Injustice 2 Quotes

(All fake).

Just a few scenarios I dreamed up involving characters that didn’t make it into  Injustice 2.

      T: Oh, good, it's the limp fish.       D: Nothing personal, but you're a liability.       T: Why? Don't want me to spread it around?

      T: I don't want anything to do with you.       D: You have no idea what you want.       T: I'll start with your head on a spike.

      T: Oh, look, my teenage mistakes all in one place.       D: I showed you what you could be.       T: Yeah, but could you have shown me a more exciting time?

   Clashes      D: So what hole'd you crawl out of? T: The one I dug myself!      D: I taught you everything, brat. T: Hey, Mr. WIIILSON! This is how you PUNCTURE someone!      D: I'm hard to kill. T: Hard to get rid of, anyway.      T: I'm nothing like you. D: Not in the good ways.      T: I'm DONE with you, Slade!

    Clashes       T: Tell me where you saw Garfield! C: What, the ex got you all hot and bothered?       C: Do you know why he did this to me? T: I bet you got in Garfield's way.

  VS Raven     Introductions       T: Oh, look who it is, the one-woman pity-party.       R: The advice of loved ones should not be cast aside so lightly.       T: Ugh. Why does Gar care so much about your opinion?

      T: Wow, and people called me a traitor.       R: You mock only because you do not comprehend.       T: Chicken Soup called! They want their sob story back.

    Clash       R: You broke Garfield's heart. T: You should let him off the leash./Oh, so he's "Garfield", now?       T: Not so sexy on the inside, are you? R: I will carve out your tongue!

  VS Changeling     Introductions       R: You-- you're alive?       C: Surprised to see me, Rae?       R: No. Illusion or Delusion, you shouldn't be here.

      Ch: You just got outta the hospital, Vic.       Cy: None of this woulda happened if you hadn't broken out.       Ch: I've got bigger worries than the New World Order.

    Clashes       Cy: You've got some explainin' to do. Ch: Wish I could, Victor.       Ch: Why can't you leave it alone? Cy: You wouldn't come peacefully!       Ch: You gotta understand this ain't personal. Cy: It feels pretty damn personal.

  VS Atrocitus     Introductions       A: You'd make a fine addition to the Corps.       C: I've already served with two outfits. Three just seems greedy.       A: Ahh, then I must be imagining Nekron's influence.

  VS Mento     Introductions       M: So you've finally come back to the Patrol. Must be looking for some real action.       C: I certainly didn't come back for the memories.       M: Heh. It's certainly been gloomy without you.

      C: I thought that diamonds were a girl's best friend.       T: Not since I created the Lazarite crystals.       C: Yeah, thing is, Nekron calls that grand larceny.

    Clashes       C: Kicking up another fuss, Terra? T: But you know I'm noisy at night!       C: I'm begging you, Tara! Stop it! T: God, I love it when you beg.       T: I've got the madness in me! **cackle** C: You're not crazy, you're just blind.       T: The world won't love you back, Garfield. C: It's not the world I'm worried about.       C: It's time to go back, Tara. T: NO! I am not dying again!       T: Tell Nekron he can kiss my ass! C: We can tell him together.

  VS Black Hand     Introductions       BH: And what would the Red's orphan child seek of Nekron?       C: The opportunity to hunt down a lost soul.       BH: To act in service of death? Intriguing.

      C: So I get a whole week to get the crystals back, right?       BH: Fail to obtain them, and the unliving hordes will follow.       C: So that's the catch.

    Clashes       BH: And what drives you to serve Nekron? C: My beasts just want to hunt again.       C: So Nekron has no interest in the stones? BH: Nekron’s plans are no concern of yours!       C: And I can't ask for help? BH: We thought you a mighty hunter!       BH: MONGREL! VERMIN! CUR! C: Ain't I a stinker?

This comic just became 10x funnier cause Twitter only lets you see Damian’s forehead.

please kill this idea that just because a female character is not physically strong and does not physically fight that her very existence is, by default, a sexist portrayal of women in media.

the “damsel in distress” trope is only harmful when that aspect of the character is all there is to the character. if the writers give attention to her backstory, her feelings, her struggles, and her development, then she’s not a faceless prop just being used for male empowerment. she’s a person. a person who happens to not fight.

there’s nothing wrong with that. and to push this notion that this is somehow bad and wrong and that women should never need saving, even in war and crime fiction, is ludicrous. it swings the pendulum too far in the other direction and creates the problem of only showcasing women who are physically fit, or butch, or masculine.

people come in all shapes, sizes, temperaments, and ideologies. stop worrying about stupid tropes and focus that energy on questioning whether or not a character is actually well-written and cared for by the author instead.

QUICK QUESTION: Is the website no longer hot garbage? Because last time the website was HOT F*CKING GARBAGE and exposed millions of people to identity theft.

If you’re European, in a couple of weeks you will be denied any and all access to fandom contents on Tumblr and everywhere else on the internet. Here’s why.

On June, 20th the JURI of European Parliament approved of the articles 11 and 13 of the new Copyright Law. These articles are also known as the “Link Tax” and the “Censorship Machines” articles.

Articles 13 in particular forces every internet platform to filter all the contents we upload online, ending once and for all the fandom culture. Which means you won’t be able to upload any type of fandom works like fan arts, fan fictions, gif sets from your favourite films and series, edits, because it’s all copyrighted material. And you won’t also be able to share, enjoy or download other’s contents, because the use of links will be completely restricted.

But not everything’s lost yet. There’s another round of voting scheduled for the early days of July.

What you can do now to save our internet, is to share these informations with all of your family members and friends, and to ask to your MEP (the members of the European Parliament from your country) to vote NO at the next round, to vote against articles 11 and 13.

Here you can find more news and all the details to contact your MEP:

We have just a couple of weeks to stop this complete madness, don’t let them dictating the way we enjoy our internet.
