[maltodekstryna]

you better don't go to sleep, just rethink your behaviour

[starleska]

I see your Dick Cumbersome and I raise you: Dick Hardly from the Powerpuff Girls

SMASH SMASH SMASH SMASH SMASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OP i am kissing you on the mouth right now 🙈🙈🙈 it's been a hot minute since i've thought about Dick Hardly (haha, laugh it up, get all your jokes out now) but ohhhhh god yep. yep this guy does it for me. so sorry to the entirety of The Powerpuff Girls fandom because he is a monster of a human being, and yet...hot with it, right? 😳😳 i see your vision. Dick Hardly is the ultra-bastard version of Vic Diamond. same levels of smarm and insincerity and a willingness to cheat, but vastly different levels of execution. comparing Vic just deliberately breaking down a car to separate Thelma from her bandmates, to Dick immediately suggesting selling a trio of kindergartners to be cannibalised within minutes of meeting them 💀💀 you know me well, anon...you know i can't resist The Absolute Worst 🙈🙈 (god, tinted glasses, why is it always the tinted glasses?! am i cursed????? 😭😭😭)

if you're a CN-adjacent character with a dick joke name raise your hand real high

On one hand, I want to throw away the whole multiverse concept and just give the Powerpunk Girls a creator from the canon universe (*coughDickHardlycough*) so I don't have to complicate things for my fic(s).

But, on the other hand, a multiverse as a concept/trope is very popular at the moment and it's still cool if I implement it right.

Complete Monstober Day 21: Dick Hardly

This, folks, is the face of evil! Making your world's version of the Devil look like a saint by comparison takes a lot of skill! Here's his TV Tropes entry:

One-shot villain Dick Hardly is a former colleague of Professor Utonium defined by his greed. Seeing financial profit in Utonium's daughters, Dick manipulates the girls into giving him samples of Chemical X and mass produces crude replicas of the girls that deteriorate easily. Displaying his callousness towards his sapient creations by ordering a perfect replica of Buttercup melted down for its excess Chemical X, Dick traps the real Powerpuff Girls and slowly, painfully drains them while boasting that he could kill the girls and have Utonium as his slave at the same time. With no charm or comedic traits to his name, Dick was a monster even before drinking Chemical X.

In the comics, we see that the Powerpunk Girls are created in an alternate universe by Oppressor Plutonium.

And while there's nothing inherently wrong with that, I'd like to propose another idea that does away with the alternate universe route to keep things simple by giving them a creator who exists in the Powerpuff's universe.

My suggestion? Dick Hardly. He's one of the few scientists that manages to get his hands on Chemical X and due to his ineptitude, him accidentally creating the Powerpunk Girls could be plausible (plus he was already making counterfeit Powerpuffs for hire/profit).

I just imagine him in his office or whatever, cleaning his desk (maybe to impress a woman), and he hurriedly throws away some salt packets, a half empty, expired bottle of vinegar, and every other vulgar thing he'd might have lying around. Maybe a glass vial of Chemical X falls out of his lab coat and into the trash can and then BOOM! The Powerpunk Girls are born!

But he hates them! They're nothing like the originals, they're mean, selfish, rebellious, with a dangerous destructive tendency, and he has no problem reminding them about their failures, that they're failures. They're toxic assets ("At least the rejects are obedient"), but he needs the muscle so he keeps them around as his lackeys. The Powerpunks hate the comparisons, and their resentment toward the Powerpuffs begins to form, as well as their weird, complicated relationship with their...boss. Sure, they can't stand him either but it'd be nice if they were treated with some respect as individuals of their own right.

They witness Professor Utonium pleading with Dick to let his girls go from afar. Before anything can be done, Dick meets his demise (or does he? 😉) while the Powerpuffs get their perfect, happy ending. This leaves the Powerpunks wanting closure, leaving their thoughts on Dick to be even more convoluted. Are they angry that the Powerpuffs ultimately caused the death of their father or are they angry that the Powerpuffs beat them to it? Not even they know.

They flee from Townsville, away from anything related to Dick or those girls, living a carefree, crime ridden, crazy life of their own. Years later, they're approached by a certain someone who hates the Powerpuffs just as much as they do and are in the market for three new superpowered siblings with a insatiable appetite for destruction, since the last trio before them defied him.

I like to think that Vulcans who come to understand that Humans just can’t try to process emotions the same way as them, it’s just healthiest to let it out in harmless ways, decide that venting and stuff should be taken just as seriously as Vulcan’s meditation time, and will encourage the Humans around them to complain about what’s upsetting them

People who are used to aloof Vulcans who avoid Humans at all cost running into one comforting a Human

“-and then they said my cheesecake was subpar, and they didn’t even bring a dish!!!”

“The purpose of this event was that every participant brings a food item of sorts, correct?”

“Yeah!!”

“And they did not follow this rule while insulting dishes that were brought?”

“Mostly just my dish but yeah >:(“

“How illogical”

“That’s what I’m saying!!!”

Dark Enchantress rejoicing in the fact that she succeeded in reviving five ultra-powerful villains that she can now weaponize for her own sinister purposes: ❌❌❌❌❌

Dark Enchantress realizing that all she actually accomplished was reviving the Five Stooges and now she has to herd them like a bunch of weird, misshapen, psychotic cats: ✅✅✅✅✅

ANOTHER SKETCH DUMP! Featuring more of me playing with lineless art. Batman reborn era trio (dick, damian and steph) I miss you...when will you return from war. Also featuring Steph designs bc I've seen ppl dissatisfied w/ her current look, some good mom Talia, and Jason Todd poetry club. Duke is confused not that Jason would start a poetry club but that he'd have such mid poetry opinions. (ID in Alt)

blobs again but the birds have multiplied

Reminder - Dick Hardly is the only villain who made Professor fall to his knees and beg for mercy for his girls. Professor was willing to become his slave for the rest of his life just to save his daughters. No other villain made Professor do this.

I guess we know who's the most evil, wicked and ruthless character in the entire show.

Bruce has never known peace while watching a TV show or movie with his kids because Dick would start re-enacting scenes or demand that Bruce stay awake while perfectly mimicking actors while Jason would talk constantly explaining the plot and the characters and why this plot reminds him of [current favourite book]. Tim used to call Steph over for movie nights and they would hyena cackle their way through comedies that Alfred forced them all to watch. Damian never lets Bruce sleep (but falls asleep himself) and Bruce never realizes he's sat through the entire film. Duke loves movies, but if it's a Tarantino he's quoting all the scenes and points out specifics in his filmmaking and Bruce always gets genuinely interested so they end up replaying the movie a few times over (to the horror of anyone else present). Cass used to make every snack imaginable so she and Bruce can watch her favourite trashy films (and Bruce grudgingly admits he enjoys them). It gets even worse with the entire Batbrood together at once, but Bruce cherishes every moment.

"Jason was the happy robin" this, "jason was the angry robin" that. Let's all be fully honest here Jason was the lonely robin

[everwalldigan]

Jason: I fight crime the way god intended, with a t-shirt jeans and a dream

Dick: shut the fuck up jason you’re literally more pain killers than human right now, you’re literally so riddled with bullet holes you’d make a sieve jealous.
