#im not actually interested in their dynamic or anything

[thejadecount]

I’ve seen people’s take on the ages of the MM turtles (Leo’s the oldest, Mikey’s the oldest, Raph and Mikey are twins, etc) and here’s MY TAKE:

They’re quadruplets

Look I don’t know about you guys but for once in my time in the fandom I’ve truly felt they’re the same age (or relatively on the maturity level). It could be the teenager/pre-teen VAs, but I don’t get the same ‘they’re different ages’ energy from the MM boys.

Like although Leo’s the anxious one I don’t get the feeling he’s the most anxious because he’s the oldest and the leader and blah blah blah. He’s just a teen full of anxiety.

And Mikey doesn’t feel like the youngest to me (because the scene he had with talking about the watermelon being like his head) but not like the oldest either (because he’s equally fooling around with Raph and Donnie). He’s isn’t some young goofball baby of the family but not a cool oldest sibling either.

And same thing with Raph and Donnie. Donnie for more obvious reasons mostly because the VA I’m gonna be honest but just his general demeanor. He feels like a teenager who happens to be smart, not someone who’s smart but happens to be a teenager.

And Raph doesn’t give me ‘edgy wishes to be leader roughy guy’ he’s just a jock teen who wants to do sports. He doesn’t give off the same ‘second oldest’ energy all the other Raphs (minus Rise Raph) have.

TL;DR: It could just be the VAs and the fact we only got a few scenes in the trailer, but I don’t feel like the MM boys have like ‘youngest to oldest’ energies like most TMMT incarnations do. When I compare them side-by-side they all just feel like quadruplets with different personalities.

#look this could just honestly be me fed up with the typical ‘Leo’s the oldest then Raph Donnie and Mikey’ lineup #but I do feel like they’re all the same age/maturity relatively speaking #look I CAN accept the idea that they’re different ages/ranges of maturity #but ONLY if Raph and Donnie are considered twins #like yeah I can see Mikey and Raph being twins but I’m sorry the whole brawn & brain dynamic #plus the fact Donnie was just recording Raph about to throw a shuriken at Mikey without interveneing #they just give me bigger twin vibes #and if not I feel like Leo and Mikey being twins would actually be an interesting dynamic as well #so yeah that’s my take on this #don’t take this as actual analysis or anything i just wanted to say this #ANYWAYS IM EXCITED FOR THE MOVIE ARE YOU GUYS?! #WOOO! #being honest when I saw the trailer and I saw the whole ‘ooze’ scene I was like #this is it. they’re quadruplets. we’ve finally reached it. peak sibling. #tmnt mutant mayhem #tmnt #tmnt headcanons #mm leo #mm mikey #mm donnie #mm raph #I love them and I would die AND kill for them #also side note love it how one trailer afterwards and we all decided to adopt them no questions asked

i think one of the reasons i dislike qtntduo as a ship is that wilbur hasn’t been on since literally before the brazilians arrived and everything about qq and elq was always made to be about him. and listen, i know qq’s obsession played a role in that but also qq’s thing about wilbur is so much more complicated that it usually gets portrayed. also having them be romantic and actually involved with each other would be boring sorry

#like the most interesting thing about their dynamic is the tension #also the unbalanced nature of the interest and the unhealthy route of qq’s interest are compelling as character aspects #but not as interesting within a romantic relationship #qq’s whole thing about wilbur is genuinely incredibly interesting. it also has very little actually to do with wilbur as a person #that’s why it’s able to continue so long without his presence #also every time i see a post about how wilbur will meet elq and immediately know he’s not qq im like ok and??? #didn’t literally every other player immediately see that he was acting off as well??? #i think their dynamic is interesting and that wilbur genuinely does give qq something he needs (open acceptance in a way he doesn’t receive #from any of the other players) #but that doesn’t mean i want to see that dynamic turned romantic #and i certainly don’t think it would healthy for qq if it did (if he was still here which he isn’t rn so yk kind of moot) #i hope elq doesn’t view him as anything special at all #i hope wilbur was just a means to an end for him and nothing else #but yeah a large part of my frustration comes from seeing qq moulded and filed and chipped away at to fit into the dynamic #rather than being allowed to be a complicated messy interesting character #idk #quackity #qsmp

Headcanon: adult Dawn has very high expectations for herself. Think "Surface Pressure" from Encanto, except she doesn't have any siblings. I think part of it is the nepotism, and it also doesn't help that she placed in 2nd at her first ever grand festival.

