#THIS WHOLE THING IS AMAZING. MY GOD

[turtleblogatlast]

I will never be over Leo’s 4D chess play in “Many Unhappy Returns”. Like, just in general it is a spectacle to see this character who we’ve seen goofing around time and time again, who’s only sometimes decided to take things seriously, only to show him making a maneuver like that.

And here’s what gets me the most about his plan against Big Mama: he comes up with it on the spot. The second he sees that Big Mama has the solution they need, he’s already in game mode.

It is so satisfying watching the episode back when you realize his plan, because he literally sets the stage entirely for a decisive victory. He sees that the champion is a kraken, and comes up with both the solution to defeating it and a reasonable excuse to get that solution into the battle with them on the fly:

“Like your champ aaand those six guys. In fact, we don’t want this over too quickly. You should armor up those rookies. The whole shebang. Especially with these pointy helmets.”

And this is why giving him teleportation powers is perfect, too. He analyzes the battlefield and makes use of all the assets, moving pieces around to guarantee a win. It is honestly so impressive to witness and one of my favorite parts of his character.

#rottmnt #rottmnt leo #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #many unhappy returns #Leo is SO GOOD AT THIS PLEASE #he can be a dumb dumb but when he uses his brain he is AMAZING #I love him so much #dude has the equivalent of Fire Emblem Awakening Robin’s “see the whole battlefield” ability frfr #all of this while not letting on his real plan at ALL #please he’s so good oh my god #and this imo is why he grows into the worlds best ninja #because subterfuge is one of the main abilities one should have as one #and Leo is SO GOOD AT SUBTERFUGE #*eyes Lair Games intently* #side note too but he does a bit of it in the movie as well #‘I missed on purpose’ #it’s small but he had to make sure the Kraang didn’t suspect a thing and he SUCCEEDED #GOD I love??? this boy????? #he’s genuinely so insanely well written and has so much depth I could rant for days man #subterfuge as well so sooooo much fun to witness in action ESPECIALLY WHEN WE THE AUDIENCE IS ALSO MISLED AAA #SOMEONE MENTIONED IT IN THE TAGS TOO BUT YEAH ALSO HE HAD COMPLETE FAITH IN THE REST OF HIS FAMILY TOO #he knows them to a T and was able to accurately predict where they would be by the time he made it back to them #like that’s insane he’s so big brained and deliberately goofy about it I love him #his number one flaw is not letting his team in on his plans and that’s so interesting to me #we see it so clearly in the movie #he CAN accomplish things on his own honestly!! #he’s actually really good at it! #BUT it’s not about him - and not letting his family in on his plans can and does cause collateral damage to them #‘I’m nothing without them’ and ‘it’s not about me’ go hand in hand and can either work off each other for the better or for the Worse #could also go in on how his issues with letting his team in are constantly brought up over the series and how it ISNT just a one way street

#my cobbled together au involving marble goddess before she became marble and a wattson skin i don't own #wraith was a warrior goddess an amazing fighter who could not be bested #she encounters a sun goddess wattson who seems other worldly even amongst other gods #wraith devotes herself to her and they stay by each others side for thousands of years #until one day the sun sets and wraith in her anguish and unable to die remains still #eventually she grows cold and her body slowly hardens and turns to stone as she waits for the sun to rise again #darksparks #wraith #wattson #au #you can edit tags now without retyping the whole thing that's so nice #sorry that got a bit sad but it's okay because the marble goddess is eventually awoken by a familiar looking blonde explorer

god i will never stop fawning over how absolutely SPECTACULAR afo vs bakugou was. genuinely one of the best fights in the entire manga in terms of art, the themes, the pararells, the gayness, the fight itself, and just. everything about it makes me wanna scream into my pillow and chew on it

#MIND YOU this was the fight that made me interested in afos character #ugh like i shouldve known bakugou was gonna take on afo ... like i knew him and izuku were gonna take on shigafo #cus of the whole win to save save to win thing #and its perfect for shigafo cus yk! #but i didnt know tomura manage to break free out of afos grasp early on #(which srry tomura for not having faith lol) #but yeah pitting bakugou against the guy was fucking amazing #like theres so much layers to it #like first off making bakugou(and izuku) fulfill the save to win thing by rescuing all might from afo #like how all might did in the kamino arc with bkg but this time bkg didnt'end' all might he was the one who saved him #AND THE FACT THIS WAS FILMED TOO JUST LIKE BEFORE #BAKUGOU WOULD NOT BE KNOW AS THE ONE THAT ENDED ALL MIGHT BUT THE ONE THAT SAVED HIM #AND FUCKK bakugou and afo.......amazing foils seriously #boys with gifted powers but one grew up with almost nothing and the other grew up with love #they both turned out shitty but only one of them actually changed for the better #afo in a way is like bakugou past self. hes fighting on what he couldve been if he let his ego take hold on his mind #and no bakugou did not solely defeat afo himself . and god my boy is so grown he KNOWs if it werent for everyone elses effort #he wouldnt be able to take this bitch down #bakugou i love you so so much #you are such an excellent character fuckkkk #and afo...... well you see what happened to him. fitting end to someone who thought highly of himself #died in a pathetic subpar way. fighting an injured teenage boy lmao #OH AND SAID TEENAGE BOY THAT LOOKS LIKE HIS OLD NEMESIS LMFAOOOOOOOOOOO #ive said this before but bakugou is afos karmic incarnation #i CANNOTTTT wait for volume 40 to drop. possible dawn of quirks era content afo character page (please) and yoichi/kudou colored by hori? #bakugou katsuki #mha all for one #mha manga spoilers #OH AND bakugou telling afo to shut the fuck up!?!?!?!?!?!?!? AND PROCEEDS TO BEAT HIS ASS IN 3 DOUBLE SPREADS????? MY FUCKING GOAT. #dahlia.txt

