i feel like people are sleeping on the occam's razor situation of how buckwild it is to outright accuse a guy of being a clone of your friend even if you DO have a lot of circumstantial evidence. there's other options is what im saying. they could just be like. a guy. that's a sensible deduction. you should explore that deduction. ignore my shirt that reads I <3 RED HERRINGS.

i still think odile has the correct theory on lock but she's smart enough to know it needs like... a real smoking gun to be able to bring it up without sounding insane.

anyway. (mirabelle voice) i know its rude to speculate but has anyone else noticed the grieving? they seem to be grieving. does anyone have any thoughts on the grieving? i have some thoughts on the grieving.

#[isabeau voice] am i insane or does sometimes loop talk like they might have killed their whole family. is that just me? just checking. #nille design highly inspired by @kiwibrain's since its the one that imprinted in my mind. liberties taken since i didnt look @ reference #anyway i have a lot more thoughts on this? i guess ill hide them in the tags...? scroll down i suppose. #isat #in stars and time #isat spoilers #in stars and time spoilers #isat act 6 spoilers #isat loop #isat siffrin #isat bonnie #isat nille #isat fanart #in stars and time fanart #doodlebyte #---------------------------------------------------------------------- #anyway the extra thoughts. are literally just my general thoughts on postcanon. (and thus are the context for all of my postcanon doodles!) #which is i think nille joins the party before loop reappears for a start (either from a period of nonexistence or just wandering around) #and that like. i think the party should be able to integrate loop as a completely new person. because they are! the secrecy isn't great but #They and Siffrin shuffle into different ecological niches in the party (eg. i think sif is more squeamish after it all but loop isnt) #and while it's not *exactly* what Loop wanted they get that beggars can't be choosers. and its pretty good #(i am glossing over how i think loop's reappearence drags both them and siffrin into a massive behavioural backslide and is likely a bit #distressing to watch go down. cycle of argument -> lovebombing -> normalcy -> repeat. etc etc. but since they are no longer literally #stewing in the worst pressure cooker of all time they do resolve it via productive conversation on their own time. its fine) #the party well-meaningly tries to deduce things from loop's vagueries and are able to pin down the DEAD FAMILY vibe pretty quickly. #but eventually the question of their prior identity falls by the wayside because well! they're just their friend loop! (also change belief) #as for how The Truth Come Out... this is what i mean by The Isabeau Torment Nexus(tm). which is that i think... isiloop should almost occur #BEFORE isabeau knows who loop is. he's just genuinely charmed by them eventually and tries to close the open end of the polycule #which FREAKS LOOP THE FUCK OUT because thats just too genuinely sick and wrong. and obviously w emotions high its not a great confrontation #ANYWAY told u i had more thoughts. if i were normal itd be a text post but.

Thinking about the Don Suave scene and what it means in terms of LGBTQ+ representation because my brain does nothing if not torment me with random topics to ramble about on the regular.

Anyway, I just wanted to ramble about why I like the scene but to get it out of the way - the scene can very easily be interpreted in so many different ways, and all of them are valid. I personally see it as Leo having at least some attraction to a man. And the following is an explanation of my own interpretation and thoughts on it and what it means especially for Leo’s portrayal in the grand scheme of things.

Long-winded interpretation under the cut!

Now, to start with, it’s important to me that in the scene Leo looks at Don Suave in the very beginning and then for the entirety of the rest of the time the man is on screen, Leo’s eyes are closed. Yet, in the end, he is still visibly enamored with Don Suave, happily cuddling up to him as he’s being carried away.

You can very easily interpret this as Leo being spellbound and that’s honestly super valid and I believe he likely was at least somewhat in the beginning, but considering how fast he looked away and how he never looked again, I personally think it makes more sense to read it as Leo just finding the man attractive, at least somewhat. (For the record, I personally headcanon Rise Leo as bisexual with a heavy preference for men, but I want to be blunt when I say that any interpretation is valid. Literally any. Ace, pan, gay, bi, none of the above or a mixture of something new literally all of it is more than okay and fair. Hell you could even interpret this entire scene as more romantic attraction than physical and it would still work. Anything goes!! Don’t bother people, guys, really.)

