#so i can stack them

[turtleblogatlast]

One of the earliest examples of Leo’s “I’ll do my own thing to accomplish our goal without discussing it with my team first” is in episode one. It’s super, super quick, and ultimately inconsequential, but it subtly sets up a great precedent that I think is very interesting.

When the boys need to grab the medallion from Splinter without Splinter noticing, Raph, Mikey, and Donnie huddle together with Raph taking the lead in trying to devise a plan to get the mystic device. Meanwhile, Leo slinks away and grabs the device by clocking the situation (by knowing his father well enough to predict his actions - something he does with each family member multiple times in the series) and making a move on his own.

It works out perfectly fine, and is ultimately the best move, and it’s honestly okay that he didn’t consult everyone for something so small when it’s such a non issue to get it, but it nicely sets up how this tends to go in the series, including how it goes in the movie.

To be honest episode one is actually really good at setting up a lot of things for each character in the long run, this is just one example that caught my attention, as small and unassuming as it is.

#rottmnt #rottmnt leo #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #im just ranting at this point feel free to ignore me I’m tired lol #anyway #Leo constantly just goes off and does his own thing #and yeah honestly his own thing often works??? but he alienates his brothers/team in the process #BUT also this isn’t necessarily a one way street #when Leo DOES try to consult his brothers or give his thoughts on matters he’s not really taken seriously #best example here is bug busters where he CONSTANTLY makes his worries and suspicions known only to have them ignored #so it’s almost understandable that he doesn’t often open up about his thought process when it’s easier to just do it #than to try and fail to justify it #after all it almost always works out for him when he does so why not? #and then the movie happens #and that line of thinking doesn’t quite hold up does it? #BUT ON ANOTHER NOTE #like I said episode one is super good at setting characters up #from showing off Donnie’s preference for tech vs magic/mystic #from showing Mikey’s innate talent for mysticism #from showing Raph’s anxieties and how easily they can stack up #there’s more but I’d have to do a closer deep dive on the ep and man am I tired #so off the head rambles it is for now #sorry everyone for my constant spam of Too Many Words into things that are prob Not That Deep #it’s honestly just fun haha #EDIT: bc I saw someone mention it! yeah all the boys have communication issues through the series and it’s super interesting and realistic #Leo in particular stands out to me here because his communication issues are a constant theme that pop up much more often #but each of them experiences this in some form

First Reds Ren’s enderman eyes idea by @dailyrendog

#double life smp #rendog #bigbst4tz2 #more like BigB stacked! Look he said he was the muscle so im making him buff. Ren can be buff too. They arm wrestle to settle arguements #I like to think after couples therapy Ren starts smothering BigB with affection. Cookie socks and spending hours fixing his sweater after #the creeper explosion. Alas I enjoy secret soulmates too much so I still wanna see the break up #the colours are wack but i'll change them at a later date. now i gotta watch the latest session :DD #my art

Me: 'Hmm, do I draw hiccup too short? Like, I know canonically he's described as small and scrawny, but am i overexaggerating this? Fishlegs is 4'10 maybe i should put hiccup a bit closer to that, i dont want it to seem way out of place.......' Gustav Larson:

#why he so smallllllllllllllll #like i measured #snotlout is somewhere around 5'3/161 cm #using him as a reference gustav is like. 3'3/91cm #had anyone who worked on Rob/Dob *met* a 12 year old ya think? #or had they only seen babies and had to model gustav like ''oo ahh 12 thats like. 2 babies stacked right? ...yea its good we'll do that'' #desperately need to introduce him to the Trio #they can feel tall for once #They can see how everyone else feels around them #httyd books #httyd #how to train your dragon movies #how to train your dragon

I love your koppai gang wraith and I thought it be silly if they disguised and had little stick-together tubes on their backpacks.,

OWAH YEAAAAAGH I LOVE THIS !! the friendship tubes ... gotta stick 2gether ... ough i love the little details w their hair & eyes & everythin. just Slightly off (took me a minute to notice this but the shapes on their suits r the shapes of their cores omg ...) love this so so much thank you

Speaking of Shimazaki, I learned a lot about myself this week making these terrible memes so I could drop them in the discord chat as I made my friends watch MP100. What I learned was, I have a terrible sense of humor (actually I already knew that, I just didn't realize it was this bad) and that the only thing I enjoy more than watching Shimazaki kick ass, is Shimazaki getting his ass kicked. (I'll have more of these for next week when we get to Serizawa's stuff! Sorry!)

#mp100 #mob psycho 100 #shimazaki ryo #shimazaki ryou #sorry for my terrible humor and my outdated memes #ryou shimazaki #ryo shimazaki #i have to tag every spelling because i won't remember which one i used #personal #jade's blorbos #mp100 spoilers #also the irony is not lost on about how bad i am at image descriptions on a post about a blind man i'm trying my best #img desc in alt text #long post #really though if anyone has any constructive feedback on how i can get better at image descriptions #please tell me! #i probably need to take a writing class or something i am SO bad at words #what i specifically arranged these in the least annoying way possible so it wouldn't make the post too long #and it changed it to them stacked on over the other #i'm sorry i don't know why

getting more pissed off the more i keep seeing those photos of the actress playing joan on set of the bob biopic because WHY do they have her dressed as if she’s a clone of bob. it doesn’t make any fucking sense at all when did she ever dress like that i don’t think she ever did. and i know it’s only a few photos from like one day of them shooting this thing i’m sure new things will come to be and we’ll see some different costume choices but for now What the hell was that

