    Yeah, Stands are a projection of psychic energy. Alucard is a glorified soul trap and, as I recall, even when disembodied, a Stand user's soul retains the ability to manifest a Stand.

    Reading a pretty ugly manga named Gangsta right now. What's keeping me going is the central characters are interesting, as well as one of them being deaf (not sure if Deaf, haven't reached that part of the story if there is a reason). Sadly, the writer has gone with the whole, extremely tired 'reading lips solves problems', but at least they haven't tried to make him speak perfectly or not use sign language. He uses sign language by choice, hates using his voice, and when he does use his voice it's clear by how it's written that he doesn't pronounce things like a hearing person.

    So some good stuff there.

    Indeed.

    Interestingly, I'm picking up a little - VERY little - JSL from it. Enough to at least say 'thank you', for example. So, useful.

    Better and better - Deaf guy (Nic) fighting against another enhanced person. That person realizes something important and tries to stop the fight by talking to him.

    Then the art just shows the kid talking, his speech bubbles basically empty with solid lines through them.

    [Nic] *thinking* This kid talks a mile a minute. Hard to read his lips. Eh, I'll just kill him.

    Little things like that, I like.

    Okay, after playing and finishing Metroid Dread, I actually want to see Samus in another Death Battle. spoilers:
    The fact that she can drain energy - all energy - on such a massive scale when her Metroid powers mature is ridiculous. Also, the Hyper Beam is my new favorite Arm Cannon.
    end of spoilers

    I've seen some people state DIO would win, but it requires bringing in The World Over Heaven from the game and the ridiculousness of the Jorge Joestar novels.
    Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence.

    Given that it's Death Battle and how they can be quite selective about how applicable certain feats are(regardless of canonicity), it wouldn't surprise me if they tried to reference Eyes of Heaven or Jorge Joestar, though I pray to God that they don't.

    I feel like I want to make some fights

    but I don't have anything I'm currently reading or watching that is both engaging enough to me that I want to make a match about it and well known enough that people will respond to it.

    I think this is the mindset that prompts one to make respect threads. :/

    Pretty much. Is why I have a giant catalogue of Ancestor feats and did that High&Lo thread.

    ...someday, Creatures of Light and Darkness.

    There is that. I did enjoy Logan and Creed steal a baby, that was fun one.

    I think it's Blood Blockade Battlefront that's the one that's motivating me a bit. A fun diverse cast of anime silliness, some really fun and bonkers feats in there.

    But, finding clips in the wild is hard -___-

    It's like a combustion triangle, but it's more 'Motivation' - 'Time' - 'Feat Availability'. Remove any of the three, and it falls apart.
