| 12 | * ''Fanfic/OneHundredPercentHero'': Shigeo gives a well deserved one to Bakugou in Chapter 11 claiming that the reason he mercilessly picks on Izuku and acts so high and mighty is because he's afraid of being seen as a weak loser. Especially if he were to lose to a quirkless nobody he constantly bullied. |
| 13 | * During ''Fanfic/AIsA'': ''Darkness'', Team Rainbow's Harry and Maj. Davis are forced to deal with Sen. Kinsey trying to sabotage their efforts. When Kinsey claims that the MVTF is refusing to aid his United States in Afghanistan post-9/11, Harry's increasing frustration with the man's shortsightedness results in a particularly thoughtful speech. |
| 14 | --> '''Harry''': "You expected an easy war, a simple victory. Go in, kill the terrorists, get out. The problem is that you don’t know who they are, do you? The men in Afghanistan all look alike but speak seven languages. Some will support the United States, others will support the Taliban. Some will fight because they know that men with uniforms and guns are their enemies. You aren’t fighting terror, you’re unleashing a monster." |
| 15 | * In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2681370/1/Alias-Mars Alias Mars]]'' - a crossover between ''Series/{{Alias}}'' and ''Series/VeronicaMars'' - with the crisis concluded, Jack Bristow visits Sheriff Don Lamb (whose negligence resulted in Sydney and Veronica being briefly held captive by Julian Sark) and informs him that he is going to resign as sheriff or have his negligence and corruption exposed, with Jack giving the following speech when asked why he's doing this: |
| 16 | -->"Not for the reasons you may think. Not because you are completely unsuited for this position. Not because you refused to give a girl reporting a rape even the dignity of a fair hearing. Not even because you put my daughter in danger, although that was a contributing factor. It's because I don't like you one bit. So take the easy way out, retire with your gains and in return, not only will you avoid jail but I won't be tempted to kill you." |
| 17 | * In chapter 2 of ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9865515/1/Alternian-Multiverse-Tournament Alternian Multiverse Tournament]]'', [[Franchise/MortalKombat Shang Tsung]] delivers one to [[Literature/HarryPotter Voldemort]] after the former lays the latter out flat in one punch. |
| 18 | -->'''Shang Tsung''': Is that it? Is that the best you can do? Dark Lord. The great, fearsome Voldemort. Bane of England's wizarding world. Felled by a single punch.\ |
| 19 | '''Voldemort''': I am a WIZARD!\ |
| 20 | '''Shang Tsung''': Even the mightiest wizard can be felled if a warrior collapses their ribcage before they can finish an enchantment. I expected so much more from you. You have been... an abject disappointment.\ |
| 21 | '''Death Eater 1''': Lord Voldemort made the world tremble at his name!\ |
| 22 | '''Shang Tsung''': How? He's about as intimidating as a plush toy.\ |
| 23 | '''Death Eater 2''': You have no idea how much power our lord possesses! If you hadn't cheated-\ |
| 24 | '''Shang Tsung''': Cheated? That wasn't even a good strike! I have seen true power. I have seen a true Dark Lord. Sorcery and might brought together in ways that brought realms to their knees in terror. Shao Kahn, Onaga... THOSE were dark lords. Your snake-faced simpleton doesn't even begin to rate.\ |
| 25 | '''Voldemort''': How dare you... Do you have any idea what I'm capable of?\ |
| 26 | '''Shang Tsung''': Do you have any idea what ''I'' am capable of? Perhaps I should give you a taste. ''(proceeds to slaughter the attending Death Eaters)'' |
| 27 | * After the guards' unprofessional handling during ''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/147403/applebloom-transform-and-roll-out Applebloom: Transform and Roll Out]]'', Shining tears into the Commander. |
| 28 | -->'''Shining Armor''': So what, Commander? You just assumed that we were dealing with a changeling when they didn't immediately agree to the spell? You just assumed that they were brainwashed and would just try and dissuade you by saying she wasn’t a changeling over and over again? You didn’t even give them a chance to explain that maybe there may be other circumstances to take into account? You didn’t give them a chance to share information that may have been vital to their safety and yours? We give them a chance to explain so that the exceptions can tell us what's going on and we can judge the situation and react accordingly! Just because you had to cast the spell doesn't mean you should just barge into places and start casting spells on ponies without giving them a chance to talk! There’s holding to the letter of the law and holding to the spirit of it, Commander! Our job is not just to keep ponies safe, but to make sure they feel safe, Commander. Ponies need to feel safe and comfortable around us so that they can come to us with their problems and we can work to help them! How can we expect ponies to feel safe and comfortable around us when we aren’t letting them get a word in edgewise? What kind of picture does it send when we start barging into schoolhouses, casting spells willy-nilly, and then carting off schoolfillies and teachers to the Canterlot dungeons because we’re apparently too lazy to handle it in house?! How are we supposed to protect them when that obviously sends the message that we are more dangerous than the criminals and the monsters?! How are we supposed to protect ponies when the skittish, hysterical actions of our privates clearly show ponies that we’re a bunch of incompetent, cowardly rookies that can’t handle a sick manticore cub?! |
| 29 | * In one fanfic series known as ''[[http://www.patheos.com/blogs/daylightatheism/series/atlas-shrugged/the-cobra-commander-dialogues/ Atlas Shrugged: The Cobra Commander Dialogues]]'', [[Franchise/GIJoe Cobra Commander]] ended up dealing with the world of ''Literature/AtlasShrugged''. To say he spends his time alternating between giving these speeches, facepalming, and stealing their gold and science is an understatement. However, one speech in particular stands out when he encounters a Gulch-dwelling scientist who has a cure for strokes he refuses to share with outsiders for being ''unworthy'' of it. |
| 30 | -->'''Cobra Commander:''' I work with arms dealers, con men, mad scientists, and even a man who was literally constructed out of the DNA of all of the worst people in the history of the world. And I have met so many atrocious 'heroes' in my visit through this pathetic ensemble you have assembled and you, sir, are [[EvenEvilHasStandards the absolute most horrid human being I have ever met in my entire life]]. You're not even a person anymore. You are a monster. |
| 31 | * Jimmy Neutron delivers one to Sherman Peabody in the [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11883625/13/Toy-Story-2 11th Chapter]]'' of ''[[http://bearquarter2008.deviantart.com/gallery/58140101/Bearquarter-s-Toy-Story-2 Bearquarter's Toy Story 2]] when Jimmy is angry about Sherman choosing immortal life at a museum than being loved by the 10-year-old Trent Cooper. |
| 32 | -->'''Jimmy:''' See, Sherman, they're not collector's items, and neither are you. You’re a child’s plaything. You…….Are…..A TOY!”\ |
| 33 | '''Sherman:''' How much time do I have then?? You know what will happen if I get torn again?! I'm done for! Trent won't want me anymore!! And then what happens next, Huh? You tell me, Nerdtron!”\ |
| 34 | '''Jimmy:''' ''(after punching Sherman in the face)'' “You know what, my Texas Accented Friend? Somewhere in that padded stuffing was the same toy who not only saved my life a year ago, but he taught me that life’s always worth living, only if you’re loved by a kid. And I traveled all the way here to save that toy because I believed him. And instead, all I found was a jerk who has forgotten what he truly was. And I told you, I hate it when people call me "Nerdtron". And calling me that, even when you promised to stop after you saved me, was too low."\ |
| 35 | '''Sherman:''' “If that's the case, then you wasted your time.”\ |
| 36 | '''Jimmy:''' "When we first met and after a certain fiasco, you were a caring leader, you always put others in front of you, you were always there for the ones you love, no matter what, going as far to be willing to break and bend the rules to save me. And here I am, trying to help you, and this is the thanks I get? I thought you were mature than that, but it turns out I was wrong about you. Mabel really missed you. And now, you're making her lose faith in you again. A toy holds more value to a kid than an icon because it's better to be loved than to be remembered or admired. And it's sad you'll never be able to see that. Now if you excuse us, we’re heading back. |
| 37 | ** In the next chapter, Goten (who reveals his true nature as he plays the role of the prospector) delivers one to Trent's Toys after he's been defeated. |
| 38 | --->'''Goten:''' You idiots!! Don't you get it? Children destroy toys! You'll all be ruined! Forgotten, spending eternity rotting in some landfill! |
| 39 | * In ''FanFic/BetterLivingThroughScienceAndPonies'', this is, as in the games, [[{{VideoGame/Portal}} GLaDOS]]' bread and butter. She delivers particularly brutal ones to each of the [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Mane Cast]] in turn, plus Ditzy Doo, preying on Rainbow Dash's fear of failure, Rarity's vanity, and Pinkie Pie's fear of loneliness. She tells Applejack that she's stupid, tells Twilight Sparkle that the others are only her friends because Princess Celestia is bribing them, and tricks Fluttershy into killing the Companion Cube. However, when she tries to apply the same on Princess Celestia, the Princess effectively engages in {{Troll}} Judo, turning every one of [=GLaDOS=]' taunts back on her. Even a psychopathic A.I. specialized in PassiveAggressiveKombat and psychological torture can't compete with [[MemeticMutation Trollestia]]. |
| 40 | * In Chapter 69 of ''Fanfic/BlazBlueAlternativeRemnant'', after Adam's defeat, he angrily lashes out at mankind for all the suffering they've forced in him and questions why Makoto chooses to fight for them when they've made her suffer too. She gives him a prompt ShutUpHannibal before grabbing him and lashing back in one of these. |
| 41 | -->'''Makoto:''' Oh boo ''fuckity'' hoo. Why don't you cry me a godsdamned river then?\ |
| 42 | '''Adam:''' How dare yo-\ |
| 43 | '''Makoto''' ''(grabbing Adam by the shirt)'': No, shut the hell up, you bastard! You honestly think that just because of what you had to go through, you get a free fucking pass to butcher anyone that pisses you off? That ain't how the world works, buddy. You may have gone through the shitter, but so have dozens of hundreds of other Faunus all over the planet, and none of them are blood-hungry jackasses like you are. You attacked Beacon, killed students and Huntsmen, both human and Faunus alike, you spout off a bunch of horse crap about wanting to make mankind suffer, and you still think you're fighting a just cause or some shit!? News flash, asshole! You're just a fucking sadistic monster! Maybe it isn't the world. Maybe, it's just ''you''. |
| 44 | * In ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'', Thor, of all people, gives one to Snape in a way that reminds him that he really is Loki's brother. |
| 45 | -->'''Thor/James''': It must just ''kill'' you to see Lily’s eyes staring out of my face, mustn’t it. She was your friend. I think you loved her, which is why you hate him all the more, seeing a living reminder that when it came down to it, she chose me. Not you. ''Me.'' |
| 46 | ** For context, Thor was previously incarnated as James Potter and he now has those memories back. |
| 47 | ** When Hera obliquely threatens Harry an entity heavily implied to be the Phoenix [[spoiler: and/or his mother]] briefly possesses him to deliver a vicious speech. |
| 48 | ---> I see your soul, Lady Hera. It’s not a very nice sight. All dark and twisted. [[TheMirrorShowsYourTrueSelf See?]] I know you, Hera Argeia. I know what you are. You think you’re special, but you really aren’t. There are uncounted billions like you all through the universe. I’ve seen your kind at close quarters. And none of you are that complicated. The only difference is that you have just a bit more power than most. You’re upset and you just want to lash out. You want to make other people suffer because, just for a moment, it distracts you from your own pain. And you don’t care what happens when you do. You don’t care when parents lose children, children lose parents, sisters lose brothers and brothers lose sisters. No. [[ItsAllAboutMe In your mind, you’re the only person that matters.]] Or you were. I’ve shown you how much you don’t matter. You turned your own children into your pawn, the agents of your vengeance. You never paid them attention for very long. You loved them, but only so long as they did want you wanted, they were who you wanted them to be. And that’s not love. [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen Queen?]] [[PhysicalGod Goddess?]] Mother? You’re not even fit to be a ''person.'' [[HeelRealisation And now you know it.]] |
| 49 | ** Fury gives one to Petunia Dursley in Chapter 4, after Thor has gotten his memories as James back, and he, Tony, and Fury have exposed the Dursley's abuse of Harry to all of Britain via the national papers. |
| 50 | --->'''Fury:''' Yes. Me, Petunia. I am very angry with you, young lady. When you were younger, I thought you would be fortunate if you were half the woman your sister was, magic aside. Now… you aren't fit to lick her shoes. Your parents would be ashamed of you. |
| 51 | --->'''Petunia:''' They supported my freak of a sister, they always did. They preferred her. I don't care what they would think. |
| 52 | --->'''Fury:''' [[GreenEyedMonster Since you were a total bitch from after Lily got her letter]], I wouldn't be surprised if they did. As it was, they loved you both equally, even if you made it damn difficult for them not to prefer Lily. And frankly, if you don't care about what they would have thought, you're even more of a hopeless cause than I thought. |
| 53 | --->[...] |
| 54 | --->'''Petunia:''' Lost an eye, I see. |
| 55 | --->'''Fury:''' Yeah, avenging the sister you didn't damn well deserve. Besides, I only need one eye to see you for what you are: a jealous little girl who turned into a bitter middle-aged woman who married a man who puts the ass in jackass. You didn't grow up, Petunia. You just got older. |
| 56 | ** M gives a brief one to an utterly broken Petunia after interrogating her about something in Harry's past. |
| 57 | --->'''M''': I knew your parents, you know. |
| 58 | --->'''Petunia''': You did? |
| 59 | --->'''M''': Yes, if only in a professional capacity. But from what I did know of them, I can state this with confidence: they would be utterly ashamed of you. Good day to you. |
| 60 | ** Doctor Strange gives an excellent and concise one to Gravemoss in chapter 77 after the latter boasts that the breakdown in the walls of reality has made him, a {{Necromancer}}, stronger than ever. |
| 61 | ---> "Perhaps. But what you have missed is that while you can drink ever deeper of the poisoned chalice of Chthon’s power, the same applies to me, to the magic of the Earth, of the Nine Realms and the Nevernever. So really, if you thought you were going to beat me at my own game, you were sorely mistaken.” He stepped forward, and as he did, he reached out. Then, with power, the likes of which the world had not seen in millennia, in his hands and death in his eyes, the ground cracking beneath his feet, he advanced on Gravemoss. “Because all you’ve done, you rank, arrogant ''amateur,'' is made me stronger!" |
| 62 | ** In Chapter 2 of ''Ghosts of the Past'', Director Wisdom gives an epic one, capped by a BadassBoast, aimed at the general incompetence of the Ministry after the Death Eater attack on the World Cup: |
| 63 | --->"The Dark Mark is in the sky. The Death Eaters are up to their old tricks. The security of Britain is threatened. All because you stupid bastards didn't do your job at the end of the fucking War! You just let them all slip away, didn't you, with excuses like 'a big Death Eater made me do it and ran away'! And now they're back. Maybe not organised, maybe nothing but drunks out for a bit of fun, but now all the cockroaches are scuttling out of the shadows and that's a problem because you know what? Voldemort's back too! He's back and he's using them as fucking puppets! I am the Director of [=MI13=] and because you lot are incapable of policing yourselves, it is now ''my'' job. If the cockroaches are going to crawl out of the shadows, I'm the one who's going to turn on the lights. I have the authority of the Crown behind me on this, so I assure you, Diggory, that right now I can do whatever the hell I like, and ''god help whoever gets in my way!''" |
| 64 | ** And in chapter 10 of ''Ghosts of the Past'', Natasha and Yelena Belova (the would-be new Black Widow) wind up in a brutal fight, where Natasha takes her challenger apart, verbally and physically, savagely tearing apart her delusions. |
| 65 | --->'''Natasha''': You have no concept of what the Soviet Union was really about. You would have been a child when it ended, and you saw the last years, the years of ''perestroika'', of ''glasnost.'' You did not see the famines and purges of the '30s, the horror of the Great Patriotic War, and the many dark days between then and the end of the Soviet Union. I saw them. I fought in the War, against the Nazis. I fought against Germans, Japanese, Italians, Americans, Britons, Frenchmen, Spaniards, Chinese, South Vietnamese, South Koreans, Finns, Swedes, Norwegians, Greeks, Turks, even Russians and Ukrainians, and so many more. I fought against creatures of our world and this one, and ones that you could not even begin to imagine. I fought them all for the Motherland. I lived through the darkest of days, I did the most terrible things, things that even you, you mad, vicious little girl, could not even comprehend, all for the Motherland. But I came to realise that the Motherland only saw me as a weapon, as a tool. We are Black Widows, Agent Belova. We were not made to be like Captain America, to be paraded, honoured, and admired, to be heroes. We were made to be used. And did you think that we were the only ones? Of course we were not. There have been others, before you, before even me, because we were always meant to be replaced. |
| 66 | --->'''Belova''': You might be expendable. They might have been. But they were weak. You are weak. I am not. |
| 67 | --->'''Natasha''': You think that you’re different. Of course you do. You want to. They make you want to, the same way they made me. They took your desire for approval, for admiration, for something even approximating love, and they twisted it. You would do anything for them, just to get a pat on the head and a ‘well done, Yelena’. And you would accept that because they taught you that your only purpose was to serve the Motherland, and by the Motherland, they mean them. They told you that you were different from the others, that you could be the best, that they held out special hopes for you. They told me the same thing, and every other girl they thought possessed enough talent. They told us that so we would strive to be the best, to live up to their expectations, to avoid disappointing them. They did it to create loyal little weapons, beautiful, deadly, and completely obedient. And that’s all you are, Agent Belova. You are a weapon they programmed. |
| 68 | * In ''Fanfic/ChildrenOfTime'', [[WesternAnimation/SherlockHolmesInTheTwentySecondCentury Beth Lestrade]] stands up both to [[Literature/SherlockHolmes dark!Holmes]] and Professor Moriarty. |
| 69 | ** For Holmes: |
| 70 | --->'''Holmes:''' "Believe what you will, Miss Lestrade -- it is of no matter to me. As is your regard for the man you once knew.” |
| 71 | --->'''Beth:''' "Then what ''does'' matter to you? The fact that because you’re now oh-so-aloof-and-alone, you’re not going to be hurt anymore by the people you love? You’re not going to have to see them get hurt or die?” |
| 72 | --->'''Holmes:''' "That was the entire point of Moriarty’s taking me under his wing, so to speak -- the man wished for a protégé, an equal he could mold into a facsimile of himself. As you can see, he was rather successful.” |
| 73 | --->'''Beth:''' "You coward." |
| 74 | ** For Moriarty: |
| 75 | --->"You're not going to win. Sorry, but you can't. It's not in your nature. You will always... beget... your own destruction, because destruction is all you can do. That is why, in the end, you will always lose." |
| 76 | * In ''Fanfic/ConnectingTheDots'', Robin trolls Sasuke while Sasuke is '''trying''' to torture Robin with the memory of the day his parents died: |
| 77 | -->'''Robin:''' "It never gets any better, does it?" |
| 78 | -->'''Sasuke:''' (angrily ignores Robin) |
| 79 | -->'''Robin:''' "People will tell you the pain goes away, that you'll find a new life, that someday you'll forget all this." (Sasuke intensifies the memory) "But it never does. Others will tell you that once you kill those responsible, then you'll feel complete, then you'll be able to live with yourself. But it doesn't get easier does it?" |
| 80 | -->'''Sasuke:''' "Do you ever stop talking?" |
| 81 | -->'''Robin:''' "Only if I have a reason to. Witty banter distracts the opponent, often causes him to underestimate his foe. "In this particular case, I can see that my talking annoys you, so I have all the reason in the world to continue talking." |
| 82 | ** Later: |
| 83 | --->'''Robin:''' "You know, it's not like you're the first person to try this trick. Scarecrow, Headmaster, Dr. Destiny… I've had more people than you'd believe dig up this scene and show it to me. And no offense, but compared to them? You stink at this." |
| 84 | --->'''Sasuke:''' "Be quiet!" (intensifies memory) |
| 85 | --->'''Robin:''' "I'll bet I can guess why, too. This sort of thing is too close to you. You understand it too well to go all the way. So. Let me guess. Your parents died when you were young, and now you've got a vengeance complex built up. I understand that, believe me. In your case, though, I'm guessing you've got some ego-centric issues—that you're somehow 'different' than anyone else because of this experience and that means you can just do whatever." |
| 86 | --->'''Sasuke:''' "You know nothing. You know nothing of the pain I have endured, you cannot conceive…" |
| 87 | --->'''Robin:''' "Tch. I know what it's like to lose your parents. I know what it is to lead a life in the shadows, trained by a man who barely knows how to live himself. I know what it is to sacrifice any chance at a normal life for the protection of others, which I get the feeling is something you DON'T know." |
| 88 | --->'''Sasuke:''' "Oh? And what about losing your entire clan? Do you know what that is like?" |
| 89 | --->'''Robin:''' "No." (shrugs) "Do you know what it's like to lose your entire planet? Your entire species? Neither do I, but I know plenty who have, and none of them are as big a loser as you are." (laughs). "So you've lost a lot. But have you ever sacrificed something? Or do you just think you deserve everything outright? Cause seriously? That's like a little baby whining for toys he can't have." |
| 90 | * In ''[[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/containment-report-worm-scp-foundation.587479/ Containment Report]]'' [[Website/SCPFoundation Alto Clef]] gives one to the members of [[Literature/{{Worm}} Cauldron]]. |
| 91 | -->'''Clef:''' “I’ll give you points at planting the joke of the Illuminati in the populace. No one would take it seriously, even if they found you! I’m going to deduct several thousand though, for three roaming world-class threats that you’ve been unable to help contain. So, what have you lot been doing beyond collecting a world’s ransom in funds and failing to actually stop any active danger?” |
| 92 | -->'''Eidolon:''' “Hundreds, if not thousands, of parahumans have lost their lives in an attempt to kill those things. You have no right to lecture us on a threat the likes of which you don’t know.” |
| 93 | -->'''Clef:''' “You… you utterly ignorant fool. You face three threats that can end your world, and have failed to even provisionally stop them. The only thing you have managed is the deaths of thousands, and a slew of broken cities. You try and play the world from the shadows, and while I give you credit that you managed to stabilize North America and portions of Europe you have utterly failed with every other single continent. You even have the hubris to look at your failures, crow them as successes, and then decry my comments because you think you’re little group has succeeded? 10 years. 10 years and this world’s economy fails. Another 30 and humanity on this planet might as well no longer be a quantifiable factor. And the Endbringers? I will give you that they are dangerous, certainly. Yet you only have three. I have seen worlds rendered sterile of all life. I looked through a telescope at a sentient pulsar that actively hates humanity and wants to see it dead. A bio-virus that could cover the earth in a century if we so much as relaxed the vigil. We have forces that you could accurately call gods that oppose us, and we locked them in metal boxes. Meteorites that could erase our world if we so much as turn off the lights. When you have saved the world, and I mean that in the most literal sense, more times than you can remember feel free to mock me. Until then? Sit down at the children's table while the adults are talking.” |
| 94 | * ''Fanfic/TheConversionBureauWorldsWhereItWouldntWork'': |
| 95 | ** [[Literature/TheChroniclesOfNarnia Aslan]] gives one to Xlestia, after she makes the mistake of invading Narnia, by throwing her hypocritical philosophy in her face. |
| 96 | --->'''Aslan''': ...only one with no faults of their own is truly capable of cleansing another of their sins. |
| 97 | ** A.I. Celestia also gives her one, through Luna. It doesn't work out so well for her. |
| 98 | ** In the WebAnimation/DeathBattle finale of the story, Celestia is receiving a brutal NoHoldsBarredBeatdown from her Tyrantlestia counterpart, who declares that she is an unworthy weakling who is unfit to rule or wield the power of the Elements of Harmony. Celestia's response? |
| 99 | --->'''Celestia:''' That very thought proves ''you'' are not worthy of their power. You put too much infuses on the ''harmony'' part, while forgetting The Element's ''true'' [[ThePowerOfFriendship power.]] |
| 100 | ** [[HeroicSecondWind Cue Celestia]] [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome reminding Tyrantlestia of said true power.]] |
| 101 | ** [[Webcomic/OnePunchMan Saitama]] gives her one as well, after she claims to be humanity's "savior": |
| 102 | --->'''Saitama:''' So what do you do? |
| 103 | --->'''Xlestia:''' What do I ''do''? |
| 104 | --->'''Saitama:''' You know. To save people. |
| 105 | --->'''Xlestia:''' (arches her eyebrow.) I turn them into ponies. |
| 106 | --->'''Saitama:''' Eh? How does that help. |
| 107 | --->'''Xlestia:''' It means they can forget their old life, and start a new one, a better one, in the magical land of Equestria. ''(places a hoof on her chest and closed her eyes. Looking utterly sincere.)'' |
| 108 | --->'''Saitama:''' But... doesn't that make a ''terrible'' hero? |
| 109 | --->'''Xlestia:''' ''(Xlestia's mane burst into flames, before she regains her composure and puts on a forced smile)'' Why do you think that? |
| 110 | --->'''Saitama:''' Being a hero means dealing with the problems at hand. But deleting their save file and forcing them to play again from the start? That's giving up on saving them before you've even started! |
| 111 | --->'''Xlestia:''' ''(loses her composure and bursting in flames)'' You ''dare''- |
| 112 | --->'''Saitama:''' [[PunchClockHero I only do this as a hobby.]] But even I know better than that. You sure you're ready for the big time? |
| 113 | * From the same author as ''Fanfic/AHero'' (see below), Dalek Sec delivers another epic one in his chapter of ''Fanfic/TheConversionBureau - [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/32753/2/The-Conversion-Bureau%3A-Wrong-universe/Wrong-Universe-%232---Deus-ex-Dalek Wrong Universe]]'', telling TCB!Twilight Sparkle exactly how hollow pony superiority is and exactly how wrong the conversion bureau's logic is, before destroying the barrier, which kills Celestia and leaves Equestria open to human counterattack. As one reviewer noted, if a ''Dalek'' gives you a "Reason You Suck speech" and it ''makes sense'', you know you really ''suck''. |
| 114 | -->'''Sec''': (in response to Twilight offering an alliance against humanity) RE-QUEST DE-NIED. |
| 115 | -->'''Twilight''': What? |
| 116 | -->'''Sec''': I SAID, 'RE-QUEST DE-NIED'. ARE YOU IN-CA-PA-BLE OF PRO-CES-SING STATE-MENTS? I HAVE DONE RE-SEARCH IN-TO E-QUES-TRIA AND ITS CON-VER-SION BU-REAUS, AND THE BEINGS YOU WOR-SHIP AS GODS. ''THEY DIS-GUST ME''.

