#it's partially your fault

[turtleblogatlast]

Something I’ve been thinking about lately is that small moment in “Air Turtle” where immediately after the Daves lose yet another game, Leo says how sorry he is and how he’s doing his best as the mascot. This moment is so short but it’s honestly jam-packed with a whole heap of characterization.

His need to apologize for things clearly not his fault - especially when it feels like he messes up the job he was given despite doing the best he can (the phrase “it’s not about you” takes a new meaning when this is one of the lessons to be learned from that - that he is not always solely responsible for things going wrong), his need to save face and make a connection with an older adult man in his life (something he consistently does throughout the series - he’s got a few daddy issues, always collecting potential father figures, it’s no wonder he jumps at the bit to keep rapport), and the way he sounds and looks and the words he chooses really pushes how he is just a kid (“Mr. the Dunk, I’m so sorry”).

Like I know it’s a one off moment that doesn’t truly mean much, but when put against the rest of the series it works really well with the rest of Leo’s established character and helps in solidifying later concepts as well.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rise leo #rottmnt headcanons #am I looking too much into things? almost assuredly yes #I actually appreciate how tim immediately goes ‘it’s not your fault’ as well? like he could’ve just blamed this 15/16 year old but he didn’t #but yeah this moment got to me a little mainly because it made me realize that Leo…DOES take responsibility for things a lot #he messes up a ton yeah but he says sorry at a pretty consistent rate #and y’know thinking about it #THIS IS TINFOIL HAT TERRITORY BE WARNED #he’s mentioned being betrayed by his brothers before - I wonder if it was something as simple as taking the fall for like #breaking something of Splinters or whatever #point is it wouldn’t be out of the ordinary for him to get the full blame for something only partially his fault #or not his fault at all in some cases #like in bug busters where Raph gets mad at Leo for not getting captured with them #(I understand Raph’s mindset here a ton - Raph’s the leader and he’s likely lashing out so I don’t blame the poor kid) #but this plus the moment at the beginning of the movie #where only Leo is reprimanded despite Mikey and Donnie having full autonomy to join the fun pizza stacking #make no mistake this is not at all a diss on everyone else!!! it’s just something I noticed #I think that “it’s not about you” doesn’t just pertain to being arrogant and wanting the spotlight #I think it’s also about how responsibility is meant to be shared #and like #Leo DOES mess up a lot! so he’s honestly probably used to having the blame because it is often at least somewhat warranted #he’s specifically described as being good at apologizing after all #tldr: Leo messes up a lot of the time so he is very used to blame and attention both good and bad #even when the full blame should not be solely on his shoulders

something something well you keep coming back alive don’t you something something i just want you to be safe something something we tried to kill you it didn’t let us something something you were always its favorite something something i was worried you would do something stupid something something well you have to stay alive to do that so it’s a win for me something something natalie, natalie is in so much pain she tried to kill herself something something you realize there’s no it right it was just us something something is there a difference just translates to lottie wanting to keep nat safe and alive which also translates nat was always lottie’s favorite

#yellowjackets #natalie scatorccio #lottie matthews #the implications behind everything lottie does… most of the time it’s for nat’s benefit #lottie has only ever wanted to protect nat and now look where we are #knowing everything you’ve ever done to protect the woman you care for still only ends in her demise you tried so hard to prevent #witnessing it first hand and knowing it’s partially your fault and if you’re lucky she’s just another ghost to haunt you #lottie meta

ok i’m calm now :)

#talking doll.vid #spartacus #agron #he’s SO CUTE AND EMOTIONALLY STUNTED AND REPRESSED #he can only allow himself to feel anger and rage and bloodlust #bc it’s easier than admitting he misses his brother !!! #it’s easier than admitting his entire family is Gone and it’s partially his Own Fault #it’s easier than admitting he wishes he was dead. #so he carves out his own river of blood in atonement #but no amount of roman death will wash away the sins of failure. of letting your brother down. #and — #donar #my beloved #the way he tries to Snap agron back. but agron is a dead man whose soul refuses to leave his body. #death isn’t good enough. bc it’s nothing compared to what agron goes through. day in. and day out. #donar was his best friend even if agron couldn’t say that. #i’m gonna vomit and puke and throw up good BYE

Joel did not put his whole pussy into being an insane housewife and compete to be the #1 Ethogirl and wear Ethos face on his shirt all season for you guys to say his relationship/allyship with Etho was forced just because it was a soulbond

