...eigentlich müsste man mal sämtliche DDF-Folgen dem Bechdel-Test unterziehen. Ich glaube, so einige der alten Folgen (aber nicht nur die) würden da krachend durchfallen.

Psycho Analysis: He-She
Tumblr media
(WARNING! This analysis contains SPOILERS)
The public domain is filled to the brim with some of the best and most fascinating characters that you, dear reader, can use without issue in your very own stories! Nothing can stop you from slapping Dracula, the Martians from War of the Worlds, Gilgamesh, Cthulhu, and Sherlock Holmes into some big stupid crossover story! And if you plumb the depths of the public domain you’ll find even cooler and wackier characters who had their licenses expire ages ago. Why not put Six-Gun Gorilla or Stardust the Super Wizard into your works? You’ll get a lot more points for originality there.
But sometimes when you go deep into the depths of free-to-use characters, you find… Well, you find stuff like He-She.
In 1943’s Boy Comics #9, the world was given an answer to Two-Face that nobody had asked for, mainly because he’d only existed for about a year. But did Two-Face have the greatest fucking tagline ever?
Tumblr media
I don’t think so! Still, the name alone might make you raise an eyebrow, and the mere concept sure does seem a bit… iffy in this day and age. I imagine there’s a reason I discovered this character through lists of old comic villains who are incredibly offensive (for some reason, Snowflame kept appearing on those lists too, even though there is nothing offensive about him except how much cooler he is than every other villain ever), although… is that really fair?
Motivation/Goals: All they want is money, money, money. Ain’t it funny? I mean, honestly, what do you expect from the villain in a Golden Age comic book? All the villains back then either wanted boatloads of cash or to destroy the city, with no in between. We wouldn’t get cool motives like “turn the population of New York into dinosaurs” or “Go on a gorilla rampage” until later. Most villains, however cool they appeared, were fueled by simple greed back in the day.
Final Fate: So, uh… They get executed for their crimes.
Tumblr media
Like, what, they committed a murder and stole some money? Does that really warrant the death penalty? I’m thinking there was some other reason He-She got put to death...
Best Scene: Over the span of two pages, He-She uses their better half to seduce Crimebuster and then some random guy into doing their bidding. There’s just something genuinely hilarious about a villain using the exact same ploy twice in a row and having it be effective both times, especially since it’s one of the most transparent and silly ones ever used.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Best Quote:
Tumblr media
Final Thoughts & Score: There is just so much to unpack here, and yet at the same time so little.
Let’s start with the obvious question: Is He-She offensive? Well, they refer to them as an “it” right off the bat, which isn’t particularly great, and we have our police character acknowledge there are people like them… in circus freak shows. Crimebuster is a little nicer in the end, saying they’ll pay for “his or her crimes,” but yeah, it’s not exactly tasteful by modern standards.
Of course, considering when this was made, it genuinely could have been a lot worse. Golden Age comics were rife with problematic characters, and by those standards He-She could have been some walking transphobic stereotype. But being trans wasn’t really the big topic it is today; I don’t really see He-She as being any sort of commentary on gender identity or trans people beyond having a name that is incredibly unfortunate with the benefit of hindsight because I really don’t think it was an issue mainstream enough to mock. I’m not going to pretend like this is tasteful or well done—it’s definitely not—but if they were genuinely trying to be transphobic it doesn’t really come off that way. He-She is just a generic criminal with a very weird gimmick that has aged a bit awkwardly.
And that’s really the long and short of it right there: He-She is, ultimately, a generic criminal. If not for their absolutely bizarre premise and design, I think they would be completely unremarkable. And even the gimmick falls a bit flat because it is truly poorly implemented into the story. He-She marries a landlady within the first page of the comic, but it’s only after their marriage during a big fight that their wife finds out that they’re He-She. Did she just never once see the other side of their face? Did they not kiss them at the wedding? Is the trench coat and hat really that great of a disguise? The entire plot would collapse if anyone bothered to look at He-She from the other side. Do they have some superhuman ability to make people never question why they always stand so you can only see their profile?
There are a few humorous moments like the aforementioned seduction trick, but the gimmick isn’t utilized well beyond that. What we’re stuck with is a historical curiosity that’s too bland to be offensive, too tasteless to garner a fanbase, and just a baffling creation in its own right. 4/10 seems about right. But that’s where you, dear reader, come in!
