#they’re too selfish

[thehmn]

Look! I thought of the worst ship ever! I was incredibly uncomfortable while drawing it but my housemate’s horrified face and loud “No!” every time I showed her my progress made it all worth it and I hope you will experience the same joy by exposing unsuspecting victims you love very much to it.

I think a lot about Leo standing up for his brothers in the things that really matter to them.

Like- Leo is the one who immediately pushes Mikey and Donnie into finding Raph the second it’s clear that their oldest brother is missing because he knows Raph can’t handle being separated like that.

Leo is the one who stands up for Mikey when Mikey wants to go on a solo mission, actively vouching for him and being the one to convince Raph into letting Mikey go, because being independent and proving himself just as capable of standing on his own two feet as everyone else means so much to Mikey.

And Leo defends Donnie’s honor in particular when his brothers’ intelligence is insulted because Leo is well aware of how important Donnie’s smarts are to him - and how important having those smarts valued and acknowledged is as well.

All this goes right into just how well Leo knows his brothers. For as much as he’ll tease or fight with them, he knows them, and he loves them.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rottmnt headcanons #rise leo #listen Leo loves his family SO MUCH #and like it’s no accident that Leo is consistently the one to give pep talks that #very notably #are less ‘everyone as a group’ and more ‘all of you individually’ #it’s heartening to see honestly and like #it works with how he is as both a person and as a fighter #he knows people he knows them so well he knows how they work what they’re like #which is SO USEFUL for subterfuge AND portal/teleportation strategy #my guy is charming his charisma comes from his understanding of people at an individual level #when he wants to be he is very very good at that #he’s still a teen who is too cocky for his own good at times but that does not negate his stellar other moments #he can be selfish he can be mean he can be rude but when push comes to shove he is so quick to stand up for his family #Mikey’s statement at the end of the movie about how Leo NEVER gave up on THEM is so important because it’s not JUST about the movie!! #that’s Leo as a whole he will never give up on his bros #portal jacked is telling of this too because although it has a lot of comedic moments #never once does Leo stop looking for a way to get his bros back #they’re everything to him #he’s the face man he’s a people person and he’s the number 1 pet turtle which I will discuss the implications of in this essay- #Will also say that when Leo does these moments of standing up for his bros he’s never expecting praise for it #he’s just glad they find Raph he just smiles when Mikey tells him he loves him he never mentions defending Donnie #leo has a tendency to show off fancy glittery moves but his real actions and feelings are sooo much more lowkey #that you have to be actively looking for them to catch them all #and I really really like that about him it’s so interesting HE is so interesting

“Red team was so selfish looking past the cursed team like that” listen man they were thinking about it often, and had evidence they were cursed too. They were convinced they were cursed too. Bad (with Pierre’s help I’ll be honest) singlehandedly destroyed any sort of civil relations and good faith between the two teams and this shot Blue in the foot when they tried to make the case about them being cursed last minute, about trying to rig it in the cursed teams favor.

There was never a cursed team in the first place, it was all a tactic to build paranoia and that feeling of betrayal and to get them to tear eachother a part. And it worked super well! At the end, neither would listen to the other about their evidence, not with an honest open ear, not with the willingness to think the other team could be cursed. It’s not a case of ‘Red just refused to listen because they wanted to win more than they cared’ they thought they were cursed too - if they were selfish, then so were Blue in the same way.

Every time Red had tried to talk first early on, it was met with extreme violence - and with Bad consistently proving he’ll play dirty to win, they didn’t trust Blue enough to listen to them in the later game. Maybe they should have listened then. Maybe Blue have listened earlier. The game worked as intended to set them against eachother.

#link is to another post I made back when they were debating about the cursed teams in purgatory and why red couldn’t trust blue and blue #couldn’t believe red. they were both stuck #and bless Tubbo he tried. he did try. but he was just as convinced he was right as Phil at the end. it was about convincing one another #more than it was about coming together and piecing together the evidence. yknow what I mean? they all cared about it but because of tension #and they also could not trust blue. which sucks because that’s hardly Tubbo’s fault but yknow #I dunno. it’s not simple like that. it’s not a case of red blowing it off being selfish not caring. they also thought they were cursed #AGAIN I’ll say it again bad burning bridges fucked a lot of them over for when diplomacy had to win because there could not be benefit of #the doubt or good faith or any sort of trust #it’s not just cut and dry red wanted to win more or blue wanted to win more. it was complicated and had way more factors #red thought they were cursed too!! they had solid evidence for this too!! #and like. again it’s a case of both parties kinda suck purgatory sucked it was always going to be like that because the game worked as #intended #idk. blue should have listened to red early on. red should have listened to blue later on. they were never going to do that on either side #idk from Tina’s pov it’s understandable why she said what she said. but knowing the others pov and what actually went down that’s not what #happened at all yknow? #they’re all gonna be feeling the effects of ‘we killed and betrayed eachother for two weeks’ for a while to come #mcyt #qsmp #qsmp purgatory #z speaks

