Yes I giffed this scene, but at what cost.

Remember when people tried to act like Tommy sleeping on the couch was because bucktommy didn’t even like each other enough to sleep in a bed together and also he poisoned poor innocent Buck with ibuprofen

Dick performing death fake-outs on Tim: heheh, a harmless little prank :)) too easy, boy basketcase

Robin (1993) #67 - Tim: "Nightwing! Can you hear me, Dick? Please be alive. No." Dick: "Up here. You should see your face. You really looked worried." Tim: "Jerk." Nightwing (1996) #69 - Tim: "Can you hear me, Nightwing? Can you hear me?" Alfred: "Perhaps we should search for him?" Tim: "Where? There are hundreds of miles of caves. With the rock interfering I can't get a fix on him. He shouldn't have gone alone. He could be trapped or drowned or just lost or... Nightwing! Answer me!" Dick: "Right here, boy basketcase."

Tim: >:( not funny, how would you like it if I did something like that to y--

Dick, having Tim death fake-outs performed on him: TIMMMMM NOOOOO ｡ﾟ(ﾟT´Д`ﾟT)

Dick: "But the research lab at Gotham med has come up with a cure and they're distributing it right now. And you're telling me it's too late to--" Alfred: "Too late to do Master Timothy the slightest bit of good." Bruce: "That was in poor taste, Alfred." Dick: "TIM!" Tim: "Cheap shot, Alfie." Alfred: "How often does one get the opportunity?" Dick: "My heart's beating like ninety miles per." Joker's Last Laugh #6 - Dick: "[Robin] is dead? How...how do we know?" Babs: "The Huntress. She arrived at Arkham after him." Dick: "What was he doing at Arkham alone?" [Dick beating the shit out of Joker] Tim: "He's had enough, Nightwing." Dick: "Robin?" Tim: "It's me." Dick: "No... You're dead. It's a trick. An illusion. Another sick joke!" Tim: "It's me, Nightwing! Stop this!" Nightwing (1996) #97 - Dick: "ROBIN!!! Timmy, please..."

Tim: .......okay I swear I didn't do any of those on purpose. That one with the Clench was all Alfred.

Dick, wiping at his eyes: h-haha, funny joke

Tim: sorry u_u

Tim: but since, y'know. you're aware of how not-funny it is, do you think you could maybe stop--

Dick: you first

Thinking about Ema's crush on Miles again as well as the line about her preference for "simmerous" prosecutors in AA4 and given that I'm also a fervent Franema shipper I have no choice but to take those ideas to their natural conclusion:

Ema Skye would probably also find Manfred von Karma attractive.

the flaws of the phrase "are you normal about" being used for "are you rational and kind about" really becomes clear when someone says "sure, you're punk, but are you normal about [x group]?"

like. the point of being punk is not being normal by societal standards you walnut. say what you mean.

Note to Self: Panel Numbers — Or, How Saga uses panels to keep pacing and engagement

Note: I tried to pick pages that aren’t plot heavy so minimal spoilers ahead

Something that always stuck out to me about Saga was how readable the entire wild story is. The creators Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples aimed to make a story that could only be told as a comic. The bloody, heart-breaking, and often times sweet story is exactly that: something untranslatable. Ships are skulls, large mechanical hooves and characters can be humanoid ferrets, mostly regular religious ferrets, infant planet super predators, fish people, and robot humanoids who have no mouth and yet can still breastfeed

It is a wild story and despite some recent story directions choices that kind of making me lose interest in keeping up with the most recent volumes, it still is the single most readable comic I have ever encountered

My theory is that this readability is achieved largely artistically through limiting panel length, prudent use of word balloons, and dynamic panel placement. This creates short snappy pages which average to about 4.16 panels per page

(Apologizes to the person sitting next to me on the flight who watched me go through ten volumes of Saga in light-speed to count panels. Only took about three hours 😀 )

Was thinking about eleven year old Fawn Spots Harry and made myself laugh because he would be so angry that technology doesn’t work at Hogwarts.

Full on “What do you mean Olympus has cell service and the middle of Scotland doesn’t?! It’s not even the same plane of fucking existence and calls aren’t even long distance!” Little man has not been more than a phone call away from his family since he was adopted and he is not coping well, but beyond that the lack of online databases, easy way to compile notes and write the eight million essays they’re assigned, and actual entertainment that isn’t ’dangerous flying dodgeball’ (which he does love tbh but still not everyone does) would drive him up the wall. Fuck the lack of things like highlighters and binders would piss him off. 

He would show up with a spiral notebook and a mechanical pencil and a pureblood child would pass out from shock. He writes his family constantly begging for any and all stationary they can send. He uses breaks to type up last term’s notes and introduces the first final study guide in Times New Roman into Hogwarts and makes a killing off of selling them. The older pureblood students beg on bended knee for help making their own and the muggleborns realize oh shit they can corner the market per year and subject. Harry will drag Hogwarts into the modern age if he has to do so kicking and screaming.
