#something about his demeanor

[turtleblogatlast]

Something I like about Leo is that he’s honestly really chill? It’s easy to remember the moments where he’s being obnoxious or excitable but I feel like most of the time he’s incredibly “go with the flow” and has an overall affable demeanor.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rise leo #Genuinely speaking I feel like said demeanor is incredibly useful for when he has to charm and/or persuade people into listening to him #I have a whole post talking about Leo’s charm and how he consistently gets people to hear him out even if he’s annoyed or upset them #like they’ll still listen to what he has to say in full #his charisma stat is real and utilized quite often in this series I swear he’s not just a loser cringeboy all the time 😭 #if he wants to persuade and/or charm then he honestly sooo often does #me listing the 400th reason why Leo grows up to be the worlds best ninja and a good 365 of those reasons are Leo’s various subterfuge skill #Like most episodes where he’s not the main focus (and even many where he is) #he’s a voice of reason who notices things quickly and is often the one taking point to talk down situations #something interesting I found between Leo and Mikey is that #Mikey tells people what they need to hear #Leo tells people what they want to hear #not only out of his own agenda either #when bullhop was wrecking their home leo was the one that negotiated to make the situation go smoother #even if he would have rather bullhop left #meanwhile Mikey is the one who bluntly tells things as it is #small character moment that means a lot to me #Mikey is an honest boy who is upfront about his feelings #Leo prefers to let people make their own decisions he wants them to through steering the convo in that direction #but he is easily cowed by guilt #regardless leo is a people person - he knows how to talk to them and how to manipulate/persuade #and I like that his bros know this and often push him forward to do the talking if they wanna charm someone into doing what they want #I think Leo’s hope speeches are also an example of this - he’s saying what people really want to hear (and often it’s ALSO what they NEED) #the further the series goes on the higher Leo’s inner stress rises and he just keeps that chill aura anyway #there’s a reason!!! he wanted to go to a SPA so badly!! #literally the first thing he does when he gets in is rest #no joke meditation would do him good? like- it’s a Leo thing and I genuinely think rise leo would be no different here

really love characters who have varied panic responses. kirk stating himself that he does not panic outright, externally, not in high-stress dangerous situations, but instead becomes tense and level like a wound string, on-guard: mostly because his role as captain necessitates that he maintain level rationality even when facing potential death as his training as 'the guy who tells you what to do when shit hits the fan' requires, but also because his childhood experiences taught him early that drowning in the desperate haziness of panic won't help you survive. especially as kirk already follows his intuition so deeply. he learned to grasp and contort the feeling. spock is the main person who represses his emotions, of course, but kirk does it to those deep-set, personal ones (this includes how he doesn't reveal anything truly personal about himself willingly 90% of the time, only what others already know/shallow anecdotes) in a much more subtle way that's really interesting to me. certified expert at avoiding the subject as long as he isnt caught out on the lie. professional bluffer.

in terms of past or parents we dont know much!!! hes known as the heart-on-his-sleeve guy!!! like yes he yells, he gets irritated, excited, hes a whirlwind of quick-thinking and plans and intuition, he goes out of his way to connect with his crew and shows it, when he puts on a little act or bluff he puts his heart into it and clearly enjoys the dramatics so much, at times he wears his heart on his sleeve, he laughs openly and is honest to spock about what he means to him, he's very sun-coded to me in a burning, passionate way, always intertwined with the stars and seeking them out, but when it comes to genuine deep-set turmoil? we dont actually know all that much about him??? hes so full of emotion and character (i love fics where spock characterises jim's mind/bond as a whirl of colour and sensations, hes a quick thinker!!! intuitive!! lively!!!) and yet its still so outwardly surface level. tarsus iv gets mentioned like twice? so especially here where kirk gets briefly jumpscared by the creature, because like:

its subtle but his eyes. his eyesss!!!!! kirk commands with his emotions but there's always some sort of level of control to it, or he transforms them into something that spurs on others or uses them to ascertain a goal: seeing unguarded fear/distress in his eyes even if its faint and brief (in this instance) makes me go insane every single time. like!!! its such a small moment!!! he isnt even panicking!!! really, he just got jumpscared!!! its insignificant!!!!!!! but seeing a two-second flash of actual, naked apprehension is just...oughhh,,,,,,,,,

oh god, and dont even get me started on the galileo seven episode where he assumes a tense level-headedness throughout the whole thing, irritated and apprehensive but not panicking, making sure he maintains intelligent rationality, even when he has to leave them behind, but when spock and the crew are confirmed safe and the bridge is occupied the camera pans to him and his eyes look like they're fucking watering and he's so achingly relieved. don't even talk to me. im. fuck.

he shows so so much but at the same time reveals so little.