#boat boys #smalletho #I GET trying to make the bad boys extra important to him I GET IT #but this just. is a misreading thats so popular rn its driving me crazy #HE was SO enthusiastic abt allying with Etho even when Etho was jokingly distressed #in general people have a problem with discrediting Joels relationships and Im like. beating all your doors down to tell you Scar and Grian #were important to him in LL. he wasnt alone in LL. #I would say this is partially my fault for people misunderstanding the focus of my alliance metapost #but that has like under 200 notes so its really Not on me tho #prisspeaks #no hate or hard feelings to the people who have been saying this. I Get why you are I really do #its just smth thats been driving me crazy lately. how quickly we forget… #discourse

Henry: "You mentioned that sometimes you can love and love and love someone, and no matter what you do, they don't love you back. Well sometimes, you can love and love and love someone who isn't good to you, and no matter how bad they are, you still love them."

(Episode 13: Terry Jr. and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Dad)

The unintentional foreshadowing of this quote kills me. Was absolutely smacked in the face with dramatic irony when relistening to this episode.

Of course Henry would say this. It's such an excellent thing for him to say, because loving the world and everyone in it is the core of his character. He explicitly tells Lark and Sparrow to love everyone like they love each other, on the precipice of a major battle with someone who defined Henry's misery.

Henry loves so, so much, to the point of tearing himself apart.

Because eventually, what Henry describes to Ron, happens to him. Someone he loves with his whole soul doesn't (CAN'T) love him back anymore. Someone he loves more than anything hurts him, in more ways then one.

But never, ever, will Henry be able to stop loving his son, no matter what.

If Ulysses has a million haters, then I'm one of them. If Ulysses has one hater, then I'm THAT ONE. If Ulysses has no haters, that means I'm dead. If the world is with Ulysses than I’m against the world.

#this is slightly joking but like also not but also like am mixed on Ulysses on many factors #infuriating because i sympathize with his pain but it’s like #he is a well written and fundamentally flawed character whose hypocrisy I found doubly in #black characters I can tell were designed by white people with a semblance of an understanding of activism and bipoc oppression #but not enough for the character to not feel like hand holding for the majority white audience #plus personal grips with the whole twisted hairs thing and reference to slave braiding patterns #Ulysses irks me as a black person on a weird personal level and I can go into debt on why him being black is a big detractor for him to me #like he continues this cycle of distancing himself from his roots before remembering over and over again through his actions #he leave so much in his wake that the courier ends up correcting or helping like in honest hearts and old world blues because he’s self #righteous in a subtle way even to himself that he believes he stand out of his one man rule when he does not play an active hand #saw a post talk about how you choose to continue moving through his story and can leave at any moment and this it is partially your fault #but what of the oath that is set before you and is forced to take that he set up #I do not have to walk it but when I do the steps are not my own but those taken for me #you have to go out of your way to change it which is not something he expects because he’s playing by a story he’s been perpetuating in his #head about you two and the effect one man has when he’s continually been that one man more so than you as many of his actions directly lead #to the one you go through also the irony in the flag he continues to bear being the real reason he has no home #like he reps it when the package is likely enclave and thus use the same symbol #also still can’t get over how anyone could have delivered the package and he tries so hard to act like it was the couriers destiny or fate #when this was the one case of chance and that once man was likely a enclave engineer and how it’s really is never one man #it the process and he’s so annoying about it like he’s a cool character but if you don’t believe in his philosophy or already went through #these ideas cause they are very common talking points in poc especially BIPOC spaces he’s just old hashings and stunted #fallout #fallout new vegas #Ulysses you upset me but I’m like I feel you could be better if you weren’t so incessant #I don’t think I ever want to make a serious post stating this about him just because I’d start yapping and it’d never get finished #ulysses fnv #fnv ulysses #lonesome road

how the fuck did clear sky get into cat heaven. he literally:

-killed multiple cats (or attempted to)

-disrespected starclan (the whole drown the stars in blood thing)

-try to start a whole war

-threw out his crippled brother

-tried to kill bumble (later the god of speech)

-and a dozen more that i can’t think off the top of my head.

it would be cool for an au possibly where one-eye dies but never forms the dark forest (like he doesn’t believe in religion thus never makes cat hell) and instead clear sky is the first one dammed and the first cat to walk the dark forest. this could be a great set up for later arcs where maybe in the distant future we see the dark forest fighting starclan (again) but this time it’s not tigerstar and firestar, it’s clear sky and gray wing

StarClan is flawed from its inception. It's the ancestors of all Clan cats, not just the ones from the Forest Four.

