Big Mama's Dialogue
I've heard a few people lament on how Big Mama is difficult to write because of how she speaks, so I thought I'd share my tips and tricks.
Tumblr media
I start out by writing what I intend for her to say without the flowery language added on. For example:
"I look nice in the new jacket I bought."
Doesn't sound like Big Mama at all, but it'll help you have a place to start so you don't have to be intimidated by scrolling through thesaurus.
Now, Big M has a tendency to do the following:
Use outdated American slang (anywhere from the 1920's to the 60's)
Apply alliterations (using the same letter at the beginning of a word to the adjacent/close word)
Use adverbs, so describing words with the end suffix -ly (i.e. softly, mysteriously, quickly)
Sprinkle in a few made-up words
So let's take the base sentence I provided an shape it to Big M's standards.
Tumblr media
Resources for American slang:
Instead of word vomiting out all the outdated American slang I know, I'm going to link some resources/websites you all can look at and come back to. She mostly uses 20's slang, so the links are centered around that.
1920's slang PDF, alphabetically organized!!!
List of slang phrases originating from the 1920's to the 2010's
Short list of slang flapper's from the 1920's used
So let's edit our base sentence a little, now it's:
"This new jacket I bought is the cat's meow."
Tumblr media
Adding the next layer:
I did mention that Big Mama tended to use both alliterations and adverbs in copious amounts, but don't feel pressured to use both at once in a sentence. If it fits, it fits. If it doesn't, some trimming might be useful. This is why having a base sentence is important, so the intention behind the dialogue isn't lost under all the additions you're adding. So with that in mind, I'm going to alter our example:
"This new jazzy jacket I just bought is the cat's meow."
Tumblr media
The last part:
I save the "fake words" part for last, because beginning with them can make your sentences clunky or not make sense. This part really relies on your personal touch or the context and tone of the situation at hand. The example I gave make Big Mama sound like she's preening about her looks, so I'm going to lean into that.
"This newsie-woozie jazzy jackety I just bought is the cat's meow! Grr!"
And for comparison, here's where we started.
"I look nice in the new jacket I bought."
And well, that's it!!! Hope it was helpful to those that needed it!!!

For those of you wondering why Sonic Frontiers: The Final Chapter is so hard it is quite literally because so many people complained about the original game being "too easy." Then, the Sonic team apparently took that personally and decided to make it the hardest thing ever.