little rich boy sirius who gets disowned and can barely survive without his expensive brands and the basic human need to eat at least once a day meeting the entirely too generous james potter who just falls for the vanity and sincerity of the reformed rich boy and decides that once sirius stops caring about brands and status and rich boy things and just cares about what matters in life he decides to spoil his boyfriend to pieces because he’s secretly sitting on a fucking fortune

#idk i just think it’s funny #like james would find sirius when he’s struggling with money because he’s so bad at saving and prioritising his spendings because he’s never #had too before and so james would teach him how to do all that stuff and emotionally support sirius through it all and sirius just falls in #love with this beautiful guy who’s just so generous and who teaches him so many things and finds value in kindness and sincerity and #compassion and all that jazz and james falls in love with sirius helplessly because he might be stuck up and vein and kind of selfish and #is stuck up and cares all too much about status but he’s trying so hard to be better and he finds empathy because sirius got kicked out for #the worst reasons because he’s always been the black sheep of his highly cultist christian family or whatver and he’s also outwardly queer #and james decides that he wants to give sirius everything and loves the way he looks in expensive makeup and designer faux fur coats and #heels and divine jewellery and all that jazz but makes sirius sell it all and learn what it means to be human and not rely on money and #status and brands and stuff and sirius learns what it’s like to be decent and in touch with humanity and only then does james take sirius on #a surprise luxury holiday for his birthday or something and then just buys him thousands of dollars worth of all these glamorous looking #things and sirius is like omg what the fuck jamie and then he just becomes sirius’ sugar daddy because he can’t help himself but they’re #also in love and much better people because of it and when sirius buys things now it’s not because of brands or because they have big price #tags like he used too. he now buys things with james’ credit card he keeps in his own wallet because he thinks he’ll feel pretty in them or #because he thinks james will loose it if he sees sirius walking around in it or if he sees a really cute toaster that sends him into a #frenzy that has him spending all way too much on an impromptu kitchen renovation but james doesn’t care because as long as his boyfriend is #happy and actually paying attention to the price of things and calculating the best value and taking james’ opinion as well and just being #happy and safe and accepted in his new home and family here with his jamie #please i think they’d be so cute ugh!!! #prongsfoot #bambibelle #drabble #fic idea #marauders #james potter #sirius black #jay talks

i can not believe we have to have this discussion in 2023 but holy fucking shit i expected this from reddit but not here?? i’m sorry but headcanoning mac as bisexual erases so much of the deliberate storytelling they put into very directly addressing the real lived trauma of gay men and lesbians who go through compulsory heterosexuality. and don’t get me wrong i’m bi and i love projecting onto characters that i like too but that’s a struggle i’ve never had to face in my entire life?? and it’s such a prominent part of mac’s coming out story that claiming it as my own would feel like such a fucking disservice to the story they set out to tell. and no it’s absolutely not biphobic to say that headcanoning him as bisexual takes away from his coming out story. because it literally fucking does. the look on his face when the only time his dad cared about him was from the false hope of him ending up with a woman and having a son?? the absolute fear in his eyes when the gang caught him faking having sex with dusty and she told them all he couldn’t get it up with him?? and jesus fucking christ i’m begging people to stop using carmen as “proof” that he likes women when it’s been established that mac was blatantly transphobic throughout that relationship. having silly little sexuality headcanons and peeling away these characters from their canon counterparts for shits and giggles on tumblr is usually fine because it’s so rare for a show to put such a huge amount of thought and effort into a character’s sexuality. but when you have a show that deliberately made that choice— a show where canon is guided by the same 3 guys and one of them was raised in a queer family with a lesbian mother who came out later in life— you can’t ignore the gravity of a choice like that?? there’s a million other characters out there to headcanon as bi. this is straight up disrespectful i don’t give a fuck.

