The interpretation of Rise Raph as a 'perfect responsible soft boy uwu' is so BORING I'm sorry, Raph is a rowdy adrenaline junkie with anxiety and I won't take this slander any longer

Raph secretly kept an enemy soldier in their actual literal house as a sparring partner. Raph glued his brothers together and dragged them out to fight crime. Raph once asked Leo to punch him in the face to prove he 'takes damage like a boss.' Raph tried to lift a school bus, twice. Raph offered to help his favorite wrestler beat his little brother up. When Leo suggests evacuating Bullhop, Raph says no bc the best defense is a good offense babey. Raph's idea of a 'friendly chat' with April's upstairs neighbor is to put on a black ski mask and go stand menacingly at their door. It takes Raph 10 episodes to conclude that they should MAYBE start training. Raph's plan to get a potentially priceless (and potentially FRAGILE) museum artifact is to punch a car in the middle of a busy street and also cut it in half with his brother still inside.

Raph's never met a problem he wouldn't try to punch in the face and does not know the meaning of the words 'excessive force.' He roughhouses with his bros and drags them out to fight villains and thinks any plan that doesn't involve an all-out brawl is boring and lame. He'll do anything to protect his family from harm and be a hero, but also he eats wet salami off the floor and once single-handedly destroyed a library.

I just adore how, at his core, Rise Raph is such a classic Raph—impulsive and stubborn and caring and passionate. He is a very sweet, strong, honorable guy who has a very powerful sense of personal responsibility... and he is also the exact kind of jock who throws you in the pool at a party without checking if you have your phone in your pocket first.

#rottmnt #rottmnt raph #raph #don't worry then he'll freak out and buy you a new one #anyway! raph rules!!!!! #and i think the movie has made some people interpret him as like the 'responsible mom' character which is a bummer #bc that's really not him at all #like this is not even NEARLY a complete list of raph's shenanigans #he's a hooligan a fool a dumbass (affectionate) #he loves big flashy exciting fights and does not spare a single thought to stealth 90% of the time #he gets distracted on missions taking selfies with pizza pigeons and wrestlers #and gets annoyed in eps like Bug Busters when leo suggests being more cautious #he would die for his brothers but also he's definitely the type to like. walk into their rooms and sit on them for fun #he values responsibility so much but also makes the most batshit decisions ever #and has probably caused the state of new york thousands of dollars in damages #and he's NOT the boys' dad jesus christ #he grows slightly more serious over the course of the series (out of stress :(() #but at his core he's just a kid who loves fighting and being a hero #and i love him so much ok!!!!!!

AO3 is back up but I’m still writing Nimona headcanons

I feel like the main trio are all really bad at taking care of themselves 

Nimona can go a long time without eating drinking or sleeping so it's really easy for her to fall into a pattern of not taking care of herself until she’s sluggish and snappy

At first it was really hard for the boys to distinguish her food withdrawals from her normal chaos 

When they do figure it out they make sure she eats and drinks at least once a day even if it small

It took a minute for her to adapt to this because she views taking care of herself as a hobby

But after a while she realizes that they’re just looking out for her so she goes along with it

Every once and a while Bal gets hyper-fixated on certain projects which causes him to forget to eat and sleep

Nimona once asked Ambrosius why he doesn’t do anything to stop these habits to which he responded “Oh believe me Nim I’ve tried it’s better to just let him get it out of his system”

Nimona still didn’t understand this and tried to force Bal to get up and take care of himself 

Which just ended with Nimona being on the other side of a verbal thrashing and then quickly shoved out of Bal’s workspace

Ambrosius didn’t even bat an eye 

Just walked around Nimona into the room with some food and water and then quickly left him alone

After that Nimona started to leave Bal snacks and pillows in his workshop when he eventually crashed  

(And occasionally carrying him to his room when Ambrosius was too tired to carry him) 

Bal also forgets to charge his arm 

So it’s not uncommon for his arm to die and stay locked in that position 

One time Ambrosius walked into the kitchen to find Bal hunched in an awkward position over his coffee and he didn’t flinch 