RISE TWITTER QNA! no major news or announcements, but here's a list of new information and confirmations:
S3 could be brought back as a retro show in the future, but it probably wouldn't happen anytime soon (focus is on mutant mayhem at the moment)
it was never decided whether capril would be friends or girlfriends (due to rise's focus on platonic relationships)
council of heads! they're in power, but a lot of influential yokai (like big mama) aren't easily controlled, and "game the system"
despite not having his dual katana, supposedly f!leo DOES still have mystic powers
ron corcillo would love to see a spin-off focused on the caseys (if rise were ever continued), and likes the potential of a raph + casey vigilante duo
the turtles got their names after splinter's love for renaissance art
big mama's henchman WAS planned to be the missing sister, and rather than venus de milo, she would've been named after a female artist (possibly frida kahlo)
for halloween: raph dressed up as a kitten, mikey as a lion, leo as a rockstar, and donnie as j. robert oppenheimer
the mystic weapons stolen from draxum acted as a conduit to help the boys unlock their innate mystic powers with a "little boost"
they didn't realise mayhem's potential as a character/force until too late, but it could've been fun to do some stories of him being an operative (a la perry the platypus)
there weren't any planned stories for side villains (aside from the foot's cupcake shop), most focus was on the turtles
not much on casey jr's backstory, just that cass and the turtles were fighting the krang and leo raised him as a warrior. casey jr only has brief memories of cass from when he was very young, and was mostly raised by leo
there were definitely six baby turtles (two sisters)! and the turtles were gonna split up to rescue the one with big mama and the one in "the dimension", but they never planned much of it out
there's most likely a time gap between the rescuing leo and the ending scene of the movie, as "after a fight like that, [everyone] would definitely crash and need some recovery time"
there would've been more big mama in future episodes, and stinkbomb was planned to return
since the turtles became known to the public at the end of the movie, they'd have to fight to retain their reputation. this and their reception to criticism/backlash would've become a major arc.
on brother rankings: mikey is definitely raph's favourite, and they all look up to raph
the stronger someone's ninpo is, the greater the drain on their energy is (as seen with f!mikey and karai)
there wouldn't be much threat on villains going after casey jr's future intel, because most of it would've been rendered obsolete
nickelodeon would never give up the rights to rise, but they could license it to a partner company (such as IDW for a comic!)
as previously mentioned, the 2nd sister would've been trapped in "another dimension" and venus/frida would have to be won over by "helping her see that she had been brainwashed [by big mama] as a child" (and redeemed)
given more time, the show would've fleshed out: the hamato story, the hidden city's origins (krang spaceship that crashed into the crying titan being the source of the ooze, its fuel being what gave the yokai mystic powers), and would've used the rat king (who ron corcillo would've liked to be a powerful yokai with rat-like abilities and some form of mind control, who could've threatened the council of heads for power in the hidden city)
as far as we know, the turtles (aside from leo's spanish) only speak english (and even their english is sometimes a bit off)
rise probably wouldn't have ever "gone dark", but after the turtles were publicly known and full-time heroes, it might've had more of an extended plotline
the turtle's casual clothes somewhat reflect their music tastes (r&b for raph, glam rock for leo, techno (and 80s) for donnie and boy band for mikey)
future heights: mikey grew a bit and then shrunk under mystic strain, leo was at least 6ft, donnie a little taller than leo, and raph at least 6'6
mikey's powers could get pretty intense, which could've resulted in some multiverse episodes (ron corcillo would be most inclined to do a 12 crossover, but any could work). while leo portals short distances, mikey's cross space and time (with great effort)
given more time, how the turtles met april would've been fleshed out
in terms of how they take after splinter: donnie and leo have a lot of his cockiness, raph his courage and sense of duty, and mikey senses him missing his family (which is part of the reason of why he tries to hold everyone together)
given more time they would've done more with the transfer of leadership from raph to leo (and originally the plan was to draw that out over S3, rather than the abrupt S2 ending). they would've been co-leaders for a while, and at times mikey or donnie would lead (they aren't really a group with just one leader archetype)
there were plans for april to have more time with the specific turtles other than donnie (like how the gumbus was focused on her mikey and leo)
the cast's mystic abilities would've increased over time, and splinter has a lot of power that hasn't been revealed (as he spent a lot of time in the hidden city in his past)
venus/frida would've been very disciplined and so serious that's she's funny, and the dimension sister would've been "a little kooky"
there weren't really any plans on how the turtles would look in cloaked human forms, just that they'd resemble lou jitsu and may be inspired by their VAs
mikey is the only brother who can fully pull all his limbs and head into his shell (being a box turtle)
any usagi appearances would be a rights matter, and depend on collaboration
on timelines: april is 16 at the start of the series and 18 in the movie, but exactly how much time passes isn't confirmed
ron corcillo would've liked to do more donnie + raph episodes, like one where despite how donnie considers himself smarter, raph ends up beating him in common sense and emotional intelligence
f!leo didn't go with casey jr to the past due to being mortally wounded in his bleeding side
given more time there would've been more flashback episodes with the turtles at various ages
though he'd never admit it, hueso has a close relationship with leo
in early S3 there would've been an episode of setting up the new lair
mystic warrior f!mikey is pretty old (maybe in his 70s), and is strong enough to use basically any mystic power, but at great cost to him physically
no major plans with bishop, but once the turtles became more well-known he could be a bit of a thorn in their sides (like j. jonah jameson to spiderman)
there might've been some redemption from big mama, but also some relapses into her "villainous ways"
given a full season, karai would've been alive for longer, and would've trained the boys for a number of episodes
confirmation that some of early s1 aired in the wrong order (which the writers weren't happy about)
in rise, there's always an unpredictability as to how sentient a mutant will turn out to be
raph probably wouldn't be super uptight about swearing, provided the boys weren't offending anyone
there weren't any plans for romantic relationships (and DEFINITELY never an april-turtles love interest), but if they had ever tried something eventually it would've been with the same species
there were no specific plans for alopex, rita, or rennet, but anything's a possibility
in terms of the 1000 years ago krang/mystic timeline, the spaceship crashed first (possibly spawning the yokai), and other krang followed it, drawing in the invasion
that seems to be about it but if there's any more i'll do a reblog with additions

Anyone else thinking how cute chaos Sonic was? Like, I've never encountered a version of Metal that spoke (not counting Sonic Heroes) and acted so goofy.
Also, I liked how Sonic was quiet when he went into his Shard Mode? Like, he did not say a single word? It was the longest time he was quiet.

