The way my partner deals with my Sleep Token Obsession™️ while not being a fan himself ✌️To his credit he actually listened to the whole song.

[robocops-a-christ-allegory]

Peacemaker is a character who is not allowed to be good in his own miniseries's he can only shine as a supporting character in a 2000s comic about the legacy character for a whole other guy, as the dark reflection of another guy in a Suicide Squad movie while being played by John Cena, somehow in a TV show where hes being played by Cena again, and now seemingly in Isekai anime. Thats all he gets

[twenty-words-or-less]

Bloodsport

Summary: Follows US Army captain and ninjutsi practicioner Frank Dux (Jean-Claude Van Damme) as he takes part in a martial arts competition named Kumite in Hong Kong.

Physically impressive if ultimately mindless entry in JCVD canon. Also very gay. And more than a touch racist. Apparently typical for Cannon.

Rating: 2.25/5

dick & bruce; you'll never recover from that kind of devotion.

(transcripts & sources under cut)

Leah Horlick, “For Your Own Good” 

[You’ll never recover // from that kind of devotion.]

2. The New Titans (1988) #61

[DICK: I don’t believe this. That man raised me. I’ve gone through hell with him and because of him. Don’t lecture me about him until you’ve cared for him and loved him as long as I have.]

3. Trista Mateer, “Baggage” from Honeybee 

[I’ve gotten so good // about not flinching at the sound of your name // that people don’t know I’d still throw myself // mouth-open into the ocean // for the chance to drown somewhere you might see it.]

4. Robin (1993) #13

[BRUCE: I assumed you wanted to get away from under my shadow. Make a name for yourself. You’ve done that. Created a life. Fought your own fights. I didn’t have the right to call you back.

DICK: … the right? I’d die for you, Bruce.]

5. Yves Olade, “When rome falls” from Bloodsport

[All that matters is that you want me // Say the word & I’ll burn for ten days.]

6. Nightwing (1996) #95

[DICK: Hello?

BRUCE: Dick--

DICK: Bruce! Is everything all right?

BRUCE: There's some unusual activity in Gotham. How soon can you be home?

DICK: I'm on my way! Sorry, Catalina--I’ve gotta go.

CATALINA’S NARRATION: Of course.]

7. trans. Anne Carson, An Oresteia

[PYLADES: I’ll take care of you

ORESTES: It’s rotten work.

PYLADES: Not to me. Not if it’s you.]

8. The New Titans (1988) #61

[DICK: No. I meant why did you contact me?

BRUCE: I nee-- I could use your help.

DICK: I’m here. Anytime.]

9. Regina Specter, “The Call”

[[Chorus]

I’ll come back when you call me // No need to say goodbye]