You see, as He-She is in the public domain, you can take them and put them in your own stories, free of charge! Give them complex motives and deeper characterization! Give them a more appealing design, or at least have their odd physical condition make a bit more sense! And most importantly, change their fucking name and write them with respect! Literally nothing is stopping you from rehabilitating this bizarre piece of comic history!
Except for the fact that, you know, He-She sucks. But that's why you gotta make them better.

Watchmen Headcannon
(Long post warning) 
 The true reason Rorschach and Nite Owl worked so well together and made such a good team was because both of them were Batshit crazy. 
Nite Owl might have been more subtle about it, but (when they first met) he was just as chaotic and insane as Rorschach.
On top of that, they were team undiagnosed neurodivergents.
Most fans agree that (intentionally written to be or not) Rorschach is an autistic coded character. What I have seen less commented on is Dan’s coding*. As said by @goawaypleasecryingemoji, there is “no way in HELL this boy [Dan] is neurotypical,” (https://www.tumblr.com/goawaypleasecryingemoji/706785898072866816/no-way-in-hell-this-boy-is-neurotypical?source=share). This got me thinking and eventually my mind decided that Dan has ADHD.
I headcannon this, partially, because I also have ADHD.
Dan Dreiberg may have been nicer than Rorschach but but, in the long run, he was not that much easier to get along with. Young Dan was someone to be taken in small doses.
He would initially be relatively quiet and focused for most team-ups, then someone would casually ask about the owl theme and Dan would spend the next 6 hours info-dumping. (He did his best to not overwhelm people and managed it during missions, but once he got started he had a really hard time stopping.) There was no getting a word in edgewise, no stopping him, and no escape. Other heroes learned to be very careful around the O-word... and B-word (bird), W-word (wings), F-word (feathers), etc. An official handbook on working with Nite Owl was developed.
Rule #1: no bird terminology around him unless absolutely necessary.
He would get distracted by cats in trees and kids who dropped their ice-creams. To most, it was very endearing but not when they were the middle of a mission (especially stealth missions). This was easier to pull him back from... if the person caught it in time.
Rule #8: Be aware of children and helpless animals. If any are found in close proximity of Nite Owl (≈20ft) keep an eye on him. He may get distracted and bolt. Amendment #8a: Rule amended to include elderly ladies. #8b: and elderly men... #8m: Just keep an eye on him period. Please.
Although a great hero and an amazing human being, he was also an adrenaline junkie. He had fun punching badies and dramatically swooping down from roof tops. This lead to some less than pleasant experiences, especially in his early years. Sometimes he got in over his head, other times he miscalculated the height/slipperiness of buildings, and then he often just tripped over his cape (no matter what he refused to give up the design choice).
Rule #15: When going over plans before hand, remind Nite Owl to be cautious before jumping into situations. If he complains, bring up incident #3. Amendment #15a: We must continue our efforts to convince Nite Owl to remove the cape from his costume at least until after he finalizes the design. #15a: I don’t mean to be disrespectful, but the cape looks cool and you can pry it from my cold, dead corpse. Besides, Adrian wears also wears a cape and you don’t complain about his fashion sense. -NO🦉 #15b: That is because his has never cause him to trip and *redacted* (see incident #3). -SS🚬 #15c: Please do not amend the guide book unless is to add agreed upon additions. Do not use it to complain or argue. Dan, you should not be allowed to amend at all.
Rule #16: Dan is forbidden from amending this guide book. Amendment #16a: Rorschach is also forbidden from adding amendments.
Then there are his gadgets. Don’t forget that he was the one who decided to make a giant, wingless owl ship that breaths fire. This was certainly not the end of his creations. Daniel and Rorschach would be working late on a case and Dan would suddenly shoot up and be like, “Hey! What if I weaponized silly string” and Rorschach would basically say “do it” hyping him up (Rory discovered the usefulness of Dan’s crazier sounding inventions long ago). They were both very... enthusiastic about testing Dan’s creations. If it wasn’t for their morals and strict “no kill rule,” they probably would have blown up New York several times over.
Rule #2: Remember, “Archie” does not have a cigarette lighter, but it does have a flame thrower. Do not forget incident #5.
