#the worst part is the answer is unironically no #yeah #pertaining to this specifically #i talked about it before #the epidemic of kpop stans taking some of the sweetest most normal polite respectful silly guys #and making them out to be fboys #fratboys #redflags #whatever #it’s super super super weird #jaehyun is literally minding his own business 95% of the time and the 5% remaining he’s drawing his own feet to post online be so fr #i noticed how bad this was because people kept doing this to jake too #i’ve seen it a lot with jungkook as well #like normal young men #who have no real red flags (from what i’ve seen/know) #and even then we don’t even know these people personally it’s weird to judge them so negatively #and wtf is up with 17k likes #nctzens hate nct so bad i am a proud nctzen anti #i like nctzens that actually love and respect the entire group #rarer than unicorns btw #i dont even care about solos and single unit stans #as long as they mind their own fucking business #which they never do because of course they don’t #but people who pretend to be ot23 or ot22 ot 20 or whatever the fuck but clearly dislike certain people are just…… the absolute worst

Something I’ve been thinking about lately is that small moment in “Air Turtle” where immediately after the Daves lose yet another game, Leo says how sorry he is and how he’s doing his best as the mascot. This moment is so short but it’s honestly jam-packed with a whole heap of characterization.

His need to apologize for things clearly not his fault - especially when it feels like he messes up the job he was given despite doing the best he can (the phrase “it’s not about you” takes a new meaning when this is one of the lessons to be learned from that - that he is not always solely responsible for things going wrong), his need to save face and make a connection with an older adult man in his life (something he consistently does throughout the series - he’s got a few daddy issues, always collecting potential father figures, it’s no wonder he jumps at the bit to keep rapport), and the way he sounds and looks and the words he chooses really pushes how he is just a kid (“Mr. the Dunk, I’m so sorry”).

Like I know it’s a one off moment that doesn’t truly mean much, but when put against the rest of the series it works really well with the rest of Leo’s established character and helps in solidifying later concepts as well.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rise leo #rottmnt headcanons #am I looking too much into things? almost assuredly yes #I actually appreciate how tim immediately goes ‘it’s not your fault’ as well? like he could’ve just blamed this 15/16 year old but he didn’t #but yeah this moment got to me a little mainly because it made me realize that Leo…DOES take responsibility for things a lot #he messes up a ton yeah but he says sorry at a pretty consistent rate #and y’know thinking about it #THIS IS TINFOIL HAT TERRITORY BE WARNED #he’s mentioned being betrayed by his brothers before - I wonder if it was something as simple as taking the fall for like #breaking something of Splinters or whatever #point is it wouldn’t be out of the ordinary for him to get the full blame for something only partially his fault #or not his fault at all in some cases #like in bug busters where Raph gets mad at Leo for not getting captured with them #(I understand Raph’s mindset here a ton - Raph’s the leader and he’s likely lashing out so I don’t blame the poor kid) #but this plus the moment at the beginning of the movie #where only Leo is reprimanded despite Mikey and Donnie having full autonomy to join the fun pizza stacking #make no mistake this is not at all a diss on everyone else!!! it’s just something I noticed #I think that “it’s not about you” doesn’t just pertain to being arrogant and wanting the spotlight #I think it’s also about how responsibility is meant to be shared #and like #Leo DOES mess up a lot! so he’s honestly probably used to having the blame because it is often at least somewhat warranted #he’s specifically described as being good at apologizing after all #tldr: Leo messes up a lot of the time so he is very used to blame and attention both good and bad #even when the full blame should not be solely on his shoulders

My theory is that Chester and Norris are our Jon and Martin, but when the explosion happened their paired souls/consciousness was shattered into many parallel versions of themselves. Chester and Norris are just one set of many Jons and Martins yeeted out into all the different universes, but in this one they had the misfortune to end up trapped in FR3-D1. Maybe instead of just one 'somewhere else', there are thousands of them. Maybe all the somewhere else fics are correct, each representing a different version of our original Jon and Martin.