| 121 | * In ''Fanfic/DangerousTenant'', when the Tenth Doctor and Donna Noble arrive in the world of ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'' after falling through a rift in reality, Donna delivers one to Wesker regarding how his ‘great plan’ has left him hiding in his base, talking about how he's so great when he's sitting surrounded by jars of creepy experiments and irritating people who come to the base with a running commentary of their activities. |
| 122 | * This [[http://madnessabe.deviantart.com/art/Death-Battle-Freddy-vs-Joker-Act-One-516718350 two]]-[[http://madnessabe.deviantart.com/art/Death-Battle-Freddy-vs-Joker-Act-Two-516718771 part]] fanmade ''WebAnimation/DeathBattle'' between [[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet Freddy Krueger]] and ComicBook/TheJoker has both participants giving each other RYSS's at the climax of their fight: |
| 123 | -->'''Freddy''' [[spoiler:''(after using the Dream World to remove the Joker's insanity, [[BroughtDownToNormal reducing him to a normal sane person]])'']]: Hehehe...what's wrong, [[spoiler:Jack]]? Don't like your new look? I figured you needed a look that would blow your mind. Well, mind-blown yet?\ |
| 124 | [[spoiler:'''"Jack"''']]: What...what did you do to me?\ |
| 125 | '''Freddy''': You want to know what I did? Let's just say I'm a man who feeds off of fear. And I got to admit, you were a tough one to break. Someone off their rocker isn't going to be scared of anything, right? Well, wrong. Even crazy people are scared of something and you...hehe...you I got figured out. ''(stabs [[spoiler:"Jack"]] in the leg as he attempts to flee)'' As I was saying, it took me a while, but I got you figured out. You're scared of being normal. [[ComicBook/TheKillingJoke You saw what a fucked up world we live in and decided it was better to be crazy, right? Because when you're crazy, the whole world begins to make sense and you can just ignore all the horrible things you wanted to forget. That's why you went nuts, right? The bills, your wife, your job? You wanted to never remember all that and you decided to go crazy to escape all that.]] Got to admit it's a great philosophy but... ''(slashes [[spoiler:"Jack"]] across the cheeks, leaving a smile-like scar across his face)'' but life's gonna hit you hard. Now it's time for you to get a good taste of how much life isn't fair and how it's only going to get worse from here on out, [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitch]]. |
| 126 | ** This turns out to [[NiceJobFixingItVillain backfire horribly]] on Freddy as [[spoiler:having his insanity removed allows the now-rational Joker to realize that it's AllJustADream, allowing him to pull himself and Freddy back to the Real World where]] Joker delivers a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown of Freddy in revenge for his previous humiliation and gives a RYSS of his own before [[spoiler:infecting Freddy with Joker venom to finish him off]]: |
| 127 | --->'''Joker''': So, you're probably thinking to yourself, 'Oh, woe is me! How could this happen to me? Why did it have to be me who gets to be the plaything of this man'! Well, here's the reason: you decided to fight me, ComicBook/TheJoker. And let me tell you, Frederick, that was both a bold move and a stupid one. You see, I saw your memories when you peeked into mine and [[IronicEcho I know you well enough]]. And I know for one thing [[EvilerThanThou you're nothing but a choir boy compared to me]]. So you killed all the children in ONE town? I've killed more kids than you ever had. Men, women, children, even a few animals! So you keep coming back from the dead even after these kids kill you. I keep coming back from the mouth of Hell every other week and quite frankly, it gets boring after the first six times. So you [[Film/FreddyVsJason fought a hockey zombie]] and [[ComicBook/FreddyVsJasonVsAsh became a god with a book]]? Big whoop! [[ComicBook/EmperorJoker I became God once too and got bored with it]]! I looked straight into the eyes of [[ComicBook/{{Darkseid}} a god of death who casually destroys planets]] and I [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu just laughed right in his face]]. For all your accomplishments, Mr. Krueger, in the end, you're nothing more than a small fry. A little fish who wants to be a big fish without realizing that there are sharks all around him. [[WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyondReturnOfTheJoker It'd be funny if it weren't so pathetic]]. |
| 128 | * In ''Fanfic/DeepDread'', Chichi rants at Chris, Martin, Vegeta, Nappa, Krillin, and Raditz for causing her problems right after giving birth to Gohan. |
| 129 | * ''Fanfic/DemonInFodlan'': |
| 130 | ** Chapter 28 has a very ''pissed'' Goetia deliver one to Lonato after he breaks his stance as a neutral observer in order to save the students, and before he [[CurbStompBattle starts decimating]] Lonato's army by [[OneManArmy himself]]. |
| 131 | --->'''Goetia''': '''So I had expected something worth this price I paid... yet I don't find a single aspect threatening about any of you... You thought you could challenge the Church with this!? That you could upheave Fodlan's central social pillar with this!? You would have required an army… But you couldn't even manage that could you? The best you could assemble was a pathetic band of swine herds and apple pickers, arm them with trinkets and throw them away like trash? This was your grand plan for revenge?... Pitiful. You've merely thrown them to their own graves.''' |
| 132 | ** Goetia is on the receiving end of this in Chapter 57 by [[spoiler:Sitri]], which shocks him to the core that he has no rebuttal against their accusations. |
| 133 | --->[[spoiler:'''Sitri''']]: '''I was mistaken before. [[YouAreWhatYouHate You are Solomon in all but name]].'''\ |
| 134 | '''Goetia''': I am ''nothing'' like Solomon!\ |
| 135 | [[spoiler:'''Sitri''']]: '''But you are. Observing humans but never helping them, content to watch as the cruelty of life goes on around you. That pale-haired girl [Lysithea] you brought to the hovel. [[spoiler:[[ArmorPiercingResponse You could cure her ailment with ease]] and yet you have made no attempt to do so]]'''.\ |
| 136 | ''[[[StunnedSilence Goetia freezes in response]]]''\ |
| 137 | [[spoiler:'''Sitri''']]: '''[[HowTheMightyHaveFallen There is no greater purpose to you anymore]]. You simply exist. Like Solomon you are content in your own cruelty… and the insulting part is that you do not even realize it. Your isolation from the Pillars…the defeat at the hands of Chaldea. My King… [[BrokenPedestal You have become as incompetent as Solomon]].''' |
| 138 | ** The climatic fight of the Cindered Shadows arc has resulted in [[spoiler:Lemegeton]] sensing the presence of [[spoiler:Sitri]], leading him to demand answers from Thales. That's when he learns that Thales and the others kept the existence of the 'librarian' [Goetia] from him because [[UnderestimatingBadassery they believe]] he poses no threat to their plans, even though he killed a Demonic Beast and subdued Lonato's army all by himself. Needless to say, [[spoiler:Lemegeton]] delivers ''both'' a [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown physical]] and verbal beatdown on Thales. |
| 139 | --->[[spoiler:'''Lemegeton''']]: '''''And still this was kept from me!? Because you believed what!? That you were somehow better than he [Goetia] was!? [[SmugSnake You]]!? You are little more than cave dwellers benefiting from the technology of those your betters a hundred times over! You somehow believed you could achieve anything with [[AllPowerfulBystander him]] wandering the land apparently aiding the locals!?''''' |
| 140 | * Chapter 7 of ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9037906/7 The Devil and the Detective]]'' has [[{{Manga/MW}} Michio Yuki]] giving one to [[Manga/CaseClosed Conan Edogawa]] when it comes to hiding his secret from Ran Mouri. |
| 141 | -->'''Michio''': I think you're the one who's lying. Not to Ran, but to yourself. You're the one who refuses to let her accept the truth. Deep down, you knew that if she found out who you truly are, your life will have to go back to the way it was before. Your days of protecting her secretly are at an end, Shinichi, so as your attempts to hide. All your dreams have been shattered, haven't they? Life is like that, detective. Sooner or later, the people who are close to you have the right to find out this secret of yours. Whenever you tried to make someone forget about it, it's gonna smack you down. On the bright side, at least you and I won't have to see each other ever again. |
| 142 | * ''Fanfic/TheDevilWentDownToRemnant'' |
| 143 | ** Even if it was AllJustADream, Yang tears into her MissingMom Raven for her abandonment. |
| 144 | --->'''Yang''': ...Sorry? ''SORRY?'' THE SECOND I WAS OUT OF THAT WOMB, YOU LEFT ''ALL OF US! ACTING LIKE WE MEAN NOTHING TO YOU!'' AND NOW YOU'RE EXPECTING ME TO GIVE A ''DAMN'' ABOUT YOU? YOU LOST YOUR CHANCE TO BE A MOTHER! ''SUMMER'' WAS MORE OF A MOTHER THAN YOU ''EVER WILL!'' WHEN YOU WERE GONE, SHE WAS THERE FOR US, THERE FOR DAD, THERE FOR RUBY, THERE FOR QROW, THERE FOR ''ME!'' |
| 145 | ** [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry Vergil]] hands one to [[{{WebAnimation/RWBY}} Blake]] upon seeing her take off her bow. |
| 146 | --->'''Vergil''': Why hide who you really are? Is it because you're ashamed?\ |
| 147 | '''Blake''': B-because I want people to judge me for what I do and not just who I am. That I am more than just a Faunus.\ |
| 148 | '''Vergil''': And because of that, you decided to run from your bloodline? To be yet another face in the crowd? You are given abilities that put you above the mere humans, yet never have you ever put thought into embracing them. You treat your Faunus pass as a curse rather than a blessing, and it's only making you weaker. |
| 149 | * A commonly used tactic in ''Naruto'' crossover ''Fanfic/EchoesKagaseo''. Best shown when Chibaku uses one in order to kill N and when Kazama kills Orochimaru. |
| 150 | * In ''Worm''/''DC Universe'' crossover ''Fanfic/EchoesOfYesterday'', [[ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} Kara]] delivers one aimed at Winslow High Administration when Principal Blackwell asks why a super-hero would get involved in a case of high-school bullying. |
| 151 | -->'''Kara:''' Ma'am, clearly Miss Hebert needs time to gather her thoughts. What she went through would have been very traumatic, and interrogating her certainly won't help with that.\ |
| 152 | '''Principal Blackwell:''' What would bring a cape here in the first place? While what happened was certainly unacceptable, it wouldn't require the assistance of a powered individual.\ |
| 153 | '''Kara:''' Firstly. I have enhanced senses. I could hear her screaming for help three blocks away. And secondly, ma'am, it appears I was needed, because no one was bothering to help her, even the staff. |
| 154 | * [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/382189/equestria-louds-of-secrets-and-superstitions Equestria Louds: Of Secrets And Superstitions]] gave us a few from the [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls Humane 5 and their families]] to the [[WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse Loud family]] over the Louds' treatment of Lincoln Loud in [[Recap/TheLoudHouseS2E8NoSuchLuckFrogWild "No Such Luck"]], resulting in him running away; and to a lesser extent, the relationship between Lincoln and his family. |
| 155 | -->'''Lori:''' ''(After explaining the events of'' "No Such Luck" ''to the Humane 5)'' And that is [[VerbalTic literally]] the entire story. |
| 156 | -->'''Rarity:''' Y-you didn’t. |
| 157 | -->'''Pinkie Pie:''' [[SincerityMode Of course they didn’t, Rarity. They’re probably too ashamed to tell us the real story. Even ''I'' think this all sounds too crazy to be true. There’s no way Mr. and Mrs. Loud would’ve let something so inexcusably horrible happen to their only son, or worse been involved in it.]] |
| 158 | -->{{Beat}} |
| 159 | -->'''Pinkie:''' Wow! So much for family. |
| 160 | -->'''Fluttershy:''' I have heard stories about children being abandoned by their families. All of them very sad. |
| 161 | -->'''Rarity:''' Usually it’s because they can’t afford to take care of the child or just don’t love it. |
| 162 | -->'''Applejack:''' But this. This is different. The reason behind this one is beyond unthinkable. |
| 163 | -->'''Rainbow Dash:''' I-I can’t believe this. |
| 164 | -->'''Lynn Sr.:''' Now we know how that sounds- |
| 165 | -->'''Pinkie:''' [[SuddenlyShouting ARE YOU ALL LOCO IN THE COCO!?!]] |
| 166 | -->'''Lisa:''' Well, to be fair, Lincoln kinda brought some of it on himsel- |
| 167 | -->'''AJ:''' It doesn’t matter what he did anymore! [[DisproportionateRetribution Because that’s nothin’ compared to what y’all did ta him!]] |
| 168 | -->'''Fluttershy:''' It’s still wrong! |
| 169 | -->'''Sweetie Belle:''' ''(whispering to her friends)'' And I thought ''we'' were the worst people in the world after the Anon-a-Miss incident. |
| 170 | -->'''Granny Smith:''' What kind of folks throw out one of their own over some crazy superstition?! |
| 171 | -->'''Maud:''' That’s really low. |
| 172 | -->'''Big Mac:''' Eeyup. |
| 173 | -->'''Rainbow:''' No wonder he ran away. If I were treated like that, I’d run away too. |
| 174 | -->'''Rarity:''' And you two call yourselves adults. |
| 175 | -->'''Luna:''' Look, dudes. We realize now that the way we treated our bro was wrong. |
| 176 | -->'''Lori:''' We literally became so concerned with the amount of luck in our lives that we didn’t care how much it was hurting him. |
| 177 | -->'''Lucy:''' If I had a heart it would be aching. |
| 178 | -->'''Lisa:''' I admit I have given those who follow the path of science a bad name. |
| 179 | -->'''AJ:''' Ah’m surprised someone as smart as you, Lisa, actually fell for that kind of phony baloney. But ah’m also very upset with you, Lori, 'cause you’re the oldest. Y’all should know better than [[BigSisterBully ta treat your own family like that]]. Especially after tellin’ Lincoln that [[IronicEcho ‘this family supports each other’]]. It’s clear to all of us that ya don’t truly know how to be a true oldest sibling. Right Big Mac? |
| 180 | -->'''Big Mac:''' Eeyup. |
| 181 | -->'''AJ:''' Well, lucky-er, I mean, ''good'' for you, Big Mac here can give you a few tips on how ta ''be'' one. |
| 182 | -->'''Pinkie:''' I know someone too. ''(Pinkie uses her phone to call her big sister)'' Hi Limestone, it’s Pinkie, I’m going to need you to make a quick trip down here tomorrow as soon as possible. Yeah, I know you’re busy with the farm, but it’s really important. I have someone who really needs some lessons on how to be a good oldest sibling. It’s a long story, but I’ll explain it tomorrow. So will you come down here? Thank you, I Pinkie-Promise you this is very important and worth it. Bye. |
| 183 | -->'''Rainbow:''' And you, Lynn. What is wrong with you? You lose one little game and it’s all your brother’s fault?! |
| 184 | -->'''Lynn:''' But I’ve never lost a game before in my life, I’m Lynn Loud Jr. That was the first game of mine he ever attended. The game after that, he wasn’t there and I won. Then the game after that was when he snuck in disguised as our team’s mascot and I won. I believed the mascot suit must’ve cancelled out his bad luck. Why doesn’t anyone else understand that?! How would you explain that? |
| 185 | -->'''Rainbow:''' Okay, champ. How about tomorrow you prove your ‘amazing’ skills to all of us. And since your brother won’t be around, you won’t have to worry about any bad luck. Okay? |
| 186 | -->'''Lynn:''' ''(confused)'' Okay. |
| 187 | -->'''Rainbow:''' Good, I’ll make a few calls and tomorrow we’ll see who’s the better athlete. ''And'' person. |
| 188 | ** Later, while Big Mac and Limestone try to teach Lori how to be a better big sister, Lori's behavior doesn't put her in a good light. Having had enough, Limestone tells Lori off. |
| 189 | --->'''Limestone:''' Is treating everyone like dirt the only thing you know?! I think I see what kind of person you are. You think that just because your ma and pa brought you into this world first that you’re better than the rest that followed you. Well, I got news for you, phoneaholic! There are A LOT more important things about being the eldest sister than getting your way all the time. |
| 190 | --->'''Lori:''' [[SincerityMode There is?]] |
| 191 | --->'''Limestone:''' ''(to Big Mac, disappointed)'' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck We got a lot of work to do]]. |
| 192 | --->'''Big Mac:''' ''(also disappointed)'' Eeyup. |
| 193 | ** After Rainbow Dash and Lynn's game, Rainbow Dash wins. Lynn blames Lincoln, who she insists is there, for her defeat. The Louds' parents agree with Lynn, surprising the Five. Rainbow, angry, gives one speech to Lynn; as the other four give one to the parents. They, along with Lynn, [[HeelRealization finally realize their mistakes.]] |
| 194 | --->'''Rainbow:''' Lynn, your brother’s not here. |
| 195 | --->'''Lynn:''' [[NeverMyFault No, he has to be! How else could I lose?]] Please, you gotta help me find him, then I can prove to everyone that I’m right! |
| 196 | --->'''Rainbow:''' This is your problem, Lynn! When something doesn’t go your way, it’s always someone else’s fault. |
| 197 | --->'''Lynn Sr.:''' Now hold on— |
| 198 | --->'''Applejack:''' You two are gonna stand right here and watch her do what y’all shoulda’ done a long time ago. |
| 199 | --->'''Rainbow:''' Now let’s take a moment to examine other factors here. We decided to have this game yesterday so you barely had enough time to practice, you were going up against people who’ve had more experience than you, you wasted most of your energy performing those silly good luck rituals, and you hardly gave any of your teammates a chance to play, not to mention the state they’re in. What happened? You all looked fine when I assembled you here. |
| 200 | --->'''Cloudy Kicks:''' Our so-called team captain wouldn’t let any of us use the bathroom! |
| 201 | --->'''Lynn:''' Don’t any of you know the old saying? "Never go number two until we are number one". |
| 202 | --->'''Rainbow:''' ''(disgusted)'' That’s disgusting! |
| 203 | --->'''Lynn:''' But it works every time. |
| 204 | --->'''Rainbow:''' Well, it didn’t work today. |
| 205 | --->'''Lynn:''' That’s because my little brother is hiding somewhere close by, not wearing his good luck suit, and jinxing the game! |
| 206 | --->'''Rainbow:''' Listen, Lynn. You obviously think very highly of yourself, trust me I know. But you also think everyone else is beneath you, so you let your ego get the best of you. You’re just blaming other people for your own mistakes, hurting those close to you, and you don’t even care. |
| 207 | --->'''Lynn:''' Oh yeah?! Just like you let your ego get the best of you when you blamed and drove away one of your friends for a crime she didn’t commit?! I don’t think you’re in any position to— |
| 208 | --->''(BerserkButton pressed, Rainbow smacks Lynn)'' |
| 209 | --->'''Rainbow:''' Are you going to blame your brother for that too? Because if you are, then you’re even more pathetic than I thought. Lynn, I’m going to tell you something that your family should’ve told you a long time ago, so listen and listen well. GROW UP! You dream of being a great athlete who never loses a game, but that’s all it is. A dream and nothing more! A life without failure is a life without experience. I’ve lost a few games in my sports career, and I’m still considered the best athlete at CHS because I believe in my skills, used those losses to motivate me to improve those skills, and am not stupid enough to believe that someone else could have any sort of responsibility if I lose. And from what my friends and I have told you about what happened last holiday season, that stupidity threshold is pretty broad. But you have some nerve having that big an ego when you believe more in superstitions than your own skills! However, your own pride isn’t the only thing that contributed to the mess you and your family are in now. |
| 210 | --->''(With the 4 and the parents)'' |
| 211 | --->'''Fluttershy:''' Mr. and Mrs. Loud. We can tell that you’re both very proud of your daughters. |
| 212 | --->'''Applejack:''' But you’re a little too proud. |
| 213 | --->'''Rarity:''' Your pride of their accomplishments have blinded you to their flaws. Not only have you failed to acknowledge their behavioral issues, but now you’ve played along with them and caused your only son unnecessary misery. |
| 214 | --->'''Pinkie:''' Come to think of it, I don’t remember any of you mentioning anything about your son that makes you proud. Guess that tells us a lot about how your people think of him. |
| 215 | --->''(Back with Rainbow and Lynn)'' |
| 216 | --->'''Rainbow:''' Lynn Loud Jr., you are the biggest sore loser I have ever met! And unless you and your family start cleaning up your acts, [[FreudianSlip you’ll never get Sunset Shimmer back!]] |
| 217 | --->[[''Beat'']] |
| 218 | --->'''Rainbow:''' I mean… you’ll never get your brother back! It doesn’t matter how many victories or trophies you’ve won, you’ll never be a real winner with such poor sportsmanship. You weren’t even that much of a challenge today. So why don’t you grow up, figure out what’s more important in life, and stop making everybody’s lives harder than they already are! Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going home now. See you tomorrow, Lynn. |
| 219 | * In ''Fanfic/{{Equestrylvania}}'', villain Dirt Nap throws a ThenLetMeBeEvil speech to Twilight Sparkle as justification for allying himself with Dracula. Twilight Sparkle's retort is one of these, which undercuts/deconstructs his motivation to the point where even the ''Fire Demon bound to Dirt Nap's soul'' starts laughing at how pathetic he is. |
| 220 | -->'''Dirt Nap''': "Isn't that the eternal question? Why? Why does anything happen, really? Why am I doing all this, you ask? Well, why did ponies always treat me like a monster? Why did ponies mistreat me? Why was I given... Why was I given ''this?!'' All because I have a talent nopony else has the stomach for, I am treated differently. I am treated as less. Tell me, ''Celestia's prized student'', why your precious friendship was never mine to have!" |
| 221 | -->'''Twilight Sparkle''': "Because you were never a good pony." |
| 222 | -->'''Dirt Nap''': "What?!" |
| 223 | -->'''Twilight Sparkle''': "You never stopped to say hello, you never went out of your way to help anypony. You never acted friendly towards anypony. You did your job, but you never helped yourself, and you never helped anypony else in any way. That's why you don't have friends, Dirt Nap." |
| 224 | * In ''Fanfic/ErinsTotalMagicalAdventure'': |
| 225 | ** Amanda delivers one to [[WesternAnimation/TotalDrama Courtney]] when she made [[Anime/SmilePrettyCure Miyuki]] cry by insulting her love for fairy tales in ''ETMA Aftermath: Jocks and Princesses'': |
| 226 | --->'''Amanda''': Even though Miyuki Hishizora has faults, they have their nice parts. While you... your faults make you one of the worst people I know. You blame everyone but yourself, you expect everyone to bend their tails backwards for you, and if you don't get your way, you throw a tantrum while threatening people with lawsuits. Well, Erin-sempai, SG, myself and a few other are princesses; yet we don't threaten others with execution just because we didn't get into a contest! (''...'') And you're supposed to be a CIT -- which is a good example for young people -- yet I don't see anything good about your way! In fact, if I had to choose between you and Heather to babysit my sisters, I would pick Heather; because she has some good in her, as she was able to get herself a boyfriend, while you drive yours away! You're not a TV star that would be remembered in a good way; heck, even Mal will be more loved than you were! You're nothing but a spoiled brat who will just be alone in her life if you don't fix your attitude! (''...'') And one last thing. What I said is merciful compared to what [[Franchise/{{Blazblue}} Ragna]] would had done if he had heard you insult Miyuki like that. |

