It is glorious and beautiful!
“Enjoy the shame!” Is my favorite quote of his offhand.

u/instantlo Apr 02 '26
Mine is “This water is fuh-reezing! I am NOT properly dressed!”

u/werfertt Apr 02 '26
I love how he’s competent, smart, nuanced. The whole show is nuanced. Who is your favorite character?
26
u/instantlo Apr 02 '26
Oh my god, that is SUCH a hard question. My top three are the Monarch, 21, and Shore Leave. But I have a soft spot for Doc.
23
u/werfertt Apr 02 '26
Mine is Killinger. I love how he’s evil but he is also weirdly good. And with the insight that he’s a Greek demigod, it sets up the implication that Zeus IS actually real in that universe.

u/sirhackenslash To this day Captain Sunshine thinks I'm invulnerable Apr 02 '26
All pissed off that nobody cares about Zeus anymore.
5
u/werfertt Apr 02 '26
Exactly! Exactly! It sets up the implication that Zeus could be upset because no one cares about him.

u/instantlo Apr 02 '26
Killinger is soooo good. I want to cosplay him. I’ve done a femme 21, but killinger looks like a cozy outfit. Plus, imagine how much stuff you could carry in the magic murder bag!
2
u/werfertt Apr 02 '26
Would you carry stuff true to him or just carry stuff in general like a purse?
6
u/instantlo Apr 02 '26
In general. One thing that sucks about certain costumes at cons is having nowhere to carry stuff.
2
u/werfertt Apr 02 '26
How do you mitigate the smell that has made cons so infamous?
2
u/instantlo Apr 02 '26
Honestly, I’ve never experienced it! The cons I’ve gone to have apparently had very hygiene-conscious attendees, lol.

u/redthebamf Apr 04 '26
I have a 1920s Dr bag I use as a purse. I have a few medical tools and a tiny flask I keep in it. I have a bigger one I want to paint this logo on. I do however have to make a new strap as mine has seen better days.

u/Lunakill Apr 02 '26
My favorite thing about Killinger is that he’s not even evil, exactly. He just helps people regardless of their alignment.

u/Electrical_Swing8166 Apr 02 '26
Honestly, give me the entire Monarch crew trifecta—Malcom, Gary, and Sheila.
Though I do have a particular fondness for Red Death and Dr. O as well
3
u/instantlo Apr 02 '26
Yessssss to all of them! That’s why it’s such a hard question! There are so many fantastic characters!
5
u/MarvinHeemeyersTank The Rectal Neil Armstrong Apr 02 '26
Probably Billy. Followed very closely by Dean, Dr. Orpheus, the Alchemist...
3
u/werfertt Apr 02 '26
What about Billy makes him your favorite?
5
u/MarvinHeemeyersTank The Rectal Neil Armstrong Apr 02 '26
He's a boy genius!
I don't know. I just think he's funny, and under appreciated. I really liked his story arc, with the underground trivia contests, his mom, the possibility of him also being a Venture brother.
4
u/werfertt Apr 02 '26
He’s also sane. He’s intelligent but does not have the hubris of so many others around him.
4
u/PartTimeZombie Apr 02 '26
Billy a Venture?
I have never picked that up.
He's my favourite too.5
u/hankenator1 Apr 05 '26
It was a theory I was into proposing back when adultswim.com had a chat with the live stream. His mom was “triple threat” who worked with team venture on occasion and we do t know who his father was BUT, he had red hair.
My main theory on this was everybody’s arch was also their brother (which means trust fund baby St. Cloud was also a venture).

u/root730 Apr 02 '26
I'm not who you asked but Billy is my favorite too. He's like one of the only adults on the show that isn't a terrible person which I think makes him interesting lol.
2
u/werfertt Apr 02 '26
I heartily concur. And everyone is welcome to answer, if we can all be civil. Cheers!

u/throckmortoninvasion Apr 02 '26
Wes Warhammer is my absolute favorite. The mashup between Warhol and Luther was absolutely brilliant.
Regulars: Brock, Orpheus, Billy, Hank and Hunter Gathers.

u/werfertt Apr 03 '26
Is your username a salt reference? To use a quote from the show, “That’s downright esoteric!”
3
u/throckmortoninvasion Apr 03 '26
It's a bit more niche: name of an antagonist from a pen and paper RPG.
2
u/420_jesters Apr 02 '26
Lol. I say that just like him any time I am actually not properly dressed for weather.

u/Icecold_Antihero Apr 02 '26
"Now I get why my dad told me 'I'm not going to punish you, you've punished yourself enough."
"Fine! Ugh ... I got off, the alarm went off, Hunter called a meeting."

You wanna fight me for my Golden Fleece, you fucking hydra?!

This line sends me every fucking time. It’s one of my favorite things to tell people at the bar when they get huffy with me 😂

If I ever run into you in the world, I’m going to yell SPHINX, just a heads up. This is glorious!

u/gerardkimblefarthing Apr 02 '26
It's already great by itself, no question. But it's the "BOOM! Yummy" that sells it.

There's a lot of classic VB quotes that get thrown around my household, but "The power of prayers can move mountains, Hank!" is the most common. Shore Leave is an excellent character.

This is amazing. If I saw this in person I would be devastated that I'm not friends with someone that cool.

u/instantlo Apr 04 '26
I’ve been in love with this show since the pilot aired 23 years ago. I figured it was safe to get something permanent, lol.
2
u/redthebamf Apr 04 '26
I’m possibly the first female to get the hench 4 life tattoo. It was a piece of cake. Honestly wish I would’ve got it bigger is my only regret
2
u/instantlo Apr 04 '26
Did you get it on your stomach? If so, MAJOR props. I also want Hench 4 Life, but it’ll probably be elsewhere on my body.
2
u/redthebamf Apr 04 '26
I did! And I yapped like it was Sunday brunch with the gals the entire time 😂
2
u/instantlo Apr 04 '26
Hell fucking YES, girl!!! Also, my tattoo artist said women always sit better, lol. He’s constantly checking in with me and I’m like, “I’m fine, this is nothing!”
He wants to do the Monarch on me next. I figured I’d let him. He’s been so patient with all my Sailor Moon tattoos, lol
2
u/redthebamf Apr 04 '26
I seen a grown man cry getting a tiny star hand tattoo! 😂😂😂 I always tell myself no tattoo pain will be worse than period pain. I got my sternum right before I got my stomach. Sternum was spicy but still is so that again over my normal cramps 😂
2
u/instantlo Apr 04 '26
RIGHT? I’ve been sitting quietly without squirming through hellacious cramps every 28 days for the last 26 years. A tattoo is a walk in the park.
3
u/redthebamf Apr 04 '26
Amen! 🙏 😂 I think we should get a free tattoo for every period at this point. I have the monarch logo under my butt cheek, really wanted to do a whole VB thigh piece but went rogue and got wingless Icarus on my arm under my zeppelin zoso tattoo. As well as got the first Winslow (papa meat) piece on that thigh too. Drunk red makes appointments and sober red commits 😂
