Taylor's warlord arc was what got me back into drawing after IB. Figure I might as well reveal that drawing, my first ever worm fanart.

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

A plant/dragon hybrid who tries very hard to blend in with their bug civilians (and fails miserably at it)

(the second pic is just to show how far their markings reach)

Transcript of what's written on the doodles:

Antennae

VERY non-expressive

Looong neck

Horns are actually branches, need to be trimmed

Can be styled into different horn styles

Eyes same colour as White Lady's but with slit pupils

Slutty, SLUTTY eyelashes

Tail stylised like a deer's, one continuous line from the back

I'm so sorry for this angle

Mouth not visible (unless it's open)

No it is not. #If I don't give characters eyelashes I WILL explode. Doesn't matter if they're a bug or a plant. Put eyelashes on that bad boy #ALSO. I JUST REALISED THAT THE RIDGES ON THEIR NOSE FORM A HEART. NOT INTENTIONAL BUT I LOVE THAY #Tried to capture what would look like major uncanny valley vibes for a bug in HK

what do you think dros was thinking when he first saw the phasmid? was he experiencing wonder; serenity? did he feel the world was still playing sick tricks on him: did he believe he was going insane from isolation and this was one of the symptoms? was it helplessness - that even though this miracle of nature stood before him, his beliefs prevented him from telling anyone about it? did the phasmid stand over iosef, watching him watch martinaise through his scope? did he feel her eyes on him for hours, until he forgot the eyes and the pheromones burnt a hole in his brain where she used to be? is he in a kind of grief over her absence in his head? is it a coincidence that the character who is most unable to move on from his past is on an island where the only other living being tells the player to turn from the ruin and move forward? that the most self-appraisingly noble and hopeless of causes has looked at the future for too long, and it is destroying him...

#this too is yuri #i find it funny and heartbreaking. maybe he did love the bug - in a way. #companionship. he never shot it. it just stood there and watched him until his mind eroded... #also? the sorrow in her voice when she tells you this? #she cared for him in a way that the future might take pity on the past. but ultimately it washes away. #into the wild pale yonder. because the people of the present cannot dwell unless they crave stagnation #and the other two stagnated men - stagnated socially; financially; ideologically; occupationally - capture a piece of something beautiful #while the man who sat and dwelled until that miracle next to him dissolved into mundane fractures falls apart himself in grief #and confusion. the world truly has no place for him anymore. #in other words: #get stickbugged #<- that is their ship name now #txt #disco elysium #insulindian phasmid #iosef dros

WIP Wednesday (MLC Mind Control Bug Fic Edition)

Happy Wednesday! Have some of a new MLC fic I just started working on!

I realized I had very strong feelings about amnesia in fics (as someone who has experienced it before), and so a new MLC one-shot fic was born, in which amnesiac a-Fei discovers the mind control bug in his neck his first night in Lotus Tower. (This part takes place after his failed attempts to get it out.)

To anyone who is missing my MLC longfic excerpts, the plan is to continue with them next week! (I'm hoping to get this one up on AO3 by the end of the weekend!)

A-Fei’s head swam a little with each step, but the pain had mostly subsided to a dull, manageable thud in time with his pulse. He was distantly tempted to pull himself free from Li Lianhua’s hands and walk unaided back to Lotus Tower, gathering enough energy to collapse only once he had reached his bed upstairs. But Li Lianhua gripped his arm more tightly the first time he even felt like he might be about to wobble, and yanked it over his shoulder until he was using Li Lianhua like half a crutch. And suddenly, not touching Li Lianhua seemed unacceptable.

“What were you thinking?” Li Lianhua muttered again, wrapping his other arm around a-Fei’s back and resting his hand on his waist. “You probably reopened your stab wound, collapsing like that. I really should be charging you for this, you know. You’re getting my professional expertise for free.” His grip tightened on a-Fei’s waist too close to the stab wound, sending ripples of angry fire coursing up his torso. 

