Omfg, who in their right mind-- what team of people-- designed the tmnt 2012 complete series collection case??? Like I preordered this and was excited, but the packaging is a nightmare. The disks aren't secure, they aren't even laid out in a coherent fashion. The disks themselves aren't even labeled numerically. They're done by arcs!

If you need help with the order, there's a listing in the back of the sleeve page, which is a pain to pull out and get to.

Fuck. What a fucking way to cut corners and costs of production. As a paying adult, I would have gladly paid a little more for a more thought out package.

Pls tell me your thoughts on rock lee I love the boy

AHH YES! ✨

Rock Lee. My son. One of, if not the strongest Shinobi in the entire village. Certainly the strongest in willpower. He is such a force of nature, and I absolutely adore characters like him, "joke" characters that yeah, they're funny guys, they may be a lot to handle, but damned if they aren't some of the strongest emotional workhorses in the book/show/movie/etc. And Lee is one of, if not the best (second maybe only to Samwise Gamgee of Lord of the Rings in my personal opinion as far as strength of will derived from love) examples of this archetype (maybe the incorrect term?). His subplots and arcs are my life force I swear. A character so driven by his desire to fit in, to be good and accepted by those around him whom seem to all have what he never can. To be loved and to prove that anyone can change if they just try hard and don't give up—call it cheesy, call it cliche, I call it an absolutely refreshing and incredible effort of love.

This boy who no one loved. This boy with no apparent family, no childhood friends, no real talent at anything except maybe eating curry and sheer willpower by the bucketful—Lee is inspiring in so many ways. To get where he was. In a sense he shares a kinship with Naruto, but the village had a reason, terrible but plausible I guess, to hate Naruto. He holds the thing that killed their beloved Hokage, that destroyed the village and took so many lives, but...Lee was just Lee. No horror demons, no curse, just what could be classified in a world like that as a form of disability. And they ostracized him for it, sheerly because he looked weird and couldn't keep up. I relate so hard to this. I'll try to keep it brief touching on his relationship with his team and Guy Sensei in specific, which is probably silly to say because of how important they are to his growth, but at the same time—your friends, family, classmates etc. can only push you so far, encourage you or challenge you in some cases, but you have to put in the effort yourself and Lee goes so far above and beyond effort. He becomes the greatest Taijutsu user to spite all those who said he couldn't, a hefty Fuck You to those unbelievers like early seasons Neji, who said he couldn't. He fought and fought to be seen and be good, and then lo and behold, this alleged failure, he ROCKED GAARA OF THE SAND'S SHIT. And yes, he still lost, but he had still done what no one else could do. He hurt a Jinchuuriki (been a long time since I've spelt that so rip I may have butchered it) who had never ever been touched before, never come close and, I think, inadvertently was one of the first gears to spin in turning this heartless sand demon vessel on to a new feeling: love. Pure protective and very human love. The Jōnin I think showed him first, stepping in to save Hinata's life when Neji was about to take it, but Guy stepping in to save Lee only to find him still standing (after having his arm and leg given sock-full-of-gravel treatment)...I still get chills. Guy saved Lee, still determined to fight despite being literally comatose. These things, the love of his team and the sheer force of effort that drives Lee, put those seeds of humanity in Gaara, Naruto and company more or less beat the rest out later, and I feel much of it is due to Team Guy's sheer closeness and (ik I keep using the word I'm sorry) humanity... To be seen as a failure to many, to lose, was not the end, not a death sentence—even though he had his limbs crushed to dust like freaking chalk, obliterated all his muscles opening the Gates ... AND THEN HE CAME BACK. This is also due to incredible medical Shinobi and their techniques but again, they could only do so much. They gave him the option, told him he could and more than likely would die or be paralyzed for the rest of his life with only the minutest chances of success, but he MADE IT, and he CAME BACK. Through his sheer effort and willpower he came back. And none of it destroyed what counts most to him: his (literally) unbreakable passionate spirit. His love for his village, for being a ninja, for his teammates and for life itself. Nothing short of death could break his spirits and even then I think he'd challenge the Reaper and win. Rock Lee holds my heart in the palms of his bandaged beaten hands and he holds it so gently and with such care. This is a metaphor but u know he WOULd.