#guys i really want to have hope for this movie to be not total garbage but its hard . its really hard #i already can’t stand biopics and any biopic about bob is never going to really get down to the bones like id want it to #so unfortunately the odds are stacked against them. for me at least #i like timothee though i do think he’s a good actor. maybe he can pull through

Sj2 au where bugs didn't come back for MONTHS

#I'm just thinking of all the baffy angst possiblities tbh #just daffy initially thinking bugs will come back sooner or later and it's only a matter of a few days #And then days pass on and the paranoia seeds are being sown in his mind #as more and more time goes on its dawning on him that there *is* a possibility bugs might never come back #the first time he's having doubts he mentally (or physically) slaps himself in the face #because there's NO possible WAY that bugs can just vanish like that right??!! #the next time he starts feeling bad because he's looking around and bugs. is. not. anywhere. #he hesitantly will go up to the poster stack pinned to that tree (just because he wanted and absolutely no other reason at ALL) #and he'll start pulling off the posters bc OBVIOUSLY he's just messing around and being lOoneY and it's definitely not a silent plea #for bugs to come back #A month and a half passes and he starts PANICKING #Too much time has passed with not much happening and the Burrow's still empty and the furniture's collecting dust #and there are cobwebs in the corners #and it's all too much because bugs loves cleaning but he's not here and his burrow is clearly as affected as daffy is #because daff's pretty sure cobwebs are forming in his heart too #I could write paragraphs about this it's so interesting #I'm so unwella about them #bugs bunny #bugs x daffy #baffy #daffy duck

"dead" vs "gone"

the relentless UD/Henry-coding of the word "gone" (+ a bonus implication for Max)

chewing on how often El says the word "gone" where you would expect "dead":

where could she have gotten that?

I promise the length of this post is mainly due to screenshots

so did El just not learn the word for death til she got older? no, because this predates the Henry "gone" line:

so she knew "dead" in '79. and those lab kids are obviously super dead, so she must understand Henry's "gone" to mean something other than deceased.

having no memory of this, El goes on to use almost exclusively "gone" in the first couple seasons. but she says "dead" too, especially later on. as if they're a tight venn diagram, but not a circle.

we've got "Mama is dead" and two "Papa is dead"s, which is pretty neato. the first two are false and the third one is true in that she's referring to Brenner but... what do you want to bet that it's also false in the sense that her biological papa is alive and closer than we th[gunshot]

other times I can find her speaking any form of the word:

love the combo in the Papa one. Henry's not dead but if only Papa would've let him go he would be gone!

so chronologically:

mama is dead

barb is gone

mother is gone

sara is gone

papa is gone

papa is dead

so many dead

they are going to die

papa is dead

once she switches from "Papa is gone" to "Papa is dead" in season 2, she's never said gone again, so far, but we have a season left. I would put money on somebody, probably her, saying that Henry is "dead and gone" by the end of 5.

I also want to talk about the way literally everybody else uses the word "gone"

SO MANY of the times the word is "gone" is used on ST, especially as an adjective, we know that person's circumstances to have something to do with the lab/the UD/Henry - even when the speaker doesn't, and is merely using it to mean "dead" or "away".

an example? I can find you one or two:

and with that in mind, let's look again at Max's final words:

if you needed proof that "dead" and "gone" are two different things, they had Max say both "I don't wanna die" AND "I don't wanna go."

Lucas, with her in the natural, spoke to the dying. El, with her in the supernatural, spoke to the going.

El's line isn't referring to stopping Max from dying, which we already know she did. El promised she's not going. as a separate thing. :)

#can I go five minutes without stumbling on eleanor creel crumbs #is there even anyone left who thinks Max might not be okay #truly like half of instances of the word gone on ST can be linked to a Strange connotation even if the speaker doesn't know so #givehimthemedicine analysis #mine #analysis #eleven #I'm so sorry if this stacks the images instead of gridding them

[unforth]

I know the Musk "trillion people means more Mozarts" thing is stupid as fuck but I just saw a prominent blogger reply to it by saying anyone has the ability to be a Mozart and I'm sorry but "talent doesn't exist" discourse has officially gone too far, and I say that as someone who hates the word "talent" and has replaced it almost entirely with the word "skill" in my vocabulary.

Not everyone is a prodigy. Yes, prodigies get lost because they lack opportunity, but that still doesn't mean everyone is a prodigy. If everyone WAS then everyone with enough wealth and opportunity WOULD be and like. I'm sorry, have you SEEN what a fucking moron Elon Musk actually is?

#unforth rambles #sorry but i saw someone being wrong on the internet #maybe people who dont know much about music just dont realize how utterly fucking unfathomable #mozarts level of talent and yes i mean talent actually was #plus side the dumbass who daid it is a popular blogger i already have blocked #unfortunately this was them in the reblog chain not as op #i took music lessons for 4 years til i was 8 and look i had the opportunity and resources and surprise im not mozart #and same for dance and science and math and history and singing and and and #i had lots of opportunities and was a prodigy at none of them #there is no amount of practice that can make someone a prodigy thats like literally the point of the play amadeus #ask salieri how well working so hard for so long made him stack up against mozart