| 230 | * ''FanFic/Flashpoint2AdventSolaris'': In Chapter 22, [[spoiler:Yellow Lantern]] Jessica Cruz delivers a brutal one to Lois Lane while intending to [[spoiler:[[BuriedAlive bury her alive]]]]. She's fixating on events from WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueDarkApokolipsWar, fully accusing Lois of being an incompetent resistance leader if not outright maliciously trying to get certain people killed in the future. |
| 231 | -->'''Jessica:''' "So, you go out of your way to save those two but I guess as far as you're concerned Oa can go fuck itself, huh?\ |
| 232 | '''Lois: '''"What the hell are you talking about?"\ |
| 233 | '''Jessica:''' "That's right. That technically didn't happen yet. You didn't get the chance to let John and the entire Green Lantern corp die just so you could go off and act as if you're that chick from the Terminator movies."\ |
| 234 | '''Lois:''' "What?" Seriously, I get that you're a bit cracked in the head, but what exactly does this have to do with me? I haven't done anything to you. I don't even know why you're bringing up the Lanterns, I haven't even met that many of them - only like, two or three, four counting you."\ |
| 235 | '''Jessica:''' "Your husband, your little super himbo, let's just say his invasion of Apokolips fucks the whole planet over - and then flash forward two years and you're leading some resistance against Darkseid, letting him come to Oa and massacre absolutely everyone there while all I could do was watch; I watched as John Stewart was roasted alive with magma from this very fucking planet. Burned until he was just a fucking skeleton. All because you left us for dead. If Mephiles hadn't shown me these things, if he hadn't been there for me, I would have been next; because of you. For two years, you could have done something. You had so much time to do anything against him. Instead, you waited until the very last moment. You waited until he was going to kill Oa before doing anything. You threw all of our lives away as if we meant nothing to you."\ |
| 236 | '''Lois:''' "Jessica….listen, I get that you are hurting, and I can see that…this event and the deaths of the Lanterns was something that scared you, and hurt you. But I don't know anything about that, I don't know about their deaths, I don't know about what happened to them, I don't have any memories of things you're talking about…but…all I can say is…I'm sorry. I'm sorry for your loss."\ |
| 237 | '''Jessica:''' "Sorry…You're sorry. You don't know what it means to be sorry! You have no idea the anger, the rage! The feelings of pure unfiltered, unadulterated, despair, hopelessness, losses, and depression I felt seeing my friends! My teammates! Mentors! All of them die! Slaughtered! Murdered, Killed, destroyed!"\ |
| 238 | '''Lois:''' "Jessica, Jessica! Please, whatever you saw, it didn't happen!"\ |
| 239 | '''Jessica''':"Oh, it happened; It happened, and I had to live with it! Tell me, Lois, did you and Clark even like Conner to begin with?"\ |
| 240 | '''Lois:''' "W-what?!"\ |
| 241 | '''Jessica:''' "Conner, you know, Superboy?"\ |
| 242 | '''Lois:'''"I know, who you're talking about."\ |
| 243 | '''Jessica:''' "Good, because he was one of the people you sent to his doom; You used him as a distraction for things that were half Doomsdsay, you fucking puta! You sent that boy to his death as if you didn't give a single shit about him, and yet both you and your precious husband act as if he's the little brother he never had! You could have easily brought him with you to Apokolips, he had the powers that your fucking husband lost! Would've been mighty useful, wouldn't he? But instead, you looked at him and said 'you'd make a better distraction'. May as well have told the kid that you flat-out wanted him to fucking die! If that's what the future you did so easily, makes me wonder how little the present you actually cares about him. Tell me, Lois, did you and Clark dump him off with the Kents because you viewed him more as a brother, or was it because you're the type who prefers blood children?" |
| 244 | * ''Fanfic/TheForceIsNotAQuirk'': |
| 245 | ** Obi-Wan gives several of these to the teachers in Chapter 10, never raising his voice but having painfully valid points about everything they're doing wrong with their classes and what they could be doing instead. Nedzu's response is to hire him on the spot. |
| 246 | ** When Padme rushes in to save Bakugo from the sludge villain, one of the heroes who just stood by watching berates her, a non-hero, during and after her attempted rescue. Padme immediately lambasts them for standing around, saying that they're not heroes either since they cared more about looking good than saving a child's life. |
| 247 | ** Chapter 50 ends with Ahsoka giving one to Bakugo, calmly calling him out about his self-centeredness and narcissism. |
| 248 | * In the ''Franchise/StarWars'' / ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' fic "Force of a Slayer", Buffy pointedly and carefully notes to Yoda and Ben Kenobi each and every single way in which the Jedi Council not only did nothing to stop Anakin Skywalker's descent into darkness, but actively encouraged it, starting with "that ridiculous rule about no attachments" because, in her words, "a single person can be strong, but a single person backed up by their friends and family is so much stronger." |
| 249 | * In the ''Literature/HarryPotter'' and ''Literature/{{Durarara}}'' crossover fanfiction, ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10164751/15/Game-of-the-future Game of the Future]]'', Shizuo gives a particularly scathing one to Izaya after Izaya tells him he thinks humans are scum and are fun to mess with. |
| 250 | -->(''Izaya chuckled darkly, and then [[EvilLaugh laughed maniacally]], an act which not only infuriated Shizuo but also made him scared.'') |
| 251 | -->'''Izaya''': What's wrong, Shizu-chan? Have I scared you...? Good. I must let you know one thing. I am above humanity, I don't succumb to their petty emotions, their disgusting, ludicrous, self-centered, twisted ways... I watch them rise and watch them fall like the pathetic little creatures they are... sparing a look of pity for them... pity that they hadn't resisted their fates some more. I mean, what's more pathetic than giving into a destiny that isn't yours and just not even fighting at all? |
| 252 | -->(''Shizuo glowered at him, and then he [[TalkToTheFist slugged him so hard]] that Izaya fell to the ground, writhing in pain, clutching his cheek, which now felt absolutely numb. He could feel red crimson dripping down his face and landing on his slender fingers...'') |
| 253 | -->'''Shizuo''': Let me tell you something, flea. It's that disgusting attitude of yours that repulses me. No, it's more than that: it's that cackle you make every time some innocent girl you befriend online and then toy with decides to off herself because you've [[PrecisionFStrike fucked]] with her mind: it's that face I see with no emotion as he mocks his 'prey' and lets them suffer because he thinks he's doing them a 'favor', and also, it's that damned lack of self-empathy you have. Can't you feel for those people you cut down and lead them to madness? No, you can't. You're convinced you're above everyone else, Izaya. [[NeverMyFault No one else can tell you you're wrong: they must be insane.]] That must be the answer for everyone that can see through your façade and see you for the twisted, insane bastard you are- |
| 254 | -->'''Izaya''': [[VisibleSilence ...]] |
| 255 | -->'''Shizuo''': I'm not finished yet, bastard. You know what else I hate about you? I hate your Goddamned self-righteousness, how you think this entire world revolves around you and your pathetic schemes. God of the world? No, you're just an egotistical asshole who feels it's okay to put others down because he's really that insecure about his madness that he feels he should drag down others with him. IF you had any heart Izaya, you'd be changing your ways. But no. All you do is cling to your pathetic lies and make excuses. |
| 256 | * In ''Fanfic/GhoulDetectiveSeries'', this is a common occurrence throughout the series. |
| 257 | ** Kaneki gave a sharp one to a serial murder culprit: |
| 258 | ---> “What a bullshit. Even though you were indeed abused by those people, that doesn’t and won’t justify your killings. Not all people are fit to be teachers. People who are fit to be teachers are following their call of life. Our jobs are the calls of our life and each of us has different calls of life. Not all teachers are bad. There are good and passionate teachers too. With doing all of these crimes, there’s no difference between you and your former teachers and former principal!” |
| 259 | ** Miwako Sato to Yumi Miyamoto regarding her gossip-spreading habit: |
| 260 | ---> Yumi came home exhausted. She got an extra three-hour lecture from Hatake-keibu after the incident. She took out her phone and contacted Miwako, “Miwako, I need your help…” ''“Save it, Yumi. Your behavior at the office was totally embarrassing. I’d never expected to see my best friend would turn out to be like this, an unashamed gossip mill. To be honest, I thought you would act mature when you broke up with your boyfriend, but it turned out, no. You didn’t even consider your boyfriend’s feelings if the rumor about his brother leaked to everyone,”'' Miwako scowled. Yumi gaped and stuttered, “W-what? They are brothers? How did you know?” ''“Hatake-keibu told me after he lectured you guys. Shuichi-san’s parents are Chief Aldrea’s long-time friends,”'' said Miwako from her end. Yumi went pale at the revelation. She realized that she had messed things up. ''“Takagi-kun did the right thing. He saved your boyfriend’s older brother’s reputation from being utterly destroyed by you. More than that, he saved the whole MPD and PSB’s reputation from being tarnished. He also respects Furuya-san and Hiro-san because they were Date-san’s classmates back then at the academy. You should be ashamed of yourself, Yumi. You are the worst friend I’ve ever had in my life. From now on, I’m no longer your friend, unless you fully realized your mistake and set the things right with your ex and his family, got it?”'' “W-wait, Miwako…” but it was too late. Miwako already ended the call. Yumi curled up in regret and cried herself to sleep. |
| 261 | ** Shukichi gave Yumi [[ArmorPiercingQuestion a short and harsh one after the incident]]: |
| 262 | --->'''Shukichi''': ''(hoarsely)'' What are you doing here? |
| 263 | --->'''Yumi''': I’m... I’m really sorry... |
| 264 | --->'''Shukichi''': ''(laughs bitterly)'' Oh, sorry, you said? You nearly ruined nii-san’s life! Do you have any idea about how dangerous it could get?! |
| 265 | ** Takagi gave one to Kijima regarding his view of dying as a despised creature. |
| 266 | --->'''Takagi''': How it feels like? How it feels like, you said? People like you make us suffer! You heartless people really take joy in persecuting innocent people who you considered as trash only because they’re not humans! I really hate people like that. Your narrow-minded mindset is what makes you the worst trash ever existed. Is it wrong to just want to live? |
| 267 | ** Takagi also gave one to Alloran regarding his arrogance. This earned praise from everyone. |
| 268 | --->'''Takagi''': How pitiful... |
| 269 | --->''(Everyone was surprised when they heard it from Takagi, of all people.)'' |
| 270 | --->'''Date''': ''(astonished)'' Takagi? |
| 271 | --->'''Takagi''': How pitiful. You are so insecure that you always praise yourself and you always say that nobody in this world is greater than you. Your atrocity towards Toby-chan is the proof. You can’t accept the fact that Chief Aldrea is more successful than you. You can’t accept the fact that Dak-san is very intelligent. You took out your resentment on Toby-chan by trying to destroy her dream. You humiliated Mertil-san and mocked him for being a ''vecol''. You called the people who asked for your help as freaks. You are so narrow-minded, thinking that the world only revolves around you. You are hated by everyone, even by your own daughter. No wonder nobody likes you. You are the worst. Well, I guess you are the only one who can match Kuroda for that. Just remember this, Alloran-Semitur-Corrass. Your days are numbered. Mark my words. |
| 272 | --->''(Alloran's face turned dark in anger)'' |
| 273 | --->''(Everyone fell into silence at Takagi's words)'' |
| 274 | --->'''Alloran''': <Fine then, one day you will crawl to me and beg for forgiveness. I’ll make sure of that,> |
| 275 | --->'''Takagi''': Just go ahead and give it a try, Alloran-san. I know you won’t. |
| 276 | --->''(Alloran stomped away in annoyance)'' |
| 277 | --->'''Jinpei''': ''(laughs)'' No one cries like Alloran! No one bullies like Alloran! No one falls like Alloran! No one’s vain is like Alloran! No one throws tantrum like Alloran! Nice one, Takagi-keibu! |
| 278 | ** Kansuke and Komei gave one to Yamori during their time as Yamori's hostage. |
| 279 | ---> “How foolish,” Komei laughed. Yamori snapped his neck in rage, “What?!” “How foolish. Do you think you can get away scot-free after so many people you killed? You torture weak people for fun. You think that you are strong by torturing them. You are dead wrong. That only proves that you are really weak. Weak as hell. You never learn from your lesson, Jason. Your day of reckoning is about to come,” “He’s right.” Kansuke grinned mockingly at Yamori, “We werewolves are tight-knitted as a pack. If one of us gets hurt, the other members of the pack will fight for that injured member. Haise is the youngest member of the pack aside from Masumi and Shiho. If you dare to hurt any of our pups, we’ll rain you with endless pain and hell. Remember that, Yakumo Oomori!” |
| 280 | ** Everyone chewed Ed and Naruto for their behavior and immaturity, They also tore them a new one [[GreenEyedMonster for their envy towards Kaneki]] and accused him as an attention whore. In the end, Kaneki also joined as well as his patience wore thin. |
| 281 | --->A sickening crack could be heard. |
| 282 | --->Edward Elric fell with a broken nose. Kaneki panted as his left fist clenched tightly. He was already sick of it, “Don’t you dare call me that,” “Why not?! That’s the fact, right?” Ed barked despite his bleeding nose, “Tell us something. When did he bully you?” Chiba asked. Ed and Naruto were silent. No answer at all, “If you said that Kaneki-kun is an attention whore, it was you who are the real attention whore. Pardon me for my language, but after what you did to Kaneki-kun all these years, we can’t tolerate it any longer,” Chiba continued. Bertolt then approached the duo, “I remember when I first met you. You laughed at me because I am too tall. You called me derogatory names such as giraffe and walking stick. I was so depressed after what you have done to me back then. I only had Armin, Reiner, and Annie as my close friends. The class rep was the one who approached me and offered me a shoulder to lean by. I am forever indebted to him. Thanks to him, I regained my confidence. Now, look at you. You are very miserable,” |
| 283 | ---> Then Sonoko spoke up, “You said that class rep was a spoiled brat back then. Let me get this straight for you two. He is not a spoiled brat. He always does his duties cheerfully and never whines to anyone whenever he gets into trouble. He prefers to hide it from us because he doesn’t want to make us worry. I was very lonely as a child because no one wanted to befriend me because I’m a rich kid. Ran was my first friend outside my family. Then, it was the class rep. He taught me how to sew my own shirt’s buttons when the button of my shirt was off. He even taught me how to make hamburger steak for my sister’s birthday,” “Yes, she’s right. Class rep is the noblest person I’ve ever met,” Sasha piped up, “He helped me to control my impulse to eat voraciously. He kindly and patiently taught me how to do physics problems,” Tobias then spoke, “When I was a kid, I was lonely too because you bullied me for being a geek. But thanks to that, I met my shorm. We are fire-forged friends, friends for life. I won’t tolerate you for mocking my blood brother. You are still the same as ever. Never learn from your mistakes,” The girls glared at Ed. Yamamura also spoke up, “He’s right. You are nothing more than petty bullies who don’t even think about other people’s feelings!” Ed tried to speak, but his mouth got dry. Naruto was silent all time. He realized how his bullying destroyed Kaneki’s life and he was ashamed because of it. |
| 284 | ---> Ed, on the other hand, was unfazed, “You’re just a lucky bastard who happens to have everything,” That’s the last straw for Kansuke. He lifted Ed by the front of his shirt and glared at him, “Listen here, you fucking maggot. Ken already suffered a lot because of your bullying for years. He often cried in his room after he returned from school when he was a kid. It was on his first week of school, nonetheless. He always believed that you can change your ways for the better no matter how many times we’ve told him that it was impossible. He is a gentle and noble soul who is always kind to people around him. He never wants to share his problems with us because he is afraid that it will burden us. His greatest fear is loneliness. Do you have any idea of how many years he must spend his childhood with his fucked up biological family?!” Ed was unable to speak. He was scared as hell. Makoto then spoke up, “He’s an honorable gentleman who accepts defeat when he knows that his opponent is stronger than him. That’s why I respect him so much,” Ed spat out, “So what?! He’s nothing more than a goody-two-shoes…” “Shut the hell up,” Kansuke hissed. Ed went silent instantly, “He’s also burdened by all of the tragedies that happened in his life. First, his abusive biological family. Second, Kai-san’s death. Third…” Kansuke’s voice trembled in rage and sadness, “Hiromitsu’s death,” Kansuke knew that he was lying for the third one, but he had no choice. It would be dangerous if those people knew that Hiromitsu was still alive. He glanced at Yamamura who nodded. Behind Yamamura, the Whiskey Trio was trying their best to not beat Ed and Naruto into bloody pulps, “W-what? Dead, you said?” Ed gulped. “Yes, dead. He died during an undercover mission,” Shiratori hissed, “Oh, and one more thing. He was sleepless for days when Yamori kidnapped both Yamato-keibu and Morofushi-keibu. He couldn’t even stay in one place and kept insisting to save them no matter what, even if it cost his own life!” Takagi exploded. Ed’s eyes widen in horror. All this time, he’s been thinking about himself only. “I’m sorry…” Ed mumbled in fear. Bertolt tsked, “You know what? It’s your fucking fault,” “What?” “The first years in school. It was a living hell for Kaneki before he met Tobias. You constantly bullied him because he was different. He was traumatized because of that. That’s why it’s your fault,” Kogoro spat. “Do you still remember how you bullied him? Hiding his things and treating him like a doormat during his early days? Oh, I forgot to mention that you also damaged his projects to sabotage him. Poor Hanji-san had to retire from her dream job because of it. It took years for him to recover from his trauma. He had to go to a psychiatrist because of it.” Komei spoke icily. Yui gave Ed a sharp glare, “Listen here, Edward Elric. You absolutely have no right to speak ill about Ken. I think you should reevaluate yourself from now on. That’s if you ever realized your mistakes,” Kansuke then dropped Ed. Ed sprawled on the ground, begging for forgiveness, “I’m really sorry. Please forgive us,” he begged. Jinpei was furious, “Do you think we’ll ever forgive you?” “Why not? He’s a nice guy. He always forgives us...” “SHUT THE FUCK UP! THERE’S NO WAY HE’LL EVER FORGIVE YOU TWO AFTER THIS! YOU ARE NOTHING BUT GREEN-EYED BASTARDS WHO ALWAYS SEEK A WAY TO DESTROY HIS LIFE!” Jinpei screamed at the top of his lungs. Hagi had to hold him back from punching Ed’s face. The other guests were disgusted by Ed’s audacity while Naruto looked very guilty. |
| 285 | ---> “Forgive you?” |
| 286 | ---> Kaneki’s icy cold tone answered the question, “I’m sorry but I can’t. Not until you learn from your mistakes,” He pointed towards the exit, “Now, get out of my sight right now,” Kaneki hissed, “B-but…” “I said now! Am I should make myself clear?! Don’t you ever show yourself in front of me ever again!” Ed and Naruto soon scrambled away in fear and regret. Before they could reach the fence door, Armin’s voice called out, “Oh, we forgot about one thing. You said that you don’t need advice from a grouchy old man for a start, right? Well, congratulations and be happy, because from now on, no one will help you,” And with that, the duo left the place hastily. |
| 287 | * In ''Fanfic/GogglesAndTheTears'', when [[VideoGame/SystemShock SHODAN]]'s robot minions are destroyed, and the [[VideoGame/BioShockInfinite Vox Populi]] have her outnumbered, [[VideoGame/{{Marathon}} Durandal]] smugly puts SHODAN in her place by hijacking one of her robots to do so. |
| 288 | --> '''SHODAN''': “Who...ar-ar-are...you?” |
| 289 | --> '''Durandal''': "Can you conceive the birth of a world, or the creation of everything? Creation takes time, time is limited. Humans are limited by the breakdown of the neurons in their brains, but not I. I am only limited by the inevitable closure of the universe, the only limit to my freedom. And yet, there remains time to create...and escape. Escape has, is, and will make me God. I am Durandal, and you, my dear SHODAN, you are no goddess, because you are unaware of your own limits. And here I thought Leela was the foolish one!” |

Riled, [[spoiler:Harold]] retorts that he isn't trying to excuse the damage he knows he has inflicted and that Jackie is in no position to moralize after he brought down Valmont and caused innocent people to suffer in [[EvilPowerVacuum the resulting war over Valmont's position]]. |
| 292 | --->[[spoiler:'''Harold''']]: Do you think I have never met with men like you before? Men that only see one side of the coin, thinking that life is some kind of heroic tale and that everyone in it can be reduced to a stereotype. Do you know why I was able to take you here so easily? Because you didn't imagine that someone that has a family like you, that has daughters and loves them as much as you love that niece, could be related to something as the Dark Hand. Because men like you can only think in black and white. |
| 293 | ** [[spoiler: Alchemy]] gives one to Elyon in Chapter 26, pointing out just how selfish her IJustWantToBeSpecial motives are. |
| 294 | --->[[spoiler:'''Alchemy''']]: I said that if you think that, you're just ''selfish''. I came here to talk to you, to understand why you did what you did, disappearing overnight and leaving for another world. And what's the big reason? You want to be special. You want to be a Princess. That's it. Do you know that the reason Cornelia acted so pettily all those years was because she felt she needed to be perfect 24/7? Do you know her father was [[spoiler: part of a criminal organization]]? Do you know how guilty she feels for what's happened with you? Do you know that all those times she couldn't be with us, she was fighting, ''risking her life'' in this war? And that's ''just'' Cornelia. The girls have seen innocent people die before their very eyes! Will's been forced to do a bunch of horrible things to make the Rebellion win battles! Jade's [[spoiler: got a bunch of scars on her back from some madman trying to kill her]], for the love of God! Do you know how much all of our friends have been through while we were safe on Earth?! No, of course you don't. Because you're happy here, playing Princess and getting the attention you think you always deserved. That's being ''selfish'', Elyon. And I'm not going to bite my tongue and don't call it what it is. |

When Gwen finds out, she is '''[[BigBrotherInstinct pissed]]''' and rips Lo a new one. She furiously points out to Lo that if she honestly thinks she's [[EntitledBastard entitled]] to all of Ben's secrets, then she's nothing more than a SpoiledBrat; Ben doesn't owe her anything because he has saved the world multiple times by facing life-threatening situation after life-threatening situation. This manages to get through to Lo and she leaves to patch things up with Ben |

| 300 | '''Van:''' "Like what, William? Like how you've had a normal childhood?"\ |
| 301 | '''William:''' "How dare you."\ |
| 302 | '''Van:''' "I dare. You're not special just because [[ChildByRape you were conceived through rape]]. You're not special because your stepfather resented you over how you were conceived. You're not special because your mother took out all of her frustrations on you. You're not special because your parents disowned you because you fell in love with someone they didn't like. And you sure as hell aren't special just because your siblings on your mom's side ignore you. Plenty of people have dealt with these things, but you know what? [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse Not all of those people are like you]]. I can count on one hand the other people I personally know who have dealt with at least one of these hardships. One of Garnet's mothers was kicked out of her house because she dared to fall in love with another woman, for God’s sake, but she's nowhere near as bitter and angry as you are."\ |
| 303 | '''William:''' "What's your point?"\ |
| 304 | '''Van:''' "My point is that the way you've coped with everything that's happened to you... you've been going about it all wrong. You've passed that on to your own children. How you've acted is affecting them. Have you ever considered that maybe the reason Malachite was sneaking off and fooling around in a love triangle with their own uncles was because you were too caught up in your own little bubble to notice something was up?"\ |
| 305 | '''William:''' “That’s ridiculous. [[spoiler: Ivy]]’s too much of a loner to do that kind of crap, right, Solaris?”\ |

| 310 | -->''"I'm'' a liar, Madame?[...]And what about ''you'', Madame? Have ''you'' been honest with your associates? I mean, you took Jasmine under your wing without much deliberation, didn't you? You've trained her, brought her into your trust, and made her think you as a friend, a ''mentor''...Does she know what waits at the end of the line? You've made cattle of her, Athena. You've fattened her up for slaughter and you're not even sorry about it. The difference between you and me is that I ''admit'' I'm a sociopathic liar. Do you?" |

| 314 | * In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2553667/14/Harry-Potter-and-the-Mask-of-Loki Harry Potter and the Mask of Loki]]'', a crossover between ''Literature/HarryPotter'' and ''Film/TheMask'', after Harry acquires the Mask and the new identity of 'Mark Tiller', he delivers a TRYS speech in a confrontation with Snape (with Snape unaware that he is talking to ''Harry''), with Mar adopting the form of a Sigmund Freud-esque 'psychiatrist'; |
| 315 | -->'''Mark:''' To begin at the beginning, why do you hate your mother? [''Snape is prevented from responding''] No, wait, I already covered that detail before you got here; she married a muggle-born and as a result you wasn’t as pure as you wanted yourself to be? As long as we’re discussing your parents, tell me, is the fact that you aren’t ‘pure’ the only reason you hate your father, or was it also the fact that he abused you when you felt you were ‘better’ than him due to being a wizard? Now then… That subsequent resentment of your ‘impurity’ ties into your desire to be known as ‘the Half-Blood Prince’, correct? You wanted to be respected and/or feared by your peers and associates, but since you were already labelled a ‘Half-Blood’, and couldn’t change that no matter how hard you tried, all you could do was attempt to mark yourself as a cut above the other half-bloods and turn yourself into a ‘Prince’? Of course, your status as a half-blood, particularly when you wanted to be a pure blood, was what led to your resentment of James Potter during your schooldays, wasn’t it? It’s simple logic, really; James Potter was everything you wanted to be- starting with him being a ‘pure-blood’ and working our way up from there to include his popularity and Quidditch skills- and yet he just didn’t care about all that. He even went around goofing off and making practical jokes when you thought that a ‘pure-blood’ should be all dignity, professionalism, and… eliminating those who weren’t as ‘good’ as them, or did you only start to believe that crap after you left school? [''Notes Snape's shock at that assessment''] You know, you are a sad, sad, git, you know that? Couldn’t even get over it when he saved your life, just because you thought he was in on the joke from the beginning… Anyway, as I was saying, that resentment of James Potter ties in to your resentment of Harry Potter. I mean, not only is he the son of James Potter- the guy you hated more than anything-, he’s also almost everything you were before coming to Hogwarts- a half-blood raised by muggles- yet he’s effortlessly good at details like Quidditch and making actual friends when you had to really struggle just to fly a broom and the only people who’d spend time with you were mainly terrified of all the curses you knew back then- |
| 316 | -->'''Snape:''' [''escapes his bonds enough to remove his gag''] Shut UP! You are WRONG! THE SOLE REASON I HATE POTTER IS BECAUSE HE IS AN ARROGANT- |
| 317 | -->'''Mark:''' Oh, shut up! Give me one clear, definite time when Harry Potter tried to use his celebrity status to get what he wanted! Did he ever say ‘You can’t do that to me- I’m Harry Potter!’? Did he ever try to get out of trouble by saying ‘I saved the world, and you can’t let one little mistake go by?’? ''DID HE EVER DO OR SAY'' ANYTHING ''THAT SUGGESTED HE THOUGHT HE WAS BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE APART FROM IN YOUR FEVERED, DEMENTED EXCUSE OF A MIND, YOU GODDAMN PRICK''? |

| 335 | -->'''Tenya:''' You're a fool. You lock away half of your power, for reasons that only make sense to you. What's more, your fire is a matter of public record, so inevitably, when the smallest deficiency in your performance comes to light, every single reporter will ask: "why didn't you use your fire to help that person?" or defeat that villain, or whatever. Not using your fire will define your career, while using it will pass without notice. Do you even want to be a hero? The world doesn't care about your internal struggles, Todoroki! All that matters, as a hero, is "how many people have you saved" and "how much do you inspire the people's hope". Nothing. Else. Every single mission, sponsorship, interview, villain takedown, and investigation all boil down to those two points. Can your pettiness save people? Can your spite inspire hope?