WTFFF I thought thirteen would be my new girl crush love of my life heart eyes wife you-came-after-twelve-you-must-be-better-than-they're-all-saying bbygirl and then I had to sit down and watch as she told a man who (if he were not a murderer, of course) literally every regeneration before her would've LOVED and FULLY SUPPORTED that "the systems aren't the problem. how people use and exploit the system, that's the problem. people like you" </33333 !?!?

#WHERE IS THAT POST THAT SAID NINE WOULD KILL THIRTEEN FOR BEING A CLASS TRAITOR #WHY WOULD YOU SAY “ERODE PEOPLE'S TRUST IN AUTOMATION” ALL WORRIED AND CONCERNED LIKE THAT??? #WHEN DID YOU START LIKING AUTOMATION OVER PEOPLE THINKING AND DOING THINGS FOR THEMSELVES??? #AND WHY ARE YOU TRAVELING WITH A COPPER??? WE HATE COPPERS?????? #did we FORGET into the dalek?? how about how he treated danny?? god there's so much more I can't even remember off the top of my head #(I understand soldiers are different from cops but c'mon don't even PRETEND twelve would've been any nicer if blue or danny were just COPS) #also a bit off topic bUT MAY I JUST TALK ABOUT ARACHNIDS IN THE UK FOR HALF A GODAMNED SECOND— #I know the companions are usually the ones to do the doctor's dirty work here but like #I just can't see the other doctors NOT having the business man lure the spider for being so fuckin annoying about it #like I was genuinely surprised when they had him do that whole song and dance about not doing it and then he actually just. didn't do it #the doctor LOVES fucking with evil rich business men this is PERFECT. plus why not get back at him for being awful to their companions? #absolutely gobsmacked thirteen let him act like that. I am wrong in thinking that the others would've shut his shit down a LOT quicker?? #anyways. I love jodie whittaker and it's just so upsetting to have her doctor do something so wildly off #THIRTEEN PLEASE I HAD SUCH FAITH IN YOUUU I WAS IGNORING THE HATERS AND FOR WHAT #I can SEE the other doctors in her still I can FEEL them they're there she's doing an AMAZING job but. oh my god. what did they make her do #I can't even say she feels ooc as a whole because jodie is bloody brilliant. it's just these... moments. that don't make ANY sense to me... #especially coming off of twelve?? I get the radical personality switch but that belief is a core part of the doctor. or at least I THOUGHT #thirteenth doctor #doctor who #I still love all of you who love her and reading ur posts/fics but I. will not be making any myself. I do not think.

wishing I was confident enough to post my thoughts on things without the need for a visual or cut off

Anyways I need to say the entire main party of ISAT is the rep I really needed to see… I hold ALL of them so incredibly close to my heart…

I’m going to talk more in the tags but please play this game, it’s worth it, im only on act 3 so surely it’ll get better :^)

(I reached max tag limit LMAO???)

#dramble #isat spoilers #please play this game it’s amazing the characters are so good and worth it please trust me #im about to spoiling a few things in the tags #so DO NOT look in here if you’re planning to play the game #prommy? okay ty #ISABEAU??? YOU! WHY ARE YOU ME?? #no because before I knew about the game I had a whole thing last month where I made an obituary for MY YOUNGER SELF #I wrote about killing them myself #with my bare hands #while I don’t doubt my experience is shared that is such a specific thing that it hit me like 5 trucks #when he was talking about being shy and nerdy with big glasses and clean braids #when he spoke about his shyness and inability to ask a classmate for a PEN #to thinking he was content with living his life that way but then realizing that NO he did not want that #to growing and changing into the person he wish he knew at a young age #it’s. I think about that a lot and seeing someone in media share that very same experience is just. wow. #NOW MIRABELLE!!!! #AMAZING AROACE REP #SHE IS SO AROACE YALL #GOD SHE IS SO GOOD!!!!! #adorable sweet girl!! she loves the idea of romance!! but she doesn’t want it for herself!!! #there are people like her!!! and I love them!! #you can be nice to people sweet to people love them care about them #but still be unable to reciprocate any more than platonic love to them and that’s OKAY #ITS VALID!!! #also siffrin being ace as well!!!! #god I am so seen in such a good way #im going to cut myself off now but my shorter thoughts on the others are: #Bonnie is such a well written child character #ODILE MIXED RACE YAAAAAA

*holding your face in my hands* listen- listen- Usopp's Snake Fireworks are not canon. They are not canon. I know that. You know that. We all know that.

