#that's a serious bummer

[ironinkpen]

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!!!!!!

Poor angsty lil oreo 😟 maybe he could need a reboop of his installment... or preferably a nice comforting hug from New Rat friend?? UwU seriously, would be sooo cute omg! 2 cuties hugging it out is just soo awww~ pls?? ✨🥺🙏

- 🍓

Well, the rat is me (hello!), so I guess I could give Cross a hug if he needs!

But he should be warned, I am a bear hugger >:3c

And while I'm here hugging skeletons, if I could be serious for just a second (because any longer and I'll die of sillyness deficiency)

This is the anniversary of a really sad day for me, and if I hadn't had undertale to be obsessed with and distract myself I can't imagine how much worse it would have been. So I just wanted to say thank you for letting me jump into the fandom and make stuff and have fun, it really means a lot <3

#Ask #Anon #UTDR #UTMV #I won't get into the sad thing don't worry - no bummers here! #But for realsies thank you guys for being really sweet and nice and making such amazing things #Getting absolutely obsessed with all these skeletons has been the best thing I did in the last year #and I'm super glad I got to know all you and see your amazing art and be friends <3 #Anyway serious time over - I am hugging every skeleton until they make a squeaky toy noise #Who do you think makes the best squeak when you squeeze them? #I could see it being Blue or maybe Horror

Your character designs are always so dang cool!!! Are the captain positions on other ships in the holy fleet challenged for like the position of GHB in a duel to the death, or are they appointed? (Some combination thereof?) The Orisoner looks so friendly, but I bet he’s brained somebody with that whimsical staff! I love that in the group shot Kurloz’s frame is almost a 2x scaled up version of Sister Waspclaw - his Gigantic Lankiness is just so fun. (Also LMAO at Kurloz being too prudish to claim his right to show tits! Honestly any time he mentions modesty standards being different a couple centuries ago it cracks me right up 😂)

Aw, thank you! :D Waspclaw is real small for a highblood, especially a relatively old and powerful one--smaller than pretty much all her pupated students, and a few of the pre-pupation ones! So next to Kurloz "Big Motherfucker" Makara, she's absolutely tiny. But does still manage to have more boobs than he does. Tragic.

RE: succession, it varies! It's pretty much always going to include some amount of combat--some of the variety where the loser is allowed to slink away and lick their wounds, and some where they definitely don't. Let's see. On a scale from most to least "Challenge To The Death"...

Definitely the Behemoth. It follows the same rules as the Grand Highblood challenge--if two trolls who want to be in charge walk into what passes for a captain's court on the Freakshow, only one is going to come out. Yozuna's not fast, and most trolls who ARE fast aren't nearly strong enough to make a dent in it even if they hit it--but the fact that Kurloz is big enough to really hit it hard and also came up specializing in speed and evasion is probably a real big part of the reason it hasn't made any attempt to challenge him for the throne, honestly.

Waspclaw. She's very lax with gutsy newbies getting fresh with each other and their superiors, thus the Joker's reputation for letting people get away with stuff, but stepping to her directly is SUPER dangerous. Make your gamble if you know you can get away with it!! But always know you aren't going to get away with it with her. :o) Plus, much like the Uderaks and Untoxxic, she works in poisons and venoms, and also she's heavily min-maxed into speed, so by the time you realize your challenge fight has officially been accepted, she's gone "well, they made their choice!" and you've been stung with something fatal.

The Abattoir. He isn't fucking around, although she also strikes me as very businesslike about it, and not inclined to be vindictive about the act of the challenge itself. I think the format is a little less "immediate fight to the death" and a little more "courtly duel" in keeping with both of his knightly sort of vibes. The exception being if you manage to draw blood on either of him, in which case shit flips very much into death-match mode. Also like. Hard-mode. You do have to challenge for both ships at once, and you will be fighting both of her. So like, considering authority over Elixir and Stardust features a lot of interfacing with the nonbelievers and doing Finance and shit, not a lot of people are jumping at THAT daunting prospect lol.

The Judgment. She wants to hear your argument for why the fuck you think you have what it takes to perform the physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually-taxing work of disciplining the wayward sinner-criminals of the church, and she's not getting any younger, here! If she feels like she's won her argument and the battle and you're inclined to back down in shame, she's not going to continue to press the point, but she will definitely openly think less of you for making a stupid and badly thought out attempt on her authority. She's as close as the church fleet gets to having a legislacerator taskforce, and she's just as stern and hard-assed as the Cruelest Bar, but also a large part of the Penitent's function is for flagellation and rehabilitation (???) of potentially-redeemable highbloods who've fucked up in ways that the church considers forgivable enough to give them a shot. She's down to clown (fatal) but also she's not an executioner necessarily.

