I love that in the powerpuff girls the main villain cast consists of a pink hairy republican, giant sentient amoebas, the devil from the bible, a CHIMP with GUNS, and then there's the gangreen gang which is essentially a posse of homeless hispanic-coded teenagers.

Breathing into a paperbag thinking about the possibility of Elbaf digging the conflict from Water 7 back up again and maybe exploring some long-term repercussions of Luffy and Usopp’s fight that not even they themselves were aware of and and and and and-

Shout-out to my man, Tristamp Wolfwood, who despite being a MASSIVE chain smoker, has no fucking idea how to smoke a cigarette properly and not twist it to hell and back again
Ok but can I just say how great a job Larian did on the facial expressions? I've got my fucking... mute protagonist with resting bitch face over here who constantly looks about five seconds off shanking everyone who even vaguely annoys her, and still had absolutely zero difficulty reading her massive outrage when she woke to find Astarion leaning over her, about to have a lil nibble.
in "boxcutter", epileptic jesse had a seizure right after gus killed victor and bounced, and because walt was there and actually helpful instead of antagonistic about it for the first time, jesse further believed he'd done the "right" thing by killing gale and "saving" walt because now he was finally getting walt's approval even if it meant shattering his own psyche and surrendering himself to his illness