But what if- and hear me out now- what if I gave him them anyway

#one piece #usopp #hebi hanabi #snake fireworks #nemotime #this struck me as i was trying to figure out certain logistics in a fic #did i write a whole thing to justify myself using Snake Fireworks in future fics?? yes. yes i did. not here. but i did. #if anyone doesnt wanna search the wiki about this and doesnt care about the Stampede movie. pls ask #i would love to have an excuse to share about the beloved snake fireworks #like. im just. god. how can you show me such an amazing pop green that shows the trust usopp has in luffy #that COULD show the trust he has in his other crewmates. and then. not have it be canon. are you kidding #its RIGHT THERE pls i am BEGGING oh my god #i get it would put a damper on one-on-one fights but like??? mr sniper giving support to the heavy hitters??? my fucking beloved #it doesnt even have to be the monster trio man. it could be franky. or chopper. like. pls #like. its like. imagine there's an Oars scenario again. or just some bigass dude and its not about pride or honor anymore #its just about winning and surviving and aaaaaaaaaaa #in conclusion. give him his goddamn snake fireworks #fuck. i could write an essay on this if i'm not careful #not a formal one but. yknow #knowing myself im probably gonna end up writing it anyway. and probably in fic form rather than essay form dfkjghdfg #eh we'll see #not now though. bed time

Song of the Day: February 23

“Inkpot Gods” by The Amazing Devil

#song of the day #'if I don't make it back from where I've gone / just know I loved you all along' #I'm setting up my queue for a more proper recommendation tomorrow but I've been rereading 'shoulder the sky' by Night_Fury #the whole series draws from various Amazing Devil lines for titles and such #'back then I was dauntless' is my favorite reworking of the Melidaan arc I've ever seen absolutely anywhere #and the title is a line from my favorite Amazing Devil song 'The Calling' but 'Inkpot Gods' is used to stunning effect in-story #and the beautiful refrain from the end of the song is playing in my head now as I keep going into the series #today was a deeply unpleasant day: the inevitable finally happened and Duncan cut himself doing his mudlarking #we'd been trying to schedule a preventative tetanus shot but several times we've gone in for the properly scheduled shot #and found out that they didn't actually have one in stock. unspeakably frustrating #and today we ran out of time for a preventative one. I woke up #(actually I woke up for work as he was going out for his walk but I got a migraine halfway through my morning meeting--no good-- #and took the rest of the day off--turns out to have been a very good thing--and went back to sleep. so I woke up the second time) #to Duncan coming back from his walk with a sliced finger and the grody plastic-and-tin swan that had done the slicing #(picture of said swan under the cut because why not. it does look neat. can't see the sharp edge in the pic though it's underneath) #and so then we called the pharmacy and got the same automated 'of course you can have a tetanus shot' as ever so we made an appointment #and we got there and they did actually have a shot in stock this time! except that they weren't able to administer it #because now he's post-exposure that's a different shot and they aren't allowed. so we had to go to the urgent care instead #all told we spent about four hours out of the house on this mission but Duncan did get his shot and some bonus antibiotic goo for the cut #and it was worth it but also bleeeeeeegh it was miserable. which is where my recommendations do come in #when I tell y'all that I spent today reading Night_Fury's fics and also looking at valiants' CoD art and it saved me #whooo I mean it. being simultaneously stressed + bored is the nightmare state for me and instead I had wonderful things in my phone

Please enjoy this video of Danny’s version of the Oogie Boogie song from my fucking amazing seat at his Nightmare show on Friday 🫡

#danny elfman #the nightmare before christmas #oogie boogie #he was amazing #the whole thing was incredible #look at him go #you can hear me loudly woop before he sings #praying to god he can bring his big mess/boingo show to the UK #if i cant see him do boingo once in my life i’ll die

130: Compound Storage Will Protect Us has some of the best voice acting performance ever.

The switch between comedic and witty, to terrifying and gut wrenching is something Dylan does so well in his writing, but then he and David took that script to a whole nother level in their acting

It's hands down one of the best woe.begone episodes out there

#woe.begone #wbg spoilers #i recently relistened to it for fun and then for that one web weave #i could talk for hours about it #the first back and forth between ty and mikey has some banger lines (mikeys little 'you cant do this to me ty' lives rent free in my head #he sounds SO dejected #or ty's 'they already hate me' YEAH I WONDER WHY #and then the second time around theyre a bit more agreeable and it even ends with mikey sort of accepting whats happening #and by the third time he even greets ty in a friendly manner only for the worst possible outcome to be confirmed #ty's anger at mikey's fate and mikey's reaction to being told everyone he loves is gone #its so heartbreaking god #his worst fears literally come true and ty doesnt do anything but apologize and eventually promise to leave him be as mikey asks #and then ty's decision to save him again #and tex coming in to get mikey out of there and its such a relief and the tension deflates as they riff back and forth #the whole thing is amazing - season 11 had some of the most emotionally difficult to listen to episodes in the entire show #ty betteridge #mikey walters
