Really fucked up that, when they’re young, Patrick and Art are SO tactile with each other, so comfortable sharing the same space. Art lets Patrick touch him and move him and physically overwhelm him and easily acquiesces to it, if not outright enjoys it.
Then in the present, they’ve been so far out of each other’s orbit for so long, held such animosity that when they have their moment alone in the sauna, Art physically recoils from Patrick’s close proximity! It’s so painful to watch because even as Patrick’s goading him, it’s so obvious he wants to be able to get back into Art’s space. But Art has erected all these walls around himself, he refuses to give Patrick an inch or even admit to missing how close they used to be!
AND THEN we see Art and Tashi later and he wants her to hold him, to be gentle with him, and just TOUCH him. Like, he does miss that kind of close physical contact! He either doesn’t know how to ask for it or is uncomfortable being that openly vulnerable. Worth noting that he pretty much always defers to Tashi in regard to initiating physical intimacy (with their first kiss, though he does state his desire, SHE has to be the one to make the first move). And it seems pretty obvious that Tashi herself isn’t comfortable providing that intimacy, whereas Patrick actively seeks to provide it (the hug/forehead kiss after their win together in the early years, dragging the stool closer to him).
Art has tried very hard to act like he doesn’t need physical affection and even though his discipline and devotion to Tashi has made him a stronger tennis player, it’s made him a hollow person, which, in turn, has kept him from becoming a GREAT tennis player.
All of this, of course, is why the ending hits so damn hard.

Bruce dies.
An unknow threat attack the JL and take the life of the dark knight
All the bats are devasted, this time it wasn't that Bruce dissapear and most likely dead
This time he died. They have the body, they buried the body and did the funeral.
Batman is dead. Their Dad is dead.
The months pass, Dick take the mantle od Batman again but this time he conserve both robins at his side, Red hood is out of control and is only see in the cementery, Robin is more violent than ever, Red Robin only appear to work, Black bat dissapear and Oracle only contact to work.
The JL call a reunion after get in contact with a ghost who call himself Fright Knight, which said that the Ghost King request a meeting with the heroes.
The bats go as expected, an unknow entity with a unknow power is not something they can pass up, not again
The meeting goes well, they agree other meeting to discuss the latest details when-
RING RING RING RING!!
"Shit, I'm sorry, my dad is kind of paranoid and stress when I don't call respond his messages", the teen king said as he take his phone, and go to a corner before answer the call, the batkids send him an understanding look.
"Hi dad" "Yes, I'm okay." " Sorry for nor answer" " Yes, I'll tell you how it all went later" "I love you too, bye" and then the king end the call, the JL give him strange looks
"What's up? Do I have something in my face?", the halfa asked
The heroes look at each other and then Flash respond "No, its just.. we didn't expect that the ruler of dead to have a dad"
"Oh", the understanding came to the face of the halfa," yeah, I didn't expect to get a new dad either, not after mine tries to disect me" the heroes look at the king horrified as the king keep talking, "but then a new ghost just pop of nowhere and begin to help me with the paperwork, train the news, deal with the council, give me advice and support when I needed... that before I realized get a dad, heh heh" the ghost king said, the ambient grow warmer and the king prepared to leave.
A green portal opened and the King was going to step trought the portal-
"Wait!" Someone yell, and the halfa turn his eyes back "what's your dad name??" Asked curiousily
The king smile and said "Bruce"
And then he was gone

Let the girl live. Let the girl get bodily and emotionally wrecked by this Adonis of Chicago, short king, adorably faced, ripped motherfucker.

"I should've seen the signs" I feel like Stoick was basically reliving the way he lost Valka.
To him, after a lifetime of wanting nothing but to kill a dragon, Hiccup's suddenly and inexplicably changed his mind. To him, Hiccup saying he can't kill them is just like when Valka refused to and tried convincing others as well, then as a result was 'killed' by one herself.
To him, way Hiccup tossed his weapon and shield to the side then approached Hookfang while speaking about how dragons aren't what people think they are probably bares an uncomfortable resemblance to the way Valka put down her weapon and stared a dragon in the eyes and as a result was taken.
To him, attempting to do anything but preemptively defend yourself against a dragon will only end in tragedy, so he has to do anything he can to stop Hiccup before it's too late.
(And just like with Valka, he unintentionally escalated the situation by trying to protect Hiccup but only agitated the dragon, causing it to panic and react, inadvertently putting someone he loves in danger. again)
Stoick of course, wasn't acting rationally, but it makes sense when you think about how traumatizing Valka's 'death' must've been for him (and how much Hiccup reminss him of her); he watched her get taken, presumably killed, and couldn't do anything about it.

just watched Op Javier cutscenes (again) and damn I really love how Krauser goes from pragmatic, accepting his injury, and being devastated by it at the same time, to the realization that the virus can give him his life back, that he can not only heal his arm but he can get EVEN STRONGER. he can get that. and he's blinded by it, because to him power and strength is how one survives in the world, how one thrives, and once he can get that power he'll be fine again, he tells himself. better than fine.
a part of him is genuinely trying to survive. another part gets blinded by the possibilities. by his ego, because he thinks he can control the virus wherein not many can. or maybe it's more desperation, because after the injury he has nothing. maybe it's a mix of both.
and how he goes "we're merely different sides of the same coin" while looking at Leon? that is the appeal of metaltango to me. how through similar experiences they end up on opposite sides anyway, because that's who they are. there was never another option. not after the injury, at least. now Krauser knows he'll be cast aside, while Leon (in Krauser's eyes) gets to thrive, and he can't handle that.

Realms are wider than one thinks.
Idea
Disclaimer: I know very little about Hazbin Hotel and the other series.
The Hell is very overpopulated. Nothing helps. The Happy/Hazbin Hotel had some success but not enough to make a big difference. The Heaven's attempts didn't bring any desirable results either.
Lucifer and Charlie were sitting in his throne room when a glowing teenager looking soul appeared.
A... Ghost?! Those haven't been seen there for a long while now!
Lucifer is curious.
"Hi, hello," the kid opened his mouth, seemingly unbothered by the presence of the Ruler.
"So, let's get this ball rolling. I'm King Phantom, defeater Pariah, Protection Spirit and all that jazz. I'm here because I'm currently working through the backlog of work left by my predecessor and it seems that this particular afterlife is suffering quite a bit."