Brother Libation. I drew inspiration from Il Dottore from the commedia del'arte, Bacchus, and the whole concept of drunken fist characters as an archetype, so if he's challenged he's got like... a 33% chance of just offering some kind of whimsical puzzle challenge that nobody ever manages to solve to his satisfaction, a 33% chance of just verbally convincing them to chill the fuck out by being a Cool Hang, and a 33% chance of bonking them heartily to the brink of death with his big spiky gourd.

The Orisoner wins for least deathmatchy. You can try to challenge, but you'll just get invited to come chill and vibe and just like. Really get into why you think your leadership will be hilarious and honoring to the messiahs, and what you think about art, and why you feel like you need captaincy to make the changes you want to see in the church and empire. If anybody attempts to escalate to violence, they'll mostly be met with a vaguely disappointed, surprisingly benevolent no-weapon-open-palms kind of rebuff, and if things continue to get more aggressive from there, the big spiky walloping staff will come out and be employed with startling effectiveness and skill lmao. But! If there were ever going to be highbloods inclined to take debate of best leadership policy over violence, it's the ones who decide they want to be theologians professionally. (Debate of best religious interpretation is a whole other ballgame, and gets aggressive here more than any other ship on the fleet lol). Orisoner in general though, would be one of the safer trolls you could be around as like, a human or a lowblood, if you had to pick a ship.

#ask time! #Gianna Yozuna #Vespul Astopa #The Orisoner #The Abattoir #Zhadie Deijou #Bachio Dotore #Yozuna is where it is because it just plain likes to fight. It likes to win and be on top and be challenged and fuck people up. So like. #do not recommend. as a troll to challenge lmao. #It's probably the only one who like. If you issued a serious challenge even if it just stood up and its killing intent convinced you- #-to back down and apologize. that bell is rung and you ARE now dead. Most of the others would be willing to let a challenger go #just demanding varying types and degrees of penance/grovelling/leaving and never coming back to their various ships #meanwhile Orisoner will kick somebody's ass up and down the deck with deadly intent if pushed and then be like #''anyway i hope this was like totally enlightening motherfucker. :o) Come on up for the service of laughter tonight! :o)'' #or like. ''aw man bummer :o('' if they died

I love over-analyzing media and I have pulled magnificent theories and headcanons out of my ass on the tiniest crumbs in other fandoms before BUT

y'all might be taking this improvised comedy show that is greatly determined by dice rolls a little too seriously

#dimension 20 #fhjy #the number of times I've seen a bit turned into a long sad analysis of the character's trauma ugh #if you browse the tag of this show w/o knowing what it's actually about #you're gonna think it's a lot more serious and dramatic and painful than it actually is #and that little comedy bits are actually hugely significant when they're just jokes #I've seen it with almost every character #and multiple plot points #across nearly every season #and I'm not here to be the fandom police but aren't you guys tired? #does this show not make you laugh way more than it makes you cry? #this fandom is such a bummer sometimes lol #and so often things are hugely influenced by dice rolls #and the story doesn't go the way the PCs or even the GM thinks it will #but people pick apart 'plot holes' or inconsistent characterization #the cast is making this shit up as they go y'all! #cut them some slack and also don't assume every single little thing is significant #honestly surprised I didn't see deep and tragic analyses about the vulture dimension #rambling about my life

[blujayonthewing]

PLEASE SAY SIKE???) #but marcille's voice is so.... :') yeah yeah yeah let's get into the more serious moments of this story with the VA doing a Fake Lady Voice #SORRY FOR BEING A HATER it's just annoying because I wanted!! to be watching the dub I don't WANNA be a WEEB ABOUT IT #and like I don't knoooow maybe she also sounds like she's Doing A Voice in japanese and it's just harder to tell because I don't speak it #BIG SHRUG. DON'T LIKE THE IT. #like I watched the first ep in english FIRST and was so '... :\' about the VA that I tried the sub just because I felt disappointed #anyway. sorry weebs. I get it now. #about me

something people always fucking forget about the people dying in Palestine is that they're not just numbers. each death isn't just another +1 to an ongoing tally. it's a story ended prematurely, a hope snuffed out. Each one of these people had dreams. Each one of these people ate breakfast in the morning and dinner at night. Each one of these people have laughed and cried and had a favorite drink they had preferences just like you and I. they were people. and now they're gone. Just because it's far away from a lot of us in America, because we can't see it happen with our own eyes, since we can't walk along the rubble with our own feet, we forget just how harrowing how sickening how tragic this all is. Love Palestinians before it's too late. Speak up for Palestinians before it's too late.

