HELLO, TOWER, I BRING MY FIRST MEME

[risingshepard]

Crowning Moment of Awesome Meme


Everyone has done something awesome in their lives, whether it was being a total badass and saving the world or just talking down a schoolyard bully, and apparently, someone recorded that awesome moment (or wrote it down or made a comic about it or what have you). Now that awesome moment has been posted everywhere, and characters get to react.

Rules!

1. Find an instance of your character being awesome in canon.
2. Post links to videos, embed pictures, copy and paste passages, so on and so forth, as many as you like. People can pick and choose what they react to, or react to all of it.
3. Please include trigger warnings if they're needed and don't put more than one large picture (or two small ones) in a single post, and instead link if you want to add more.
4. Tag around and let's get this party started!

There's too many for this woman to even count, but here, the ones that come off the top of my head.

Shepard smashing Gavin's face in.

Shepard taking down a Reaper on foot. The only difference is that mine was a Soldier.

Bullrushing a certain paparazzi off her own show.

Same scene, but for the Paragons out there.

[pitiedthefool]

[...Yeah, he's beginning to see what you meant in the other thread, Shepard. He is just going to smirk in silent approval.

Serves the paparazzi right.]

[fuhgeddaboudit]

P4A spoilers, from 20:32 to 36:11

[pitiedthefool]

[Oh...ow... If there was one time he was both glad and not so glad to be empathic, it's now. Yet at the same time...

He nods faintly. #024 would have been proud, if his guess was right.]

Almost hard to believe there are people like that... I hope you find that girl someday.

[Tower be damned if they can't find a way to reverse whatever happened, if anything did at all.]

[evokingfool]

And thus, Death emerged from within the Fool.

Defeat the Priestess, stop a fucking train. (Priestess Arcana Shadow have suggestive design)

[risingshepard]

[...Sorry, Minato, she has to blink at dat Priestess Arcana. Wat even.]

...And what in the nine hells was that?

[puppy_lancer]

Close enough, right?

[risingshepard]

[...Actually, a certain snark queen isn't sure of what to make of dis shitto. So here, have an unsure look.]

Major Persona 3 spoilers

[determinedhowl]

> Other than defeating a Shadow on his own without the assistance of an Evoker and being the only canine with headbeing on the team...

Bark bark! (Let's give a little context before the animated cutscene of D-D-DENIED)

I DUN' NEED NO CONTEXT BECAUSE THIS SCENE HITS ME SO HARD ;_;

[risingshepard]

[...Wow.]

You're a pretty loyal dog, aren't ya?

[As if it couldn't be understated any more. Don't mind those scratches to the back of your neck, Koro. She's a good person!]

[great_king_of_evil]

How to obtain the Triforce in three steps.

The particularity is that his crowing moment of awesome is immediately followed by the crowning moment of fail.

[tohko_amano]

Santa, Santa, Santa. How could you screw up so easily after that?

[the_white_rider]

Quite obviously YOU SHALL NOT PASS. Amongst others.

[pitiedthefool]

"Per...so...na-!"
Shadow Yosuke, please.
November really sucks.
Spoilers: SO DOES DECEMBER ALSO GUYS PLS CALM THE HELL DOWN...
Note to self: Oooow, that Megidolaon hurts.
"We'll decide our own fate."
Well... can't exactly leave my sister alone again, can I?

I DON'T NEED TO WATCH ANY OF THIS EITHER BECAUSE IT'S SO FRESH IN MY HEAD ;~;

[risingshepard]

[...Shit, this kid's been through more hell than she thought. She can't help the smile on her face at how he got through it all, even so.]

...You know, Yu, you're starting to remind me a little of myself.

Colette learns her most powerful spell by messing up another one

Um...um....die!

Aaaand passages from skits!

Random Skit 1

Zelos: Doesn't it bother you, Colette?

Colette: What?

Zelos: You know...being the Chosen. It's your own life. Don't you wish you
could live it the way you want to?