She's always on the go. She's either laser-focused on strategies and techniques for her upcoming contests, or she's just being whimsical and letting the moment take her where it pleases. There's no in between; both modes sustain each other. She's a natural morning person, no coffee needed. She loves being around people and Pokémon as often as possible, and her instinct is to talk a lot (preferably to someone, but sometimes herself) or to play with an object in her hands.

Wallowing isn't in her vocabulary; she will "no need to worry" herself and her friends into oblivion. Failing that, she either throws herself into new situations in the hopes that they'll distract her; or, if it's not too intimidating, she searches for a way to squash that worry on-sight. She will not go to bed until she's worry-free, and if she needs to wake someone up in the middle of the night to talk through a problem, then she absolutely will.

She often gets tunnel vision - she'll take action without anticipating the full impact, and it takes her awhile to recognize her harmful behaviors and patterns. However, once she does recognize them, her first question is a sincere and neutral "What can I do better?" (She'll still clap back at petty insults all day long, though.)

This also applies to her relationships - if a loved one is going through something, she will stop at nothing to find a solution. In fact, especially in her romantic relationships, she sometimes puts too much pressure on herself to fix others' problems, not quite understanding that others have different ways of coping, or that no one person can be *everything* for someone else.

Going back to my first point, Dawn's greatest fear is failure. And to her, failure is anything less than the very best - be it in her career, or in her ability to show up for those she cares about. I saw someone else post about how Dawn's offscreen character development into JN is about learning to enjoy contests for the experience and not for the pressure of achieving the same legacy that her mom did, and I absolutely love that! I'm not sure if *my* Dawn is there yet (even if she's gotten used to losing multiple grand festivals), but that would be an essential hurdle for her to overcome for sure!

#headcanon #dawn pokemon #pokeani #i realize that using surface pressure for an only child negates the main point of the song #but i truly think she would relate to it anyway. its the best ive got to describe the vibes im going for #additional thoughts TBD #the relationship section is basically aboit kohahika rn #but now im interested in how it would work for appeal's dynamic! #since zoey started as a better coordinator than her and is generally more self-assured #'failure is anything less than the very best' clearly she and gary have the same nepotism issues going on #dawn says no need to worry but in the long run it might be ash who teaches her to actually embrace that #yes im working on a dawn wip can u tell #edit dawn gives me the same vibes as alexis from schitts creek (positive) and i think that influences my characterization of her

Got so excited about a concept for my dnd character that it made me nauseous

#wacky watermelons #dnd #i thought to myself. woah what if eddie got possessed. thatd create such intresting dynamics #and then the force of a really interesting idea and the part of my brain that shuts down anything too out of possibility collided #and i got both light headed and nauseous like god was personally smiting me #which would honestly be deserved #but anyway. imagine #eddie. ball of nerves and self hate extraordinaire vs being forced to hurt the people he cares about #how do you deal with that? #how do you deal with that when all you can think is how selfish you sound when you bring it up? #how do you deal with that when the people you would seek comfort from now have reservations? #even if they know. it was still your face and your voice #anyway. this is probably not happening in campaign. but man do i love a good possession #ah fuck they did briefly possess ryke right? it was during a boss and for. a turn. #whatever. im going to try to mentally beam this to my dm like im reinventing magic #you guys will hear about it if it happens #hmu if you want to hear about the things actually happening to these fools. theres so much and i get so worked up

[lottieurl]

will people ever stop acting like shipping existing in fandoms is a huge problem. "what about friendships" Cry Me A River. focus on the friendship if you want like who is stopping you