Not only all of the above plot stuff, they're my favorite arcs, but just him. He. My son. My boy. Made of passion, forged with willpower, sharpened by adversity, charging headlong through the crucibles of life and death and coming out on top every time, even if it takes time and work no one else in their right mind would put in. He puts it in. He only gets better. Every failure is progress. Every injury is strengthening. Every success is life-altering, worthy of joyous celebration, worthy of tears and jubilation. No challenge can break him, no hatred can take his spirit, and he functions so heavily on love, on trust and hard work and comradery and will. His chivalry, his nobility, his strength of character as much as his strength of will and body. God I fucking love Rock Lee ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ

idk if any of this is coherent lmao

[zonatcannibalism]

yes. people online DO NOT know what zionism is. and calling myself a zionist has caused people to be gross to me. but it dosent matter beacuse i refuse to let them take that away from me. zionism is what my ancestors called missing their indigenous homeland. zionism is what my grandparents called fleeing urope when antisemitism was on the rise. zionism is what my parents called having a home where we are safe and free to be jewish. zionism is what i call my belief in everybodies rigth to live in their homes peacfully. zionism is what i call my belief in my rigth to exist. zionism is a term made by jews for jews based on values that are woven into the oldest parts of judaism, and i refuse to change the terminology i describe my jewish idology with beacuse the goyim didnt like it. i am a zionist from a zionist family and i belive in peace and coexistance and a free palestine. i wont let a couple of online tankies take that away from me beacuse they decided it made me a bad jew.

im quite tired of talking about totk, like im sure you all know by know just how frustrated i am, but something i still strongly believe was the logical, and best thing to do in a sequel.. -

while botw was about you feeling lost in a strange world with neither you nor link knowing anything and both discovering it as you go, the theme of lonelyness and isolation, freeing the spirits of dead friends you need toremember again, in the end finally reuniting with one of the only friends still alive, after a 100 years

totk should have been about community, about working together with zelda at your side, as a companion, after having been seperated for so long, and seeing nothing of the time between titles, this should have been her travelling alongside you, after botw you'd WANT to spend time with her and get to know her more, her being the diplomat, the archtitect, the scientist, the translator of old texts, a historian trying to find out the truth about what her fathers kingdom was built on, to right old wrongs perhaps, for a better future- theres so much that she should have been, so much of her character was primed to go into this direction- and instead she is a pretty prize with no personality you get at the end like this is an 80s cartoon still

(this is disregarding the whole fact that ganondorf, AS WELL, should have been a giant factor in all this, in the history of it all, to explore his character and his actions, to have zelda research and find out about histroy clearly written by the victors- theres so much potential depth here that it dirves me crazy, botw was such a set up for more that was wasted, utterly wasted, for something i wouldnt even want to call paper thin bc even paper has more depth than anything in totk)

#ganondoodles talks #zelda #totk #ganondoodles rants #do not come to argue with me #im done trying to sound all nice about it #im angry and frustrated about this #tin foil hat me is convinced they shipped the “writing” for totk off to some mobile games company bc they wanted to focus on that movie #since the success of the mario movie made them prob more money thant botws sales did #i know it might no line up #which is why i said tin foil hat me thinks that #with the situation of the games industry as a whole and zelda being my thing of interest #its soemthing i wont let go ever #and i have zero faith there will be any good stories to come out of the franchise again #dare i say satoru iwatas presence is dearly missed #espeically knowing how the other main guys think about what games should be #i know miyamoto always had a questionable approach to games #pretty sure it was aounoma who said the “why would you wanna go back to linearity lolol nostalgia blindet idiots lololol” #not a direct quote but you know what i mean #anyway #wont be taking about totk in length anymore #im just tired at this point #getting better at ignoring its existence but it still hurts like a sore spot you forgot you had whenever i hear anythign about it

Can I be real for a second? I don't think L giving a foot massage to Light was very in-character of him. Like manga!L would've totally scoffed at how pathetic anime!L appeared when he did that.

I like the rain scene bc it's really pretty (also Light MOANS bc of L? *sighs* yeah i ship lawlight) but I'm always so ?? at anime!L's behavior? The anime made L way too melancholic and y'know self-deprecating kinda guy. In contrast, manga!L (whom I love to death) is so so confident in doing what he's doing and has the time of his life during the Kira case as he's intellectually challenged (by Light) as he figures out the case little by little.

I don't get where the anime creators got the idea that L is a very sad character who cares about justice so much so that he's actually Justice itself? Manga!L enjoys solving cases. I'm not saying that L doesn't care about justice at all- just that he cares more about winning.