Colette: I'm living freely. Everyone is searching for a way so I don't have
to sacrifice myself.

Zelos: ...But...what if there isn't any way?

Colette: ...We'll worry about that when the time comes. Even if I lose my
body, my heart will still be free. So I want the world to become a
happy place, just like my heart desires.

Zelos: You're amazing, Colette. I could never be like that.

Colette: ...No. I just talk like that. If it really came down to it, I'm
sure I couldn't do it. Hehehe, I'm a pretty pathetic Chosen.

Zelos: ...No, you really are amazing. Compared to you, I...


Random Skit 2

Colette: Martel was an amazing person...

Raine: Hmm? What are you talking about?

Colette: When her consciousness entered me, I could see into her heart, too.
Hurt and betrayed by so many people, I was filled with sadness.

Raine: ...I see. That's right, Martel was a half-elf, too.

Colette: But despite all that, I could feel how strongly she loved the
world, so much that it hurt. Even though it wouldn't have been
strange if she'd hated the world, just like Mithos...

Raine: I wonder where those feelings come from.

Colette: Yes...I think she would be willing to sacrifice herself to save the
world...

Raine: The ritual of the Chosen...is also a ritual to find a vessel for
Martel. ...It may have been based on the way Martel herself lived.

Random Skit 3


Lloyd: Phew...looks like they've stopped moving.

Colette: Say, Lloyd.

Lloyd: Hmm?

Colette: Could we...try to avoid attacking them? I feel so sorry for
them...

Lloyd: What are you talking about? They're monsters!

Colette: Yes, but, some of them might have been human once. When I think
about that, I...

Lloyd: You've got a kind heart, Colette.

"You said an older brother protects his younger sister, right?
…Yeah. I'm the older sister. So I have to protect my younger brother."


[Massive spoilers since its the end of Heaven's Feel.]

...Welp, I know who else needs a not!aunt.

[risingshepard]

[...Damn. What's with all these kids who've gone through hell and back, and somehow still having the strength to smile at the end of the day?

It's insane, how they manage to stay strong even in times like this.]

...Whoever you saved with your sacrifice...I'm sure they won't forget you anytime soon.

[heavenscorpse]

What V/V is.

[alephbet]

Aleph. Killed. God. Don't mind the Let's Player talking sometimes. Then the ending.

[eighteen_winters]

I'm not a Christian, but isn't killing God typically a bad thing?

[liquidouroboros]

[He stood on the cold metal ground. Stood before a hulking mechanical behemoth, a monster that roared and shook the base with its size and power. A night of agony, of pain and suffering had led to this moment...no, longer than a night. Thirty-three years of being denied, clawing and scraping for all that he earned with his own hands...everything culminated in this night, this very moment. Before him towers the newest Metal Gear, the weapon whose legacy had been etched into the battlefield by the father he despised. Metal Gear TX-55, Metal Gear D, and now REX piloted by the favored enfant terrible.]

[Solid Snake. The man Liquid swore to destroy; his own twin brother who robbed him of the satisfaction of fratricide. He was just barely out of reach now, in the impenetrable cockpit of a machine that could not be defeated. And Liquid stood firm at the base of this fifty-foot leviathan, pure hatred in ice blue eyes. Bruised, bloody, and with nothing but a Stinger missile launcher in his arsenal--it was hopeless. No human could stand against Metal Gear REX alone, not if they wanted to see the next morning.]

['What's wrong, Liquid?' The near-deadpan voice was broadcast from REX as rough-sounding as ever, with the faintest traces of mockery laced through a dismissive tone. 'Just give up like the lesser garbage you are.']

[Give up? Give up?! Liquid Snake, who had lived a life of worthlessness, who had desperately forced his way from nothing to the top of the finest military force in the world when everyone doubted he could do anything? He had no such phrase in his vocabulary, in any of the seven languages he spoke. To 'give up' was to prove their father right. To acknowledge himself created inferior so this Solid Snake could carry the legacy of Big Boss.]