#just had to write something about this because i loveeee seeing cool characters in distress. sorry but i need to see that boy PANICKING #im only on season 1 still so i dont know if there is a point where kirk openly seriously panics in the typical way #in high stress situations hes guarded but controlled #seeing him genuinely lose his nerve and start panicking would make me ouuughghgughg #like if he starts actually hyperventilating for kirk you know somethings so wronggg #but no yeah even if spock is injured or kirk is concerned about him he still shows that in the tense guarded high strung demeanor #same with spock really - his tone becomes tense and he uses jims name and its subtle but AAACKKK #i love the note of desperation being logical. that one episode is such a good exploration of spocks characer #i just think its interesting. to me it reads not only of kirks headstrong nature but also of his experience on taurus iv #not equipped for rambling #star trek tos #star trek #james kirk #jim kirk #captain kirk #kirk tos #hope this is right because im only just coming to the end of season 1 so #i love kirk so much though i cant even #hoping so so much ive interpreted him well #and that this makes sense. this is a ramble to the max. #he draws people into his orbit hes lively hes intelligent hes a burning whirl of passion and arhrthhhh

now that i think of it i always draw young hijikata for his birthday

#gintama #gintama fanart #銀魂 #my art tag now bish #gntm #gintama hijikata #hijikata toushirou #土方十四郎 #while im not the biggest toshi fan i love his backstory #theres a mingling sense of sadness to it thats different from gintoki’s (foil or not) #just like gintoki he cant bear to lose people he cares about but its developed earlier than gin’s #its just as fleeting but theres a current of gradual loss to it amidst the calm instead of the progressive looming threat that hangs over #gintoki’s predicament #it happens slowly and the world goes on its course uncaring and hes the one grasping at straws keeping control #also contributes to his overly serious demeanor as an adult too #the world is uncaring to him and prob thinks negatively of him in some way but he pushes on w ghosts on his back #this guy really has something going on but all it did was giving him the v-line bangs lmao #guardian spirit arc is so peak comedy in a lot of ways tbh

I’m about to go back and clip every single radio message from Daniel’s career where he says, “understood” so people stop wringing their hands about his Q2 radio.

It’s time to reclaim “understood” back from the McLaren era, folks. The only time he stops yapping is in the car.

#daniel ricciardo #dr3 #it’s literally his go to response about everything unless he does something spectacular #yeah he said it a lot at McLaren but what was more important about that time #was his demeanor after sessions #it’s literally night and day now

aaron hotchner top five autism moments

“its a dog” lmaoo “maybe a dad knows” my ASS thats the autism babe

any time he stims. especially in eps like psychodrama or ashes and dust

wearing a whole ass suit no matter where they are. especially when the others complain about the heat like in a thousand words

“where are my clothes please” frazzled and out of it and being vulnerable in a new place without anyone he knows without his suit without any of the usual things that can ground him. still unerringly polite but his voice is raised and he’s growing louder and louder bc he’s upset (not angry) and there’s too much happening at once that he isn’t in control of

in revelations when reid calls him a narcissist and he immediately leaves the room and starts leafing through the bible while he asks everyone what his worst quality is. like yes it’s a little bit self deprecating but it’s mostly a genuine, practical question—even while his hands shake. he distantly knows that he’s making everyone else uncomfortable with that question but he has to ask so he can be sure he’s on the right track and he can’t waste time trying to make it easier for them to understand that

there are so many more that im probably missing but these are the ones i can think of atm. @eldrai would be a better person to ask

#his entire demeanor. perpetually neutral face. carefully curated tone. #the way he understands reid and garcia more than anyone else #the way he can handle pretty much any situation as long as a few basic conditions are met—and when theyre not he doesnt know what to do #his unique self-inflicted isolation from others stemming from a childhood where he grew accustomed to people not understanding #his unspoken but firm rules the others dont even realize are in place until somethings wrong (like his office door being open) #a little bit of everything about him #asks #aaron hotchner

fr is he, you know.............................................repeatedly described as being Impersonable and Lacking Charm and Pedantic and confused / bothered by things he supposedly shouldn't be while inspiring confusion / botherment in others in ways he supposedly shouldn't and like 99.9% of the grief he's given is over All That while he's just sitting or standing there rather than the like intimidatingly efficient hitman georg thing he has going on. which is in fact The Skill That Makes Him Useful Despite It All and also perhaps the least foothold in interactions because [worried he can & may kill you] affords power when otherwise just being the weird guy nobody likes(tm)