So, the anime creators looked at a character who cares about winning (& his own ego) than everything else and decided to... make him give a foot massage to his nemesis (surprise surprise bible symbolism featuring L as Jesus *🤮* coming up) apparently due to accepting Light's (boy's first debut as Judas) 'betrayal' how can there be betrayal when there was no trust between them in the first place and saying "It is the least I can do to atone for my sins"...

The only way I could've made a little sense of this is if L was mocking Kira with that line but the anime just had to go above & beyond to make it (L's actions) seem too genuine for that to be true. which is. so. FRUSTRATING

Manga!L wouldn't have done anything like that. Not even ironically (he'd have thought it to be below him for pretending to be accepting his defeat mockingly to Kira). Even Manga!L's not enough of a bastard to try to compare himself with Jesus (and just after knowing (god knows how) that he's going to die)- like that's too stupid omg: even for a mockery.

Does he actually think that Light would pick up on the (him as Jesus) symbolism and be like 'oh no! L is too noble like Jesus to die by my betrayal i'm such a bad judas how come i NEVER NOTICED THIS BEFORE'... and decide to spare L's life? Or embrace his inner Judas like the bad bitch he is and finish L for that godawful mockery of Jesus?

Whenever I think about Anime!Light's in-character reaction I crack up as it would be smth like 'wow this guy who graduated summa cum laude from torture university is pretending to be Jesus? lol what a real piece of work. would've expected better from you L: so pathetic lmao i hope rem kills you soon i'm so done with you rn- rip 💀'

Manga!L (if he knew he were going to die (don't know how that's possible in the anime; still we're talking about how the anime creators seem to see L as Jesus so ~anything is possible~) that is) would never go 'guess i'll die' accept his defeat offering a foot massage to his enemy and inwardly throw a pity party being all "… It'll be lonely, won't it?" GIRL you were the one going on & about how you'd EXECUTE Kira once you catch him on live tv (also saying that you'd bring Kira's head to the task force) I REALLY doubt you'd feel lonely if either one of you were to die- that (killing each other) was the point!!

Manga!L is a selfish character: he values his victory above all else so the anime making him accept defeat that easily + gracefully doesn't sit well with me.

#death note #l lawliet #light yagami #manga vs anime #manga!L #anime!L #anime!Light #the rain scene #the foot massage scene #yes i ship lawlight; no i don't think the rain scene was very faithful to L's character in the manga; yes we exist #as you can see i rlly RLLY don't like anime's take on L: i prefer the og manga!L :) #anime!L just isn't my cup of tea #manga!L's confidence in his assholery is much rather appreciated #i keep thinking about how i don't like certain parts of dn anime: the first of which being this rain scene #the second being how the anime handles Sayu's kidnapping and Light's reaction to it #but that's a can of worms i'll open later #i can't shut up apparently so here's a teaser: Light wouldn't have MURDERED Sayu OH MY GOD READ THE GODDAMN MANGA #in which he bends over backwards to protect her! and succeeds!! (at the cost of losing the death note to Mello) would you look at that?? #yeah i'm aware anime!Light doesn't kill Sayu but the way he's shown seriously considering it #(and choosing to let her live only so as to not increase suspicion) #leaves me so ANGRY #SAYU MEANS A LOT TO LIGHT OK? #he would not fucking do that #aaaaand....end rant #p #my meta #sorta #100

All jokes about "It's perfectly fine for a fictional character to beat the shit out of a random teen" aside, why the fuck have I GENUINELY seen people claim Wu deserved to have been punched in the face by Faith. YES, he lied, which was fucked up, but that is a grown adult woman about to punch the shit out of a young teenager, if anything she should be more annoyed at the four "older teenagers" who never thought to intervene for... some reason. They just let him lie until he was caught bullshitting... like yeah it probably taught him lying gets you nowhere but also DAWG COME ON

#sry for this semi-heated rant #i know i joke like 'oh yea i love when cinder beats kids into the pavement' but like im just joking yo ... #i actually Dont think its justified for a grown adult to beat the shit out of a random teenager !!! #i dont think faith should punch the shit out of wu #and i dont actually think cinder shouldve done an absolute VIOLATION to arin and wyldfyre yo TOT #ninjago #raine's rambles #wu ninjago #ninjago wu #faith ninjago #ninjago faith

the walten files fans try not to demonize people with addictions, understand these characters are meant to be complex, and learn to grasp the concept of nuance + remorse + grief and fear causing people to make poor choices challenge: impossible