And that included Clear Sky, founder of SkyClan, cat who invented and established borders and war tactics. It's him and his followers who set the battle culture of the Clans that would come after, a snowball that would only grow larger and larger until it reached the state we see in TPB.

StarClan is the way that it is because of him. Him and cats like him are what encouraged StarClan to develop into the reactionary, self-righteous entity that it is, doing what they believe is right to 'protect' the Clans while still thinking their ego is something that must be coddled.

#cripple #cripple slur #c slur #Also the entire battle is full of moments where Clear Sky doubles down on his violence #'I'm not greedy I'm just strong' ass #Also StarClan looking at Tall Shadow 'um this is partially your fault' die. just die again StarClan #Haven't even been around for 2 seconds and already victim blaming #'oo aa how did you know that fircone was going to kill thunder' she made an educated guess. #based on all the murder happening

If I keep my motivation up with the animatic project, I plan to make ganondorf just. soooo uncomfortably correct about things. you know, in that event horizon of being both indefensible enough in his actions that you feel like he's just saying things to make himself look less bad, but also you can't really retort a proper counterargument without revealing huge biases in your own perception of reality

just riding that wind waker swagger to more extreme extremes

#thoughts #ganondorf #animatic project #thralls of power #my goal is to make a ganondorf that will radicalize the audience against their will <3 #even though he keeps on bumping his ample forehead against massive shortcomings he never really manages to address #one of them being uhhh being a little casual about atrocities maybe king??? maybe less war crimes king??? #maybe less assuming that people will follow you down to the very end of your doomed crusade against reality no matter how you act? #maybe less assuming you are the main protagonist of the universe king??? #maybe more addressing the many problems and fear inside of your brain instead of destroying everything you touch about it???? #I have so many scenes in my head about him being very right and others about him being very wrong #if I have the courage there are many internal discussions among gerudos about how various parties feel about what's going on #nabooru is doing anti-dorf propaganda obviously and she's not. wrong. about a lot of things (but she is about others) #my other problem about this project is that it's probably the most tragic thing I have ever conceived #especially for him #I managed to extract the gerudos from his fucking mess (partially and they don't get off the hook unscathed) #but he is just #it's just a very long and very stubborn jump into the void #and knowing where twilight princess ultimately leads it's so #it's just gutting!!! it just is!!!! even when it's partially his own fault!!!! #so yeah I don't know if I'll ever fully commit for this reason alone

On the topic of Izzy’s queerness and headcanons, and since they mentioned the trans Izzy headcanon specifically (I’m not touching any of their points, it just reminded me that not everyone thinks Izzy is trans and it got me thinking about differing opinions on the nature of his. . . trans. . . ness?):

I do love to see some nice top surgery scars in fanart/fic and of course I’m always down for a ‘he did his own top surgery’ joke (or a later ‘Roach does his top surgery’ situation) but I don’t actually see Izzy as someone who has had or planned on top surgery? This is all personal preference of course but I, personally, don’t think he’d think it was worth the risk of all the downtime he’d need to recover?

As buttoned up as his whole outfit is he, could definitely be hiding stays under all those layers (which are generally more comfortable/practical than modern binders if I’m not mistaken). Or he could just be going full tits out (again, under all the layers) since Con’s got such a nice rack barrel chest anyway.

I do go back and forth on how dysphoric it makes him though, and to be honest I think it maybe would actually fluctuate for him? Like sometimes its worse than other times and all?

But he’s definitely on Ye Olde Testosterone, though I do like to think he was just. Super Hairy before he started transitioning, as a treat.

He does fully encourage and support Jim going for their top surgery though, talks to Roach about it, helps out as much as he can during, bitches at them when they try to escape bedrest, helps them with PT after the fact. He and Olu develop a ‘caring too much about the menace that is Jim Jimenez’ bond in the process and become drinking buddies about it.

#the dork is being a dork #izzy hands #trans izzy hands #trans izzy headcanons #jim jimenez #is this preference just me projecting my financial and mental inability to get top surgery onto izzy? #maybe. mind your business #but also i just think he's too practical (to a fault) to bother with it #even if it does make him incredibly dysphoric #he can compartmentalize #and later project onto jim lmao #kidding #sort of #its only partially projection #he does actually care for their sake #tho you'd need to give him at least half a beer for him to admit to that (lightweight izzy my beloved)
