#Get me a unicorn

[turtleblogatlast]

Imagine little Leo having trouble sleeping so he ends up watching tv and movies with Splinter to pass the time. Splinter often just passes out in his chair, but Leo likes the company anyway.

One day, Leo’s rifling through the movies his dad brought back for them (usually 70s and 80s stuff - Splinter has a bias) and he gasps.

Leo runs over to Splinter and holds up a copy of The Last Unicorn, begging that they watch it that night.

Splinter remembers absolutely nothing about the movie, but hey it’s got a unicorn and it’s animated so it’s gotta be fine, right? So he turns the movie on and passes out near immediately.

He’s woken up roughly an hour and a half later by Leo climbing up onto his chair and sobbing hysterically into his chest.

The movie is now one of Leo’s favorites.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rottmnt headcanons #rottmnt splinter #Leo: you wouldn’t let ME leave would you? #Splinter: no of course not my son! #but it was never a matter of letting by those left #rather it is a choice by those leaving #it’s one of the many moments that flashes through Splinters mind when he hears his boy sacrifice himself #anyway leo loves unicorns so obviously he gets to be emotionally devastated and terrified by the last unicorn like the rest of us #he considers forcing his brothers through the same emotional turmoil he went through #but he hides the movie instead #wanting it to be something just for him #man this really hits harder for all those ‘future leo lives’ AUs huh

the fact that they use the figurehead izzy defaced for "not doing its job" to instead give him his purpose and identity back. the fact that figureheads were historically not only fixtures of stature and power but also, to their crews, "the eyes of the ship guiding them safely home". the fact that izzy protected the goth crew from a lot of edward's spiraling ire physically, the fact that when izzy was presumed gone and dead the ship was steered and then moored in a storm. the fact that without his intervention they would have likely died in that storm, but instead afterwards were able to be come across by the other half of their crew and brought "home". you see the vision, don't you?

Wild Magic Sorc is fun right up until that one time, you're barely pulling through, and it procs and nearly TPKs. But, the opposite can be true too I guess. Vethryn my high elf tiefling Sorcerer that fell into Feywilds many many moons ago. Under the maybe not so guiding hand of an Archfey of Dreams and Wish, he was able to be freed but not without severely messing with his head, and how he spell casts. "Find me the beast that creates through its dreams, and I will give everything back to you."

So I think The Last Unicorn is a veritable buffet of Baldur's Gate comparisons for Astarion (Where were you when I was new? / But I do, I regret) but one I haven't seen considered is the parallels between Ascended Astarion and King Haggard.

“All things die when I pick them up. I do not know why they die, but it always have been so, save for the one dear possession that has not turned cold and dull as I guarded it — the only thing that has ever belonged to me.”

Consider a hundred years from now, a thousand years from now, what he will become when the wounds aren't fresh enough to sting. A bitter old man collecting thralls just to look at them, to have them, to own them, slowly becoming more isolated and hiding away in the darkest corners of his palace as he realises nothing makes him happy, not even sunlight. Quietly becoming resigned to it all, waiting for his castle to crumble around him and fall into the sea.

#Astarion #bg3 meta #bg3 headcanons #bg3 astarion #i have loved the last unicorn since forever it's literally haunted me #the MELANCHOLY #but ascended astarion is haggard to me no one can convince me otherwise #his petulance becoming angry and bitter and apathetic over the years #realising everything he's lost and never getting back #the absolution of it all #the relentless march of time that becomes meaningless except to torment him

if they met each other in elementary school steve would be like you know i have a horse and robin would look up from the dogshit coloured pencil drawing she was making and would be like this is a PEGASUS -_- and steve would panic and be like i know. i own one of those too. and robin would be like no you fucking don't because she was one of those little kids that swore and steve's eyes would get huge and he'd be like oh my freak she said the f word but on the outside he'd be like YES I DO i can SHOW YOU i have to brush her every day or my mom gets mad at me her name is rosie and robin's like ugh why is this dork even talking to me and would look him up and down and realise they both have bandaids on their knees but his is pink and hers is blue and to her that is a +1 point in his favour plus she secretly absolutely cannot miss the chance of this being real because she knows pegasuses obviously exist but why would STEVE HARRINGTON have one that's so not true