[Proud and hateful Liquid Snake, who burned with all the fury of Hell and refused to die no matter how much others tried to kill him, would sooner bring the world itself to ruin than surrender. The missile launcher was lifted and brought to aim at the monstrosity before him, a vicious snarl present on his face. For once, Liquid said nothing; even for one so fond of grandstanding and pontification, there were times when speaking was less important than simple action.]

[For Meryl, for Otacon, and most importantly for his own vengeance, Liquid Snake stood his ground. If every bone in his body was shattered, he'd pull the trigger with ruined fingers. If he ran out of ammunition, he'd break REX's armor with his own hands. What happened to Liquid didn't matter; he was created a weapon and would gladly die fighting just as a weapon broken in combat.]

[fusedstars]

I take it you lived through that?

[kindofademon]

Convincing Gilles de Rais that God... well... God's something, all right.

[fingerbangingood]

....Pal, I don't give a flying fuck about god or whatever since that conversation kinda fell on deaf ears towards the end, but I wanna make something clear:

Fuck with the kids here, and trust me, I won't kill you. What I would do, death will seem like a friggin blessing! Ya hear me!?

[Lord knows he sacrificed his life, well the real Yusuke did, to make sure a kid lived. He didn't people like this existing.]

[neverbeamemory]

Removing a problem and more revenge. (Though eventually not a winning move)

How to become a God...

So close. (But it wasn't an end...)

Even before-crisis, there was awesome: Come n get some!

And it wouldn't be the same if this wasn't plugged.

[surpassthelimit]

Come back from death with your alien partner to kick a boss' ass.

Adios, Beowulf.

[risingshepard]

[...Well, well. And here she thought machines like that would be too painful to try to make work even with the tech her galaxy had.]

Color me impressed.

[egotrigger]

Probably should note warnings for language, disturbing imagery, and child murder.

Also I apologize for the dub voices. /).(\

Hallelujah taunts and destroys Lt. Ming.

I could link this entire episode but. Allelujah resolving to do the right thing and destroy the Super Soldier Facility, even though it means killing hundreds of kids.

Allelujah and Hallelujah finally work together.

[heavenscorpse]

You fly very well.

[nightmareofdivinity]

Warning for death, etc.

English version. The best version of the Japanese edition of the cut content I can find. Fou-Lu takes back his throne. (You can ignore the English one after about 4:40.)

[sacred_flamer]

At his canon point, doesn't have many crowning moments of awesome...

This might actually be the only one.

Crowning moments of jerkass? He's got those in spades.

[warriorscribe]

So. When I said Enoch picked up riding a motorcycle with nothing but adrenaline, an immediate need to learn how, and a little bit of instruction in frozen time (which is: basic steering, how to pop wheelies (Lucifel, really...), how to skid/drift/spin)...

Well. This is what I meant. Enoch's really good at getting things down in a pinch.

[alephbet]

That is really cool.

[hachitaro]

Warning for blood and language.

I knew I was going to die.

[attheclocktower]

Xion is much more Crowning Moment of Heartbreaking than anything but... she does have... one or two... sort of... only one that I can think of by her canon point... orz

Though to be fair it was pretty badass considering it was the first time she ever picked up a Keyblade

Apologies for the awful Days graphics hopefully this'll be fixed when 1.5 comes out

[justabignobody]

All this time I've tried to push the Darkness away...
I don't need my Heart locked. I'm ready. I'm gonna fight Ansem.
It's the road to dawn.
I don't know who you are supposed to be. But... you can't fight fire with sparks.

[fusedstars]

Hei has many moments of awesome, but perhaps his best ones come from his battle with his season 1 rival: Wei.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OH7VTC_szRw

For the love of god, someone app Wei! XD

[fingerbangingood]

Hard to choose for Yusuke, but how about when Yusuke was controlled and had his full power unleashed?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hPnqhe8MPI

Anyone think they can take him on now?
