#without her I’m nothing

[turtleblogatlast]

Unironically think that each of the bros (+April) don’t actually get how impressive their feats really are so they just do what they do and on the off chance someone comments on those feats they all react like:

#rottmnt #tmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #no but really #I love thinking that they’re actually way more prideful about the stuff that does not even hold a candle to their other feats #like yeah Mikey can open a hole in the space time continuum but that’s nothing have you TRIED his manicotti?? #yeah Leo has outsmarted multiple incredibly intelligent and capable people AND knows how to rewire AI but eh did you hear his one liners? #donnie accidentally made regular animatronics sentient but that was an oopsie check out his super cool hammer instead #raph was able to fake his own death to save the entirety of New York and then be the one to bring about his brothers’ inner powers- #but forget about that did you know he can punch like a BOSS? #and April can survive and THRIVE against a demonic suit of armor alongside literal weapons of destruction as a regular human- #but her crane license is where it’s really at #(not to mention all the other secondary talents and skills these kids all just sorta have like - they are VERY CAPABLE) #honorable mentions in this regard go moments like #donnie ordering around an entire legion of woodland critters to create a woodsy tech paradise #or Leo being able to avoid an entire crowd’s blind spots in plain sight #and also being able to hold a pose without moving a millimeter while covered in paint and being transported no I’m NOT OVER THAT #Mikey casually being ridiculously strong and also knowledgeable enough about building to help Donnie make the puppy paradise for Todd #Raph literally led an entire group of hardened criminals like that entire episode was just #basically they’re all so capable???? #and at the same time prone to wiping out at the most inopportune of moments #love them sm

Tim’s done a great job of introducing Marisol says Ryan - yes he saw how bad her acting was and gave her as little screen time as possible while still having her there 🤭🤭🤭

#whist giving Shannon more screen time #and introducing her in the midst of the loudest most queer buddie scenes we’ve had since the poker date (and these were louder) #I’m not petty but I am - she can’t act and is a terrible human #plus I’m expecting conflict with Chris to come up because they’ve been dating what a couple of weeks and he’s already introduced them?!!! #what are you doing Eddie my man - did you learn nothing from dating ana?! #even without my fandom buddie goggles on I can tell you that it’s the perfect introduction to someone we’re not lent to care about #like the ga aren’t gonna give two hoots about her #so it was the perfect introduction- Ryan you’re right #911 spoilers #eddie diaz

Natural team dynamic progression over stream for Blue team (Soulfire) [Day One of purgatory]:

Split into two main groups—

Farming/base-bound: Tina, Missa, Lenay, Niki

Fighters/Runners: Bad, Tubbo, Pierre

Tubbo is main official leader, and Bad and Tina have been acting as co-leaders per their groups for the most part. Tina had been the biggest support leader and the main person keeping morale up within the group-- Missa, Lenay, and Niki being her main supply runners/farmers that she distributed tasks through. Pierre has become main runner who turns in missions, while Tubbo and Bad run distraction. Majority of plans are thought up by Tina, Bad, Tubbo, and Pierre, and are run through Tubbo before execution.

They’ve maintained lead the entire stream for the most part.

#qsmp #this is mostly my personal tracking so I can keep note of character dynamics #I find it really interesting how natural leadership progresses #and Tina has been MVP in keeping them all tied together #she checks in continuously esp on the quiet members like niki missa and lenay #she is the backbone of their opporations handling all farming management and tasks #without her they’d have nothing to turn in #I’m so proud of her lol I didn’t know Tina before qsmp but I would die for her #this is not without noting other members moments like missa getting apples and lenay getting dirt #niki has been fueling them too #bad and Tubbo have been PVP heavy to protect Pierre and do their best to keep close ranks #Tubbo in particular killed a lot of people. probably the most out of all the team #and bad tends to play tubbos close backup #Pierre also had a moment where he snuck in and turned in a BUNCH of missions unprotected #everyone’s done a good job!! they are a very cohesive team #esp with a lot of players not usually present on the server

dana scully is the realest character ever because she’s a failure of her own creation

#i’m sick again #physically not just in the head #so nothing i say makes any sense #but #she fails her parents by sacrificing medicine for the fbi #she fails mulder by not believing #by wanting him alive and well and not just The Truth #by not being able to find him #she fails at being the kind of mother who can protect her child #from murderous cults and alien supersoldiers alone without asking for help #whatever THAT kind of mother is #she fails at living in a haunted house with a haunted man #instead she ‘fled’ #she’s right 5% of the time and she cannot keep anyone safe #and she views all of this as failures #as people being ‘dissapointed’ in her #as not ‘being capable’ #but ARE they failures?? #and is it her having unbearable expectations for herself #or is it the world that she lives in #a world that makes her abandon everything that feels stable to her including her child #in order to ever be right #txf #scully #dana scully