Just gave him a straw and a kiss on his head before he left for work

Another time Nimona walked into the living room to find them cuddled on the couch 

And they start their normal rant of “Ew gross get a room” 

To which Ambrosius replied “I would if I could Nim” 

She was quietly informed that Bal fell asleep and his arm died shortly after and Ambrosius has been stuck like this for hours waiting for Bal to wake up

Nimona laughed so hard they almost woke Bal up

They started storing chargers all around the house after that 

So I have a headcanon that I kind of hinted at in my other post 

But I’m fully convinced that Ambrosius' shoulder is fucked after the movie (he also has scars because I said so)

Because no way in hell can this man take a blast like that to his shoulder and walk away perfectly fine 

Nah that man will be doing PT exercises for the rest of his life 

And this dork forgets to do his exercises until he’s literally on the floor writhing in pain

Bal has tried just about everything to get him to remember 

He’ll leave notes around the house, he’ll remind him before he leaves for work, writing it into his workout routine 

Nimona told him “Boss you’re being too soft” and quickly switched tactics 

Now you might be wondering what method Nimona used and that's simple he started blackmailing Ambrosius 

Nimona started to warn Ambrosius “If you don’t do your exercises I’ll tell boss what happened to the last slice of cake” or “I’ll release the video of you singing at the top of your lungs while cleaning the house” 

And the stupid thing is it worked 

Ambrosius always says shit like “I should have left you in that box on the side of the road” to which Nimona responds with “Nah you’d miss me too much”

He also had a bad habit of getting sucked into little projects like trying to rebuild the city and fixing all the brainwashing that's been going on since the institute was created

You know small tasks for one person

And this dork will stay locked in his office until Nimona and Bal drag his overdramatic ass out

He always makes a big deal about it too screaming shit like “Oh please help me the heroes of the realm are kidnapping me an innocent bystander while I was simply doing my job!”

I feel like Bal and Ambrosius have a lot of nicknames for Nimona “Nim” is the most common 

“Hun” and “kid” are used a couple of times but not nearly as often as the weird ones 

Like “tornado” “tsunami” “hurricane” and “forest fire”

And if we're getting really sappy “starlight”

Now if you're wondering where this one came from I’ll tell you 

When Bal and Ambrosius were little beans Bal called Ambrosius “sunshine” 

It was supposed to be ironic but after that he started calling Bal “moonbeam” 

And Ambrosius jokes that Nimona completes their little astronomy shtick 

She pretended to be grossed out and lets Bal hug her and Bal and Ambrosius pretended not to notice the tears on Bals shirt

#nimona 2023 #nimona movie #nimona headcanon #nimona #ballister boldheart #ambrosius goldenloin #ballister x ambrosius #goldenheart #something something sun and moon symbolism #something something stars can be anything #something something freckle constellations #something something found family #i just want you to know I'm typing this with tears in my eyes #this family is so stupid and sappy and chaotic #and I'd die for them #they also cant take care of themselves for shit #I dont know where the natural disaster nicknames came from #it just fits in my head #probably cause they feel very gender neutral #like if someone calls their kid a little tornado #I’m not gonna question the gender #imma think that kid is a menace

[monty-glasses-roxy]

I think it would be kinda funny if Roxy, with no attractions to run and not a lot else to do during the day, keeps getting really bored and showing up in the atrium with random shit that was discontinued years ago.

Like I dunno shows up driving a little train thing that used to drive people around all the different areas of the Plex or something and uses it to get people into areas they don't have a pass for as she runs over the staffbots that take your party passes. Starts her own robot wars thing on the main stage with a bunch of shitty remote controlled toys she found in the basement and taped a bunch of plastic cutlery to for weapons. Rallies a bunch of kids to call Freddy over and the second he pokes his head over the third floor balcony railing she fucking shoots him right in the face with a ball gun.