The main reason I take this scene to be at the very least LGBTQ+ adjacent isn’t just because of how it’s portrayed, but because of who Leonardo is. Not in terms of Rise of the TMNT, but in terms of the entire Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles™️ franchise.

Leo’s a character who, while changing with each iteration, has still at his core been around for decades upon decades as “the blue one”. One fourth of the team. He’s the one most are going to look at as the Leader, and oftentimes he is the one closest to having the title of Main Character. Not to say the others aren’t just as important, but Leo’s presence in the A plots of basically all TMNT media is often something very main character-esque.

And that’s very, very important to note. Here we have a Main Character of a prolific and decades long-running franchise distributed by a children’s television network. You can play around with his and his brothers’ characters all you like, but there is always going to be challenges to dodge around, especially since this was still in 2018-2019.

For example, you can play around with their designs so long as they’re color coded turtles, but their sexualities? Now that’s tricky.

“But what about Hypno and Warren?” Not main characters and also they’re Rise originals. They have a lot more room to play around with than a character like Leo does. But even talking about main characters in the franchise, you could arguably have an easier time playing around with Donnie or Mikey’s sexualities than Leo or even Raph, as (unfortunately) the former two tend to get more B plots, so they’d likely have had a little more leeway (still not a lot though.)

So, where does this leave us?

It leaves us in a place where outright stating and/or showing undeniable proof of Leo’s attraction to men is very, very difficult. So, workarounds!

Workarounds like the entire Don Suave situation.

To be honest, as left up to interpretation and lowkey and deniable as it is, this whole scene means a lot to me because of who Leo is as a character. It’s just nice when we get so see even the bare bones of representation with characters that have been such a large part of pop culture for decades, y’know? Even if more would be so much nicer, this is better than I thought we’d ever get for these boys.

And, again, literally nothing I’ve said is the only way to interpret it, I’m more than happy when people interpret media on their own honestly, it’s just something I’ve been thinking of lately and I was wondering if others felt the same way.

Whatever you think when you interpret this scene or Rise Leo as a whole, I just thought this would be interesting to think about, even if it was ramble-y, haha.

about volga

hes mute (autism),

loooves to draw and make paint out of questionably safe materials (autism),

really into woodcraft, mostly children toys and masks (autism)

and loves their dad very very much.

they're a bit of a rebel teenager stereotype with an UNEXPECTED TWIST where volga actually respects his elders and is a big part of his community. volga is also a furry and his super-mysterious-vigilante mask is their fursona called the bullsparrow (all rights preserved).

so yeah, volga is a certified cool guy of the young generation of khans because they're mysterious (mute) and potray themselves in an unconventional way (furry).

i kinda got too much into the jacket i forgot i had to design a character 😭 but i think its great. also the handprint on the back is bleached out by volga and is a handprint of his dad, because nicodemus loves to pat his son on the back and volga is very sentimental about it.

#fnv #fallout #fallout new vegas #great khans #oc: volga #also hes a bit of a scrawny guy and everyone around them always question whether or not theyre actually nico's child #they ARE #they just took after another parent because all the volchiks look like each other. its the memo #a bit of a silly take on how would khans' symbol evolve #but i still like the final design

Title: The Geriatric Geodian

Name: Graham

Age: ???

Occupation: New Sequencer (Probably... no one's ever seen him do any actual work)

Main Skills: Dreaded, Persuasive

Main Quirks: Ruthless, Heartless

-Nobody knows how long Graham has been on Grand Geode. He's simply always been there.

-Most Dreaded Man in Zelo's Town. Not because he's scary, but because he's absolutely exhausting and unpleasant to deal with.

-Has been around for seemingly every historical event, and always has the most rank take on it.

-Not even dawnpilled, just believes in the Dawn Machine's goals.

-Spends his days sitting on his porch in Zelo's Town and judging you personally.

-Once had a companion, who's since moved on to the Tomb Colonies. If you try to express sympathy at his loss he'll call you a sentimental ninny and hobble off. His companion is probably wreaking equal havoc in the Tomb Colonies.