Hello praying people, I'm not doing well and would really appreciate your prayers right now <3

#long very boring and unnecessarily detailed tag monologue incoming‚ feel free to skip: #this is going to sound like a silly thing to be hitting rock bottom over #but i’m fairly certain i have a semi-rare skin condition known as sensitive skin syndrome #which is basically where skin gets progressively more sensitive #until it won’t tolerate the topical application of anything at all without getting irritated #usually it happens to people on the skin of their face and i have it there but i also specifically have it on my lips #(which apparently is extremely not normal; i found a dermatologist’s case study from like 2019 of one woman who had it on her lips #and according to this case study there were no other cases of people having it on their lips #in all the dermatological literature he had read) #i can’t follow the protocol which all the journal articles i’ve been able to find say is helpful for the rest of the face which is basicall #leave the area the heck alone for at least a year #because if i don’t apply anything to my lips for more than two or three days they will get so dry they crack and bleed #so it’s looking like one way or another i may be having to deal with dry burning irritated lips for the rest of my life #and i’m not dealing with the thought of that very well #i’ve already suffered so much anguish from extreme sensitivity on the rest of my face #and not being able to take proper care of the skin there #and this is just too much for me #i know God is allowing this for a reason but it’s filling me with so much frustration and panic and despair that i don’t know how to go on #but i must and i will #this isn’t a serious or a life-threatening condition but it’s looking like a pretty hopeless one and it’s hurting me badly #and i would appreciate prayers that it would just be healed or that i would know what to do #i think i will try going to my dermatologist but somehow i doubt she's even heard of sensitive skin syndrome #on a COMPLETELY unrelated note i'm just about to get my period and also for two days i've ''eaten'' nothing but vegetable smoothies #and those in pretty small amounts because they're disgusting #(do a detox my hormonal health doctor said) #(it'll be fun she said) #ok if you read this far you're so brave braver than any u.s. marine etc. #thanks for reading ily <3

“A love story with a psychological interest … a rather doubtful experiment with a public who expects a certain style from an author."

— Lucy Maud Montgomery, the Selected Journals of, on the subject of 'Kilmeny of the Orchard'

#the kilmeny read-along has been sooo funny to third-party #you guys are so genius #i always felt like kilmeny was maud’s ‘gotcha’ #mostly because of this above journal entry #it felt like a total satirical play on traditional fairy tales #right down to how we see kilmeny’s life truly begin and develop and the moment she meets her ‘prince’ eric #like #right after she meets eric things progress for her… she sees herself for the first time… she perceives herself… and in the end she speaks #all things she hadn’t or couldn’t achieve without him #so here we have our damsel in distress… given growth and a beginning by a man that only wants to really trap her again #say nothing of the way kilmeny is the titular character and yet it is ERICS story #with god all things are possible and with maud all things are intentional #this feels like maud (a huge lover of fairy tales in general) having a bit of a go at these old-timey stories #how easy it is to suppose she was poking some fun at the Way of the World then too #her own existence as a woman was about to transform at the time she wrote it… she was engaged to ewen in 1908 #ANYWAY that is my whole entire 2¢ #i’m about to go like posts and make it EVERYONEs problem so RIP to y’all’s notifs #lucy maud montgomery #kilmeny of the orchard

I don’t even think it’s textually supported that Aredhel would have been happy with Turgon executing Eöl. If anything, the textual evidence we do have is that “Aredhel and Idril moved [Turgon] to mercy”, which is presumably to say they convinced Turgon not to decide to execute Eöl BEFORE Aredhel died, which means that at that point, even after he tried to kill their son, Aredhel still doesn’t want Eöl dead. (Or at least doesn’t want him executed.)

And then she dies, and Turgon immediately executes Eöl.