#palestine #this is all just spewed from my brain no editing just pure thought because maaaaan its a fucking bummer #sorry i sound like a surfer dude i know this is serious this is just how i am. as a person

As a PokePark kid, the Synchro Machine will be my everything. I cannot believe that it’s gonna be a real thing. You mean that I’m actually going to be able to live out my dream and play as a Pokémon once again. Is it true you mean every Pokémon. Tell me it’s true. You mean to tell me I can be Golurk. You mean to tell me I can be Sunflora. You mean to tell me I can be anything. Is it true that you can use any Pokémon.

Oh my god. When mom told me I could be anything… I didn’t know it meant I could become God. I’m putting Arceus in the Synchro Machine and playing God. Nothing can stop me.

#sleep deprived thiughts #the kiwi speaks #to be fair I don’t actually know if it’s going to be limited or not #if it is like. that’ll be just a little bummer but like #like I said. I was a PokePark kid. i won’t be upset if I can only be the Pika Clones or the starters #but I do really wanna try other Pokémon too #like flying around as some Pokémon or swimming… #this is gonna be it. this is gonna be my everything #I’ve made jokes about random things that will make me die happy #I’m so serious thought like #this is my dream come true #this is my everything #this is the very thing that will truly allow me to die happy /SRS #sorry for two posts in a row this is a follow up to my last post #okay I’m going nini now #Pokémon #Pokémon Indigo Disk #Indigo Disk #pokémon scarlet and violet #Pokémon Scarlet #Pokémon violet #Pokémon scarvio

i don't make resolutions, but if i did

it would be to finish this fic

(and to be kind to myself for however long it takes to actually do so)

#i'm finishing it if it kills me #i know i've been writing this makeout scene for 3 weeks but baby that can't last forever #if we want to get deep and dark and serious for a second i do think a lot of my struggles to write lately have to do with engagement #and how incredibly low engagement has been on the last few things i've written #which like. is what it is. i'm not entitled to anybody's time or comments or kudos. #but when you write stuff you're proud of and it feels like it's barely getting read it's hard to keep momentum. #this isn't intended as a woe is me or whatever it's just kind of like. there. hovering. #happens enough times you start to wonder if it's you. am i just writing for the wrong fandom/ship? #(too bad if so. they're in my bones i'm writing for them and no one can stop me.) #but yeah. if you ever wonder if authors do care or notice about hits. comments. kudos. buddy i am here to tell you #not only do we care and FLOURISH we also notice when those things drop off and readers vanish #and it is a giant bummer. and sometimes makes us wildly paranoid about why that might have happened. #so if you liked a fic today--not even one of mine. just. anybody's. share it. comment on it. #kudos at the VERY least (cuz frankly kudos is there to be an 'i got to the end and this was nice' feature. #so when you get 500 hits and only like 30 kudos? it feels like 470 of those people hated your work) #anyway. that got out of hand. lil' too raw lil' too honest. happens when you let yourself ramble at 11:30 instead of sleeping #to sum: let your local fic writer know if they've made you happy #and as we go into 2024 i am swearing to myself that this fic (and probably several others) are getting finished #come hell. high water. or dishearteningly low engagement numbers. #(and then maybe we...actually work on something original. cuz why not. new year same old me but i'll do my best.)

[ginalinettiofficial]

ok i’m actually mad abt how little continuity dndads has rn like why are we doing memory stuff if we haven’t checked to make it consistent w what we’ve already said has happened ????

and also why are they seemingly determined to character assassinate ALL of the characters from s1???? up to and including the already dead ones?????

and ALSO what is even the plot anymore i feel like the world building has been so inconsistent and loosey-goosey and like that’s okay when it isn’t relevant to the plot but in this season where it IS relevant to the plot like. what are we doing???? who can or can’t travel between dimensions???? what are the limitations????

i’m just confused and annoyed i want it to be a fun show with a story that you can follow again but lately it’s been just a mess. still fun ofc because all five of them are just fun to listen to but like. i have not been able to make any sense of what the fuck is going on for like a solid 4 episodes now and i’m just disheartened about it. it’s gone off the rails but not in a hehehaha funny fun way.

