[ cw: violence mention / death mention / ]

Will never stop thinking about how Leo, all alone in an endless void and being beaten again and again and again by the only other living thing around, still finds comfort in that space. The situation he was in was completely hopeless, and in any other circumstances he would not have escaped, at least not fast enough to save him from permanent (or even fatal) damage, be it physical or mental.

And yet, despite the bleakness of his situation, despite the agony and helplessness, all he needs is one glance at a crumbled photograph, one glance to remember his family, and that’s enough of a reason for him to smile.

Maybe that’s why his powers center around manipulating space - because no matter how much space is between them, no matter how dire his own situation may be, just the thought of his family, alive and okay, is enough to give Leo hope.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rise leo #the prison dimension is horrifying on its own #add in a monstrous being that towers over you and has vowed to ensure your suffering? #god I can’t imagine how scary that is #Mikey opening the portal was a miracle because if he hadn’t managed it there #it’s really up in the air what could have become of Leo #personally I subscribe by the theory that you straight up can’t die in the prison dimension #so it’s a prison in all ways #but the thought of a Leo who manages anyway who adapts and continues to have hope despite it all… #Leo saying he’s nothing without his family is a double edged sword really #because the thought of his family alone is all he needs to live. to hope. #to smile #nothing without them…but they’re EVERYTHING to him #and maybe he doesn’t realize it but…the feeling is mutual #one thing too is that hope that comforts Leo so much is not just that #should he think his family needs help - that hope can turn into determination #I’m unwell about this family #actually on my point of their powers - I truly do think the abilities tie in not only to their personalities #but to their relationship to family and love in general #kinda like love languages in a way #Mikey with his chains and time abilities values being around his family the most - he wants them to experience living in the moment togethe #Donnie is someone who is 100% a gift giver to show his love - his constructs are exactly that aren’t they? gifts of his mind #Raph is someone who willingly bears the weight of the shield - he protects his family like the best big brother possible #and Leo - he goes off on his own a lot but his mind is constantly on his family anyway #like a sailor at sea no matter how far he travels the compass always point in one direction - and for him that compass points home #even if he can’t make it back - it’s still there #and that’s enough

was taking screencaps of shri’iia and astarion making out in the sewers like the little rats they are and I just caught shri’iia’s shy smile…..omg……what if I ended it all….

#man I love her smile lines too it is so cute to me #I found a mod that reduces its appearance im like nooooo…. I can’t be without her cute smile wrinkles #mmmhm shri’iia’s journey with expressing affections is like. it’s not that she’s against it AT all it’s more like her forms of affections #before we’re literally let me kill this person for you PLEASE dog tail wagging I want to please you so bad and the only way I know how is #to ruin people’s lives for you 😍😍🥰 like see how useful I am to you don’t you love that praise me #please please pleeeaaseeee……..!!!!! 🥹🥹 but now she has to be more normal I think #like acts of affections is just SO new to her and she is just shy because she doesn’t know how to handle it yet. but once she does and #she’s more comfy with it she def likes it … like I was thinking she prob has never hugged or been hugged before #the first time she was held she’s like 🧍‍♀️❓❓ what are you doing and what do I do. #it’s like when u adopt a stray and they’re not used to being loved yet <- literally her #but she’s learning hehe 🤭 and in the epilogue she goes around hugging everybody bc she discovered she likes to hug and hold and be held etc #her love language is def acts of service .. #shut up about bg3. #bg3

#i’m too sad to put my effort into something #i can’t smile and say thank you and goodbye yet #i just wanna bury myself deep in my aus and not think about the future yet #but i know as he goes on his own journey without me it’s time for me to go on my own too #next year is going to be a big change in my life and even though i’m so heartbroken about this #something about satoshi leaving is comforting in a way? #it just inspires me to do my best #sorry for getting sappy #i know i mostly just draw my ship but satoshi means the world to me #he got me through so so much the past few years #so give me some time and i’ll be able to make a proper goodbye drawing for him #i hope i can end the final mini series with a smile (as well as all my tears haha) #satoshi #my sunshine #fr just been crying playing mezase pkmn master on replay LOL help #but i’ll get there ❤️

showing my dad good omens 2 and during the scene where maggie bursts into tears and tells aziraphale that shes in love with nina but thinks nina hates her, my dad went “oh no :(” and I was like “what?” and he said “well, doesn’t aziraphale have a thing for maggie?” and I. you guys I couldn’t help myself. I guffawed

#good omens #good omens 2 #good omens 2 spoilers #(I guess?) #I love my dad but my Fucking god he’s the most obtusely heterosexual person I know lmfaooooo #like I know it’s been awhile since he watched season 1 but HOW did az and crowley’s chemistry #completely fly over his head???? #and like I’m sorry but how did he watch any of their preceding s2 scenes without picking up on the mega gay vibes??? #like. crowley knowing all of az’s moods well enough to discern his tone from a phone call #the coffee shop convo about the naked man etc #all their little looks and smiles #THE NEBULA SCENE WHERE AZ THINKS CROWLEY CALLED HIM GORGEOUS????? #(or was it beautiful? can’t remember but u get it.) #their lack of personal space #I could go on #like if one of them was a woman my dad would’ve picked up on it so fast! he loves rom coms! #anyways it was so funny I almost spoiled the whole season out of indignation #like how can you watch aziraphale and think that man is straight I’m sorry but that’s so fucking funny

