killed another girl on her cheer squad by throwing her too far/dropping them.
21: I drew 21 then I realized I had just drawn myself with bangs. Also I drew her with a blunt because there's an episode where 21 has a joint in his mouth the whole episode the other henchmen are standing in stupid poses in the background and its maybe one of my favorite bits in the entire show its so stupid.
24: 24 took several attempts to get the hair right I kept drawing it short and curly and my friend told me to give her Elaine from Seinfeld hair which I think ended up working really well.
Monarch: One of my favorites I did. I feel like this one you can definitely tell how Bayonetta completely re-arranged my brain chemicals as teenager. I love the hip cutouts, I made a tummy cutout to kind of mimic how Dr.GF's monarch costume is kinda skimpy. It's also hard to tell because of the cowl but I tried to give her like a finger waves hairstyle.
Dr.Gf: I tried a bunch of different hats but my friends liked the brimless hat the most and completely doomed him into looking like a Bellhop (more than he already did). Its giving Tyler the Creator at the 2020 Grammys. I still think he's cute though :)
Billy: I really didnt want to just draw her in a suit because thats boring. The show always gives me 60s vibes despite being set in modern day (I'm sure its on purpose) and I definitely channeled that with Billy. It took a couple tries to find a balance between fitting her body but still looking adult but I think I got it in the end.
Pete: YAYYYY PETE YAAAAYY!!! ^_^ Shes so Ava Max Coded. I also gave her giant buckles on her shoes to match his stupid ass one two buckle my shoes ass shoes.
Triana: Very much looks like putting emo boy in the Pinterest search bar. I made her thigh highs into his sleeves and I gave him square bangs like her.
Dr. Orpheus: NEEDED to make her a hot milf and I did. Its a little hard to see but her shirt has lace over the open part. I love the hair Jewerly at the bottom of her braid. :)
look at my doctors dawg im gonna die
truly nothing about house md prepares you for wilson. he's fucking insane. he's been divorced three times. he's the only person who can scheme just as well as house. he gives a patient his own liver bc he felt bad for him - a patient who didn't even know wilson's name. btw. he noticed a patient had depression bc he never mentioned his grandkids. he starred in a porno. he dosed house with antidepressants for several weeks. he allowed his boybestie and his gf to share custody of him and didn't even try to stop it. house told him to buy a piece of furniture that represented who he was, and he bought a $4000+ organ for house. he was gonna torpedo his career to talk abt euthanasia bc one of his patients suffered longer than he had to. he let house move into his 1 bed apartment bc his therapist thought it'd be a good idea. this man would do anything for anybody if they let him. he'd fucking quit his job to save a snail off the sidewalk. bro is not normal in the slightest
The funniest part of Ekko going to the alt timeline is how he casually and accidentally reminds everyone of the most traumatic things to happen to them
Like imagine you go to your future-son-in-law's graduation party after presumably knowing him for years and just not seeing him for a couple months and the FIRST thing he says to you is "remember when your husband tried to fucking murder you" LIKE???
Also, imagine your bf/situationship/lab partner/ best friend, who has spent time with you nearly every day for years and KNOWS how your sister died just starts suddenly being like "Your sister died? How did it happen? DID YOU MURDER HER?"
I love you Ekko you are very smart but "reading the room" is not one of your many skills lmfao
Girl, a Genosha behind you
Just kurtie-poo because I am proud of him and didn’t give a fuckkkkkk about the background really