#every time i open that tag i am faced with the most dogshit media literacy and bad faith interpretation of canon the world has ever seen #felix did not KILL the kids. his irresponsible actions lead to their deaths yes but you people talk about him as if #he broke their necks with his bare hands intentionally. he loved them. he was their uncle hed seen them grow up since they were born. #he was in such shock and grief he couldn't make rational choices. did you people not watch guilty or hear his agonizing screams in bunnyfarm #and to top it off people act like this wasnt an accident. how him being an alcoholic and dui causing this ACCIDENT is justification enough #to act as if he deserves to be treated like a murderer. i believe him living with that grief and suffering and losing everyone he ever had #is punishment enough lol. hes sick. hes mentally ill. and we dont even know anything else regarding how or if hes involved in shit #or how its all impacting him. you people just hate people with addictions. #so called progressive people when a mentally ill sick man makes poor choices because hes mentally ill and sick 😡😡😡😡 #anyway. rant over. #twf #the walten files #felix kranken

You know what maybe I’m just tired and feeling the existential dread of growing up, but actually my small, petty hill to die on is that I don’t think I will ever forgive Disney for abandoning the fairies franchise. I cannot even properly express what those movies were to me as a kid. They very well may have been my first hyperfixation. But come on beyond the sentimental value, those movies:

Encouraged kids to take an interest in nature and be nice to plants and animals.

Depicted a (mostly female) friend group that spent virtually every scene they had together onscreen building each other up and supporting each other.

Featured a female lead who is essentially a mechanical engineer, and is not treated as any less magical or important for it than her friends who can magically make flowers grow or bend light (except for the first movie wherein her feeling less magical and important is the central conflict).

Gave said female lead a “love interest,” I say in quotations because while they are definitely implied to have romantic feelings for each other, he is never called anything other than her best friend and the two of them ending up together is never treated as an urgent priority. Their friendship is incredibly important to both of them, but no one acts like it’s a problem that they’re just friends for now.

Redeemed the mean girl pretty damn successfully (in my opinion), Vidia never apologizes for most of her actions onscreen, but she does realize when she’s gone too far and makes an effort to fix her mistakes, and from that point on she is integrated into the friend group who, as I mentioned before, spend 90% of their screen time uplifting each other.

In The Lost Treasure, let Tink’s temper have consequences, a good lesson for kids in not taking their friends for granted and treating them kindly, but also teaching respect for boundaries and personal space through Terrence’s end.

In Secret of the Wings, demonstrated that sometimes rules are there for safety reasons, but you can try to think of a creative solution to do what you want while still keeping things safe for everyone.

In Legend of the Neverbeast (admittedly not the greatest movie in the series), depicted the fairies having to say goodbye to an animal companion permanently, something most kids will probably experience at some point.

Inspired a banger of an online game and several banger songs.

And what has Disney done with this franchise they spent 7 years on (longer if you count the books)?

Allowed a massive decline in quality on the last movie made (Legend of the Neverbeast) and then acted shocked when it didn’t do as well as the previous ones.

Cancelled all fairy projects after that.

Shut down the game in 2013.

Made a bunch of the songs from the soundtracks seemingly disappear off the face of the earth.

I know it doesn’t make the top 100 shitty things Disney has done, probably not even the top 1000, but I am still extremely salty about it, even though it’s been almost 10 years.

It's just kind of.... Odd. How dismissive so much of the spn fandom is about the writers who worked on the show. Treating them like they're talentless hacks and proverbial monkeys at typewriters but the thing is that they wrote the thing you love.

Actors will make changes to delivery or tweak lines when filming but ultimately, they are bringing words to life off the page. Words that were written by writers. I am not trying to devalue actors (bc they are also talented professionals), but they are building off of what the writers have created and are breathing life into it -- it's a collaborative partnership.

When a show runs as long as spn you're bound to have absurd coincidences like the villain of 07x12 telling Dean (on the in-universe date of 5 Nov 1944) that his future is covered in black ooze only to have 15x18 and the confession air on 5 Nov 2020. You can have happy accidents like casting an unknown actor in a guest part who is so good that he then goes on to play that role for 12 years. But to dismiss all of the themes and longer narrative arcs and every story decision as the result of writers banging on typewriters with no consideration?

You're devaluing the labor of creatives when you say everything was an accident and nothing was planned and you're playing right into the hands of networks and studios who are trying to screw over and underpay the creatives who they've made their money off of.

