Reasons why I love Static

A good hero works well with others

Look at how the other heroes smile at him, they are genuinely happy to meet him. When Superman saves him, he isn’t upset. He’s happy. He asked to be saved and he was

And it’s not the last time either. You see it here

and here

he works well with the justice league members even though his interactions with them are rare and in between.

He’s literally never afraid to ask them for help

I mean, look at that. He made the bat signal, he was outright asking for help as publicly as he ever could.

and in “Fallen hero” when he thought Green Lantern really had become evil…

Just look at his face. He is shocked. He can’t believe one of his heroes would do this, he tried to figure out why, tried to come up with a reason to explain it, so it would make sense.

And the moment Sinestro, disguised as Green Lantern, hurt Gear. He knew it was true, and he’s horrified that the person he looked up to did this and he’s angry, angry that he didn’t see this.

Static knows when to fight

but he also knows when someone just needs a helping hand

and sure, he jokes around

but he also knows how important the work he does is

and he also knows what happens if he messes up

His family knows what it is he does and they all support him in whatever way they can.

and that’s why I love Static shock. Yes, they touched upon some serious issues

they didn’t dumb it down for the audience, or treat the issues with kiddie gloves, they addressed the issues and those were also the same episodes that they broke the fourth wall. Dyslexia, gun control, gang violence, racism. They didn’t pull their punches on this show.

They showed us a still very much grieving teenager who almost joins a gang in the first episode, who gets powers that he uses to protect other people without a moment of hesitation, not even thinking of getting revenge on his bullies. Even as a superhero, he still volunteers at the community center his dad runs.

Yes, Virgil makes mistakes, he’s still a kid after all, but he’s so genuinely kind and sincere that we can’t help but love him.

I don’t know if it actually is Static shock appreciation week officially, but it is for me

and, because I can’t help myself

The Druid Way

Same group as Barbarian’s Labyrinth further in the same dungeon. The team has just survived the last of the wizard’s tricks and is now walking down the final hallway. At the end of the hallway they see two statues with two doors on either side of them.

Druid: Oh this is gonna be one of those one head tells the truth the other lies right?

Statue 1: Yes

Statue 2 : No

Druid: Right then-

Druid OOC: I cast move earth to sink both statues into the ground.

Everyone else: WHAT

Druid OOC: Then I summon two pixies and command each to open a door.

DM: You son of a…The pixies each open a door. The door on the left leads to an open room, and the door on the right is a complete black abyss. Suddenly a tongue lashes out of the abyss, wraps around the pixie, and pulls it in never to be seen again. I hate you guys so much.

Everyone: WOOHOO!