#“things were so much better when we overwhelmingly kept trans women out at the door or they wouldn't dare try to show up in the first place” #(this isn't anything against bars or clubs or nightlife as pertains to lgbt people!! #it's the reactionary nostalgia and disregard (or let's be honest—Intentional Longing) for the transmisogyny of those specific scenes) #my posts #transmisogyny

An idle thought, really, but I think it's interesting to see fandom latch on the metaphorical interpretation of things like Laudna's relationship with Delilah as a metaphor for addiction or Imogen's psychic powers as a metaphor for either chronic pain or queerness, but there's much less attachment to or discussion of the characters who explicitly, canonically dealt with exactly those things. By which I mean Scanlan's substance abuse, Veth's alcoholism, and even Ashton's chronic pain (which feels like it was discussed much more before it was confirmed canon, and seems to be brought up mostly just as ship fodder these days). I suppose one could argue the devotion to the metaphorical interpretations lies in the fact that it's an interpretation of canon as opposed to being explicitly so, meaning there's more wiggle room to project a personal interpretation onto it. Explicit canon is more concrete, less malleable to the individual viewer. Still, if we're going to talk about addiction now in a metaphorical sense via Laudna, it leads me to wonder if we will see further discussion of the characters who explicitly dealt with addiction (Veth and Scanlan), as opposed to Laudna's purported allegorical version of it

#take this with a grain of salt because I was not directly involved in the fandom when major things re: veth and scanlan's #substance abuse issues were ongoing for the most part #so if there WAS a wider discussion of this that has happened in fandom I might just not know about it #that said in my experience it has not come up much at all #so even if there was discussion you rarely see it come up in the ongoing reception of the characters #which may just be an effect of WHO those specific characters are #i.e. two consecutive sam pcs (explicitly) vs now a marisha pc (in the metaphorical sense) #because I am familiar with scanlan often being called unfair and veth often being called selfish #but re: laudna many of her decisions (see: killing bor'dor) have the blame shunted onto other characters (orym) to absolve her #of having made those decisions to begin with #neither veth nor scanlan have ever been shown that kind of leniency in the fandom that I know of #particularly as it pertains to their very real struggles with addiction #ANYWAY this is not going into the maintag lol. lmao even #like am I fan of the comparison to addiction? eh. it doesn't quite feel like it fits. like it's not a perfect comparison #but like I'll play ball with it a little I guess since it's been brought up in canon

the fucking whiplash btw when twelve announces they're 2000 years old. ten lived for about six years. eleven lived for more than 1000 years?

#unless they've just lost count or they're just making shit up #but I just??? eleven lived for longer than all the other doctors COMBINED???? #doctor who #dw #the doctor #the twelfth doctor #the eleventh doctor #the tenth doctor #i have questions #the first one of which is: does this even make sense? #listen i knOW there's that truly terrible final episode in eleven's run where they stick around some random town for hundreds and hundreds #of years... and before THAT they had a few hundred down already #i have questions about the doctor and ageing specifically as it pertains to eleven and just being THAT old though #i guess there's a sliiightly bit more acceptance of the idea that so many people around the universe know that exact face #in a sort of *yoooo that's so old they're basically a god (even though they Are Not) kind of way* #but my first question is STILL: DOES THIS EVEN MAKE SENSE? #i KNOW canon is messy but does it???

So. I love this. The way Yuri snickers at Flynn showing his real self. The way he, without hesitation, says "yeah" to the idea that he would die in Flynn's place.

But the most important part of this entire thing, which was changed in the dub, is how Yuri specifically jokes that Flynn is trying to abandon him, and Flynn returns and tells Don he had no intention of abandoning Yuri.

Yuri does not hear this. Flynn knows that. But Flynn uses the exact same term Yuri used earlier, as if it's his answer to Yuri and saying no, I would never abandon you.

For reference:

Personally I just... love the weight of it. How Flynn will say something about Yuri that Yuri won't hear, but he still speaks it out into existence because it's how he really feels.

Just because Yuri won't hear it doesn't mean he won't say it, and in a way that's even more powerful. He's not looking for the credit of saying it. He's not looking to be recognized for saying it. He's not only expressing how he feels about Yuri somewhere that Yuri himself will hear him.

They're just his real, honest feelings, and he'll admit them even if Yuri's not within earshot.