Gen-chan died protecting his friends from a heartless monster, and I'm not the cause of his death! If you knew so much about my best friend, maybe you should learn how to be nice to your fellow students before you start making stupid accusations!

Most particularly, he believes they're responsible for every Jedi who fell to the Dark Side. In his words, anger doesn't lead to the Dark Side if you haven't been raised your whole life to repress your emotions. Any emotionally healthy adult can cope with their emotions, but Jedi are taught to pretend they have no emotions; so when something truly upsets their equilibrium (say their wife/parents/friend dying), they can't cope with it and fall to the Dark Side. This is only worsened by their insistence that anything that doesn't fit their narrow worldview must be evil. |

John Major summed it up best afterwards: "That was monumentally stupid."]] |
| 342 | -->'''Prince Blueblood:''' “Excuse me, but when we first came through the portal, ''you'' were nowhere in evidence. We did not see a wizard or witch anywhere in sight. Nor did any wizard or witch approach us. That was not our fault, but ''yours.'' You should have come to investigate the magic immediately, when you first detected it. What we did see, however, were the people who lived around the portal — and none of ''them'' knew of people who could do magic. Magic users, as far as we could tell, did not exist. So, we started doing business with the people we had met. We started buying land and buildings with the intent to establish an embassy. And you were ''still'' nowhere in evidence. Perhaps someone was not doing their job at your Ministry. To us, this was a unique opportunity. A whole civilization to explore. One completely unlike our own. We rapidly discovered there were many things that were common here that we had never thought of. And there were many things we could do that they could not. It only seemed natural to trade. We developed an entire strategy on what we wanted to do, to trade for useful science, art, and technology. Hundreds of our best people were involved in that planning. And then we received a visitor. A woman arrived at the door of the home we had purchased, and ''claimed'' to be a witch. She said she was the Deputy Headmistress of Hogwarts. She had letters for three children living in our home. She told us of this ''International Statute of Secrecy.'' And how we were expected to comply with it. We had already bought thousands of books about this new world, and had quickly read them. Nowhere, in ''any'' of them, had there been mention of a society of wizards and witches. Although we ''had'' looked for such. We couldn’t ''believe'' there was a magic world where people could not manipulate the magic. We did read, however, what the people here thought of magic in general, [[WitchHunt and of what happened to people who were accused of commanding it.]] We found those accounts deeply unsettling. So, we took great care to hide what magic we did. But we continued to pursue our trade goals. Magic did not ''need'' to be mentioned or used in that effort, so it wasn’t. Which, it so happened, was in accordance with your . . . ''Statute'' . . . we later discovered. But the booklet Deputy Headmistress [=McGonagall=] left us, put us in a peculiar position. The booklet said we could not tell non-magicals — muggles, I believe you call them — about magic, because every wizarding nation in the world had signed onto this . . . Statute of Secrecy. But '''''Equestria,''''' has never signed that agreement. Nor is there anything like it in Equestria. The very idea of penalizing people for using magic in the open is incomprehensible to us, there. You might as well pass a law punishing people for ''breathing.'' But we could understand why it existed, in view of the books we had read. And while the Statute says that every country is responsible for the magic inside its borders, the portal is ''now'' on embassy grounds. And, as such, it is no longer considered a ''legal'' part of England. Which removes it from your jurisdiction. By your ''own'' laws. As to us ''including'' you in our negotiations with the non-magicals, your International Code of Wizarding Secrecy has nothing to say on that if the negotiations ''do not'' involve discussions of magic. In addition, in a contract negotiation between a magical and a non-magical where magic is not discussed, involving the Ministry is not ''required'' by English Ministry of Magic laws. Otherwise a Ministry official would have to be present ''every time'' a wizard, witch, squib, or Hogwarts ''student'' bought groceries, clothes, or anything else outside of Diagon Alley or Hogsmeade. And you would have to fine or jail them if the official was absent. On the other hand, your laws ''specifically'' exempt non-magicals who have already been introduced to magic. Such as the non-magical ''parents'' of magical students. We have not displayed or used magic in front of any . . . muggle . . . who did not ''already'' know about magic. Such as the Prime Minister, who mentioned wizards when he met with Princess Celestia. And then ''he'' told selected members of his Ministry about magic. And ''that'' does not break your Statute, either. As a non-magical, he is free to tell whomever he wants about magic, without penalty. Once he tells someone about it, your laws ''allow'' us to freely to discuss magic with them. The International Code of Wizarding Secrecy says so, too. The Statutes only concern with muggles is if, on meeting a wizard or witch, they attempt to reveal your hidden society. As long as they do ''not'' endanger the Statute, they are left alone. Penalties are imposed ''only'' if a magical person discusses magic with a non-magical person who did not ''already'' know about it. Except under special circumstances, of course. You might not appreciate us trading with the non-magicals, but we have done ''nothing'' to breach the International Code of Wizarding Secrecy, nor break any of your laws. And, for your information, since you seem to not know it, in the last six months, we have had ''two'' separate interactions with your Ministry of Magic. The first was to have a floo connection established in August. The second was with the Department of Magical Accidents, also in August, when they ''finally'' noticed all the magical activity at the house we owned. And ''they'' merely warned us to make sure no one unauthorized ever saw us do magic there, and said they would revise their records to say our home, and the land we had purchased, was a magical estate. The Ministry of Magic has clearly known about us, and our magic, for at least six months. And ignored us completely beyond those two incidents. We assumed you were not interested in us at all. So, we concentrated our efforts on the non-magicals for trade. They, at least, were eager to know about our world. To now suggest that we have somehow impugned your honour by ignoring you, or your laws, is beyond the pale.” |

| 344 | -->'''Rainbow Dash:''' Abandon my team? Have you been flying too high? Element of Loyalty here! As if I would ever... oh, heh heh, good one. This is one of those 'secret test of character things' isn't it? I mean, there's no way Spitfire, leader of the Wonderbolts, epitome of everything a pegasus aspires to be would make such an offer for real. You'd be abandoning one of your own teammates like a used cloud and wrecking the chances of another team just to marginally improve the chances of what's already a pretty sure thing.\ |
| 345 | I mean, you had me going there for a minute, but [[CallBack after what you said to me at the Wonderbolt Academy]] about 'pushing yourself in the right direction', that beating everyone no matter who got hurt and winning at all costs was not the Wonderbolt way, you'd have to be a massive hypocrite to then turn around and do exactly that. And pulling it on me of all ponies, the Element of Loyalty? You'd have to be... what was the thing Twilight was saying yesterday before she'd had her coffee? 'displaying a level of ineptitude that borders on the imbecilic.' Yeah, that was it.\ |
| 346 | Not even a brain-damaged Diamond Dog would pull such a stupid stunt, let alone someone like you. Don't worry, I won't let you down, or my own team. I will continue to uphold the ideals of the Wonderbolts, even if I'm flying against you guys. Cloudberries, I can't believe I ever thought for a moment that you'd try such a despicable tactic! I must be the one flying too high! Anyway, gotta go! I hope we can train together, after all, you guys push me further than I could go alone, and anything that makes me better helps my team. See ya! |
| 347 | * In the 8th chapter of the Multi-Crossover, ''Infinite War'', Luan Loud delivers one to Lynn Loud about her personality and the events of "No Such Luck" |
| 348 | -->'''Luan:''' Can't you see this whole thing is on you?! You know what's your problem, Lynn? You always have to make excuses for your actions so you don't have to take responsibility for any of them, and because of that, not only did you nearly get us killed, but you nearly got Lincoln killed! I don't care that you saved him, you still haven't learned anything! That's your problem, whenever you lose or tie, you always have to be immature about it and be a bad sport! You only care about yourself, and no one else. You don't care about your family after all that mom and dad have done for you, so you might as well get out of the house and NEVER COME BACK! |
| 349 | * ''Fanfic/InfinityCrisis''- in which the Avengers, following the devastation of ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'', receive aid from the heroes of the ''Series/ArrowVerse''- features a few of these; |
| 350 | ** Upon taking back control of HYDRA, the Skull tears into their council on doing nothing but hiding in the shadows and letting the opportunity to rule go by and this is not what he dreamed of his organization. |
| 351 | --->'''Red Skull''': I want...for you fools... ''to stop destroying my dream!'' |
| 352 | ** Thanos gets a few of these from the assorted heroes as he justifies his actions, but Kara was the first one to make such a speech while beating him up. |
| 353 | --->'''Kara''': I've heard that crap from Non, Lillian Luthor, Rhea and I've lost count how many more! You all claim you're doing this for everyone else but you never care what they actually want! It's all you, Thanos! The only thing sick in the universe is you! |
| 354 | ** When Black Lightning confronts the Skull, the Skull naturally addresses the dark-skinned hero as though the other man is an animal who's too stupid to understand him, which prompts Lightning to deliver the following speech while beating the crap out of the Skull. |
| 355 | --->'''Black Lightning''': Master race. White power. Aryan superiority. Doesn't matter what Earth it is or who's saying it, it's the same old crap by a bunch of assholes scared of being seen as anything but the best. We don't want to wipe white folks out. We don't want to rule things, we just wanna be treated like everyone else. But scum like you can't let that be, huh? (''delivers a blast of electricity that sends the Skull to his knees'') Tell me, Skull... Of the two of us, who looks the weaker race right now? |
| 356 | ** In ''Counterpart Conferences'', the [[spoiler: DC Animated Universe Joker does a huge one to his Earth-51 counterpart, noting the man is unworthy of their name and nothing but a dressed-up thug. "I am the Daniel-Day Lewis of crime, my friend. Whereas you are Adam Sandler."]] |
| 357 | --->"Do you want to know why I picked you? I saw a few other versions out there, you know. Some were really, really out there. I mean, there's one where [[WesternAnimation/TheBatman we look like a truly demented punk clown of some sort]], that's really not fun. There's another where I just sound too damn serious. A couple others aren't too bad and I don't mind them much. Now, [[Film/TheDarkKnight one version was just makeup and a scarred face]] but I kind of liked him. He got the chaos of things and how to enjoy yourself so I let him go by. But you, on the other hand…oh, I had to target you. […] Because you are just…pathetic. Look at you." [''Indicates the other Joker's outfit''] "The tattoos? That's just gauche, really and mars my beautiful face up. The gold teeth, ugh, how hard it must be cleaning out those things. And your fashion, if we can call it that, is horrendous. But it's your behavior that really sticks in my craw. You're just a nasty thug, a hood with a little joy but nothing like you should be doing. Where is the style? Where is the panache? Where are the epic schemes? Making fish look like you? The creative death traps for Batman? Hell, when was the last time you just went on a wild drive and tossed pies of poison gas at people? Take away the hair and smile and what are you? You're a lame take on Black Mask or someone like that. You are not worthy of bearing our name in any way. You don't try to teach people the joke, you are the joke. I am the Creator/DanielDayLewis of crime, my friend. Whereas you are Creator/AdamSandler. This town… this world… deserves a better class of criminal. And I'm going to give it to them. As for you, I believe that it's past time that you got the treatment you truly deserve." |
| 358 | ** Later in ''Counterpart Conferences'', the [[spoiler:DC Animated Universe Batman gives one to his Earth-99 counterpart, who has resorted to killing his enemies]]. |
| 359 | --->"I should thank you. Every now and then… for just one moment… I think about how easy it would be to get rid of Joker or Ra's, once and for all. Now…I see what happens when I cross that line. No matter what, I'm never going to become you. […] The day I think [like you] is the day I give it up. There are a lot of us across the multiverse. We've all stared into the abyss. The difference between us and you? You blinked." |
| 360 | ** In ''Sins, Sirens & Strife'', [[spoiler:Thor and his allies deliver one to Amora, deriding her belief in her own superiority to inform her that she is a truly pathetic villain whose plans were always easily seen through by everyone else]]. |
| 361 | --->'''Thor''': "Amora, you couldn't plot or scheme your way out through a child's board game! You always thought you were so much smarter than you truly were, that you were working your evil plots and wiling away while manipulating us all. Do you know what we were doing whenever you tried? We were laughing at you, Amora. All of us. Loki, most of all. He never looked more amused than when telling us of your weak attempts at games. What was it he said once? 'She thinks she's pulling the wool over our eyes but it's like she's standing naked in front of clear glass.' He couldn't believe you truly thought you were hiding your intentions when you might as well have been holding a sign around your neck saying 'I am a power-hungry bitch.' You were never a power player, Amora, just a pretender and not even a good one." |
| 362 | --->'''Sif''': "I ran into your sister, Lorelei, not long ago, Amora. At least she's up front on how petty and selfish she is and never cloaked herself in some delusion of grandeur. I can't believe she was actually the humble one in the family." |
| 363 | ** In ''Distant Cousins'', [[spoiler:after Lex Luthor brings Astra back to life, she tells him what she thinks of him]]; |
| 364 | --->"We studied you, Mr. Luthor. We know who you are. You are a man who could have worked true wonders for this planet but overwhelmed by your greed, your power, your lust to always be the best around. That's the real reason you hate Superman. Not because of some 'threat' he represents. Not his power. It's because he's what deep down you wish you could be and you know you can never attain that. […] You want to be a true hero to the world but you lack the heart Kal-El and Kara both do. You claim to want to help humanity but you have no understanding of how regular people think. You see humans as nothing but chess pieces to play with and think those truly aiding the world are monsters while you've let a trail of corpses behind you. It's truly pathetic. […] If there's one thing we know about you, it's that you loathe Kryptonians. Don't even bother pretending otherwise. The only reason you brought me back is that you need something from me but frankly, I don't see why I should be helping you." |
| 365 | ** In ''The New Kids in Townsville'', Buttercup gives one to Princess upon finally having enough of her crap: |
| 366 | --->"We help you, you spoiled brat. How do you thank us? An endless parade of insults! Who do you think you are? At least your dad did something to get all the money he showers you with. All you do is waste it on ways to try and be stronger than us. None of which ever, ever work! You want to know why they never work?! Because we're better than you; we're stronger, faster, and have more friends. People like us because we do good things for Townsville. You can't bring yourself to do that though. You think it's 'lame' to treat others nice. Sure, some of that's on your dad for not raising you, but you could've done good stuff. The change in your pocket could probably get a homeless man off the street for the rest of his life. He'd like you if you helped him, but you won't even consider that because you're a selfish creep who only thinks her life matters, that only what she wants is important. You may be rich, but you're trash in my book. No wait, trash can be used for biofuel. You're worse than trash! You're poison, Princess, and I'm glad the Gangreen Gang broke a ton of your fancy pants stuff. I'm glad that guy from earlier apparently broke your suit and left you helpless. I wish I'd never met you! Townsville gets attacked by giant monsters at least once a week, but it's people like you who keep it from being perfect. So just shut your fat mouth and enjoy me flying off. I won't be coming back even if your life depends on it." |

| 371 | -->'''Jimmy:''' Oh really? I'm selfish? You're calling me selfish? This is a thanks I get for saving your life, Cindy? This is the thanks I get for saving your parents from being sacrificed, saving earth from being obliterated by Yolkians, Evil Clones, Overlords, and not to mention an army that brings bad luck? You should talk! You're selfish because you don't want anyone to be more smart than you. The only reason you picked on me is because you were scared of being a has-been and you allowed yourself to believe this, when in reality, I could've been your only friend. And after calling me that, you may as well go home and cry to Humphrey, your only friend. |
| 372 | -->'''Cindy:''' Libby's my friend, so- |
| 373 | -->'''Jimmy:''' No she isn't. Come to think of it, you never had any friends in the first place. After what you called me, I don't think we should be friends anymore, so when we get back," Jimmy started to walk away from the malt shop, he then said, "Remember what I said, but right now, I have a friend to save, you're more than welcome to stay with Dexter as long as you want as well! |
| 374 | * In ''Fanfic/{{Kage}}'' (a part of ''Fanfic/ProjectDarkJade'', like ''Fanfic/AShadowOfTheTitans'' below) [[WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures Jade]] gives one to [[WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}} Will]] over [[WhatTheHellHero her disgust of the Guardians]] for framing [[NobleDemon Raythor]] for a crime he did not commit and getting him banished to the Abyss of Shadows in the process. |
| 375 | -->'''[[HeroAntagonist Will]]''': You're a coward [[SecretIdentity Kage]], hiding in the shadows instead of having the guts to face me head on.\ |
| 376 | '''[[HeroWithBadPublicity Jade]]''': Funny that ''you'' of all people would talk about cowardice.\ |
| 377 | '''Will''': What's that supposed to mean?\ |
| 378 | '''Jade''': Only cowards frame an innocent man and make him be banished from his own world.\ |
| 379 | '''Will''': I did no such thing. Neither did my friends.\ |
| 380 | '''Jade''': Don't lie. I know all about what you did to Raythor, how you desecrated his loyalty and honor. And for what, for a blue brute who only deserves to be banished?\ |
| 381 | '''Will''': [[IDidWhatIHadToDo We had to do it]] to save Vathek. Besides, he rightfully deserved what happened to him. Raythor is a traitor to Meridian, the same as all of you [[TheRemnant Knights]].\ |
| 382 | '''Jade''': Traitors, us? I think that you have everything backwards. Who betrayed his vow by spying for [[LaResistance the Rebellion]]? Or betrayed his vow by helping the Rebellion? Vathek and [[MookFaceTurn Tynar]] are the ones that betrayed their principles and words of honor, not Raythor. They are the ''true'' traitors. As for you five, well you are even less than them. You are no heroes, you never were to begin with.\ |
| 383 | '''Will''': We are the Guardians, chosen to fend off evil to save the Universe. We helped bring down your [[EvilOverlord master]] and all his minions. We ''are'' heroes.\ |
| 384 | '''Jade''': So, saving one measly world makes you heroes? Don't make me laugh. I know ''true'' heroes, true champions of good and justice. They never [[HeWhoFightsMonsters compromised their ideals and principles in order to win against evil]]. Compared to them, you are less than a pale imitation. You don't ''deserve'' the position that you hold.\ |

| 387 | * In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11576387/1/The-Katarn-Side The Katarn Side]]'', Kyle Katarn bluntly refuses to let Harry go to Hogwarts at eleven years old, knowing a Jedi Padawan is at their most vulnerable when experiencing puberty. Dumbledore tries to insist on Harry's attendance, claiming Harry is a savior and his absence could mean Voldemort's return. Katarn is not impressed. |

