Quick Quip from Licht Klein’s Act 2 Ch. 10 - w/Azel

Just a quick quip from chapter 10 summary t/l - not 100%. Idk why, but I can’t help but laugh at Azel and his salesman ways 😝

///denotes alt translation

After waking from a dream about the rose in the rose garden, Emma receives a knock at her door. It’s Azel. It’s the middle of the night and he lets himself into her room.

Emma asks if this is common Tanzanite etiquette. He says it’s not but he doesn’t really care. He is there with an offer. 

Azel gives Emma three packages to choose from - each costing money from her - he’s not helping out the goodness of his heart. 

The lowest option plan is delivery service of a letter he offers one way and round-trip deliveries, but the cost will vary.

The middle plan includes a monitoring service of Licht and his well-being, & the letter delivery service.

The high option plan of Azel his authority to bring Licht back.

Since Emma can’t afford to pay out, she chooses option 3 the most affordable package.

He congratulates her for her choice and offers to bless her letter at an additional service fee………(🙄 oh god.)

Emma thinks that when Azel is silent he really seems like a god, but as soon as he opens his mouth he seems strangely vulgar///mundane.

I’m planning to translate summaries of each chapter once I complete his first ending. There is part of this conversation where his veil is slightly lifted imo and it gives me a little reassurance of some theories I have about him. This will be posted later.

#ikepri #ikemen prince #Azel & Emma #Licht klein act 2 #ikepri azel #I swear the way he was smiling during this entire conversation just had me dying for some reason #I swear I’d be afraid to breathe around him and there would be a fee #Azel loves his $$$ #Quick quip #ikepri translations

Thinking about how Leo says he uses his jokes to cope and y’know, thinking harder on it I think it may very well be because of what else uses one-liners and puns and that type of humor.

Specifically, 80’s action movies and campy sci-fi. Even more specifically, the protagonists of these.

So I can imagine why, exactly, Leo leans toward this brand of humor. It’s directly linked to things he loves! But even more than that is why I think it’s used as a coping mechanism.

In these genres, these quips tend to be said by the winner - or, if not a winner, then someone who will stay alive. So there’s a confidence behind them, an assurance, almost, that even if things go wrong, things aren’t ever too serious. There’s no bad endings here! It’s all good fun, even if the stakes seem high.

Leo canonically has been known to steer his brothers away from the more brutal villains and toward more fun, lighthearted activities and not-so-dangerous criminals. So for Leo, these jokes definitely make things less heavy, make the situations they find themselves in less intense.

It’s kinda not just coping, but also can be seen as a form of escapism. A safety blanket. A way for Leo to defuse the tension of knowing just how dangerous their lives are and replace that with a levity which implies that things will be okay.

Unfortunately, levity alone does not alter reality.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rise leo #rottmnt headcanons #how pretentious can I sound when talking about a fictional turtle more at eight #anyway I always loved to think about Leo’s quick line about coping with humor #I don’t care how much people think it doesn’t REALLY matter it’s fun to play around with tbh #also love the idea that Leo’s sense of humor comes from the protags of his fav campy series #(+ from his confident and awesome big sis April) #like idk Leo’s special interests directly paving out how he presents himself both to others and in general is so interesting to me!!! #he is someone who KNOWS people and their quirks so 100% he caught on to that 80’s style of quippy one-liners- #-and associated that with safety and levity #even the villains of these genres who spout off quips tend to be the ones who survive! #Leo desperately fighting to keep the same lighthearted genre as 87 TMNT as the horrors of 2003 and 2012 loom on the horizon #and I think something important to note is that Leo KNOWS things are real #he is WELL AWARE of how dangerous things can get for them #but he copes anyway because it’s easier to deal with everything that way #bro just wants he and his family to be safe tbh

In Tonia's eyes, a "proper" marriage is one where both parties well and truly love each other. Anything short of that isn't a real marriage and thus doesn't count as anything but a transactional sort of arrangement at best.

Which is to say, there's nothing emotional or meaningful in such a relationship—no reason to dwell on it with any actual seriousness or even sincerity, depending. It's like saying you're going to start a diet and then not doing that - insignificant and forgettable, a decision with no weight, and therefore, one is free to consider such a one-sided or lacking arrangement as something to brush aside with or without meaning for oneself.

Now, if this were a matter between two partners well and truly in a romance - well, in that case, Tonia would be very thoughtful.

(But right now it's really not the case soooo—)

#headcanons | (our heart burns until we sleep); #dash | (commentary from the leylines); #(this was gonna be yet another quick quip abt why toni is being so ridiculous about this plan of hers but lmao.... my multipara hands...) #(basically toni isnt actually treating this idea as seriously as she could and therefore not actually thinking things through thoroughly) #(but lol anyway i should focus on work so lmao)

I don't see the whole "born in the wrong body" as much more than a simpler way of trying to encapsulate the feeling of body horror that can come with being gender dysphoric. It's a metaphor for trans pain, we aren't always literally saying what you're hearing.