#this is extremely dumb but i cried today listening to a song #imagining a neverafter animatic of an ending #that is yet to happen and only imagined and probably wrong #also i ahve no idea how i’ll go about making that kind of animatic i’ve got in my head but #i’m in this bad habit right now of #associating every song i like with neverafter #and i just. i can’t quite imagine a “good” way of neverafter ending without some wild sacrifices #which means i’m associating every sad song with it #and imm making myself tear up for something that won’t ever happen #anyway i’m leaving that partial lyric that really hit me here: #“just as much as I mean something #everyone’s existence means something #and I want to hear it #I want to hear it #that voice reaching out towards tomorrow #so that someday when I’m reminded of today again your smile won’t fade #so that—before I disappear—my days with you won’t fade #I’ll leave this here”

boygenius wrote true blue from wilson’s perspective about house and we’re in love from houses perspective about wilson it’s so SO true

#your love is tough your love is tried and true blue #you’ve already hurt my feelings three times in the way that only you could #you’ve never done me wrong except for that one time that we don’t talk about bc it doesn’t matter #will you still love me if it turns out i’m insane? i know what you’ll say but it helps to hear it anyway #i can’t imagine you without that same smile in your eyes #i’ll be the boy who looks like hell and asks for help #etc etc etc #hilson #house md #when will someone freak out about this with me

There’s something I want to talk about and idk if anyone’s even gonna read this, lol:

(No hate on people who don’t smile or don’t like to smile, I know some people like that and they’re still wonderful human beings. 🥰)

Tonight I went to a dance with wholesome activities and music geared toward teenagers (I’m 16). I’m an enthusiastic person, and I’m not very inhibited. That’s just the person I am.

However, as I was dancing, I was looking around and nobody was smiling. We were all dancing, but everyone just looked sad. I understand there’s a lot of things going on in the world and in people’s lives right now, but I want you to know that sometimes it’s okay to let yourself smile even if nobody else is.

If you’re worried about what other people think of you when you smile, please know that I love it when you smile, it recharges me and make me smile, too. But I won’t lie, there are some people who are going to dislike you for random things like smiling. Which is ridiculous. I can’t count the amount of times I have been told to shut up because I’m “too happy”.

About 3 years ago people started telling me I was too cheerful. After a year of this I listened to them, and tried to tone myself down. I started to hate myself because I was “too happy”. Self-loathing became so bad that I felt numb, and then was depressed because I was angry I’d changed myself. Vicious cycle.

I was diagnosed with depression, had it for 2 years, and finally came out on top of it just last month. I feel like myself again! And that is a blessing and miracle I will cherish.

We’re always hearing: “it’s okay to cry”, which I agree with, but what about, “it’s okay to smile”?

It’s okay to be a happy teenager! It’s okay to be a happy adult! I don’t care what age you are, it’s okay to be happy. You don’t have to try to tone yourself down to fit in.

When someone smiles back at me, it makes my day! If you’re already smiling, try to keep on smiling!

If you’re struggling, keep on fighting! 💕I believe in you!

I just wanted to share with you the lessons I have been learning.

Much love 💕

#wasn’t planning on publicizing this but #tonight’s dance changed my mind #different from what I normally post #this is very important to me #there can’t be happiness without sorrow #there can’t be smiles without tears #one reason I love kingdom hearts is because Sora helped re-teach me how to smile #I’m not saying smiling’s easy #it’s not #keep trying #don’t beat yourself up #you are a wonderful person #talking #starfiresky #smiling #teenagers #depression #social media #tangent time

sm stuff that isn’t about talking

just my experience:

used to be scared of how was walking. felt awkward like was doing it ‘wrong’. scared to touch the ground. feet would lift up just before took a step. scared to make footstep sound.

also apparently i used to half smile all the time. did not realise was even smiling. might link to fawn response.

a different thing is that sometimes get stuck smiling. like big smiles and laughs to people am not mute around. the emotions were like a rush.

also cannot smile or laugh in mute situations. like the whole face is dulled. maybe trying to smile but the face won’t do anything. also used to be terrified to laugh. would literally bite tongue. not fun.

some phrases harder than others. especially affectionate ones, opinions, emotions, commitments. also ‘hi’ and ‘thanks’. but have gotten good at saying ‘bye’ to boss now.

shit like how the body’s positioned and what do with hands. often get stuck sitting in a rigid upright way, and get anxious about it but can’t move to change it.

brain just freezes. there’s just no thoughts in mute-situations. think it’s brain fog from the anxiety.

🌹🌹

#sm can affect all communication. even without realising. like with the smiling thing. sm makes communication hard to control bc #can’t help being mute. but then sm also tells you you must control communication. feel fear and shamd at making sounds #selective mutism #situational mutism #social anxitey #social anxiety disorder #sm tag