bonus mordecai balling

#lackadaisy #not exactly Necessarily intentional but like oh you don't say #something something liking patterns & order; though that overlaps w/the like fastidiousness that's just tied to backstory #but that even when picking up that particular trait he was apparently always Peculiar in the deemed Not Personable Way #like oh you don't say #can't really even truly hone in on 9000 murders/day when like. everyone's blowing people away out here. ya gotta #or certainly other people are doing it too lol. mordecai's Mostly differentiated from anyone else's hitmanning by demeanor/affect #and that demeanor/affect has everyone going sicko mode antagonizing him while he's decidedly just sitting there #like oh you don't say....epic mood re: the [how would mordecai approach being tasked with infant childcare] joke #held a baby once maybe twice and both times an exercise in simply like ah christ don't drop this thing countdown to passing it along #great minicomic lmao found in the uhh. gallery under....mini comics; penultimate one w/the baby cat jimmy carter as pictured as thumbnail #supporting his mystery contributions too....gotta be for real abt mitzi not shooting anyone but sure he may have noscoped atlas #though maybe also he did not; but we know they have some secret concerning atlas; even probably involving his death.... #vaguely wondering if atlas got whatever warning about [mystery thorn in marigold's side] as asa sweet mentions over that brunch #and perhaps would have chosen to back out of the business but mitzi was not about that & would arrange a Murder to inherit lackadaisy.... #but mordecai would have to have some reason to go along with that. Maybe as an out for working for atlas forever; but now he's at marigold #not exactly that different yet [themes re: The Other Paths Are Closed To You Forever for everyone out here] #while it might also be true that he left for marigold to try to figure out what's going on over there from the inside; as suggested.... #and whatever he's got going on he's Very Motivated about it as per the most recent comic pages. bold moves #anyways another accidentally autistic cat out here. for april. always a classic lol fr everyone leave him alone or else shoot at him yknow #i do support the mordecai & the savoys dream team there. reiterating i think nicodeme espesh could/should be the like surprise bestie & etc

So.. it got confirmed that sampo is a masked fool. I already had a strong feeling about it since the very beginning but it still feels strange to see it get confirmed.

#he was so obviously a masked fool with the way his demeanor was #plus the cryptic message when we reach the end of jarilo-VI arc #but it still feels insane #Giovanni calling him brother sampo was really something #He also sounded a little serious about his way of thinking in the memory bubble #sampo koski #hsr sampo #hsr 1.4 spoiler alert #hsr #honkai starrail #honkai star rail

sometimes I'm like "why am I still upset about something that happened when I was a kid/teenager. its been ages" and then remember that my parents are still upset about their childhoods and they're 60

#sky speaks #when the developmental years are developmental 😥 #was accidentally vulnerable about something and betrayed my cool demeanor to my brother and his wife

I’m not even joking, no one, and I mean NO ONE. Talks more about Charles Leclerc than Max Emilian Verstappen. Literally he can challenge the whole of Italy with his eagerness to be close to Charles. So if one is to belong to the other. You know Max would run at Charles command.

#period #u can tell in Max whole demeanor how excited he is around Charles #like he’s fulfilling something that been brewing in him forever #like I did it have a chance before #I could do nothing about his opinion #but maybe now is my chance #maybe #just maybe #and that tiny percentage is more than enough for him #if he’s been waiting since he was like 10 #than a couple of more years is nothing #max verstappen #charles leclerc #lestappen

#Gerri Kellman #Roman Roy #I LOVE this scene so much. #The full gifs show it better but I want their faces up close on my dash #but I love the dynamic of the capable scary General Counsel who shows a wary but gentle tolerance for this Roy child in particular #The sweetest of Caroline's kids most of the time. and Gerri would know having pretty much watched him grow up #On the other hand we have his delightfully super flustered fidgeting which is saying something given that Roman is fidgeting on legs #I love her joke about being in America. who else would Gerri Kellman rib like that? No one but the tiny puppy yapping at her well-shod feet #I love her “Be brave” and Roman's body language in the last gif! With his “Yes Mommy”. #Pretending she's boring but he's soaking up her caring words and attention all on him. #She's literally the ONLY person on earth (apart from Logan when he's rarely happy with Roman) #who can encourage and comfort and cheer Roman up. unlike Logan however #Gerri's gentle demeanor doesn't leave Roman feeling like the other shoe is about to drop anytime. No bad taste in his mouth. #Succession #my gifs #Culkin and Cameron-Smith MUST both win. They were INCREDIBLE and only kept raising the bar until the end.