#yes its abt that one post you're probably thinking of #its so deeply annoying like literally why do you feel the need to be so angry abt what ppl choose to focus on or find entertainment in #with yellowjackets for example im in a strange spot where i think jackieshauna real #but i dont uhh ship that and i dont actually want to imagine a scenario where anything Gay happens between them #especially bc i think its more interesting when nothing happens. much more tragic that way too #leaves lots of ways to interpret it sorta like with rhaenicent #or like. mistynat? i actually wouldnt want anything gay to happen there and i dont rly ship them #i just enjoy the dynamic a lot #but i think ppl who do ship them are great plus the posts are fun #like my god. and its grown adults complaining like find real problems idk what to tell you jddhjdjdgfhdns #speaking of focusing on friendships i think taishauna is only a friendship but one i find So Fascinating #but if you wanna make it gay i think that's great 😌

ignore this post I’m venting my disappointment in the tags abt twitter LMFAOOO

#dude do you have any idea how fucking awful it feels to go on a social media site and have your favourite character just be constantly #shit on? like I’ve gotten attached in an autistic way to this fucker and now it’s legitimately made my mental health for the past few days #TANK. I used to go on twitter and see people be normal instead of being bombarded with hatred from every angle #and not to get me started on the fact that bad refuses to fucking say anything #like okay man! just let the hatred fester and let people who actually liked you turn on you because you made a stupid ass decision #it’s literally just a hostile fucking environment on one end and the other is in radio silence #im still so attached and I fucking hate it #I hate the motherfuckers on twitter and I hate bad being so goddamn silent #I hate the people defending him in places where he’s wrong and I hate the people who take every chance to twist his words #I love my mutuals who are sensible people #but I cannot fucking stand everything else #and sorry for being so upset when im shamed out of a special interest and what used to be a safe place for me #you motherfuckers have EVERYTHING. you have the numbers. the popular ships. you have people who will defend you #literally cannot have shit in this place #our fav is treated like shit and yours is praised to the high heavens #in and out of game he’s constantly fucking disrespected #can you even imagine how that feels to someone who gets so attached to a character and his dynamic that it influences their mental state #or is it just easier to play the Saint who is never wrong and will never be #I fucking hate what bad did and I’m disgusted that he’s still friends with that fucker #and I am still attached to his character and story #the shame is legitimately overwhelming #fuck it all. really and truly #and most of all fuck qsmptwt I cannot stand you motherfuckers #my mutuals and oomfs are obviously exempt from previous statement

[beebundt]

im actually sooo sad i didnt get into TOH earlier bc now its fucking ending and its SOOO GOOD 😭😭😭😭😭 i want so badly for there to be more, so hurtful of me to get into it like a couple months before the last ep is being put out 💔

#bee buzzes #i initially didnt watch toh bc it just. didnt peak my interest when it first aired. not that i saw any clips or anything #just that i was scared it was going to be. bad.... #but this year i saw some eda gif sets and i was like. ok ok im going to push my self. im gonna sit down & at least watch the 1st one #i finished all eps within a week it was just. so so good and all the characters are so dynamic #like there was obviously nuance and backround and love dana put into everyone #specifically the main charas #im so sad. the villian was actually really scary and the designs were pog for belos #the collector is actually my fav fav fav design ever and i so badly want to know more abt him #luz and her mom. so so great #the story the story the story!!! #and goooooood eda is so hot i cant even lie. we love an atrociously cursed powerful bird woman

[sonknuxadow]

do you feel like movie sonknux got like really weird after sonic movie 2? I mean I still see some ppl ship the movie version of sonic & knuckles and I was like "oh god no they're siblings"

tbh i never really got actually into movie sonknux even before the movie came out because i kind of had a feeling that they might do something that made movie sonknux weird. and well *insert screenshot of robotnik saying "look at that. i was right"*

and i guess you could argue "well they never SAID theyre brothers" and who knows maybe im wrong but it seems obvious to me that theyre going down the route of tails and knuckles becoming part of the family? so im just. not really comfortable with the idea of shipping sonknux in the movie universe. i still like sonknux in the games comics etc though because those are set in different universes and dont even imply a familial relationship between sonic and knuckles but im just gonna have to say no thanks to movie sonknux

#sonic movie spoilers #sonic 2 spoilers #asks #and i feel similarly about movie sonadow like joking about how theyre gonna be gay is fine thats whatever #but every time i see people becoming actually invested in movie sonadow im just like #Did you guys learn nothing from the sonknux enjoyers who posted a bunch of ship stuff before the movie came out #and now regret it immensely because they may or may not be brothers #< not saying liking movie sonadow makes you a bad person or anything btw #i just dont get why people are already wanting to ship them when we dont know anyhting about their dynamic #and i also find it annoying that some people are treating shadow like hes a potential love interest and nothing else #but whatever thats a topic for another post

