Tired: Rise!Splinter is a neglectful and awful father who doesn’t care about his kids >:(

Wired: Rise!Splinter’s negligence comes from a place of deep trauma that he’s carried with him his whole life – losing his mother, having been betrayed by the love of is life, being imprisoned and forced to fight for his life, used as an experiment and subsequently being mutated and losing his whole identity as a person – and while it certainly doesn’t excuse his behavior, there is no doubt that this man loves his sons fiercely despite his own shortcomings and perhaps it is exactly that love and care that causes him to keep his children at arms length in hopes to spare them his family’s cursed legacy that grooms them into martyrs and are thus destined to die young, a sacrifice for the greater good that Splinter is never willing to make even if it means forfeiting the world to the Shredder. Splinter’s journey of fatherhood began by being completely unprepared as a fresh young single father of four young children that depend on him to survive and there is no surprise he’s hit almost every bump there possibly is when raising a child but never in his life has Splinter ever blamed or resented his children in any way – he is not perfect and he’s aware and he tries to do better all because he loves his kids this fucking much bc despite all the shit he’s been through, those kids made him realize that he can try again. to dismiss him as an awful father is a gross mischaracterization of a deeply traumatized man of color who evidently tried his fucking hardest not to pass on the hurt onto his own children while grappling with his own demons and the crushing destiny of his family’s blood line that took away his mother.

it's so significant that they meet when one of them is slowly dying

Stede uses his ostentatious wardrobe as a defense mechanism, he buries himself under layers of lace and bright colours, uses it to dazzle and distract, to appear confident and invulnerable. If you are hurt, over and over, there are two ways to deal with it: become invisible, try to blend in to make them forget you're even there. Or do the exact opposite, become extremely visible, become so flashy it's off-putting. Don't eat me I'm poisonous, the language of bullied kids everywhere. Confidence is practice, so practice.

It's a shield for him to hide behind. He is clamped up and closed-off, he is very guarded around others, around himself. He doesn't share his feelings and he keeps his physical body wrapped up and out of view - even in his nightclothes he's dressed in layers. He never willingly shows more than his face and hands (except once, right at the end). Hide yourself for long enough, and you believe it is imperative. There's something rotten at his core that he must take great care to conceal from the world; there is something wrong about his body that no one may ever see.

Ed though. Ed sees him like no one else has before. Sees him bared and more vulnerable than he has ever been, physically, emotionally. Sees him delirious with fever, speaking without any control over what he says, sees him unclothed and unguarded.

Nobody was ever suppose to see Stede like that. And had he had any say in that, this isn't how he would have met Ed the Pirate, and certainly not how he would have presented himself to Blackbeard.

He doesn't get any say in it this time, though. He's forced to let his guard down, something he can only do when he's unconscious; he's too terrified of the horrible, repulsive truth that will surely jump out at the first opportunity.

And then - nothing happens. Because here's the truth: There's nothing wrong with him. There's no great, terrible secret for Ed to uncover.

He's just a guy.

#I LOVE THIS SHOW #ppl r reblogging that post abt this scene i wrote a while back & it reminded me how absolutely perfect it was because #its the perfect way for them to meet!! no pretenses! no walls to put up no performances to maintain #OF COURSE stede immediately shows ed the auxiliary closet; the cats already out of the bag #because here's the truth: he's fine. he's absolutely fine. there's nothing to hide. #& of course this isnt the point where he realizes this but its the start #& OH GOD this was written for me like. tailored to my tastes specifically i love it soso so much #anyway dont mind me #our flag means death #stede bonnet #thoughts

I wonder what was the thought process behind making Zazie the Beast represent themselves as a darker skinned individual wearing something evoking kinda native american (or culturally any other colorful “non civilized”) clothing...And how they arent even a parasyte puppeting around a human body, n are more like a projection over a bunch of alien crane flies in a trench coat. Like... I get that the people making the show wanted to make it extra obvious that Zazie is indigenous to the planet, but cmmon.. where would the worms get culture like that from. Why would a worm wear beads and a feather insect wing in its hair, why the decorated loincloth? Just because it looks cool? I GUESSSsss.... 

#trigun #trigun stampede #thoughts #i have only gripes #its just hmmm when they are like.. the only darker skinned character from the cast #cmmmooon why so obvious why use a sledge hammer #IM SO SORRY #I TRY TO FORGET #AND I DO FORGET #AND THEN I SEE ART OR TAKES ON THE INTERNET AND IM REMINDED #AND THEN IM FORCED TO HAVE THOUGHTS #anyway dont mind me #i cant stop #them being intelligent life form isnt enough we need to make it very obvious yes #purely doylist explanation #i wanna say that the watsonian would be that they learned it from some humans but CMMOOOOON #i hate this trope #aliens being like native american coded #humans are destroying their planet ooooo h #they cannot look like just... BUGS #At least they werent that disco dancer. #i wish they were the parasytes #also why not stay in the clothes of that lil urchin they first appeared as #it could be fashion of the worm hunters #but then why wear something of those who hunt you #why care about it like that

lets be real the ACTUAL upside to aggressively paying off my student loans by getting a nice paying IT job is so i can THEN go back to school AGAIN and go into MORE debt getting my PhD in something extremely niche like "1910s columns in Le Figaro on the early ballets russes productions and the critics who wrote them"

#the paper i wrote for my history class absolutely fucks i could use it to apply for a PhD program i know i could #anyway dont mind me #but also dont be surprised if i end up doing this #i would be so good at it #leo doctor of early 20th century french modernist ballet critics #thats my new life goal actually #so far the strategy of 'school then work then school' has worked really well so like i dont see why it shouldnt continue working

theres a million blogs these days with names like "puppygirl-macrobulge" and "netflix-for-girl-balls" and whatnot who make 150 posts a day like "theyre all out of 'piss from a girl who's been holding it in all day playing factorio' at trader joes, whats the fcuking point of it all" and i gotta say, i didnt expect that to be its entire own genre of posting in the 2020s.

#text #random thought #i dont think i could be this kind of poster. i dont know that i have it in me #i wouldnt mind being one of the girls they post ABOUT though #'ive got to huff the thigh sweat of a businesswoman who's been in stressful meetings for the past 4 hours' #like sure girl go ahead im whooped from those meetings anyway #but im limiting you to 3 posts about this