A-Fei hissed out a pained breath. “It’s worth exactly what I’m paying for it.”

Li Lianhua pulled his hand away from the injured waist like he’d been burned. “Don’t be ridiculous,” he said, putting his hand much higher up this time, closer to a-Fei’s ribcage. “I was just checking to see if you’re bleeding through the bandages. It’s a necessary part of the process.”

“Hmm,” a-Fei hummed, taking several more steps and relishing the sensation of the man’s hand against his side. His fingers were cold but the touch warmed him nonetheless. “And am I?” 

“Are you what?”

“Bleeding through the bandages?”

“I didn’t finish checking. You’re too terrible a patient,” Li Lianhua said, squeezing a-Fei’s forearm in what seemed like an apology. “I’ll have to examine it more inside.”  

“I see,” a-Fei said, taking another step, his mind still turning over the grip on his arm. Had they touched often? The idea of anyone else touching him made him want to unsheathe his dao, but with Li Lianhua, he would almost rather chance one of his bai hui’s acupoint’s lightening bolts of pain than step away. And as much as he disliked the idea of needing his wound examined, it would give him the opportunity to examine Li Lianhua. And to continue observing his own reactions to the man’s hands. “And what exactly does this examination entail?” he teased. “Based on your earlier example, I assume pinching or punching the wound? Or stabbing it again to check the durability of the healing skin?”

Li Lianhua snorted. “Only if you keep insulting my competence.” Then he paused, mid-step, his grip on a-Fei loosening. “Ah. I’m just going to look at the plaster. If blood has soaked through it, I’ll pour hemostatic powder on the wound first and then put a new plaster on. You’ll just need to untie your robes, but they can stay on. I’ll be quick.”

Huh. Unexpected. He had been joking, but actual information about what to expect didn’t hurt. Although something about the way he mentioned robes was strange. Almost as though Li Lianhua was uncomfortable about it. There was no reason for that to be an awkward request from someone providing medical treatment–

Unless they had been in a relationship, or at least had prior sexual history together.

It would certainly explain his response to Li Lianhua’s hands touching him. 

He’d have to investigate more to be sure, since asking would be sure to prompt more lies.

We all know that Buggy is probably a very petty clown.

It would be pretty fun to think that Buggy would go as far as humiliating some a small-time Marines by beating them in a singing and dancing contest. Hear me out:

So, it's a random island (and before Buggy's a Impel Down inmate, so he's not a Warlord) and they nearly get caught by those Marines. Suddenly a bat-shit crazy idea comes to Buggy and he blurts out 'Hey, how about we do this instead?' Initially the Marines wouldn't goanna do it, but then Buggy mocks them.

So it happens, the Marines go first (they were alright), then it's Buggy's turn and this is where the Marines realize they fucked up

This clown literally destroys them, they can't ever come back from this. The civilians are screaming and cheering for the fucking pirate to do more. They can't tell anyone in the Marines about this.

Can't Buggy be this petty?

I think that the Snakemouth roaches had a leaf of the Everlasting Sapling, but Spuder ate it.

- It explains why Spuder has been around since Queen Elizant 1 times

- The first and last chapter bosses would have both eaten the Sapling, which is nice bookends

- It's really funny

The problem with this theory is that Spuder is not covered in leaves like the Everlasting King. I'll fix that tomorrow, but right now it's really late.

#the scientists were kinda terrified of Spuder after he ate the leaf #there was a period where they tried to capture Spuder to study #but alas they failed #bug fables spoilers #bug fables #spuder #theory #headcanon

Just realized that since Tessa was the original creator of the giggle/cleaner bugs she can practically tell them who to wreck >:3

Context: Giggle bugs know how to built each other to populate, so after the first was created, they felt lonely so they made another. And the two made another and another until there were thousands of em scurrying around everywhere within days (this hc by @g1ggl3-c4t I only added on :3)