and she decides that like okay fine steve harrington's house gives out full sized hershey's every halloween and he always has this huge pack of pencils like the real fancy ones with the cool colours like silver and and gold and 4 shades of pink and he lets everyone borrow them and doesn't even get mad when kids shove them into their own bags so maybe he does own a pegasus but he TOTALLY wouldn't love her or anything he doesn't deserve her at all but robin really really needs to see it and make it love HER so it runs away and lives with her instead because she has a HUGE backyard okay it always takes her dad ages to rake up all the leaves and she goes well then prove it and steve is like :D okay come by my house after school !!!! and robin's like i can't i have swim lessons and steve's like it's fine i have a pool and this makes sense to their child logic and she's like fine tell your mom to call my mom and steve's like okay and then he walks away really quickly to go have a panic attack in the boys bathroom because he was lying from the beginning and needs to figure out a way to dress rosie up so that robin will believe that a pegasus has been magically transformed into a senile golden retriever. and robin continues colouring in her dogshit horse with wings with a blue pencil that was carefully labelled "s.h."

#🍦 #THEYRE SO CUTIES #i really like those two pictures of them they're so cute also the idea of this has made me cry obviously #imagining themlike. 10 or 11. still just kids but the funny kind #like are they getting into any secret government lab monster conspiracies no. are they trying to orchestrate breaking into mark h's house #to take all his limited edition dr pepper that he selfishly hoards away in his closet steve KNOWS he's BEEN there it's the TREASURE TROVE #robin trust me and he won't even notice they're gone COME ON it's limited edition!!! . yes they are #i'm imagining like all the bobs burger adjacent shenanigans like louise gets into. kids r so fun #thehre like yes santa is obviously real and also all monsters and unicorns etc. but also i know the word motherfucker and just learnt #what watergate is and i WILL be talking about it and playing secret government ops with my friends #ugh #anyway #sts

drew some of my favorite resi girlies as my little ponies for funsies ^_^

designs are f2u with credit! also check the notes for me just infodumping about my horse designs lol

#resident evil #mlp #my little pony #jill valentine #sherry birkin #claire redfield #ada wong #rebecca chambers #helena harper #ashley graham #manuela hidalgo #eveline baker #i don’t have a ton of design notes for jill other than her cutie mark is the keys and the 5 stars represent not only her team name but the #core 5 main characters of resident evil bc jill was always the OG main character to me #sherry.. so fun fact when I started doing this I was actually kinda making a mlp infection au with the resi 2 cast bc i like them lol so #her design has more lore behind it #i think sherry was originally an earth pony but when infected with G + williams dna her body began to morph with the infection which is how #she becomes a unicorn (william dna) she’s cured with the antivirus but is permanently changed physically which is how she gets her powers #and her cutie mark as well bc im insane #claire’s design was mostly for fun i do plan on fixing her cutie mark eventually but i imagine she’s a racer #also in my little au she is the main provider for the survivor group considering sherry is a child and leon is injured from his wound #so that’s why she looks so beat up and irritated #ada was fun umm she does have an actual cutie mark but it’s a secret. I like to think she uses magic to change her cutie mark and other #aspects of her appearance to better suit her missions #this also isn’t necessarily canon to my mlp au but her mane is dyed too i like to think it’s like this pink and red color #rebecca is a deer pony hybrid! solely bc i thought it would be cute and I enjoy hybrid species ponies #I don’t think that cross species foals usually get cutie marks but rebecca is a special rare case which i felt like reflected the games #helena i don’t have a lot of notes abt she was fun and has the beats the shit out of you cutie mark #ashley is another case where i don’t think she started off an alicorn but she was changed when she was infected #i ran out of tags FUCKKK

Almost finished that edred and melinda piece from my last post, here's some more sketches from a while ago.

#Briefly scrolled through UWE subreddit and a lot of ppl there don't seem to really feel like it's gonna get another season #which makes me sad ngl :( I do notice some flaws in the story #but I still feel like it's got so much potential to grow #unicorn warriors eternal edred #unicorn warriors eternal #art #digital art #drawing #sketch #uwe #fanart #melinda #edred #emma fairfax #uwe melinda #so soft for them

Silly. I had to see if I could recreate the effects of digitally coloring a marker drawing. I'd say this method works. Shading feels fun this way, too, so that's a win-win.