How long do you think Shadow's waiting to tell Sonic that he lost the Chaos Emerald in the decaying area of the Shatterverse? You know, the one area of the Shatterverse where you could instantly die?

I will say Sonic Prime has the best characterization of Shadow that I've seen so far.
He's somewhat willing to work with and fight alongside Sonic.
He surpisingly hasn't mentioned Maria, but that might be due to the fact that she may or may not exist in this reality.
He's rightfully angry about Sonic messing up their reality.
And, he even saved Sonic.
I really like this Shadow.
Also, Shadow's design is beautiful.

Sonic Prime Theories
So, I have several theories for what's going to happen in season 3.
Shadow's going beat up Sonic for trusting Nines.
Sonic's going to have another moment where he fully comes to understand that Nines is not Tails. Nines is his own person.
Sonic's going to enter the Grimm, and he's going to find that Nines has indeed recreated the world that he wanted. Nine has gone almost mad with using the power of the shards.
There's going to be wrong versions of Sonic all around because Nines has been failing at recreating his own Sonic.
Nines will try and trap Sonic in the Grim with, and he will try and get Sonic to accept Green Hills is gone forever.
Nines finally breaks down, and he tells Sonic that the blueprint world that Sonic's trying to fix is the world that the other realities were created from. That's why the show is called Sonic Prime; Sonic's reality was the original reality. Sonic's friends were caught in the blast from the shards, and pieces of themselves were used to create Sonic's new friends.
"You don't get it, Sonic. If I fix the shards, then you'll get your little buddy back," Nines explains, bitterly. "But all the friends you made, including me, will cease to exist."
in other words, Sonic will have to destroy the other realities in order to recreate his own.

Rottmnt Snippets #30
Mikey's body shudders against his will, and his trembling fingers start to fall away from the bleeding mess at his side. Hands that aren't his suddenly appear, and they touch his face and press something into his side. Mikey wants to scream at the pain that eats at him, but he only manages to groan.
"Sorry," a voice says, lowly, and Mikey forces his eyes open enough to look for the owner. Color dances before his eyes, and he thinks that he sees blue for a second. "I've got to stop the bleeding until the others get here. The good news is that you're still awake." 
"'eo?" Mikey finally manages to move his mouth.
"Awake, but not coherent," the voice says again. The hands slacken at his side for a moment, and then Mikey feels the pressure increase. Another hand appears before Mikey's eyes, and he feels two quick, awkward pats on his head which very much scream not Leo. "I-I'm going to let that slide seeing as you're obviously not in your right mind. You better not let that dumb dumb you hear say that, though. He already thinks we're twins."
His brother's voice rambles on for a bit, but Mikey stops listening. He focuses on the monotone voice - though, it trembles with each word like his brother is trying to calm himself down. 
"'onnie?" Mikey tries again after, well, he's not really sure.
"Affirmative," his brother - Donnie - confirms. He pats Mikey's head again like Mikey did something good.
"'m scared," Mikey continues, thinking about how numb he feels.  
Donnie's grip tightens, and Mikey feels himself being pulled into the Donnie equivalent of a hug. "I know," his brother states, his voice cracking. "Just hold on a little longer, okay?"

They walk for several minutes, passing buildings that seemingly stretched into the very sky.
“Rouge,” Shadow says, “how long have you known about this?”
Rouge pauses. “I’m not completely sure. A couple of days? A week?”
“And this has been going on for…?”
“Even longer.” Shadow eyes Rouge’s hand as it tightens around the strap of her purse. “Too long.”
“Why involve me now, then?”
Rouge fully stops this time, and Shadow stops with her. “Shadow, hon,” she looks Shadow square in the eyes. “If it was up to me – and the situation wasn’t as bad as it could be – I wouldn’t have gotten you involved. I know how important it was for you to go on your little trip. But, of course, someone always needs saving.”
She smiles, then, but it’s tight and bittersweet.
Shadow’s not sure what to make of that, or the slight pulse of warmth that blooms across his chest from the honesty in her words. Instead, he just says, “thanks.”
Or -
Rouge takes Shadow to meet up with the gang, and to investigate something related to NIDS. Rouge and Shadow talk, and Shadow remembers some stuff he kind of wishes he didn't.