[cherry-shipping]

ALSO. sorry for being lame but i think its fun to think about watching all these stupid romantic kissy scenes with my f/os 😀👍

#cherry chats #mostly preslash. but as a couple too #its fun if its preslash its like OOooooobhhhhhhhh there is something on both of our minds but lets just not say anything #and postslash its just hehe kissy kissy kissy ^__^ #sorry my favorite selfship thoughts are all lame. i cant help just loving a generic mutual pining/friends to lovers story -_- #its very rare any of my selfships are anything genuinely interesting like a lot of other selfshippers do #u know where they think of interesting stories and character dynamics and aus and stuff #(those are all so awesome by the way love hearing about peoples intricate selfship stories) #but i cant DO that or well maybe i could if i tried but i wouldnt like it as much #its like when i draw me and sans and people say nice things like 'your self insert is so cute!!!' n its like #buddy that is literally just me. like thats just regular me. thanks though <3 #THERES NOTHING INTERESTING HAPPENING IN ANY OF MY SELFSHIPS ITS JUST BEING COOL FRIENDS UNTIL WE ARENT ANYMORE!!! U GET IT!!!!!!!! #so its the same here. my f/o imagines posts where i sneakily say 'f/o' rather than just sans so as to mislead you into thinking i actually #spend time thinking about anyone other than him #are all just pretty boring basic fanfic-y stuff. which im cool with #its just what i like best <3333

the unexpected aspec experience of opening up a word document to write more pages for an ~adult~ fic, happily writing a little bit, and then suddenly being completely uninterested in the subject material anymore. 0/10 very inconvenient, finishing this fic will take forever at this rate

#[pensive emoji] #this is why ~adult~ fics that include other stuff in them too are more consistently engaging to me #like. the logistics of an eldritch being being involved is interesting regardless of if I'm interested in the main focus of the fic or not #another example of other stuff that makes it always interesting to read is the character interactions on an emotional level #it can be fun and interesting to read even when I'm not actually interested in seeking out an ~adult~ fic if it reveals character stuff #or shows things about the dynamic between two characters. or shows something about their issues and insecurities and perspectives #adult times as a way of showing anything from manipulation to adoration to endless trust to longing for a closeness that isnt there... #theres so many interesting things that can be shown and explored. especially when its such an inherently vulnerable thing. #me when characters are put in an emotionally vulnerable situation: >:) yes ha ha ha yes #idk I'm just documenting an aspec experience here because it's interesting to figure out how to put my thoughts into words here #and explaining that 'yes it really Can serve more purposes to be put in fics than just being Into It' feels worthwhile #gotta throw my aspec perspective out there into the void #but yeah this post is about a spicy ford fic im writing that has no plot. which is why its being posted here lol #ive also mentioned aspec stuff on this blog before so it feels relevant enough to me #the community tag feels so dramatic i am sorry for any disappointment caused by this post not having anything in it beyond mentioning a WIP #but 🤷‍♂️ its technically the topic of the post i guess

trying to read 91w is so difficult like i get that it's slow burn but christ this isn't even spn anymore

#LIKE ITS OKAY. im a komodobits fangirl through & through or whater (<- has read ACK like four times) #but its so SLOW & so unrelated to the show dynamics aside from dean & cas.... just been skimming it at this point bc #i just. do not care abt battle strategies 💔 if it was examining politics or tensions or anything actually interesting abt war that would #be different but those scenes are so spread out mainly its just battle play by plays 😭

trying soo hard to shut up abt the way barry’s character was handled in the post-coma seasons but the more i think abt it the more pissed off i get what in gods name were they thinkingggg