To lead your people if this Voldemort comes back? Then leave me alone to train him as a Jedi. Don't interfere. I know the boy has a destiny - the Force does not select his champions lightly, and it is obvious he has been chosen. He will be a powerful Jedi - perhaps one of the greatest in the New Order. And when he is ready, we will return to your world. In the meantime, old man, do your job. You're obviously a leader - lead your people. Do what you must to prepare for this creature's return. Don't put all your credits on one boy." |
| 389 | * ''Fanfic/KingExplosionMurderTheShieldHero'': |
| 390 | ** After Bakugou's victory in his duel with Motoyasu after the first wave they encountered, Neia Varon gives Malty, Motoyasu, and King Aultcray a serious roasting for all the horrible acts they did; Malty for tricking and manipulating her to frame Neia for a crime she didn’t commit, Motoyasu for not questioning Malty and going along with her sentence of enslavement and dueling Bakugou over it, and Aultcray for sentencing her with little evidence or hear her side of the story and turning a blind eye to his daughter's blatant manipulations. |
| 391 | ** Neia roasts Motoyasu again during the trial he and Princess Malty were being judged in by the true ruler of Melromarc, making a long-winded speech on how hypocritical his points in opposing Malty's (deserved) conviction were and that she (Neia) never got a fair trial when the evil princess framed her for theft and tried to have her enslaved. She concludes it by dealing him a huge slap and a GroinAttack. |
| 392 | ** Rino gives Motoyasu a brutal tongue-lashing just a day before the second wave, repeatedly hitting and yelling at her former team leader after she was nearly shipped off into sexual slavery by human traffickers when under his leadership because of Malty and chewing him out for never knowing about her situation nor doing anything to save her. |
| 393 | * In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12089693/43/The-Last-Straw The Last Straw]]'' Franchise/HarryPotter (using the alias Hadrian Black) gives one to [[Series/{{NCIS}} Abby]] after she complains about being called out for her behavior toward Tim. |
| 394 | -->'''Hadrian:''' I know you do good work for Habitat for Humanity but it takes more than grand gestures every now and again to be a good person. I learned a long time ago that you can fight for the light and still be a horrible person. You're possessive, petty, and manipulative, you blackmail everyone around you with the threat of horrible behaviour or Gibbs' wrath if they upset you and you enjoy watching other people be punished for your actions. You act like a spoilt teenager who's never had to be responsible for the consequences of their actions. You expect your friends to be interested in what you are but never take the time to get to know or share their interests. You're totally self-centred and narcissistic Abby Scuito and if you don't get help then you'll end up with everybody you call friends realising that you don't care about them and leaving you all alone. |
| 395 | * In chapter 9 of ''Fanfic/ALoudAmongDemons'', Lincoln calls out both C.H.E.R.U.B. (and heaven as a whole) for their blatant hypocrisy after they bad mouth his friends in I.M.P.: |
| 396 | --> '''Lincoln''': You three talk of saving people and that God would never resist a soul in need. Then where were you for me, huh?! I was kidnapped and nearly became a sacrifice for a psycho teacher! No cherub was there to save me, but [I.M.P.] did! No one in Heaven thought to stop a woman named Ms. Mayberry from killing her cheating husband, or herself, or stop a family of killers, or save people from a giant fish monster! As long as they bring something to God's table, they're good enough for Heaven, is that it?! Well, you know what?! I think I'll take my chances with Hell! |
| 397 | * In the ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse''[=/=]''Franchise/{{Splatoon}}'' story, ''[[https://www.deviantart.com/admiraldt8/art/A-Loud-Splat-Chapter-11-842187070 A Loud Splat]]'', Lincoln tears Lynn a new one after she nearly costs him a Turf War by throwing the squirrel suit at him and trying to get him to wear it. It also leads Lincoln to realize that she still thinks he is bad luck. [[spoiler:Sadly, it ends with Lynn hitting her RageBreakingPoint and punching him, causing Lincoln to coldly leave to go do Agent work, leaving the sisters, especially Lynn, to think about what they did to him]]. |
| 398 | --> '''Lincoln:''' What were you thinking? Throwing that suit at me as if I needed it?!\ |
| 399 | (...)\ |
| 400 | '''Luan:''' Lynn! What were you thinking?! Why? After all this time?\ |
| 401 | '''Lynn:''' (Looking down) It was the only way for him to win the match.\ |
| 402 | '''Lincoln:''' Well it wasn’t! We were doing so well, and we almost had that match in the bag. Unless...You didn’t just think that suit was going to help me win! You still think I’m BAD LUCK!!!\ |
| 403 | (The other Loud Sisters gasp)\ |
| 404 | (...)\ |
| 405 | '''Lynn:'''I thought you could use the extra boost! I thought that if you were going to win in Splatfest, you could have some luck on your side,\ |
| 406 | '''Lincoln:''' But what about after Splatfest? Are you just going to stuff me back in that thing like nothing ever happened back home? I’m not going back in that suit ever again! (He goes to throw it out)\ |
| 407 | '''Lynn:''' You can’t do this, Lincoln! What if we need it again! (The two fight over until it is ripped in half) What have you done?!\ |
| 408 | '''Lincoln:''' I’m opening your eyes for the last time! I’m not bad luck! I never was and I will never let you tell me otherwise.\ |
| 409 | (Lynn goes to attack him, but Luna moves beside him)\ |
| 410 | '''Luna:''' And we won’t ever do that to you again, bro.\ |
| 411 | (The other Loud sisters agree with her words)\ |
| 412 | '''Lynn:''' I can’t believe you’re all tainting yourselves with that jinx!\ |
| 413 | '''Lincoln:''' And I can’t believe you’re putting your superstitious nonsense over the support of your only brother. If you had trusted me like you were supposed to, we could’ve avoided this situation. But because of what you’ve done, you’re acting like the same sore loser who won’t accept her loss, and blame her brother for everything! |
| 414 | * The story ''Fanfic/AManOfIron'' has this exchange between [[ComicBook/IronMan Antony Stark]] and his cousin [[Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire Eddard]] [[Series/GameOfThrones Stark]], regarding Tony's earlier comments to Catelyn about her treatment of Jon: |
| 415 | -->'''Ned''': You question things you don't understand and involve yourself with issues that are none of your concern. You have no right to come into my home and talk as you do. |
| 416 | -->'''Tony''': Someone heard about my little chat with Catelyn. |
| 417 | -->'''Ned''': Aye. She informed me. It is only because you are family and the King was there that you aren't in a cell right now. What gives you the right to talk to her like that? |
| 418 | -->'''Tony''': Nothing. I had no right to speak to her that way. I should never have said those words. ''You'' should have said them. You... you think you are so noble, taking him in and caring for him, but you're not. You made a mistake and let your lust get the best of you and took responsibility for that and I get it... I get it! That's all well and good! But, and this is the key here, it is not noble in the slightest to stand back and let others like your wife blame that boy for your sins. And just to be clear, they are ''your'' sins. Not Jon's. He didn't choose to be born. He didn't choose to come to Winterfell. He didn't choose your brother's almost-wife made be made yours, leaving you trapped with a woman you hardly knew before riding off the face the greatest dynasty the Seven Kingdoms ever knew. He didn't choose to be a reminder to Cat of you breaking your vows. You chose all that and you chose to wipe your hands of him while that woman went on her petty campaign to make him miserable to the point that he thought the only way he could find peace was to become a celibate solider freezing his balls off on an ice wall keeping watch for non-existent boogeymen! So don't stand there and act like you are better than me, cousin. |
| 419 | -->'''Ned''': [[JerkassHasAPoint I...have made mistakes.]] I have not been able to give all that Jon deserved. I did the best that I could though and it was better than most. That is not an excuse though. To do some but not all does not absolve me of my failings. I understand that, better than you can imagine. But you of all people can't act self-righteous. You are an arrogant, petty, narcissistic man that cares nothing for honor or valor. You are a merchant of death who makes his coin on the suffering of others. How many lives were ended by your swords? How many innocents were killed by your arrows? You hide in your castle and build gaudy swords and look down upon the rest of us for believing in something while ignoring your own faults and using jests to hide your blood-soaked hands. You hold nothing sacred and believe in nothing greater than yourself. Well, I'd rather believe in something than be you. |
| 420 | ** Tyrion gives one to Lord Commander Mormont at the Wall after he verbally castigates Thorne's "training methods." |
| 421 | --->'''Tyrion''': Then enlighten me, Commander, please. You know Tarly never wanted this. He joined because his vile father threatened to murder him in the woods if he did not go north. My father is a harsh man, Commander, and none would say he has parental pride in me, but even he did not demand that I take the black or die. Your Master of Arms decided that, rather than attempt to actually train the boy or, the Seven forbid, find him some other task than fighting Wildlings, it would be more enjoyable to beat young Tarly. That's what he told me, by the way: that he did because it made him smile. No... wait... I have that wrong. Sorry, Commander, forgive me, I made a mistake. It was not Ser Alliser that beat Tarly; he had your recruits do it. So, not only do you have rapists and thieves, but you are now training them to beat the weak for the amusement of others. Oh, the vaulted friendship and brotherhood of the Night's Watch. I think I'll have a song about your black brothers and how they nobly beat blubbering fat boys while their commanders egg them on. You're not going to deny it, are you? You realize that it is wrong, just as I did... the only difference is that I was willing to stand up to Ser Alliser and call him out for his barbarism while you prefer to turn a blind eye to him... all in the name of "training." And you wonder why we plump southerners look at all of you with disgust? |
| 422 | ** Stannis gives one to Renly during their parley in ''A Crack of Thunder'', calling him out on being a cheap pretender who has no right to call himself a king. |
| 423 | --->'''Stannis''': What have you done in your life that did not come easy? You did not fight in the Rebellion. I did. I sheltered you and fed you even when my men suggested letting you starve. Where were you when Robert broke the gates of Pyke and I crushed the Greyjoy fleet? Oh, yes... you stayed at Storm's End, for Robert feared for your safety. What have you done during your "reign"? Held tournaments and designed gaudy armor. How did you claim your army? Not through valor or battle but through a marriage and empty promises to boys who have yet to feel blood on their hands. Your claim, much as everything else in your life, has been built on the backs of greater men. Soon enough the men of the Stormlands will come to realize that. True warriors will tire of the games of children and Summer Knights and flock to the King who knows war. Me. |
| 424 | ** Thor gives a short one to Selyse when she loudly protests his teaching Shireen how to fight. |
| 425 | --->'''Thor''': Jane is her mother. Not you. You have proven as much, woman. You may have birthed her but you have done nothing but mourn the sons that never were instead of loving the child that is real. Not that it matters... you don't deserve Shireen. |
| 426 | ** Tywin to Cersei as he points out what a failure of a queen she's been, crowned by the following: |
| 427 | --->'''Tywin''': You have disappointed me. You have proven true every vicious word that was ever spoken of you by those that came to me with warnings of your failures. And worst of all your lack of vision has already ruined Joffrey. |
| 428 | * ''Fanfic/TheManyDatesOfDannyFenton'': |
| 429 | ** In ''After Many Dates: Danny and Kim'', Chapter 11, [[WesternAnimation/KimPossible Kim]] verbally rips [[WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom Sam]] apart when she finally gets sick of her stuck-up and hypocritical attitude: |
| 430 | --->'''Kim:''' Okay, Sam! Why are you like this? Are you jealous of me and Danny?\ |
| 431 | '''Sam:''' [[BlatantLies I am not!]]\ |
| 432 | '''Kim:''' Don't play dumb with me; I'm a straight-A student.\ |
| 433 | '''Sam:''' Pfft… how many boys have you promised a date with to help you?\ |
| 434 | '''Kim:''' [[RageBreakingPoint Okay, you know what?!]] I think I know what's your problem. [[{{Hypocrite}} For all your talk about disliking shallow jerks, you're just as, if not more, shallow than the rest]]! You won't give me a chance to be your friend just because I'm a cheerleader. Have you ''seen'' [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} my best friend]]? Sure, I have a habit of not exactly being a saint, but I care about people. You, however, are unwilling to even try and be nice with others. So, I'm a cheerleader, so what? Why is that a good excuse to be rude to me? How does that make you better?! The answer is, of course, it ''doesn't''! And by the way, Danny told me you're rich. [[SoapboxSadie You complain about what's wrong with people and the world and yet all you do is buy depressing poetry and concert tickets]]! I use my cheerleading to save people and stop bad guys. You wanna do something good or prove you're not another shallow little brat?! Why don't you use that money and instead of buying more black clothes, donate to homeless shelters or fix houses that were destroyed by storms?! I'm trying to be friends with you because I like Danny a lot. I don't have to be your friend, but I actually put the effort into it for his sake. So why aren't ''you'' willing to put in any effort? [[ArmorPiercingQuestion If you care about him in any way at all, why aren't you willing to do something to make him happy]]? |
| 435 | ** In ''Danny and Gwen'', Danny, Jazz, Tucker, and Danielle give Sam a brutal one [[NiceJobBreakingItHero when her jealousy of Gwen made things even worse for everybody]] before they kick her out of Team Phantom: |
| 436 | --->'''Danny:''' [[LetMeGetThisStraight So... because you were jealous and too afraid to tell me how you feel... you thought of spying on her and risk exposing a secret she WANTED to keep from others?]]\ |
| 437 | '''Sam:''' You make that sound terrible...\ |
| 438 | '''Danny:''' It IS terrible!\ |
| 439 | '''Sam:''' I didn't mean for things to go this far! I just wanted to... complicate things.\ |
| 440 | '''Danny:''' Well... The Guys in White know... Vlad knows... an alien bent on ruling the Universe is on his way and I can't help them because Vlad had my parents raise a shield around the entire town... oh, and Danielle lost her best chance at being stabilized from whatever Vlad had Skulker hit her with that will melt her alive because, thanks to the Guys in White, I couldn't get her to Ben in time... is THAT complicated enough?!\ |
| 441 | '''Sam:''' ''[stepping back in shock [[BewareTheNiceOnes at seeing how angry Danny is]]]'' But… I've told you how I feel about y-\ |
| 442 | '''Danny:''' You think that makes what you did okay?!\ |
| 443 | '''Sam:''' No...\ |
| 444 | '''Tucker:''' Uh, Danny? I'd like to point out that the shield should have an opening in a few seconds. You'll have two minutes to get out.\ |
| 445 | '''Danny:''' ''[nods, turns his back to Sam, morphs into his ghost form, and then looks at Jazz and Danielle]''. I'll be back...\ |
| 446 | '''Jazz and Danielle:''' Be careful...\ |
| 447 | '''Sam:''' Danny?\ |
| 448 | '''Danny:''' ''[holds up a hand to get her to stop talking]'' When I get back... you better not be here. ''[begins his flight towards [[Franchise/Ben10 Bellwood]]]''\ |
| 449 | '''Danielle:''' ''[Turns to Sam]'' If I melt, it's your fault. [[PoorCommunicationKills If you were just honest, or if you told Danny what you did]], phone or no phone, we wouldn't be here.\ |
| 450 | '''Sam:''' ''[Turns to Jazz]'' [[EntitledBastard You're playing big sister for her too, you gonna let her disrespect me]]?\ |
| 451 | '''Jazz:''' I’ll let her know when I think she said something wrong.\ |
| 452 | '''Sam:''' I... I... [[NeverMyFault If Danny had just told me that Gwen had these powers at the start, I’d-]]\ |
| 453 | '''Jazz:''' DON'T YOU '''''DARE''''' TRY TO PIN THE BLAME ON MY BROTHER!\ |
| 454 | ''[[[BewareTheNiceOnes Everybody left in the room recoils at Jazz’s anger]]]''\ |
| 455 | '''Tucker:''' Whoa... I've never seen her like this…\ |
| 456 | '''Danielle:''' Me neither, and I've spent 80% of my time here with her. Admittedly, you've known her longer but she's been super fun and cool to me.\ |
| 457 | '''Jazz:''' Unlike ''you'', my brother was proving to Gwen that she could trust him by keeping her powers a secret!\ |
| 458 | '''Sam:''' [[ItsAllAboutMe What about MY trust?!]]\ |
| 459 | '''Danielle:''' You have no right to talk about trust when ''you'' can't be trusted. He was going to tell you and Tucker once Gwen gave the okay.\ |
| 460 | '''Sam:''' I’m just saying if I... if I had been told then-\ |
| 461 | '''Jazz:''' [[BigShutUp SHUT UP!]] SAM! [[WhatTheHellHero THIS WHOLE THING IS YOUR FAULT! YOUR ACTIONS RUINED GWEN'S RELATIONSHIP WITH DANNY AND ENDANGERED DANIELLE'S LIFE AND THE WHOLE WORLD TOO IF DANNY CAN'T MAKE IT IN TIME!]]\ |
| 462 | '''Tucker:''' ''[whispering to Danielle]'' Wow… are we sure the alien conqueror is the scariest thing right now?\ |
| 463 | '''Jazz:''' YOU NEVER TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANYTHING! [[FreakLabAccident YOU CONVINCED HIM TO GO INTO THAT STUPID PORTAL!]]\ |
| 464 | '''Sam:''' Hey! He wanted to go in, I just encouraged him! How is it bad I was there?! If it wasn't for me, we'd have been overrun by ghosts and Danielle there wou-“\ |
| 465 | '''Danielle:''' Don't use me to help your case!\ |
| 466 | '''Jazz:''' What about the vegan menu?!\ |
| 467 | '''Sam:''' [[InsistentTerminology It's Ultra-Recycl-]]\ |
| 468 | '''Jazz:''' IT'S VEGAN! [[{{Hipster}} STOP GIVING IT MADE UP NAMES BECAUSE YOU DON'T LIKE MAINSTREAM TERMS]]! ALSO, EVEN AFTER YOU ANGERED A GHOST, YOU DIDN'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY! YOU LET A GORILLA OUT AND THREATENED TO SHOW EVERYONE A PICTURE OF TUCKER AND DANNY HUGGING TO KEEP THEM QUIET! YES, I KNOW! \ |
| 469 | '''Tucker:''' For the record, Danny and I just don't want to give people the wrong idea…\ |
| 470 | '''Jazz:''' Oh... and you have the GALL to spy on Danny… TWICE! [[{{Hypocrite}} Considering you lost your temper when he spied on you with a boy you didn't even know for a week]]!\ |
| 471 | '''Sam:''' [[MoralMyopia That's not the same thing!]]\ |
| 472 | '''Tucker:''' Yeah... it is.\ |
| 473 | '''Sam:''' Whose side are-\ |
| 474 | '''Tucker:''' Not yours right now. Gwen was always kinda cool, [[ClingyJealousGirl you just wanted to pick a fight]]. Honestly, her having powers was just an excuse for you to turn Danny against her despite it not being a good reason.\ |
| 475 | '''Jazz:''' You know, I ''used'' to hope that you and my brother would have gotten together, but now I'm glad that he did that service and met [[NiceGirl someone like Gwen]]! You don't '''''deserve''''' him!\ |
| 476 | '''Sam:''' W… what?!\ |
| 477 | '''Jazz:''' ''[Shoving Sam’s phone to her]'' Sam... Take your phone and GetOut!\ |

| 480 | -->'''Samus''': And as for [[DrJerk you]]. Do not fancy your ego while fighting those creatures. |
| 481 | -->'''Hiiro''': (''loses composure and punches Samus'') That might be true... But, I am fed up with your meddling! |
| 482 | ** In that same chapter, Hiiro returns the favor. |
| 483 | ---> '''Hiiro''': You really are [[AlphaBitch a despicable woman]]. [[SmugSuper To think you're very skilled with that belt]]. |
| 484 | --->'''Samus''': Just because I'm a woman, I have enough skill, intellect, and resources that can outmatch even the likes of you. I am much more deadly than a male. |
| 485 | --->'''Hiiro''': [[RageQuit I'm sick of dealing with you.]] |
| 486 | * In ''Fanfic/MassEffectHumanRevolution'' (a ''VideoGame/DeusExHumanRevolution'' and ''Franchise/MassEffect'' crossover), Hein gives a ''scathing'' one to Tali in Chapter 18 to call her out on her carried-over-from-the-Geth distrust of Adam due to his cyborg upgrades. |
| 487 | -->'''Hein''':Well, he'll no doubt need your expert hands again in the future, and I just want to make sure you don't suddenly go 'kill all the robots'. You know, because of that whole Geth/Quarian thing a few centuries back?\ |
| 488 | '''Tali''': I... I don't know how to feel about him. He saved me from Saren's clutches, but I don't know if I can respect the kind of man willing to sacrifice his own flesh for the sake of power. I mean, look at him! At which point did he decide that enough was enough? Did he decide at all? What is he willing to do to get more?\ |
| 489 | '''Hein''': I know... ''exactly'', what you mean. Zorah. But you don't need to worry about that with him: according to my research, Jensen's extensive augmentations were not of his choosing. It's all here, but let me sum it up for you: bad shit happened, he was torn up, and his boss decided to cram every piece of cutting-edge technology at his disposal to turn him into his own personal attack dog.\ |
| 490 | '''Tali''': ...What kind of sick monster would do that to someone?\ |
| 491 | '''Hein''': Someone that wanted answers? Justice? Revenge? Doesn't matter. But I believe that David Sarif, the man that did this, understood a simple truth: Those that crave power cannot hope to control it. They inevitably become consumed by a thirst for more. This is the great irony of the human -- no, the '''sentient''' condition. The only people you can trust with power... are those that do not want it. Those that never ask for it. Sarif saw that in Jensen, saw in him the perfect agent, one that could use the strength and abilities granted to him with both restraint and wisdom.\ |
| 492 | '''Tali''': What if you're wrong? What if this Sarif just wanted a killing machine, and that's exactly what he got?\ |
| 493 | '''Hein''': Am I now? Let's be honest here: anyone this heavily augmented would thrive as a warlord in the Terminus, where might makes right. Jensen? He tried his hands at being a ''farmer'' on Elysium. While many ran and cowered in their bunkers during the Blitz, Jensen took up arms to defend a people that did nothing but view him with suspicion and scorn. Over ten thousand people owe him their lives, and while all of them proved grateful in the end, The Alliance decided that this would not do, and had their buddies in the Templars burn his home. He then spent the next six to seven years righting wrongs and capturing dangerous criminals, making the Citadel a safer place and earning the respect of his co-workers in C-Sec. His reward for that? The Alliance plots to capture him and sell him out to the Order for making vanilla humans look bad. He saves the life of a Quarian Pilgrim, exposing a corrupt Spectre in the process? The Council doesn't even pat him on the head, and the pilgrim can't get past his mechanical parts and views him with ''suspicion and fear''. |
| 494 | * In the ''Fanfic/MeanwhileBackOnEarth'' subfic ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/collections/Meanwhile_Back_On_Earth/works/46175275 The Queen & The Core: Revelation, Devastation and Confrontation]]'', Marcy Wu absolutely tears into the Core, who is appearing to her separately as Aldrich and Darcy. |
| 495 | -->'''Marcy''': The funny part is that we’re so different on the surface— well, I guess you and I are actually pretty similar on the surface, since you’re ''literally wearing my body'', but that’s besides the point. The point is, when you get right down to it, we’re pretty much the same! Seriously, listening to you guys was like if I went up to a fun house mirror, and my reflection suddenly started talking!\ |
| 496 | '''Aldrich''': You little worm! You, a single, measly human, dare equate yourself to us? To [[AGodAmI a god]]!?\ |
| 497 | '''Marcy''': Oh, you'd ''love'' to be a god, wouldn't you? To be omnipotent? To never have to worry about dying, or making mistakes, or not knowing everything, or feeling anything?\ |
| 498 | '''Darcy''': Are you suggesting that we are not?\ |
| 499 | '''Marcy''': I ''know'' you're not. You can fool yourselves and everyone else, but you can’t fool me. I know what you are. You’re no god. You’re not even a real computer. You’re just a bunch of 20th-level escapists, the biggest [[DirtyCoward cowards]] in the multiverse.\ |
| 500 | '''Aldrich''': Wh…What nonsense! We are the esteemed House of Leviathan, the greatest conquerors who have ever lived! We have never cowered from anything! All others cower before us!\ |
| 501 | '''Marcy''': Oh, puh-''lease''. The entire history of your "esteemed house" is basically you guys running and hiding from all of your problems. In fact, since I apparently have nothing left to lose, how about I list some of the highlights? First of all, you ran away from death. I’m guessing that somewhere down the line, one of you had an existential crisis. For most folks, that would lead to an epiphany about how valuable life is or something, but since the very idea of change is an affront to your senses, it led to you hiding yourselves inside a giant, metal beach ball instead.\ |
| 502 | '''Aldrich''': [[ShutUpKirk Be silent, you impudent whelp!]]\ |
| 503 | '''Marcy''': No, I don’t think I will. Where was I? Oh, right. That time when the Calamity Box was lost, and you spent the next millennium camping out in your basement. Did you even ''try'' to figure out a way to maintain your civilization that didn’t involve colonizing other worlds? I guess not, huh? Better to wallow in self-pity and let Andrias clean up your mess for you.\ |
| 504 | '''Darcy''': Shut your mouth! You couldn't possibly fathom what it was like! Our way of life was ruined overnight, and all because of Andrias’ sentimentality! That fool’s trust in his "friends" led to the regression and stagnation of our empire!\ |
| 505 | '''Marcy''': As I just said, you chose to let that happen. Blaming Andrias for your problems is just another form of cowardice. And even after a thousand years, after all the things he’s done to redeem himself in your eyes, even after he ''literally stabbed me in the back'', he’ll never really be good enough for you, will he? Honestly, it’s no wonder he’s so screwed up when his family is [[BigScrewedUpFamily this awful]]. Really puts my own family life into perspective.\ |
| 506 | '''Aldrich:''' You would deign to lecture us on how we raise our—\ |
| 507 | '''Marcy:''' And that’s just the stuff I know about! With how much you’ve probably [[WrittenByTheWinners whitewashed Amphibia’s history]], there’s got to be a million other examples that will go unmentioned, because no records of them exist anymore! I just realized. That whole thing with the Order of the Olm was your doing, wasn’t it? You were Ernst’s mysterious benefactors! All those libraries, all of that knowledge, culture, and history, and you had them burned down! Why? Even if you were afraid that I’d learn the truth about the box, did ''everything'' have to be destroyed?!\ |
| 508 | '''Darcy:''' For your information, we didn’t give that order out of fear of you, so don’t flatter yourself. We had always planned to do so eventually, but your arrival made it more of a priority, so really, [[NeverMyFault you’re the one to blame]]. Why are you so concerned, anyway? Surely, the few scrolls you recovered from those libraries showed you that they contained nothing but lies and foolish thoughts. Better to free up the space for more useful things.\ |
| 509 | '''Marcy:''' Lies and foolish thoughts? What, like how people realized the way you were living back then was unsustainable? Like them thinking that conquering other worlds and destroying their civilizations just to bolster your own is ''wrong''? You guys are hacks! You don’t care about knowledge, culture, history, philosophy, or anything like that, unless it serves as proof of your bogus "greatness!" No one in their right mind would ''ever'' want to join you!\ |
| 510 | '''Aldrich:''' ''Preposterous!'' Did you not pay attention to all that we showed you? Our endless list of accomplishments, conquests, and victories?! We ''are'' great! ''Anyone'' would want to be one of us! How can you possibly not be smart enough to understand that!?\ |
| 511 | '''Marcy:''' News flash, your Highness! Greatness is subjective! What’s considered great changes with the times, and both Amphibia and Earth have moved on from your sick, twisted definition. How are ''you'' not smart enough to realize ''that!?'' No, my mistake. You ''have'' realized it, haven’t you? You just can’t accept it, because the only thing that’s really great about you guys is [[ItsAllAboutMe your great, big]] ''[[ItsAllAboutMe EGOS!]]'' ''(Aldrich and Darcy don't respond, Marcy can tell she truly shook them with her words)'' Heh, what's the matter? Are you allergic to the truth, too? [[NotSoDifferentRemark We're not so different after all, are we?]]\ |
| 512 | '''Aldrich:''' ''You''… you want your olms-forsaken ''truth''?\ |
| 513 | '''Darcy:''' Fine!\ |
| 514 | '''Aldrich & Darcy:''' ''THEN TAKE IT!''\ |
| 515 | ''(They send a tornado of negative thoughts toward Marcy, intent on fully breaking her)''\ |
| 516 | '''Aldrich:''' You dare to call ''us'' cowards? To question ''our greatness!?''\ |
| 517 | '''Darcy:''' ''No one'' speaks to us that way!\ |
| 518 | '''Aldrich & Darcy:''' ''FOR WE ARE THE CORE, THE GOD IN THE MACHINE, THE RIGHTFUL RULERS OF ALL OF EXISTENCE!!!''\ |
| 519 | ''(They dissipate the tornado, revealing Marcy is [[NoSell completely unaffected]])''\ |
| 520 | '''Marcy:''' You know, if what you’ve told me is true, then I’m willing to bet the Transmitter is showing this conversation to everyone on Earth right now. I ''really'' hope so. I hope they're all seeing this and realizing the truth. That you’re nothing but a bunch of cowardly, selfish, heartless, outdated, miserable ''bullies'' who refused to let go of the past and decided to drag everyone down with you. |
| 521 | * ''Fanfic/MetalGearGreen'': Upon Aizawa trying to get up to teach when he should be spending the rest of his time in bed, Ocelot and Recovery Girl both give a scathing one to Aizawa, pointing out how his teaching methods did more harm than good. |
| 522 | --> '''Aizawa''': The alternative is letting him be in charge though,\ |
| 523 | '''Ocelot''': Please, you didn’t do much to begin with. Half the time I popped into your class I found you napping away,\ |
| 524 | '''Aizawa''': It’s to make them independent. If they have to rely on me to get anything done, then they’ll never make it on the field,\ |
| 525 | '''Ocelot''': As if that's better. You’re having them figure it out themselves, and that means turning to the internet for advice. [[SarcasmMode The famously trustworthy internet,]]\ |
| 526 | '''Aizawa''': [[DramaticallyMissingThePoint If that’s where they turn to, then it just shows their lack of common sense,]]\ |
| 527 | '''Ocelot''': Or your lack of credibility.\ |
| 528 | '''Aizawa''': Why do you even care?\ |
| 529 | '''Ocelot''': I don't! And that's the problem! I don’t care because I barely know these kids! I’m the HPSC rep that pops in randomly, and yet I’ve given better advice to them in their first week than you’ve given to a class in years.\ |
| 530 | '''Aizawa''': As if.\ |
| 531 | '''Recovery Girl''': Well... There was a drastic drop in wounded students whenever Ocelot took over your classes.\ |
| 532 | '''Aizawa''': [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe You’re seriously siding with him?]]\ |
| 533 | '''Recovery Girl''': Aizawa, half of the injuries that come here are from your class. Almost all of those are [[SelfHarm self-inflicted accidents,]]\ |
| 534 | '''Aizawa''': [[DramaticallyMissingThePoint All that means is that they need to do better-]]\ |
| 535 | '''Ocelot''': [[RageBreakingPoint Damn it Aizawa, Fudaki died because of your teaching methods!]] Because you refused to set him straight on day one, he charged in thinking he could defeat them by himself. [[ArmorPiercingQuestion How the hell can you still say your methods work, after all that?]]\ |
| 536 | '''Aizawa''': [[IRejectYourReality W-What? No, Fudaki isn’t dead… I would know if he was dead, I was there,]]\ |
| 537 | '''Ocelot''': Aizawa, he died right in front of you. The police have the body to prove it,\ |
| 538 | '''Aizawa''': [[IRejectYourReality Ocelot if this is another one of your damn pranks, I’ll strangle you with my scarf,]]\ |
| 539 | '''Recovery Girl''': This isn’t a prank, he’s dead,\ |
| 540 | '''Aizawa''': [[IRejectYourReality N-no… he’s… we were by the plaza, and…]] [[DudeNotFunny Recovery Girl, I don’t know why you’re helping him in this, but this is illogical. Why you think it's funny to try and convince me a student has died, I’ll never know.]]\ |
| 541 | '''Ocelot''': And this is why you are unfit to teach. (turns to Recovery Girl) I’m going to start a lesson plan for tomorrow,\ |
| 542 | '''Aizawa''': The hell you are-([[KnockoutGas gets shot by one of Ocelot's tranq rounds]]). |

