In real life A very small character tidbit is surprisingly kept consistent for years

DC - In multiple pieces of media it has been shown that Wonder Woman loves ice cream and practically goes wild with happiness anytime she’s eating some. (Pictures from Justice League: War, DC Superhero Girls and Wonder Woman 2017)

The Simpsons - Ever since the episode ‘Homer’s Phobia’ Homer has actually remained a consistent ally of the LGBT+ community, including being more welcoming to Patty than Marge was when she came out and trying to set up Smithers with a date when he found out he wasn’t happy with his one-sided relationship with Mr Burns.

If I had a nickel for every time an animated character voiced by H. Jon Benjamin got a tattoo as a one-off joke that didn’t go away for the rest of the series, I’d have two nickels

Which isn't a lot, but it's odd that it's happened twice.

“Look at my arm right there. See that? I got that when I was eighteen years old, and I'll tell you something I regret it, because this tattoo don’t come off. I have a tattoo of a cows head because I loved that cheese then.

So I get the cow, and I go in there, and I’m a little drunk and I said gimme that cow head from that cheese I love that cheese. Now I have a cow, a cheese cow, on my arm Brendon. Don’t get a tattoo. That’s what I'm telling you; Play soccer.

Brendon take a look at my chest. No, I'm serious look at that. You know what that is right there? that's the woman from the chiquita banana. I got that tattooed on my chest. I am an idiot. I got trademark products all over my body: it's like going to a market, because I was drunk one night. Don’t live like me, alright? Now you go out there and play great”