#GTF Vesperia Clips #Fluri #classic Vesperia dub trying to hide all the more detailed intimacy between them tbh #y'all are gonna see it even more when I get around to post the huge posts I'm doing #going through the entire game with the changes they made #and how HEAVILY most of the drastic changes pertain to Flynn and their relationship #like. there's really no reason to change these matching scenes in the dub unless they're doing it on purpose #meanwhile they're the sweetest thing in the original and I'll never get over these scenes being matching scenes #also bc like. this is so important for their dynamic going forward into arc 2 #also partly why I truly believe they'd choose each other over the world in specific contexts #but that's a story for another time LOL. for now just know Flynn has gone on record #to say he would never abandon Yuri right to Don Whitehorse's face #anyway you ever get that feeling of like. when you find out from a friend that #someone said smth nice abt you? but you didn't know they said it? #like you KNOW they're saying nice/good things abt you to other ppl now? that's the vibe I get from this #that he's not just saying it to Yuri's face. he says the important things /to others/ as well #he's not trying to score extra brownie points by using sweet words where he knows Yuri will hear him #to me that's the most honest form of affection. saying your feelings out loud where they won't hear you #Flynn also proved himself before saying it as if the idea was to show not just tell #I think Yuri understands when not joking that Flynn wouldn't abandon him #but Flynn is making sure that not just Yuri knows through his actions but that others know it too #and ultimately Yuri doesn't need to hear it. he can believe it because he can see it #Yuri doesn't need to hear it bc he understands Flynn's feelings without needing to hear it

Hey babes, sorry I've been dead, but I coulda been literally dead if I had not gone.

I didn't hurt myself and we're still figuring things out. I would love to share but I've already forgotten what I've learned. I hope I get more guidance and time for healing and learning on how to lead my life in a better direction than where I was. But that takes time and effort.

I hope to get some rest, get some support, and get it together. But right now, I don't think it's healthy for me to worry about art in the way I do now. I may not express it here, but trying to maintain my art endeavors/projects while there's so much bullshit going on backstage is not helping me. Especially since I'm not even obligated to do so. But trying to force myself to do something I am currently unable to do will just make me feel worse. I'll follow my dreams and passions one day, but I've been putting off the healing process for years.

So I guess it's better to get better now so I can get the ball rolling again. Why drive on a flat tire?

#i was in there for a week and ill continue partial hospitalization for a few weeks #i hope i learn more and i hope i get specific help to my issues. because whay i learned there didnt directly pertain to me #but having structured daily life felt nice. but it wasnt all relaxing because there were still responisibilites on the outside world #tapping on the window or calling me on the phone. chose the best time for a meltdown. i have taxes and credit card bills to take care of #but if i stress about it now ill jsut be going back to the ER and thats no good. the hospital was so cold dude im glad im home with blankets #this is mr octopus again. im glad i broguh hom to work. i went straight to er from work and if i had no plushie with me #i probably would have stayed longer or be even more mentally unstable and distressed. its good to have comfort items #i dont think i want to know ehat if be like without some kind of companion or grounding item with me. i dont want to imagine me without em #its okay to have a little friend with you. i would be so distraught. everyone loved me there #the nurses the patients the residents yhe social workers the students #mr. octopus made them happy because of his big smile and mine too. the people there did not expect the mass amoutns of stress and depression #in this bubbly happy baby witb a happy pink octopus. one of the patients thought it was the meds the happy pills they gave me #no im jsut naturally like this. or artificially like this. i still dont know how to express or understand my feelings #if what im showing is real or not because i know ill be the happiest in the room wherever i go. maybe its a front or a mask #but when im like that kinda hard to know whats really underneath. they always ask me if im okay but i turn to myself #and its nondescript like ive put a blanket over how i really feel. its weird. the bubbly energy is blinding. #words #mr octopus #mental health #doodles

so i have a few questions;

one, is there a ship you don't like? or one you don't understand? (i'm saying this cause, to me at least, you ship a lot of rare pairs.

two, do you have a favorite/least favorite ship or character?

three, your art is awesome, it got me into genshin and makes me reconsider some ships or like some others i haven't before

i hope you never stop cause it means a lot to others, even if it's just me <3

Answering these from the top of my head for quick answers!