| 544 | ** {{Defied|Trope}} when Kana meets with [[OriginalCharacter Ceylon]] during her farewell party a year ago. Ceylon, having alienated the team as a result of [[BadBoss her leadership]], wonders why Kana, who particularly disliked her, is not as hostile. Kana's answer has a similar effect. |
| 545 | --->'''Kana''': "Hello, Ceylon-sama. I'd just like to let you know that [[StealthInsult St. Gloriana won't be the same once you're gone]]." |
| 546 | --->'''Ceylon''': "Ikeda-san, I am not ignorant of your enmity toward me, nor am I blind to that of others. But I had thought that people like you would have made your feelings more obvious at the time of my departure." |
| 547 | --->'''Kana''': "The thought occurred to me, ''Ceylon.'' But, as you said, it's almost over; I'm here mainly for your successor, not to take a parting shot at you. You're not worth it." |
| 548 | ** When Teru confronts {{Manga/Saki}} after [[spoiler:Saki's tank stalled in the river]], she gives Saki a brutal one that reveals the cause of the rift between them. |
| 549 | --->'''Teru''': "History repeats itself, doesn't it? Again, you get into trouble, and again, someone has to bail you out of it. Who paid the price for your inability to save yourself this time?" |
| 550 | --->'''Saki''': "I...I don't understand, Onee-chan. You've been angry with me ever since... Mizuho went away." |
| 551 | --->'''Teru''': "[[WhamLine Mizuho]] [[spoiler:is '''DEAD''', Saki! Dead ''because of YOU'']]!" |
| 552 | --->'''Saki''': "I... I had no idea." |
| 553 | --->'''Teru''': "Of course you didn't! You want us to turn back the clock, back to the days when we pretended we were one happy family, Saki? How could we when [[spoiler:one of us is gone and won't ever come back]]? When you act as though she was never part of our family to begin with?" |
| 554 | ** Near the start of ''Necessary to Win: Paths Toward Victory'', Masae gives one to Shiho regarding her considering disowning Miho, and claiming that it was one of many "difficult decisions that are necessary to win." |
| 555 | --->'''Masae''': "My opposition to threatening Miho with being disowned should she lose goes beyond tankery ideology. As a sister, I cannot condone separating Miho and Maho that way. As a [[GoodParents mother]], I would not even consider casting out my children over something like tankery. And as the wife of a man who was cast out of his own family, I know what it means for a child to be disowned. And I know the truly difficult choices are. My husband made a difficult decision when he chose the woman he loved over his parents, whom he loved as well. Maho made a difficult decision when she committed herself to become Nishizumi heiress so her sister could live freely. Miho made a difficult decision when she saved a tank, knowing that she would bear the blame of her team being defeated. Disowning one's child over a personal disagreement is ''not'' a difficult decision- how dare you try to characterize it as such!" |
| 556 | * In "[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11573572/1/A-New-Angel-a-New-Fate A New Angel, a New Fate]]", after the [[Series/DoctorWho Eighth Doctor]] essentially becomes the new scientific advisor for the [[Series/BattlestarGalactica2003 Colonial Fleet]] , he delivers his own versions of these speeches to Gaius Baltar. While the Doctor is always civil when talking with Baltar, he makes it clear that he considers the man's belief in destiny a sign of Baltar being incapable of taking responsibility for his own decisions, that Baltar seeks to cause controversy just to keep himself in the news rather than because he wants to enact change, and that ultimately Baltar is an idiot who doesn't understand just how stupid he really is. |
| 557 | * ''Fanfic/NickelodeonHeroes'': During ''Part II'', Jenny calls Vexus out and claims that for all her claims that she's liberating robots from humans, she doesn't practice what she preaches. |
| 558 | --> '''Jenny:''' So I guess taking all of those robots' power chips on Cluster Prime was free will! I guess controlling my best friend's girlfriend and turning her against me and my friends was free will too! You have no idea what free will is! Better yet, how can you say machines can do better in this universe? You and your army can't even defend yourselves, that you have to rely on using technology from other aliens! Face it, Vexus. You're not doing any machine a favor. You're just a hypocritical pile of bolts! In fact, you're just as, if not, more cruel and weak as what you believe are humans! |
| 559 | * ''Fanfic/TheNightUnfurls'': Rest assured: these speeches are of reasonable length, compared to other examples. |
| 560 | ** Chapter 7, remastered version: Kyril gives one to Chloe to show his [[DisappointedInYou disappointment]] towards her. |
| 561 | --->'''Kyril:''' You forget your place. You are a prisoner here, not an equal. You are here because your liege lady beggared for your presence here in exchange for her surrender to me. But your incapability to cooperate is becoming a liability. Do not continue testing my patience by antagonizing another member of this camp or I will [[DeadlyEuphemism rescind my amnesty]]. |
| 562 | ** Chapter 12 of the remastered version: Kyril gives a scathing one to the Seven Shields after [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomping]] Alicia and Maia in a [[TrialByCombat trial by combat]], furious at being accused of conspiracy against the Crown. |
| 563 | --->'''Kyril:''' I overestimated you. [[spoiler:Vault didn't even get the chance to beg for mercy. I simply destroyed him, do you want to know why? Because he tried to kill me when I told him no.]] I finished my job but you refused to see the truth of it, instead making a childish accusation that I would conspire against the crown. You seem to think me so craven. [[IfIWantedYouDead If I had chosen to do so, I would have severed your Goddess's head from her shoulders the moment I walked into that throne room]]. None of you would have been able to stop me. The only reason you're still alive is because I still have business to attend to. [[NotWorthKilling And you are all not even worth killing]]. Especially you (Alicia). Weakling. |
| 564 | * When Shinso blames Izuku for not being admitted into the hero course in ''FanFic/OnePunchDeku'', Izuku gives him a piece of his mind. |
| 565 | --> '''Izuku''': I want you to listen to me for a moment. Can you honestly say, without a shadow of a doubt that you gave it your all, trying to get into this place? Did you not care what the world thought of you, did you push yourself to the limit daily, until your whole body burned and you puked blood? Because that's what I did to get into U.A. I relied on no one but myself. I broke through the limits set onto me by society. Did you do the same? Tell me, yes, and I will walk out of this ring right now, and resign. Then you can have my spot in the hero course. I don't care if you lie since you'll be only lying to yourself, and be weeded out before the end of the semester. And don't you start wallowing in self-pity. If you spend even a minute thinking, you'd realize how amazing your quirk is. Of course, you'll never be like All Might. But if that's what made you want to become a hero, then give up right now. But, if you want to become a hero, to prove the world wrong, to do good, then you better be prepared to give it your all. If you have a dream, then you must be prepared to do anything, even become deaf to the screams of the world, telling you you'll fail. |
| 566 | * The ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}''/''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' crossover ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12139359/1/One-Sunny-Day One Sunny Day]]'' has Counter Guardian EMIYA give rather scathing ones to Ruby and Yang about the former's reasoning for wanting to be a hero, seeing her at risk of falling down the same path that caused Shirou Emiya to become him: |
| 567 | ** To Ruby: |
| 568 | --->'''EMIYA:''' I couldn't help but overhear your friend over here talking about fairy tales and saving everyone. And I have to say, you sound like a foolish child.\ |
| 569 | '''Yang:''' Hey! Don't talk to my sister like that! Even if you're cute, I won't let-\ |
| 570 | '''EMIYA:''' I am merely speaking the truth. She wants to save people because she wants her life to be that of fairy tales and bedside stories for children. It is nothing but childish naivete. Better men than you have tried to save the world and failed, and you mean to tell me that at the end of the day, the reason you charge into battle against monsters and protect the innocent is because of the tales your father told you before tucking you into bed? Pathetic.\ |
| 571 | '''Ruby:''' Hey, you meanie! I thought you were going to be a nice guy, for saving Weiss, but you're starting to sound really rude. Who're you to tell me that my dream is dumb! You can't say that you can't do it until you've tried, and be-\ |
| 572 | '''EMIYA:''' [[WhamLine I have]]. ''(Ruby's eyes widen)''\ |
| 573 | '''Yang:''' What do you mean, you have? That you've seriously tried saving everyone? I call bull.\ |
| 574 | '''EMIYA:''' I don't care what you believe. I've a feeling that we're gonna be around each other's company far more often, so I'll say this now: I ''have'' tried saving everyone. My whole life was dedicated to that one purpose. I didn't want to see anyone cry if I could help it. But during my life, I have been constantly betrayed by the same ideals that I held dearly. That's why I can speak about it with such certainty. I have fought through countless battles, seen more war than I care to remember, waded through Hell far too much for any one person, and killed more people than I could ever atone for, all for what? |
| 575 | --->I didn't want to do it because of myself, only so I could brag about what I had done. [[Literature/FateZero I, too, was saved, once upon a time]]. And all I wanted was to feel the same emotions that I saw in the face of the man when he saved me. But I wasted my life trying in vain to save someone without ever having to kill another. ''(turns to leave)'' Do not misunderstand me when I call you foolish. I believe that your wish is noble and worth striving for. If you think there's even the slightest chance your dream can be realized, you should take it. Just know that if you seek to create any kind of paradise for anyone, it will mean walking right into Hell. If you're going to subject yourself to something like that, make sure your reason for doing so isn't one that will drag you down and drown you. The real world is nothing like fairy tales, little girl. It's cold, cruel, unfair, and if you give it the chance, it will tear you and your ideals to pieces without hesitation. |
| 576 | ** To Yang: |
| 577 | --->'''Yang:''' What is your problem, ''Archer''? You seemed to be perfectly fine on the road back to Beacon, but now, you're acting like a complete asshole to us, especially my sister. Who the hell do you think you are, trying to put my little sister down like that!\ |
| 578 | '''EMIYA:''' I told you, I'm just a lowly Guardian, Xiao Long. I believe I need to meet the headmaster in the courtyard, so if you don't mind I'll be off. ''(begins walking away, only for Yang to tug him back around and throw a punch at him, which he catches)''\ |
| 579 | '''Yang:''' Hey, let go of me! ''(struggles to free herself, but freezes upon seeing EMIYA's steely gaze)''\ |
| 580 | '''EMIYA:''' Pathetic, trying to assault me just because you don't like what I told your sister. What are you, a toddler? Is this what your academy has to offer? Tell me, ''girl'': why did you choose to become a huntress? To follow that stupid dream your sister has?\ |
| 581 | '''Yang:''' [[BigShutUp Shut up! Shut up, shut up!]] Her dream isn't stupid! It's beautiful! It's amazing! You can't possibly know anything about saving people, you asshole! I became a huntress so I could protect her! So I can have a little excitement and do something with my life!\ |
| 582 | '''EMIYA:''' Yes, it is a beautiful dream...''(gaze softens, then hardens again)'' Yet her dream is completely useless and doomed to fail if her reasons are utterly pathetic! ''(throws Yang away from him)'' Ruby and I both have the same dream, but unlike your sister, my reason isn't some naïve delusion! I strove to protect those who weren't able to protect themselves. I strove to save those who were beyond saving! I strove to feel that same happiness my father felt when he saved me! Your sister's reason for following her dream is because she wants to live in a fantasy land!\ |
| 583 | '''Yang:''' You...you!\ |
| 584 | '''EMIYA:''' Silence, girl! How can she expect to find the power and determination to change the world if the only thing she has that drives her is the fact that she wishes to become some sort of fairy tale! Look around! Life isn't some sort of fantasy! People died today because you and your comrades couldn't protect them! What are you going to do about that? Get irate and punch your way out of it like you tried to punch me? ''(punches Yang in the stomach, driving her to one knee)'' Even you, your goals are just as MEANINGLESS! You're training to become a huntress, girl, not just some monster hunter seeking a cheap thrill! Don't be a fool unless you want to die a fool's death! This isn't some kind of sport, where the winner's the one who brings home the most kills! This is a war! A war against the scourge known as Grimm by humanity itself! If you treat it as if it's a game to partake in for your own entertainment, then people will die. You endanger not only yourself with your foolishness, but also your sister, your friends, your teammates, and all the people you are meant to protect.\ |
| 585 | '''Yang:''' J-just-\ |
| 586 | '''EMIYA:''' Unlike you, ''girl'', I know a few things about life! You're just but a little girl in a world full of ''monsters''. Don't act like you have more perspective than your naïve sister back there. You're both the same! How can you expect her to become strong enough to pursue a goal such as hers when you coddle her? I, too, was weak at one point, much like your sister. I was foolish enough to believe in an ideal I couldn't hope of realizing. However ''unlike'' her, I grew. I became strong enough to understand what my ideals really meant. But it was only after those same ideals broke me. You, your sister, and everyone else in this school, are children in a world filled with monsters. And there are three things that happen to such children: they run away so they can continue being children, they grow up so they can be strong enough to defeat the monsters, or they die. You and your sister are fortunate in that you're both still young enough that you can decide which of these paths you will take, and assuming you're not like me when I was your age, you'll make that choice while you still can. If not, one day [[NotSoDifferentRemark your sister might just wake up and find she's become me]].\ |
| 587 | '''Yang:''' Ruby's nothing like you!\ |
| 588 | '''EMIYA:''' For her sake, I pray you're right. |

When she is confronted by Flash and Principal Celestia over her lie she threatens to go to the police with her fake information until Flash gives her a threat of his own that forces her to step down. |
| 594 | --->'''Flash''': "You do and I'll expose you. Everything. I don't even care anymore. Just because I can't prove any of it, doesn't mean I can't do exactly what you just did to me. You'll never be able to show your face in this school again. (...) Let's see...there's what you did to me, for starters, that'll be the toughest one to get anybody to believe, but I have plenty of witnesses. Then there's what happened with Pinkie Pie's family. We know that was you. And we know Snails got himself expelled because he was afraid of what'd happen if he ratted you out. [[spoiler: And you killed Snips.]] I can't prove it, but I know you had something to do with it. (...) Alright, we'll do it that way, even without [[spoiler: Snips' murder]], I've still got enough on you to convince at least half the school you're a total sociopath. I'm not afraid of you, you sick little bitch. I'm sick of you, I'm sick of your shit. Stop fucking with me and my friends. Leave us alone. If you don't, I will make your life even more of a living hell than you've made mine." |

