#fam I’m not doing well

[ohtobeleah]

The fact I’m starting work while the STARS are still up is just a concept I’ll never get over.

#it’s 4:30am #fam I’m not doing well #and my Garmin is flat #so my steps don’t even fucking count

Love the thought of Leo just casually being well traveled to absurd degrees. Like one day they’re facing their new Big Bad of the year and like, Draxum or whoever says that the key to their fight is located somewhere in, like, Latvia or some place, but no one knows where to start.

Then Leo’s like “oh I know a place” and when asked how the heck he could know of one it smash cuts to Leo falling through the ceiling of said place due to a portal mishap.

Also love the idea of Leo, being as accidentally (and then later, purposefully) well traveled as he is, sometimes taking his family on outings to different places all over, maybe to some new Yokai spots he found along the way.

In these places, Leo 100% lets his bros get scammed by tourist traps.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rise leo #rottmnt headcanons #bro was so excited about buying stuff that he didn’t realize it was a scam until too late #so now he’s super sus of all that BUT super willing to laugh at his fam for making the same mistake #anyway yeah I love Leo being well traveled because it honestly makes sense? why NOT use your teleportation to travel if you can do it fast #all his portal mishaps in the series as well as that time he accidentally went to Paris (+ once a diff dimension?) live in my head rent free #Leo destroying the stall of some random family’s restaurant in Paraguay and having to work it off the rest of the summer #he’s just like ‘hey guys I’m heading out’ but doesn’t mention it’s for a part time job in a different country #he only knows like English and Spanish BUT he’s picked up on a lot of other languages too due to his misadventures #tho he mostly knows a whole lot of various swear words #leo about to tease donnie for getting banned from witch town only to remember HE’S banned from a place in Turkey: 😬 #he keeps trying to find where he accidentally put his brothers in Tahiti but he can’t find it and he’s so salty about it lol

It’s wild how shipping culture has changed so drastically over time on the internet.

In the old days people shipped characters who either had only one line of dialogue with each other, never even met, or not even from the same piece of media. It was the wild west and sure some ships were uncomfortable but people had the mindset to just block the tag and stay away from ships they didn’t enjoy.

Nowadays? It’s more like people have to clarify that their ship isn’t canon compliant, character adjacent, and story irrelevant otherwise they get a flood of comments saying “but this character isn’t like this in canon” and some people legitimately get angry if you’re not following the canon.

Like- shipping and fandom culture from what I understand it is about engaging with media in a way that caters to you. And if you don’t like a ship or show just… block the relevant tags and don’t engage in the ships? The internet isn’t supposed to cater to us- we have to cater ourselves to our internet environment. And no matter how many times people may harass others over a fandom or ship they don’t like, those ships are not gonna disappear.

The internet has just been getting worse when people have decided to place morality in their opinions by saying things like “if you enjoy the ship then you support (insert horrible thing here that’s usually completely unrelated to the ship itself)” when it used to be “eh, not my thing” and people just moved on.

And for the record this isn’t about a specific ship or anything- just an observation of how fandom has evolved (and regressed) over the years and I find it fascinating from a sociological perspective cause we still don’t know how having the internet from birth affects the development of kids and how that affects how they interact with others- isn’t that scary?

I know that’s slightly unrelated but the way people engage in media has been changing over they years and that also involves fandom and the maturity level thereof in the internet space and someone smarter than me could probably write a whole thesis paper about fandom culture and how the internet has hindered the social development of people and how that affects community specifically from a fandom lens.

Just- for your sanity younger internet children: it’s not worth harassing others over something as trivial as ‘it’s not canon that this character kisses another character.’ Just find ships you like. Block ships you don’t. And just enjoy your time doing what you like!

You can’t control the internet but you can nurture your little corner of it.

