Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, yes, that should absolutely happen! Wish I had a twelve-year-old relative to share it with now.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Been listening to/reading the lyrics for the full versions of the various RWBY songs and the second/third verses are a whole lot darker than the parts they use for the various opening credits.

And Red Like Roses Part II actually has a whole back and forth between "Ruby" and her mother after the part that was used in the show. [link]

ETA: Well, except for "I Burn" (Yang's theme) which is just verse after verse of trash-talking (which is kind of appropriate.) [link]

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

Cheeseburger backpack is real.

"...and then Legolas and the Hulk destroy the entire Greek army." - Penny Arcade

Well, that was another barn-burner season finale for Rebels. X is on the loose, Y's fate is highly uncertain, and Z may never fight again.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Yeah, I was on the edge of my seat as it ended, and then it dawned on me "It's the finale... Nooooooo! Have to wait a few months till it resumes!!!"

Oh, and something I saw on the commercials - apparently the current Avengers cartoon is going to do the original-flavor Thunderbolts!

Oh, I was in such a crappy mood, all week. Then I found out that One-Punch Man is on Hulu. Now I feel a whole lot better.

That Rebels finale was intense.

I like how well they made use of Vader this season. He's absolutely terrifying.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Anyone else watching the new season of The Venture Bros?

I really missed this show.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

I feel like I had something to say about the Archer premiere, but then I forgot.

Oh! There was Krieger inexplicably not wearing a shirt under his welder's apron, which was amusing but not what I think I was going to say.