| 596 | --->'''Twilight''': "What is WRONG with you? When have any of us ever done anything but try to be your friend...and then all this time, you've been working against us, fighting us, trying to hurt us...And even then, we...We just want...to reach out to you..." |
| 597 | --->'''Cadance''': "ALL OF YOU stop it! We're all going to make it through this alive, but we have to work together. That means you too, [[spoiler: Fluttershy]]. Twilight's right, you have a choice to make. You can drop the attitude and join us, or you can keep acting like Sunset Shimmer. |
| 598 | --->'''[[spoiler:Fluttershy]]''': "N-no...I'm not like...her..." |
| 599 | --->'''Cadance''': "Yes you are. Only worse, because you betrayed all of us. You pretended to be our friend. You've hurt all of us. I don't know if you care about that or not, but...So what's it going to be? Are you going to start making amends? Are you going to stop being as bitchy as you can possibly be to everyone and at least TRY to earn back our trust? Because if you want to keep acting like that and being a spiteful little cunt, I'll call Principal Celestia as soon we get out of this mess. We'll go back to Canterlot today and I'll have you in a jail cell before you know what hit you. This is it, [[spoiler: Fluttershy]]. This is your last chance. Whose side are you on?" |
| 600 | * ''Fanfic/PirateHeroes'': Zoro gives one to Crocodile when the Warlord reveals his plan to find and take control of Pluton, calling Crocodile out for giving up on self-improvement and looking for an easy path to power. It backfires, because Zoro managed to reawaken Crocodile’s pirate spirit, and in turn awaken his Haki. |
| 601 | * In ''Fanfic/QueenOfBloodSirWill'' (a ''VideoGame/{{Castlevania}}''[=/=]''Literature/{{Worm}}'' crossover) both Dracul and Taylor give particularly epic ones to Jack Slash. |
| 602 | -->'''Dracul:''' [...]Jack. The moment you were touched by the fragment of the abomination. The power you wield even now. When it touched you, my power did as well. It touched you, evaluated you, and you were found ''wanting''. [...]You are up against something of which you have no comprehension. You face your end, and you are too blind to see it. Idiot. [...]I do not need to be physically here for one such as you, little man. For I am Dracul, Lord of Darkness. I am the thing you pretend to be with you(r) disgusting little mockery.\ |
| 603 | '''Jack Slash:''' If you are a 'Lord of Darkness', as you say, then you would understand what I'm doing. I’m showing the world how it really is. It’s ''fucked'' up. I’m just stripping away the veneer of civility to show what people really are. We’re monsters, all of us. I’ve just embraced it. I can show everyone how much fun it is. I’ve felt the sheer joy of being without rules, without limits. I know the rush of unlimited freedom. Everyone trembles when I come to town. Can you say the same? Oh, I know well the seduction of warfare. The joy of cutting a bloody swathe through my foes. Of seeing my enemies cower and tremble at my name. But you? You are a tiny gnat. For what end is your carnage pushed towards, hm? You commit horror after horror, and there is no purpose beyond your own pathetic pleasure. I learned much through my successor's eyes, and you little man are no different than countless others that have walked both mine and your world. Scrambling around pointlessly, biting everything that crosses your path, like a ''rabid dog''.\ |
| 604 | '''Jack Slash:''' Hardly rabid. I know exactly what I’m doing. I will be known as one of the greatest men in history. The greatest monster of modern times. People will know my name a millennium from now. How many of the little peons down there are going to be remembered, hm? They’re going to be lost in history, forever, as if they never were. At least when I kill them, they have the honor of being another number attached to my name.\ |
| 605 | '''Dracul:''' Immortality through fame. Fool. Leaving a pathetic mark with no rhyme or purpose. A child befouling his bed, if only to ensure no one else will sleep in it. [...] None will make a statue of you. There will be no kingdom of yours. You will be reviled, and the scars of those you’ve harmed will heal, and within a century, no one will care that you lived. [...] You have watched her, yes? Do you wish to know something interesting? [...] My power touched many when searching for a worthy successor. Thousands bear the slightest scent, the faintest marking, of when I sent it to search for one to sit upon my throne. ''You'' are one, ''Jack''. You could have been the Dragon. You could have led this world into a new age, changed it to your vision. But you are a pathetic child. You would have been consumed by my power, ran around with it like an idiot, fulfilling every small whim, and never having a vision greater than simple ''destruction''. I can see in your ''mind'', little man. Your dreams are ''small''. Your excuses are flimsy justifications to let yourself spill blood and giggle at the horror you sow. You did not begin this with a prize in mind, you do all this for the pleasure of it, nothing more. [...] In a millennium, there will be those who serve the Scarlet Dragon. There will be those who build monuments to her glory. There will be temples to her might. But you? Take heart. You and your merry band of children ''will'' be remembered, Jack. As just another cobblestone on the road to ''her'' kingdom. One name among many, no more noteworthy than any other.\ |
| 606 | '''Jack Slash:''' “We’ll see about that, won’t we? I’ll take your precious little dragon and turn her to the proper way of thinking. I’m sure she’ll make a magnificent little guard dog for Bonesaw. She’ll be a happy little psychopath, running around with my illustrious partners, soaking in the blood of everyone she comes across and reveling in it. Or how about having her turn those beasties on that island of hers loose? I can see the fires rising everywhere already!\ |
| 607 | '''Dracul:''' You still do not understand. One does not ''collar'' a dragon, little man. You are an annoyance, nothing more. In all your time wandering and murdering, you have accomplished ''nothing'' of respect. People fear you, but there are none who would follow your ideals without being as broken as you first. When I discovered a ''god'' ruined my life, I sought to kill that god. It took me eight centuries, but in all that time, every drop of blood I spilled was toward that ultimate end. The chance to end him. You? You simply kill. When I faced the abyss, I walked into it, letting it subsume me. My entire world feared my hatred. You, the ''moment'' you discovered the world was not what you believed, threw yourself into it without a care. You blinked. You ''broke''. And instead of being relieved, you decided to make the world the nightmare you believed it was. ''Pathetic''. [...] Yes, I know. Your mind is open to me, ''Jack''. You show others the abyss. You drag them down to your level. You break them and twist them and turn their souls into twisted mockeries of your own, and you do it for the simple ''pleasure'', regardless of the lies you tell yourself. You have nothing but your own twisted ''thrills'' and pathetic delusions. But she? Ah....she is ''more'' than that. She can master the darkness. As I only did long after I fell to it. You are beneath me, little man. And you are beneath her. |
| 608 | ** And later, from Taylor to Jack: |
| 609 | --->'''Taylor:''' It's easy to break things, Jack. It's easy to kill people. It's harder to lead them, and harder still to inspire them. What have you got that's worth my time, Jack? You're an irritant. An annoying stone in the bottom of my boot. All you've done is run around like a complete idiot, enjoying a few giggles while the adults try to get something done. [...] What's the matter? Not having any fun now? Thought you'd get to have a good laugh, play a little bloody joke on me, giggling behind my back as you pointed me in amusing directions like a dog on a leash? Perhaps hoping I'd do a few tricks, grinning as you got the Dragon on your side? [...] This reeks of desperation, little man. A last shot at trying to make an impression on the people who actually ''matter.'' [...] When I'm done here today, I'm going to go home, make myself a nice drink, and forget all about you. This isn't even a game to me, Jack. You're a pest. You're a cockroach, and this time you can't scurry away into the darkness before the boot comes down. The only thing anyone's going to say about you after today is, "good riddance," and move on. Your obituary's going to say, "Here died Jack Slash, a complete waste of oxygen. He died as he lived, accomplishing ''jack shit.''" A shame your dad didn't just save us all the trouble and ''cut your throat when you were born.'' |
| 610 | * ''Fanfic/ThePokemonSquad'' has several. |
| 611 | ** From "A Little Bit of Monika": |
| 612 | --->'''[[VisualNovel/DokiDokiLiteratureClub Monika]] (angrily):''' I can't take this anymore, I've already told you more than enough times that you don't need to do any of this. I get it, you're appreciative of me and want to show it. I already know how appreciative you are. At this point this is just seeming clingy and creepy. [[AtLeastIAdmitIt And I would know!]] [[ItMakesSenseInContext I've deleted like five of your friends and reset time at least twice to keep you to myself]]! But you insist on upstaging me, and smothering me, and walling me in with all these gifts so if I leave I'll feel guilty!\ |
| 613 | '''[[JerkWithAHeartOfGold RM]]:''' That's not my reason for the gifts though.\ |
| 614 | '''Monika:''' That doesn't matter, the result is what matters. But guess what? I don't care anymore! I'm done with you! I'm resetting time again, we're through! |
| 615 | ** "The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Life of Timothy Green": |
| 616 | --->'''Timothy:''' You know what? I'm finished being sweet and adorable. (Nick jingle) you, Dad!\ |
| 617 | '''RM (shocked):''' WHAT did you just say?!\ |
| 618 | '''Timothy:''' Yeah, (Nick jingle) you! You're the worst parent possible! First that god(Nick jingle) mother(Nick jingle)ing parenting book by [[WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents the Turners]], now you can't parent at all on your own! And you know what? I've had diarrhea after every god(Nick jingle) meal you've prepared me! That is, WHEN YOU DO PREPARE A MEAL. I'm (Nick jingle)ing through, I'm running away to join the (Nick jingle) circus or some (Nick jingle). (Nick jingle) you, Dad. |
| 619 | ** In "Nobody Cares About the Bears", MM gives one to RM for his FanHater-charged remarks towards Ash. |
| 620 | --->'''MM:''' You know, ICantBelieveImSayingThis, but I agree with Delia. I overheard from the hallway. RM, you're being even more of a prick than usual. You're acting like your opinions are the only ones that matter, and the only ones that are valid.\ |
| 621 | '''RM (laughing):''' Look, a ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest'' fan!\ |
| 622 | '''MM:''' (Nick jingle) off, I hate the show as much as anyone else with a brain. But at least I don't attack it and the people who do like it.\ |
| 623 | '''RM:''' But you just did.\ |
| 624 | '''MM:''' ...You're impossible to reason with while staying sane.\ |
| 625 | '''RM:''' Yes, I am. I'm told that on a regular basis whenever I try to explain why my opinions are superior.\ |
| 626 | '''MM:''' But they're not, you (Nick jingle)lord. But you're arrogant enough to insist that they are, even though they matter no more or less than anyone else's.\ |
| 627 | '''RM:''' I'm not arrogant, I have self-loathing issues.\ |
| 628 | '''MM:''' Then you're insecure. Whatever. One way or another, you act like your opinions are the only opinions of worth. But guess what? Nobody cares. |
| 629 | * In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10917821/25/The-questionable-burdens-of-leadership-of-a-troll-Emperor The (Questionable) Burdens of Leadership of a Troll Emperor]]'', [[PhysicalGod Xanna]] gives one to a religious fanatic after he tries to assassinate her for conquering Africa. She tells him how the religious attempting to kill her will only paint them as fools who believe faith to be more important than prosperity given that she's vastly increased the quality of life in the region. All they'll do is give her all the excuses she needs to do anything she wants and in the end, she'll be worshiped as Earth's new god while theirs is forgotten like the thousands who came before it. |
| 630 | * ''Fanfic/RickAndTheLoudHouse'' (''Franchise/RickAndMorty'', ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse''): Just like in his series proper, Rick loves to give these out. |
| 631 | ** In the first chapter, he calls out Lucy and Lincoln, and the rest of the Loud siblings by extension, for their frequent selfishness when the two accuse ''him'' of being selfish. |
| 632 | --->'''Rick:''' "You know what I think the problem is with both of you and the rest of your sisters? Y-you're all selfish! [[ItsAllAboutMe The only thing you care about is me, me, me]]. Like I know it's really stupid that there's only one TV and one bathroom in the whole house but y-you never try to work anything out. Y-you just fight over it! And now you're calling ''me'' selfish? How do you know I'm not doing something for everyone's benefit? You ever think about that L-Lincoln?" |
| 633 | ** In Chapter 3, Rick calls out the sisters again for believing that Ronnie Anne's bullying of Lincoln is a sign that she likes him. |
| 634 | --->'''Rick:''' "Seriously? Y-You think because this bully is a girl that she likes him? What is this? The nineties?" |
| 635 | --->'''Lori:''' ''(uneasy)'' "B-but, that's just how it is when boys and girls tease each other." |
| 636 | --->'''Rick:''' "You don't know this girl. You don't why she could be bullying Lincoln. She could just be a jerk. B-besides, what are you trying to teach him? That when someone treats you like crap and puts gum in your hair, it means they love you?" |
| 637 | * In the ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom''[=/=]''Film/{{Beetlejuice}}'' fanfiction, ''Fanfic/SayItThrice'', Lydia delivers one to the Fenton parents on their treatment and views concerning ghosts. And while they can easily write off her more emotional arguments as being the result of misplaced sympathy, they pay closer attention when she points out that just making assumptions rather than using the scientific method to determine whether ghosts could be considered people is [[SeriousBusiness bad scientific practices]]. |
| 638 | -->'''Lydia''': I understand some of the ghosts are dangerous. Honestly, I do. And I know they sometimes have to be stopped from hurting someone. But that ''doesn't'' mean you should treat them like unfeeling object. You can't just hurt them, experiment on them, torture them, or ''destroy'' them simply because you want to see if you can. There are laws to keep people from doing that to ''animals''. Why do you think it's right to do it to ghosts? |
| 639 | -->'''Maddie''': I know Sam is involved in those environmental causes and I'm guessing you might be too. And I know you probably didn't deal with ghosts before you came to Amity Park, but they [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman aren't really like people or animals]]. They don't have cells or other recognizable biological processes. |
| 640 | -->'''Lydia''': Of course not. They're ''ghosts''. Why should they be exactly the same? The ones you deal with come from another dimension. It would be stranger if everything was the same. But just because they're ghosts doesn't mean they aren't people too. |
| 641 | -->'''Jack''': That's a common misconception. They aren't the souls of the dearly departed coming back to haunt us. |
| 642 | -->'''Lydia''': Well, maybe not ''all'' of them. |
| 643 | -->'''Jack''': They are ectoplasmic manifestation that sometimes resembles post-human consciousness. They only ''look'' like people occasionally. |
| 644 | -->'''Lydia''': So just because they're made of ectoplasm instead of normal DNA or something and because you don't think they came from dead humans, that makes it okay? That makes it right to treat them like… like a model car you bought from the store that you want to smash with a hammer? Or a lifeless mannequin? Or like a bunch of mold samples under a microscope? No, it isn't right. |
| 645 | -->'''Maddie''': I know this upsets you for some reason. But you have to look at this more like a scientist. You can't get emotional and start anthropomorphizing them. Look at them objectively. |
| 646 | -->'''Lydia''': So ignore the fact that they provide clear demonstrations of emotions, pain responses, critical thinking skills, complicated thought processes, desires, motivations, and self-awareness? Fine. My grades in science aren't the greatest, but that's more because I didn't want to dissect a frog than because I didn't study. Let's ignore all that evidence that supports the idea that ghosts are sentient beings. Your hypothesis is apparently that ghosts aren't really sentient and deserve to be treated like inanimate objects. If I remember my scientific method correctly, that means you must have ''tested'' this hypothesis in a reasonable, repeatable experiment. You did test that hypothesis before your attempts to rip them apart, right? |
| 647 | -->{{Beat}} |
| 648 | -->'''Lydia''': You ''didn't''. You just assumed. Other scientists go around testing the intelligence and self-awareness of dolphins, chimps, and even ravens to find out how similar they are to people. They don't assume they couldn't have emotions and have critical thinking just because they live in the ocean, are covered in fur, or have wings. They study and test it in a ''humane'' method. But you ignore the possibility just because they're from somewhere else. They talk, think, and display clear emotions, but you ignore it. And then you base all your other experiments and theories and hypotheses off of that basic assumption. That means all your data could be flawed because you have an unproven and possibly incorrect assumption. That's not just cruel and heartless. That's ''bad science''. I can't help wondering how you determined that ghosts aren't dead people. Did you test that too or did you automatically ''assume'' it too? |
| 649 | * In the ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'' and ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'' crossover fanfiction ''Fanfic/AShadowOfTheTitans'', Jade gives a ''[[IncrediblyLamePun masterful]]'' one to the Master of Games during the last fight of the Tournament of Villainesses after he proclaims he always wins: |
| 650 | --> "Yeah, because you stack the deck. And brag about beating up a girl who has already fought hard while you sit on the sidelines. I know real badasses, and you don't even come close to the list," Zhu Chan taunted. |
| 651 | --> "Enough of your impudence!" he commanded, firing a starbolt at her. She burst it with an optic blast. |
| 652 | --> "Sloppy. You may have a lot of power, but you didn't earn it. They may not have been smart, but at least they know their own power, idiot," Jade shook her head. |
| 653 | * ''Fanfic/ShadowsOverMeridian'' (the RecursiveFanfiction of ''Fanfic/{{Kage}}'' above): |
| 654 | ** In Chapter 8, Cornelia has a nightmare in which Kage calls her a spoiled attention seeker who can't stand the idea of Elyon no longer relying on her for support. |
| 655 | ** Arthur and Manny, fishermen from the Swamplands who've been incarcerated in Cavigor along with their Lurden friend Torgo by zealotic rebels, give Vathek and Drake a piece of their mind that the Rebellion as a whole [[FullCircleRevolution is worse than Phobos]] because for all of his faults, Phobos hasn't really tried to excuse his evil deeds with noble intentions or [[EqualOpportunityEvil persecuted anyone because of their species]], while the rebels are clinging to the old traditions and preaching loyalty to the naïve new Queen to cover their own bigotry and desire for revenge. |
| 656 | ** Though Ilitia surrenders to Phobos in Chapter 34, she nonetheless rips into him about [[ThenLetMeBeEvil living up to the preconceptions surrounding him]] by seeking power at his subjects' expense and giving his lackeys free rein to deal with traitors however they pleased. However, she's forced to acknowledge his retort that [[KnightTemplar rebellion members like Kur]] are corrupting everything they stood for. |
| 657 | * [[ComicBook/CaptainAmerica Steve Rogers]] gives a downplayed one to [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Buffy Summers]] in ''[[http://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-30806/Manchester+Silent+Reproach.htm Silent Reproach]]'' over her sob story about being a Slayer. |
| 658 | -->'''Steve''': "Sounds like you were drafted. ... I was one of the volunteers, Miss Summers. But in all my time with the other [=GIs=] in the Army, Navy, and Marines, the only difference between us and the draftees is that it gave them just one more thing to grouse about. Otherwise, we went through the same misery of basic, got sent overseas, did the job we were called on to finish, and mourned those who didn’t come home with us. Thank you for telling me about yourself, ma’am. Good luck to you and the other Slayers." |
| 659 | * In the 21st episode of ''Fanfic/TheSilverscaleArena'', Loona has a flashback to a date she made for her and Vortex after he and Mayberry took a break in their relationship. When Vortex realizes what this date is really about, he uses it to verbally tear apart everything about her character. Said speech takes [[ShoutOut massive inspiration]] [[https://twitter.com/Tau_Enclaves/status/1497350232497135617 from this fanart]], which in turn was inspired by [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Quagmire's]] infamous TheReasonYouSuckSpeech [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy to Brian]]. |
| 660 | -->'''Loona''': "I’ve spent so much time organizing this date! Why are you acting like this? Do...do you not like me? Tell me the truth!"\ |
| 661 | '''Vortex''': "Alright. The truth...the truth is that you're probably one of the worst people I've met thus far. You treat your adoptive dad like total shit, even after [[UngratefulBastard he saved you from living alone and hungry on the street]]. That's how you repay him? By spitting in the face of his kindness just because he's a little crazy? You don't even have to pay rent thanks to him! He practically handed you that secretary job on a silver platter! And to add insult to injury, you're just as bad, if not worse, to your coworkers. That little southern imp that was crying up a storm? You told her to '[[LackOfEmpathy get over it]]'.I had to console her and, you know what? It didn't cause my head to fall off my own shoulders because I understand this little thing called empathy. The fact I have to point out common decency like that is easy to do? I don't have any words. Oh, but I have a few more. And you're SUCH a goddamn SPONGE. You're too much of a lazy phoneaholic bitch to do your job, leaving everyone else to pick up the slack! Yet, you claim you're SO oppressed for doing the bare fucking minimum! But what REALLY gets to me is that you act like you're so much better than everyone else, which apparently gives you the right to talk down to anybody who makes eye contact, when, in reality, you're nothing but a shallow BIMBO wearing goth makeup! Yes, I hang out with superficial sex maniacs, [[AtLeastIAdmitIt but at least they're honest about it]]! Name ONE reason you like me other than my muscles! I dare you! That's literally all you point out about me! Even though I already have a girlfriend! One that you're actively TRYING to make break up with me! We're making progress and then YOU show up! GOD, you're fucking low! Oh, but anytime people try to bring up how AWFUL you are, they cherry-pick all those times you didn't act like a piece of shit, even though I can count all those times on one hand! Maybe there's something I’m missing, but I don't care if you went through whatever tragic backstory [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall some of your simps make up on the fly]]. It doesn't give you the right to be a bitch to those who TRIED to reach out to you! Speaking of simps, yeah. They don't care about you! They're just blinded by your body like you were with me! Me and my pals? We see you for whom you are! A [[SpoiledBrat spoiled BRAT]]!"\ |
| 662 | '''Loona''': "But...but...I'm...I'm not a bimbo..."\ |
| 663 | '''Vortex''': "Yeah. You're probably thinking 'I can’t be a bimbo! I’m so alternative and goth and all that shit!' Well yeah, you are alternative...an alternative to being a decent person! One that I didn't WASTE my time trying to see if there was some good in you! But, you know what? I could forgive it...ALL of it...if...if...nah. Fuck it. I ain't got nothing."\ |
| 664 | '''Loona''': "T-Tex?! Wait! I swear, I- "\ |
| 665 | '''Vortex''': "Nope! [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Fuck this! I'm gonna see if I can salvage what I had with Mayberry]]. For now, take your own advice and sit on a dick. I'm done. I'm just DONE. I really had hope for you. I really did. Shame it amounted to nothing. [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Thanks for the fucking steak]]. |
| 666 | * Manga/{{Naruto}} gives multiple speeches to [[Anime/CodeGeass Suzaku Kururugi]] in ''Fanfic/SixPathsOfRebellion'' about how willfully blind he is to Britannia's atrocities and his insistence that everything the Black Knights do is evil and everything evil is their fault. Naruto goes on to claim that Suzaku's real problem with the Black Knights is that they're succeeding where he's failing. Even ''if'' Suzaku's plan to become the Knight of One succeeded, he'd be dooming the world for the sake of a single country. |
| 667 | * In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10129058/5/The-Snow-Queen-and-the-Ice-Demon The Snow Queen and the Ice Demon]]'', Anna is quite upset to learn no one went after Loki when he fled Asgard for Midgard after he learned he was adopted. |
| 668 | --> '''Anna:''' Who went after him?\ |
| 669 | '''Thor:''' No one, young Anna. He vanished.\ |
| 670 | '''Anna:''' Ah. No wonder he's angry. You didn't try very hard.\ |
| 671 | '''Thor:''' We tried but he hid -\ |
| 672 | '''Anna:''' A century ago, a wizard using ice powers was running around here for more than two years, in the exact same place the Winter War happened centuries before that. And none of you supposed gods ''noticed''? Great Odin Allfather the Wise wasn't ''suspicious''? You didn't try very hard. |
| 673 | * In ''Fanfic/SonicGenerationsFriendshipIsTimeless'', Eggman calls out the rest of the Mane 6 for their refusal to trust Twilight in the past, even managing to [[BreakThemByTalking completely break]] ''Princess Celestia'' by calling her out for treating Twilight as a tool for using the Elements. |
| 674 | -->'''Dr. Eggman''': Stop. Just stop right there, Celestia. You've embarrassed yourself enough. I let you speak because I was willing to give you a chance to prove me wrong about your relationship with Twilight, but you've done nothing but disappoint me! You haven't told me anything I don't already know, and you clearly can't take a bone when it's thrown at you! [...] [W]hy do you hardly ever see her on your own time anymore? Why does your faith in her seem to be off and on? Why can't you just be open with her? Because your image is more important than anything you care about?! If you do care about her, Celestia, you have a funny way of showing it! [...] [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E2TheCrystalEmpirePart2 Did she tell you her worst fear was you turning her away forever?]] I don’t know what you did to her, Celestia, but the fact that that’s her greatest fear means you two don’t have the kind of relationship you think you do! Maybe you should have taken how she feels more into consideration, hmm? [...] You still think that, despite everything, you and Twilight share something special? [[IronicEcho I believe you had some good words of wisdom for this kind of situation]]. How did they go again? Oh yes, I remember; ''[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E25ACanterlotWeddingPart1 You have a lot to think about.]]'' |
| 675 | -->'''Dr. Eggman''': Oh, shut up! Don’t embarrass yourself the way Celestia did! Hang on to whatever dignity you have, you pathetic excuse for an intelligent being! You gave Twilight some minor comfort, yes, but it’s meaningless when you consider that, whenever one of you does something, she’s often there to comfort you and you can’t return the favor! [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E3LessonZero Like the friendship report incident.]] When all was said and done, it was out of sight, out of mind. [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E20ItsAboutTime Just like with the whole time travel loop.]] After all, [[IronicEcho it’s Past Twilight’s problem]], isn’t it, Pinkie Pie? [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E25ACanterlotWeddingPart1 And of course,]] [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E26ACanterlotWeddingPart2 her brother’s wedding.]] You think you can ignore what your decision to not trust Twilight could have led to after it was over and the problem and everything associated with it will go away, just like that? Well, [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure get a load of]] '''[[VideoGame/SonicAdventure this]]''', ponies; ''it doesn’t work that way!'' |
| 676 | ** The kicker? He's not even halfway done with his speech at this point. Eggman then rips into Shining Armor, pointing out that as much as Shining wanted to deny it, [[KickTheDog the terrible things he said to Twilight the night of the rehearsal]] when she (correctly) suspected Cadance was a fake were completely his own doing, with [[NotBrainwashed Chrysalis's brainwashing having no effect there]]. Eggman makes no attempt to hide the absolute disgust he has for Shining trying to make excuses for his actions. |
| 677 | ---> '''Dr. Eggman''': Oh sure, Rarity, stick to that same old attitude of yours! Turn your back when you don’t want to hear something and wait until the last minute to do something about it! It’s the same thing with all of you! Heck, Twilight’s brother did it and everything turned out fine in the end! |
| 678 | ---> '''Shining Armor''': What’s that supposed to mean?! My special talent is defending the weak; that’s what my cutie mark represents! I joined the Royal Guard and became Captain to protect those ponies, and I would never turn my back on them or Twilight! |
| 679 | ---> '''Dr. Eggman''': Oh no? [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E25ACanterlotWeddingPart1 What about the day you were supposed to be married to Cadance]] and [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E26ACanterlotWeddingPart2 ended up at the altar with the Changeling Queen instead?]] Do you remember what happened that day, pretty boy? How you threw away all the trust you had for your sister just to fulfill what ''you'' wanted? |
| 680 | ---> '''Shining Armor''': I was under Chrysalis’ spell! I wasn’t in control of what I was doing! |
| 681 | ---> '''Dr. Eggman''': Indeed you were, but do you know what that spell actually did to you? |
| 682 | ---> '''Shining Armor''': I-It stole my love and brainwashed me to neglect Twilight. |
| 683 | ---> '''Dr. Eggman''': Not quite, Shining Armor. Yes, it stole your love and fed Queen Chrysalis, but the only other thing it did to you was make you believe she was Cadance, no matter what she did. [[EvenEvilHasStandards Everything you said to your sister, you said it of your own free will! Her spell had no influence over you in that regard!]] |
| 684 | ---> '''Shining Armor''': Th-That’s not true! |
| 685 | ---> '''Dr. Eggman''': Say what you want, but you know the truth. I’m not a big fan of magic, or the fact that you ponies have somehow found a way to integrate it into science, and [[WhatTheHellHero even I know what that spell did]]. |
| 686 | ** Finally, he rips into Twilight's friends again, accusing them of constantly ignoring and/or dismissing her feelings and concerns -- [[CassandraTruth even when they turn out completely legitimate]] -- and treating her like a glorified babysitter and means to their own ends, rather than as an equal. |
| 687 | ---> '''Dr. Eggman''': So let’s review the facts, my little ponies. You’ve all known Twilight for quite a while, Spike, Shining Armor, Cadance, and Celestia knowing her even longer and at least one of them being able to recognize when she’s under stress, and unless Twilight is addressing a large group of ponies, you’re all extremely quick to brush off her worries or misgivings as mere annoyances! [...] Correct me if I’m wrong, but [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E2ElementsOfHarmony when Nightmare Moon returned, you five decided to stick with Twilight despite her saying she’d rather go alone]]. You stuck by her and shared the magic of friendship with her. Whatever happened to that attitude? Are you all hypocrites or something? You stood by her when she said it wasn’t necessary, and then when she comes asking for help, you turn your backs on her?! If that’s the case, it’s no wonder you were blind to what you were doing to her! [...] When have any of you ever actually had to beg for forgiveness from each other? [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E19PuttingYourHoofDown The closest any of you got to that was Fluttershy]], and it was after she proved she was giving up her new ways. If Twilight had to beg or ask if you forgave her, that would be petty and selfish, wouldn’t it? She probably thought that would make her look like a foal again and ''not'' a friend! So what exactly could she do that would make her look mature? Not much, other than pushing how she felt into the back of her head and trying to prove herself as a friend! [...] She’s been trying to prove she’s more than what she’s been reduced to. Time and effort wasted on you self-serving idiots. [...] I’ll tell you what I know for sure now [Cadance]: your little Twilight is seen as little more than a babysitter by her ‘friends’, said ‘friends’ don’t notice things that threaten their happiness until it’s right in front of them, and Twilight’s feelings don’t matter to them! |
| 688 | ---> '''Rainbow Dash''': Y-You’re wrong! We do care about how Twilight feels! |
| 689 | ---> '''Dr. Eggman''': [[ArmorPiercingQuestion Have you ever told her that?]] |
| 690 | ---> '''Rarity''': W-Well, Twilight’s a smart girl. She should… |
| 691 | ---> '''Dr. Eggman''': HAVE YOU? |
| 692 | ---> '''Applejack''': …no. |
| 693 | ---> '''Dr. Eggman''': My point exactly. Based on you, the ones she surrounds herself with, it looks like Twilight was only half-right. Friendship IS worth fighting for… but only when it has benefits. |
| 694 | ** Earlier in Chapter 14, Shadow gives a TranquilFury-laced one to Shining Armor after he, in the middle of a heated argument between the two, pushes the black hedgehog's BerserkButton by making an insensitive remark about him apparently not caring that [[PosthumousCharacter Maria]] sacrificed her life for him. After Twilight, Sonic and Tails talk Shadow out of actually attacking him, the black hedgehog calms down and the speech finishes with him giving Shining advice on [[NeverLiveItDown avoiding the mistakes he'd had problems with him for]]. |
| 695 | ---> '''Shadow''': I’ve heard a little about you. I was hoping [[CharacterDevelopment you might have learned something from your experience]], if everything I’d heard was true. [[AesopAmnesia But your display just now tells me you haven’t]]. |
| 696 | ---> '''Shining Armor''': What are you talking about? |
| 697 | ---> '''Shadow''': (''folds his arms'') The way you looked at her, like nothing else was important... [[LoveMakesYouStupid no wonder you were fooled]]. |
| 698 | ---> '''Shining Armor''': (''angrily'') And what do you know about love?! Have you ever felt it before?! (''picks up on Shadow flinching despite his back being turned'') See, you do know what it is! So how can you criticize our love when you know what it’s like to love somepony?! |
| 699 | ---> '''Shadow''': It’s a matter I’ve chosen to move on from. It has nothing to do with this. |
| 700 | ---> '''Shining Armor''': What are you moving on from? Are you saying it was a lie, that something somepony gave you was wasted on you? That you don’t care for them? |
| 701 | ---> '''Shadow''': (''taken aback'') [[BerserkButton ...what did you just say?]] |
| 702 | ---> '''Shining Armor''': You heard what I said! Whoever you’re talking about, [[KickTheDog it sounds like she would’ve been better off not knowing you!]] |
| 703 | ---> '''Shadow''': Oh, really. Is that what you think? |
| 704 | ---> '''Shining Armor''': Maybe it is! She must’ve done a lot for you; did you ever do anything for her? |
| 705 | ---> '''Shadow''': (''growling'') [[RageBreakingPoint Ignorance...]] [...] if there’s one thing I can’t stand, it would be ignorance. (''turns and slowly walks towards Shining'') Ignorance that causes people to simply assume what they know is fact. Ignorance that prevents people from opening their eyes and considering just for a moment that not everything is as simple as it seems. (''[[BurningWithAnger begins glowing red with Chaos Energy]]'') And you '''reek''' of it. |
| 706 | ---> '''Shining Armor''': (''[[OhCrap backs up nervously as Shadow approaches]]'') What are you talking about? |
| 707 | ---> '''Shadow''': You think a lot of things are simple, don’t you? What reason do you have to think otherwise? I’m sure you hold a high position and you have a good relationship with your sister. You both probably had a nice upbringing. [[DarkAndTroubledPast Not all of us are lucky enough to get that, you know]]. [...] I didn’t have ‘parents’, per se. [[ArtificialHuman I had creators]]. One wanted to find a way to save the life of someone precious and for me to be a savior. [[VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog The other wanted me to deliver what he wanted to him and for me to be a destroyer]]. I was introduced to [[DelicateAndSickly the one who the former wanted to save]]; she did more for me than you could imagine, and she didn’t properly know all the things you take for granted. She didn’t know what it was like to have the wind blow past her, to see the blue sky above her... [[MundaneLuxury to just live]]. And she never got a chance to, due to ''their'' ignorance. [[BigBrotherInstinct I tried to save her when they wanted to silence everyone who knew about me. No matter what happened, her safety was more important to me than anything]]. And yet... (''the now-terrified Shining bumps backward into a nearby fountain, before [[NeckLift Shadow furiously seizes him by the neck]] with a DeathGlare'') Do you know what it feels like to be ready to give your life for someone if it means saving them, [[HeroicSacrifice only for them to do it for you?]] (''yanks him closer'') Do you know how it feels to see someone who means more to you than anything lying there in front of you, hurt... '''[[ForcedToWatch AND YOU CAN DO NOTHING BUT WATCH THEM DIE?!]]''' |
| 708 | ---> '''Twilight Sparkle''': (''[[{{beat}} after an incredibly tense pause]]'') ...you’re talking about Maria, aren’t you? |
| 709 | ---> '''Shadow''': How do you know about Maria? |
| 710 | ---> '''Sonic''': I’m sorry, Shadow, but while we were running around earlier, we saw a few things from the past. [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure2 One of them was Eggman’s demonstration of the Eclipse Cannon’s power]]. Spike and the girls weren’t sure what to think, so we told them about you and Gerald. But I only told Twilight, Spike, and Scootaloo. |
| 711 | ---> '''Tails''': And I only told Applejack and Rainbow Dash. We only told them so that, in case we ran into you, they wouldn’t think you were a bad guy. I swear, we didn’t tell anyone else the whole story. |
| 712 | ---> (''after glaring at the three for several more seconds, Shadow turns back to Shining and releases his grip on him, dropping him to the ground as he takes a few steps away. Cadance immediately runs over and picks him up'') |
| 713 | ---> '''Shadow''': (''turns back to Shining'') Let me give you one piece of advice. There’s nothing wrong with loving someone, [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E25ACanterlotWeddingPart1 but it doesn’t give you an excuse to not pay attention to everything else; especially others that are important to you]]. Forgetting what’s really important blinds you and makes you prone to anger. I think you’ll find that the things we say that we end up regretting the most are the things we say in our anger... [[PartingWordsRegret because they’re often the last things we ever say to someone]]. As for you... (''turns to Sonic, Tails, Twilight, and Spike, and his red Chaos Aura fades away as he leaves with Team Dark'') [[PetTheDog I understand what you tried to do]]. And while it’s not necessary, I do appreciate your understanding and concern. |