I think it can be important to make this known because so many people are misinterpreting trans pain. Gender dysphoria is a very complex and nuanced issue, and it's a state of being that's case-by-case. The "born in the wrong body" statement is a simple way of communicating the angst of being gender dysphoric, and I really wish people focused on alleviating that angst rather than going, "well you weren't born in the wrong body, that's impossible! Stop feeling that way!"

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #dysphoria tw #transphobia #transphobia tw #saw another one of those 'nobody is born in the wrong body' transphobe quips and ughhhhhh i'm not Okay #(also like of a trans person is literally saying this... how is that wrong? i don't blame them at all for those feelings) #(like i don't deny that some people mean this literally - i've just noticed that many many people use it metaphorically) #(because it's a quick and easy explanation for cis people or people who don't know much about dysphoria)

dad finished reading Stellarlune! he said “this book was *checks random page* all talking.” and “if this was what she was building to—which she said in the acknowledgements—why didn’t we do this like. four books ago.” and “this was an information dump, telling us everything to get us caught up. and where’s Ro?? she’s the next problem.” just thought I’d let you know.

#kotlc #kotlc stellarlune #he’s said a few other things throughout reading I haven’t shared #said he was glad for Sophie and Keefe when they kissed #that he missed Tarina (me too) #and didn’t like Stina because she’s being mean again #they were kinda alright for a bit but not anymore #there were probably a few other quips #but my family does not know the extent to which I am fixated on keeper so I’m trying to be civil #hence short quick convos in passing #but if anyone was ever curious what my father thought about keeper. here u go #idk why you’d be curious about that but you do you #if anyone has any questions for him I think it’s be funny to convey them

Elbert Greetia - Ch. 22 - Romantic Route Quick Quip

Not 100% accurate. Cybird owns everything.

Context: Elbert, Kate, Roger and Alfons are visiting Elbert’s family grave site. Elbert decided to bury some of the things he’s collected over the years at his parent’s graves. Afterwards, Kate, Roger and Alfons give Elbert some space, so he can speak to his parents. When he’s finished, he meets up with Kate……

Kate: Can I ask what you talked about?

Elbert: Just….

Elbert: Just….I wanted us to live together. 

Elbert: Even if our relationship hurt each other just by being beside one another. 

Kate: Oh.

For a moment the back of my eyes became hot, but I endured it.

Because Lord Elbert’s voice did not sound like he was lamenting the unchangeable past.

Elbert: But….I guess it was too painful for them.

Elbert: I couldn’t give up living and being happy no matter what. 

Elbert: Is this also the curse of greed?

Elbert: If that’s the case…..

Elbert: If that’s the case….I 

Kate: I’m glad you’re greedy, Lord Elbert!

BB just wanted to be loved 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

the thing with a httyd live action remake is that they would never be brave enough to do a 4-minute-long dialogue-less scene like they did for the original

#movies these days esp disney and dreamworks movies are too obsessed w cramming as much as they can into a 1h30 movie #they could never decide to prioritize intimacy and character development over consecutive millennial quips or quick meaningless action #dl

if that other anon wants to fight for the first go at you so badly, they've got another thing coming. im willing to bet im easily stronger, maybe even more determined. don't worry though, you know id treat you right — i just wanna be able to start early and take my time with you

i had to wait a little bit before answering this because it makes me so shy and flustered . made me blush in real life i cant look at it directly

#huge giant guilty pleasure . im still giddy and blushy and smiley #kicking my legs and hiding my face in my pillow #she speaks #anon #asks #thinkin about. a day where im Not in the breeding stock and a butch recognizes me before i recognize them #getting a lil extra attention and asked into a more private area. pulled into their lap n groped from behind. n then they kiss the back of #my neck and grind me against their bulge n ask a little 'remember me?' or say a quick 'youre even prettier when i can see all of you' #some flirty quip that has chills run aaaaaalll the way down my spine at realizing that this handsome butch has been That dyke #which. has nothing to do with this ask youve sent me. but i feel like i should share #guilty pleasure anon

this review is the saddest thing I've ever read

#I honestly believe YA like. destroys ur ability to read its like the junk food of books #and like this person admits it makes it really hard to read anything that isn't like. constant quick hits of.... quips and boning 😭 #it's not like earthsea is at all challenging reading #I've literally seen so many ppl who like grow out of YA but literally find themselves unable to engage w anything else #it's so weird and depressing #im not even mocking them like I feel bad for them #as someone who struggles w my own attention span and sometimes doesn't read for months like #this is not helping!!