She does this kind of thing after hours too of course, but sometimes it's just a really slow day and she feels like the manager isn't mad at her enough yet lmao

#manager like: it's been a long week... #when it's only monday. #thing is she has literally nothing else to do #she's meant to entertain and she has no way of doing that other than arcade games and shit #which is bound to get boring eventually #hates golf so she's not playing that and she's banned from fazerblast #so either she goes and hangs out with the toddlers at the daycare (unlikely) watch a movie for the 800000th time in the theatre- #join Chica in her boring ass mazercise and fall over in a yoga class that's too slow for her #OR she can go bowling with Bonnie OR she can just piss the managers off and fuck off behind the scenes #just leaves to some abandoned area to entertain herself instead I guess #but like genuinely. she has so few choices and she's probably bored of all of them #why not spice it up with a remote control crab fight on the main stage? she's BORED!!! #she's got nothing better to do than hijack an old locomotive and start not-so-subtley sneaking people into places they didn't pay to go to! #some of these things don't even make her that much less bored but at least she's got something to do now! #might as well do it now she's got it right? management are gonna yell at her anyway! #choo choo motherfuckers Roxy just flattened a staffbot for shits and giggles! #quickly becoming the animatronic the kids think are so cool and amazing but are also too shy and nervous to approach #cause really who steals a fucking TRAIN?! #anyway. #roxanne wolf #fnaf security breach #WHY NOT PUT THIS IN THE MAIN TAGS ITS FUNNY #flys plex history #I guess? eh whatever close enough

Okay originally I made this as a random draft but APPARENTLY it’s relevant, so: Listen. I know everyone automatically makes Nico the vampire but HEAR ME OUT. He doesn’t have vampire energy. He has werewolf energy (so does Jason but that’s a given). You know who has vampire energy? Will Solace. He’d also be the perfect vampire. He’s a medic. He has convenient regular and question-free access to blood. He is probably randomly covered in blood often anyways. Nobody would suspect him.

#pjo #nico di angelo #will solace #read riordan #readriordan #the sun thing would be a problem though. unless he's one of those vampires that sparkle #in which case again: perfect excuse. he already glows who's to say a child of apollo cant sparkle. they probably can. #maybe he'd have immunity to the burn-in-sun thing as a son of apollo who knows #if he doesnt though it'd probably just be that one line from The Mouse's Fairy movies #(dont want to accidentally cross-tag that series so forgive the vagueness) #yknow the ''I dont do mud'' ''But you're a garden fairy!'' ''I know. Ironic innit?'' #that except an apollo kid about going out in the sun #would you believe this is a like 7 year old strong opinion of mine that i just had lying around that randomly became relevant #apparently read riordan missed the costumes i gave all the protagonists like 6 years ago #cause it did include witch/mummy/and (Doctor) Frankenstein #ive been giving the Argo 2 crew halloween costumes for 7 years now okay #ol' ReadRiordan is behind on their game #''what would solangelo's costumes be'' i could tell you that. i have to answer that question every year. #ive been answering that question for 7 years

theres a 99% chance we’re gonna move so i have to start packing little things now cause it makes the transition easier but i hate it i dont want to

#i know i sound like am immature little kid just pouting and stomping my foot #but i’ve had to move every two years since i was like 14 for so many different reasons #each place ive moved to just got increasingly worse so i think i have the right to pout like a 14 yr old girl #but its just dumb #if i start taking stuff down now itll make it easier to leave cause it wont feel like my space by then #its what ive always done #if i pack weeks ahead of time it just feels like im leaving a hotel or something #but right nows the hard part #im not even over my childhood home/s #i cant talk about those without crying and its been 20 years #i’d just like to stay in one place for awhile #we wont be going far cause me and my sister both have jobs right here but #its still different #im tired of seeing my stuff in boxes im tired of not feeling safe in my own space #it all just makes me so unstable cause i cant plant my roots anywhere #idk maybe its stupid #if everything goes according to plan #we’ll probably be moving a little after memorial day #and all i want to do is lock my door and refuse to let anyone do anything #im still just that little girl that was leaving her childhood bedroom and moving hours away #tbd #i didnt even get to skate today cause its raining #whatever im gonna get in bed and watch movies til i can go to sleep #if ive been bad at responding to msgs or not posting as much . this is why 👍 #any sort of change like this makes me isolate myself like crazyy

watched Lilo and Stitch the other day and a piece of my soul died at the 2$ adoption fee. Getting an animal from the SPCA where I live costs like $500 now :/