-Has personally victimised each and every sequencer on Grand Geode at least once. (stories welcome)

Graham has been Roberts' nemesis on the Geode since the 70s. Roberts enters every encounter swearing he'll put the old man in his place. He usually ends up apologising and assuring him that of course he'll ensure that the zailors stay off of his lawn in the future. He then spends the next several hours after the encounter kicking himself for it. He's personally repaired Graham's roof at least twice. He tried to suggest delegating this task to another officer, but was immediately insulted and told "not to faff about and get up on that ladder." Roberts was utterly furious after the fact that he actually did it.

#fallen london #my art #new sequencer just dropped #based on a story of freddie's great uncle so thank you for that #anyway i love this terrible terrible man #the commodore finds all of this absolutely hilarious by the way #that's why it's been going on for so long #absolutely rancid guy #fully believes in bringing back child labour because their tiny hands are great for fiddling with the dawn machine's gears #honestly he might have ego death powers of his own #because he just seems to always get his way #and roberts has no idea how it keeps happening but suddenly he's doing whatever stupid thing graham is whinging about #he's probably only around the dawn machine because game respects game #anyway if any of your guys want to 'yes and' on their oc's terrible time with this man please have at it #graham

I have a groundbreaking concept.

A wedding episode/story where nothing unusual goes wrong (or even NEARLY goes wrong) and the audience and characters both just get to enjoy this big event without it going off the rails at any point.

#this is not inspired by any particular case just by my general grumpiness with the way Wedding Episodes seem to pan out #i don't WANT something to go dramatically wrong! i don't want the wedding to be called off or end up cobbled together out of the wreckage! #this should be a great opportunity to show your characters' bonds and love for each other--both in the pairing and the community around the #also i just hate seeing people's hard work and plans wrecked and do you know how much work goes into a wedding?? #i WANT to see the dress and the cake and the flowers and the reception that they worked so hard on actually come to fruition #but probably most of all and especially. weddings ARE supposed to be the start of a Happily Ever After and if you've done your job right #then the characters getting married should have MERITED that #the plot can continue after sure. but i want them to get One Nice Day for the start of their new life. marriage deserves celebration #and domesticity! marriage deserves the domesticity of an episode where everyone successfully enjoys a really nice party after the wedding!

Due to the nature of the Whump Sequel, it's unfortunate that I can't have a moment where a drugged-to-the-gills Dipper blearily compliments Bill. A thing where he doesn't recognize him and when Bill informs him they're married he goes 'oh shit..... wow '😳Cute moments like that just won't fit, sadly.

#writing is hard #In my head I'm picturing those videos after surgery where the patient blearily hits on their significant other #But in Dipper's case it'd be more getting awkward and shy around Bill then ASTONISHED when it turns out they're together #These are just thoughts that I think #Not all of them are good or wise #In other news ran across Lonely Island's Spring Break Anthem and immediately went 'This is how Familiar Bill do' #100% Party Energy with just. Random interjections of Happy Monogamy #All the other demons just kind of smile awkwardly #Way to throw off the mood man. That human's really gotten to you #Also I made cupcakes yesterday and they're pretty great

Okay okay okay okay. And hear me out. I’m going to lay out the evidence and you’re all going to correct me

tubbo politely critiqued bbh’s party set up for several minutes (no decorations??)

tubbo tried to give suggestions on how to liven the place up (there was a lot of talk about bunting which bbh completely brushed off)

tubbo stated several times that he was excited to be attending a party (no one has invited him to a party in ages!)

tubbo felt strongly about dressing in an appropriate formal skin for the event (taking time to weigh his options and emphasize that some skins are too casual for a party like this)

tubbo made certain to prepare a gift for the host (he gave some concerns about appearances and rudeness)

tubbo keeps up with the events of parties he didn’t attend (read about the red banquet in the Dream SMP Times, knew enough to discuss it with bbh)

I think it’s abundantly clear that tubbo cares about throwing good parties and being a good guest and keeping up to date with the parties he can’t attend. 

I think. President Underscore. was a socialite. 