#drink your respect writers juice and respect the writers who've created the shows you claim to love!!! #hello i just read a blurb about AI and was reminded how amptp is refusing to negotiate in good faith with the wga #spn wouldn't be what it is and what you love if not for actual writers and writerly intent #y'all are all 'respect labor' until it comes to this one show at which point you refuse to acknowledge just how much work went into spn #assume that i'm at all times on a bit of a hair trigger for a rant about respecting the spn writers and not being a pile of raging dicks #deep breaths. deep breaths. #spn

Something that has been on my mind lately is how Aziraphale, in the bandstand, asked for Crowley to be forgiven (by God) for his lack of faith.

To which Crowley responded, "I won't be forgiven. Not ever. It's part of a demon's job description. Unforgivable, that's what I am."

And Aziraphale argues that he'd been an angel, but eventually, he realizes it was indeed a long time ago, and it kills him. Aziraphale knows it isn't fair that Crowley is unforgivable, and he disagrees with the "job description." He doesn't want to admit it, but many things happen at the bandstand, and one of them is him realizing just how much faith he has in Crowley. So much, that he finds himself disagreeing with God on something fundamental (for demons).

His faith in Crowley is bigger than his faith in God at this moment, and that scares him.

He's already having a crisis of faith.

This isn't to say it's his first one, don't be mistaken, but this specific moment of crisis is important. Aziraphale panics and completely calls off Their Side, because he needs to put all his faith in God for the time being. He cannot afford to question where to put his faith - in Crowley or in God.

(Like I said, many things happened in the bandstand. That was not the only reason Aziraphale called it off. But I believe it played its part.)

His next move is, after all, to talk to God because he has faith in Her and believes everything will be resolved if he just talks to Her.

Before he does that, though, when Crowley shows his lack of faith again (same thing as before), Aziraphale is the one forgiving him this time.

His stance on forgiveness changed since the bandstand - now he's taking it upon himself to forgive Crowley, who had previously said he's unforgivable. And before he says it, he looks at him as if he's remembering what Crowley said about being unforgivable. He's essentially saying, "God may not forgive you, God may say you're unforgivable, but I don't think you are, I forgive you."

It's ironic how that happens right before he's about to put all his faith in God, desperate to be proven right, just to be met with the Metatron's floating head, whose words are making him question his faith even further.

#and then we are brought to the s2e6 forgiveness #tried to not think about it for my own mental stability #good omens #good omens s1 #good omens meta #can you call it that #it was supposed to be just a couple thoughts but i ranted #im sure it has been said before #faith doesnt sound like a real word anymore #so sorry #ineffable husbands #aziraphale #crowley #aziracrow #aziraphale has a crisis of faith #hes been having one forever really #but yk. moments. #david tennant #michael sheen

[beemovieerotica]

here's a take you can cancel me for: it's exhausting when transmasc spaces require censoring of any mentions / discussion of pregnancy or periods under the premise of not wanting to trigger people. because I'm sorry but if you are specifically in a space that exists for the discussion of the unique issues facing trans men / afab people then you cannot prioritize your own discomfort to shut down normal everyday conversations. you cannot hold your inability to regulate your own social media consumption over someone discussing their own body, not yours, because you have framed dysphoria as the universal hallmark of the trans experience and cannot fathom when a trans masc person would be glad or excited about the prospect of getting to have their own child, and other people are sharing in that joy. there are servers and chatrooms for people who are not comfortable discussing any aspects of what the vast majority of adults experience where you would be welcome to talk about sanitized topics.

#ftm #tired of this server im in yall #rambling #rant #to clarify because this is the bad faith interpretation website: tagging on tumblr is a courtesy #you did not necessarily sign up for the exact content crossing your dash (especially with the algorithmic posts) #but you are also capable of unfollowing people who have these discussions #they do not have to censor entire aspects of their lives because a stranger on the internet is uncomfortable

[artofkhaos404]

We are imperfect beings and God is just.

Therefore, He does not expect perfection out of us: only remorse for our sin and the willingness to get back up when we fail.

Repent and try again.

Remember not to compare your spiritual journey to those around you, either. Like in life, we all mature at different rates and none of us are better than the other.

Whether your sin of habit is as complex an issue as sexual immorality or as difficult to break as habitual lying... all sin is the same in the eyes of God. We each have our own struggle. What is thoughtless for you is a war for me. I may never understand why your battle is your own- hell, you may not comprehend it yourself! But what's amazing is God intimately knows each and every struggle you have and will ever face. Jesus is the gateway to eternal, pure empathy for the corrupted human heart.

He knows it's difficult for you...

He also knows you're trying.

Repent.

Try again.