#shipping #canon ship #non canon ships #reader x character #self ship #I get so tired of seeing shipping posts and the comments or reply tweets are nothing but ‘but this isn’t canon tho!!!’ #sonny when I was your age we shipped characters who never even met in canon! #even with ships I don’t like- I get exhausted seeing people get bombarded by fourteen year olds who haven’t developed critical thinking yet #every day I agree more that people under 18 shouldn’t have access to the internet #this can also apply to people who act like ‘if you dont reblog or boost this post (insert social issue here) then you’re a bad person!!’ #like… no #you don’t have to apply moriality to a stinkin’ reblog button! #sure informing people is important but you don’t have to take the responsibility of the world’s issues #we’re all doing the best we can and you don’t have to prove your morality to be a good person #it’s okay to not engage with those kinds of posts if it makes you uncomfortable- that doesn’t affect your morality in any way #For example: ​I’m never gonna reblog gory posts showing battle zones #does that mean I support war? absolutely not! #I’m just protecting my mental health! and you need to as well #the internet is yours to make it how you want and if you want it to be an escape from the horrors of the world that’s okay #protect your happiness fam

I fear everything DC pushes about the main continuity bat characters being family makes zero sense to me.

Like, they don’t even back that shit up writing wise. How am I supposed to take it seriously?

There are so many interesting character dynamics that I actually enjoy within the Bat Clan and boiling pretty much all of them down to being important only because “now we’re family” (ie: we’re related now, not we’re like family) or “you’re my brother/sister now” is so fucking boring and not as indicative of the fandom supposedly appreciating “found family” and “untraditional family units/dynamics” as I think y’all think it is.

Y’all don’t give a shit. Just be real about it. If you actually wanted or cared about the existence of “untraditional family units” you wouldn’t force the Bats into the most boring and round about nuclear family dynamics every chance you get.

You’d also respect that not everybody that grew up in the same house considers themselves siblings (blood related or not) and that tons of people can live under the same roof or have the same father (once again biological or otherwise) and not claim each other as siblings even if they’re in contact with one another.

Jason and Tim being automatically considered siblings just because they’re contactually related to Bruce without their explicit say so (like Dick and Tim for example) despite having never met before Jason tried to kill Tim’s skinny ass makes zero sense to me. A sibling tie should be given way more weight than that, especially within an adopted family dynamic. It’s a choice. Dick choosing Tim is important and even more crucial is the fact that he didn’t choose Jason in that same way, and I’m not saying that he didn’t choose Jason at all just that there’s differences. The commitment is different.

Like, the idea that you have to be siblings if you share a parent (one or more) is why so many sibling relationships don’t hold up against adulthood and a lack of forced proximity. If that was actually how humans and emotions worked then they wouldn’t disown and separate themselves from each other now would they?

The sibling thing applies to allll of the Bats by the way. That’s a choice you make and I don’t think it’s as interesting anymore when you take away these characters’ ability to form their own specific connections with others by forcing a relationship dynamic on them automatically just because they all have their own separate connections with one man.

For some of them the sibling dynamic is a really interesting character beat and for others it’s just a box for DC to check off that waters down the connection or feels disingenuous to the characters involved.

#I’m complaining about the batfam fandom and fanon too I notice now I didn’t articulate that too well #• #it’s always so….half-assed #they have these characters toss around the most empty “I love you’s #dc loves shoving bat family as family shit down our throats but with zero commitment #it only works in WFA because it’s a universe without all the conflict that makes a lot of these characters dislike/hate one another #if you want to change that I feel like it should then be written in (why’s that so hard of an ask for DC?) #like WHY do these characters suddenly like/trust each other to this extent #I was shown none of this character building wtf #dc #dc comcis #jason todd #bruce wayne #batman #batfamily #bat fam #cassandra cain #duke thomas #stephanie brown #barbara gordon #tim drake #dick grayson #damian wayne #batfamily critical #idk what to tag this as #anti batfam #not truly but whatever #I’m also not saying that a sibling dynamic is the best dynamic these guys could have #It’s not some top tier title or anything but it shouldn’t be tossed around so halfheartedly either #just to clarify