#idgaf about peoples headcanons when they’re harmless but this is straight up rancid #i’m sorry if you can’t relate to this character without morphing him out of the shows extremely meaningful canon to fit your own projection #then ur just selfish?? #im bi and i love mac i see sooo much of myself in him but he is Not fucking bi #leave your ego at the door when you engage with queer stories i promise it doesn’t always have to be about you specifically. #i’m probably getting way too mad about this rn but whatever

i am reeling from last night as much as the next callowmoore bitch but i gotta say, now that we’re in the Sister Zone and things are gettin wild…i want at least one good platonic conversation between ashton and fearne before we start seeing any direct romance between the two of them, IF that’s where we’re heading.

like they’ve been doing the flirty flirty for 76 episodes, fearne is down bad and yes i do want orym to explain love to her but that’s another thing, and i think ashton is also down bad and yes i also want orym to explain love to them too but that’s another another thing…and yet they haven’t talked a whole lot????

i want some deep shit from these two, they’ve got so much to discuss and i hope things calm down enough for them to have a personal chat in the next few episodes. cuz even if they do become a Thing (and i hope they do, i think they will, i pray to god) i don’t want it to be purely based on flirty interactions. especially with two characters who struggle with long term commitment and feelings, i think they’d have some really important discussions.

and who knows! they might not get together, and i’m too intrigued by their dynamic to not want more 1-on-1 content between them.

(don’t tell me i can just write fanfic i know i can and i want to but i have Attention Defecit)

#i am nothing if not a consumer of interpersonal communication #give my greyace ass something good to eat #(it’s okay if they’re just fuck buddies too but i’m a selfish person so i’m gonna grabby hands for emotional connections) #cr3 #ashton greymoore #fearne calloway #callowmoore #cr3e76

this dialogue path im so 😭😭🤭🤭

#shri’iia going like you weren’t THAT good 🙄 as if she didn’t come multiple times bc he’s probably more attentive than her matriarch #like I imagine her matriarch being a very selfish lover and she always receives and never gives and shri’iia being so used to that #so when the act 1 forest sex scene comes and astarion performs as he does and he’s very giving and thorough and more focused on her own #pleasure than his shri’iia is like ?? brakes screeching noises in her brain she’s not used to this btw #not to mention she’s already drunk as fuck and trying so very hard to ignore the pain in her chest from oath breaking #so she gets even more confused and she just lets him do what he wants to do #cue the morning after .. ‘you weren’t THAT good’ whatever you’re just saving face 😭 #anyway. I like this dialogue path too bc you get an insight on astarion’s pov where he says he was holding back and making his excuse #when he was probably dissociating / feeling disgusted at having to do his routine again #but then it’s all part of his plan so he gotta do it. also that’s what he knows how to do so he has to do it and liking it is a diff matter #but when he says the ‘how dare you’ like it feels more playful so I think that kind of dynamic where they clown on each other is what they #both like. I also think that in the second time they sleep together it’s a bit more playful bc they’re getting that kind of dynamic more #based on the flirting scenes you can get prior the second time he offers to sleep together again #but to me when they overtly flirt / or when they fuck is when the seeds of the romance are planted .. it only develops when they start to #hang out with each other lol. like this whole romance that’s built on deceit and using each other #gets developed bc they actually like being in each other’s company 😭😭 idk that’s so cute to me #and when they’re actually together it’s like. this slowburn where they’re not putting any labels on it #they just hang out with each other for the next couple of hundred years and occasionally get married #multiple times for the attention and gifts lol #actually have more thoughts abt astarion/shri’iia 😭 they’re infesting my mind like mold #shut up about bg3. #bg3 spoilers

Took a DnD alignment quiz and got true neutral and my brother was like “huh. I thought you’d be chaotic good,” and I’m like “sure, to YOU, but basically everyone else can go fuck themselves,” and really, I think that demonstrates how accurate the test is.

#I think a lot of people who test as Good TM are liars lol #or naive #which also maybe proves the accuracy of the test #but I seriously I got this from a bunch of gamers who tested as Good #and I think the ability to save scum in games gives people false ideas of what they’re capable of #like all this discourse about the emperor and him not letting himself be mercy-killed #as if he should have laid down and died and these people think they would have in his place #nah #self-preservation is such a base instinct people forget #I don’t think you really know yourself until you’ve been in dire circumstances #and well honestly I’m glad a lot of people haven’t #but I think people will surprise themselves in the moment by how selfish they can be #maybe that’s why I judge myself so much lol #but I guess I’m proud of myself too bc while I may not sacrifice myself for a cause #I stood between my father and my brother far too often at the risk of my own safety #and between my ex and his kid #they were worth it #but the rest of the world? #that’s asking a lot I’m not willing to give #especially since I don’t live in high fantasy lmao #morning rambles #I’ve been thinking a lot about morality recently #no wonder I got obsessed w bg3 recently #its themes line up with my recent ruminations so well

Non-Black “ally”: **Does something antiblack**

Black people: Can you not do that, and treat us with basic respect?