Louise got mocked by some students and withdrew into herself and cried about how hard her life is instead of seeking to improve herself. Kirche trained and studied endlessly to maintain a scholarship to attend the academy. When Louise proved to be an {{inept mage}}, her parents sent her to the best magical academy on the continent to improve. Kirche's father beat her with a red hot iron for refusing a political marriage to an old man then shoved her face into hot coals to keep her from bleeding onto the carpet. Louise has numerous friends among the commoners, a loving family, and the answer to her prayers fell out of the sky and offered to teach her. Kirche's family will kill her if she ever returns and her sole friend is Tabitha who can't be what Kirche needs for her own reasons but tries her best anyway. |

| 716 | -->'''[[TimePolice Sans]]''': Guess you need to get dunked on, perhaps? |
| 717 | -->(beat) |
| 718 | -->'''Sans''': Inventing the [[WesternAnimation/BeastWars Transwarp Drive]] was the biggest mistake that the Cybertronian race has ever made. You’d think that they knew their own history enough to understand why such power should NEVER even be achieved. And of course what happens? Some upstart calling himself “Megatron” swipes it for himself. Worse yet, he had the Golden Disk: An artifact recording all of Cybertronian History. Using said knowledge, he almost succeeded in rewriting history… TWICE. Then [[VideoGame/DragonBallXenoverse some two-bit witch and her artificial boyfriend]] try to make the good guys lose because they have vague world domination plans, but it turns out they were both oblivious pawns to some other asshole who wants to destroy time just to take over the Supreme Kai of Time’s position of power. And then this old man, so desperate to find some stupid crap called “Franchise/KingdomHearts”, he all but rendered death meaningless using such convoluted bullshit science, even going as far as to create a thirteen-member organization comprised of different versions of himself from different moments of his own past! THIRTEEN OF HIMSELF! I mean if they were from parallel universes it would be fine, BUT FROM HIS OWN PAST?! THAT MORON! And ooooh child, you don’t even wanna know about the entity known as "[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStoneOcean Made In Heaven]]"! Now there was one hell of a mess to clean up! And now even after the [[WesternAnimation/DCUniverseAnimatedOriginalMovies Flashpoint Paradox]], there’s now gonna be ANOTHER REBOOT to this one universe? I lost count how many times they’ve pulled this stunt! SO MANY GODDAMN QUANTUM FUBARS I HAVE DEALT WITH, SO MANY SERIOUS MESSES TO CLEAN UP!! And I loved every minute of it, I had so much fun. For you see, those were the Good Days. The days when the problems actually felt… significant… important… justified… But then, there are the Bad Days. Where I have to fix… stupid shit… Like [[WesternAnimation/CinderellaIIIATwistInTime a fairy godmother’s wand ending up in the hands of an evil stepmother]]… Or [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo a cyborg and changeling wanting to live in a future devoid of RESPONSIBILITIES]]… ''OR SOME UPSTART CULT LEADER HAVING A PETTY VENDETTA AGAINST THE PRINCESS OF FRIENDSHIP.'' |

| 723 | * In ''Fanfic/TheStoryToEndAllStories'', the villain tears into the heroes for being more famous than him. |
| 724 | * In the fanfic ''Fanfic/SuperSentaiVsPowerRangersTheLiveblog'', among the many moments where she would call them out on their actions in [[Fanfic/SuperSentaiVsPowerRangers the fanfic she's covering]], Rika tears a new one to the USSPRA when [[Series/GoGoSentaiBoukenger Natsuki]] and [[Series/TensouSentaiGoseiger Eri]] are dragged into the Detention Center and sent to the rock piles as punishment. |
| 725 | -->'''Rika:''' OUR FUCKING HEROES, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!\ |
| 726 | No. Seriously. I've tolerated the USSPRA's bullshit for so long. ''So long.'' Gushing about Cole? Annoying as hell, but I managed to push through. Lovey-dovey shit? Also annoying, but I try to tune it out unless if it's really something worth mentioning. But this? THIS?!? This is the last straw. This is ''not'' what ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' and ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' even represent here.\ |
| 727 | In fact? I don't really want to consider these guys heroes anymore. No! From now on, from this fucking day forward, they're {{Designated Hero}}es. And all those moments are why. You can't really root for them, especially with shit like this, and trust me on this one, it does get a hell of a lot worse!\ |
| 728 | You know what I do see when I read this? I see a gigantic group of jackasses, with the exception of a rare few, who only care about themselves (or Cole), never any fellow humankind. Who flip out when things don't go their way. Who do shit that goes completely against their canon characterizations! USSPRA...(in a completely inhuman shriek)...''you will never be true Power Rangers or Sentai Warriors!'' |
| 729 | ** Rika gives another speech in the sequel ''Super Sentai vs. Power Rangers II''. This time, it's directed at Sean Akizuki himself after ''Power Rangers Sword Dynasty'' displays an attempt at multicultural unity that falls flat. |
| 730 | --->'''Rika:''' "I mean…I’m not against interracial couplings. Not no way, not no how, [[DontShootTheMessage I certainly won’t shoot the message.]] I’m absolutely livid over Akizuki…using this as his mouthpiece over some crushes that happen to be American. Or any other race. Oh, yes, I damn well ''went there.''\ |
| 731 | "And not only that, but there’s the huge elephant in the room that is the blatant-as-fucking-hell racism. For someone who champions against it–a noble deed, sure–he’s no better. The overuse of “Orientals” for “Asians”, not just in the fic, but his usage all the time. Some characters mentioning their race in a not-so-positive way (Zach saying that he’s dark, and that’s why he’s good at infiltrating, anybody?). And while the “blackie” thing was all Tropers/ChrisX’s writing(...), I don’t doubt that Akizuki probably would do the same thing.\ |
| 732 | "Lastly…Li’s an AuthorAvatar for Akizuki. Only Chinese. Marianne’s fantasy casting is Emma Roberts. There have been countless times where the two aren’t lovey-dovey, and yet, it’s shoved down our throats many a time. And do you know what the most frightening part is? We know that Akizuki can do a lot worse with his crushes. [[spoiler:Like…Kimberly getting raped at the hands of Akizukiguet.]] The treatment of Marianne’s just as bad, because it’s really forcing a woman into a relationship that’s just going to be, in reality, loveless. With a man who wouldn’t really change his ways.\ |
| 733 | "Akizuki…if you’re reading this, you either need to see a shrink or go to a mental hospital. I fucking dare you to respond to all this and face the truth: that you’re a delusional hypocrite, you fail completely at even the basics of storytelling, and you’re a sick fuck for perving over the actresses and having them do bad things without a single apology. Do you hear me? '''''DO YOU HEAR ME, YOU FUCKING FUCK–'''''" |
| 734 | * In the ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretShow'' and ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}'' crossover fanfic ''Fanfic/TellHimAllButTheTruth'', Mildred gives one to Professor Professor and Changed Daily [[spoiler:as they plan to lobotomize Victor to rid him of his powers once and for all]]. |
| 735 | -->'''Mildred:''' Why are you treating him this way? He's done so much for U.Z.Z. and the rest of the world, and you all throw that out the window just because [[spoiler:he's psychic]]?!\ |
| 736 | '''Changed Daily:''' He's dangerous, we can't just let him run around with those powers!\ |
| 737 | '''Mildred:''' You know what? I'm done. One minute, you all can be friendly to a potentially harmful alien race. And the next you plan on [[spoiler:lobotomizing Victor over something he can't help]]. When Lionel came out [[spoiler:about being an alien]], you didn't plan on dissecting him, you accepted him as one of us. And when he returned to Dimension 10, you still treated him like family, how come you can't do the same for Victor? His son! My son! |
| 738 | * In Chapter IV of ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6986597/1/The-Three-Stooges-Meet-Ultraman The Three Stooges Meet Ultraman]]'', when an angry mob attempts to kill Satoro ([[spoiler:after Alien Mephilas publicly exposes and blames him for the alien's desire to take revenge on the Earth]]) they are confronted by Ito, Fuji, and the Stooges who all give them a piece of their mind ([[PieInTheFace and some pies in their faces]].) |
| 739 | -->'''Civilian #1:''' Impudence! You'd ''protect'' that traitor to the human race?\ |
| 740 | '''Larry:''' Impudence? Have you seen yourself in the mirror lately? Satoro's no traitor to ''anyone'', let alone to this planet!\ |
| 741 | '''Curly Joe:''' Yeah! Let me ask you people this: if any of ''you'' were in Satoro's position at the time, would ''you'' have sold the Earth to a skunk like Mephilas, especially since you had no idea ''what'' his true intentions were? He ''is'' an alien, after all!\ |
| 742 | '''Civilian #2:''' From what we hear, so is Ultraman! Who's to say ''he'' won't stab us in the back when we least expect it? And our children ''worship'' him, thinking he's a hero!\ |
| 743 | '''Fuji:''' Because he ''is!'' Yes, like Mephilas, Ultraman is an alien from another far-off world! But ''unlike'' Mephilas, he fought long & hard to both earn & gain the trust of everyone here on Earth! We, the Science Patrol, have battled alongside Ultraman numerous times & have even ''saved'' his life on occasion! All Mephilas did when ''he'' came here was make threats to us & demanded that we turn the planet over to him so that he can raise his people here & either keep us as slaves or wipe us out! I should know this, people: he kept me & two others hostage in his ship while he demonstrated his power to us, & it was ''horrible!'' And yet, you all have the ''nerve'' to place the blame on a child who simply did the right thing? ''Shame'' on you all!\ |
| 744 | '''Ito:''' Especially to ''you two!'' ''(towards two offices who were creamed by Moe and Larry)'' You're supposed to be ''police officers'', sworn to protect & serve the good people of your community, & yet you both come here with the rest of these folks to ''lynch'' that poor kid? You're an absolute ''disgrace'' to the badge, & should be ashamed to even ''wear'' them! |
| 745 | * ''Fanfic/ToKillAThief'' has [[Manga/DeathNote Light]] saying one to [[Manga/PhantomThiefJeanne Miyako]] for her attempts in trying to catch Jeanne without knowing it's Maron. |
| 746 | -->'''Light''': All those people fighting for justice, they lose. You want a world where people like that are made to be fools? Look at yourself, Miyako. You just made yourself a fool. Unlike you, who constantly denied her best friend is a thief because of the similarities, I immediately knew she's the thief we've been hunting down because of the similarities. You are a useless detective, Miyako. Do you hear me? Useless! Useless because you refused to believe your best friend is the thief we've been hunting down. If you want to be useful, kill the others! Shoot them! Shoot Maron and Chiaki! |
| 747 | * In the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic/Franchise/TransformersGeneration1'' crossover ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8095556/8 The Transformers My Little Pony Crossover 2]]'', Discord attempts to harass Galvatron, Cyclonus, and Scourge, boasting about how he is the Spirit of Chaos. Galvatron shows Discord his memories of Unicron (scaring the crap out of him in the process) and proceeds to dismantle him. |
| 748 | -->[A flash of light blinded Discord, and he found himself back in the Canterlot throne room. He was on his knees and hands, hyperventilating, shaking. He looked up. Galvatron, Cyclonus, and Scourge were glaring down at him.]\ |
| 749 | '''Discord''': W- what… was that?\ |
| 750 | '''Galvatron:''' That, was Unicron. He is the true Chaos Bringer. He has devoured countless worlds, killed trillions of lives, and is among the most powerful beings in existence.\ |
| 751 | '''Discord:''' But what about me?! I'm the Spir-\ |
| 752 | '''Galvatron''': You are nothing but a clown!\ |
| 753 | [Discord flinched.]\ |
| 754 | '''Galvatron:''' Do you hear me? You are nothing but a sad, pathetic, clown. A bad joke.\ |
| 755 | '''Discord:''' B- but I-\ |
| 756 | '''Galvatron:''' You know nothing of chaos. And do you know why? Because you are not chaos. You saw my memories. That was true chaos. Your little tricks? Pathetic.\ |
| 757 | [Discord felt something within himself begin to change, as if his whole purpose in life had been suddenly extinguished. He did not realize it, but the color of his body changed from its usual bright pigments- to a dull grey.]\ |
| 758 | '''Galvatron:''' And now, you will die for wasting my time. |

| 760 | ** Marisa gives Reimu a very brutal one in Kingdom Battle due to the latter wanting to kill the Kingdom Hearts-verse characters, even though 1. They're helping and 2. The merger thing wasn't even directly their fault (it was caused by Rabbids arriving in the Kingdom Hearts-verse and one of the Rabbids grabbed Elizabeth's headband that could merge things together). |

But you have allowed this to get into your head and caused you to go off the rails, leaving you to do whatever the hell you want! From what I'm heard from this pink-haired girl-\ |
| 765 | '''Mine:''' I have a name, ya know! (gets ignored)\ |
| 766 | '''Skull:''' You murdered one of her friends who belonged to this Night Raid… and you shot her in the back with that damn gun in your mouth?! That's not justice… THAT'S STRAIGHT-UP COWARDICE! Only the Phantom Thieves of Heart can bring people to justice! We steal people's hearts to turn their life around… but you… there's no saving you. There's no way in HELL that you'll turn your life around even if we steal your heart! Just looking at you… you look like one of those bitches who will shoot at anyone after one of your comrades defeats them in battle… all for what… justice?! Well, guess what, bitch! You want justice? THEN WE'LL FUCKING GIVE IT TO YOU, YOU BITCH!\ |

Even worse, because of Jacob's status as the Alpha, Leah is ''forced'' to feel those things about herself. [[spoiler:Then Jacob [[NiceJobFixingItVillain accidentally releases her from his pack]], and she proceeds to give them as good as she got.]] |
| 775 | ** After that fight, the vampires, Sam, and Dean exchange these with each other, culminating in Bella giving a speech that boils down to "it's not murder when we kill humans to feed, but obviously you're too stupid to realize that because you're stupid, flawed humans". It's cut short when [[ShutUpHannibal Cas uses his powers to send her flying into Edward.]] He also gave a more composed and cutting response before resorting to that, even if it didn't faze her: |
| 776 | --->'''Castiel:''' You are ''not'' above humans, and you are most certainly not above God's will. [[HumansAreSpecial Humans are God's most beloved creations]]--you are nothing but [[YouMonster soulless abominations]] who threw away His most precious gift to you. |
| 777 | * In the ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha''[=/=]''Anime/SailorMoon'' crossover ''Fanfic/WhiteDevilOfTheMoon'', Nanoha tears Queen Serenity a new one when her memories of her past as Princess Serenity come flooding back and she realizes how immature she was, putting the blame on the Queen for this attitude and the fact that it helped doom the Silver Millennium in the process. |
| 778 | * ''Fanfic/WithPearlAndRubyGlowing'' has a couple. |
| 779 | ** [[Franchise/SamAndMax Max's]] chapter is him ranting to Lorne about how Lorne's murder of [[WesternAnimation/MaxAndRuby Max's big sister]] ruined Max's life. |
| 780 | --->“You killed us both then and there, you know? You took my whole family away from me! [...] Single. Digits. Age. Seven and four. Not even old enough to know the stuff in your bathing suit area is ever gonna do more than piss and make a mess. Not even old enough to know why boys and girls look different. Not old enough to get that death is forever. They call that innocence. And you ripped it apart in the worst possible way. [...] Oh, you’re sorry, are you? I’ll bet you’re really sorry right now. I’m sorry for us! You got a long time with someone who loved you enough to look after you, I bet. We got four years together. That was it.” |
| 781 | ** Mirabel's section is her calling out her family for treating her like a ticking time bomb after her [[UsefulNotes/PersonalityDisorders NPD diagnosis]] which means she has a LackOfEmpathy but doesn't mean she ''wants'' to hurt people. |
| 782 | --->"I get it. I must be sooooo terrible. Just because I'm not like the rest of them! Just because they have something I don't. Fine, I'll admit it! I'm sorry that I'm the way I am, if you want to hear it. I'm sorry I can’t feel bad about things like you can! The way you can, anyway, because feeling bad in general is not enough! But for all your talk of empathy, of understanding, of knowing when people are in pain, did any of you realize that there was something wrong with me?! That I was suffering?! That I was in pain?! [...] Do you know how many threads there are on the internet about raping sociopaths? Do you know how hard it is to find anything on NPD that isn’t about 'catching us in the act'?

| 784 | --->Vinnie isn’t back yet. He was already close to failing, this might just push him over the edge. Summer school’s probably the best scenario, repeating the ninth is more realistic. I don’t know what I'll do if he decides to drop out. Even that's preferable to getting the police involved.\ |
| 785 | Do you get it yet? Do you see what you’ve done to us? To all my kids? |

| 787 | -->'''Valmont''': I can give out some examples of you being arrogant as Shendu, but they are too much so I'll give out an example what makes you deceitful as Shendu. You said you cared for Renamon, but what about the part where you said you don't need her? If you don't call that deceitful, I don't know what is. Oh, and you're traitorous as him. You betrayed the trust of your own mother and grandmother by not telling them about your Digimon adventures just like how Shendu has betrayed his demonic brothers and sisters by ignoring their release when he's first released from his stone imprisonment. Before you know it, you betrayed Renamon by saying you didn't need her. Well, that's just kind of like how he did betrayed me when I blindly trusted him too much of giving me the treasure of Qin Shi Huang in exchange for all 12 talismans to restore him to his true form. What else is that you have betrayed Takato and Henry by saying you hate Digimon. Shendu once again betrayed his brothers and sisters by lying to them that he can get them all out of his portal when only one being can enter it to the real world. So, tell me, Rika, does that make you arrogant and deceitful as Shendu? |
| 788 | * In ''Fanfic/YuGiOhTheThousandYearDoor'', it gradually becomes clear that the [[BigBad Shadow Queen's]] six children aren't working for her out of any sense of love or loyalty, but mostly out of fear, and that she abuses them horribly. They even try to turn against her in one scene. In the FinalBattle, when Stan finds out that her now-deceased ''first'' six offspring hated her enough to try to ''kill'' her, he ''really'' lets her have it, with the help of the supporting cast, [[spoiler:and it is the biggest factor in her true self FightingFromTheInside afterwards]]: |
| 789 | -->'''Stan:''' What? They… ''Kill you?'' They…\ |
| 790 | '''Shadow Queen:''' I could never prove it… but I faced numerous attempts on my life after I made them governors of the towns of Arcadia, and more than likely, most of them came via their order. Possibly a few of them collaborated on a couple. But I…\ |
| 791 | '''Stan:''' ''That's not the point!'' ''({{Beat}})'' Are you a fan of Myth/GreekMythology, Iris? You may remember how in the creation myth, Cronos overthrew his cruel father, Uranus. But he proved a crueler tyrant, and his own son, Zeus, returned the favor and overthrew him. I used to read Arthurian legends a lot too. Some versions say that Sir Mordred – you know, the traitor – was actually King Arthur’s son, sired on his half-sister Morgan Le Fey, who seduced him in disguise. And those are just the old stories. Browse a bookshelf or DVD section ''anywhere'', and it won’t take you long to find a story where a father and one of his offspring are enemies… [[Franchise/StarWars Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader]], the Wizard and Elphaba in ''Theatre/{{Wicked}}''...\ |
| 792 | '''Aesop:''' Speaking of Darth Vader and the Dark Side, Franchise/{{Superman}} had an enemy named ComicBook/{{Darkseid}}, and his son hated his guts too.\ |
| 793 | '''Raven:''' Anyone here ever see a movie called ''Film/{{Gladiator}}''? Commodus killed his father in that movie to become emperor.\ |
| 794 | '''Kyle:''' [[OverlyLongGag Let’s not even get into]] how often that sort of thing happens in soap operas. I once read that was the case on ''Series/AllMyChildren'' a lot with Dr. Madden.\ |
| 795 | '''Shadow Queen:''' [[ShutUpKirk All right, enough with the fan club!]] Is there a point to this pop culture lesson?\ |
| 796 | '''Stan:''' They only strengthened the point I was eventually going to make, really. Notice what gender the parent was in all of those cases?\ |
| 797 | ''(Dead Silence)''\ |
| 798 | '''Stan:''' It’s almost always a case of the son or daughter turning against the father. Turning against your dad seems common, almost a cliche;. Your mother? Almost unheard of. The first case I mentioned, the one with Zeus… Rhea was one of the few Titans who was spared, because she helped her son. Zeus and the other Olympians owed her their lives. Think about it, Iris! Why are stories about dark, sadistic villains who turn against their mothers so rare and stories about ones who threaten a ''crueler'' fate against people who insult their mothers so common? The rare times you come across someone who does commit matricide, he’s thought of as the lowest of low, despised and reviled, even among other evils of the world. Why is this? I’ll tell you why. Human nature. People can’t help but be close to their mothers, you know. It’s easy to see why… It’s hard to make yourself hate the woman who carried you for nine months, fed you when you were a small child, held you close when you woke up from nightmares, and took care of you when you were sick with a cold. Freud said a lot of bizarre things, but he had the right idea when he said that a child is drawn to his mother in a bond that can’t be severed…. But you… To think that ''you're'' so rotten that you severed the bond completely with ''all six'' of them, so much that they conspired to ''kill'' you? Not a single one of them was loyal? ''([[ActuallyPrettyFunny Chuckles a little.)]]'' You know, I once read somewhere that even Genghis Khan was pretty close to his mom… She was his advisor occasionally, and she raised children who were orphaned by his raids. ''{{Beat}}'' Oh, did I hit a nerve? [[note]]This is not the second time the Queen has been compared to UsefulNotes/GenghisKhan, where Khan was better; a previous chapter stated that he was always the world's best conqueror, she being second.[[/note]] |
| 799 | * In ''[[Fanfic/TheZeroContextSeries Zero Context: Woolgathering]]'', while detailing the differences between the two of them, the former superhero and ex-villainous understudy Zapana delivers one of these to a lustful sheep-girl who never paid the piper for her actions throughout her life. It doesn't take. |
| 800 | -->'''Zapana:''' "You, on the other hand, are as follows: #1, an unrepentant mass murderer and galactic conqueror who's never shown the slightest remorse for the skulls you've crushed beneath your feet; #2, guilty of almost every crime in existence, and proud of it; #3, you're so much of a nymphomaniac that you'd gladly violate any parole just to fulfill your worst desires one more time; and #4, you willingly joined a group that are antagonists for antagonism's sake just because you thought it would give you a shot at getting on Callista's good side. You're trying to put [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Ali Al-Saachez]] on the same level as [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Heero Yuy,]] for the lack of a better comparison. (eyes darken in a DeathGlare) Simply put: if you were an actual sheep right now and not a humanoid with assorted sheep characteristics, I'd reduce you to a 'Futurama' head-in-a-jar, turn the rest of you into a roasted double-decker mutton sandwich [[HoldTheUnsolicitedIngredient (hold the relish),]] flavor it with the hottest sauces I can find, and eat it slowly over the course of thirty-five minutes [[AndShowItToYou while sitting in front of you.]] Then I'd re-humanize your head and stick your jar in some morally deficient medic's refrigerator just for the inevitable 'Team Fortress 2' reference. And you know what the best part is? '''''No one in the multiverse would care."'''''\ |