#and the SPCA tends to go out of their way to lie about any behaviour problems #the owners of the cat I got off craigslist for $100 were upfront about the fact she's a menace #I signed up for that lol #this is what 22 years of unchecked inflation has done to us #and we're not gonna talk about how I'm comparing US money to CAD money #so that $500 adoption fee up here is probably closer $700 down there #that's assuming SPCAs still function the same in the states #I'm not claiming that it was ever only 2$ in the states 'cause Lilo and Stitch is a cartoon and they could've just thrown out any number #but I feel like it's in the realm of suspended disbelief #'cause I can't even imagine the amount of kids and parents that would've lost it if they went to shelter to get a pet after the movie #expecting the fee to be from 2-20$ only to find it's in the hundreds #so I feel like that's probably what the fee was around (at least in Hawaii) in 2002 #I know inflation is a thing but going from 2$ being believable to approximately 700$ on average in 22 years is *insane* #btw this is also probably why so few people bother adopting #because what's the point if I could get off craigslist or hell even a breeder for cheaper* than what I'll pay at a shelter? #*depending on the breed

I was in college, first week of class, and the professor asked what the closest star to the Earth was and I had NO IDEA. My brain had not yet made the connection that the Sun is a Star. I was flabbergasted. The professor did not shame those of us who did not know - he seemed perfectly aware that there would be people like me in the class who spent their days doodling down the sides of my text books rather than reading them.

But I think about that all the time. This idea that certain things are common knowledge. I’d come out of high school and could name the major periods and movements of art history and many of the most famous artists in each. I obsessively read books about and by the Beat Generation and could tell you all kinds of things about the 1940s, 50s, and 60s that I’d learned through this. But I could not order the planets. I had never considered the Sun was a star. I did not realize that because of the way the moon rotates we never saw one side of it from Earth. I still couldn’t tell you anything about basic biology - as I took environmental science courses instead.

With our little phones in our hands we can quickly cover up our lack of knowledge about many things, thank goodness, but I’ve found that I remember things due to interest or excessive exposure. Did I want to know so much about WW2? No, not really, but one of my friends growing up was really into it - and would recreate battle maps and knew all the major generals and pivotal points of the long conflict. He was always talking about it. And so I still remember a lot of it. I’m sure he remembers more about Surrealist art than he ever expected. He forced me to watch WW2 documentaries and I forced him to watch old art house movies made by Andy Warhol and Salvador Dali.

We just know what we know.

#just rambling tonight #heard a woman making fun of her teenage kid for not knowing who Clint Eastwood was #as if anyone has common media experiences in this day and age #you’ll be hard pressed to find any movie that every teen in a room has seen #she probably doesn’t know who Leonard Cohen is but I heard her humming along to the weird remake playing over the speakers #cause we only know what we know #let’s just all give each other a break

This miraculous movie is the most high budget fan fiction that I would give a solid 3/5 to. I can see all the decisions they made to fit the whole story into one movie, the things they had to ditch because they're too interesting to fit in an hour and a half, the characters they had to flatten and major points they left out for??? Time reasons I guess? But they would have had more time if they dropped the musical numbers that were... not horrible I guess but MLB does not lend itself to a musical.

Letting Adrien learn about his father? His father changing his ways? The reveal between them? Solid fanfiction points. Those are the plot bunnies that inspire fanfiction to begin with. Definitely not better than the original, but in terms of fanfiction, well written and worth consuming but it doesn't really scratch the itch that drives me to fanfiction.

If this were a story published on AO3 I'd probably skip in a dozen times until I came back to read it after ive read the ones that are in my favorite tag just because it doesn't have tags I dislike and it happens to be complete. Then after I read it I'd give it a 3/4 for well developed and wrapped up, but too much mischaracterization and for some reason changing Ladybug's power? Her creating random objects that she can use to defeat the Akuma is way too important for me to endorse her Magic Fix-It Fingers. Also... they didn't have to find the Akuma it was just Punch Until Done?