#mine #silm #nothing says ‘i respect my dead sister’ like IMMEDIATELY doing smth she asked you Not To Do upon her death #i would not say i’m a turgon fan but i am a turgon Enjoyer if only in the sense that i think he’s a lot more morally crunchy #than tolkien tends to present him as. like i Do think this elf messed up in a lot of ways & i Like that abt him #but it’s hard to find takes in this fandom that lean into that without leaning into ‘and he was Just Evil’ bc that’s not it either #he was traumatized! he did his Best with that but his best was only really okay. and i like that

[gregoryeddiesgoldchain]

i think that if they do a whole “hurt the nice guy on the way to ur real love” thing with manny i’ll be a lil disappointed honestly. don’t get me wrong i still love gregory but i just feel like quinta and the team are more creative than that

#nothing has been exactly what we expect and I hope they continue to subvert those norms in the usually fun ways that they do #like I understand that Janine is finding herself and being selfish with her time and goals #and I’m very much here for that #but I think they can do that and explore whatever might or might not be there with manny and eventually Gregory #without being shitty to manny in the process #I just hate that trope in romance stuff #there’s absolutely something to be said for the importance and beauty of new experiences and yeah sometimes being with someone else #shows you what you really want #but there’s a way to do that without being horrible and gross #and I think if anyone can find it it’s Janine and Quinta #abbott elementary #janine teagues #ae s3

More like rad-b-gone lol

#I love that you can see me back off to dodge his grab before I’m like oh wait I can just bonk him lol #thank you radagon for being the only boss I could see myself doing hitless #except my dodge rate for his stomp/poke combo is like 5% #so it’s only feasible if he doesn’t do that move… #oh and the “nothing personnel kid” teleport and fast smash can also suck it #him the crucible knights and the bell bearing hunter are the only enemies I’ve learned to consistently parry in ER 😮‍💨 #I tried learning malenia’s parries but her damage is so overtuned it str8 up was not worth the risk and effort 🥴 #radagon definitely isn’t the most fun boss in Elden ring but I think he’s like the most fair out of every single one #which is why it’s gr8 that all my goodwill gets toss out the window with Elden beast 🥴 #I had one moment where he did Elden stars chase attack the triple closing rings and then sword swipes #and got absolutely annihilated bc I could not dodge all 3 attacks at once #like attack RNG has always been part of the difficulty in these games but with my limited knowledge this is the first one where #(( outside of gank fights )) #the RNG difficulty slider goes from manageable all the way to full health to death #had one round with malenia where she used waterfowl blade SIX TIMES and I only managed to survive bc I was playing around with a mage build #and was letting bby tiche do most of the damage while I pulled aggro from far away enough that I could dodge WFB comfortably #can you tell I’ve only ever done double godskins with both NPC summons and tears #I’ve heard enough about that fights bullshit that I straight up trivialize it every time I get it to it #Elden ring truly is the most difficult and easiest fromsoft game to date… dialectic 🥳 #excited to see how they balance things in the DLC bc honestly outside of WFB malenia really is a fun boss #I don’t mind that her normal attacks are so punishing bc dodging around them or knocking her out of certain attacks feels gr8 #so if bosses are malenia level TUNED without WFB level BULLSHIT I can see myself getting really into it 🥳 #tsuchi plays games

Genshin things that I will ignore in canon:

Diluc and Kaeya exchanging letters to each other during his 3-4 year revenge quest

Kid Kaeya was a perfect angel who never did anything wrong

Adult Kaeya is a perfect angel who never did anything wrong

(Let the man be morally dubious that’s when he’s most interesting. Plus his recent characterization is inconsistent with his earlier one and his bio lore)

Yae Miko tormenting every single Inazuma guy character (her silly rivalry with Itto can stay it’s funny)

60% of the Venti alcohol jokes (they aren’t funny most of the time. The only time it’s funny is times like when Beidou wouldn’t let Venti and Kazuha drink despite them both being of legal drinking age)

Paimon being the travelers voice (I’m in the minority where I like Paimon as I feel she’s the travelers annoying little sister and with that in mind she’s written rather well but I do agree with everyone who’s annoyed with how she speaks for the traveler. While I’ve never published any fanfics in a lot of my ideas Paimon ends up getting a bit shafted due to me not really knowing what to do with her because outside of being the travelers voice she doesn’t do all that much.)

Most of the Inazuma main story (if I want to I can be willfully ignorant and enjoy the story but after reading gold-rhine’s Inazuma re-write I can never go back)

The traveler being a jerk to Furina at the beginning of her story quest. (In character for Paimon but the traveler I think would at least be a little more understanding and would try to get Paimon to stop guilt tripping her)

Finally, the traveler fails to get Charlotte any scoops from the fortress of meropide. (I know why but they did waste a bunch of her money and that feels mean)