#d speaks #dndads #dndads spoilers #srry i just needed to vent like. what is happening what is happening ???? i’m so confused i don’t LIKE being constantly confused #and also i am getting so so sick of this ‘everything has to be grimdarksad no one gets a happy ending’ bs #it’s just annoying it’s pessimistic and i think there’s a line between being a comedy that deals with deep and serious issues and then just #being a bummer downer that has jokes in it. like it’s so pessimistic and none of the root issues are being solved or even fully fleshed out #and the constant indecision about the backstories of all these characters (the kiddads & the og dads) is SO frustrating #i know that there’s a degree of that to be expected just as is natural for improv #but also you’ve gotta have SOME consistency please i’m begging #i’m relistening to s1 rn and i’m in the later episodes and it’s just like. i miss when they had clear arcs #and yeah back before they character assassinated every single kiddad !!!! #also freddie and anthony specifically and their takes on glenn this episode. what the fuck was that #are you trying to tell me that everyone who said in s1 that glenn didn’t change and didn’t have any arc was RIGHT?????? #because you spent a LOT of time talking about how silly that opinion was just to now turn and around and be like yeah glenn is reverted #back to who he was in e1 !!!! like cmon. what the hell

[the-hilda-librarians-wife]

Sooo what vibe do we think we’d get from Tildy giving Johanna the shovel talk? 

#im serious btw. #im picturing her being sooo polite and gentle about it. but its only skin deep #like 'oh johanna dear im so happy that you and Kaisa are together officially! Such a joy to unite our families isnt it #sure would be a shame if anything were to ever happen... a true saddie.... quite the bummer......... #and Kaisa is such a sensitive and gentle person beneath it all too.... it would truly be unfortunate #so lets make sure.... nothing.... happens.... to kaisa..... right?' #and then she'd smile sweetly and Johanna would be shaking in her seat going 'what the fuck' #sketchbook ship #sketchbook ship hilda #chaos coven #tildy hilda

I always thought your fainting victorian lady thing was a bit, but apparently you are really sick and now I feel bad. I hope you get better and that when they pierced your back it was like a glow stick and now you look radioactive like all cool girls

my fainting victorian lady thing is absolutely a bit but that’s only because it happens often enough that it would be kind of a waste not to use it for jokes. chronic illness can kick me off a ten story building but it can’t stop me from doing bits on the way down

and yeah :) i glow purple in the dark now and the doctors are quote “deeply concerned” but I think they’re just peanut butter and jealous

#truly there is no reason to feel bad #my body hates me so much that at this point it’s just funny #if we all had to be serious about it all the time it would be a major bummer #so: bits #asks #anon

[footballandfiasco]

disappointment, then hope for like 5 minutes & then disappointment again is the worst experience ever

#its not that serious i just had a really cool opportunity because of my internship today but it got cancelled #and then i got a call that someone else goes there & i thought i could go #but he wanted to go there earlie and i could not make it there in time #bummer #chitchat

[heavencasteel420]

Does anyone have floating ideas that just kind of attach (and sometimes detach/reattach) to different WIPs?

#it's a bummer of a thing but tonight tonight is the third WIP to which the whole robbie hagan situation has attached itself #one abandoned au where el and joyce and will move to california in s4 but jonathan stays behind #(abandoned largely because joyce and jonathan would both have to majorly shift priorities just when el's addition to the family) #(would make that incredibly unlikely) #plus my stoncy idea (working title: horse girl) #neither one nearly as much of a downer as tonight tonight #horse girl is actually fun #in theory #although the context in which it would've come up in the first story #(what was i going to call it? from the dark heart of a dream?) #was maybe more disturbing than what's going on in tonight tonight #robbie hagan technically also exists in my tommy future fic idea #but he's actually okay in that universe #he's a good older brother to tommy but he dies in the so-called earthquake #and in his grief tommy gets way too serious with the girl he's seeing at the time way too fast and they get married #(not carol because they broke up right before graduation) #(because carol was sensibly like we have been together since eighth grade we have to see more of the world) #and it's just not a good match in the long-term or even in the medium-term

[theidiotwhowritesthings]

I am going to try and post Inevitable tomorrow evening as usual, but there's a chance it might be late... I had a bad writing day today where it was hard for me to get myself to write and when I did everything I typed was shit🙃 I'm super sorry but like I said I'm still gonna try to get it out tomorrow!

#jj gets serious #writing was a bummer today my friends
