Canon James Potter on hearing his name is linked to two ships in ao3’s top 20 ships for 2023 (no 8 and no 18):

David Jenkins was a playwright before he was a TV showrunner and it so clearly shows in how OFMD was designed as a stage play. Indeed, our logistical questions around how Stede managed to find his crew with just a dinghy or why distances don't matter only come up because we can see the ocean and the distances thanks to the power of CGI movie magic and wouldn't even ping our collective consciousnesses if this was all happening on a stage as the story in its bones was clearly meant to, in this essay I will...

#I mean it's already an essay but you get my drift #our flag means death #ofmd meta #the opening episode shows a lot of stage play structure that comes across as a bit awkward on TV like not opening with a bang line #instead it opens with crewmates muttering plot irrelevant dialogue and with Frenchies song #this is when the audience should be taking their seats #but it comes across as a bit strange in modern prestige television #where we expect to be gripped from the very first second of the script #actually I find it a bit awkward and think that element of the script should have been refined a bit but it does play to overall charm #of OFMD being more firmly in the pirate theatrical play tradition than in any kind of historical pirate tradition

I am once again overcome by the sheer magnitude of pranks Mikey and Leo could commit on the world of archaeology through their combined abilities of time and space

With enough time for Mikey in particular to be strong enough to make a small time portal - again within Leo’s portal opened in Someplace, Somewhere - they could plant so much shit just to mess with historians.

Like - Mikey wanted to try painting Greek-style pottery and Leo is like “hey hey wait…”

And now there is newly discovered evidence of Greek depictions of humanoid turtles laying around.

#rottmnt #rottmnt leo #rottmnt mikey #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt headcanons #‘but wouldn’t that be a paradox? wouldn’t it be a different timeline?’ #that’s what Leo’s mainly there for! #I see Mikey’s abilities as time based #so he doesn’t have too much control over where that timeline is just how far back or forward #so it could be a different but parallel world to theirs if left as is #but I see LEO’S abilities as specifically space based #so with his portal acting as a homing spot for Mikey’s to open within #it can cause the time portal to open within the same timeline #and YES that does imply that all the shit they plant is already there lol they just don’t think about it #and yes Donnie does in fact get on their case in regard to Paradoxes but then decides it may be cool to see happen soooo #poor Raph has no idea what’s going on but Mikey and Leo are laughing hysterically #and Donnie is muttering with a maniacal grin about how fast the universe may implode if they mess things up enough #I would also like to note that while I do see Mikey’s abilities as more time based - since he IS the future greatest mystic warrior ever- #-I ALSO think he possesses the ability to harness smaller aspects of his brothers powers #not so much their abilities in entirety but more so base components #look at me and my paragraphs of tags once again rip

Now I'm sitting and looking at the Willow Tail trend stirring up around here that I've apparently triggered by being a troublesome snitch

Feels like throwing a tiny fish in a dusky scary pool to watch a magnificent legendary monster emerging to swallow it

I am satisfied, Willow Tail deserves better than she got

It always seemed odd how they just made her up to be the bad guy seemingly out of nowhere

no worries, you'll never find that take, it was a local not-English-speaking social media

It's me, the DOTC mosasaur, lunging up out of my tank to devour all the bad takes that come from weirdo Clear Sky stans lmao

I LIKE the bunny bones plot. I think it was cool to let Willow Tail be doing something kind of sneaky, holding a grudge from the last book. I enjoy the way she still have love and concern for Moth Flight, while also having beef with Red Claw. Dynamics like this are interesting and what I want more of in these books.

But the writers treat it like a woman lying is the most evil sin they've ever heard of. So they let Clear Sky carve her face like a pumpkin, killing her slowly in a stomach turning way, all while their precious writer's pets keep all of their power and never have to confront the fact that THEY ESCALATED IT. AT EVERY TURN.

The woman who lied pays for it with a slow, agonizing death, while men who murder and abuse don't even have to squeak out a "sorry."

I'm deadass, Clear Sky is forced to make peace and he says, "It was a dumb fight." Like, oh ok? A dumb fight? Did it fall out of the sky, asshole? Or did you make a hostage out of a leader's daughter and only doctor because you blamed HER for killing that son you let die?

Awful. Justice for Willow Tail. The punishment for lying should not be DEATH BY EYE GOUGING.

#bone babble #In the back of my mind the Tom statement throbs ominously #The tantrum that one writer threw over the idea of a wifebeater not going to heaven #While Willow Tail (whose only sin was lying. No violence.) Is tormented slowly on screen while her killer stands vindicated #Others have said it but ill say it again #They dont give a shit about the concept of rehabilitation #They just want to dress up abuse apologia under the guise of restorative justice. #EVERY chance they get to punish a woman for doing something wrong. They do it gruesomely and violently #Where men get to mutter 'it was a dumb fight' and 'WE should never have let it get this bad' and see no consequences. #They don't even get a reputation hit. No one even dislikes them a little more. #Wind actually gets punished for NOT trusting Clear. #Actually sick behavior

Lance: Coran, what's the Altean word for 'bisexuality?'