This was a high-budget fanfiction where the creator clearly likes MLB for the relationships and doesn't care about the world building. Which is cool. Everyone enjoys their favorite things in different ways and that shows in our homages, but for MLB I care more about the word building and character development than the relationships.

But the animation was really pretty.

#the relationships are important parts of the character development #but not THE most important #for me the miraculous are about giving these kids what they need not what they want #chat noir is about freedom not confidence #ladybug is about confidence and creativity #i get cutting the other heroes to avoid too much in one movie #i brows the 'reveal' tag but more for it causing drama not just to fix their love square #so if you think of the mvoie as a visual AO3 story i think it would be that story with lots of kudos and several reviews #that i get around to eventually but probably wouldnt even bookmark #i dont think it was bad #i just think seasons 3-5 leave it in the dust #they should have made a movie for each season

talking to a guy and he’s like “how the fuck do you have all this shit memorized?” my brother in christ i memorized a movie as a kid because i got bored during state tests

#it's not like it was even all that much #''all this shit'' being storylines for different games and some of the story arcs in the world war z book #and like some anime storylines #but i'd finish the state tests early #and i knew it #so for two days leading up to the test i'd just watch whatever movie (it was frozen i was a frozen kid) #and then during the test i'd finish and just stare at the ceiling the remaining time and ''watch'' the movie w soundtrack and backgrounds #and like. even the fucking credits #y'know what add that to the list of ''shit i should probably mention if i ever look into a diagnosis'' #did y'all know tiptoeing is apparently a neurodivergent kid thing? #my sister's two sons have autism (her daughter probably has adhd) and she keeps sharing info on autism and it's like huh. #i had a lot of that. #and i have a brother that didn't get diagnosed til his 20s 'cause he started to crash and burn in college #but he was like. completely nonverbal as a kid for years and they were just like ''oh some kids are like that'' #like i would repeat EVERYTHING if it like. made my mouth feel good? and that's a type of stimming apparently #because my nephew does the exact same thing where he'll hear a word once on a commercial or something #and repeats it over and over with like. same intonation and everything

Christmas movie about a kid who spends the entire movie really trying to be good for santa and everything goes wrong for one reason or another and everything leads to them having a breakdown to Santa or one of the elves maybe about how hard they really tried this year and they just couldn't do it (from their perspective, they failed) and they're so sorry etc etc and Santa drops some wisdom about the effort being meaningful in itself and they did more than they're giving themselves credit for.

#problem child #and the kid lowkey probably has adhd or is blaming themselves for things they are not causing #or its just v easy for others to project that onto the kid #basically a movie about a getting on the good list because they are a good kid #idk feels like a potential tear jerker family film waiting to happen

Peter Jackson on casting Frodo

“Frodo was a very, very important character in the movies. But he’s also a very difficult character to play and to cast. […] We were convinced that Frodo is gonna be an English actor, ’cause we wanted the Hobbits to basically be English as Tolkien really wrote them. So, we went to London and we started auditioning.

We couldn’t think of any actor to play Frodo. We had nobody in mind. We thought it would be unknown English actor, a young kid. We were in London auditioning for about a month and we’ve probably seen three hundred Frodos. There were two or three that were okay, but nothing magical, you know. ’Cause Frodo had to be magical. Every time the casting room door opened and some nervous young actor would come in, we were saying, ‘is this gonna be Frodo?’ And you sort of know within ten seconds that it wasn’t really Frodo. It was a worry, but we were plugging on.

And then our casting director said to us one day, ‘A package’s just come in the mail. It’s from Elijah Wood’. It was a video tape, a VHS tape. I had heard Elijah’s name, but I’ve never seen a film he’d done. I actually had no face for Elijah, I didn’t know how he looked like.

So, we put the video tape in. Elijah was in LA and heard that we were in London and we’re not gonna come to LA. He really wanted to get this role. So, he hired a dialect coach to teach him accent, he’d gone to the local costume-hire, got some cheesy kind of Hobbit costume on. He’d gone into the trees somewhere behind his house with a friend, and he just videotaped his own audition. He didn’t have our script, so he was reading from the book, he was doing Frodo parts from the book.