#genshin impact #extra: 90% of fandom jokes #the aren’t funny and most end up as wild mischaracterozations #tbh most of what I’m annoyed with in Genshin either has to do with gameplay or fandom #I’m pretty good at enjoying stories regardless of quality #one of my favorite games is Fire Emblem Fates #a lot of my Kaeya beef comes from Diluc being my first fave #I read a bunch of good fics that treat the whole thing with nuance and how neither of them were in the right and they both screwed up #and now like 90% is all about Kaeya #or shipping #I’m neutral to most ships #I got Stockholm syndromed into like Neuvilette x Wriothesley #I have at one point activly seeked out Childe x Zhongli #I’m fine with a bunch of popular ones (JeanLisa Eulamber etc) #but so much of Genshin fandom is shipping and because of that it’s so hard to find fics of characters I like without it #that’s why I got stockholmed into liking Neuvilette x Wriothesley #because so many interesting fic premises had it in there it was like or be unable to read those fics #plus I like aro/ace Diluc and I actively headcanon a lot of characters to be somewhere on the aro and or ace spectrum #this is less of a thing I’m ignoring and more of a this makes no sense thing but #in the long ass multi update fontain side quest there is a girl who grew up in the fortress of meropide #and it seems ooc for Wriothesley not either have not noticed her existence or to have done nothing about it #but I can’t ignore it because the quest wouldn’t make sense without her #so for me he knows and is trying to do something about it but can’t get her out for whatever reason #idk something about her not existing on Fontaines people records of something #the least he could do is ask some of the guards to look after her and keep her safe and happy #that’s my explanation

[myfriendtheghost]

this fandom is literally evil I swear

#like wtf y’all #em has done nothing but provide us with incredible content and she wants one show without her phone out ?? and she’s getting threats over it #be so fr pleeeeeease get a life outside of this band I’m begging

So the natural conclusion of a fifth installment is that Nikki fails to stop the apocalypse in Shining Nikki too…. RIP

#honestly I really just want to know like. who else is there #because to me the draw of the nikki games has always been the cast and the lore #so I wanna know what era of Miraland we are talking about here. #and whether they’re going to wipe out the cast of shining Nikki via timeline resets and alternate times the way they did with LN #I hope they don’t try to do a BoTW apocalyptic style setting just cause it’s open world :/ #or a legends of arceus early settlement era type setting. just cause it’s open world :/ #basically what I’m saying is give me the TOWNS the CITIES the WEIRD HERMITS WHO LIVE IN ENCHANTED GROVES #if there is not at least one strange reclusive man with inexplicable charisma for living alone in the woods of Cloud I am screaming #Nikki is nothing without her friends 😭 we’ve been through this

to anyone dealing with ptsd, has there been anything that has helped relieve some of the symptoms?

#im emotionally stuck due to the constant reliving of what happened #i get these weirdly intense flashbacks where i can remember the how the fabric of the couch looked like up close #and how they felt. and how everything looked. the way the colored lights hit the room a certain way #i think i did myself a disservice by thinking i was soooo in love that i didn’t want to forget any details lmao #now i can remember everything like a photograph and sometimes i find myself back in my old apartment and the fear floods my chest #and i can’t breathe and my stomach starts turning it’s terrible. i really felt like i was in hell #i stopped smoking ouid 3 weeks ago bc whenever these flashbacks would happen the high would make them HD and it would send me into a loop #but now i think weed was the thing keeping me above water… it’s been a rough 3 weeks. but before i start smoking again #i wanted to ask if anyone found something else that made it a little easier #it’s been months since our break up and i really want to move on. i’ve tried to meet other people but i’m terrified of men #and i find myself unable to connect with anyone… #i’ve been physically better which i am so grateful for because being unhealthy was my biggest reason i was so depressed #i’ve been doing therapy but i talk about the same thing with her every week. i’m tired of it #i think i’m still in disbelief that they did that to me. i never thought they’d be capable of hurting someone so badly. #i can’t get over the fact that he r***** me for months while i was disabled and pretended not to know what he was doing was bad #i realized he knew when he tried to make it look like i was crazy. that made me really sad. i think i was hoping he was clueless so #i could still believe he was a good person… or at least the man i fell in love with. i was willing to forgive him once he apologized… #when he tried to make it seem like i was going insane the blindfold came off and i saw him for who he really was #like no wonder i was so scared of u dude… no wonder i kept having panic attacks anytime we were together and i couldn’t sleep next to u #i’ve been afraid to admit that shit broke me as a person. i don’t think i’ll ever be the same. i can’t function. #plus knowing i stayed for her bc i was worried for her and didn’t want her to experience the same thing without someone there bc i realized #how good he was at gaslighting and lying. only to find out she was waiting for an excuse to get rid of me… she wanted me gone… #i went thru all that for nothing… #and i still don’t understand why each time i tried to leave for my own good- to get medical help and support they begged me to stay!!! why #brain vomit