#i wanna move on bc i know im getting annoying but :/ this sucks so bad. they massacred my boy LITERALLY </3 #👻.evp #like its not even just the lack of him getting anything in s13 #but also them never further exploring his redemption arc in any actual depth #or taking time to explore his new dynamics w the team or even just any of the wider implications this character shift of his brings #hell even his friendship w archer is ridiculously underdeveloped for how much history they have. wheres the nuance. wheres the flavor. #itz soo frustrating this is such an interesting new direction to take him so why dont they do ANYTHTJNG WITH HIM #AND 12x8 DONT GET ME STARTED. barry’s repressed resentment towards archer was finally given some more focus #yet it wasnt rly. touched on. in any depth or detail. #like they just parroted the same shit we’ve known for years #instead of actually delving into what this means for them now that they’ve grown as friends #there were instances here and there where it felt like they were going to get into it but they never committed #i keep saying it but my god he was sooooo lazily integrated into this episode it drives me crazy. what was the point. #like it genuinely feels like they only included him here to heighten the stakes rather than out of an actual desire to continue his arc #which like. ok fine if that was the initial plan but also u can do both its not that hard i prommy #makes me so mad i was SOO EXCITED for this episode when it was set to air #and it ended up being one of the biggest disappointments in this shows run to me. mission: difficult my detested i HATE UUUUUUUUU 👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹 #like if thats truly the last we’ll ever see or hear from him again thats rly fuckin disappointing :[ what a lame way to send him off #on top of that there’s zero followup to any of this shit in s13 #like i dont expect him to be a primary character or whatever but like. why didnt they even attempt to provide any closure #let the man haunt the narrative a lil or SOMETHING #archer watched him die in his arms and now he has to work under the man who’s indirectly responsible for it #and u have NOTHING to say on that??? HUH???? #like. aauuuuuuugh idk man this shows so annoyinggggg #there was sooo much potential here but the execution of it all was just so boringgg IT COULDA BEEN GOOD IF THEY CARED MORE THAN NOT AT ALL #whatever i guess who fucking cares. anyway cookie batter

[literally-defective]

#i think im giving up on hotd #like i was never crazy invested tbh #but i was here for the fashion and the politics and while the fashion is still there the politics have become nonsense #nevermind the larys scene in the most recent ep #like...i sat through viserys' treatment of alicent and daemon's creeping on rhaenyra bc it made sense and was plot relevant #but at this point it makes no sense politically and doesnt actually add anything to the plot #that wouldn't be added by literally any other form of 'payment' #and the messy characterisation and plot of the show overall have just degraded to the point that I have no interest anymore #it was on thin ice at the beginning and hooked me in with alicent and rhaenyra's dynamic for the first few episodes #but now the ice has cracked and i am just going to watch it sink via gifsets #ari tells you things

#girl i have so many teshes thoughts its INSANE #me starting with haha actually this ship has no basis i just want to Put Tesilid Through It #but over the past few months of brainrotting their dynamic is now like. #what if we were doomed from the start and there was never anything either of us could do to save the other #(not even talking about the regression but rather the stigma bearer thing and how they have no social power) #(but also the regression thing) #what if we loved each other throughout all the lifetimes but there could never be a happy ending. tragedy dogs our footsteps #what if we were 'guy who has a good head on his shoulders and recognises our low social positions and looks out for his friends in similar #predicaments' x 'guy who is way too giving and this is bad bc the world is out to get him and he loves ppl too much to care about #the danger to himself' #what if we were 'guy who is way too giving' x 'guy who wants to protect him but Cant' #doomed ships..... #swings hestio around i like you SO much. i need to put you under a microscope and in a fish tank #(statements that should not ever be viewed by people outside of tumblr) #some of my fic outlines has notes that are like 'wow if they had the transmigrators privilege this wouldnt even have been a problem' #and im suddenly very appreciative of canon #god bless canon tesilid may you be happy. not my fanfic tesilid though im making him miserable #anyway. the more i think about it the more interesting hestio's internal conflict could be #it's about being so acutely aware of how shit their lives already are that he knows having a r/s that is frowned upon would just #make things worse #also i am very much hooked by the fact that like. nowadays i keep seeing ship posts about 'killing myself in front of you to change the #trajectory of your life forever' #for teshes its the opposite. hestio is desperately trying to make sure tesilid doesnt off himself #and also its not hestio dying that changes the trajectory of tesilid's life forever it's hestio confessing #and somehow this inflicts more pain on tesilid in the long run #which is extremely funny bc for all the notes that ive written abt teshes hestio has only confessed like umm. checks notes. 3 times #1. drunk (tesilid is not in the room) 2. the world is ending #like if hestio had managed to take this to the grave like he had originally planned then this could have been avoided #but the tragedy is that tesilid lives thru this multiple times so at least ONE time hestio's going to blab and that forever changes things #crying in fic writing being stupidly hard