Not the stop clogging the Duke tag page getting ppl mad

#don’t clog the tag then idk what to tell u #I don’t even post that much on there it’s literally just the shit that bothers me scrolling through the Duke tag #it shouldn’t be that much #plus I’m being nice I’m not counting shit that’s wildly outta character equality #well I did once and the person was like but I DID mention Duke #it was a throwaway line about him teaching tim slang. let that sink in fr #and another person was like I post about Duke all the time #and I’ll admit my heart did hurt a lil #which actually all the time was like four posts so #but anyways I’m not looking at usernames #u used the Duke AND Oliver queen tags and all they did was ask questions about how crazy the rest of the fam is #questions as in two as one question each to start and end the hijinks #like I didn’t scroll through ur page and decide u were a Duke hater #I scrolled through the tag saw some bs and posted it #im not even saying ur racist I’m just saying don’t clog the tag #if Voltron was still big I’d be doing this for allura #and this is about Duke but Justice for Oliver in that post too #like being a non batfam dc fan is hard enough #at least Duke gets bat proximity #stanning ​CONNOR HAWKE?

in as many metaphors as possible, tell us how you feel

not to be dramatic, but I feel like the stuffed leopard my dog decapitated and delicately picked the stuffing out of and whose head she now carries around in her mouth… 🤙

listen… yk i said i didn’t want to see drama between artemis and zee/m’gann but the idea that mary might tell a captured by apokolypse artemis the truth would be so… it would somehow be poetic idk

#you eill have to walk with me and if not #it’s ok shoot me in the foot #artemis: zee will come for me #mary: you think she came for me when i needed her? no instead she left me alone and down with nowhere to go. that’s the true zatanna right #there. in fact she’s already let you down before and you didn’t even know it #artemis: you’re lying she didn’t #mary: she did send you to limbo to see west didn’t she? well it was a lie #in fact she never did that. you weren’t sent to limbo artemis #and the wally you saw? all in your head #artemis: you’re lying! #mary: i’m not. ask her abt it and see her reaction. miss m’s too because she was actually involved in this #what great friends that you have #AND BOOM #would it hurt? yes it would #but i also think it would make zee question her decisions #which YES #young justice #how does mary know? well zatanna told her in confifence just like for the dr fate thing bcoz they do consider each other almost like a fam #and are close #were #anyway

Welcome to The Waffle House vs Apocalypse blog!!!

This is the official blog for a dumb story I’m working on where the pov is a WH, and the 5 remaining employees have to keep the place open in the middle of Ohio.

There will be guns. There will be funny american stereotypes. There will be drama. And there will be a fun cast of characters who pop into the WH to share their stories!

This is an action-comedy written by a Canadian who has no idea what they’re doing!

#no seriously I have no idea what tf I’m doing #I’ve never been to a Waffle House #is there a Waffle House in Montana? #I’m going there with the fam soon for a few days and I might as well visit in person for research #i should probably look it up #brb #ok I’m back #no there isn’t a Waffle House in Montana… #and here I was hoping to do some actual research right at the source! #one day… one day…. #waffle house #writblr

So you complain about All Time Low not doing anything, begging them to release music then when they're working on music, you say "not like this though." Guess someone should have told them you don't like it so they can't do a cover of a song they like. It's almost as if this isn't just about you.

it’s almost as if this is my blog and i can say whatever i want 🤔

#lmaoooo #bro like my tags are not serious #it’s not that deep fam #i’m just here to vibe #if what i say bothers you you are truly free to leave no one is keeping you hostage here #i’m not begging them to do anything i’m talking to myself on MY blog #none of this is @ anyone except those who are just here to vibe as well #atl #answered ask #my first anon hate in this iteration of my blog such an honor #bring it on i have sassy replies for days
