#comic relief characters

[a-scary-lack-of-common-sense]

Hey, do any of you people remember that one tf2 comic where soldier is talking to a bunch of wooden cutouts thinking they’re real people? You know how it was supposed to be a joke about how insane Soldier is, unable to differentiate the inanimate from the alive? Am I the only one who lost my mind about the implications of that or am I going just as insane as him.

You can see how lazy I got near the end but I couldn’t be bothered to work on this anymore

Stop putting him through situations!!!!!!! Think of his blood pressure!!! Everyone stop being mean to him real quick and start clapping or I'll blow this whole building up.

Them: So you're telling me that this thing, this Weasel, a joke side character from the suicide squad movie, made your heart melt and cry real tears of pain?

Me: *battling tears* YES AND NO I'M NOT FUCKING EXAGGERATING AND NO I'M WILL NEVER RECOVER

Them: But it's so ugl...

Me: HE'S PRECIOUS AND HASN'T DONE ANYTHING WRONG GOD DAMN YOU

they were playing & milly had been planning to lean in and catch her priest man off guard with some joke, but. well. now she's forgotten whatever-it-was she was gonna say

When the carefree/comic relief character gets whumped

When they finally go quiet, so you know it's serious

When they tried to laugh through the pain, teeth bloody and eyes full of tears, but they try anyway

When someone insults them, telling them all the things they hate about them, thinking they'll just clap back with a clever insult as they always have. But for once, they don't say anything

When they laugh at first, trying to hide the pain, but it quickly turns into crying

When they've gone around the Team, making sure everyone is okay, that they got a smile out of everyone again. Only to collapse in their room, quiet, stoic. Nobody checks in on them.

"Are you okay?" No, no I'm really not. A smile. "Of course!"

When someone they love has been hurt, and they go quiet. "Whumpee?" A smile. "Don't worry, everything is okay." The dangerous glint in their eyes and the calmness in their voice makes it clear what they're about to do.

The silence in the Team after they're gone

Whumper who sees right through them. They insult Whumper, make a joke about it all, and Whumper just calmly observes them. "Ah, the joking to hide all the broken parts inside you. Has that been working well for you?"

When they're rescued and they just make a quick joke to make the situation more lighthearted, but Caretaker can see the pain in their eyes.

When they're rescued, but they're so injured and scared that they can't make a joke, making Caretaker realize how serious it is

jonas venture's most famous inventions comfort each other after his death. <3

putting this under a read more bc i know im gonna get rambly BUT: the main idea behind this comic was that i got the mental image of helper being the first person to greet rusty in the (now) empty venture compound after jonas dies and rusty drops out. after a rewatch of the series i noticed that TECHNICALLY he wouldve seen helper again before this bc we see him in a flashback opening the car door for him as he leaves college so this comic TECHNICALLY doesnt make sense but im pretending that didnt happen. ANYWAY theres just smth so depressing to me about these two.......the fact that helper is the only one whos ALWAYS with him when we see a flashback to younger rusty. this robot loves him more than his actual father and it makes me deeply upset.

Say what you will about Web of Shadows but that movie is lowkey the reason why Matau is not only my favorite Toa Metru but one of my favorite characters in the entire damn franchise.

Like I love haha silly matau as much as he next guy but when hes given actually serious character moments and developement it's just *chef's kiss*.

So I made a post theorising about Style before episode 1 dropped and I'm both pleased by how much I got right and enamoured by all the extra details we have about Style in this episode.

Style is so obnoxiously overconfident and full of undeserved swagger that it somehow flips around to being winsome. He's the very definition of "empty-headed" but in a way that makes him innocent and guileless.

Narratively he functions as a bit of a foil to Bison because they are both impulsive and naive and blunt, but where Bison's past is steeped in blood and deception and it feels like he's got tricks up his sleeve, Style is an almost painfully open book. This also stands in contrast to Kant who seems very capable of manipulation.

And while he's nearly annoyingly self-assured, who can blame him; I mean look at him. Pretty boy is so fucking pretty. I bet he rocks up to the club, leans with his back against the bar so his shirt rides up, and immediately has 3 drinks being offered to him.

I'm so glad the show makes it clear that Style was flirting with Fadel well before the deal with Kant. It both establishes how genuine his interest in Fadel is, whilst also telling us that the unhinged behaviour was all Style - he didn't need any incentive to pull the "my nipples are sensitive" line.

I also love how he's demonstratively SO BAD at flirting! At the diner, its clear he's just trying things out to see if anything will stick. He's dressed to make himself alluring: arms and side bared in that loose tank top, and he keeps making these big gestures that show his arms off. (I wonder if he drinks as much as he does partly because he starts to get nervous when nothing seems to be working. xD)

All this is good, though, specifically because Fadel would probably see more sophisticated moves as deception. Instead, I think Style's unpolished and unpredictable flirting winds up being accidentally effective because it leaves Fadel feeling unmoored.

Fadel, who is so in control of his life; who (thinks he) knows exactly what he wants and how to get it. Style makes him feel things he probably hasn't in a while. Attraction, embarrassment; but also, anger and violence. His little dramatic knife-clench moment is such a contrast to the calm, clinical way he assassinates the mob boss and I think it shows that Fadel feels his lack of control around Style - and that frightens him a little.

I like how the show signposts the ways both characters are going to have to grow as people for them to be in a relationship: Style needs to learn how to take things more seriously, to mature and temper that arrogance, and slow down and read the room/people better; Fadel needs to allow himself to let go sometimes, to have some fun for once, to face and accept the reality of his own emotions.

They both have to learn how to love and be loved, and its fascinating how ideally suited they are to teach each other these things.

And in the mean time, well, the chemistry is undeniably electric.

It’s so odd how a single ninja can completely change the vibe of this poster

It feels so, empty, like I feel like there’s so many characters missing when it’s only Jay that’s absent

Also it just occurred to me that this is an inversion of seasons 6 and 12. All the other ninja are here, but Jay is the one missing

I try to taste it/ The feeling of everything/ Try not to waste it/ So come and sit down and bring what you bring/Cause I’ll paint your pain away with everything I’ve got

Opposite of canon nightheart would be silly

Why would you—That's not—I just wanted to ask for help, why did you have to go and make it awkward???

I love you ‘ugly’ ships that aren’t played for a joke. I love you characters who aren’t conventionally attractive getting together and it isn’t rushed for the bit. I love you old people having crushes on each other. I love you silly side ships that are still taken seriously by the narrative and are shown the same dedication as the main ship. I love when an ‘ugly’ character falls in love and nobody makes fun of them for it.