1. Ship i don't like? Thomato

2. One i don't understand? Chiscara

3. I dont actively ship everything I draw, but im glad yall were able to discover some ships along the way!

#asks #i do have a long list of ships i dont like #a few are popular pairs that were paired either because two hot men or shove the extra remining girls together #the “lore” for their ships came afterwards #This specifically pertains to popular ships #im way more lenient on rarepairs

I know you enjoyed the game, so I wanted to ask here: which BG3 companions would have which cats as their pets?

We're cooking with gas and putting two hyperfixations into the large hadron collider, eh?

Okay, I can tell you right now that I have several off the top of my head, not only in that would have them as "pets" (or to the extent that Halsin would consider an animal a "pet" which is more of a companion) but that they align from a character personality standpoint:

Astarion - Black and White Alonzo (Vain with courage issues) and - stay with me - The Rum Tum Tugger. Little chaotic shit with a showboat streak who holds a grudge with underlying emotional depth? Astarion. Tugger.

Lae'zel - If she could be persuaded into having a pet, I just can't help but see her with the haughty, disdainful and lonely Cassandra.

Wyll - Munkustrap and Victoria (The protector, the courageous and the loving and the romantic little princess)

Shadowheart - Demeter and Bombalurina (Both gals are both sides of Shadowheart's personality and I feel like she'd get on well with the two of them). She's also a potential Jemima weird girl.

Karlach - I can see Karlach with any of the kittens or adolescents tbh, but Tumblebrutus/Bill Bailey and Etcetera are coming to the forefront of my mind.

Gale - you think I'm going to say Magical Mr. Mistoffelees or maybe Coricopat and Tantomile (though I can absolutely see those), but it's obviously Jennyanydots and/or Jellylorum. Jenny and Jelly are essentially Tara. It makes the most sense. I would even throw Skimbleshanks in there for good measure. Gale is a cat dad - he can have 3+ as a treat.

Minthara - Grizabella (Proud to a fault and indomitable? Minthara. Hurt? Also Minthara. This one just makes a lot of sense to me, particularly if you trace who Grizabella used to be along with who Minthara used to be pre-tadpole and brainwashing.)

Halsin - Deuteronomy (Wise, loving and a commanding presence, Old Deuteronomy belongs to no one and is beloved by all - generally even tempered and protective. Oldest cat with dad lore. He also gets kidnapped, waxes the occasional poetic, and canonically *redacted*)

#i will be taking no questions at this time i am correct #i know at least three specific people whom this will pertain to and this is for you my friends #CATS Musical #jellicles ask because jellicles dare #anonymous #bg3!jaheira would have gus if you care #if you think about these they all make perfect sense (to me) #if you have at all cared where i have went and haven't been keeping up with my main blog i am obsessed with fantasy people rn #but thank you so much anon this question made me so happy #disclaimer - this obviously is not the only interpretation and many characters bleed characteristics in the other #ex astarion could also be Bustopher (aritostcrat) or Demeter (with SA trauma) #etc etc but let me cook

the idea of pairing these guys with others while still having them together is so funny to me. because they are so horrid apart and together they're even WORSE . how do you deal with that

#Jack Kennedy #Dave Miller #DSAF #Dayshift at Freddy's #Davesport #TabbyKat's Playground #Phone Arts #this was gonna be a sketch but i kinda really wanted to make it real. #I HAVE TWO OCS WHO ARE LEGITIMATELY ATTRACTED TO JACK AND DAVE SEPARATELY. it's so funny to me. it's not completely on topic but still #being in a relationship with one of them ? you'll survive i think. #BOTH of them? Good Luck . #I need you guys to know there's a very specific screenshot that pertains to them. im not elaborating unless asked /lh

As an aromantic, it's so hard for me to write canon romance. I still have my very few ships but I ship them in a very aromantic way ykwim? Canon ships make these people kiss romantically, I make them kiss for the bit, the intimacy of being loved that doesn't even slightly pertain to romance, or some secret third reason.

#i have the mic #aromance #aromantic #arospec #fanfiction writing #fanfic writing #writing #im a sonic blog so im talking specifically about tails/zooey rn but this pertains to literally any ship ever btw #they love n care for each other in a way that is too deep to express throigh words so i must use actions #but god forbid they want to date sach other in a romantic sense i might actually throw up if they do that #not tails and zooey i do not like that ship but other characters do that like blaze/amy or wave/amy #rarepair nation rise up🔥🔥