Non-Black “allies”:

“How dare you monkeys ask for basic respect? You’re supposed to be supporting us!”

“They can’t help it their culture is full of antiblackness!”

“It’s ok, (insert person). We accept your apology(even though we’re not black)!”

“Y’all are asking too much of them!”

“It’s always you Black Americans getting offended!”

*Blah, blah, blah, more racist dribble about how black people are supposed to mule for them*

Also the Non-Black “allies”:

Help! Help! Our group of people needs help! Bipoc/POC solidarity! We’ve always stood in solidarity with Black people!

Black people/me:

#black tumblr #black girls of tumblr #screw bipoc solidarity #ya’ll only scream that when you want someone to give you free labor at the cost of you mistreating us on every level #you don’t need our help #you want it #you want our help because you think of us as your collective mule to pass around to other non-blacks when they’re in trouble #the pocs will never do the same #if even asking for basic respect as black person during their times of need is too much for them then I have something to tell you #you’re not an ally #you’re a manipulative pos who thinks they can have a whole group of people at their disposal #screw poc solidarity #I hope black people specifically black girls and women start being more selfish #let the nonblacks fight for themselves #which they can do despite their incessant whining about needing us #soulaan #vent post

Listen I love Mo Ran as much as the next guy but I can’t get over how he treated and judged Rong Jiu….. “he loves money” he was saving up to buy his freedom you ass

#song qiutong too #they’re just trying to survive and it’s seen as a sin… #it’s easy to judge when he’s rich and one of the most powerful cultivators on the planet #she was sold to be a sex slave or to be cannibalized #rong jiu grew up being raped on a daily basis #idk give them a little more slack? #Mo ran mirdered people and faked his identity and we forgave him. #I think we can excuse the powerless in being a little manipulative and selfish. #2ha

yknow some of you have gotten real comfortable mocking hyper-empathetic people because some assholes use it as an excuse to be a dick to those with low/no empathy

you guys do know that hyper empathy can cause issues? like it’s a real thing?? you know this, right???

#like i laugh at the ‘empath’ jokes too but. i already mostly ignored them cause me and a bunch of other autistic kids grasped onto the term #‘empath’ to cope with our hyper empathy because no one could tell us what we were experiencing #and it was calling it that or being a sensitive crybaby #but yknow. i ignored it mostly because a bunch of people were being dicks and calling themselves empaths to do so #however. it’s moved on to straight mocking hyper empathy? #i’ve seen people claim that someone saying they’re hyper empathetic is a red flag #i saw someone scare quote hyper empathy to mock the concept and claim it’s not real #and that hyper-empathetic people are just making it up as an excuse to be selfish and #yknow y’all have just found a new target? like. all you’re doing is finding a new thing to claim as the mark of a selfish asshole #i’m so tired #i already get shit from asshole ableists for my empathy levels i at least thought those claiming to fight ableism would stick up for me

I’d say Kon is 50% jay and 50% Kai

#Kon is blue and red to me. #he’s brash and impulsive like Kai #kon believing he’s meant to be Superman and Kai wanting to be the green ninja is kinda the same #they’ve got confidence/arrogance and are protective #also I think about the scenes where Kai sends out a chirp and the scene where he looks at his action figures of himself #that’s kon core to me #Kai definitely has more of that rage and anger tho #and early Kai in pilots was like not receptive to being on a team #oh this just making me love Kai again #anyways #but he’s also like jay bc he too is a bit of a bastard in severe need of character development #both Kai and jay kind of flirty? but Kai flirts w many people while jay really only did it with Nya #I think his humor fits Kai’s more maybe but w some of jays #I can’t tell actually #anyways yeah early kon and early jay suffer from the curse of male writers whose misogyny bleeds Thru #but I like them anyways they’re pathetic boy swag captivated me #also I think kons arc w immaturity fits jay more? #mmm also both Kai and jay kind of have to learn to think about others #which ig kon does too but he never was really selfish to me #self conceited tho hell yeah #I could talk about my blorbos forever #I meant THEIR IN ONE TAG NOT THEYRE
