I understand the point of this, but i couldn't help but think "English teachers defending the most boring thing imaginable after forcing us to read it"
To YOU itβs bad writing. To ME itβs a very nuanced piece of work that explores subtle intricacies without outright saying it. And also itβs bad writing
OH THATS GORE!!!!!!! THATS GORE OF MY COMFORT CHARACTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ππππππππππππππππ
the part that killed me the most was somehow the "I have a guy" when talking about melvin
headcanon that matt murdock is, despite being the most outwardly unapproachable and standoffish vigilante, the most well-connected vigilante in new york. he's been there the longest and, though he tells every new vigilante he meets to "get the hell out of my city" he doesn't do it before inciting some small modicum of loyalty from the person. its mostly unintentional on his part---he's just one of those people, y'know? he draws others in even though he acts like he wants to be alone. he demands friendship while asking for distance. within five minutes of meeting spider-man, spider-man decided that DD was his mentor whether he knew it or not. frank owes him for like five separate jailbreaks. clint has been pulled out of so many dumpsters that at this point he's not sure dragging the devil out of hell would be enough repayment. the x-men love the dude because he's a weird combination of scott, logan and professor x (he's a good mentor, gruff and eerily perceptive). the defenders unofficially think of him as their leader, no matter what they say to anyone else. he met venom like a week ago and now venom is entirely willing to die for the "asshole with horns". the first time he met moon knight he saved the dude's ass, and then later jake repays that debt but really there's no count going because the entire MK system agrees that if their lawyer died it would be a fucking national emergency. he knows the avengers as well, to his own despair, and one word from their mysterious friend and they're ready to call an assemble because they, for some godsdamned reason, trust him.
Steve: we need backup. we're outnumbered. hawkeye, can you call in kate?
matt: *punching an android in the face* kate's at band practice with spidey. just a moment, ill get frank on the line. steve: *falters* frank . . . who? matt: *non-chalantly* castle. obviously. natasha: like, the man who has tried to kill you multiple times? matt: *waves it off* that's only on thursdays. we have a truse on sundays. besides, he owes me for that most recent jailbreak. steve: what the fuck
jake: *fighting hydra* this shit is way above my paygrade. this is an avengers mess. let them clean this up. matt: hang on, i think i can get tony on the phone. jake: jake: you call iron man, tony stark, one of the richest men in the world, TONY? matt: he's actually a nice dude. i think he'd assume i were sick if i called him mister stark. jake: what the fuck is your life matt: *on the phone* hey dude-
spider-man: *holds up thor's hammer* isn't mister thor off world? how did this get here? matt: idk. hold it for me, i'll let thor know he lost the fucking thing. spider-man: how? what, you have a norse god on speed dial? matt: yeah? spider-man: *chokes and drops the hammer on his foot*
natasha: damn. my suit got ripped. it'll take hours to get it fixed. matt: *thinking of how melvin was sad there was nothing to repair with the DD suit last time he visited* i have a guy
in this one it's because they were shocked by the fact he has plants he needs to tend to
I hope he drowns

ranking the best things I have heard surgeons say mid-surgery:
1. "Five second rule!" while scrubbed, after dropping a sterile scalpel on the floor (no they did NOT pick it up again but I swear everyone's buttholes puckered)
2. (spoken during the closing of a particularly long and difficult case) "Nurse - my tunes." :heavy metal starts blasting:
3. Gently to a fretful patient, pre-anaesthesia: "It's going to be okay. I promise, I've dealt with worse." As soon as the patient is unconscious: "This is literally the worst thing I've ever seen."
4. [okay this one was a med student] "Wowwww, that's so gross!!" Reg: "Please remember that [patient] is awake for this procedure." Student to patient: "Oh my god. I am so sorry, that was really unprofessional - " Patient, cheerfully, also engrossed with what's happening inside them on the screen: "Nah - it's, like, super gross, right?"
5. [another procedure where the patient couldn't be put under GA] Patient: *starts singing country roads midway through the procedure* Surgeon: *shrugs and joins in with surprisingly good harmony*
am I right with assuming he'd have a crooked smile

I don't love how it turned out but I don't hate it either. It's been marinating in Procreate for a while now and just thought I'd finish it up already
what a description of their characters
Imagine meeting the most handsome goofiest genderweird butch you've ever seen and she has a dedicated probably monogamous boyfriend who to be fair is actually a pretty cool dude and you're devastated that you can't shoot your shot. Then you find out that up until last year boyfriend was certain he was gay and then he met this handsome goofy genderweird butch and was like oh I like women. Or at least women who are also men sometimes. So I'm bisexual. Also to make things more confusing they're both veterans who are actually pretty staunchly anti-military and hate every admiral they've ever encountered and the butch only went into the military because she desperately needed healthcare coverage for her father and the boyfriend was like. A legacy military brat who realized this is all pretty fucked actually. Congratulations you have encountered modern day Mulan and Li Shang

Something I love about Claude Frollo is that when Disney was writing him, they didn't want the audience to like him. It's why his character is very black and white in the movie, so to speak, than the original book by Victor Hugo. But they couldn't just get rid of his motives when it's one of the major themes of the book (religion).
Unfortunately for the writers, that's why he's one of the best written villains- because although dramatized, he's realistic. For some people, religion is incredibly important to them. and as we've seen throughout history, people make incredibly dangerous decisions on behalf of maintaining their values. Any disruption to them is distressing, making them act out. and this goes past religion. think of a time where you were in a situation where something conflicted with when of your core values- it's stressful! you really gotta reflect, and that doesn't always work out thanks to denial and rationalization.
tldr, Claude Frollo is the best Disney Villain ever because not only is he the embodiment of a bad person, you understand his motives (not as in understand and agree, but you understand WHY he does what he does). And the worst part, his thought process is a common one.