#horse art #equine art #horseblr #unicorn art #artists on tumblr #kifuart #i had to draw so many parts of this drawing so many tims #i couldn't get any of the angles right and i feel like that's ALWAYS the case when i draw a trotting horse #the ref picture felt so STRONG and i think i lost some of that strength with insufficient angles #but by golly i love the painterly feel of this method #those sharp and rich colors with marker strokes dictating shadow is working out really well for me #and i didn't think i could work with greyscale pah

Why I think Izzy’s death was actually necessary despite me being sad about losing my favorite* character…

So I am once again looking to reframe a moment/scene involving Izzy around Ed because as much as Izzy was his own character (with a wonderful redemption arc) his function in the narrative imo is as an extension of the Blackbeard persona and therefore Ed and his perception of himself

Ok so this is gonna be long but I think it’s necessary to frame this properly

Izzy and Ed’s relationship is one of misery loving company and instead of finding ways to legitimately pull each other up and heal from whatever brought you to that place it turns to one of toxicity where you either repress the trauma (Ed never telling anyone that he killed his father, that he feels like a monster) or express it in ways that only perpetuate the misery. At this point that constant cycle of misery is so familiar it can be difficult for the participants to recognize what they’re doing to themselves and each other and it’s difficult to not fall back into those patterns.

So while Izzy is making strides and having his arc, instead of saying to Ed maybe don’t go looking for darkness when you’re standing in the light, don’t look for trouble or problems that don’t exist just because that’s what you’ve come to expect he says maybe you’re just a mopey twat and there isn’t a fuckin storm, when Ed does apologize for his leg Izzy’s only response is fuck off.

They can’t communicate with each other effectively and it’s already caused issues. When Izzy tells Ed to listen to the feeling of throwing away the trappings of Blackbeard, Ed does but he has also been told by Izzy that Ed isn’t good enough so why would Stede want him now that he’s not gonna be Blackbeard. I think Izzy meant well and had the right sentiment but the fact is that the damage of what they do to each other has already been done. Izzy doesn’t just represent the devil on Ed’s shoulder, he’s the voice in his head telling him he’s worthless without Blackbeard.

So could the narrative have just said Izzy went off on his own or went with the crew in the end? imho no they couldn’t because in order to have a healthy relationship with Stede, and just to be a generally well adjusted person Ed needs to love himself and the constant knowledge that his self loathing can just pop up out of nowhere (something explicitly shown as an Izzy staple) won’t allow him that freedom. (I recognize this isn’t how self development/self esteem works irl but this is a dark comedy rom com just let some things be hand wavy.)

Sometimes the best way to help each other grow and be whole is to recognize that you need to let the other person go. That’s true for BOTH of them.

Izzy dying was the only way they could finally communicate honestly without the jibes and the looming Blackbeard of it all they could just talk to each other as family as people who love each other (this is not my ship and I have a serious issue with the lack of nuanced takes on love in this fandom but that’s a separate issue).

To give Izzy some grace here I would like to point out that his story can also be seen as one that tells the audience that toxic people in your life or people you have complicated relationships with are allowed to grow on their own and make positive changes for themselves BUT that does not mean you have to accept them back in your life, you are not required to give them space after they’ve wronged you. You can celebrate their growth but you don’t owe them anything. Ed can recognize that Izzy has changed but he was never going to fully excise Izzy from his life he’s too familiar and too much a darkness to hide in and it would have created more toxic situations. So yes Izzy had to die.

*I always mean favorite side character because my favorite character is EdStede/StedeEd. If you don’t love them, together and separately then you don’t love the show because this is their story

Flying a kite with dad, 1999

#there's such a cute story behind this picture #1. my dad desperately wanted pictures of us doing activities together but my mom refused to go anywhere with us OR use a camera #(like. she never went to parks/on bike rides/out to lunch with us etc. because she doesn't like going out) #he kept setting the timer on the camera and then running over and trying to get a good picture of him and I flying a kite together #2. BUT THEN I let too much string out on the kite and it flew away and I was devastated #so he went and called my grandfather and then put my grandfather on the phone with me #and my grandpa told me my unicorn kite came to visit him and that he had her now :) and thanked me for sending her to visit him #such a good wholesome memory

why did no one tell me that the last unicorn is metal af.

like,

#the last unicorn #feeling crazy right now #i thought this was going to be like. PTA-mom-approved coming of age story about a unicorn who gets turned into a princess and falls in love #this is absolutely not what i was expecting and i'm delighted #i love how the harpy is set up as this horrible malicious entity who the sweet kind unicorn must escape before it gets free #but no! as the unicorn says ''oh‚ you are like me!'' #and leaps for joy to see the harpy set free to take bloody revenge on its captors #you are like me. i am like you. we are both forces of nature that are the reckoning of all that attempt to contain us. #the unicorn is immortal. do not run from anything immortal.