Coran: Why, that would be kv-linockxm'nar'xilta'atli

-

Shiro, much later: Hey, Allura? Pidge says you guys have a word for, 'Vague sense of existential dread based on loss of faith'

Allura, brightly: Ah, yes! We call that blob

#Altean keysmash is my favorite thing to mess around with #inverting expectations with it is even more entertaining #I am not any kind of linguist I just speak decaying Icelandic #everlasting delight watching that one compilation of news presenters trying to pronounce Eyjafjallajökull #vld #voltron #voltron legendary defender #writing #“writing” lmao #sillyness #mutterings

Special shout-out to the little additional things Ed/Taika occasionally murmurs in scenes, which I would assume to be improvised, such as his “Toodle-ooo~” when Lucius is starting to count backwards, and his “That was embarrassiinnngggg :)” when he’s coming to confront Izzy, Fang, and Ivan after hanging for 20 minutes

#OFMD #Edward Teach #Taika Waititi #Revenge Rambles #Inspired by the fact that I JUST noticed/heard the latter during my last rewatch #LIKE AKDKWKD I simply adore how Taika manages to give him THAT much more personality #And breathe THAT much more life into him #Because all his little muttered utterances are just sO CUTE SKDNSN

realizing im kind of a weirdo about laios and marcille

#possramble #ignore this im just babbling but #the thing is that like. i don't ship laios and marcille together. their relationship is so so important to me in that laios comphets himsel #and THINKS that he might be in love with her but he isn't and that's my insane obsession #platonic soulmates for real but they're so sweet together that i fully expect them to be shipped together #like i get it. that's almost the appeal for me. if dungeon meshi were any other series there'd be an epilogue where they get married #convention dictates that they're meant to be together as the male protagonist and his beloved female deuteragonist #but dungeon meshi DOESNT do that and i love it so fucking much they're the comphet besties ever for my strange little brain #like if i ever did an arranged marriage au it would absolutely be laios and marcille having a platonic political marriage and then just #the most insane mutual pining with marcille and falin while laios and marcille struggle their way into becoming best friends #the imagery of the king and his beautiful court mage being tender to each other and everyone thinking they're in love is like catnip to me #like yeah they'd be like that and have no idea people think they should be together and the subversion makes me so obsessed #the more people ship them romantically. the more i enjoy their platonic dynamic it's like some sort of weird comphet fetishism idk #people think they're in love and im outside the window like YES... YES!!! #but also the second i see stuff of them kissing on the mouth or fucking im like oh god no i went too deep in here i gotta get out #don't wanna see that. i'll go feral over the idea of laios and marcille being arm-in-arm like king and queen but they would not fuck. #i want marcille to be his default comphet beard and dance partner/plus one at official royal events but they're not kissing. #she's there on his arm because he's scared of the other noble women tryna get him and being a baby about it #and people see them muttering to each other and laughing and generally being very sweet and think that they're dating but they're not. #she's actually covered in hickies from falin underneath her dress and is gonna get dragon dicked right after the party is over #like she's in her bedroom and falin's helping her take her ridiculous dress off while listening to her complain about politics #and falin is the person she goes home to the person she falls asleep to and wakes up with #they're a triad of utter devotion to each other but only farcille's side of the triangle is romantic #it's almost like an open secret because they're not trying to hide it at all but people assume and are surprised to find out #like people are so right about her relationship with the toudens but with the siblings' roles switched #love of her life & irreplaceable life companion. does anyone get it #anyway. i don't know what's wrong with me #it bothers me that they're not the undisputed most popular het ship for marcille on ao3 #it's unnatural. marcille being paired with any other man should be a fringe case.

My rambling is always cut off by the tag limits 😔

#you know what I’m saying it here since the tags cut me off #the pink brand shirt was cute actually #it was the sweatband that made it bad #and the tucking in of the shirt #if that wasn’t included it’s a cute look that I see people wear all the time plz I’m begging #Leo isn’t bad at this he just goes too far 😭 #and also #I love how Mikey actually has a similar eye for this as Donnie #their disguise hoodies are even identical #which makes sense as they are the more hands on artistic people in the fam just in different ways #alternatively Donnie GAVE Mikey the hoodie which is just as good if not better #but yeah as i was writing prev post I started thinking about the popular ideas of Leo’s style and such and was like man #people always go one or the other for him #plz he’s not a frat boy he really really isn’t 😭 #idk it just kinda bothers me when people wave away the fact that his face man status isn’t just pushed by himself but by others too? #*incoherent muttering* #I could write an essay on this but I feel like that would be too long winded even for me kdkdkd

I am here once again fresh off listening to that vegan teacher reaction videos to share some dairy farm information and wisdom that was not asked for but you get anyway

Calf hutches are used to provide the calves with safe, clean living spaces and offer airflow in the summer and protection from the wind and cold in the winter, and using calf hutches often leads to better health for the calves and easier tracking of any issues they might have as well as making sure they all get the same amount of milk (also, the milk substitute for calves smells amazing)

Essentially, they're cribs for babies. Calves have really bad immune systems, and if you can't easily see which one has diarrhea, then that calf could very well die and spread the issue to the others. Farmers dont want their animals to die. (Farm animals are not cheap. Even if they were born on your farm, if they die you're losing out on the money you could get from them. 5 month old steers can go for over 1000 dollars)

And just as an example as how people twist calf hutches

#thats not how that works #baby boy cows are shot in the head right after birth #me muttering under my breath everytime tvt talks about dairy: #no no theyre not #Source: Was headbutted by a male calf as a four year old when i went to get another bottle of formula #got to admit the 'stealing calves milk' one is kinda funny for two reasons #1. cows produce way more than a calf can drink and sometimes calves wont even drink from their mom but instead a different cow #2. Adult cows will also try to nurse. Sometimes they succeed other times they get kicked in the face guess what that cows could do to us? #info post #fun fact: small dairy farms sell their milk to the same places bigger farms do