#all i'm saying is that new l'manberg had precarious political footing and depended heavily on the goodwill of its neighbors #all i'm saying is that tubbo is the guy you put in charge of planning a festival to showcase a nation's prosperity #all i'm saying is that parties are a great way to get important people in one place and in a good mood #also maybe something about ranboo wearing tailored suits and coming to new l'manberg for ? social reasons? #also maybe something about tubbo commissioning the mansion with huge rooms and a grand staircase and a stunning chandelier #like on some level you could read that as wanting somewhere impressive that he could host people #<-- I'm being insane #I just think he's a fancy party enjoying lad. that's the post. that's all. #pebble speaks #tubblogging #all of this is filthy revisionist history from someone who wasn't around in the nlm era

Matt did not intend to mentally time travel back to the past. He's not even sure how it happened. He dimly recalls finding some sort of weird... crystal thing? So maybe that has something to do with it? Or maybe it has nothing to do with it? He doesn't know. If there's one thing all his time out in space has proven, it's that sometimes weird shit happens that he simply cannot explain. He has made his peace with this (even though it still drives Pidge insane).

All he knows is that one day, he wakes up and he can barely see. This turns out to be because he is back in his sixteen year old body somehow, so he still needs glasses. It looks like he was somehow sent back to when he'd just enrolled at the Galaxy Garrison. Which is... weird. It didn't really hit him how much he'd changed until he found himself in his past self's body.

Okay. This is fine. He can work with this. He can't stop Kerberos from happening, but he can definitely be prepared for it. First things first is getting his ass (back?) into shape. If he does it now, he can avoid the training from hell that Ozar and Olia will eventually put him through. He'll also have to make sure to stay on top of all of his classes so he's still selected to go on the Kerberos mission. That's fine. He can listen to audiobooks while he trains.

Also he should probably take some piloting classes. He's going to need that knowledge eventually. Building up muscle memory will be important later.

Also maybe he should befriend Keith while he's at it. This isn't like. a requirement or anything, he just thinks it would be nice. He really started to like the guy back when they were running joint missions together with the rebel and the Blade. Maybe it can even help assuage this weird out of place feeling he has all the time now, that makes him feel like he's some kind of alien on his own home planet.

And while he's at it, he might as well get his eyes fixed early. It feels weird to have to use glasses again after all these years. Actually having short hair feels weird too? That's easy enough. He'll just stop getting his hair cut.

...also uh. why is Pidge looking at him like that.

#matt just. failing to recognize how weird this all seems from an outside POV #especially to Pidge and his mom who only see him when he comes to visit from the dorms #sam and colleen just assume he's picked up some new interests at school... but it is a little weird yes #matt: great! I'm in shape now and I know how to fight. now I can avoid training from hell #(matt when he actually gets thrown into the arena this go around: ...wait a fucking second) #accidental paladin matt au

i think i am going to make a pay what you want digital zine this year for people who want to get into making little artist alley knick knacks like keychains and stickers and enamel pins, cuz i get a lot of asks about that and i think it would be nice to put my design skills to the test and have it all in one place! that being said, what kind of questions do y'all have about this stuff that you would want answered? everything from packaging to shipping to the products themselves, what would you guys want in there? keep in mind i have only sold on etsy myself and a couple craft shows, so i can't give much advise about personal storefronts.

please put them in the replies on this post so it's all in one place!

#not art #etsy #enamel pins #stickers #keychains #zine #i will probably put my suppliers in it for everything but enamel pins but there's a whole laundry list of reasons #why people dont give up their pin manus and its all very good reasons i am sorry to report #and i say that as a collector who loves pins and wants more pins in the world #HOWEVER i will be giving as many resources as i can to put people down the right path at least!! #that being said you might not Want to just use manufacturers handed blindly to you :') so i will be including pros and cons #of the suppliers i Do give as well. sometimes a manu is great for one person and terrible for another and both experiences are valid #it will be pay what you want so you can poke around for free if you're just curious #but if you do go into business and get sales please consider swinging back around and putting a few bucks in my tip jar #for sharing copious amounts of time and research in one little place for you #not to mention all the time its gonna take for me to compile this together in a zine wjbhdfsbhgjdfg #it will be a fun project though :) something new i've never done before