Rule #33: Do not try to stop Nite Owl from creating testing new inventions. Amendment #33a: If one truly becomes a problem, tell Rorschach. He might be difficult, but he is currently the only one Nite Owl will listen to. #33b: Ignore amendment #16a. Nite Owl has somehow indoctrinated Rorschach and the latter will no longer see reason. All we can do now is pray. #33c: An intervention has been hosted and Nite Owl has agreed to the agreed upon terms. #33d: Cowards -R📔
Daniel was generally more level headed but, depending on the case, he could be just as obsessive a Rorschach. One minute Dan would be holding his partner back and the next the two would be like this:
Tumblr media
Rule #62: If Rorschach comes to you obsessing over a case, feel free to take his words with a grain of salt and make sure to consult with Nite Owl. If Nite Owl is also obsessing over it, listen. Forget that Rorschach is an asshole. Obey every word he says. This is not a drill. (Remember they that shall not be named.)
Young Nite Owl had many other odd traits and caused experienced many wacky hijinks. He did bird mating dances to annoy people (link). He would make funny faces behind Rorschach’s back during interrogations. He once went out on patrol dressed as a turkey for Thanksgiving to “mix things up”. The list goes on.
Nite Owl may have been the only one willing to put up with Rorschach, but Rorschach was the only one willing to put up with him, who let him ramble in between missions, kept him focused on stakeouts, hyped up his (more useful) gadgets, and shared Dan’s crime hyper-fixation.
They were still very different people who balanced each other out. Rorschach’s paranoia with Nite Owl’s naivety. Nite Owl’s “softness” with Rorschach’s ruthlessness. Etc. But they also were just the right amount of crazy in all the right places. It allowed them to get along and work together for at least a decade.
Over the years, Nite Owl mellowed out quite bit. Perhaps he finally got diagnosed, found better methods to help himself focus, gained more experience, and move on to new hyper-fixations. Sadly, trauma attributed to this more so. Years of hero work took a toll on him and the excitable attitude he once had became harder to maintain. Meanwhile, Rorschach grew more unstable. He went from eccentrically crazy to genuinely insane. He became more and more unreasonable, stopped seeing the good in people, and leaned further into his more toxic beliefs.
With the decay of what was once Dan’s best friend, the two changed in drastically different directions with Dan (metaphorically) running from the crazy and Rorschach completely giving into it.
Traits that brought them together were also the ones to tear them apart.

Wilma West became owner of the eponymously initialled WW ranch after the sudden death of her father. Like Rhoda Trail, Dale Evans, Buckskin Belle and Annie Oakley, Wilma frequently got involved in adventures that saw her taking on various outlaws, rustlers, gunmen and assorted owlhoots and usually winning the day, despite having no “official” role in frontier law enforcement. As a novice female ranch owner, Wilma was aided and abetted by a cast of supporting characters such as Sonora Sam and Pegleg Pete, as well as the sheriff of Mesa City, the nearest settlement to Wilma’s ranch. Blonde and beautiful, Wilma eschewed the shirt and pants sported by fellow ranch-owning Western gals, such as Rhoda and the latter-day Annie, in favour of a tight fitting buckskin dress and incongruously blue stetson. Although Wilma was a tough businesswoman and a good shot, she was also a veritable damsel in peril. Barely an adventure took place without Wilma being captured, kidnapped, tied up and generally abused before eventually being rescued. In this respect she is barely a dominant female character at all, but in the story featured on the page above, she does at last get to do the tying up for a change when she and Samora Sam succeed in getting the drop on their guard in order to escape the bad guys’ captivity.
Wilma appeared in all ten issues of Western Crimebusters in 1950-52. The title was written and illustrated by Keats Petree and Don Tallant. The page featured here is from the story Wilma West - The Range Runs Red, Western Crime Busters #8 (December 1951).

WHAT FORM WOULD YOUR DAEMON TAKE?
Bat
Your daemon would take the form of a bat! Those who have bat daemons are quiet and intuitive people who delve deep into issues and see what others cannot. They enjoy the comfort of large groups but prefer to do their work independently, often very in touch with themselves and deeply speculative.
Particularly, a Yellow-winged bat
Your daemon would take the form of a yellow-winged bat! You are a dutiful and reserved individual who values patience and precision. More so than others with bat daemons, those with yellow-winged bats are devout to their loved ones and openly affectionate, though shy and reserved around strangers and new situations. They are protective of what they value — particularly when it comes to their personal boundaries, as they are anxious people who love stability.
